History Fanfic / RemnantsReclaimer

** In Chapter 12, Future!Ruby claims that Yang's Semblance of fire- and lava-immunity was discovered when Future!Yang fell into an active volcano's magma and emerged unharmed but naked with her clothes burned off. However, Aura is shown in canon (and is not contraindicated in this fic) to protect the person's held items and worn belongings (such as clothes and weapons, including armor and improvised weapons) in addition to the person's body. At least this is kept consistent later when Yang removes one glove to pat out a campfire with her bare hand.

* FeedItABomb: Taiyang throws [[DropTheHammer Malwr]] down Izhar's gullet. The results are... [[ThrowDownTheBomblet about what]] [[LudicrousGibs you'd expect]].

* LudicrousGibs: The natural result of [[spoiler: swallowing a '''Reusable''' [[ThrowDownTheBomblet Kinetic-explosion]] [[DropTheHammer Hammer]]]], as Izhar learns to its cost.

** Taiyang's weapon [[DropTheHammer Malwr]] contains what is known as a Reusable Kinetic Grenade. Without his [[DeflectorShields Semblance]] to enable him to shut it off manually, it would never ''stop'' exploding.

** Taiyang once used [[ThrowDownTheBomblet his]] [[DropTheHammer Malwr]] to [[MundaneUtility hammer some nails]]. 3/4 of a dorm barracks had to be rebuilt from the ground up.

** [[SternTeacher Glynda Goodwitch]] and [[CloudCuckooLandersMinder Lie Ren]] react like this to the aftermath of [[BruiserWithASoftCenter Taiyang]] and [[GenkiGirl Nora]] training (present and near-immediate future) with [[ThrowDownTheBomblet their]] [[GrenadeLauncher respective]] [[DropTheHammer weapons]].

* ChickMagnet: To [[OverprotectiveDad Taiyang's chagrin]], Future!Ruby "[[UnusualEuphemism has already grown into]] [[InTheBlood her Xiao Long genes]]."

** [[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 [[GoodBadGirl Yang]] and [[ChildrenAreInnocent Ruby]] before [[WeirdnessCensor nodding, turning around, and walking away]] with a [[RapidFireNo rapid-fire]] "[[LittleNo nope]]."]]

* 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 official Japanese dub.

At least this is kept consistent later when Yang removes one glove to pat out a campfire with her bare hand.

* 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]]]]...

* NamedWeapons: Besides Team [=RWBY=]'s, Taiyang's hammer is named [[NoPronunciationGuide Malwr]] and Qrow's scythe is named [[Myth/ClassicalMythology Orcus]].

* NoPronunciationGuide: Malwr, the name of Taiyang's war hammer[=/=]reusable bomb.

* FreudianThreat: Taiyang expects Glynda to "freeze, then consequently shatter, his testicles" if she ever caught him peeping at her (which he was more or less doing at the time, what with him staring at her [[{{Gainaxing}} bouncing breasts]]). She does catch him... [[SubvertedTrope but instead]] she threatens to [[EyeScream gouge his eyes out]].

* {{Gainaxing}}: Taiyang notices Glynda doing this, then berates himself for [[spoiler:ogling his (future) daughter's bedmate]].

** 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. Then again, [[TheTease she might have said that for the sake of flirting]].

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

* ChewingTheScenery: Chapter 29 opens with Rose and Glynda watching [[GenkiGirl Nora]] leave [[OneOfTheKids Taiyang]]'s training class. [[StereotypeFlip Taiyang cries while Nora plays the "grizzled, stoic hero saying goodbye to her ladylove."]] [[{{Corpsing}} Hammers and explosions forever, baby.]]

(The class's response was a mixed bag of [[StunnedSilence stunned silence]], [[ThisIsGonnaSuck growing dread]], and [[{{Corpsing}} smothered laughter]].)\\

* MoodRingEyes: 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.

* OhMyGods: Several characters swear by [[GreenRocks Dust]], and later by [[Creator/MontyOum Oum]]. The latter almost became a FunnyAneurysmMoment in the wake of [[AuthorExistenceFailure Monty Oum's death]].

