* Fics where Weiss is forced into an ArrangedMarriage by her abusive father, prompting a lot of tears and romantic angst with whoever her love interest happens to be (usually [[FanPreferredCouple Ruby]]). [[note]]As of the end of Volume 7, arranged marriages have never even been ''mentioned'' in canon.[[/note]]

* Emerald, being based off of Aladdin, will steal the Relic of Knowledge and ask Jinn the final question. A common theory for this is that Emerald will ask Jinn about Cinder and whether she actually cares for Emerald.

A common theory for this is that Emerald will ask Jinn about Cinder and whether she actually cares for Emerald.[[note]]A similar scenario ended up playing out in Volume 8, with a twist. Oscar explains Salem's ultimate goal (and, unspokely, Cinder's support of it) to Emerald and Hazel and tells them how to summon Jinn; when they do so, they decline to use the third question to confirm his words because Jinn appearing already showed he was being honest with them. Hazel and Emerald make plans to smuggle Oscar out and then steal the Relic, but Neo [[SpannerInTheWorks steals it first]].[[/note]]

* Upon their first meeting, Weiss tries to get Pyrrha to team up with her, rightfully seeing the championship fighter as the strongest of the prospective students. Many fans take it that Weiss is romantically interested in Pyrrha, even though she never bothers Pyrrha again after the teams are formed. A few fanworks take it even further and portray said interest as [[StalkerWithACrush obsessive.]]

* Any crossover that involves one of the other franchises in ''VideoGame/BlazBlueCrossTagBattle'', will make plenty of [[MythologyGag MythologyGags]] to the game. However, ''Franchise/BlazBlue'' and ''Franchise/{{Persona}}'' tend to have the most crossovers with ''RWBY'' due to how the former has many similarities to ''RWBY'', and the latter having a school setting.

* Since Jaune's Semblance was unknown for so long, many fics center on a hypothetical one, which is usually ridiculously overpowered and often creates the whole plot (especially common with time travel Semblances). After his Semblance was revealed in canon, these fics died down, but they still do happen.

* A concept that saw a spike in popularity after ''Fanfic/WeissReacts'' is where the cast will be put in a theater setting to "watch" themselves be put in different scenarios based on existing works and comment on it, a'la ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000''. With a few exceptions, Jaune serves as the lead in these vignittes (and to that end, won't be in the audience).

** While on the topic on the BetrayalFic. Some other characters besides Ruby can be as prominent to this. The RWBY team as a whole can be subjected to the BetrayalFic (wheter be one of them or the whole team). Also same goes for Jaune Arc, leader of Team JNPR, though equally/more than prominent as Ruby Betrayal Fanfics.
