Vale's Underground is a RWBY Alternate Universe Fic written by Snarky_SilverHaired_Sociopath. The story revolves around Vale Major Crimes Detective, Sergeant Ruby Rose, going up against the mysterious mob boss known only as "Cinder". She has eluded capture all because she has kept her real name secret and kept all connections to her severed. Ruby along with her wife (homicide detective Blake Belladonna) and her partner (Detective Lie Ren) work diligently to uncover this mysterious woman and bring her to justice.In addition, Weiss is reimagined as a pop-star and successful businesswoman who is going to marry Neptune, another singer. Yang and Pyrrha have been reimagined as sex workers where such a profession is legalized. Ozpin appears as Vale's police commissioner, and Ironwood is the mayor of Vale. Adam, Roman, and the Branwen twins are also rival mob bosses in the city. Many other RWBY characters make appearances in this story as well.Now has a character page.The story was discontinued in November of 2019, but the author said they were remaking the story from scratch at some point. In February of 2020, they made good on that promise. The new version now has its own trope page. Beware of SPOILERS from Volume Five and Six of the show.

 Vale's Underground (Fanfic) / int_129749df
comment
All Men Are Perverts: A lot of the men in the story fall victim to this trope. Cardin is the most obvious example, but even Lie Ren, of all people, falls victim to this. The reason he stayed with Flynt, an active criminal, when he could possibly notice the trouble signs? Ren shamefully admits that he gave good blowjobs.

Sexposition: There are a few scenes of character development or plot advancement that occur during sex scenes. A prime example of this happens during Chapter 7 when Yang is having sex with a client. She stops when he finishes… and then proceeds to get her vibrator.

The Sociopath
 Vale's Underground (Fanfic) / int_19851b86
comment
The Sociopath: All the mob bosses, Mercury, Cardin, Dr. Watts, and Nia all have traits of this trope. "Cinder" (aka Kenna Carter) is an almost textbook example. She has extreme callousness towards others and is willing to use violence whenever she can get away with it. She also can be superficially charming when necessary or when she's torturing someone. She also seems to have a need for stimulation that is expressed through her sadistic urges and occasional sexual relationship with Mercury. Cinder does have some anger issues and a need to be violent with others along with some arrogance about being the most prevalent mob boss in Vale. She also gets manipulative by seducing Emerald and blackmailing Taurus. Her mother, Salem (Emily Carter), notes that she always had signs of this even in her youth. Even acknowledging that Cinder doesn't even love her own mother. Mercury Black has an extremely blasé attitude about violence and killing. He casually murders people and shows no concern for anyone safety. Cinder even says she likes him because he shares his lack of moral hang-ups. He also tends to be laid-back when conversing with people, making him seem like a friendly guy and can keep up this façade when he has sex with Yang. She doesn't suspect a thing about him before Ruby told her to keep an eye on her clients. Adam "the Bull" Taurus is a low-functioning example. He is consistently aggressive and callous to others. He is notorious for killing his workers at random and is even seen doing this in his first scene. Considering that he's a human trafficker, that also shows how little he cares about people. Especially when he regularly rapes them, too. The Branwen twins have shades of this. They have no problem hurting others or putting them in danger to get what they want. In addition, Qrow is a manipulative liar who is superficially charming, while Raven is the one who is comfortable with human-trafficking. However, Raven still beats Qrow in this regard. Raping her gay brother to make him like women shows this. And Qrow's only disqualifying factor is his relationship with Harvey. Roman Torchwick is an organ trafficker who shows very little concern for the people he takes the organs from. He even admits that he isn't restricted by such moral restraints as having familial attachment like the people he threatens. He's also superficially charming like in canon. He helps Hazel find a transplant for his daughter, but he makes it clear that he has no attachment to him and only sees it as a business transaction. Officer Cardin Winchester is a Dirty Cop who gives information to mob bosses that could endanger his colleagues' lives all for money. The cinching factor is when he murders a suspect in cold blood because the man knows he's dirty. Downplayed for Dr. Arthur Watts. He's pragmatic and needs to make sure that people have matches for their organs, but he's still remorselessly aiding in organ-trafficking and only needs matches because people's bodies rejecting the transplants would be bad for business. Nia Poletti is unperturbed with Taurus's trafficking and even rapes some of those girls for herself. After she's done with them, she takes them to Torchwick for organ harvesting without Taurus' knowledge.

comment
Mr. Fanservice: Ren gets a rather detailed description of what he looks like when he's wearing only boxer-briefs. And Nora says she likes it because it helps "advertise the merchandise" — said "merchandise" is noted to be eight inches (something the writer admits isn't really relevant to the plot but couldn't help but admit). Mercury gets a bit of this as well. His described muscular figure and his apparent status as a Sex God certainly help with that. Chapter 18 shows that Sun still has his famous abs. Yang is practically drooling over them.

She shows up and remains very secretive. Subverted in Chapter 14 when a lot about them is revealed, including their real names.

