Petals Scatter, Petals Gather

Over a decade before Team RWBY would arrive at Beacon Academy, Summer Rose left her family on a secretive and dangerous mission, one that could free Remnant from a dark power known only to a handful of Ozpin's inner circle. It was a mission that only she and her former teammate, Raven Branwen, had the unique combination of skills to complete successfully.

Only Raven knows what occurred that fateful mission, and she will never speak of it, nor even admit she was part of it.

This is Summer's story. One of loss, grief, and redemption with the help of the most unlikely of allies.

Grimmlingverse AU with a happy ending.
