Lullabies may not always end on a high note and fairy tales may not always be what they seem but Summer Rose, Willow Schnee, Kali Belladonna, Raven Branwen are women with their own powerful ability - being a mother.
Lullabies and Fairy Tales by TheLittleTeacupp is a RWBY fanfic that revolves around RWBY's mothers— Summer, Willow, Kali, and Raven. Each chapter is a oneshot revolving around a specific mother.