Adaptational Villainy
 Vale's Underground (Fanfic) / int_20f689e9
comment
Adaptational Villainy: Cardin was a run-of-the-mill Jerkass in canon. Here, he's working with the villains. (Same goes for the rest of Team CRDL.) Not a case of Ron the Death Eater just because the writer hates him. As they note, they prefer writing villains. Qrow and Raven Branwen are mob bosses. Furthermore, many of Raven's sympathetic traits are dropped, especially after it is revealed that she sexually abused Qrow. At the very least, Adam wasn't a rapist in canon. And while he was Ax-Crazy, he didn't kill his own workers in his fits of rage for no reason. Downplayed with Ilia. She was an Anti-Villain and a Well-Intentioned Extremist before joining the heroes in canon. Here, she has no such higher purpose. She's just a criminal accomplice who is just trying to earn some money to put her chemistry knowledge to work. Also downplayed for Cinder. While Cinder Fall was a sadist, she was never seen killing her own subordinates for fun like how "Cinder" was in Chapter 11. In general, it portrays "Cinder" as borderline Ax-Crazy with a legitimate sexual fetish for violence. Cinder Fall was only unstable after her Sanity Slippage. Zigzagged for Nia Poletti, this story's version of Neo Politan. Nia is a rapist, but Neo isn't. While Neo is a killer, Nia hasn't killed anyone yet. Firmly played straight when it is revealed that she delivers the girls to Torchwick for organ-harvesting.

It seems that Penny has quite a fascination with all things macabre. The author notes that she is a big fan of the horror genre and became a cop to witness some gruesome things firsthand. She even offers to show Ruby and Blake pictures of a dead body that she saw on a case while investigating a man who was implied to be a necrophilic pedophile who was raping his daughter's corpse. Ruby and Blake (understandably) don't want to see it. Especially after hearing the details of the investigation.

Not Brainwashed: Cinder tries to frame Salem as the reason she is so messed up, but both she and Salem know that this isn't the case. Cinder was already a sadist and Salem knew that before getting her to kill her father. Cinder just holds a grudge against her and tries to pin her villainous behavior on her mother.

Mythology Gag: Doctor Oobleck insisting that he didn't get the Ph.D. for fun. The place where Sun gets shot in Chapter 12 is the same place where Ilia stabbed him in Volume Four. Tyrian screams "You bitch!" at Penny when she catches him. He shouted the same thing at Ruby on the show. Trifa's last name in this story, "Abella," means "spider." While she isn't a Faunus in this story, she was a spider-Faunus in canon. Cinder's stripper outfit is the spy suit from "Dance Dance Infiltration.".

At first, it seems like Qrow knows Weiss is in the closet because he knows how to hide his true nature. While that isn’t wrong, most would assume he means hiding his criminal side since he is about to go on TV and lie about not being connected to Raven. It was actually because he is gay and has been hiding it from his sister.

She even offers to show Ruby and Blake pictures of a dead body that she saw on a case while investigating a man who was implied to be a necrophilic pedophile who was raping his daughter's corpse. Ruby and Blake (understandably) don't want to see it. Especially after hearing the details of the investigation. Cinder is a disturbingly literal example. See Sex Is Violence.

Sexual Karma
 Vale's Underground (Fanfic) / int_2a4e8051
comment
Sexual Karma: Insanely zigzagged all over the place. While sexual practices seem to be featured rather prominently, they never have any direct correlation with morality. For the good characters: Ruby and Blake have a very loving relationship and have rather wholesome, vanilla sex. But when Weiss has sex with Yang, it is implied that they're going to get up to some freaky stuff on Weiss' request. She even gets into a pretty raunchy threesome with Yang and Pyrrha. Jaune is disappointing in bed due to his trouble with premature ejaculation when having sex with Pyrrha. And Ren was noted to be eight inches downstairs, something that Nora definitely enjoys. Coco is about to peg Neptune and implies that all the guys she has done this with have enjoyed it. And the Belladonna's old age has not diminished their sex lives a bit. For the evil characters: Cinder has sex with Mercury. While the sex is relatively vanilla, she gets aroused when Mercury starts talking about how they'll brutalize Taurus. However, Mercury is apparently pretty good in the sack. Yang says he's the only one of her customers that regularly makes her orgasm. On the flipside, Taurus rapes sex slaves and is extremely rough with his mistress. Qrow's relationship with Harvey is quite tame and they're both relatively amoral characters, but Raven regularly raped Qrow to make him straight. Salem is rather promiscuous and molested her daughter in the past. Junior has a small penis, but Cinder still enjoys sex with him because of how aggressive he can be with her.

Adaptational Sexuality
 Vale's Underground (Fanfic) / int_2bb06191
comment
Adaptational Sexuality: Several characters in this story have sexual orientations that are changed from what's established in canon with some cases being before any canon confirmations. Ruby is gay in this story whereas in canon there's nothing indicating such. Blake is a lesbian in this story. In canon, she had a relationship with Adam and an interest in Sun, and was established as a bisexual as of Volume 9 with her Relationship Upgrade with Yang. Weiss, who is heterosexual in canon (e.g. interest in Neptune and being charmed by Jaune in Volume 9), is a lesbian who isn't remotely attracted to men. Yang is a straight girl with a gay-for-pay streak in this story. In canon, while she's shown attraction to boys, she gets confirmed as bisexual in Volume 9 when she gets together with Blake. Qrow showed attraction to women in canon and sometimes made jokes about it. Here, he's gay and has no interest in women despite his sister's efforts to change that. After the Fall confirms that Coco is a lesbian in canon. This story made her bisexual before the novel was released.

