History Fanfic / RemnantsReclaimer

* KaleidoscopeEyes: Yang's and Taiyang's [[labelnote:Canonicity?]]Yang's are confirmed in the "Yellow" Trailer and in Volume 1 of canon ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'', but Taiyang's are shown in Volume 3, Episode 12 to be light blue and not shown to change color up to the end of Volume 4.[[/labelnote]] eyes change from lilac to red when they're angered.

** [[spoiler:Yang dies instead of Pyrrha in Rose's future, Weiss loses her arm instead of Yang, and Ruby loses her eye instead of Cinder (Cinder and Roman are personally killed one after the other by Ruby)]].

** Canon!Cinder Fall is certainly villainous, but her motives are still largely unknown. In this fic, her aim is to [[spoiler:become the queen of Vale, despite the fact that Vale hasn't been a monarchy for over 500 years]], and is willing to murder thousands of people in order to get it. She also [[spoiler:is responsible for the violent direction that the White Fang has been taking in recent years, having secretly killed the previous leader in a coup d'etat]].

** [[spoiler: Future!Cinder's decades-long plan completely wiped out the Huntsmen and Huntresses of Vale. She killed nearly half the students of Beacon in one sitting by poisoning a graduation feast (of the staff, only Dr. Oobleck survives) - and Future!Ruby describes this as "one of the least of her crimes." She repeatedly unleashed Grimm on towns and villages in order to undercut faith in Hunters, then "rebelled" with the support of much of the population of Vale behind her. On top of that, she prevented the other three kingdoms from interfering by declaring it a civil war, tying them up politically. The only reason Cinder lost was because of Future!Team [=RWBY=], who she inadvertently trained to become deadly huntresses by sending fodder at them, enabling them to last long and become strong enough to deplete her officer base – if they hadn't been there, Cinder would have won easily]].
** [[spoiler: Future!Ruby and co's present-timeline covert-op in Thousand Homes allowed her to obtain, among other data, files for Present!Cinder's "Operation Maskfall," a plan to assassinate [[MissingMom Raven]] [[IWorkAlone Branwen]]. True to its name, it contains very specific details on [[TeleportersAndTransporters Raven's abilities]] and limitations and contingencies to exploit those weaknesses and enable [[YourTerroristsAreOurFreedomFighters the White Fang]] to kill her]]. Future!Ruby says that this is ''just one of'' Cinder's evil plans, and that others are ''even better''.

* ShipToShipCombat: InUniverse, Rose uses this to trick [[CovertPervert Blake]] into [[SayingTooMuch admitting she did read]] ''[[PornStash Ninjas of Love]]''.

* SortingAlgorithmOfEvil: [[BigBad Future!Cinder]] sent out [[EliteMooks her ranking officers with Huntsman training]] when [[{{Mooks}} low-level conscripts]] failed to kill [[BadassCrew Future!Team RWBY]]. This failed, as [[FutureMeScaresMe Future!Ruby explains to a distraught Present!Team RWBY]], because [[TaughtByExperience Future!Team RWBY killed them all]], leading [[VillainousBreakdown Future!Cinder]] to PutThemAllOutOfMyMisery.

%%While we haven't reached an official consensus regarding the use of "Future!Ruby" vs. "Rose" on examples on this page, it might be a good idea to use the former when the time-travel aspect of her identity is relevant or when Present!Ruby acts differently from her in the example, and in any case to consistently use the same name within any single example of the same trope.

* BadassGrandpa: Ren is kin to "the most dangerous man in the world, his grandfather, Vacuo's '[[AwakeningTheSleepingGiant Slumbering]] [[RedBaron Dragon]].'"

* CanonDiscontinuity: As this fanfic was written before Volume 3 of WebAnimation/{{RWBY}} aired, a lot of events and characters in the fic are different from canon, such as [[spoiler:Pyrrha not dying in Rose's future, Yang not losing an arm in the future (instead it's Weiss who loses hers), Qrow's Semblance or Cinder being the BigBad, as Salem wasn't revealed yet.]] Mercury and Emerald also have different surnames in this fic, and Winter is stated to be younger than Weiss, unlike in canon.

