Of Crystal Shards and Dust (Fanfic)	comment	Of Crystal Shards and Dust is a fanfic written by Daemon of Wrath and Demons Anarchy of Pride, acting as a Crossover Alternate Universe Fic between RWBY and Final Fantasy XV.20 years ago, King Regis Lucis Caelum used the power of the Crystal to save his kingdom from the threats that plagued it: the impending invasion of the Niflheim Empire, the daemons caused by the Starscourge and most importantly, the prophecy which dictates that his unborn son would become the Chosen King destined to save Eos at the cost of his life.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })How did he accomplish this task? By transporting Lucis to another world described to him by the Oracle Sylva Nox Fleuret as one where their problems would not follow them: Remnant.Upon their arrival, Lucis builds diplomatic relations with the four kingdoms of Remnant: Vale, Vacuo, Atlas and Mistral. They also forge a fair and peaceful environment with the Faunus after years of being discriminated by their world's humans. In time, Lucis became officially recognized as Remnant's fifth kingdom, continuing to share the resources and culture from their time in Eos while learning more about their new neighbors.In the present day, Lucis and the other kingdoms have established a cultural exchange program to continue building on the foundations of trust shared between them. As part of this venture, Regis' son Noctis and his confidants Prompto Argentum, Gladiolus Amicitia and Ignis Scientia are sent to Beacon Academy in Vale to study for two years. There, he reunites with childhood friends Ruby Rose and Yang Xiao Long after several years apart, and is subsequently introduced to fellow classmates Blake Belladonna and Weiss Schnee during their initiations.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Thus begins the adventures of the newly established teams RWBY and LAPI, as they learn how to become true Huntresses and Huntsmen and bond together in the process. However, the Lucians and their new allies are unaware that a few ghosts from their past have followed them to Remnant...In summary, this is what happens when bits of FFXV's lore are integrated into RWBY, and while it may seem like a retread of that show's first few beats, the writers promise that it will become something unique by the end, and from the some of the story elements already included, it seems like they'll be set to make good on those.According to Word of God, this will adapt the first three volumes of RWBY, with a sequel fic set for future seasons and other elements from Final Fantasy XV.On May 15, 2022, Of Crystal Shards and Dust was rewritten with the subtitle [Royal Revisions], with the main goal of the rewrite being to deliver a better, cohesive narrative and fix some pacing issues, especially in light of the lore changes brought up in the Dawn of the Future novel detailing the scrapped DLC for FFXV. Of Crystal Shards and Dust [Royal Revisions] can be read here and here.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })

The beginning of the Remnant arc has Noct state that he just turned 18 recently, putting him and Prompto three years older than Ruby and a year above Yang, Weiss and Blake.

Of Crystal Shards and Dust (Fanfic) / int_1257a2d1	comment	15 Minutes of Fame: Not exactly fifteen minutes, but Ruby's actions in stopping Torchwick's theft were recorded by a bystander and was broadcasted. While it is only brought up by Weiss and Prompto so far, Ruby doesn't appreciate the attention whatsoever as she believes that it only contributed to her getting into Beacon on account of her luck rather than being deserving of it through her own merits.

Of Crystal Shards and Dust (Fanfic) / int_1439161f	type	Heroic BSoD
Of Crystal Shards and Dust (Fanfic) / int_1439161f	comment	Heroic BSoD: Poor Ruby. She gets two of these, the last of which is shared with the rest of Team RWBY. Her first BSOD is during the events of Volume 1 where she's the target of Cardin's ridicule instead of Jaune. His ridicule makes her question why Ozpin allowed her to enter Beacon two years early, and it takes Weiss and Yang to help cheer her up. By the events of Forever Fall, she's gotten better. The second BSOD is arguably much worse. The events of Painting the Town... where Team RWBY is after Torchwick and Blake and Sun have to go up to the highway is very much Played for Drama, as the damages done are very real. The aftermath of the battle had four people killed and over twenty injured. None of the girls are happy, with Ruby being the worst affected out of all of them. Blake feels that the whole thing is her fault because she was the one who lured Torchwick into the freeway in the first place. While Noctis manages to knock them out of it, Gawain had to give Ruby a non-malicious "The Reason You Suck" Speech to help get her fully out of it.

Of Crystal Shards and Dust (Fanfic) / int_169d22e6	type	Villain Team-Up
Of Crystal Shards and Dust (Fanfic) / int_169d22e6	comment	Villain Team-Up: In the RWBY canon, we have Salem and her entourage, and to a lesser extent, Sienna Khan's White Fang. As of Chapter 5, Ardyn Izunia has also joined their ranks. Following Lucis' appearance and the disasters that followed as a result of Weird Weather caused by the World Crossing event, there are those who are against Lucis, who either want them out of Remnant, afraid that Niflheim will come to Remnant after Lucis and the Kingdoms will be caught in the crossfire and blame the new Kingdom as a result, or want them to pay for killing their loved ones, even if it was done unintentionally. That group, appropriately named the Anti-Lucian Federation, or "Feds," is also working with Salem, if their senior member Plague's cooperation with Cinder and Torchwick means anything. The White Hoods, who are already pre-established long before Lucis' arrival. They are heavy anti-Faunus, and when Lucis first appeared, they had violently attacked a group of White Fang protesters, among which was a young Adam Taurus. After Lucis appeared and became influential allies with Faunus, becoming heavily favored by them as a result, the White Hoods consider Lucians traitors of humankind, leading to them joining the Feds.