Subverted for Cinder. While it's clear that Salem groomed her to be a mob boss, that's only because she saw that Cinder was already sadistic. Without Salem's guidance, it's likely that Cinder would've become an indiscriminate Serial Killer. While it could be argued that she even more dangerous as a mob boss, the fact of the matter is that Cinder was always villainous. Salem only put her on a focused path. Also, while Salem molesting her has some serious effects on her daughter's psyche, that only happened years after Salem started training her and a year after Cinder lost her virginity. It has absolutely nothing to do with why she's a villain. It only shows off some of her mental issues.

Cinder is rather sophisticated and controlled in the beginning, but after she finds out Salemspoiler her mother is coming, she seems to be losing her grip on that control and starts acting like an angry teenager. Taurus, of all people, calls her out on this. She get back under control later, but it seems that this side of her was always there.

Men Use Violence, Women Use Communication
 Vale's Underground (Fanfic) / int_4162ff7c
comment
Men Use Violence, Women Use Communication: A few examples that are played differently: Generally, while Cinder does like violence, she initially starts by throwing insults towards Taurus when he instigates a fight. Taurus goes straight for trying to beat her up. She does eventually fight him, but he was still the one to throw the first punch. Related to that, while Cinder is an excellent fighter and loves to commit violence, she tends to rely more on being cunning rather than confronting others. Even when she tortures people, she shows off the bodies to send a message to her opponents, not to start a fight. If she needs to go confront someone, she'll send Mercury first. She even tells him to not use force unless necessary when he needs to contact Taurus for a meeting. Averted between the Branwens. Not quite inverted since Raven still tries to break up the abovementioned fight, but Qrow is the one who takes care of political matters while Raven handles the streets. Genuinely inverted during the scene where she rapes him. Qrow tries to talk his way out of it, but Raven fully intends to rape him. Played straight when Taurus finds out that Nia worked for Torchwick behind his back. He physically assaults her and then rapes her, but she throws out insults to mock the fact that he was tricked for so long.

Would Hurt a Child: Implied for Taurus, the Branwens, and Tyrian. Cinder makes an offhand remark about Adam trafficking underage girls and says she wouldn’t put it past him if he had sex with one of them. Qrow implies that he and Raven are willing to hurt children if the situation called for it. The writer confirmsinvoked that his promise to Senator Calvin wasn't an empty threat. Tyrian implies that he'd be willing to kill Hazel's nine-year-old daughter.

comment
Ignored Enamored Underling: Emerald still has feelings for Cinder. While Cinder knows that Emerald is loyal, she isn't aware of her love for her. Subverted in Chapter 7 when Emerald makes her affections known and Cinder decides to return affection (even though it is rather shallow). However, Cinder still tends to neglect her (seemingly purposefully).

However, once Raven delivers the message to Cinder, the latter starts undergoing some kind of Sanity Slippage. Two in Chapter 14. Salem's greeting to Cinder and Cinder's response is the beginning of numerous revelations about them.

Cinder obviously has way too much enjoyment while beating up Robert. Her nickname comes from the fact that she likes to burn people alive to send a message. People think she's a pyromaniac, but Ruby suggests that this trope is more likely. She even gets turned on when Mercury's dirty talk to her consist of talking about brutalizing her enemies, implying that she's an outright sexual sadist.

Psycho Lesbian: A more harmless and quite literal version of the trope is mentioned. Ruby mentions having a girlfriend who pinned her down in the backseat of a car and tried to propose to her. Ruby even says that she may have been legitimately psychotic, yet relatively harmless — thus averting Insane Equals Violent.

Yang is straight, but since Weiss is willing to pay, she has no problem having sex with her. It's part of the job after all. It's not like she is attracted to all her clientele. Raven fails to understand that forcing Qrow to have sex with women won't make him straight. Neon unsuccessfully tries to proposition Flynt, who is gay.

Pragmatic Adaptation
 Vale's Underground (Fanfic) / int_603f1a80
comment
Pragmatic Adaptation: While there are many things that are outright different, several things from canon have been adapted to help things fit within the Alternate Universe Fic. Other things just had to be changed because it makes logical sense. The previously mentioned Age Lifts, Adaptation Species Changes, and Glynda's Adaptation Name Change. See those tropes above for more details. Cinder had outright fire powers on the show. In this story, she is just well-known for lighting people on fire to send a message to the point that people assume she's a pyro. The Branwen Bandit Clan becomes the Branwen crime family. On that note, being constantly drunk has an incredible number of drawbacks. Since he takes care of public relations for the Branwen crime family, Qrow has to be sober.

