Destinies of Remnant is a RWBY fanfic by SolidSocialistShiba, a member of the duo TeaWithNyarlathotep. The premise is a set of eight What If? stories, each completely confined to their chapter.The first chapter, The Wolves and the Soulless, has the deviation occur in "Heroes And Monsters," in which Roman Torchwick survives the Battle of Beacon, changing the course of Remnant history.The second chapter, It's Your Blood That's Red Like Roses, has the deviation occur in "Tipping Point," where Ruby Rose and Tyrian Callows both die in the fight between the two factions, leaving Jaune Arc to pick up the pieces while Cinder Fall hunts the late Ruby's teammates.The third chapter, I'm Not Your Sacrifice, has the deviation occur at an unspecified point in Volume 3, focusing on Pyrrha Nikos after she ran away from her duty of being the Fall Maiden and settled in a small town being harassed by the SDC.The fourth chapter, Be Glad You Existed, is merely summarized with the words "It's time." The deviation is that Rhodes saved Cinder as a child, leading to her becoming a skilled Huntress and one of Ozpin's inner circle.The fifth chapter, Exposed to the Sun, focuses on a rule change in PVP, preventing Pyrrha from fighting Penny at all, leaving things ambiguous as to what exactly happened to cause this deviation. It turns out that Mercury and Emerald pulled a Heel–Face Turn after feeling Cinder had gone too far.The sixth chapter, This World Will Have No Peace features a version of Adam Taurus who missed one of the humans back in his character short, letting Ghira Belladonna die and putting Adam on a very different path to vengeance.The seventh chapter, They'll Eat Each Other Whole, is the fic's Halloween Episode, focused on a version of Remnant where vampires are the main threat rather than Grimm, and the protagonists having to deal with a mysterious special vampire calling themself "Count Crimson."The eighth and final chapter, You Will (Not) Prevail, has its summary simply open with lyrics from the show's "Divide." The deviation is that, in this timeline, Salem was the one who died; the end result is Ozma turning into the greatest villain Remnant ever came to know.In January 2022, the first chapter of a sequel anthology, Paths of Remnant, was published. Chapter One, "Even Brilliant Lights," centers its scenario on the idea of speculating what would happen if Glynda never came to save Ruby in the show's first episode. This leads to Ruby being recruited by Roman. Its second chapter, "What A Sweet Release," focuses on the scenario of Neopolitan killing Cinder Fall and making a Heel–Face Turn. Its third chapter, "Born Indicted," is a Spared by the Adaptation story focused around Sienna Khan surviving Adam's attempted coup. Its fourth and final chapter focuses on Ruby being hunted by Tyrian Callows.In February 2022, the first chapter of a spinoff entitled The Black Knight was posted. This spinoff is a prequel set before the events of "I'm Not Your Sacrifice," focusing on the chapter's Arc Villain. Tropes for The Black Knight can go in its own folder. Due to its premise being a Late-Arrival Spoiler, spoilers for "I'm Not Your Sacrifice" will be unmarked.In March 2022, the first chapter of another spinoff, Winter Vacation, was published. This spinoff focuses on the Adam Taurus from "This World Will Have No Peace" as Team RWBY takes a vacation in the Schnee family mansion. Similarly to The Black Knight, spoilers for its preceding chapter will go unmarked.In August 2023, a third spinoff, Fallen Petals, saw its first chapter published. The story continues from the events of "Even Brilliant Lights," centering Ruby's attempt to build a new life for herself and Neo in Mistral. Spoilers for its preceding chapter will go unmarked.

Dirty Coward
 Destinies of Remnant (Fanfic) / int_1235f055
comment
Dirty Coward: Downplayed Trope with Adam. While he's not outright cowardly and actually proves to still be a capable warrior willing to fight dozens of people, Neo's illusion of Blake sends him running scared and leads Neo and Ruby to the White Fang's base in Mistral. This continues to be a recurring theme, as Adam proves to utterly hate the idea that he's a coward— when Lionheart rightly calls him out as a Control Freak whose deepest fear is not being able to determine what others think of him, he nearly snaps and kills the headmaster right there.

Anyone Can Die: Thanks to the alternate timeline, readers can't expect everyone to make it out of any given story. So far, between the first two timelines presented, casualties include Ruby herself, Tyrian, Cinder, Watts, Sienna Khan, Adam, and Qrow.

Card-Carrying Villain
 Destinies of Remnant (Fanfic) / int_137f2d7
comment
Card-Carrying Villain: A discussed and ultimately deconstructed trope. Ruby and Cinder have no hesitation in declaring themselves to be villains for what they do, but being a self-proclaimed "villain" is actually miserable and leaves them with nowhere to go when people who aren't willing to serve open, theatrical criminals come along, most notably Yang, who will never work with Ruby.

 Destinies of Remnant (Fanfic) / int_14beeefd
comment
Darker and Edgier: The first chapter is essentially a fun romp similar to the show's earlier seasons, greatly focused on Roman and his alliance with Team RWBY, with the team banding together. The only named casualties are Sienna Khan and Adam Taurus— both villains, though the former is a more sympathetic villain. The second chapter opens with Ruby herself dying and has a much more brutal and depressing tone, focused on Jaune's internal struggles, and racks up a much higher bodycount of named characters even beyond Ruby, including Tyrian, Watts, Qrow, and Cinder. The third chapter focuses on Pyrrha's Refusal of the Call, and has an almost horror-esque tone in its second half, with Pyrrha showing down against one enemy— a corrupted Jaune Arc, who she kills. Aside from some quick flashes of humor, it's a dark chapter through and through. The sixth chapter, despite not being especially grim in terms of casualties, is also much darker in tone and slower in pace, since it's following a version of Adam Taurus in a revenge quest. It delves into topics of slavery, prejudice, and revenge; not to mention mental illness and trauma are central themes. The eighth chapter is easily the darkest, focusing on Ozpin potentially being Driven to Suicide as its main conflict, examining the dark history of a potentially evil Ozma, and carrying themes of fate, free will, and self-destruction. That said, this chapter has a happier ending compared to many; Ozpin firmly decides to choose the side of good for once, and to try and fix what he's destroyed. Chapter One of Paths follows these up with what is essentially a darker twist on the opening chapter of Destinies. Once again, it's focused on a Villain Protagonist with Roman in the spotlight; however, unlike the Bittersweet Ending which leaned to the "sweet" side in "The Wolves and the Soulless," "Every Brilliant Light" instead displays corruption of the worst sort, most notably happening to Ruby herself. "Born Indicted" is a frank and often grim take on the question of "Is violence necessary to achieve peace?" It never answers it outright, but the atmosphere is dark and the conflict, even among the protagonists, is heavy. The ending is also the strongest cliffhanger in the fic, as it asks "can peace be successful if it's based on a lie", with Sun and Ilia both arguing different sides and Blake not knowing what to do. "Small And Helpless" proves easily the darkest story in either fic. An outright horror story focusing on Ruby being hunted down by Tyrian, it pulls no punches in its depiction of Tyrian's pure, uncompromising evil, pettiness, and brutality, with every attempt made to make the character and story outright skin-crawling.

