This is deliberately invoked by the powers that be -- those three anomalies are all so widespread that the chance to hide them from the public is long gone, and the only other option is to draw a stark line between ''these'' things that are ''obviously'' real and these ''other'' things that are ''obviously'' just tall tales and conspiracy theories.

* LoopholeAbuse: Blake finally convinces Jaune to stop being cagey about what's going on by 'becoming' an employee -- applying (demanding he hire her so they can both live), interviewing (answering one incidental question), and getting her first pay in advance (grabbing money out of his wallet).

* OverpopulationCrisis: Vale is said to be having one in the first chapter, something both Blake and Jaune note. It's revealed that the whole run-down neighborhood they're both stuck in doesn't actually exist and is an illusion, because that much abandoned housing makes no sense.
* SapientHouse: Blake first gets exposed to ARC Corp and the secret world of paranormal phenomena they tangle with when she becomes the victim of one: a living creature in the shape of a house that uses illusions to lure prey inside to digest. Skeletons are littered throughout the house's interior (especially the basement), the interior and exits are all far tougher than real material, and instead of pipes and wiring underneath the walls there is ''pulsating flesh''.

->”''There are many things that go bump in the night. Too many to count. It's our job to give it our best shot however, and to make sure that little boys and girls believe it the monster under their bed or in their closet, and not the creature outside their window looking in with hungry eyes.''”

After leaving the White Fang, Blake Belladonna finds that starting a new life was difficult when you didn’t have any recent records or background info that wouldn’t expose you as a former terrorist. Running low on options short of applying to Beacon, she decides to look into a missing person case so that she can get some of the reward money.
But when she’s lead to a run-down house by a little girl, she finds something beyond what she could have expected.

!!This fic contains examples of:
* AlternateUniverseFic: Remnant here has far more threats than just the Grimm, and Jaune’s family run a company that deals with said threats.
* TheAtoner: Hundreds of years ago, ARC Corp tried to use anomalies for their own benefit rather than actively contain them. This resulted in a massive security breach that destroyed most of their facilities, and Jaune’s family was among the survivors. They’ve been working to repent for this ever since.
* CrapsackWorld: Remnant in canon was already crappy enough with the Grimm running around, but here it also has numerous anomalies that have claimed many lives in the past.
* FamilyBusiness: ARC Corp is run by Jaune’s family, who have been a part of the company for generations. Jaune himself has started working there
* FunWithAcronyms: According to Jaune, ARC Corp stands for '''A'''nomalous '''R'''esearch and '''C'''ontainment '''Corp'''oration.
* TheMasquerade: ARC Corp upholds one as part of their mission to contain anomalies.
* MeaningfulRename: According to Jaune, hundreds of years ago there was a series of security breaches that destroyed most of their facilities and killed most of its staff. Jaune’s family were among the only survivors, and they swore to repent for letting the breaches happen, naming themselves Arc after the company so that they’ll always remember the crimes they committed.
* OurVampiresAreDifferent: Jaune brings up an anomaly called the “Blood that Feeds”, a disease that gives victims a craving for blood. They’ll remain alive so long as they continue to consume blood, but their bodies will eventually rot away until they’ll essentially “walking sacs of blood”. The mythical vampire was made up as part of a cover story when the disease broke out across Mistral a few hundred years ago.
* OverpopulationCrisis: Vale is said to be having one in the first chapter, something both Blake and Jaune note.
* ShoutOut: The Blood that Feeds, the anomalous blood disease Jaune brings up in the first chapter, seems to have been inspired by [[Wiki/SCPFoundation SCP]]-[[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-610 610]], the Flesh that Hates. They even have similar names.
* TakeThat: Jaune delivers one to ''Literature/{{Twilight}}'' and other supernatural fiction by describing the Blood that Feeds, an anomalous blood disease that served as the inspiration for the vampire myth in-universe, outright stating that it’s nothing like popular media has said about them. Blake even decides to burn her fantasy novels after hearing him.