Of Crystal Shards and Dust (Fanfic) / int_1b60dcba	type	The Bully
Of Crystal Shards and Dust (Fanfic) / int_1b60dcba	comment	The Bully: Cardin is still this, but his primary target here is Ruby through mocking the stroke of luck that got her into Beacon with Ozpin. Ruby's teammates, Team JNPR and the Chocobros are none too pleased about it. This is mainly due to the fact that his original target Jaune is, as described above, less of a pushover. Bully Hunter: His harassment of Ruby is one none of her friends take lightly, although this does bring out this trope in Noct specifically when he actively retaliates on her behalf. Ignis notes to Weiss that above all else, Noctis hates bullies, let alone seeing one pick on a close friend.

Of Crystal Shards and Dust (Fanfic) / int_3f45f1e6	comment	Adaptational Heroism: Lucis' more peaceful relationship with the Faunus has led to some of them joining the Kingsglaive. Adam is much more noticeable given his very extremist views of humanity. Here, a White Fang rally he had participated in was attacked by the radical White Hoods. Years later, he's found by Cor while he was attempting to kill a Grimm. Cor then encouraged him to join the Glaives after a short conversation about the meaning of strength. Raven Brawnen, to some extent. In the main series, her relationship with her family is questionable. Here, however, she's shown attacking Ardyn while he's observing Noctis and others during Initiation. There are subtle hints that Raven is hunting Ardyn because he was the one who killed Summer.

Of Crystal Shards and Dust (Fanfic) / int_723606c4	comment	Adaptational Early Appearance: Inverted. The Lucians meeting Ruby messes up some of the early character interactions in Vol. 1: Ruby is saved from messing Weiss' bags by Gladio. Those bags are instead messed up by Jaune, with Pyrrha now taking the role of the bystander who comforts him in the same way he did with Ruby originally. Because of this, he doesn't become formally acquainted with Ruby until initiation, leading to the rest of their canon friendship. Weiss and Blake don't meet the sisters until the initiation; aside from Ruby avoiding her original fate, she and Yang hang out with the Lucians during the sleepover, explaining why they don't encounter Blake. Team CFWY are introduced much earlier as the chaperones of Team LAPI when it takes them one more season to get introduced in RWBY canon. Qrow makes a very early return to Beacon way before he does in Volume 3, but it is for different purposes. Ilia shows up a whopping 4 seasons early as a new Kingsglaive initiate trying to beat her superiors in a drinking contest. She fails.

While he still has the same attitude as before - he takes Ruby's place as the unfortunate soul who messes with Weiss' luggage to display that he's still a klutz, he's portrayed as a much competent fighter early on, easily winning against Cardin in their sparring match when he originally lost. His new backstory reveals that his Glaive training allowed him to enter Beacon legitimately without forging records, meaning that Cardin has even less of a reason to try and intimidate him like before.

Because of this, Ruby and Yang are the only RWBY characters to refer to Noct by his nickname; a trait shared only with his personal Crownsguard and Luna. It is later revealed that Iris is close friends with the half-sisters from Patch too.

Taking place sometime after the event at the docks and before the events of Volume 2, our main cast decides to take a much-needed vacation. Team RWBY visits Patch, leading to Weiss and Blake having a Meet the In-Laws moment with Taiyang. Team JNPR visits Lucis, with Jaune introducing his team to Titus and his daughter Zelda. Team LAPI also heads to Lucis: more specifically, New Tenebrae to visit the Nox Fleuret family.

It says a lot when Adam, who has become an Adaptational Nice Guy who disagrees with Sienna following her decision to make Devil her Lieutenant, is disturbed by him. Along with Devil is Plague, who is apparently a high-ranking member of the Anti-Lucian Federation. There's also Trinity, another important individual in an organization, on the White Hood's side.

Both of them do enjoy prying into Prompto's crush on Cindy to mess with him as payback.

Chapter 23 reveals Nora and Ren were apparently part of an occult club called the ParaNorma Club and got to do a lot of things, ranging from investigating haunted houses, chasing ghosts and even witnessing a mass sponge migration, though Ren claims the sponges moved a foot and a half.

Ardyn was actually counting on this, which was why he purposely released the girls from custody and went so far as to hide their identities from the media so no one actually knows who was responsible for the chaos.