Salem shows signs of this with how willing she is to hurt others (even if it is only a last resort). The fact that she made Cinder kill her husband (and would have killed him herself if Cinder couldn't do it) shows that she didn't care that much about him in the first place. The only exception is her love for her daughter.

Shameless Fanservice Girl: One could say it comes with the territory for being a sex worker, but Yang goes above and beyond even by those standards. She even lampshades it when she has to take off her shirt in the middle of a coffee shop because Ruby made her spill her drinks on it. Cinder isn't ashamed of her body at all. In fact, she's quite proud of it. She enjoys the chance to go to Torchwick's club to perform a striptease to show it off to everyone there.

 Vale's Underground (Fanfic) / int_6bda9a30
comment
Meaningful Name: "Taurus" is still reflective of Adam's aggressive personality. So much so that people call him "the Bull." Mercury in Classical Mythology was the messenger god (and Hermes, his Greek equivalent, was known for it). Mercury Black serves as Cinder's personal hitman and sometimes has to act as a messenger, both by paying off Cardin and telling Taurus that Cinder wants a word with him. He is even referred to as a messenger in Chapter 7. Every member of the Carter family has one. For Cinder, "Kenna" means "born of fire." For Salem, "Emily" is derived from a word meaning "rival," illustrating Cinder's perception of her. "Ellis" means "kind" or "benevolent," and he was the White Sheep of the family. Trifa's last name "Abella" means "spider" — a Mythology Gag to her Faunus heritage in canon.

Antagonistic Offspring: While Salem loves Cinder and taught her what she needed to know to be a mob boss, she still sexually abused her, causing Cinder to develop a rather sour opinion of her.

Coming-Out Story
 Vale's Underground (Fanfic) / int_6f19054d
comment
Weiss' parents want her to marry a man so that they can have grandkids, so Weiss has a bit of trouble getting them to accept that she is a lesbian. Lying to Neptune also causes her stress since he genuinely fell in love with her. It is the setup of her Coming-Out Story.

 Vale's Underground (Fanfic) / int_71748a39
comment
Named by the Adaptation: Characters with Only One Name in canon are given additional names. Ozpin is given the first name "Victor." Vernal's full name in this story is "April Vernal." Trifa gains the last name "Abella." Little Miss Malachite is only known by that name in canon. With the revelation that she is the Malachite twins' mother, that would imply that her last name really is "Malachite," but nothing more can be said for sure in canon. Here, her name is "Jennifer Malachite."

In canon, Vernal was a bandit and likely wouldn't possess any similar skills on any level, and Ilia apparently dropped out an Atlas prep-school after beating up some other students.

STD Immunity
 Vale's Underground (Fanfic) / int_77a8fd8a

STD Immunity: Averted. Sex workers usually demand that their customers wear condoms. Yang even has to check to make sure that no one pokes holes in them. Weiss even goes to Yang with dental dams and latex gloves, and she puts condoms over the strap-ons that she uses. This is why it's such a big deal that Pyrrha has sex with Jaune without one. She trusts him enough to believe that he is also clean.

Establishing Character Moment
 Vale's Underground (Fanfic) / int_7febc23b
comment
Establishing Character Moment: Some characters just have their whole character laid out from the first moment we meet them. Here are some examples: The very first scene shows Ruby's tenacity and dedication to bringing Cinder. Mercury shows himself as the laid-back, sarcastic hitman in his very first scene. The first introduction to Blake shows how Ruby's relationship with her is. The first time we see Cinder, the story shows how ruthless and sadistic she is. Glynda shows off her strict yet caring nature towards Weiss. In turn, this shows off Weiss' aloofness due to hiding her sexuality. Cardin proves to be nothing but a sexually harassing asshole that only deserves hatred in his first scene. The fact that he's revealed to be a Dirty Cop later on shouldn't surprise anyone. Pyrrha and Jaune have a lot about them revealed in their first scene. Pyrrha shows that she's a Hooker with a Heart of Gold who deeply cares about Jaune, and Jaune shows that he's a socially awkward guy who has a crush on Weiss Schnee. Taurus' first scene shows how much of an aggressive and psychotic Bad Boss he is. Penny shows off a lot about herself in her first two scenes. Notably, her Nightmare Fetishism. Dr. Oobleck already shows off that he is just as eccentric as his canon counterpart. Salem's first two scenes show how intimidating she can be. However, she still remains rather mysterious. Sienna Khan's first moment shows her fervent protesting towards Ironwood.

Adaptational Nice Guy
 Vale's Underground (Fanfic) / int_82a64c4b
comment
Adaptational Nice Guy: Weiss fits her characterization after Defrosting the Ice Queen rather than how she was before. She is generally polite and timid rather than being a bitch, or even just a Jerk with a Heart of Gold. She may be snarky, but it's never with any malice. Downplayed in the case of Neptune. In canon he's a good-natured guy overall, but does possess some flaws including being a bit of a Casanova Wannabe. In this story he starts out as more of a plain Nice Guy lacking his canon flaws at the start. He even accepts the fact that Weiss is a lesbian after she confesses despite the fact that it clearly hurts him to know this. Jacques (infamous for being an Abusive Parent in canon) and Willow (who had a bad case of Parental Neglect) are genuinely Good Parents in this story. They are supportive of their daughter and treat her with love and affection. They even accept the fact that she's gay.

