I love it. I can't wait to see how this all plays out.

Hey look, an injured Qrow. I just love whenever a little thing like that matches up with canon.
I also love how you have him consistently refer to Ironwood as "Jimmy." It's just such an in-character bit of irreverence.

Wow, you even mentioned bad luck finding someone near Qrow. Nice unintentional Semblance reference!

Huh, so I guess the raven last chapter wasn't Qrow. Well, you did write this before we knew he could transform like that.

"Next chapter will feature Qrow," you say, like he wasn't already in this one.

Having not seen the movie, I am excited to see where this story will lead. I have one comment though: in a few places, I find the phrase "eyes winded"; do you mean "eyes widened"?

I absolutely love the chapters you have wrote up to now! You use such good grammar and punctuation it's beautiful and easy to read. I really can't wait for the next chapter! I also love how you incorporate so many different RWBY characters into each chapter, it makes me believe they could actually be this character in another universe of RWBY. Lastly, I absolutely love the Qrow and Winter moments! You make their relationship build slowly but memorable! Keep up the good work! :D

Aha! I've been meaning to say leave something here, but I've been particularly busy. But now that I've found the time to actually say something, I find it a little hard since I've never actually seen the movie this is based off of. I don't quite fully understand the context that some of the events occurs under. And I think that's okay. I think it's fine to base a story around a movie you've come to love.

One challenge that I feel like I'm seeing, though, is that when you're trying to write a lot of times it feels like you're generalizing or otherwise not going as deep into the character as you can. I feel like I'm being told a series of events as opposed to being shown something and letting me feel the same feelings as the character. I think this might be a product of basing this from a movie - it takes far longer to read about a scene than it is to watch it. But at the same time, unless there is amazing framing or art direction during a scene, it becomes a little easy to miss out on the subtleties of the character.

Now that doesn't meant that you should never generalize or tell. You're going to have to at times. But I think one thing that might really help is to slow down a little and try to dive into the mind of the character. So I'm going to try to challenge you to do two things in your next chapter (if you're up for it - it might be a bit work intensive and it might not come off right the first few times, but I guarantee that you'll like how it works out in the end as you keep working at it).

1) Think about how your reader is going to interpret your writing and how you want them to interpret it. "I want them to see this facet - is it visible?" Every word and sentence you write is put there for a reason. You're either indicating an event or showing how a character interprets a situation.

2) Try to go deeper. Go into what the character is feeling now, what lead up to those feelings, their reasoning. Show that reasoning and get the reader to relate to the character in some sense.

Using the opening of Chp 2 of Countess Dracula for example - Qrow is frustrated, among many other negative emotions. This is the image you want the reader to pick up. Why is he frustrated? He's eager to finally meet that woman again, and he feels like he's been driven mad by not knowing who that woman was. But he's unable to know more until she comes again - he has resigned to the fact that he has to wait upon her, but it doesn't make the wait any less bearable. What has he done to try to alleviate the frustration? He keeps telling himself that by the end of the month he'll see her again and get to figure out all his questions and move on. And yet he knows this is all crazy - he's putting so much at risk just to try and see her again.

But because he runs into Weiss instead of Winter, this throws everything on its head. In his mind Winter would solve everything. Weiss provides nothing. And this shows in his line to her. But the reason why this moment feels so poignant to the reader is because it builds up Qrow's thoughts and feelings and you see just how utterly crushed he is by it not being Winter. He's shaking with rage when he first speaks with Weiss, and the reader can feel it in his brusqueness and how he speaks. Only when she states why Winter could not be there that night does he begin to cool down.

But what's so great about reading this is that the reader picks up that Qrow is angry and they feel it - he spent a whole month waiting, had to brush off worried family members, is endangering the village, only to not get what he wants, and he is very unhappy. And because you clearly showed what he has done, the reader relates to his anger and takes it in. It moves them. Finally, the part states that Qrow is angry, frustrated, and disappointed. But this is just restating what the reader is already feeling. Icing on the cake.

Anyway, hopefully this doesn't come off as critical. Like I said, this is just something I'd like to see you try. Your fic is enjoyable since it's simple and easy to follow - not every moment has to be complex. But I know that your characters are going to come alive more once you start exploring these thoughts and emotions. And maybe you're already planning to do this, which is great.

Good luck out there, and I look forward to more!

I normally do not like Snow White stories, but I will make this an exception since I like how this blended.

I loved it so much! I squealed when Velvet and Blake turned up and I am so proud of winter helping Velvet.

Qrow though! Giving up his chance of riches. Sweetie and the "That's not the buzz I am used to..." lol .

At times Winter and Qrow remind me of a more refined and alternate fantasy Han and Leia.
