RWBY Volume 5 Ruby and Blake Fanfiction: What are some interesting plot ideas?

A fanfiction could be written about a school project in Volume 1 that Ruby and Blake are paired up for. At first, they struggle to work together because of their different personalities. But as they research and present their project, they find common ground and start to see each other in a new light, leading to a closer relationship.

A plot idea might be that Ruby and Blake are sisters separated at birth. Ruby was raised in Patch while Blake was in Menagerie. They find out when they both start having strange abilities that are related to their shared heritage. For example, they can communicate telepathically during times of great danger. As they explore this new connection, they also have to deal with the fact that there are some in the world who would see their union as a threat to the status quo. They then have to fight to protect their sisterhood and the world at the same time.

One great fanfiction could be about Ruby and Blake's first meeting in Volume 1. It might explore how Ruby's bubbly personality contrasted with Blake's more reserved nature at that time. Maybe they start off on the wrong foot, with Blake being a bit standoffish and Ruby trying too hard to be friendly. But as they face Grimm together, they begin to understand and respect each other more.

One plot idea could be that Ruby, as a Faunus, has some unique abilities related to her Faunus nature that she and Blake discover together. They go on adventures to understand and control these abilities while also strengthening their relationship.

One idea could be Ruby adjusting to her new cyborg body and the enhanced abilities it gives her, like super - strength or advanced weaponry integration. Another could be her facing discrimination from some in the RWBY world who fear or mistrust cyborgs.

One plot idea could be Ruby discovering she has werewolf abilities during a mission. She has to learn to control it while still fighting Grimm. Another could be that in a werewolf form, Ruby has enhanced senses that help her track down a powerful and elusive enemy. Or perhaps she forms a pack with some of her friends who also get werewolf-like powers and they have to protect Vale from a new werewolf - Grimm hybrid threat.

One idea could be Ruby discovering she has some cheetah - like abilities. Maybe she's faster than ever and has to learn how to control this new power. It could add an interesting dynamic to her combat style and how she interacts with her team.

One idea could be that Ruby and Coco team up for a special mission in a dangerous, uncharted part of Remnant. They face new Grimm and have to rely on each other's unique skills to survive. Coco's fashion - sense - related weaponry could combine with Ruby's speed and scythe skills in interesting combat sequences.

A really interesting plot would be if Ruby's Reaper form was somehow connected to an ancient prophecy in the RWBY world. Maybe it was foretold that a Reaper - like figure would either save or doom Remnant. This would put Ruby in a very difficult position, with different factions having different views on her and her new form. Also, a plot where Ruby has to team up with some unlikely allies while in her Reaper form to take on a common threat could be cool. These allies could be former villains who see the greater danger that requires Ruby's power.

One idea could be Ruby having to relearn her combat skills while being deaged. It would add an element of struggle and growth as she tries to regain her former abilities. Maybe she forms new friendships with characters she already knew in a different way because of her new, younger perspective.
