Redemption (Fanfic) | comment |
Redemption by RainStorm4 is a re-telling of RWBY from the point of view of Team CRDL. The author watched the show, decided the Gang of Bullies archetype wasn't good enough for a series with such great characters, and took steps to amend that themself. It's told from the point of view of Russel Thrush, who's presented as a Deadpan Snarker with a Dark and Troubled Past, and shows Cardin as a Jerk Jock who develops into a Jerk with a Heart of Gold; Sky Lark as a nerd developing into a Badass Bookworm; and Dove Bronzewing as the Plucky Comic Relief who also serves as The Heart of the team. Considering that only one of the four was given any personality in the show, this is definitely an improvement.Because CRDL shows up so infrequently in the actual show, the author invents numerous situations and events, including occasions where CRDL interacts with RWBY and JNPR, to the extent of developing some actual friendships with the main characters that can be pretty Heartwarming.It is now complete with 42 chapters and is a standalone story without any sequels or spinoffs. | |

Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other | |
Redemption (Fanfic) / int_10dcbe05 | comment |
Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other: Team CRDL, gradually: Cardin and Russel have a couple of good moments, like when Russel refuses to allow Cardin to become ashamed of his Semblance and when Cardin helps Russel get over Violet’s death. Sky and Dove, who are partners both in fighting and romantically, are frequently made of this trope. | |

Darker and Edgier | |
Redemption (Fanfic) / int_14beeefd | comment |
Darker and Edgier: When the hunter shadowing mission started the author announced the story would get both physically and mentally dark. Cue largely underground battles with masses of Grimms inside a mass grave. Afterwards, when they reconnect with the other teams after the Breach, a bomb that the White Fang has left for Blake is triggered. Blake is severely injured, and Russel heals her despite his Semblance and Aura being dangerously low. The strain of this leaves Russel comatose and on life support for a day. The last chapters of the Vytal arc as well, as Beacon itself and many relations built up are Doomed by Canon. | |

Lampshade Hanging | |
Redemption (Fanfic) / int_2a090d00 | comment |
Lampshade Hanging: A lot of things in the RWBY universe: Blake’s ears especially, as well as the partnering system and how it matched everyone up romantically. The title of the fic itself counts: Redemption refers both to the fact that Russel feels a huge amount of guilt over Violet's suicide as well as the fact that the author wanted to develop the characters, which involved making them appear more sympathetic. | |

Character Development | |
Redemption (Fanfic) / int_3b113b7 | comment |
Character Development: Like you wouldn't believe. Cardin goes from a racist bully to a genuinely good leader and professional Huntsman over the course of their mission. He puts trust in Russel, uses the Semblance he hated to save his team from a horde of Grimm and even allows Russel to heal Blake despite the very real risk to Russel's life. Russel goes from an angry, depressed guy suffering the stages of grief to a guy who's happy where he is and who quite clearly adopts CRDL as his new brothers. He also gets over his grief at Violet's death, gets a handle on his temper and bad attitude, and starts a relationship with Yang. Even Dove and Sky get some: Sky goes from being a nerd who's not great at fighting to being a decent tactician who can come up with a half-dozen possibilities for the motivation behind the invasion of Vale off the top of his head, while Dove goes from being someone whom nobody takes seriously to being a real peacemaker between the teams. This is best seen in their fight against the Grimm, where all of their incompatible or despised Semblances come into play: Cardin uses his Semblance to draw the Grimm to him and triggers the cartridge of fire Dust that Russel gave him; Russel goes to save him from the collapsing cave and is guided to him by Dove and Sky, Sky using his super senses to tell Dove where to direct them. Russel then heals Cardin, and Cardin returns the favour by pulling Russel to safety. There's also the fact that for the most part, none of CRDL care when they find out Blake's a Faunus. By that point, they've gotten a real sense of perspective. Russel's reason for disliking Jaune is that while the members of CRDL are all trying to become better people, Jaune never displays guilt or remorse for sneaking into Beacon under false pretences, and instead keeps benefiting from his more competent friends. | |

Blessed with Suck | |
Redemption (Fanfic) / int_3c3f28a5 | comment |
Blessed with Suck: Cardin, whose fear Semblance makes him lethal to his own team in a melee until he gets control over it; Sky, whose super senses make him a hilariously unfit partner for Dove, whose Semblance is basically sonic screaming, and Russel, who hates his Semblance so much he refuses to tell his teammates what it is for almost two semesters. Russel's Semblance is revealed to be healing through absorbing and then suppressing injuries. He has a lot of issues with it because his parents, who were Hunters, and his grandmother, who was old, all died before it manifested, then Violet, who he could have saved if she hadn't set it up otherwise, killed herself in such a way as to make sure he couldn't help her. He tells his teammates that his Semblance is simply absorbing injuries and that he doesn't actually suffer from them; unfortunately, by that point they know him well enough to know he's lying through his teeth. Surprisingly, they see that as very positive because it means he's not suicidal. Russel's Semblance also leads him to be targeted by an unknown assailant so that he can't heal Mercury after Mercury is attacked by Yang during the tournament. | |

Redemption (Fanfic) / int_40cc0c7e | comment |
Bittersweet Ending: Russel and his team survive the invasion of Vale, as do many other named characters. However, the events of canon still happen, and Russel willingly gives up trying to reach Yang that night, despite her having already lost her arm, because too many ordinary citizens need his help, and, as already established in-story, he can't heal a missing limb. In the aftermath, when Yang completely shuts down as in canon, she doesn't reply to any of his letters. | |

Eccentric Mentor: Wivern, one of the Huntsmen CRDL shadows on their mission during the Breach of Beacon. To be fair, though, he's not their mentor. He also appears to be a Sink or Swim Mentor, but that is ultimately subverted and lampshaded: while he was content to let Russel and Cardin fight Grimm by themselves, he also pointed out that he wasn't exactly going to stand by and let them get mauled if they were in over their heads, and he did also need to get an idea of their skill levels. | |

Big Brother Instinct: Downplayed, but Russel shows this in a mild way in regards to Ruby once or twice, noting that she's a cute kid who reminds him of some of his foster-sisters.

