RWBY

Wilted

by Lonessa

"Hey, at the very least I made a friend out of it."Mercury Black, due to a chance meeting, is assigned to get close to Ruby Rose and become a part of her inner circle. It seemed easy enough. The girl was ditsy and trusted easily, and it took him only a couple one on one talks until he was in. What he didn't plan for was actually starting to care for her. With the rest of Team RWBY ready to strike if he breaks the cookie loving huntress's heart and his boss breathing down his neck for intel, Mercury finds himself in an uncomfortable predicament. Stay bad, or turn good? He never thought he would get the choice before, that's for sure.Story Arcs:Beacon - 1-48Reformation - 49-75

Loved by (Almost) No One

by asamis_jodhpurs

Mercury is eight when his father joins up with Salem's faction and takes a post in Vale, and it takes him no time at all to decide that he hates every last thing about the city except for maybe this green-haired pickpocket.Emerald's never had a friend before, and she really should know better than to start with this angry weirdo who ruined her latest heist.Or, two murder children learn to protect and care for each other while growing up in genuinely awful circumstances.Featuring snark, gratuitous literary references, and misdemeanors galore, this is the Partners in Crime childhood best friends AU that I hope to god somebody asked for.

Home to Roost

by The_Escaped

“Mercury’s going to stay with me for a while,” Uncle Qrow said. He took the other container and started eating standing up too, leaning on the counter.“Really?” Dad said, in the voice he wanted to use to trick people into thinking they weren’t in trouble, “And where are you staying then?”It's Brawl in the Family AU but Qrow finds out about Mercury when he's a kid.

Its Brawl in the Family

by The_Escaped

“So what, we just run away?” Emerald wanted to know. Her face had gone twisted and haggard. “Salem will hunt us down. Cinder would do it on her own, if we-” She couldn’t even say the words.“I have an idea,” he said slowly, “You’re gonna hate it.” Or, the one where Mercury and Emerald get the fuck out of dodge, and get more than they bargained for in the process.

Mercury Dunk

by ravenndei628

Suletta is a basketball prodigy with much potential to unlock, and a huge lack of confidence to realize this. Miorine is the team manager who has unwavering confidence in Suletta, driven by a secret motivation to push Suletta to success.In short: yes they do fall in love here, yes they are cute here, yes there is no angstInspired by the Suletta basketball fanart by @/sketch_cr8 on Twitter! Thank you!BIG DISCLAIMER: while I may not be totally clueless about basketball, I am also not a super big fan of the sport (I do watch games yes, but I won’t call myself super into it or anything). Pls do forgive me for any mistakes I might make, and feel free to DM me on twitter if you see glaring ones so I can correct them! Thank you!

Mercury Black and the Accidental Child Aquisition

by The_Escaped

She wasn't his kid, ok? She was just- a kid, that slept in his house and ate his food and learned how to fight from them sometimes. See? That's totally different.Mercury wasn't sure why everyone kept asking HIM about it anyway- this was clearly Emerald's fault.In which I write way to much from the Day 3 prompt from Emercury Week 2022 and Mercury goes through the mortifying ordeal of becoming a parent.
