Ever since the accident, Weiss couldn't bring herself to touch a rapier again. With her Olympic dreams ruined, she is adrift with her father's vast fortune slowing to a trickle as he demands that she find a new purpose... Ever since the accident, Yang's life has ground to a halt. In her rage and grief, she pushed away not only her sister but her best friend as well. Alone and a damaged shell of her former self, she struggled to find her way back to life... Little chances crop up in life. Coincidence? Or fate? Often, time isn't what heals, but people. Could a stranger you just happened to meet really cause the breakthrough needed for change? But change is hard. Change is resisted. By our desire to stick with what we know. Better to face the demons we know than the ones that might be out there... Alternate Universe version of the RWBY cast.