Rape Discretion Shot
 Vale's Underground (Fanfic) / int_8aa496df
comment
Rape Discretion Shot: One notable use of it is at the end of Chapter 14 when Salem begins groping and kissing Cinder. It seems to imply that she's about to molest her. Taurus raping Nia is also given a similar treatment. The scene is only described as him raping her and no detail is given. Only the leadup to it is thoroughly described.

Canon Character All Along
 Vale's Underground (Fanfic) / int_8d3349bb
comment
Canon Character All Along: It turns out that the "Panda Killer" is Tyrian Callows.note This wasn’t originally intended as the Killer was a one-off gag about Penny’s macabre fascination, but the writer wanted to include Tyrian and they decided to connect him to the alias. Nia Poletti seems like an original character at first glance, but then it was soon revealed that she's actually this story's version of Neo.

Glynda's last name is changed from "Goodwitch" to "Goodridge." As the author notes, no one in real life has the surname "Goodwitch" and it's less believable that "Ozpin."

Sleeping with the Boss
 Vale's Underground (Fanfic) / int_920b5728
comment
Sleeping with the Boss: Mercury is in a mutually recreational sexual relationship with Cinder. Vernal is technically Ilia's boss, and they are in a relationship. Emerald later enters a relationship with Cinder. Yang suggested that Glynda do this for Weiss, but Weiss says that their relationship is strictly professional… and Weiss already tried unsuccessfully to get this to happen. It seems that Nia actually works for Torchwick and they have sex in the next chapter after this is revealed.

Lousy Lovers Are Losers
 Vale's Underground (Fanfic) / int_93b92ca4
comment
For the good characters: Ruby and Blake have a very loving relationship and have rather wholesome, vanilla sex. But when Weiss has sex with Yang, it is implied that they're going to get up to some freaky stuff on Weiss' request. She even gets into a pretty raunchy threesome with Yang and Pyrrha. Jaune is disappointing in bed due to his trouble with premature ejaculation when having sex with Pyrrha. And Ren was noted to be eight inches downstairs, something that Nora definitely enjoys. Coco is about to peg Neptune and implies that all the guys she has done this with have enjoyed it. And the Belladonna's old age has not diminished their sex lives a bit.

Faux Affably Evil
 Vale's Underground (Fanfic) / int_95b7c400
comment
Faux Affably Evil: Cinder keeps up a civil attitude in most times and even has a flirtatious tone when torturing someone. Mercury is a casual, laid-back guy just like in canon. He's also a ruthless mob hitman. Qrow is able to hold up his charming demeanor even when he's threatening Senator Calvin. Roman keeps up his charismatic attitude even when threatening people's lives and loved ones. Salem's affability is genuine around others, but it comes off as condescending when she's talking to Cinder, underscoring her abusive nature. Little Miss can act with her typical southern hospitality act, but it quickly drops when she's admonishing Junior.

Promiscuity After Rape
 Vale's Underground (Fanfic) / int_963c6133
comment
Promiscuity After Rape: Seemingly implied, but ultimately subverted. Near the end of Chapter 14, it is said that Cinder wouldn't let Salem control her body anymore. It seems to suggest that some of her sexual behavior is possibly due to Salem molesting her, but this is negated by Salem's statement earlier in the chapter. She says that Cinder was already having sex with boys before Salem had sex with her.

Unproblematic Prostitution
 Vale's Underground (Fanfic) / int_98ba5dfe
comment
Unproblematic Prostitution: Subverted. Even though it is legal and without general stigma, sex work isn't unproblematic. Yang still has to deal with unruly customers and she has to check condoms to make sure that people didn't try to poke holes in them without her knowing. It's better since they can at least go to the police without fear of being arrested, but it still isn't a perfect profession. It is even noted that while she enjoys the job generally, Mercury is the only one of her customers who regularly makes her orgasm without her having to fake it.note To drive that point home, Yang once joked that she'd give a discount for every orgasm she gets and the narration says that she wouldn't be making as much money off of Mercury if she did that.

Foreshadowing: At first, it seems like Qrow knows Weiss is in the closet because he knows how to hide his true nature. While that isn’t wrong, most would assume he means hiding his criminal side since he is about to go on TV and lie about not being connected to Raven. It was actually because he is gay and has been hiding it from his sister. Additionally, the fact that Raven sexually abused Qrow was foreshadowed by her flirtatious behavior towards him.

Sex Is Violence
 Vale's Underground (Fanfic) / int_9e0d0926
comment
For the evil characters: Cinder has sex with Mercury. While the sex is relatively vanilla, she gets aroused when Mercury starts talking about how they'll brutalize Taurus. However, Mercury is apparently pretty good in the sack. Yang says he's the only one of her customers that regularly makes her orgasm. On the flipside, Taurus rapes sex slaves and is extremely rough with his mistress. Qrow's relationship with Harvey is quite tame and they're both relatively amoral characters, but Raven regularly raped Qrow to make him straight. Salem is rather promiscuous and molested her daughter in the past. Junior has a small penis, but Cinder still enjoys sex with him because of how aggressive he can be with her.

