Time's Cruel Hand (Rewrite) (RWBY X Abused!Male!Reader)

Hello friends! Long time no see, eh?

I know this might seem unexpected and surprising to everyone, except for that one guy who PMed me, but I've decided to rewrite my old stories. And what better way to start than by rewriting this old RWBY fic? I'll be getting to the rest of the stories, of course, but I want to focus all my efforts on rewriting this specific story and seeing if you guys like my new style of writing. Well, hopefully new. It would be a shame if I wrote exactly the same after so much time and practice. I'll be leaving the old story up so that you may see the differences between them. If you guys have any suggestions or ways you'd like the story to progress, don't be ashamed to tell me about it! Y'all have some good ideas, sometimes. Anyway, now that that's dealt with, let's get this thing on the road! And what better way to start than by using a random quote about time that I think is mildly fitting!

"Unfortunately, the clock is ticking, the hours are going by. The past increases, the future recedes. Possibilities decreasing, regrets mounting."

- Haruki Murakami, Dance Dance Dance

Lovely quote if I do say so myself! Now, it's time to start. God, I hope the fourth wall lasts longer in this rewrite than it did in the original.
