Oh goody, a fanfic recommendation thread…time to throw my credibility out the window…unless I can make a really good start that may excuse me for some of my choices later…or rec things other people are requesting…BRILLIANT.

And if anyone plans on telling me a RWBY fanfic, make sure it's:

-Interesting and original. For that matter, no OCs either as those are the most unoriginal shit I've seen.

-Not a shipfic, unless it's BlakexRen (I've found 0 of those) or BlakexJaune.

-Actually good.

-Well written and has good grammar. I'm not reading anything that is written likethis, or tHiZ. I’ll second everything Diego mentioned, especially Faunus in heat, great writing style and some of the best characterization I’ve seen on the site.

I’d also add to that:

-Zodiac, an AU where Beacon is an all faunus school and the still very human Jaune faked his way in and is trying to masquerade as a…I think it was a possum. Features heavily changed rules that place the Faunus as the top dogs, a more blunt humor style…and an increasingly dark undertone that get’s more jarring with every odd chapter…oh and Blake and Jaune friendship.

-One Good Turn Deserves Another, Blake/Jaune story that takes the time to get the two to interact more. Well paced and takes the dangers of the shows universe seriously while making sure not to stray off canon.

-Professor Arc, a humor AU where Jaunes (fake)transcripts where so good it gave him a spot as a teacher’s assistant…shenanigans and Jaune misery ensue.

-Auburn, or if RWBY was T rated, alternate canon that partners Jaune with Blake into a more brutal initiation. Good action sequences, great character interaction, and has Yang trying to make out with Pyrrha (that last part may or may not be a hyperbole)