** Canon!Cinder Fall is certainly villainous, but her motives are still largely unknown. In this fic, her aim is to [[spoiler:become the queen of Vale, despite the fact that Vale hasn't been a monarchy for over 500 years]], and is willing to murder thousands of people in order to get it. She also [[spoiler:is responsible for the violent direction that the White Fang has been taking in recent years, having secretly killed the previous leader in a coup d'etat.]]
** Weiss' father. Rose flat-out calls him a slaver and the most morally repugnant being on Remnant, short of Cinder herself. Weiss doesn't take this well, [[spoiler: especially once Rose provides video evidence of her father's depravities. Thankfully, she gets better.]]

* ClosetKey: [[spoiler:Rose talks Yang into realizing [[LoveEpiphany she has a crush on Weiss]], and informs her that, due to Weiss's upbringing, Yang might have to be a Closet Key to Weiss herself before Weiss can reciprocate her feelings]].

** [[spoiler: Future!Cinder's decades-long plan completely wiped out the Huntsmen and Huntresses of Vale. She killed nearly half the students of Beacon in one sitting by poisoning a graduation feast (of the staff, only Dr. Oobleck survives) - and Future!Ruby describes this as "one of the least of her crimes."

* GenderNeutralWriting: Instead of calling the heroes "Huntsmen" and "Huntresses" like canon ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'' does, this fanfic uses "Hunter" to refer to both sexes, like the Japanese dub.

* KaleidoscopeEyes: Yang's and Taiyang's [[labelnote:Canonicity?]]Yang's are confirmed in the "Yellow" Trailer and in Volume 1 of canon ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'', but Taiyang's are still unconfirmed as of Volume 3.[[/labelnote]] eyes change from lilac to red when they're angered.

'''[[FutureBadass Future!Ruby]]:''' [[TheHeartless The Grimm]], [[GangBangers gangsters]], [[LesCollaborateurs traitors]], [[ProfessionalKiller assassins]], [[BigBad Cinder]], [[EliteMooks her]] [[MookLieutenant lieutenants]], [[YourTerroristsAreOurFreedomFighters the White Fang]], [[TheDragon Roman Torchwick]], [[PsychoForHire Neo Politan]]...

* OhMyGods: Several characters swear by Dust, and later by [[Creator/MontyOum Oum]]. The latter almost became a FunnyAneurysmMoment in the wake of [[AuthorExistenceFailure Monty Oum's death]]. One reviewer, however, suggested that the author keep using it, as a tribute to the man himself.

** Apparently, Huntsmen and Huntresses can earn these if they become skilled enough. Names include "Duchess" Glynda, Taiyang the "Unassailable Aegis", Qrow "the Hewer" and "Man of Many Masks" (though he dislikes the latter, as being famed for secrecy is oxymoronic), and Future!Ruby the "Crimson Harvest" (according to her war passcard) - which, as Lie Ren notes, is too ominous a title to be casually given to her or self-applied.

* SophisticatedAsHell: After Present!Team [=RWBY=]'s [[CurbStompBattle ill-advised spar with Future!Ruby]], [[SirSwearsALot Yang]] thinks [[{{Ojou}} Weiss]] "calling someone a sadistic whore had never sounded so classy."

--> '''Qrow:''' Ozpin, what is your stance on teachers murdering students in a blood rage?\\

'''Qrow:''' What if they were getting rid of only the stupid ones? Raising the standards of the school, as it were?\\

** In Chapter 6, Future!Ruby [[TheTease flirts with Glynda in front of Ozpin and Team RWBY]] by saying that [[BeautyIsNeverTarnished Future!Glynda had maintained her beauty through the passage of time]], but in Chapter 15 she tells Ozpin, Glynda, Taiyang, and Qrow that a poisoned end-of-year feast [[KillThemAll killed all the Beacon staff except for Dr. Oobleck]], without excluding Glynda.