Adaptation Dye-Job: The writer mentioned that Emerald's hair won't be green. Adam's hair is brown rather than dark red. Downplayed for Salem despite the Adaptation Species Change. Salem’s skin is still noted to be rather pale, she has red irises, and her hair is white. However, this is within the bounds of a Pragmatic Adaptation. Nia is this story's version of Neo. However, Nia's hair is uniformly brown. While she does have heterochromia with one of her eyes being brown, her other eye is blue whereas Neo's is pink. (And they obviously don't switch at random.) Salem before her dip in the Grimm pool was a blonde with blue eyes and normally pale skin. This story makes her eyes red naturally, and gives her white hair with pale skin.

Instant Death Bullet: Generally played straight, but there are a few notable aversions: Taurus shoots a sex slave several times in a fit of rage, but she isn't dead when he leaves the room.

The same applies to the burglar that Blake shot in Chapter 12.

Downplayed in the case of Neptune. In canon he's a good-natured guy overall, but does possess some flaws including being a bit of a Casanova Wannabe. In this story he starts out as more of a plain Nice Guy lacking his canon flaws at the start. He even accepts the fact that Weiss is a lesbian after she confesses despite the fact that it clearly hurts him to know this.

 Vale's Underground (Fanfic) / int_b032e4ed
comment
Ms. Fanservice: Yang and Pyrrha are sex workers and are two of the bustiest characters in the show. Yang's fanservice factor is more pronounced, but Pyrrha's is downplayed in the narrative. Despite her violent sadism, there are still quite a few people who would want to bang Cinder. She is definitely aware of it, and the narrative often praises her appearance.

Jacques (infamous for being an Abusive Parent in canon) and Willow (who had a bad case of Parental Neglect) are genuinely Good Parents in this story. They are supportive of their daughter and treat her with love and affection. They even accept the fact that she's gay.

Sadist
 Vale's Underground (Fanfic) / int_b39d5719
comment
Sadist: Cinder obviously has way too much enjoyment while beating up Robert. Her nickname comes from the fact that she likes to burn people alive to send a message. People think she's a pyromaniac, but Ruby suggests that this trope is more likely. She even gets turned on when Mercury's dirty talk to her consist of talking about brutalizing her enemies, implying that she's an outright sexual sadist. Implied with Taurus since it is said that he usually only has sex with girls who aren't willing.

Precision F-Strike: Penny generally follows Gosh Dang It to Heck!, but when she tells Russel about Mitch, she asks him to pardon her crassness when she gives the popular saying about Mitch. Pyrrha doesn't swear at all. Or at least, not outside of her reaction to finding out that Yang set her up to have sex with Weiss Schnee: Sienna gives one based on timing. She was using formal diction in the debate and in her conversation with Weiss, but considering how composed she was beforehand, the profanity provides a contrast between that and her true feelings.

However, the way Cinder's thoughts are described after accepting this love suggests that she's only toying with her. The fact that Salem molested her when she was younger complicates things further.

Insane Troll Logic: Raven's logic about wanting to make Qrow straight involves raping him and seducing him to get him used to the idea of women doing that to him. While you can see how she came to that conclusion, it falls apart when you really look into the details, starting with the fact that being his sister already makes him averse to the idea.

 Vale's Underground (Fanfic) / int_c660bc15
comment
Fan Disservice: Several Examples: Surprisingly, a lot of things involving Cinder. She would be a plain Ms. Fanservice if she wasn't so goddamn sadistic. The way that Cinder licks blood off her hands after beating up Robert is described as sensual, but considering the context, it is meant to be seen as disturbing. Mercury having sex with Cinder would usually be fanservice. However, the titillation kinda ends when Mercury's dirty talk involves him talking about how they'll brutalize their enemies and Cinder getting progressively more aroused by it. Kissing Dave after cutting his tongue while tasting the blood is all kinds of Squickinvoked. When she seems to be going through a bit of a Sanity Slippage, she starts being more violent during sex. The sex scene with Neptune and Weiss. Due to the Weiss not being interested in it as a result of her homosexuality in this story, the idea isn't really as sexy as it could be otherwise. Raven's attempts at seduction could be pretty sexy… if she wasn't trying to use them on her twin brother. Adam's second scene in the story has him in the middle of raping a poor crying girl while he chokes her. He later shoots he several times before one of his workers has to Mercy Kill her. Raven raping Qrow is not portrayed as sexy in any way (and it shouldn't be). Salem pushing herself on Vernal and caressing her is played more for tension rather than fanservice. Especially when she starts threatening Vernal. Taurus violently face-fucking his mistress to the point that she can't breathe isn't really the most titillating thing in the world. Later on, his mistress is seen raping one of his sex slaves as well. Not all of Yang and Pyrrha's clients are desirable, and those encounters are sometimes shown such as in Chapters 6 and 11. Salem feeling up Cinder after the latter has stripped to her underwear is just incredibly uncomfortable since Salem is her mother in this story. After the sexy striptease that Cinder put on, it is followed up with another stripper... who has been stripped of her skin. Even worse, in the middle of a threesome with Mercury and Emerald, Cinder can't stop thinking about the gruesome act. It's the reason she was so turned on in the first place.