Does This Remind You of Anything?
 Destinies of Remnant (Fanfic) / int_14ed6ab7
comment
Does This Remind You of Anything?: "Small and Helpless" has Tyrian Callows stalking a young Ruby Rose, trying to hunt her down for his own interests, and pinning her to a wall and pinching her cheek once he catches her, later even stating his intent to "devour" her. While he just wants to kill her, his interactions with Ruby have something of a predatory undertone.

Hero Antagonist: Winter takes this role, being Adam's foil and searching for evidence against him. They kick off the main plot, and while they're not above cheap verbal shots or dirty work, they're also clearly established as having more moral scruples than Adam.

Evil Versus Evil: Ruby Rose is a crime lord who has no hesitation working in drug smuggling and allying with terrorists. Cinder Fall is a former minion of Salem with no reluctance to hurt innocent people and bring kingdoms down. Their factions oppose each other, and Cinder also works against the much more sadistic Tyrian and Watts, having lured them in deliberately for a chance to kill them.

Genre Shift
 Destinies of Remnant (Fanfic) / int_177a6464
comment
Genre Shift: The third chapter is a Pyrrha-focused chapter that initially plays out more like an old-school Shane-style western (with elements of horror) than a typical RWBY-style story. Then it transitions into straight horror as the corrupted Jaune hunts her down and fights her. The sixth chapter is very much an intense drama or revenge thriller moreso than a fantasy story. While it still focuses on Remnant and still features its fantastical elements, the adventures are eschewed in favor of a focus on Adam's vendetta against Jacques, his way of handling it, and the consequences. "Small And Helpless" is a horror chapter in an otherwise action-laden dramatic collection (Paths). In it, Ruby is an untrained teenage girl running from the Ax-Crazy Tyrian Callows, who pursues her everywhere she goes in the aim of killing her. Many of the situations trap her Alone with the Psycho, and any character who gets in Tyrian's path soon finds themselves in grave danger.

The Worf Effect
 Destinies of Remnant (Fanfic) / int_178ca149
comment
The Worf Effect: Certain characters are more easily defeated to give others a chance to shine. Note that this remains inconsistent; characters don't completely fluctuate in power levels, but they do often take hasty defeats for plot purposes. Adam Taurus tends to receive this the worst, being a highly recurring villain. In Chapter One alone, Adam goes down from one punch from Yang, though he'd been fighting for a bit by that point. In Chapter Four, Watts mentions killing Tyrian offscreen in the narration. In "Small And Helpless," Tyrian pays him back by murdering him in turn. In Chapter Seven, Roman Torchwick is killed effortlessly despite being a formidable combatant in canon. In "What A Sweet Release," Neo shows Adam what exactly a real assassin can do by destroying him in fights multiple times, even toying with him the second time around. In "Born Indicted," Hazel defeats Adam offscreen and Sienna presents his head at a White Fang rally to assert her dominance.

Gone Horribly Right: One supremacist attempts to use a chainsaw against Adam. Unfortunately for him, the constant pressure against Wilt helps charge Adam's Semblance directly. Ruby dispatches Neo to track the man Cinder hires to try and murder them back to the source; unfortunately, Cinder counted on exactly this to get Ruby without Neo. Ruby walks in on a meeting between Little Miss Malachite and Junior Xiong, using Refuge in Audacity to try and get their attention. Unfortunately, it quickly turns out that Malachite has been working for Cinder for a while and the entire thing was set up to lure Ruby in.

A Lighter Shade of Black: Bizarrely enough, the premise of the story is that Salem's faction of all people serve as this. While they may be vicious, ambitious, and exceptionally violent, they're organized and have some redeemable members. The Witch Hunters, meanwhile, have carved a bloody swath throughout Vale and just keep going in the interest of slaughtering all their enemies and claiming a power base.

Pay Evil unto Evil: When the High Priest ends up cornered, he begs for his life against Jaune. In response, Jaune rejects any pity he might've held for him and invokes the I'm Melting! effect of his Semblance on the surrendered opponent. While an awful fate, the High Priest was a mass murderer and Jaune doesn't spare a second thought over it.

Ambiguous Situation
 Destinies of Remnant (Fanfic) / int_1f6983f7
comment
Ambiguous Situation: Was Jaune actually tortured and brainwashed into his current role as he believes, or did he join willingly and repressed the memory? Even when Jaune shows his memories in "I'm Not Your Sacrifice," his claim is inconsistent to Cinder's claim that he joined willingly. The situation ceases to be ambiguous when the final chapter explains that Salem actually did brainwash Jaune, not by torture, but by twisting his very soul. Then, however, the question shifts: Salem says that all it does is remove the suppression of his basic instincts. Does this imply that Jaune actually is incapable of controlling himself, or is he just ignoring that side of himself?

Bloodier and Gorier: Just as The Black Knight and "Small And Helpless" vied for being the goriest entry in Destinies as a series, Fallen Petals throws its own hat in the ring with Adam's gruesome Mook Horror Show against the anti-Faunus supremacists and the brutal No-Holds-Barred Beatdown that Cinder gives Ruby at the end of Chapter One. The later chapters continue this trend, notably featuring considerably more dismemberment than most of the stories in the franchise.

Adaptation Expansion: There's some expansion on how Aura works; namely, it's noted that Aura has "weak points" by Mercury, which can be struck to deal greater damage to Aura. This justifies characters striking significant blows and also explains the faster pace of fights in the Destinies stories.

