[https://www.fanfiction.net/u/6272865/Coeur-Al-Aran The Works of Coeur Al'Aran]
* Recommended by: [[User:Looney Toons|Looney Toons]]
* As of this writing, Coeur Al'Aran is the author of 25 ''RWBY'' fics, some of which are listed below. A talented writer who actually releases on a set schedule and has completed most of his fics -- no [[Dead Fic]]s here. He is expert at taking an interesting idea -- Jaune opens a coffee shop instead of attending Beacon, ''RWBY'' set in an [[RPG Mechanics Verse]], a dying Salem gives Jaune a [[Peggy Sue]] after Ozpin's Pyrrhic victory just to name three -- and spin them into enthralling, absorbing epics that keep you coming back for more. Five stars, would read again.

Line 35 ⟶ 38:
* ''Synopsis:'' A pair of short, unrelated crackfics centered around Cinder Fall at Beacon during Volume 2.
* ''Comments:'' Some of the earliest ''[[RWBY]]'' fic to appear, these two stories are howlingly funny. It's a shame the author never wrote more, as the ff.net description suggested was going to be the case.
''[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12044591/1/Forged-Destiny Forged Destiny]'' by Coeur Al'Aran
* Recommended by: [[User:Looney Toons|Looney Toons]]
* ''Synopsis:'' In a version of Remnant that runs by the rules of a video game, where one's name and class appear over one's head for all to see, young Blacksmith Jaune Arc longs to be something other than what fate has decreed for him -- he wants to be a hero. When he finds a strange amulet that ''changes what is displayed as his class'', he takes the chance and heads to Beacon Academy for Heroes, and finds himself in the midst of a conflict that may plunge the world into war -- or worse.
* ''Comments:'' A well-written, complex and thoroughly thought-out exploration of what it would be like to live in [[RPG Mechanics Verse]], especially if you were an [[NPC]] (which here is a derogatory nickname used by heroes -- the abbreviation of "Needs Protecting Caste"). If I had one quibble with this otherwise excellent story is that it really doesn't need to be a ''RWBY'' fanfic. The setting is already sufficiently different that you could change all the names and publish it as an entirely original work.
''[[Service with a Smile]]'' by Coeur Al'Aran ([https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12606073/1/Service-with-a-Smile Fanfiction.net link])
* Recommended by: [[User:Looney Toons|Looney Toons]]
* ''Synopsis:'' When Jaune Arc fails to get into Beacon Academy, he decides to take his tuition money and open a coffee shop/diner as an alternative to returning home in shame. To his surprise, "Jaune's" becomes popular with not only the people in the neighborhood, but with Beacon students ''and'' the criminal underworld. Jaune makes friends among all three groups, and even a finds a girlfriend among the staff of Junior's bar, and of a necessity, his shop becomes something of a neutral ground. And despite all manner of trouble, ranging from competition from a major Starbucks-like chain to Grimm attacks, Jaune's continues to survive and prosper. But when Jaune learns of and tries to avert the impending fall of Beacon, will he succeed, or just be another victim of Cinder's plans?
* ''Paring(s):'' Jaune/Miltia(/Pyrrha?), Ruby/Mercury (teased)
* ''Comments:'' Another well-written ''RWBY'' fic by Couer Al'Aran, centered on a very not-badass Jaune Arc who nonetheless manages to have an amazing impact on the world around him. From Ruby the night before his opening day to the customer who appears in the final moments of the fic, Jaune encounters and influences (both intentionally and not) many of the movers and shakers of Remnant, and the course of events changes thereby. And all through it Jaune does what he's best at -- making a good cup of coffee especially for the particular customer, then talking ''and'' listening to them. And wherever possible, doing his best to help.
== Crossover Fics ==
''Stories which crossover with other characters or works.''
''[[The Games We Play (RWBY fanfic)|The Games We Play]]'' by rgm0005 ([https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10571622/1/The-Games-We-Play
* Recommended by: [[User:Looney Toons|Looney Toons]]
* ''Crossover with:'' ''[[The Gamer]]''
Line 50 ⟶ 66:
* ''Crossover with:'' ''[[X-COM|XCOM: Enemy Unknown/Enemy Within]]'' with elements of the ''Long War'' [[Game Mod]]
* ''Synopsis'': A strange anomaly causes the members of Team RWBY to find themselves in the midst of Earth's full-scale alien invasion with no way of returning to Remnant.
* ''Comments'': A nicely-written fic that manages to justify the crossover between the two universes very well while incorporating ''XCOM's'' notorious difficulty and [[Anyone Can Die]] tendencies.
''[https://forums.spacebattles.com/threads/princess-worm-rwby.761227/ Princess]'' by RavensDagger
* Recommended by: [[User:Looney Toons|Looney Toons]]
* ''Crossover with:'' ''[[Worm]]''
* ''Synopsis:'' A dying Taylor arrives, amnesiac, in the Grimmlands, where Salem finds her and takes her in because she is "interesting". Giving her the name "Akelarre", Salem comes to regard her like a daughter (and Taylor/Akelarre returns the feeling). Eventually she grows strong and confident enough to venture out of the Grimmlands and into the human nations... where she meets some familiar faces, makes some friends (and some not-friends), gets involved in events starting with the "Red" trailer, and eventually makes her way to Haven and Beacon Academy.
* ''Pairing(s):'' Akelarre/Neo/Ruby/Velvet. No, really.
* ''Tags:'' Surprisingly [[WAFF]] at times.
* ''Comments:'' Well done, often funny crossover.
