Phoenix Fall, son of Cinder Fall and adopted son of Professor Ozpin, has spent the last few years of his life as a vigilante called The Flaming Shadow (mostly by Phoenix himself). After a while Ozpin decides that Phoenix should attend Beacon. Adventure ensues. Sorry for the awful summary. I don't own RWBY, it's owned by Rooster Teeth. Story also on AO3

Phoenix Fall betrayed his mother and was adopted by Ozpin when he was twelve; he started to attend Beacon with RWBY and JNPR when he was sixteen. What happened in this four year gap? This is a side story to "Flaming Rose", another fanfic of mine. I don't own RWBY, it's owned by Rooster Teeth. Story also on AO3