Mythology Gag
 Destinies of Remnant (Fanfic) / int_26ac510e
comment
Mythology Gag: Ruby is shown to be an expert at building and repairing things, a nod to the fact that the show establishes her as having built Crescent Rose herself. Cinder loses an eye and sustains an injury to her voice just like at the end of the third volume of the source material, only this time it's the opposite eye and Tyrian and Watts were behind it rather than an unknowing Ruby. Similarly, she moves to Anima and seeks revenge— just like what happened in the series, but under different circumstances. Yang and Adam's confrontation in the third chapter parallels their final fight, specifically having Yang catch one of his blows and deliver a deciding strike in response; this time, however, Adam loses an arm, repaying him for what happened in "Heroes and Monsters" back in the series' third volume.

The Bad Guy Wins

comment
The Bad Guy Wins: As one would expect from an Evil vs. Evil story, one of said evil sides claims victory. Ruby sweeps Cinder's force out of existence thanks to Sienna destroying Adam, Junior converting Malachite to their side, and Neo self-destructing to kill Cinder. Ruby then proceeds to organize her council as planned and begin her effort to wage war on the world.

Narcissist: Cinder claims full credit for the Fall of Beacon even though she did the bare minimum of the heavy lifting, with Watts pointing out that her plans would've amounted to nothing were it not for Watts providing the virus, Roman recruiting the Fang and stealing the Dust, and Adam actually spearheading the attack.

Ruder and Cruder: The language in Chapter Six is harsher than the rest of the fic. This is first indicated by Adam saying "Fuck the White Fang" at its start. Other characters follow suit, with curses being tossed around much more liberally. None of Paths of Remnant holds back with the language, with characters more than happy to curse compared to the original.

Batman Gambit

comment
Batman Gambit: Cinder predicts Ruby's actions and plays her like a fiddle toward the end of the first chapter; namely, she figures out Ruby will send Neo to try and track the man Cinder sent to kill them, and that Ruby will interrupt a meeting between Malachite and Junior, allowing Cinder to take her on personally. Cinder manages to predict Watts' actions with ease, knowing that he would try to hack into the energy field she deployed and setting up safeguards against it that allow her to instantly bring down his best advantage.

comment
Adaptational Sympathy: The typical sympathy given to Cinder in the stories is only increased, with her backstory being a major figure in her actions and driving her. While still unrepentantly evil to the core, Cinder is presented as disillusioned with society and desperate for power to cope with her past. Hazel takes some time to examine the glass unicorn she put on the desk and mourn her.

Psychopathic Manchild
 Destinies of Remnant (Fanfic) / int_3ae6199a
comment
Psychopathic Manchild: Jaune is most definitely a Psychopathic Manchild. Prone to swings in mood, extremely delusional, and more than a little insane, Jaune's Half-Human Hybrid nature has clearly had a negative effect as to his sanity, with him descending into a mumbling, regretful wreck one second but being a bold, confident leader the next. Combine this with his intellectual mind, and he's a threat even Emerald admits she wouldn't want to take on.

Character Development: By the end, Jaune goes from a Psychopathic Manchild to a genuinely helpful person capable of controlling his mood, even unlocking his Aura again in a moment of serious danger. Unfortunately, the curse the Silver Eye inflicts him with causes him Sanity Slippage again and he decides to pull The Last Dance against Pyrrha. Mercury and Emerald decide to find more to life than Cinder's will, and use the job as an opportunity to escape Salem's faction, in addition to reckoning with their actions.

Bad Boss: Cinder is this, unlike the Benevolent Boss that is Ruby. Cinder will sacrifice anyone and anything to achieve victory, including her own minions. That said, she genuinely loved Mercury and Emerald and is actually seeking revenge for them. Adam willingly guts one of his own men for a perceived insult, then coldly orders the other to clean it up.

comment
Chapter Six's conflict is between Adam, a backstabbing, vengeance-fueled Manipulative Bastard, and Jacques Schnee, who runs a MegaCorp that is essentially a criminal empire. Adam is the Villain Protagonist while Jacques is very clearly the main antagonist. Adam tricks Jacques into handing over his company and has him arrested, alongside saving Atlas when Jacques has a Villainous Breakdown.

comment
Bittersweet Ending: When taken together with its original chapter, this is the way the story ends. On the one hand, Vale has suffered incredible damages thanks to Cinder and the High Priest and it's unlikely that they'll recover any time soon; additionally, thanks to the Silver Eye, Jaune is on his way to fight Pyrrha in a battle that will cost him his life. On the other, Salem's forces are crippled for at least the next few years thanks to Hazel's machinations, Mercury and Emerald are free to live their own lives, and Jaune's battle with Pyrrha convinces her to come back to the fold and defeat Salem for good, so the situation is far from hopeless.

Shut Up, Hannibal!
 Destinies of Remnant (Fanfic) / int_4127eb1
comment
Shut Up, Hannibal!: In "This World Will Have No Peace," Adam responds to Jacques' ranting with four simple words and one simple action: Using Moonslice to brand the bastard like he himself had been branded. In "What A Sweet Release," Adam is going on an infuriated speech about how humanity hurt him, once again trying to draw pity. Oscar, who he's taken hostage, has none of it and, while showing sympathy for his pain, rebukes him. In "Small and Helpless," when Tyrian is giving one of his dramatic monologues about how viciously he's going to kill Ruby, comparing them to a fairy tale, Ruby activates her Semblance and begins to attack him, before finally declaring "You're the big bad wolf? I'm a huntress." She then decapitates him, finally ending his danger.

Establishing Series Moment

comment
Establishing Series Moment: The ending of "The Wolves and the Soulless" sees Roman Torchwick win completely, leaving every party Out-Gambitted alongside killing the White Fang's leaders and letting James Ironwood annex Menagerie before parting with the heroes on Affably Evil terms with the only solace being that the narration reminds readers that Mantle's destruction will see Roman get some long-overdue karma. This sets three tonal principles for Destinies: Firstly, that villains can earn huge victories and morality isn't always clear-cut; secondly, that being The Chessmaster is the best way to survive in this version of Remnant and Anyone Can Die; third and lastly, however, that even the darkest endings will have sweet elements.

Bait the Dog: When Jaune is nude during their meeting, Salem averts her eyes respectfully. Tyrian is absolutely outraged by this, believing that it's a sign of her showing her "Knight" greater respect than the majority of her forces. In the second chapter, Salem's narration reveals that this was to deceive Jaune. She knows he wants respect and craves validation, but in reality, he is nothing more than another of her tools.

