** ''Comments'': A fun ForWantOfANail story that imagines what would have happened if, for some reason, Summer Rose was carrying Ruby with her on the day she died, and Cinder Fall happened to be in the area. The early chapters carry a lighthearted and comedic tone, following Cinder as an overprotective mother and a toddler Ruby endearing herself to pretty much everyone she meets, from "big sister" Neo and "Uncle" Roman to even Salem. And the fic manages to keep much of it even as the story advances to delve into more serious material and moments, which become more and more common as the author starts adapting the show proper, as Ruby enters Beacon Academy with the goal of killing the Fall Maiden. The fic also gets bonus points for being pretty much the only Cinder!Mom AU (and one of the few Adopted!Ruby [=AUs=], for that matter) that hasn't been abandoned after a few chapters. Comes with its own version of [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12743239/1/RWBY-Chibi-My-Little-Fire-Flower-Edition RWBY Chibi]].

** ''Comments:'' A fic that retells the events of Volume 9 while deconstructing Team RWBY's actions over the course of the Solitas arc and their treatment of Ruby herself throughout, told mostly from the Curious Cat's perspective. It's a treat to read from start to finish due to how well it takes the UnintentionallyUnsympathetic traits Team RWBY and Jaune are written with in canon and runs with them to create a riveting story with several twists and turns that only add to the reading experience and help tie up a lot of loose ends.

** ''Comments'': Named as a [[JustForPun joking reference]] to ''{{Film/Goodfellas}}'', this is one of the best crime works that this troper's seen amongst the RWBY fandom so far, and the author's writing skill has shot up since their previous work. Despite a slow update schedule (one chapter at the start of each month), this story contains well-written fight scenes and a decent blend of comedy, lust, and graphic violence that most readers would find satisfying. Of particular note is the level of research on the cars, weapons, and events of the story's setting (which, for the most part, is southern Sydney in early 1989). A word of warning, though: in two of the chapters, there are rape and torture scenes present (which are pertinent to the plot, it must be said). However, the former of these scenarios won't be featured in the story after these, as promised by the writer.

** Comments: Gut-busting hilarity abounds, some off-color humor is involved, but then again, it's * ''[[CrossesTheLineTwice Cards Against Humanity]]'', which is the whole point. Ren gets a very interesting sense of humor, and deadpans some of the funniest cards and responses.

** ''Comments'': Despite the somewhat vague summary, the story itself is a well written (both in terms of content and grammar) and interesting ride. The plot runs parallel to the series canon and the author has made it a point to make sure that the events of the main plot don't change for the most part, with only slight alterations when they do. Mind you, this doesn't mean the OC characters don't interact with the main cast, they do, but they're all well done and add depth to the main plot. You could easily see this story with its characters existing in RWBY canon. It even has its own side story called * ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10098591/1/XTRA-Resolve XTRA: Resolve]]'', which covers material not seen in the main fic, at least, for the most part. The characters are great, have their own lives, and while the focus is on the protagonist, we still learn about them as well. Easily one of the best RWBY OC stories out there, I can't recommend it enough.
