Hello everybody!

Today, I'm here to talk about the RWBY fanfictions. No, not those that incite a shipping war, or the kind that make your heart rate skip the further you read.

See, in every piece of media produced, there is always a piece of fanfiction. There are those that are poems, there are those that are poorly written (with Mary Sue/Gary Stu OCs overshadowing the canon characters), comedies with pop culture references, romance fiction, hurt and comfort fics that last a few chapters, based on the author's favorite ship.

And every once in a while, there are masterpieces, diamonds in the rough that require extensive knowledge of the show, its universe and its characters. I found such a gem last week, when I got hooked on this:

Ladies and gentlemen, I introduce to you Bad For Business, an AU fic where Roman and Neo are the protags, currently covering roughly the second half of Volume 1. They have to face Junior, Cinder and the White Fang, and the Hunters.

This story may be one of the best RWBY fanfics I have read thus far, because this author has captured the personality and the dialogue of the characters, and heavily describes the fight sequences with precise vocabulary, painting a picture of an action sequence in my head with mouth-watering capabilities. Combine that with a snarky yet fluid narration, alongside a recreation of canon events but with changes to address their flaws, and I'd say this author gives Miles and Kerry a run for their money in the past two volumes.

I hope you'd give this a try. If not, what are your favorite RWBY fanfics?

Thoughts?

P.S. BTW, the author updates rather frequently. 2 days to a week on average.