Cool Versus Awesome: Some of the What If? scenarios involve characters who never showed down in canon getting to fight. This includes: Roman Torchwick versus Adam Taurus in the first chapter is pointedly an Evil Versus Evil conflict. The battle of Gentleman Thief versus an Ax-Crazy Iaijutsu Practitioner ends with Roman taken out easily, although not dead. "Even Brilliant Lights" sees Ruby taking on her own team in a full-on fight, backed by Awesomeness by Analysis. "What A Sweet Release" has Neopolitan, a master Professional Killer, up against Adam Taurus who has already developed his advanced moveset from Volume 6. It's an effortless victory on Neo's end twice. Adam barely hangs on using cheap tricks.

Death by Adaptation

comment
Death by Adaptation: The fic provides a set of deaths, all before the characters die in canon if they do at all. Ruby herself dies to kick off the second chapter, poisoned by Tyrian. Tyrian quickly follows in Ruby's footsteps, killed by Qrow in a blind rage. Qrow is killed by Cinder and the Apathy. Cinder is shot by Crescent Rose, and killed by the Apathy when she loses control of them. Jaune Arc ends up dying to Pyrrha at the end of the third chapter, since he's been corrupted. Tyrian bites it again in Chapter Four, courtesy of Watts taking a "hunting trip" with him.

Hope Springs Eternal: The main theme of Chapter Two.

The ending of Chapter Eight has Ozpin concluding that hope does, in fact, exist and converting to the side of good.

Meanwhile, Mistral has been left in shambles by Cinder's Internal Reveal of the true nature of Salem and Ozpin's Forever War. Ozpin and Ironwood have agreed to send Team JNPR after Ruby with lethal force authorized, and the only rays of hope are that Salem has lost her entire council thanks to Cinder killing Tyrian and Watts alongside Ruby recruiting Hazel.

Wham Line: Chapter 3 ends on a much-foreshadowed revelation about the true nature of the High Priest, delivered by Jaune. Chapter 4 has a couple major ones. It's hard to tell what exactly the Big Bad has brought out until he outright names it: The Eye of the Summer Rose. Yes, that Summer Rose. Chapter 4 has one in its final conversation. When told about the artifact he was struck with, Jaune asks a simple question that Salem has no choice but to grimly confirm the answer to.

Fantastic Racism: The fact he's reformed in Chapter Four doesn't stop Adam from holding some ill will toward humans.

Black-and-Grey Morality: Chapter One features Sienna Khan and Roman Torchwick versus Adam Taurus; a Well-Intentioned Extremist and Gentleman Thief versus an Ax-Crazy psychopath. As it turns out, Roman instigated the conflict to begin with, knowing Team RWBY could accept it easier if this trope were in play. Chapter Four has Arthur Watts, a homicidally petty and spiteful Mad Scientist, versus Cinder, who remains well-intentioned yet willing to put innocent people like Ruby in danger to achieve her ends. Chapter Six features Adam against Jacques. Adam is a sinister Manipulative Bastard with nothing but selfish intentions at heart, but he does have genuine moments of kindness, doesn't hurt people when it's unnecessary, and draws the line at certain acts. In contrast, Jacques is just a racist Smug Snake with nothing but greed and paranoia in mind when he takes any and all of his actions.

Pragmatic Villainy: Sienna accepts Ruby's offer of alliance, recognizing that Ruby won't betray her and arguing that it's convenient for both of them. Ruby doesn't want to rule Mistral herself. Rather, she wants "a seat at the table," her own voice on proceedings. She's more than willing to divide power between the criminals of Mistral. Surprisingly, Cinder herself proves somewhat pragmatic when she talks with Ruby for quite some time, only to be brutally efficient in taking her down and delivering a No-Holds-Barred Beatdown toward her.

Central Theme
 Destinies of Remnant (Fanfic) / int_5ce7dbb9
comment
In Destinies, the Central Theme is fate. It focuses on how one small event can alter entire parts of a story or a person. It also addresses You Can't Fight Fate— while many of the timelines end up with very cynical outcomes (Ozma becoming evil and Pyrrha abandoning Beacon being two prominent examples), there are also many that include small events or decisions that save lives and change fate for the better (The Battle of Beacon being sabotaged by Mercury and Emerald, Cinder becoming a hero, and surprisingly enough, Adam conquering the SDC, which saves a lot of people from their suffering). Overall, the theme is that small things can have massive consequences.

Heel–Face Turn

comment
In chapter two of Paths, "What A Sweet Release," Neo makes the fateful decision to make a Heel–Face Turn and kill Cinder before she can travel alongside her. This results in the heroes having Neo on their side, and she even fights Adam— and twice proves vastly superior in combat.

comment
Sanity Slippage: Adam is confirmed by his own narrative segments to be losing his mind as the story's events go on. He hallucinates himself in the mirror, is taunted and abused by said hallucination, and can barely keep his impulses in check. Even during fights, he starts ranting and raving.

comment
Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Even as a crime lord, Ruby still genuinely cares about Yang, and also states that she sees Neo in a sisterly manner. Even as the story plays out, her complicated feelings toward her mother are a recurring theme, and she ultimately declares Summer's mysterious death as being among the things she'd like to prevent with her new era. Even the murderous Neo misses Roman deeply, and still holds something of a grudge against Ruby for killing him. Cinder, for all she's an evil schemer who abused everyone around her, is legitimately saddened and horrified by Mercury and Emerald's deaths, and hopes to avenge them.

comment
Author Appeal: There are recurring elements throughout the story, clearly added due to the creator's preference toward them. The Bad Guy Wins crops up fairly often. It's rare to see a story in the collection without a villain winning somehow, though they do exist. Of the villains throughout canon, easily the most prominent is Adam Taurus, who is also given a large dose of Adaptational Sympathy. Adam is a recurring presence, although this also means he's hit with The Worf Effect somewhat regularly, between being killed multiple times and effortlessly trounced by Neo. The Chessmaster is a very common villain archetype, especially common to stories with a Villain Protagonist in the fic.