Actually Pretty Funny: How Russel treats the reveal of Pyrrha's Semblance.

Though he does insist on being the one to tell them. | |

Jerk Jock: The entire group, although for different reasons with extra flavor. Cardin actively refrains from using anything else than brute force because of his Semblance. Dove comes across as a bit of a dope who acts impulsively and follows the crowd. Sky is bookworm who is frequently so wrapped up in his thoughts that he doesn't realise how insensitive he's being. Russel is dealing with a lot of grief, but he is also just a natural smartass who doesn't suffer fools lightly. | |

"Not So Different" Remark: Downplayed, subverted and played straight all in one! Ren reveals that he and Nora spent time in foster care after the death of their parents. Russel notes that he feels a stronger connection to Ren as a result, but he never says the same thing about Nora, and he also notes that there is no one type of child produced by the foster care system. He does wonder if this is why Ren goes by his last name, noting that he picked up his own habit of using people's surnames due to the filing system used by the foster care system. | |

However, it's revealed that they are legitimate Huntsmen, and they are on a necessary mission. They're also Qrow Branwen and Taiyang Xiao Long. When Russel reveals in a very misogynistic way that he's interested in Yang, Taiyang almost chokes and Qrow has to make sure Tai doesn't break their cover. | |

Foreshadowing | |
Redemption (Fanfic) / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: Because of the aesthetic differences between Russel and the rest of CRDL, the author made Russel a character who was originally from Vacuo, and who had moved to Vale to enrol in Beacon. This is superficially similar to Sun Wukong, and when Russel and Sun meet at the dance, they discover they have several friends in common. What Russel doesn't realise is that one of those friends told Sun about Russel and about Violet's death, and that Sun, not realising Russel had only told CRDL, let the information slip out to RWBY. One of the first conversations the newly-formed Team CRDL has revolves around how much armour they wear, and highlights the fact that Russel only wears a single spaulder (mostly as a makeshift pocket). Later, when Jaune and Russel fall into a crevice at Mountain Glenn, Pyrrha is unable to stop Russel from falling because his spaulder-strap snaps, and he has no other large metallic items she can lift with her Semblance. A meta and unintentional version: chapter 25 was published before the release of season 3, which introduced the Pyrrha-as-Fall-Maiden plotline. In chapter 25, Russel jokingly asks Pyrrha whether she wants actual divinity. Rain Storm should be proud of himself; he called it! What has to be a deliberate example: Qrow, when talking to CRDL about the chaos Cinder's as-of-yet-unknown group is arranging, tells them to simply be on guard and wait until they realise what is happening before they act. Specifically, he tells them to 'wait until the penny drops'. This is before Pyrrha and Penny's match. | |

The last chapters of the Vytal arc as well, as Beacon itself and many relations built up are Doomed by Canon. | |

Redemption (Fanfic) / int_a70223 | comment |
Karma Houdini: Jaune, to team CRDL. As Russel points out during the Mountain Glenn missions, Jaune displays no regret for costing someone their chance into Beacon due to his forged transcripts and relies on the rest of JNPR to carry him until he catches up to their level. | |

Abusive Parents: Cardin’s father; a large part of Cardin’s plot is learning to be someone other than the man who raised him. | |

Redemption (Fanfic) / int_b3aa5504 | comment |
Convenient Coma: After draining his Aura by healing Blake of taking a bomb to the face, Russel lapses into a coma and is kept in the infirmary for a number of weeks. When he is released his fitness levels are incredibly poor and he has lost much of his stamina. | |

Redemption (Fanfic) / int_df858e81 | comment |
Shoot the Medic First: Once Ironwood and Ozpin are made aware of Russel's Semblance of healing they hire him to work as a medic during the Vytal Festival Tournament, while Cinder's faction targets him to prevent him from finding out about Mercury's legs. | |

Didn't See That Coming | |
Redemption (Fanfic) / int_dfa40c1b | comment |
Didn't See That Coming: Sky accidentally does this to Ozpin and Goodwitch. As his Semblance makes him a living lie detector, he can identify when they aren't telling the truth about their reasons for firing Russel as the tournament's medic. After CRDL confronts Goodwitch, Qrow is sent to explain the situation, to try and limit the damage that CRDL may unwittingly cause by blundering in unaware. Averted with Cinder, of course. When Russel's Semblance is revealed to be healing, she arranges for him to be ambushed and badly injured, so that he won't be available to heal Mercury after Yang breaks his legs on live television. | |

Groin Attack | |
Redemption (Fanfic) / int_eaf5a1ac | comment |
Groin Attack: Russel's Semblance is transferring injuries from other people to himself, and then suppressing said injuries. Scarlet was hit in the groin with flaming coconuts. Russel is not amused when he is asked to heal the injury. | |

Face Palm: Everyone in the team, but especially Sky, who frequently plays the mature one to the rest of his team's antics. Although, it's Russel being the Only Sane Man when things get really out of hand. | |
