What are your RWBY Fanfiction Ideas?
As the title says, I'm curious if you have any fanfic ideas that you'd like to share. It doesn't have to be full ideas but something you'd just would like to get out.
I'll start, but be aware I mostly write Ruby focused crossover fics so most of my ideas don't involve the rest of WBY:
Idea 1: Ruby Rose as...
The idea is a dumb one I thought of when I was watching those mountain climbing gone wrong videos on YouTube and thought "What if Ruby trained to be a sherpa?" The idea eventually evolved into a version where Ruby Rose rejects Ozpin because Signal offers a specialization event where young wannabe Huntsman and Huntresses learn specific skills either for your standard Huntsman training, Scouting in Grimm infested areas, and all the stuff that'd be behind the scenes that most Huntsmen and Huntresses don't think of but might us.
Idea 2: Hell's Rose (Name in progress)
A Hell's Paradise: Jigokuraku & RWBY crossover. This one sends a young Ruby Rose hurtling into Japan, some time in the mid 1800's, a time when the Sakoku/Japanese Isolation was still occurring. Being a foriegner and unable to speak the language (Something that get's solved via shenanigans I'm not 100% on yet) leads to Ruby being arrested and under threat of death gets involved in the expedition to Shinsenkyo.
Idea 3: (Name real in progress, but I'm most proud of this one!)
Now a bit about me, I like using the tag Grimm Invasion in Ao3, basically Remnant and this other world are still separate but due to portals or something the worlds are connected. This is one of them, a RWBY x Ouran High School Host Club fanfic where Yuzuru Suoh (Tamaki's father), during a busniess trip in Vale and a stop at a local store, gets involved in a robbery by nefarious thief Roman Torchwick. Lucky for him he gets saved by a young Huntress-In-Training, Ruby Rose. A fight happens, Roman gets away, but a thankful man offers his savior an opportunity of a lifetime, to become Ouron Academy's honored Remnant Select, a similar station to being a honor student where you earn you way in through merit, with the added bonus of various benefits that a young lady like Ruby couldn't imagine to afford, and to sweeten the deal (and for plot convenience) she is offered a special extra allowance to keep their new honor student safe from anyone who may try and think they can extort her for money.
Of course through Host Club shenanigans Haruhi dresses as a guy and because Ruby refuses to wear the girl's uniform also ends up dressing as a guy, though probably still be open about being a girl, be more towards those who was to "spice things up," aka Ruby becomes the girl crush to a bunch of rich girls (probably guys).
I know, I'm rattling on for this one, but I really like it, especially because I can think of a plot where people, probably with Tamaki hitting the nail in a coffin/the straw that breaks the camel's back, saying a lot of rude unintentionally rude things about Remnant and Ruby. "She's not just a commoner but she has to fight for her survival!" "Wow, I didn't expect someone from Remnant to have such good manners with how often they're fighting!" "If someone so cute can be a Huntress, maybe those Grimm aren't so bad."
Idk why, but I just find it fascinating the idea of Ruby being annoyed and peeved off at people not taking something she and generations of Huntsmen and Huntresses have put their lives on the line for and either trivializing it or Remnant if full of a bunch of brutes without a culture beyond hit and kill monsters.
Okay, those were my ideas! What're yours?
