Summary
“It’s not impossible, you know. Your chances.”
Qrow scoffs. “My chances. Tai, he keeps a bottle of pills just like this on him at all times. He thinks I don’t notice him popping them like chocolate chips.” He rubs his thumb in circles on the cap. “Whoever it is—it’s been happening for a long time.”
“But how do you know it isn’t you?”
“Why are you like eighty percent sure it is? Am I missing something here?”
Written for the 2020 ozqrow secret santa.

Summary
Ozpin's plans of giving Oscar a fun first Christmas with their family are dashed when a blizzard leaves them snowed in and Qrow stranded miles away right before Christmas Eve.
But maybe the time to sit down and talk is really what they needed after all, and Qrow isn't as far off as he thinks.

Summary
Nothing about Ozpin's life is ever straightforward. When an unexpected kind of attack from Salem brings him closer to Qrow, it adds yet another level of complication for both of them.

Summary
“You came back,” she says. She hasn’t moved an inch from her spot.
“You knew I would.”
“Thousands of years, and you never fail to be predictable in at least this. That has always been your greatest failing, my dear Ozma. Lost causes.” The shadows in her hand swirl into each other before separating into four very familiar forms. “You always try, and you always fail.”
She blows the shadows to him, and they fall into nothing at his feet, leaving echoes of laughter. There is a part of him, long since packed into a small box and hidden away deep inside, that feels like it’s splintering.
The rest of his soul aches.

Summary
Getting stuck home sick on New Year's Eve isn't exactly Qrow's idea of a good time. Ozpin attempts to make things better, but initially just makes them weird.
(Or, the one where Qrow doesn't know how to take care of himself and Ozpin is terrible at confessions.)

Summary
There were a lot of things Qrow expected to get by sneaking into Atlas to help out with a search mission he wasn't supposed to be a part of. Like results. Or gratitude. Or at least some acknowledgement that he has a lot to bring to the table.
Instead he gets failure, frostbite, and into bed with his boss. But that last one isn't so bad.

Summary
Sometimes, in the morning or after a quick shower, he would linger at the mirror, lightly tracing the letters of Salem's name, black and sharp along his collarbone. Once in a while, the mark would flare with a burning pain that lasted days, throbbing, distracting. It was inconvenient, but as it was likely to be a sign of Salem's frustration, then at least something somewhere was going right.
He took some comfort in that.

Of compensations and making do.
(Ozpin loses pieces of himself as the years pass, as the magic takes its toll. But, even when it ends it doesn't, and not all is lost.)

Summary
Drinking isn't a vice Ozpin engages in very often. So naturally the one time he does has to have the worst outcome possible.
Or at least that's what he has to assume when he was black-out drunk and Qrow won't talk to him about it after.

Summary
Summer, Taiyang, Raven, and Qrow would normally never stay at a place as disgustingly Atlesian as this. Unfortunately, it's nearly midnight and they don't have time to find another hotel to—hey wait a second, is that a fucking kid?
