Summary
“How does it feel?”
“Painful,” Tai groans out as needles meticulously map the skin of his calf, covering the scars with splashes of watercolour shades atop strong black lines. The blonde has likened those to a support on which flowers and fruit can grow, which elicited but a gruff chuckle from Qrow.
“Even when it’s not your first tattoo, and you think you should have gotten used to it by now, it never really stops hurting, does it?”
“Nope.”
The pain never really goes away, no matter how many times you’ve been tattooed, no matters how many tattoos you’ve had removed. Things never really get easier in life. Things never really get better. There are some scars even time cannot erase. There are days that hurt, like there were days that hurt, and there will be more painful days to come because it never truly gets better. But Tai is strong, Tai has always been strong, and it will be okay.In which Taiyang Xiao Long, like an idiot, meets the twins and immediately proceeds to get Raven's name tattooed into his back, and heartbreaks and other hijinks ensue.

Summary
“We’ve made a mess,” Clover summarises succinctly, sitting up onto his feet to contemplate the splatters of miscellaneous sauces across the bed sheet lasagna.
“Yes, eating in bed isn’t the cleanest,” James observes, raising a brow that almost touches the silvery metal band atop his forehead.
“I can show you how to eat cleanly,” Qrow retorts, playfully slipping into Clover’s lap.
“Please enlighten us, Professor Branwen,” the headmaster muses.Series

Summary
There is a flicker of light, a fluttering sound. Like a flock of birds, ready to take flight.
Is it a dream? A hallucination? An apparition? Is this what death sounds like?
This can’t be. Death can’t be that painful. Qrow feels pain, therefore he must be alive. There is pain, and that is the only certainty. There is pain through every muscle, every nerve, every bone of his body. His body is no more a concrete construct, it is an abstract amalgamation of reds, blues, and pains. His skin is splattered in pain, his mind is pain, his world is pure pain. All he sees is pain, pain and the distant flickering of light, and the sickly gleam of yellow eyes through the darkness.

Summary
To Clover, James has always been an island amidst the waves, scarred and windswept, carved by the force of the elements, but strong as stone, unbending, unbroken, unbreakable. Clover has witnessed the beauty in being an island, but seldom realises the grace there is in being the ocean, being like the teal waves that ever bend, that ever flow, that sometimes break and sometimes crash into seafoam only to heal and rise again, relentlessly, eternally. Clover just needs Qrow’s bird’s eye view, from the chaotic stormy skies above, to realise that being the ocean is not devoid of beauty.