%%While we haven't reached an official consensus regarding the use of "Future!Ruby" vs. "Rose" on examples on this page, it might be a good idea to use the former when the time-travel aspect of her identity is relevant or when Present!Ruby acts differently from her in the example, and in any case to consistently use the same name within any single example of the same trope.

* [[spoiler:DidYouJustHaveSex]]: [[spoiler:Taiyang's horrified and Qrow's amused reactions to Rose's discarded clothes left behind in Glynda Goodwitch's office]], and [[spoiler:Team RWBY's reaction to the photo of said finding taken by Ozpin]].

* [[spoiler:IllBeInMyBunk]]: A variation - After Rose's TrainingFromHell, a later relaxing Weiss manages to avoid sharing her dwindling supply of bath salts with Yang by [[spoiler:telling her that their shower has multiple different pressure settings. Yang almost immediately declares that she's going to take a bath, then hastens to clarify to Weiss (and Blake, who's also there) that [[ThatCameOutWrong she didn't mean]] ''[[ADateWithRosiePalms that]]'' [[ShowerOfLove kind of bath]]]]...

* [[spoiler:ScrewYourself]]: [[spoiler:Future!Ruby invoked this during the forest training trip to troll Present!Team [=RWBY=] and later Taiyang and Qrow.]] Reactions include MassOhCrap, NoJustNoReaction, ThisIsWrongOnSoManyLevels, LetUsNeverSpeakOfThisAgain, LuminescentBlush, ThousandYardStare, WeirdnessCensor, and RapidFireNo.

* GenreSavvy: Lie Ren knows the [[BadassCrew power]], [[FamedInStory reputations]], and even [[RedBaron sobriquets]] of Glynda, Qrow, Taiyang, and Rose. He knows that it's normal for people to team up in groups of four like they're doing, but when [[AvengersAssemble the four greatest badasses that Ozpin can find are assigned to another mission together]] after [[PyrrhicVictory their last joint mission (mere weeks ago) got them all nearly killed]], he knows they've approached or crossed the GodzillaThreshold and that ThisIsGonnaSuck.

* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: [[NominalImportance Izhar]] [[HeroKiller the Ravager]]. Rose is a heroine, but Lie Ren notes that her code name "Crimson Harvest" is too uncommon and ominous for her to be anything less than a [[TheAce top-ranking]] {{Badass}}.

** [[spoiler: Future!Ruby and co's present-timeline covert-op in Thousand Homes allowed her to obtain, among other data, files for Present!Cinder's "Operation Maskfall," a plan to assassinate [[MissingMom Raven]] [[IWorkAlone Branwen]]. True to its name, it contains very specific details on [[TeleportersAndTransporters Raven's abilities]] and limitations and contingencies to exploit those weaknesses and enable [[YourTerroristsAreOurFreedomFighters the White Fang]] to kill her]]. Future!Ruby says that this is ''just one of'' Cinder's evil plans, and that others are ''even worse''.

* HulkSpeak: Qrow invokes this at one point to mock Taiyang, who flips him off for it.

-->'''Yang:''' If I wasn't so [[ParentalSexualitySquick disturbed]], I'd probably be impressed at how easy you just psyched out dad and uncle Qrow. Especially uncle Qrow.

** [[spoiler:The morning after seducing Glynda]], Rose jokes to [[spoiler:Taiyang that [[GetTheeToANunnery she'd been to a nunnery]], but [[ThePornomancer the nuns just couldn't keep up with her]]. [[SarcasmBlind Taiyang's response]] implies that [[ReallyGetsAround he really did do such a thing]], to Rose's surprise. Qrow says he had never seen [[SourPrudes a seventy-year-old woman so angry]].]]

