    Summary

    What if Ruby Rose didn’t grow up in a loving home—but in the shadow of grief and neglect after Summer’s death?

    Alone and adrift at Beacon, Ruby struggles to find her place among peers who reject her. With no support system and no one to lean on, her once-bright ideals begin to dim. Desperate for connection, she’s drawn toward those who offer belonging—but at a cost.

    Will Ruby abandon her purpose in pursuit of the camaraderie she’s always craved?

    Will she trade her values for validation—and if so, who will she become?

    A story of isolation, identity, and the dangerous allure of acceptance.

    Summary

    Jaune was asleep, Blake and Yang were gone for a walk, leaving Ruby and Weiss alone to themselves. Ruby wasn't acting like she usually was. Where had her smile gone? Where had Weiss's smile gone along with it? Was there a way to fix things? Probably not with a impromptu make out session but it was what ended up happening.

    Or: Ruby and Weiss are sad so they make out while trying to avoid their feelings.

    Summary

    “I saw her,” Ruby chokes on a wet sob, her chest stuttering against Weiss’. “I-I saw her, in the Ever After. I saw—the Blacksmith, she—”
    Weiss coos under her breath, running her fingers through Ruby’s hair, dragging her nails against her scalp. There’s sand in her hair, gritty and definitely getting all over Weiss’ bed.

    Another harsh sob tears its way out of Ruby’s throat, painful and desperate.

    “I want my mom—” she manages.

    I can't stop thinking about Ruby's mental health and how much the people around her love her anyway. I love these characters to pieces

    Summary

    They did it. They escaped the Everafter and made it to Vacuo.
    Now they have to face the problems they left behind along with the ones brought from their unplanned detour.
    Ruby might have found enough hope to press on between the boughs of The Tree, but keeping it going is another story. She still needs to open up and fix her relationship with her friends. And herself.

    Turns out healing isn't a linear process and breaking the walls you've built around yourself isn't that easy. Good thing Yang's up for some breaking!

    As her maid heals and grows closer Ruby brings more and more warmth into her life.
