Proof that the remaining 10% is worth dying for.

These are recommendations made by Tropers for RWBY Fan Fics, all of which have been signed. After a few samples, you will be able to judge whether you might be interested in a certain 'fic, based on who recommended it.

Feel free to add a fanfic of your own to the list, but remember to use the template found below. Make sure you sign your recommendation! No-name recommendations may be deleted at other tropers' leisure. Do warn when a fanfic includes sexual situations.[1] Some people just don't like it, and as we all know, Shipping is Serious Business. Likewise, warn if it may head into non-canon territory.

Discussion of the recommendation is welcome on the discussion page. As such discussion is important, do remember to add the discussion page to the watchlist, if need be.

Recommendations Template

Title of the Fanfic by Author OR Fic Trope Page, by Author (Link)

  • Recommended by: Troper Name[2]
  • Synopsis: What's the story about? Give here a brief summary of the plot. It would be also useful to point out in what moment of the series the story takes place. If it's a Gen Fic but it has some romantic elements, note here the characters involved too.
  • Pairing(s): If it's a Shipping Fic, list here the pairings that feature in the fic (warn here if it's het, male slash or female slash). If it's a Gen Fic, remove this line. To tell the difference between the two, notice if the focus of the fic is on a romantic relationship or if it focuses on the other aspects of the story. In case of doubt, classify the story according to the genres it's been tagged: the Romance tag for Shipping, absence of that tag for Gen Fic.
  • Tags: If any are known. This would be things like WAFF, Lemon, Dark Fic, any Trigger Warnings, etc. This is also where you would put character names with Characterization Tags if doing so would be equally indicative. ("uber!Harry" for Harry Potter, for instance.)
  • Comments: If you want to say something more about why you're recommending the fic, but please, keep it brief. We don't want Conversation in the Main Page.

The Games We Play by rgm0005

  • Recommended by: Looney Toons
  • Crossover with: The Gamer
  • Synopsis: One morning, after 14-year-old Jaune Arc is rejected by Signal Academy again, strange things begin to happen: titles and levels suddenly appear above people's heads and menu screens begin to appear in his view, as if he was in a video game. And he has points to spend on his stats and skills... Jaune soon realizes that his life for all practical purposes is a video game, and resolves to win it. And before he knows it, he finds himself hip-deep in the mystery that is the lost past of Remnant, and the reasons the world is the way it is.
  • Comments: The Gamer is an obscure (as of late 2014) Manhua about a young man who suddenly discovers that his very real life now has a classic RPG interface -- and rules that he can exploit. In this very well-written crossover, that young man is Jaune Arc, who finds that possessing the Gamer's Mind and the Gamer's Body might just make possible his greatest dream -- to become a Huntsman like his parents. But soon he discovers he was aiming a bit too low... The Fanfiction.net page for this fic is not (yet) the whole thing, though -- the entire, complete fic can be found at SpaceBattles.com. If you don't mind reading what amounts to first draft-quality material, go here and get it all. Fun, funny, and littered with Crowning Moments of Awesome -- and better yet, the author has promised a sequel, to be called The Lies We Tell.


XCOM: RWBY Within by DrAmishMD

  • Recommended by Msq
  • Crossover with: 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.