Dying Moment of Awesome
 Destinies of Remnant (Fanfic) / int_6682d6e4
comment
Dying Moment of Awesome: In the second chapter, Qrow charges directly into superheated fire to kill his opponent, Cinder. Unfortunately, he fails to land a blow. The death of Adam in Chapter Four. He breaks his vow of peace and unleashes a wave of Moonslice so powerful that it disintegrates everything in the room— himself included. It's the most powerful he's ever seen at. Subverted by Watts, who reaches for a detonator to detonate everyone... and dies before he can hit the button, killing nobody. Sienna closes out a speech in "Born Indicted" with a declaration of defiance, and then explodes alongside the entire room. Doubly impressive once it's revealed that she planned the whole thing, fully knowing she'd die. In "Small and Helpless," Taiyang only dies after giving Tyrian the fight of his life, then getting back up from impalement to save his daughter, a Papa Wolf to his last breath.

Graying Morality

comment
Paths has heroes, villains, and those in between. The first chapter is centered around Roman playing the role of Evil Mentor to Ruby, whereas the second focuses on the idea of the murderous Neo seeking redemption. The third, meanwhile, is about the hard nuances and the question of if violence can be justified, placing Sienna firmly in the role of A Lighter Shade of Black. Ultimately, the fourth closes off this theme by featuring Ruby, untrained and sheltered in this timeline, up against Tyrian, a representative of bloodlust, sadism, and violence; essentially, seeing what would happen if Ruby didn't get trained to be a hero.

Driven to Suicide
 Destinies of Remnant (Fanfic) / int_6d332aea
comment
The eighth chapter is easily the darkest, focusing on Ozpin potentially being Driven to Suicide as its main conflict, examining the dark history of a potentially evil Ozma, and carrying themes of fate, free will, and self-destruction. That said, this chapter has a happier ending compared to many; Ozpin firmly decides to choose the side of good for once, and to try and fix what he's destroyed.

Disc-One Final Boss: The third chapter initially seems to have the "Schnee Mob," a set of SDC thugs, as its main villains. Of course, this being a Pyrrha-centric story where the protagonist quickly outclasses them, they're traded at the halfway point for a corrupted Jaune Arc, who takes center stage and nearly kills Pyrrha himself.

Villain Has a Point
 Destinies of Remnant (Fanfic) / int_723be11b
comment
Villain Has a Point: In Chapter One, Roman points out that Huntsmen are essentially legalized criminals, with licenses to commit vigilantism. Then he points out that he himself was released due to being useful, so the heroes can't judge him. Team RWBY end up conceding the point. In Chapter Five, Watts states outright that Cinder is only in it for herself. While he's a Smug Snake, Cinder ends up confirming that she went off-book to recruit Ruby to achieve her goals. In Chapter Six, Sienna and Adam directly trade examples. Sienna calls out Adam for being a narcissistic "child," which Adam impotently refutes, only to follow up by laying out that the White Fang is backed by Jacques Schnee under a shell company. The following speech breaks Sienna's will. In Chapter Six, Adam points out that Weiss can't just go and tell the public about the truth; they have to know the truth, at least many of them, and if she tries to tell them the only one who will suffer is her. He does end up caving to her as part of his plan, having her expose Jacques's crimes in a video once Adam's released the evidence to the world. Chapter Six delivers Adam unleashing a broken rant to Willow, where he rails against humanity for leaving him (Though he notably doesn't mention his fellow Faunus at all) to suffer. Ultimately a Downplayed Trope though, as while Willow doesn't refute his claims or try to downplay his pain, she does call out the fact he just wants power and point out that he's lashing out due to his trauma. Sienna Khan is ultimately proven right that killing a select few people in a single strike can create some level of peace and unity as opposed to the mindless violence the White Fang practiced under Adam.

Adaptational Badass: Cardin Winchester may have been a Huntsman-in-Training, but the only person he ever won a fight against in canon was Jaune very early on in his training. Here, his forces begin the story having managed to take over half of Vale, becoming such a threat that even Salem herself takes notice and Atlas is close to intervening. Dove Bronzewing and Russel Thrush have both unlocked their Semblances and manage to pose a threat to Mercury and Emerald, two experienced killers, in contrast to their canon counterparts who aren't especially impressive in combat.

Awesomeness by Analysis
 Destinies of Remnant (Fanfic) / int_73733868
comment
Awesomeness by Analysis: Jaune can figure out others' fighting styles and work to counteract them, most notably shown when he holds his own against Mercury by binding his legs. Mercury's assassination expertise lets him deduce others' fighting styles, weak points, and Semblances. Most notably, this is used when he figures out how to kill Dove Bronzewing— Mercury counts exactly the amount of time he can use an ability for, and then deduces how said ability works. Using the gap where Bronzewing can't bring his Semblance's shield down to slip explosives under his feet and reduce him to Ludicrous Gibs. Emerald figures out how the Semblance of her opponent, Russel Thrush, works. She then uses this knowledge to win the fight with them very quickly.

Spared by the Adaptation: Chapter One has this as the entire premise; Roman survives the Battle of Beacon where he died in the main series, and proceeds about his usual antics. Chapter Four spares Rhodes due to him saving Cinder and getting out of dodge. Chapter Five spares Roman again due to him never getting released during the improvised Battle of Beacon, which is lampshaded as he sits in his prison cell.

Additionally, since that story ended with the revelation that Salem is still alive, she's not going anywhere either.

Spotlight-Stealing Squad: Of the show's villains, Adam Taurus shows up very prominently among the villains. He's mentioned often and is a major character in the first, fourth, and fifth chapters of Destinies, discounting its sixth chapter where he is the Villain Protagonist in his own right, and shows up as a major figure in Paths' "What A Sweet Release," even being featured (albeit as a severed head) in "Born Indicted," with his legacy and death looming over the story's events.

Chronic Backstabbing Disorder: Cinder is treacherous, as always; she worked for Raven for months to recoup her power base, only to poison her and take control of the Branwen clan herself. Salem's council turned against Cinder the moment they got a chance, judging by her hoarse voice and the mask across her eye. It's later revealed that her failure to keep Ruby from escaping was an excuse that Tyrian and Watts gleefully took to try and kill her, alongside murdering Emerald and Mercury.

The first chapter is essentially a fun romp similar to the show's earlier seasons, greatly focused on Roman and his alliance with Team RWBY, with the team banding together. The only named casualties are Sienna Khan and Adam Taurus— both villains, though the former is a more sympathetic villain. The second chapter opens with Ruby herself dying and has a much more brutal and depressing tone, focused on Jaune's internal struggles, and racks up a much higher bodycount of named characters even beyond Ruby, including Tyrian, Watts, Qrow, and Cinder.