* PsychoForHire: Neo is described as such by Future!Ruby, who (despite calling her [[ColdBloodedTorture a sadist and torturer]]) claims that Neo is "not evil" and may possibly be bribed away from Cinder's side.

* TheTease: Rose has grown up to become this. Apparently it's a [[InTheBlood Xiao Long thing]].
** Though as of recent chapters, it's started to become more of TheGadfly.

* YouNeedToGetLaid: Yang jokes like this about [[SternTeacher Glynda]] [[HotWitch Goodwitch]], [[spoiler:but she (and the rest of Team RWBY) is shocked (and [[DidYouJustHaveSex Yang is amused]], and [[CovertPervert Blake is turned on]]) when [[RhetoricalRequestBlunder Rose does successfully seduce Glynda]].]]

** Apparently, Huntsmen and Huntresses can earn these if they become skilled enough. Names include "Duchess" Glynda, Taiyang the "Unassailable Aegis", Qrow "the Hewer" and "Man of Many Masks" (though he dislikes the latter, as being famed for secrecy is oxymoronic), and Future!Ruby the "Crimson Harvest" (according to her war passcard) - which, as Lie Ren notes, is too ominous a title to be applied casually.

* ExplainExplainOhCrap: Rose barrages Yang with a series of questions about [[spoiler:her treatment of Weiss, to which Yang responds with [[BelligerentSexualTension complaints that her support is unappreciated and Weiss is frustrating her]]]]. Rose finishes by [[spoiler:[[ClosetKey asking if Yang wants Weiss to find her beautiful]]]], to which Yang answers, "[[spoiler:''[[BigYes Yes!]]'' [[LoveEpiphany That's ex-...]]]] ''[[BigOMG ohhhh myyyy goddd.]]''"

'''[[FutureBadass Future!Ruby]]:''' [[TheHeartless The Grimm]], [[GangBangers gangsters]], [[LesCollaborateurs traitors]], [[ProfessionalKiller assassins]], [[BigBad Cinder]], [[EliteMooks her lieutenants]], [[YourTerroristsAreOurFreedomFighters the White Fang]], [[TheDragon Roman Torchwick]], [[PsychoForHire Neo Politan]]...

* AbsurdlySharpBlade: Future!Crescent Rose has one, made of "dust reinforced steel with a small diamond edge."

** [[spoiler:Future!Ruby exploits this to troll Team RWBY by pretending to seduce Present!RWBY. Not only do Team RWBY react with OhCrap faces ([[LuminescentBlush except]] [[CovertPervert Blake]]), but when Rose later explains [[ThousandYardStare their faces]] to Taiyang and Qrow by saying that she "[[InstantSeduction seduced]] [[[OverprotectiveDad Taiyang]]]'s [[AmbiguousSyntax daughter]]," each looks between [[CoolBigSis Yang]] and [[ChildrenAreInnocent Ruby]] before [[WeirdnessCensor nodding, turning around, and walking away]] with a [[RapidFireNo rapid-fire]] "[[LittleNo nope]]."]]

** Chapters 3 and 4 show Weiss, Blake, and Yang horrified to see Future!Ruby cleaning human blood and gore off her Crescent Rose, but in Chapter 2 she leaves it in the dorm while she takes a shower and [[GunNut Present!Ruby]] examines it in front of the rest of her team without anyone noticing or commenting on any blood. It may be that said bits were caught up in the internal gearworks instead of dripping off the blade, but the story doesn't elaborate.
** In Chapter 6, Future!Ruby [[TheTease flirts with Glynda in front of Ozpin and Team RWBY]] by saying that [[BeautyIsNeverTarnished Future!Glynda had maintained her beauty through the passage of time]], but in Chapter 15 she tells Ozpin, Glynda, Taiyang, and Qrow that a poisoned end-of-year feast [[KillThemAll killed all the Beacon staff except for Dr. Oobleck]].

(The mixed bag [[OhCrap became decidedly less mixed]], after that.)