* SeriesContinuityError: Not counting [[{{Jossed}} discrepancies with canon]] ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'' (that is, considering only what appears in this fic):

* MyFutureSelfAndMe: Future!Ruby and Present!Ruby bond over [[{{Adorkable}} weapons and cookies]].

* NeverLiveItDown: InUniverse.
** Defied by Future!Ruby when she decides that this is a reason ''not'' to seduce Glynda Goodwitch in her office while Taiyang lies fainted in the same room.
** Future!Ruby and Present!Blake discuss the former's (and her teammates') reactions to finding out about [[CovertPervert Blake]]'s ''[[ShowWithinAShow Ninjas of Love]]'' [[PornStash novel series]].
--->'''Present!Blake:''' I'd never hear the end of it.\\
'''Future!Ruby:''' You never do.

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

Is now a featured fic in ''Fanfic/WeissReacts''. Also, [[DeadFic it hasn't been updated in a long time.

Is now a featured fic in ''Fanfic/WeissReacts''.

* TakeThatKiss: When Rose acts like TheTease in front of Taiyang, he jokes that she'll "corrupt the children," then expresses belief that Future!Ruby is still too innocent regarding romance and sexuality. Rose reacts by French-kissing [[SternTeacher Glynda]] [[HotWitch Goodwitch]] in front of Taiyang and Ozpin.

** Weiss's and Blake's relatives are changed from canon, [[labelnote:Changes]]In canon, Weiss has an older sister named Winter (V3 C03), a younger brother named Whitley (V4 C02), and a father named Jacques Schnee (V4 C02, pre-marriage surname Gele); in this fanfic, Weiss is the elder sister (her age is unchanged), Winter is described as younger than Weiss, and their mother became sterile after delivering Winter, so there's no Whitley. Blake's canon parents (V04 C05) are described in this fic as having different Faunus traits than in their canon presentation.[[/labelnote]] and [[LastNameBasis Lie Ren]] has a surviving grandfather and is treated as if his name uses Eastern naming conventions (family name Lie, personal name Ren) when canon (V4 C10) reveals that Lie is his personal name and his past-deceased parents had the surname Ren.

** 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]].
** 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]].

* CrazyPrepared: The Hunters apparently even have a code and a passphrase for TimeTravel!
-->'''Rose:''' Situation 'Reelection' period seven years, four months. Confirmation code: 'Clipped wings, further flight.'\\

'''Rose:''' Level two confirmation: 'Sky burns overhead.'\\

* FutureMeScaresMe: Whenever Rose gets a murderous look in her eye or reminds Team RWBY that she is a cold-blooded killer, Present!Ruby shivers. Yang's not happy about what Ruby becomes, either.

* NeverLiveItDown: InUniverse, Future!Ruby and Present!Blake discuss the former's (and her teammates') reactions to finding out about [[CovertPervert Blake]]'s ''[[ShowWithinAShow Ninjas of Love]]'' [[PornStash novel series]].
-->'''Present!Blake:''' I'd never hear the end of it.\\

* RageBreakingPoint: Over the course of Chapters 22 and 23, Yang had been struggling to keep her temper in check after a '''whole week''' of discovering just how inhumane the Schnee Dust Company is to its Faunus workers under Weiss's father, and watching Weiss gradually break down in horror in the face of all the incontrovertible evidence of such atrocities. Then after Blake outs herself as a Faunus to Team RWBY, Yang notices scars on one of Blake's ears... the legacy of ear-markers that she had already seen on way too many Faunus that were practically slave laborers for the SDC. Cue Yang rushing to the gym to vent her now uncountable outrage at the realization that '''her partner''' was one of the SDC's countless victims.

* RequiredSecondaryPowers: Yang's fire Semblance grants her immunity to fire damage. Combined with her Aura, she can even withstand the raw heat and pressure of molten lava. Somehow, this doesn't extend as much to her outfits.

