Summary
"Hey, at the very least I made a friend out of it."
Mercury Black, due to a chance meeting, is assigned to get close to Ruby Rose and become a part of her inner circle. It seemed easy enough. The girl was ditsy and trusted easily, and it took him only a couple one on one talks until he was in. What he didn't plan for was actually starting to care for her. With the rest of Team RWBY ready to strike if he breaks the cookie loving huntress's heart and his boss breathing down his neck for intel, Mercury finds himself in an uncomfortable predicament. Stay bad, or turn good? He never thought he would get the choice before, that's for sure.

Summary
AU One-Shot set in Volume 4: Linked to Wilted but not canon to the storyline
Ruby could feel his eyes on her. He could never be seen, but he's always there. She doesn't know if she can keep running, but she knows for sure one thing; she can't hide from the Goddess' Scorpion. Established Quicksilver, unhealthy Stinging Thorns
A slightly different take on how Ruby responds to Tyrian attacking and going through new discoveries. Tyrian's stinger is not cut off, Qrow is not injured. I began writing this before that and I'm too lazy to implement it SO without further ado…

Summary
"Goodbye, Mercury."
Mercury pushes too far. Surrounded by people he once knew, he finally finds redemption. (V5E12 snippet, refers to plot elements in Wilted).
**NOT CANON TO "Wilted." HOWEVER, this story relies on the established relationship Mercury and Ruby have displayed in "Wilted."**

Summary
A literary cemetery where the removed scenes of Wilted lay. Here you'll find means of discovery that never happened, conversations that never graced Wilted's chapters, emotional outbursts that were saved for later moments, and likely a funny scene or two that didn't fit the tone.
Characters will be added as they appear in the scenes. Don't worry about getting spoilers from Wilted with this. These are scenarios that didn't make the final draft, and will never occur in the narrative of Wilted. Just enjoy the what could have beens.
