Qrow is dead. It is up to Winter to bring this heartbreaking news to those fighting Salem and WTCH, and to his family. Consumed by grief but determined to finish what Qrow begun, Winter sets out to replace him as a protector of the Maidens. Little does she know that she may be over her head, as dangerous obstacles begin to take form. Qrow is not dead. He is trying to distance himself from the one he loves for the greater good, even if it does break his heart beyond belief. Currently, he is on a mission to find Salem's hideout, which is proving as easy as it sounds. Along the way, Qrow meets some new faces, along with some unwelcome old ones. Memories from times long past collide with recollections to be, and two hearts, both broken in two, may find a way to repair each other. I DO NOT OWN THE COVER ART CREDIT GOES TO ARTIST

Qrow Branwen and Winter Schnee. Members of two families with no relation. On one side, a drunk huntsmen with a valiant heart. On the other, an ice cold militant woman who won't accept her own love. Not even show it. Can she accept her love, and the love of a man, one whom her father strictly and heavily forbids? Can she prove to the man who raised her, that her love is not misplaced? Will she be able to free herself from her abusive father's hold?

"What's wrong, Ice Queen?" He puts his arm on the wall, stopping her. "Qrow, I don't have time for this," she turns the other way, then Qrow grabs her arm. "Nothing is wrong, leave me alone." She looks away, Qrow grabs her by the waist.... Her eyes widen.... Winter is dealing with many things; Her father, the general, her comrades, and the war. She tries not to show any pain whatsoever, but that takes advantage with her actions, feelings, and emotions. Qrow is worried about her, beside the feelings, he is worried that if she doesn't let out these feelings, she would fall into the darkness. #Credit to Alcatraz for the cover!# *This is my first ever Rwby fanfic!
