some random draws

Was gonna draw a partner Punk! Eli with this, but I’ll post it next time lol

So, I was bound and determined to write something about this after I saw your art for the RWBY Rock au after the finale. The one where Yang is holding drum sticks and she’s sticking out the stump of her right arm. I haven’t written in a very long time, and I have been up 22 hours so it’s probably rife with mistakes and errors but here is is dammit! Also, this is only a wee taste of what I have planned. It’s not evident now, for soon to be obvious reasons, but I have the plot mapped out for freezerburn and ladybug ;) Enjoy!

They did everything right. She did everything right. Blake had done everything right. Yet here she was, sitting in a hospital, being treated for some minor cuts. Ruby was being treated for similar injuries and Weiss was being treated to for a nasty cut over her left eye. But Yang… Blake just went over the night in her head again for probably the millionth time since arriving at the hospital.

The show had gone flawlessly and RWBY was invited to celebrate at an after party with a few of the other acts. They had drawn straws to see who would be designated driver. Blake got the short straw, but she hadn’t minded. She still had a blast, listening to Yang loudly tell the story about how she threw Weiss into the crowd for the fourth time, Weiss stamping her foot and telling Yang how much she didn’t enjoy it, and Ruby mingling with the other bands that had performed that night. Blake would bounce around and mingle while sipping from a water bottle. She lost track of the time, but knew it was time to go when Weiss came hobbling up supporting a thoroughly plastered Yang (how she did that, Blake could only guess. Weiss looked like she could barely stand herself). Ruby who had stopped drinking a while ago found them shortly after that and helped get Weiss and Yang to the van the band used to get to gigs.

Blake helped get Weiss into the seat behind the driver’s seat, and Ruby got Yang into the other side. Blake got into the driver’s seat and Ruby took shotgun. Blake put the car in gear and started to drive off to the apartment. Yang started singing incoherently and Weiss followed suit. Ruby and Blake had started to laugh and that’s when it happened. 

In that moment of joy, Blake threw her head back for just a moment to laugh, and then all hell broke loose.  The van lurched suddenly to the right–glass shattered and flew everywhere. Blake could feel herself being jostled in here seat as the van slammed into a pole on the right. Thank God for seat belts. Then everything was a blur of sirens and yelling.  And then she found herself at the hospital.

Blake felt a hand rest on her shoulder and pulled herself from her torturous thoughts. It was her fault after all. She turned to find Ruby who spoke is if reading Blake’s mind.

“It’s not your fault,” Ruby told her with a shaky voice. “Yang is going to be okay.”

“It is my fault,” Blake started to reply, “If I… If I hadn’t taken my eyes off the road, I could have avoided the driver or—“

“Blake!” Another voice cut in. Blake turned to Weiss who was now sporting a gauss wrap over her eye. “This is absolutely not your fault. That other car ran a red light. And Yang will be fine.”

Blake was about to respond but held her tongue as a doctor approached and addressed Ruby.

“Ms. Rose, the sister correct?” Ruby nodded in response. “May I have a word?”

“Of course,” Ruby replied and walked off the doctor, but not before shooting a worried look at Weiss and Blake. Blake couldn’t quite hear what was being said, but Ruby’s face dropped after a moment, and Blake noticed the doctor hesitate. He then said something and Ruby stiffened. She stared for a moment and then said something and started to shamble back to Weiss and Blake.

“Ruby? Is everything alright? Is it Yang?” Weiss asked, her voice filled with worry. Ruby said nothing. This time Blake spoke.

“Ruby, what is it? Please, is it about Yang?”

“She’ll be fine.” Ruby stated. Blake noticed it lacked emotion, but sighed with relief anyway and she heard Weiss do the same.

“So what’s wrong?” Blake asked.

“She’ll be fine. But they had to amputate her arm.” Saying it must have driven it home for Ruby because it was then she curled in on herself and started to sob. She wailed and hiccupped and coughed. Blake sat on a chair, dumbfounded, as tears started to stream down her face. Weiss, at least wrapped her arm around Ruby as she herself started to cry.

They did everything right. She did everything right. Blake had done everything right. So why had everything gone wrong?

rwby doodles from the stream

So many asks about Def Leppard, and its cool that theres a drummer that rocks like that But i meant like Yang fresh from the accident. Adjusting. Being frsutrated. Trying to cope. Missing something.

-Thinks about Yang in the rwby rock au where she loses an arm and has a hard time because she wouldn't be able to drum like before anymore- -sweats- Why do i do this
