6k+ Knight of Salem » by Coeur Al'Aran

9k+ Professor Arc II: Headmaster Arc » by Coeur Al'Aran
He didn't know the first thing about running a school, nor fixing a political disaster spanning all of Remnant. Hell, he didn't even know how to deal with the world-ending conspiracy in the background, let alone a former-headmaster-possessed child. Yet here he was, leading Beacon Academy into a new age of glory. Or ruin. Definitely a fair chance of the latter…RWBY, T, English, Humor & Adventure, chapters: 88, words: 561k+, favs: 6k+, follows: 5k+, updated: 12/31/2020 published: 2/28/2019, Jaune A.
9k+ Service with a Smile » by Coeur Al'Aran
When Jaune's forged transcripts were rebuffed, his only option was to return home in disgrace or forge a new life in Vale. Opening a diner was an impetuous decision, being good at it a stroke of luck. Becoming the favourite haunt for students, teachers and criminals alike…?