Small Role, Big Impact: Willow Schnee in Chapter Six. The one conversation she has with Adam finally lets him release his years of pent-up trauma and express his hatred, which leads him to a more hopeful conclusion. In "Born Indicted," Hazel only appears a few times and has little to say but saved Sienna, and Adam died before the story yet proves a talking point for multiple characters' philosophies, with his sword even being the key to Sienna's secret chamber.

Breather Episode
 Destinies of Remnant (Fanfic) / int_80a247a9
comment
Breather Episode: The fourth chapter is far more lighthearted than previous chapters, focusing on heroic versions of villains allying with Team RWBY to end a plot by Arthur Watts. That said, it has a very Bittersweet Ending— while Watts is stopped, Ruby is disillusioned with heroism and is at risk of being corrupted by Salem. If the fourth chapter wasn't it, the fifth absolutely is. The deviation it focuses on is small but essential, with it being a much lighter chapter on the whole. All the good guys come out alive, the villains are defeated, and literally no named characters die in a first for the fic. Even Adam, who was literally cornered by a pack of Grimm and had lost an arm, shows up again afterwards. While Chapter Seven is horror-themed, it's also much, much Denser and Wackier than the typical Destinies story, featuring characters casually offing vampires, the sheer ridiculousness that is Jaune as an evil mastermind and his refusal to take anything especially seriously, and a lot more jokes than usual.

Denser and Wackier: Absolutely. This story is a flat-out comedy in opposition to the cold-blooded (Though occasionally humorous) revenge drama which was the original chapter.

Didn't Think This Through
 Destinies of Remnant (Fanfic) / int_8d0785d5
comment
Didn't Think This Through: Cinder's plans have a tendency to backfire because she doesn't consider their long-term consequences: Cinder's attack on Beacon was a failure in both the long and short term. Not only did it involve stockpiling a bunch of Dust on the basis that it might be useful later (which would've backfired had Roman not kept her on track), and while she took Beacon with the Grimm, they couldn't actually hold it for long enough to find the Relic, meaning that they didn't even accomplish their main goal. In forming the Witch Hunters, Cinder expected an easy-to-control organization who would complete their mission of destroying the White Fang and then be disbanded. Instead, she created a group that spins out of control to the point that Salem's whole group has to step in, especially because she tells them about Salem's existence and allows the news to be spread far and wide.

Surprisingly, from a Creature of Grimm of all things. Hank, Jaune's attack Ursa, bravely jumps in the way of the Eye of the Summer Rose and saves Jaune's life. For a mindless monster, its utter loyalty is undeniable.

Asshole Victim

comment
Asshole Victim: Anyone subject to quite the Mook Horror Show Adam delivers would be sympathetic, except for the fact he's going up against anti-Faunus supremacists in the first chapter. Adam even internally notes his delight in feeling no guilt as he cuts loose and rips them apart. The fates of Arthur Watts and Tyrian Callows are both gruesome and painful, sadistic drawn-out deaths courtesy of Cinder; but the fact that the two are a Smug Snake and a Sadist respectfully means they come off as deserved.

Laser-Guided Karma: Cardin Winchester is killed by the student he used to bully while disgracefully begging for his life in spite of the numerous people he killed despite their pleas. Just to top it off, when he's mentioned in "I'm Not Your Sacrifice", it's only because he used to bully Jaune, not because of his actions in this story.

Villainous Breakdown: The first chapter opens with Adam in the throes of one, retreating from a seemingly invincible Blake. While said Blake is actually Neo's illusions, Adam uncharacteristically runs for his life like a coward. When Yang abandons Ruby for good, Ruby finally breaks down and just cries from sheer loneliness.

comment
In Chapter One of Paths, both Ruby and Roman are explicitly shown using analytical skills to defeat opponents, with it being outright stated Roman passed it down to Ruby. Roman manages to terrorize Adam by deducing that he's weak without his sword, a feat Ruby repeats by defeating Weiss, Blake and Yang with her own analytical skills. Combining her knowledge of their personalities with her knowledge of their skills and powers leads to her swiftly forcing Yang to hit Blake, taking Yang out seconds after, and disarming and defeating Weiss. It seems she learned well from her Evil Mentor.

Took a Level in Badass: Sienna goes from a deceived victim to Adam's right hand, who's not incapable of scheming herself. Adam himself is explicitly shown as capable of fighting toe-to-toe with Winter. While he was explicitly stated to be a capable fighter beforehand, Winter notes that he's gotten stronger, likely due to consistent training with an equal combatant like Sienna.

 Destinies of Remnant (Fanfic) / int_9d12bbc1
comment
Foreshadowing: The High Priest's true identity as Cardin Winchester is heavily foreshadowed throughout the story: The story summary states that "Beacon's heroes shall become its scourge." At first, one assumes it's probably talking about Jaune, but it could apply just as easily to the High Priest. His fellow priests are blue, green, and bronze, just like Sky, Russel, and Dove's color schemes in the show. The blue one also wields a halberd just like Sky does. His primary weapon is a mace and Emerald is confident she saw someone with his fighting style during the Battle of Beacon. When he asks for a status report, he refers to the idea of a technician as a "geek", just like a schoolyard bully would. He primarily attacks Faunus before expanding onto other targeted groups; Cardin's defining canon feature is his tendency to attack Faunus students. Finally, he has a special hatred for Jaune Arc and believes that anyone could beat him in a fight, just like he always did during sparring classes.

 Destinies of Remnant (Fanfic) / int_9e943076
comment
One-Man Army: It's a What If? of RWBY. This trope is natural considering the World of Badass the source material takes place in. Sun in Chapter One is described as wiping out White Fang mooks "like a machine." In Chapter Four, Arthur Watts takes out a total of twenty men in a lengthy action sequence, equipped with only a revolver, a couple grenades, and his wits. Chapter Five has a brutal example in the form of Cinder Fall, who fights Jaune, Nora, Ren, Weiss, Ruby, Penny, Emerald, and Mercury in a row— and wins, only to get humiliatingly defeated by Pyrrha. An offscreen example in Chapter Five, due to Adam taking on an entire room full of Grimm, one-armed, and winning. Tyrian Callows in "Small And Helpless" wipes out an entire sixty-person police unit in pursuing Ruby.

Take That!: In Chapter Five, Roman is left sitting in his prison cell during the improvised Battle of Beacon, noting that he feels like "something really terrible and contrived was supposed to happen to me right about now". In "Small And Helpless," Tyrian delivers a crack that keeping secrets is called "pulling an Ozpin" under Salem, no doubt alluding to Ozpin's infamous and divisive habit of concealing important information in the canon of the show.

