Rwby: Remnants Switchback Novels & Stories

The "Inversion of the Tablet" was a meta-fictional explosion that turned the "Idealized North" into a landscape of terminal identity crisis. As Silas Blackwood’s "Biological Remorse" flooded Sarah’s Admin console, the vibrant, candy-colored version of the Blackwood Keep began to "Rot." The white-glass walls turned back into rough, human wood, and the shimmer-feather wings on Lyra’s back unwove into the "Redacted" blocks of violet static she had used in the Gallery.

Half-shrouded by a broken overhead bulb no one ever fixed. Before he could sit, she was there. Raven. Her heels tapped softly, black lace gloves on her hands, a bottle of whiskey balanced against her hip. No smile. Not at first. She poured him a glass—slow, careful, like it mattered. Reyes stared at the glass. Then at her. “The farmhouse—Bramley Lot—it’s gone,” he said. “They burned it. Nothing left but bones and ash.” Her hands froze for a second. Then she finished pouring and set the bottle down.

Andrea clutched her hand, whining, "Ow! This bracelet is way too clunky. It bashed my hand." Her smug glance at me spoke volumes. The burn on my hand from the wax still throbbed, but I ignored it, slipping out as they swarmed around her in a frenzy of concern.

I was being consumed by fear, and that made me more determined to see my mother. I linked Christopher "Chris, I'm taking you up on your offer. Come meet me at the armoury." We met there and I gave him the letter and all the instructions he would need. I asked for his phone so I would receive the call from the Omega and I gave him mine. I took off to meet with Lilith while Christopher went ahead to Cleven pack. I prayed to the goddess to guide him and to let no harm or trouble come to him.

Elara whispered, feeling the faint blood twist. “Blackthorn line, yes… but her heart is good.” Nyx, overwhelmed by love and acceptance, sobbed. “Thank… you.” But peace was short-lived. The Remnants attacked the hotel that night. Ten warriors burst in, led by a figure with cruel gold eyes. “The girl’s power is ours. Dark rules anew!” Aiden partially shifted, claws and fangs ready, shielding Nyx. Kael went full wolf, a massive shield for his family. Ethan fought with guns and knives.

] [Host residual cost: Moderate under protocol execution] The cost registered as a slow, deep pull along pathways the second Emergency Displacement had already burned. Blood welled at the residual feedback points and then slowed. Vision narrowed and recovered. The Bidirectional Vital Link automatically increased the reverse stamina trickle for several cycles until host vital signs stabilized again under the mutual flow. Howard tracked the change in residual posture from the support frame. “You just burned the last internal access to him.”

she shrugged. “Okay, so then we need something new and borrowed.” Aggie said. “Here,” Remi held out a bracelet with purple, red and pink gemstones. “This is my favorite bracelet, so you can borrow it.” She said and snapped it around Ryle’s wrist. “Remi, are you sure?” Ryle asked. “It’s beautiful.” She said lightly running her fingers over the stones. “Of course, besides, I’ll get it back tomorrow.” Remi chuckled, “and I know where you live.”

FUTILE. Elizabeth sighed. "Very well. If you won't cooperate, we'll move to the accelerated protocol. It's more intense and painful but it works faster." She stood. "You'll be conscious for all of it and feel everything. And at the end, you won't remember why you were fighting." Then another younger voice spoke. "Ms. Webb? What about the other one? The twin?" "Sage is showing similar and stronger resistance actually. She's been talking to herself all night. Repeating names and memories and trying to hold on." Elizabeth sounded almost impressed. "Process them together and let them see each other break. That usually accelerates cooperation."

Several people rushed in and restrained Jackson. Mark walked in against the light. The next second, I fell into a familiar embrace. The moment I felt his warmth, I broke down completely, sobbing uncontrollably. Mark held my face, heartbroken. He gently touched the wound on my cheek, his eyes full of emotion. “Emma, I’m late.” I shook my head. Not late at all. He came just in time. Behind us, Jackson started shouting, “What are you doing? Do you even know who I am? I’m from the city—”

My dead arm dragged behind me—a senseless slab of necrotic ruin. “I know,” I whispered. The words tasted like copper rust. “But they’re not taking you. Not today.” Ryan’s voice cut through the static—low, cracked, almost pleading. “Phoenix… the loyal faction just went live. They’re countering the remnant broadcast. It’s splitting the feed in real time.” The slate flared brighter. Two faces appeared side by side—loyal Alpha on the left, calm, reverent; remnant Alpha on the right, eyes burning.
