I love nothing better than a duo of crazy people against the world

You know I can totally see Solaire becoming the Dark Soul waifu

If by some miracle they land in Jojo Bizzare Adventure Universe, he'd have the chance to meet the best waifu of all.

That is indeed what she's doing.

Yet more moments between Lisa and Jaune. Lovin it. I'm actively shipping them now and no one will stop me. And maybe I'll throw in the Outsider too.

But yeah Jaune and multiverse harem is… well I guess it IS WC elements as per the tag. He truly will surpass that other guy.

Also Jaune actively living his dream of knights and slaying dragons. Didn't he always wanna be a knight in canon or something like it? Maybe it was just a hero. Still. He's fulfilling that knight image.

Enjoying all the hypotheses for DS waifu and can't wait till they find out more of the lore. Might really bake their noodles.

as for the Dunwall arc, loved everything about it. Can't remember the deets of what I was gonna review but yep.

*Just a few typos here and there regarding this previous chapt. Nothing major. IE:

…the road leading deeper into the fortress sat empty, and lend no hints of what lay ahead.

I've got a couple of questions.
Is Solaris' Dark Soul capable of producing an aura? My gut says no, but I don't really have a solid argument against it besides "it's a dark soul."

All we know is that it feels like it shouldn't. If it does anyways? Why....

Ain't that a Miracle if I ever saw one?

The nicer (for me) explanation would be that souls work differently in different settings, sidestepping the meta-question why certain things are unique across different settings. Aka Why have only people from Rwby Aura if everyone everywhere can have it and other settings have incomparably better Soul-researchers. Seath given his achievements would definitely have found it.
Ultimately WC is "it just works" on such. But Jaune doesn't have that.
On the other claw he unlocked Tattletale's Aura and her setting has magic only in the sense of "it's totally science I swear". That might be an effect of the transition.
Either way should Solaire's Aura be unlocked things will likely get weird. Between the Dark Soul fragment, his (regular?) Soul, the Darksighn and the glamor all humans have from the gods to hide their origins it could go plenty of fun ways.

hey! I really enjoyed this after finding it.

Usually my thought is that it's like different computer OS, except they're all Linux. So at their core, all universes are the same like Linux distros are, but some programs aren't out of the box compatible with another Linux OS. That means that the primary thing the Company does in this regard is basically have a Universal Linux Adaptor that picks up new OS, they figure it out, and then they can add that to the adaptor. Aura will work in any universe touched by them because that's part of what they do as part of preparing a universe for their interactions, but the program still needs to be imported.

I admit that I like stories which allow settings to be unique, rather than contriving some reason for all abilities to be cross-compatible with protagonists. Sure, in this case it is sort of inevitable due to the premise alone, but it is one of my pet peeves when it comes to aura, and why I'll probably shy away from including RWBY in any crossovers I might personally make.

But then again, I like protagonists earning their victories, so I am well aware I am in the minority of multicross audiences

 

[NineYetis]

The main reason I had doubts a dark soul could obtain aura is because it's described as the "light of the soul" and is present in all living things. Solair is undead and his soul is dark. After thinking about it if Jaune tried to manifest an undeads soul by giving them aura the funniest result would be turning them into a walking portal to they Abyss.

Just binged the Dishonoured arc, and I'm really enjoying this story.

Also appreciate that this is one of the few multicrosses with settings I know nothing about that I've been able to follow without having to wiki dive/find some lore guide to figure out what's going on.

Oh hey, you struck on the same conclusion I first had.
Aura ritual draws the soul outward. The Darksign might be keeping the fragments of the Dark Soul contained. A bit of that getting out to run wild is how you get Abyss everywhere. So Jaune tries to pass Aura on to Solaire, and dies as he unknowingly kickstarts another Oolacile.
But that's way too dark for the story arc, and pretty much is a Bad End, so I'm going with a different interpretation.

Happy you liked it. And that you enjoyed this type of story, because writing a protagonist that's more clueless than us is a lot less stressful than writing a genius who knows all the tiny details about a franchise.
