1''Ivory Bones'' by Victorian Asylum is a short ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'' oneshot that can be read [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10651548/1/Ivory-Bones here]].
2
3The fic is themed around Weiss' family life and her relationship (or lack thereof) with her father. It predates Volume 5 and, as a result, deviates from canon in many regards. ''Ivory Bones'' is also a Weiss/Blake fic, but the ship isn't the main theme of the fic.

5!!This fanfic provides examples of:
6
7* AbusiveParents: Weiss' father is emotionally and physically abusive towards her. If it was up to him, she wouldn't have received any affection growing up.
8* BittersweetEnding: The fic ends on a solemn, ambiguous ending where Weiss leaves Blake in the bathroom due to not wanting to confront her feelings for her.
9* DarkFic: Weiss' background is even more abusive than in canon and she's far more troubled.
10* DatingWhatDaddyHates: Defied. Blake is the very embodiment of what Weiss' father hates. Weiss is attracted to Blake but she doesn't want to drag her into her troubled life.
11* HurtComfortFic: Weiss discusses her abusive home life with Blake. Blake comforts her.
12* EveryScarHasAStory: Weiss received her facial scar when she was sparring with her father. He intentionally slashed her across the face to show her that MeeknessIsWeakness.
13* MissingMom: There's no mention of Weiss' mother. Due to the story predating Volume 5, it's likely she's dead (as she is in many older fics).
14* ParentalNeglect: Weiss' father interacts with her in the bare minimum. For the first few years of her life, he barely even did that.
15* SlashFic: It does have a Weiss/Blake element, but this only pops up at the tail-end of the story. The two end up kissing.
16* TrophyChild: Weiss was raised by her father to act as his trophy child.