The fact that Nia was still working for Torchwick under his nose shows he doesn't have as much control as he thinks.

Shout-Out
 Vale's Underground (Fanfic) / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: Cinder mocks Roman by saying that he looks like he's auditioning for a theatrical production of A Clockwork Orange, likely a reference to the fact that Roman is a Captain Ersatz of Alex. The writer mentions that they're such a Batman fan that the idea of a lawyer named "Harvey" may have just been a subconscious Two-Face reference. Mercury's quip about people without hands still technically being alive is a reference to Victor Zsasz's similar line in Gotham. Glynda's cup size being G is apparently a Deadman Wonderland reference. Mercury’s line near the end of Chapter 9 is a reference to Red vs. Blue. The scene in the strip club where a stripper is skinned alive is a reference to Brian Azzarello's Joker. There is a line from Dragon Ball Z Abridged:

Unspoken Plan Guarantee
 Vale's Underground (Fanfic) / int_c82e751f
comment
Unspoken Plan Guarantee: It seems like this is how things go. The good guys’ plans tend to be laid out in the story and something usually goes wrong with them. The bad guys, on the other hand, have most of their plans obscured until their execution and they go off without much of a hitch. Additionally, nothing about Weiss’ plan to meet with Yang the first time was explained, and no one ended up finding out about it. The only major exceptions are the Branwens’ plan to manipulate the public on a talk show and Weiss’ plan to meet up with Yang and Pyrrha. Both were explained in extensive detail and didn’t go awry. Cinder's plan to get Salem to meet up with her also goes exactly as planned.

Freudian Excuse
 Vale's Underground (Fanfic) / int_c868a42a
comment
Freudian Excuse: Subverted for Cinder. While it's clear that Salem groomed her to be a mob boss, that's only because she saw that Cinder was already sadistic. Without Salem's guidance, it's likely that Cinder would've become an indiscriminate Serial Killer. While it could be argued that she even more dangerous as a mob boss, the fact of the matter is that Cinder was always villainous. Salem only put her on a focused path. Also, while Salem molesting her has some serious effects on her daughter's psyche, that only happened years after Salem started training her and a year after Cinder lost her virginity. It has absolutely nothing to do with why she's a villain. It only shows off some of her mental issues. Sienna Khan has her reasons for political activism and her hatred towards the mob. She used to have a husband and a daughter. When they were on their way home from a friend's birthday party, they were killed in a mob dispute. She lost faith in the government when she found out that the cop working on the case was a Dirty Cop, explaining why the case took so long to get anywhere in the case.

Pragmatic Pansexuality: Yang is an openly straight sex worker. However, she's also willing to briefly put aside her preferences if a woman has the money for her services. Chapter 9 shows the same of Pyrrha, albeit a more reluctant case than Yang, when she hesitantly joined Yang in servicing Weiss after some convincing regarding the higher payment offered by Weiss.

comment
Adaptational Wimp: With this being a real-world AU, this trope is obviously going to show up a lot with the removal of things like Battle Auras, Semblances, and Impossibly Cool Weapons. However, there are a few notable examples of how this is played: Downplayed with Yang and Pyrrha. They are good fighters and can defend themselves when things get tough, but they are not nearly on the same level as their canon counterparts. Pyrrha especially is not a world-renowned warrior. Weiss isn't even a fighter. Roman has been made into an Evil Cripple. Nora is a school teacher and has shown no fighting abilities so far. Emerald is more reserved and meek compared to her rough-around-the-edges street-smart canon counterpart. RWBY!Emerald is a Dark Action Girl, but VU!Emerald is a Non-Action Girl. Neo Politan is a dangerous killer, but Nia Poletti is merely Adam's mistress. Subverted when it is revealed that she can carry a fully grown woman on her own.

Combat Sadomasochist: It is implied that Cinder is a bit masochistic in battle as well as being sadistic. Not entirely out of character considering both Aggressive Submissive and Powerful People Are Subs apply to her. When Mercury spars with her, she deliberately loses fights to get him to beat her up. Mercury lampshades it by asking if it's supposed to be fighting or foreplay. Cinder's response is a simple "yes."

Action Girl: The only one of the girls who doesn't reprise her role as this from canon (so far at least) is Weiss. Even as sex workers, Yang and Pyrrha hold their own against a group of perverts at a bar. And Yang often has to deal with unruly customers. Dark Action Girl: Cinder issues a Curb-Stomp Battle to Taurus. While she usually works from the shadows and relies on being cunning, that scene shows that she is no pushover.

