Ruby is a totally different personality type from Pyrrha and I don't think she's hesiate to stamp all over Jaune's self image very quickly if she thought he needed her help. Pyrrha is doing this the kind, gentle and slow way. Ruby, as we saw in Forever Fall, is the sort of person who'll bluntly tell a subordinate that they need to suck it up and get over themselves. She's supportive but she doesn't baby people.

There is the obvious and funny secondary plot thread of Pyrrha arriving to find Weiss watching Ruby drag a protesting Jaune away; the two end up as the other pair. Something tells me that Weiss's arrogance and ambition would soon have them arguing just as badly as Ruby and Weiss ever did.

I think this would lead to a lot more extrovert Ruby and a Jaune who is probably got the basic skills now but is a lot less certain of himself because of the way Ruby's strong personality would dominate him. First of all: Pyrrha babying Jaune would most likely drive Jaune further away from her. I get the feeling that Jaune does hate feeling overlooked and Pyrrha doing what she's doing right now will not be good for the ship.

Second: I second this fanfic. I can only write humor, I could try but I will most likely suck at that.

Third: I still think that this fanfic would feature some shipping with Jaune and Ruby. Gut feeling here
