Summary
After the Fall of Beacon, Weiss wakes up in a world where she’s the head of the Schnee Dust Company. This wouldn’t be so bad, except everyone seems to think she’s corrupt and evil.
Meanwhile, the other Weiss occupies the original Weiss's body, busy trying to learn how to regrow her nonexistent heart. Will she ever see the error of her ways? The answer: probably not.

Interesting but probably permanently unfinished.
I liked the twist in chapter 25 that explained with flashbacks why Other Weiss acts the way she does. It made sense and recontextualized many past events.
Read all 26 chapters from 2026-07-07 to 2026-07-08.

It explores well how Azula’s character would fare in Weiss’s situation in the world of RWBY. Weiss herself and the other characters seem accurate as well.
Read for the second time from 2026-07-06 to 2026-07-07.

Summary
She was given the chance to change her future. The power to fix the things she had broken unintentionally. To repair the bonds she had lost within her family and learn how to love them completely and without any strings or conditions attached.
Granted with a vision of what could be, she would handle this with maturity and wisdom. Devise a plan for each child she failed and make sure they each know that they are loved and that she is proud of them.
(This is a sequel, tou can read it if you want...but I recommend reading When the Bell Tolls One first)

A good start to a fix-it fic with some nice solutions to the problems in the original work and some funny new misunderstandings and conflicts. Too bad it seems abandoned at 10 chapters.
A slight flaw is that Maribel and Isabella’s journey through Bruno’s room, though different from canon, is not different enough to stay interesting – especially when the prequel already described that scene. I think summarizing the similar parts would have been better
I read this on 2026-06-10, the day after reading the previous story in the series.

Bookmarker's Notes
I read all 11 stories on 2026-06-08.
Some are not that interesting on their own, but some off the stories show weird, interesting, and often relatable aspects of characters’ personalities, particularly Bruno’s.

Summary
Pepa wishes that her father never made his sacrifice. She wishes that Pedro had been willing to run and hide like the rest of the men rather than face the raiders alone. She wishes she could have grown up with a father instead of with a gift and a magic house. Then one night; Pepa’s wish comes true. And soon after she wishes it hadn’t…

Bookmarker's Notes
Diego is a good antagonist. The story shows the difficulties of an abusive relationship well.
However, it feels a bit unreal that Pepa, someone who has no memory of a previous relationship with Diego, would be so initially hesitant to leave him after his abuse. In that aspect, it seemed like forcing the character into a different story.
The plot finding two different ways to ask whether it's better to have a cowardly father or a brave dead one was nice. The story doesn't completely answer it, but that's fine. It's a bit of a shame that the story doesn't acknowledge the role of brave sacrifices in game theory – that someone's father had to fight for everyone to survive.
The ending did a good job addressing loose ends, but the very end felt a bit rushed, and the final message seemed to encourage magic supremacy rather than the intended encouragement of self-confidence.
Read on 2026-06-07 (the day after I watched the movie).