Xanatos Gambit: Cinder and Ruby pile them up as the story goes on. Cinder openly declares that her winning or losing is irrelevant to her goals; all she wants is to send Mistral spiraling into chaos and leave someone— either herself or Ruby— to oppose Salem and Ozpin and to lead the world into its new era. Ruby and Neo's plans to deal with both Little Miss Malachite and Cinder are this— for Malachite, she pretends to have her daughters hostage but also has a Dust bomb laid out on the envelope she delivers the staged photo in so that she can either force her to her side or kill her on the spot, and Neo and Ruby have agreed to put a Gravity Dust self-destruct option on Neo's weapon so that, even if she loses, she can use her last moments to bring Cinder with her.

Zig-Zagged between Freudian Excuse and Freudian Excuse Is No Excuse with "You Will (Not) Prevail." On the one hand, Ozma is a Tragic Villain whose suffering comes about due to repeated instances of violence in his past, often out of his hands. On the other, the God of Light takes him to task for not accepting fate, while giving him a chance for redemption. However, Ozma ultimately subverts the hell out of Freudian Excuse Is No Excuse and viciously calls the Gods out on their misdeeds and mistreatment of humanity, noting that for all they try to treat the problems like they're his fault, they're the ones with the power to fix it.

Offscreen Moment of Awesome: Jaune's Grimm eliminating the entire power base of the Witch Hunters is quite an impressive feat, but is done in areas where they've already overextended. Emerald and Mercury taking on a massive mech in the final chapter is a simple cutaway. When we cut back, they've finished the task.

Shout-Out: In the second chapter, Ruby and Cinder have a conversation that spirals into a discussion about the uses of chaos; Cinder notes that she's used chaos to climb to the top of everywhere she's been and denies the notion that it's a pit, stopping just short of outright saying "Chaos is a ladder". Author's notes confirm that Cinder is playing Mozart's "Lacrimosa" on the piano in the third chapter.

Ruby and Neo's plans to deal with both Little Miss Malachite and Cinder are this— for Malachite, she pretends to have her daughters hostage but also has a Dust bomb laid out on the envelope she delivers the staged photo in so that she can either force her to her side or kill her on the spot, and Neo and Ruby have agreed to put a Gravity Dust self-destruct option on Neo's weapon so that, even if she loses, she can use her last moments to bring Cinder with her.

Corrupt Corporate Executive
 Destinies of Remnant (Fanfic) / int_cbe687ab
comment
Chapter Six's Jacques Schnee, unlike the simple Corrupt Corporate Executive of canon, is Remnant's biggest crime kingpin under the table. Not only does he practice slavery using prison labor, he also backs terrorist organizations and is even implied to engage in Faunus trafficking and eventually murders a man himself. It's only fitting that a chapter that makes Adam an Adaptational Nice Guy would depict Jacques in such a negative light.

Cerebus Syndrome: While still definitely Denser and Wackier and Lighter and Softer than the story it follows, being a dramedy, the arrival of Winter and the revelation of their true motives to the audience, as well as their dispute with Adam, leads the story down a darker and more dramatic path. Generally, when the two are apart the story is comical, but when they share a scene it becomes much more intense.

An Arm and a Leg: The third chapter sees Adam take on Yang and Neo; Yang activates her Semblance and manages to plow through Adam's defenses and maneuver around him excellently— but she's stopped when one of her best-timed moves accidentally rips his right arm off. Later, Adam also smashes off his own foot to escape Sienna. The fight between Cinder and Tyrian ends with Cinder willingly giving up her hand to drive an arrow through her opponent's throat.

In Spite of a Nail: Sienna Khan and Adam still die in Chapter One, and the White Fang still falls. It's just quicker this time around. Also in Chapter One, Ironwood occupies Menagerie under false pretenses, having sent Roman out to provide reason for it— a signal that he's starting his descent into evil from canon. Even though everything's changed, in Chapter Two, Oscar still manages to meet the heroes, and implicitly Ozpin with him.

Refuge in Audacity: Ruby enters the White Fang's headquarters through a Trick-and-Follow Ploy, and sits on Sienna's throne before asking an alliance with Sienna, who notoriously distrusts humans. This works, as Sienna is impressed by her audacity and honesty. Ruby not only interrupts a meeting between Malachite and Junior by pulling up a chair to join, but even kicks her feet up onto the table. When she talks to her, Cinder similarly kicks her feet up. With nothing left to lose, Cinder shows no hesitation in openly murdering Tyrian and Watts, beginning an outright war in Mistral, and revealing Salem and Ozpin's Forever War to the entirety of Remnant.

Adaptational Wimp: Characters are hit with The Worf Effect in various ways throughout the fic, but Aura in general is much weaker than in canon. More fights in the fic end with Aura broken than in any other fashion, with Yang in particular able to take out multiple characters Auras (Blake and Adam, specifically) with a single punch. The Black Knight indirectly justifies this by suggesting that each person's Aura has specific weak spots that drains them faster, indicating that characters were hitting each other in said weak spots.

comment
The Chessmaster: Ruby continues to play the role of a genius strategist, setting up an empire that she aims to use for much greater things than being a simple crime lord. Notably, thanks to her injuries, she ends up coordinating the final battle from afar— and does just as good a job of it as she would've on the ground. That said, she's actually bad at chess in-universe. Cinder is just as much of a plotter as in canon, using Ruby as bait to lure in Watts and Tyrian and kill them, alongside planning her own revenge against Ruby and takeover of Mistral. Sienna Khan proves to be this by the final chapter, having played Adam right into her hands in her intention to finally undo her weakest link.

Mercury's assassination expertise lets him deduce others' fighting styles, weak points, and Semblances. Most notably, this is used when he figures out how to kill Dove Bronzewing— Mercury counts exactly the amount of time he can use an ability for, and then deduces how said ability works. Using the gap where Bronzewing can't bring his Semblance's shield down to slip explosives under his feet and reduce him to Ludicrous Gibs.

