Author has written 7 stories for RWBY.

I'm not sure if I can be called an author. Before coming to this site, the closest thing I did to writing stories were those written as school assignments and RPG scenarios - a lot of the latter admittedly. Still, I feel almost kind-of confident in my writing skills, so I'll give it a go.

I'm a Polish man, but I far prefer writing in English. Partially because it lets me reach a broader audience, but also because I find it to be a better language overall. Gotta love your country and all, but there is no denying how awful Polish really is.

I have no special like or dislike for any genre, but my favorite works of art would be Mass Effect, RWBY, Red Vs Blue, Fullmetal Alchemist, Watchmen, Planescape Torment, Eclipse Phase, and Metal Gear franchise. I am planning on writing mostly RWBY, as this show is just a gold mine of plots and ships.

Now, if you are actually interested in reading anything of mine, here are a few things you might want to know about my style and such:

- I will gleefully change anything and everything about the characters if it suits my goals. My stories are not about filling holes in canon, making continuations, or doing anything that would require me to keep characters faithful to the original. Every story is set in a universe separate from canon and the characters will act differently than their canon counterparts. Maybe a little differently, maybe very differently - depends on the story.

- I will not write lemons. Ever. I might include sexual elements to the story if it helps the narrative, but even then, I shall obey the guidelines and not post explicit content. Don't see why I would even want to do this. That said...

- My stories can get dark. I find putting the characters through awful situations to be useful from the storytelling standpoint and, truth be told, kind of enjoyable. Character deaths are a fair game and so are many things that could well be considered worse than death - though you don't have to worry I will ever write a rape scene, in case you didn't read the previous paragraph.

- I am awful at being consistent with uploading. Not trying to excuse that, just letting you know.

I have an account on AO3 where I post stuff that wouldn't necessarily be welcome on this site. Name is 'Omeg' - I would use it here too, but I'm pretty sure it's taken.

Also, The New Flame is on indefinite hiatus. I just gound this story hard to write.

The Beast of Beacon by Coeur Al'Aran reviews
Blake had fled, making it clear she couldn't trust him to change. She thought him inhuman, lost, a beast. He was going to prove her wrong. Getting into Beacon was hard enough, but fitting in would be harder still. All those... humans. Will a man fuelled by hate truly be able to let go and move on; or is suffering the only thing Adam Taurus can ever bring to those around him?

Rebellion: The Fallout of the Second Human-Faunus War by Coolheadluke reviews
The violence and brutality of the White Fang provoked a three year war that devastated the faunus. Now enslaved by the victorious humans, faunus are routinely subjected to humiliation and hate. Well, most faunus. Join Velvet as she grows accustomed to her strange new master, Jaune Arc, and joins in his shadow war against the standing social order. M for themes, not graphic violence

Just Like Him by Psyga315 reviews
It was a few moments after they had just left Argus. Despite the victory they had, most of them felt terrible that it may come at the price of Argus. Though it's Blake and Jaune who felt incredibly horrible as they recall their actions and feel as though they've become the people they hated most, all while those closest to them try to help them cope with the events that transpired.

The Failure of Haven by Psyga315 reviews
"How it is you failed so spectacularly?" Salem asked her group. It was perhaps the one awkward question that they feared answering. They all knew the answer, or so they thought.

Not this time, Fate by Coeur Al'Aran reviews
When Jaune woke up back in his house with his sisters and family, all he could do was sigh. Every time he died he was forced to start over again, and this was what... the one thousandth time? More? If it doesn't matter how hard he tries, doesn't matter how much he fights. Then maybe it's time to just kick back and enjoy himself. Fate can find someone else to be its whipping boy.

Professor Arc by Coeur Al'Aran reviews
He didn't know the first thing about teaching, Hell, he didn't even know the first thing about fighting! A shame then, that his forged documents painted the picture of an accomplished and skilled warrior. Now he's trapped teaching students his own age how to be hunters, when he doesn't even know himself!

Stress Relief by Coeur Al'Aran reviews
In a world where your allies can be just as dangerous as your enemies, sometimes it can be difficult for a criminal mastermind to find a little stress relief. That blonde idiot, Jaune, was just unimportant enough, just malleable enough, to be a viable option. It was meant to be a one time thing, an easy lay. Emotions were never supposed to get involved.

Lost and Blind reviews

Black Out The Sky reviews
It is almost funny how one person's decisions can change the fate of the world they live in, either for better, or for so much worse. In this timeline, there was never a team called RWBY. The heroes were not strong enough to repel the forces of darkness. White Fang was free to bring Remnant to its knees... and then remake it in their own image.

Remnant is a dark place, where the strong prey upon the weak and hope is in short supply. Cinder has seen the worst of this grim world and is resolved to change it for better. Her enemies are numerous and powerful, but with a little luck, she can find herself equally powerful allies... even if she has to look in the strangest of places.