%%While we haven't reached an official consensus regarding the use of "Future!Ruby" vs. "Rose" on examples on this page, it might be a good idea to use the former when the time-travel aspect of her identity is relevant or when Present!Ruby acts differently from her in the example, and in any case to consistently use the same name within examples of the same trope.

* SeriesContinuityError: Not counting [[{{Jossed}} discrepancies with canon]] ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'' (that is, considering only what appears in this fic), Chapters 3 and 4 show Weiss, Blake, and Yang horrified to see Future!Ruby cleaning human blood and gore off her Crescent Rose, but in Chapter 2 she leaves it in the dorm while she takes a shower and [[GunNut Present!Ruby]] examines it in front of the rest of her team without anyone noticing or commenting on any blood. This could possibly be explained by said bits being caught up in Crescent Rose's internal gearworks as opposed to just dripping off the blade or whatever but no official elaboration is provided.

* ShipToShipCombat: InUniverse, Rose uses this to trick [[CovertPervert Blake]] into admitting she did read ''[[PornStash Ninjas of Love]]''.

* DangerouslyGenreSavvy: Cinder. [[spoiler: Her decades-long plan completely wipes out the Hunters of Vale.

She repeatedly unleashes Grimm on towns and villages in order to undercut faith in Hunters, then "rebels" with the support of much of the population of Vale behind her.

* AbnormalLimbRotationRange: A variation - [[spoiler:Blake can arch her back like a cat, beyond the limits of human flexibility. She downplays and justifies the standard version of the trope by practicing yoga.]]

* CutenessProximity: Ruby's reaction to Blake's cat ears is to {{squee}} and try to {{glomp}} her.

* ExplainExplainOhCrap: Rose barrages Yang with a series of questions about [[spoiler:her treatment of Weiss, to which Yang responds with [[BelligerentSexualTension complaints that her support is unappreciated and Weiss is frustrating her]].

-->'''Taiyang:''' Only him. Only he could get hit in the face with ''acid'' and come out prettier than he was before.

** [[TaughtByExperience Future!Ruby]] tells [[GunNut Present!Ruby]] she ''knows'' adding [[FireBreathingWeapon a flamethrower]] to [[SinisterScythe Crescent]] [[SniperRifle Rose]] is a bad idea.

* GunNut: Weiss jokes that she thinks Present!Ruby would replace her living teammates with talking guns if she could.

!!Remnant's Reclaimer contains examples of:

* NoodleIncident:

* [[spoiler:ScrewYourself]]: [[spoiler:Future!Ruby invoked this during the forest training trip to troll Present!Team [=RWBY=] and later Taiyang and Qrow.]] Reactions include MassOhCrap, NoJustNoReaction, LetUsNeverSpeakOfThisAgain, LuminescentBlush, ThousandYardStare, WeirdnessCensor, and RapidFireNo.

* BelligerentSexualTension: [[spoiler:Rose describes Yang and Weiss as]] "the textbook definition of sexual tension."
-->[[spoiler:'''Rose:''' You are quite fucking ''literally'' fire and ice.]]

* ButtMonkey: Cardin Winchester. Given the [[{{Jerkass}} usual]] [[FantasticRacism tropes]] attached to him, though, [[AssholeVictim it's difficult to feel any sympathy]].

* ClosetKey: [[spoiler:Rose talks Yang into realizing she has a crush on Weiss, and informs her that, due to Weiss's upbringing, Yang might have to be a Closet Key to Weiss herself before Weiss can reciprocate her feelings]].

* CovertPervert: Blake. Thanks to Rose, though, the "covert" part is now debatable.

* ExplainExplainOhCrap: Rose barrages Yang with a series of questions about [[spoiler:her treatment of Weiss, to which Yang responds with [[BelligerentSexualTension complaints that her support is unappreciated and Weiss is frustrating her]]. Rose finishes by asking if Yang wants Weiss to find her beautiful, to which Yang answers, "''[[BigYes Yes!]]'' [[ClosetKey That's ex-...]] ''[[BigOMG ohhhh myyyy goddd.]]''"]]
* EyepatchAfterTimeskip: Future!Ruby had lost an eye in a mishap during a routine skirmish, some years from now.