 Vale's Underground (Fanfic) / int_dc057cf3

Adaptation Name Change: "Cinder" is only a codename, and her real name is Kenna Carter. It is similar to when this trope was used for Kilgrave. Similarly, “Salem� is also a codename, and her real name is Emily Carter. Glynda's last name is changed from "Goodwitch" to "Goodridge." As the author notes, no one in real life has the surname "Goodwitch" and it's less believable that "Ozpin." Dove Bronzewing becomes Dave Bronzewing. "Vernal" was assumed to be the character's first name in canon. Here, it's her last name with her first name being "April." Though it'll be a bit tough to notice since she goes by a Last-Name Basis most of the time. It turns out that Nia Poletti is actually Neo Politan. Flynt's last name is changed from "Coal" to "Cole." Notably averted with Neon Katt. The writer planned for that to just be a nickname, but after some digging, they it could plausibly be a real person's legal name.

Chekhov's Gunman: Blake and Sun arrest some lunatic who stabbed someone to death. Some more observant readers and fans might recognize that it's Tyrian Callows and may just think it's a cameo at first. Then Hazel mentions that Tyrian is someone that can help him with Torchwick's organ trade, suggesting that it was no mere cameo and he'll be more involved in the story later. Nora's connection to Velvet helps her when Ren notices that she's being taken in by Cardin. Since he knew her from the concert, he was able to get in touch with Nora as soon as he recognized her. This saved Jaune and his friends a lot of trouble.

All Women Are Lustful: Several women can be just as perverted as the men. Yang especially stands out as one notable example since she is always excited to have sex with Mercury. Even though she makes him pay first, she pulls him just as soon as he produces the money. (Cinder and Vernal are equally lustful.note Interestingly, Vernal admits to wanting to have sex with Cinder if she wasn't a sadistic pyromaniac.)

Hate Sink: Cardin is shown to be an abrasive and misogynistic pig who sexually harasses female co-workers, including the lesbians Ruby and Blake, and he is generally an asshole. Even worse, he is revealed to be a dirty cop. Nobody in the story on either side of the law likes him and even the author hates him. The only person who has ever met him and not loathed him is Penny, and she has absolutely no idea how terrible he is. Ruby has to stop her from making friendly conversation with him. Every appearance only shows him drawing the scorn of everyone in the scene. Even with people like the Serial Rapist Taurus, the homophobe Raven, and the child abuser Salem, he stands out. The latter two have some redeeming traits that make them interesting, and the first is not vilified to the same extent as Cardin. Due to some ambiguous wording, some people thought that he had killed Mercury and were going to drop the story before realizing the mistake and the author said he'd never let him have that satisfaction.

Dirty Kid: Tyler, one of Nora's third-graders, makes a joke about Nora sleeping with Ren, something that Nora immediately reprimands him for.

comment
Cardin was a run-of-the-mill Jerkass in canon. Here, he's working with the villains. (Same goes for the rest of Team CRDL.) Not a case of Ron the Death Eater just because the writer hates him. As they note, they prefer writing villains.

Evil Old Folks: Salem may not be nearly as old as her canon counterpart, but she’s still plenty old and seems to be quite villainous.

Silver Fox: Mercury can't deny that Salem is attractive, even in her 60s. Then again, he Likes Older Women. Age does not seem to have diminished Mr. and Mrs. Belladonna's sex appeal.

Adam's second scene in the story has him in the middle of raping a poor crying girl while he chokes her. He later shoots he several times before one of his workers has to Mercy Kill her.

Would Hit a Girl
 Vale's Underground (Fanfic) / int_f42f96fa
comment
Would Hit a Girl: Adam Taurus. He tries to fight Cinder in his opening scene. He also rapes a girl, tosses her on the ground, and shoots her several times in an unrelated fit of rage. Qrow is willing to shoot and fight Raven. Although, Chapter 7 shows that he has a very good reason to do so.

Cinder isn't ashamed of her body at all. In fact, she's quite proud of it. She enjoys the chance to go to Torchwick's club to perform a striptease to show it off to everyone there.

 Vale's Underground (Fanfic) / int_ff7f34c5
comment
Pet the Dog: Hazel's relationship with his family. Despite the horrible things he does to other people to support them and save his daughter, he loves them genuinely and shows that he's not a totally bad guy. He even feels remorse about his job, which is more than can be said for the people he works with and for. Torchwick helping Hazel find a transplant for his daughter. While he makes it clear that he has no emotional investment in Hazel's plight and only sees it as a business transaction, the fact that he's doing it at all and keeping his word on this deal is quite generous of him.

comment
Shown Their Work: The writer spent some time looking up the symptoms of childhood sexual abuse to portray Qrow’s trauma properly. The writer also mentions if you look up videos of the Smith & Wesson Model 500 shooting melons, you'll see that the description of what happens when Cinder headshots some unfortunate Mooks isn't a huge exaggeration. Salem is portrayed with Narcissistic Personality Disorder in mind, and it certainly shows. Cinder's reaction to Salem's sexual abuse was also portrayed with a certain level of realism. And Salem's actions do mirror realistic abusive behaviors.
