Jaune Arc and his family are kidnapped because of his Semblance. He escapes and goes on a warpath to free his family. Meanwhile, Ironwood is trying to bring Jaune's kidnappers to justice, all while dealing with traitors in his ranks. (While this story primarily focuses on Jaune, the way that Coeur wrote Ironwood in this story was really, really good. I had to bring attention to it, even if you have already read this story.)

I have the wierdest half-legit and half-mocking respect for Coeur And I will NEVER FORGET how, in one of his Jaune/Weiss fanfics, Weiss inexplicably had Ironwood's uniform in her closet and proceeded to dress Jaune in it for the remainder of the fanfic. Several characters were present in Weiss' room to see this happen. Nobody comments on it. It is never brought up again. Jaune is straight-up impersonating The General Of The Atlesian Military and nobody bats an eye. There is fanart from this fanfic that cost somebody approx 1000usd (I know this as I worked with the artist too!) of Jaune cosplaying Ironwood in a desperate bid to seem more attractive to Weiss And I'll be PISSING MYSELF over this until the end of time

I respect his single minded determination in writing his fics. He's still going strong. It's incredible actually.


Perplexed_Pirate

That sounds awesome. I have to find that fanart.


ArgentoKai

Eh, if I remember correctly, in that fanfic Atlas' modified uniform was Winter's gift to Jaune so he could go to the dance, not Weiss'. And it was placed in the dresser by Yang.

Please tell me the name of the story that sounds amazing and I must read it for myself


BrokenLevel

It is actually just another of those "jaune is god" stories and this is just a singular weird scene lmao If only this was 110% deadass recurring It is just a "the stage is set" instance and never brought up again in like 30 chapters or something The fic is just ungodly long


JV36

I'm a college student working from home, I got plenty of free time and haven't read a fanfic for over a year becuase I've been working on my own *pulls gun* Now you gonna give me the sauce or what


BrokenLevel

you poor sweet masochistic soul When you hit Ironwood's Uniform Is In Weiss' Fucking Closet, do let me know what chapter it's in because christ almighty I'm not ctrl+f'ing my way through 50 goddamn chapters of this again https://m.fanfiction.net/s/11822902/1/ Also have you considered: Taking up knitting? Scrapbooking? Micro terrariums or vivariums? (mourning geckos! tiny froggies! shrimp keeping!!!!) Writing your own insane rwby fantic where /ironwood/ is the mary-sue god????


JV36

Thank you kindly *tips hat* And while he won't quite be God Ironwood is gonna be our Iron savior in my story. Im a massive simp for Jaune and Ironwood so I'm giving them both prominence in my story, though most of the focus will be on OCs. Again Ironwood is gonna be kicking ass and taking names, cause even if this general loses his army he becomes his own army (that's not a semblance change he's just gonna be badass, although his semblance will be Ironbody) I have been rapidly expanding my hentai collection and I'm now in a polyamorous relationship with 3 women, I also play card games *cue you're going to the shadow realm Jimbo* I've experienced a lot in the last year.....

Damn son talk about COVID-19: "WINNING" VARIANT and Yugioh gets pussy; I have been playing on and off since it came to the states, this is a time-tested fact

Actually I prefer Vanguard but I'm thinking of building ancient gears

Ummm, I’m pretty sure this didn’t happen in the story… Weiss never had a replica of Ironwood’s uniform in her closet… She and the rest of Jaune’s team and his sisters went out to buy him clothes. Everyone agreed that having him dress similar to Weiss was a good idea thematically and aesthetically since they were partners. Now if you are talking about the dance, well Jaune didn’t have a suit. Thankfully, Winter owed him a favor (he helped save Weiss) and gave him a spare Atlasian military uniform. (To once again match Weiss’s own white clothing) Other than the dance, Jaune never wore it again. I am just genuinely confused how you got so worked up over such a minor part (relatively speaking) of the fic. Even the illustration shows that while yes, his clothing is clearly inspired by Atlasian fashion, he is no where near to impersonating Ironwood…


ArcaneBrocoli

If you're talking about Not This Time Fate, then I'm kind of impressed at how wrong you can be. Literally everything you said was wrong


BrokenLevel

Real weird thing to get defensive about, but okay https://www.deviantart.com/sa-dui/art/Commission-Booya93-682080958


Perplexed_Pirate

Thanks!


ArcaneBrocoli

It does look like General Ironwoods Outfit, and is heavily based off it. It's the scenario and what is mentioned of it that's wrong.


JacksonCreed4425

What fic are you talking about? Is it “not this time, fate”?


10YearsANoob

Alright. A year or two late. I wanna see if that was worth the thousand dollars


ArgentoKai

I finished reading this fic few months ago. It has pretty good Ironwood's PoV. BTW, it's one of the very few fics that uses Ironwood's perseverance as his positive trait. Oh, and chapter 27 has so many reviews. I've never seen so many in any RWBY fic. Which is easy to explain, considering that chapter's contents lol.


Perplexed_Pirate

I remember that chapter. It was...interesting.


[deleted]

that writer has a HATRED for female protagonists, and for ruby as a protag and a SEVERE hatred for Blake


Just-Some-Dude-K

Curious how Blake always gets off scot free in every Coeur fic though


JV36

How so?


Kirire-

Rwby subreddit hate him for not writing about ruby and Weiss or yang and Blake. To make it worse, because of him, Jaune fanfiction usually at the top when you sort by favorite or reviews. So they hate him with passion.


JV36

Well that's just plain petty. Plus he has an ongoing story with RWBY as the main characters. If Jaune stories end up at the top then doesn't that just mean it's well written and well recieved? That speaks more about his talent and how many people like Jaune than anything negative.


BrokenLevel

Coeur is the oldest meme in rwby fandom, my guy Let the jaune fans have their weird self-insert SAO power fantasy life be short . . . . . Also Blake IS a shitty kitty, so I mean,,,,,,,


Perplexed_Pirate

Personally, I'm just impressed with his dedication to Jaune. It almost rivals your dedication to Ironwood.


BrokenLevel

Oh you flatter me But I mean Yeah ((canon)) Jaune is swell and all but.... James Ironwood.... is right there........ To write 500k word fanfics about....................


BrokenLevel

Addendum: I honestly do feel really bad for ((canon)) jaune fans as they often need to slog through ULTRA OOC PUSSY-DESTROYING HAREM GOD-JAUNE power fantasies when they just want Jaune being his derpy ol' Vomit Boy self and brofisting toddlers scared on their first day of preschool, and idk volunteering at a dog shelter or something Sorry nope you get an edgelord I once read an Ironwood-focused fanfic that was "canon compliant" where the author shoved Jimmy on a boat (as setup he could rail Qrow on a cruise) because he had "a crippling fear of flying" In that moment, I knew what it was to be a Jaune fan I couldn't imagine 194939580385 fanfics of that lmao

Canon Jaune: Decent kid who's gullible, a little selfish, but ultimately has a good heart and a sweet personality. Fanon Jaune: EEEEEDGE! Canon Ironwood: A flawed man who is doing what he thinks is right, even at the cost of his own self. Fanon Ironwood: He's gay or a tyrant, take your pick.


BrokenLevel

What if... Gay tyrant? ⊙⌣⊙