* GunNut: Weiss jokes that she thinks Present!Ruby would replace her teammates with talking guns if she could.

** [[spoiler:The morning after seducing Glynda]], Rose jokes to [[spoiler:Taiyang that [[GetTheeToANunnery she'd been to a nunnery]], but [[ThePornomancer the nuns just couldn't keep up with her]]. [[SarcasmBlind Taiyang's response]] implies that [[ReallyGetsAround he really did do that]], to Rose's surprise. Qrow had never seen [[SourPrudes a seventy-year-old woman so angry]].]]
** Taiyang once used [[HavingABlast his]] [[DropTheHammer Malwr]] to [[MundaneUtility hammer some nails]]. A dorm barracks had to be 3/4 rebuilt from the ground up.

* NotSoAboveItAll: After [[spoiler:Rose seduces Glynda, Rose gets a message on her scroll the next morning with a photo of Taiyang and Qrow in Glynda's office, with a dismayed Taiyang holding Rose's forgotten clothes and Qrow laughing his ass off. Given to whom she had explained her situation, Rose deduces that Ozpin took and sent the photo.]]
* NotSoStoic: Happens twice to Ozpin. The first is when he mistakes Rose for [[StrongFamilyResemblance her mother Summer]], so shocked that he ''drops his coffee mug''. The second is when he learns of Cinder's attack on Beacon in the future.

* RougeAnglesOfSatin: Misspelled names include Dr. Bartholomew Oobleck ("Ooblek"), Taiyang Xiao Long (usually "Tai-Yang Xiao-Long", but variations also appear), and Velvet Scarlatina ("Scarletina"); otherwise they're mostly [[WantonCrueltyToTheCommonComma misplaced apostrophes]] and the occasional missing article (a/an/the). They don't detract from the story too much, but they can still be jarring when they appear.

* SophisticatedAsHell: After Team [=RWBY=]'s [[CurbStompBattle ill-advised spar with Rose]], [[SirSwearsALot Yang]] thinks [[UpperClassTwit Weiss]] "calling someone a sadistic whore had never sounded so classy."

-->'''Rose:''' Hello, everyone. My name is Professor Rouge Rose, but you may address me as Miss, Professor, or Rose. I am your new combat instructor, and this ''(slaps the wall behind her, drawing up shades and revealing a chalkboard with '''Avoiding the pointy end - 101''' written on it)'' is your new class.\\

* YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe: Taiyang's response when he sees Qrow's ''acid-burn'' [[GoodScarsEvilScars "good" facial scar]].

* CutenessProximity: Ruby's reaction to Blake's cat ears is to {{squee}} and try to {{glomp}} her.

* CurbStompBattle: Rose takes on all of Team RWBY at once in a match, ''bare-handed''. They don't even last a minute, or land a single hit on her. Somehow, Pyrrha and Ren aren't surprised by the match's outcome.
** Rose vs Future!Torchwick. Torchwick didn't even last a whole minute.

* NoodleIncident: [[TaughtByExperience Future!Ruby]] tells [[GunNut Present!Ruby]] she ''knows'' adding [[FireBreathingWeapon a flamethrower]] to [[SinisterScythe Crescent]] [[SniperRifle Rose]] is a bad idea.

** Taiyang [[IShallTauntYou taunts Izhar the Ravager]] by saying, "[[Film/MontyPythonAndTheHolyGrail Your muzzer was a 'amster]], [[Memes/MontyPython and your father smelt of el-]]"

* TragicKeepsake: Future!Ruby has Future!Yang's bloodstained scarf, which has "''Property of Yang Xiao Long, official badass''" inscribed inside; she shows Present!Yang, who checks and confirms that it matches her own scarf.
