The Vytal Festival Tournament was in its last quarterfinal when Cinder Fall decided to enact her scheme in devastating Vale and taking the rest of her power. It paid off, but not for her. As it turns out, Beacon's youngest student had been hiding her true intentions for quite some time. An AU created to switch things up with a few key characters, especially Ruby. I hope you enjoy.

The most influential generations were always the ones filled with great beauty and tragedy. Oz knew that better than anyone, because he had lived through just a generation. He was only lucky he had the best partner in the world watching his back. AU as of Burning the Candle, story focuses on Ozpin's time at Beacon as leader of team OQRS alongside his partner, Summer Rose.

Ozpin gives out a special assignment to all Beacon leaders to design a week long team building exercise. While Jaune attempts to strengthen JNPR's perception through blindfolding, Ruby decides the members of RWBY need to understand each others combat styles through an exchange of equipment. Surely, nothing too valuable will end up breaking, right?

After the catastrophe at the ceremony, Ruby was held back from her expected graduation. Now, thanks to what Gambol took from her, she's just trying to graduate, period. Adorable White Rose which only the setting of Henceforward can provide. All credit goes to for the AU.

Weiss tries to leave Beacon in order to save her father. Her leader is not about to let her go so easily.