* StrongFamilyResemblance: Future!Ruby looks – and sounds – so much like her late mother Summer, that several characters mistake her for her at first glance, including Ozpin and ''her own father''. Taiyang notes later that Rose is taller than her mother was.
* SuggestiveCollision: In Chapter 16, [[spoiler:Weiss accidentally causes one between Yang and herself. By pulling off Yang's (borrowed) ModestyTowel while she stepped out of the bathroom after a shower. And Blake]] caught them in the act.

* TakeThatKiss: When Rose acts like TheTease in front of Taiyang, he says that she'll "corrupt the children." Rose reacts by French-kissing [[SternTeacher Glynda]] [[HotWitch Goodwitch]] in front of Taiyang and Ozpin.

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

* RequiredSecondaryPowers: Yang's fire semblance grants her immunity to fire damage. Combined with her Aura, she can even withstand the raw heat and pressure of molten lava. This doesn't extend as much to her outfits.

** [[spoiler:Yang, Qrow, and possibly Taiyang have different Semblances [[labelnote:FanFic Semblances]]Yang: immunity to fire and lava; Qrow: sound relocation; Taiyang: protective barriers.[[/labelnote]] than they do in canon [[labelnote:Canon Semblances]]Yang: converting received damage into strength (V2 C04); Qrow: bestowing bad luck (V4 C08); Taiyang: unspecified (as of V4 C12)[[/labelnote]]]].
** [[spoiler:Cinder is portrayed as the BigBad, as Salem hadn't been revealed yet, and Mercury and Emerald have different surnames in this fic ("Selth" and "Harron") than in canon (Black and Sustrai)]].
** [[spoiler:Weiss's and Blake's relatives are changed from canon, [[labelnote:Changes]]In canon, Weiss has an older sister named Winter (V3 C03), a younger brother named Whitley (V4 C02), and a father named Jacques Schnee (V4 C02, pre-marriage surname Gele); in this fanfic, Weiss is the elder sister (her age is unchanged), Winter is described as younger than Weiss, and their mother became sterile after delivering Winter, so there's no Whitley. Blake's canon parents (V04 C05) are described in this fic as having different Faunus traits than in their canon presentation.[[/labelnote]] and [[LastNameBasis Lie Ren]] has a surviving grandfather and is treated as if his name uses Eastern naming conventions (family name Lie, personal name Ren) when canon (V4 C10) reveals that Lie is his personal name and his past-deceased parents had the surname Ren]].
** [[spoiler:In this fanfic, [[LittleBitBeastly Faunus]] don't mix-and-match traits from different-species parents and have at most one major trait if one parent is human, but add together traits from same-species Faunus parents. Canon Faunus (V4 [=WoR=]: Faunus) have only one animal feature, which matches one parent if both are same-species Faunus or one is Faunus and the other human and is random if both parents are different-species Faunus]].

* FeedItABomb: Taiyang throws [[DropTheHammer Malwr]] down Izhar's gullet. The results are... [[HavingABlast about what]] [[LudicrousGibs you'd expect]].

* IShallTauntYou: Taiyang does this to distract [[HeroKiller Izhar]] [[RedBaron the]] [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Ravager]] at a critical moment, allowing [[spoiler:Glynda]] to land a crippling blow on the Grimm.

* LudicrousGibs: The natural result of [[spoiler: swallowing a [[HavingABlast Reusable]] [[StuffBlowingUp Kinetic-explosion]] [[DropTheHammer Hammer]]]], as Izhar learns to its cost.

** Taiyang once used [[HavingABlast his]] [[DropTheHammer Malwr]] to [[MundaneUtility hammer some nails]]. 3/4 of a dorm barracks had to be rebuilt from the ground up.

** [[SternTeacher Glynda Goodwitch]] and [[CloudCuckooLandersMinder Lie Ren]] react like this to the aftermath of [[BruiserWithASoftCenter Taiyang]] and [[GenkiGirl Nora]] training (present and near-immediate future) with [[HavingABlast their]] [[GrenadeLauncher respective]] [[DropTheHammer weapons]].

* 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 official Japanese dub.

* CutenessProximity: Ruby's reaction to Blake's cat ears is to {{squee}} and try to [[TheGlomp tackle-hug]] her.
