7	''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10357413/1/Wizard-of-Ships Wizard Of Ships]]'' is a ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'' CrackFic by General RTS. It outlines Professor Ozpin's attempts to ship his students together.
8
9	----
10	!! The following tropes can be found in ''Wizard Of Ships'':
11
12	* BabiesEverAfter: Both Pyrrha and Cinder settled down with ''their husband'' and had many blonde haired children together.
13	* BelligerentSexualTension:
14	** Ozpin made Ruby leader to fuel this between her and Weiss.
15	** ''Mercury and Emerald still insist they're just "friends". No one believes them.''
16	* BlatantLies: When Ruby discovers his Shipping Notebook, Ozpin decides to try and pretend it isn't his...even when Ruby points out that his name is written on the cover.
17	** Ozpin claims the secret surveillance cameras in the dorms are actually a backup in case someone (like Cinder) ever decided to hack the main system, and NOT a way to monitor and manipulate students into entering relationships together.
18	* ChildhoodFriendRomance: Ozpin dodges accusations of being manipulative by pointing out that Ren and Nora, being this trope, 'were already together' long before he ever met them. Jaune reluctantly agrees.
19	* DieForOurShip: Invoked. Ozpin is horrified when Neptune and Weiss flirt, but can't think of a way to kill him without causing an international incident. Glynda convinces him not to.
20	** Qrow then explains that Neptune, being a CasanovaWannabe, would inevitably break Weiss' heart, causing her to fall right into Ruby's arms (which is Ozpin's preferred ship).
21	* {{Expy}}: And TitleDrop, Ozpin is a shipper that interests multiple pairings.
22	* TheExtremistWasRight: Ozpin has an epic MotiveRant to this effect in Chapter 2. It convinces Jaune not to oppose his machinations.
23	-->"You won't get away with this!"\
24	"Won't I, Mr. Arc? Won't I?" Ozpin challenged. "Because I think you will find that I very much will. For you see Mr. Arc, no matter how disturbingly deviant or diabolically deceitful you might find my actions, the truth of the matter is that [[PunctuatedForEmphasis you. are. happy.]] Ultimately, you are blissfully content with the outcome of my machinations just like the other members of Team RWBY and JNPR. And deep in your heart, you know that if you had the chance go back in time and stop me, you wouldn't. You are happy with the partner and the team you ended up with. You wouldn't have it any other way nor could you ever bring yourself to regret them no matter how this good fortune came about. So tell me Mr. Arc, '''WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO!?'''"
25	* HappilyEverAfter: The entire epilogue. No one is left behind.
26	* ItAmusedMe: Ozpin allowed Jaune into Beacon because he thought Jaune would make a good romcom protagonist.
27	-->Jaune stared at Ozpin in disbelief. "You accepted me into your school... despite knowing full-well my transcripts were fake... ''because you thought my love life would be funny!''"
28	* LoveRedeems: How did Ozpin successfully stop Cinder's evil masterplan? By shipping her with Jaune Arc.
29	* ManBehindTheMan: While Ozpin is dedicated to shipping his students, Qrow ships on a much bigger scale and is the one who taught Ozpin to ship.
30	* TheMentor: Qrow is Ozpin's mentor in the ways of matchmaking. He later becomes one for Nora who succeeds him as the next generation Ship-Master.
31	* MoralityPet: Glynda is the only person who can get Ozpin to see reason where shipping is concerned.
32	* ObliviousToLove: Ozpin is oblivious to Glynda's...although that doesn't stop her from taking him on a date. [[spoiler:It's implied that Qrow is shipping them behind the scenes]].
33	* OnlySaneMan: Glynda is the only character who's opposed to Ozpin's shipping and ''not'' a part of it. [[spoiler: She eventually enters a relationship with Ozpin, different in that it came into being without any of Ozpin's manipulations.]]
34	* ShipperOnDeck: Ozpin and Qrow.
35	* ShoutOut: Ozpin's justification for shipping Jaune with Pyrrha is that a similar pairing worked in ''Manga/RosarioPlusVampire''.
36	** "[[Franchise/StarWars I sense a disturbance in the yuri.]]"
37	* TakeThat: The fic takes a few potshots at the common fan theory that Ozpin let Jaune into Beacon because he 'recognized his potential'.
38	* TheChessmaster: '''Ozpin''', who openly aspires to be like [[Manga/{{Bleach}} Aizen]] and [[Anime/CodeGeass Lelouch]]. He has several long speeches about how everything romantic that happens in Beacon can somehow be traced back to him.
39	* ThePowerOfLove: Discussed in Chapter 2.
40	-->"Sir, I don't think love is a physical force that can stop us from being mauled by a grimm."
41	* {{Tsundere}}: Discussed. Ozpin specifically identifies Weiss as a type A.
