Summary
What measures a hero? Is it the circumstances of birth, or is it one’s actions? Is it the warrant of one’s parents, or is it one’s own drive?
Ruby, and her cousin turned stepsister, Yang, are forced to care for each other ahead of their goal of Beacon: for the stigmata of culture is not easily forgotten, and the yoke weighs heavy on the pair in their homeland of Rhodes, desperate to escape the duties that would be levied by their ancestral families of diplomacy and war each.
Weiss Schnee’s upbringing is quite strenuous, traveling between Argus to see her remarried father’s family and remarried mother and stepsister as she prepares to take the company one day, with some difficulties in coping properly.
And Princess Blake Belladonna finds herself under the tutelage of a dangerous pair of firebrands: her Aunt Sienna, and her right-hand man, Adam Rainer Taurus.
For the World of Remnant is wide, and they find themself on a path of heroes and harrows, a path clad in stars and woven together, bound by fate.

Summary

Trivia “Neopolitan” Vanille fights her way through a broken city to find refuge and her lover, unbeknownst the horrors ahead.
Blake Sylvaine Belladonna comes to in the hospital, unable to find her leader, and the one she desires to vanguard above all else- left behind.

Ruby Raelynn Rose, burning righteously, rises from the ashes the morning after the storm and Beacon’s Fall, looking down at Pyrrha’s murderer: the woman she hates more than anyone. Little does she know, Cinder will be the one she redeems…
Eventually.
Or, a poly ship involving Ruby, Blake, Cinder, Neo, and a LOT of angst after the Fall of Beacon, two years later than canon.

Summary
Beacon Academy came and left: and while Weiss, Blake and Yang found themselves moving to bigger and better things, Ruby never quite got the momentum the rest of her friends did. Life has a funny way of speeding up on people, and to a burnout huntress on a crash course with her thirties, Ruby’s on her way to being all grown up.
What, and Who, does she have to show for it?
Willow Schnee is a woman of many regrets and missed opportunities. With her kids off to college and living their lives, and Jacques long since passed away, she finds herself crippled by her freedom for almost half a decade. Who she is, and who she could be, is anyone’s guess, and she has a knack for the flamboyant, a move that nearly costs her life.
But the winds of fortune are fickle: and perhaps the warm, unflinching light of a nearly extinguished, Silver-Eyed Warrior is best to thaw her ever-frozen heart?
Flowers grow best in the spring.

Summary
All good deeds and bad deeds have a direct through line. Everything meant to be good, can always be bad in some way.
And this series is that direct fallout of it: three preludes to focus on the Xiao-Long, Belladonna, and Schnee Family stories before it takes place, as well as the main fic, Sharing the same name, Consequences of Kindness.
More will be described on individual basis’s, however, all timelines will converge on the start of the story: August 12th of Year 79 of RWBY… shortly over one year before the fall of beacon, like in canon.

Summary
Two old college friends become roommates—one trying to avoid old feelings, the other catching them all over again. Between flashbacks, inside jokes, and way too many takeout nights and cuddles, love might just get a second chance, but will they finally get through the world’s most unresolved situationship?
or
Yang lands a short-term job in Atlas and crashing at Weiss' apartment is the most practical solution, right? It’s simple enough... except Weiss once confessed her feelings for her back in college—only to watch Yang choose someone else. Awkward? Just a little. I'm sure they'll be fine

Summary
It's been 25 years since the war, the forces of darkness have been defeated. Salem and her followers are dead. But 16 years ago Ruby Rose, the hero of Remnant, vanished without a trace. For years, people searched for her far and wide, but there was no trace of her anywhere. And as the years marched on? The world mourned her, built monuments in her honour, and moved on.
Today? Even her own family has stopped looking for her, only Weiss Schnee still searches. But even she has run dry on leads, the very thinnest of threads exhausted. She has no clues anymore, until the best one in decades finds itself in her office.
