I raise you Soulbound. a very enjoyable read, despite the fact that the first four chapters are at least half or more a retelling of the actual cannon. It's come more and more into it's own plot over time, but still succeeds entirely because it's well written and shows us some really good characterisation and interaction.

on that note, the author in question never seems to shy away from inventing bits of backstory the cannon didn't show. Nora's father is mentioned at one point, for instance. Another of his stories, Grimnspawn, infamously wrote the past for Blake as a faunus imediately before Episode 15 confirmed half of what he wrote, and disproved the other half. The fact that it's still a success proves a point.