Point of Divergence
 Destinies of Remnant (Fanfic) / int_e7f67516
comment
Point of Divergence: Each chapter has one divergence from canon, which, while seemingly innocuous, has major effects. In the first chapter, Ruby figures out a way to beat Neo and Roman without seemingly killing Neo. Due to this, Roman and Neo survive, Ruby allies with them against Salem's forces, Team RWBY reunites early, and Roman singlehandedly organizes the end of the White Fang and the deaths of Adam Taurus and Sienna Khan, giving way to Ironwood occupying Menagerie. In the second chapter, Qrow arrives seconds too late to keep Ruby from getting poisoned by Tyrian. The end result is Ruby dying, Qrow killing Tyrian, and Team JNR deviating from their course entirely. On the villains' side, Cinder kills Watts far earlier than in canon, before dying herself thanks to Jaune. Emerald becomes the Fall Maiden. In the third chapter, something much less inconspicuous changes. Pyrrha Nikos refuses to become the Fall Maiden, and as such, Jaune Arc ends up corrupted into a brutal Grimm hybrid, Salem fakes her death and continues plotting things out two years later, and the world is none the wiser to her being alive. In the fourth chapter, Rhodes saved Cinder from enslavement years ago and Cinder became a very skilled Huntress and one of Ozpin's inner circle, forcing Watts to work on his own and orchestrate the fall of Beacon, an attempt he fails at... unfortunately, Cinder's morally gray methods disillusion Ruby and it's implied Ruby may join Salem thanks to her. All this change happened because a Huntsman rescued one girl. In the fifth chapter, Mercury and Emerald somehow sabotage the system at the Festival, preventing Pyrrha and Penny from fighting each other. The result is the Battle of Beacon, while still occurring, becoming a complete failure, with Cinder being driven back, the Fall Maiden powers going to Pyrrha, the White Fang being almost disbanded, and Salem's group being exposed. In the sixth chapter, Adam misses a shot and accidentally lets Ghira Belladonna die, causing him to see himself as a failure. The end result is an Adam who is no less vengeful, but slightly less evil and a lot more effective and clever. Among other things, rather than targeting all humans, he aims straight for the top, deciding he will settle things with Jacques Schnee and put himself on top, to boot. In chapter eight, Salem dies instead of Ozma, and he pisses off the Gods while trying to find a way to cure her. The result is him accidentally discovering the multiverse, the Gods cursing him with his reincarnation for a different purpose, and Ozma carving a bloody path through history as humanity's greatest enemy, only with no-one able to stop him. In chapter one of Paths, Glynda doesn't arrive to save Ruby during the Dust heist, so Roman saves her instead. The result is a Ruby who is far more capable and dark than in canon, Roman dying several volumes early at Ruby's hand, Team RWBY breaking apart at the seams, and Ruby and Neo fleeing Cinder to go to Mistral. In chapter two of Paths, "What A Sweet Release," Neo makes the fateful decision to make a Heel–Face Turn and kill Cinder before she can travel alongside her. This results in the heroes having Neo on their side, and she even fights Adam— and twice proves vastly superior in combat. In chapter three of Paths, "Born Indicted," Sienna Khan is Spared by the Adaptation by virtue of Hazel's intervention. As a result, she pulls a gambit that trades her own life, and many others, for peace between Faunus and humans. In chapter four of Paths, "Small And Helpless," Salem discovers Ruby's Silver Eyes. The result is a brutal chapter in which Tyrian murders Ruby's father and hunts her to the ends of Remnant out of spite.

O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Adam always had trouble controlling his temper, but he's definitely worked on it by the time of the story. That's why it's sudden when he not only prepares his Semblance while ranting about the Schnees' complacency in Jacques' crimes, but when he goes completely into Tranquil Fury the second Winter throws a cheap shot about Ghira's death in an argument, telling them to get out and showing none of the business-like, Faux Affably Evil demeanor and charisma Adam's staked his entire position on.

While Adam always counted for Dark Is Evil in canon, his depiction in Chapter Six takes the cake. Everything he has is Red and Black and Evil All Over, and when he creates his new world at the end, he carries on with that color scheme.

Hunting "Accident": Watts mentions offhand in Chapter Five that the mission fell to him after Tyrian "fell" in a "hunting" trip with him.

Undying Loyalty
 Destinies of Remnant (Fanfic) / int_f16da697
comment
Undying Loyalty: Mercury and Emerald showed nothing but utter loyalty to Cinder no matter how she abused them, and Cinder is motivated by the two dying for her. Neo has an unbreaking, iron vow of loyalty to carry on Roman's legacy at his request, defending Ruby despite despising her for killing her best friend. Neo eventually shows no compunction toward dying for her.

Being Evil Sucks
 Destinies of Remnant (Fanfic) / int_f1919d5b
comment
Being Evil Sucks: A recurring theme throughout the story is that characters who choose evil end up alone. Adam is a scared Psychopathic Manchild and a Control Freak who has nobody who truly loves him and fittingly dies just as lonely and scared as one would expect, Cinder personally lost the two people most loyal to her through never appreciating them, Ruby ends up without friends or loved ones when Yang refuses to join her and Neo dies, and even Hazel is depressed and lost due to choosing the side of evil, which makes them easy to recruit to Ruby's cause.

Earn Your Happy Ending
 Destinies of Remnant (Fanfic) / int_f64a9cf7
comment
Earn Your Happy Ending: In Chapter Five, the heroes finally gain a complete victory. They win the Battle of Beacon without a single named casualty due to Mercury and Emerald's defection, and after a brutal fight, Cinder is driven back. While Salem sends her entire council to compensate, it's a much happier ending than normal. After constant horror and suffering in "Small And Helpless," Ruby kills Tyrian, letting Qrow and herself escape Salem's gaze and letting them make amends and live a normal life, with Ruby finally getting to become a Huntress.

Ruby's proper goal, beyond founding a crime empire, is to enter the Forever War between Salem and Ozpin as a third party and win.

Chapter One features Sienna Khan and Roman Torchwick versus Adam Taurus; a Well-Intentioned Extremist and Gentleman Thief versus an Ax-Crazy psychopath. As it turns out, Roman instigated the conflict to begin with, knowing Team RWBY could accept it easier if this trope were in play.

In chapter four of Paths, "Small And Helpless," Salem discovers Ruby's Silver Eyes. The result is a brutal chapter in which Tyrian murders Ruby's father and hunts her to the ends of Remnant out of spite.

Pet the Dog: The biggest indication that Jaune isn't all gone is his affectionate care for his attack Ursa, Hank. Despite having manipulated him constantly, Salem genuinely tells Jaune he's free once she realizes he's dying, up to and including giving him Pyrrha's location.
