She was in a committed relationship with no intention of leaving, and yet she had dangled her affection so tantalizingly close that night.

- Chapter 8 of "RWBY"

"Ruby: We're gonna be here for a while. Weiss: I was afraid of that... Ruby: Why? Do you need to get back to your company? Weiss: Oh, no. My company is in safe hands. It's Qrow and Winter being in the same building for an entire day that has me worried."

He hadn't had a drink since he realized he was in love with her over a year ago, she was much less uptight than before.

Winter: No, I merely want to pick the flowers for the occasion."

- Chapter 2 of "Our Little Journey"

"He was different than what she was used to, to the people she was around. He was not polished or refined. His short black unkempt hair was in a need of a trim and he constantly had stubble, she wondered if he even owned a razor. His eyes, however, were expressive in a manner she never knew was possible.

- Chapter 9 of "Our Little Journey"

"Qrow: Yeah... when I get home, I’ll have some takeout. You’ll remind me to leave my shoes at the door because you hate to bring dirt into the house but then you’ll kiss me hello. Right here, He practically hit himself in the face when he pointed to his lips Qrow: Oh, and you’ll be wearing your reading glasses. Black slim ones. Winter: I don’t have reading glasses. Qrow: Shush, this is my fantasy. You'll be wearing your glasses and you’ll probably have a bunch of paperwork on the dinner table instead of your office desk because you prefer working in the dining room. You’re such a workaholic. Winter: And you’re an alcoholic. Qrow: See. We’re perfect for each other. I’ll make you work less and being with you, it makes me want to be a better man, so I’ll stop drinking so much.

- Chapter 12 of "Our Little Journey"

"Winter: Why do you find it so easy? Qrow: It’s never been easy, it’s not.

She wanted to believe him and despite her instinct telling her, no, to run and to remain detached, remain in the world she grew up in; she walked down the two steps separating them. Winter:That sounds like an inconvenience. Qrow: Yeah, it is. But I’m going to do it."

- Chapter 14 of "Our Little Journey"

"Winter: Why isn’t it easy? Qrow: People are assholes and hurt each other way too easily. That’s why. Winter: And you won’t hurt me? Qrow: I probably will unintentionally. I’m not good at thinking before I speak. Winter gave another delicate snort Winter: I haven’t noticed. Qrow: Yeah? He grinned, breathing in her aroma of lilies Qrow: Winter? Winter: Hm? Qrow: I will always have the best intentions for you. Qrow looked up at the night sky, tightening his arms around her Qrow: And sometimes they can be wrong because Gods know I make mistakes, but I care about you and meeting you...was one of the best things that have ever happened to me. Winter shut her eyes, burying herself in his embrace, afraid of what she was feeling and what it meant, but she wanted to answer him honestly and to the best of her abilities. Winter: Me too. She said in a small voice. And it was good enough for him."

- Chapter 14 of "Our Little Journey"

"Qrow had made it clear what he felt about her, which was not platonic or camaraderie. Even after they kissed, she kept telling herself there would be nothing between them. She could not feel that way about him and neither could he. He was just a flirty huntsman with a drinking problem and she was an overly ambitious student with a need to prove herself to everyone. It would never work. So, with that in mind, she attempted to push him and any possibility of him in a romantic prospect out of her mind. But, he said he loved her. Not her family’s name. Not her family’s influence. Not her family’s fortune. He loved her."

- Chapter 16 of "Our Little Journey"

"Qrow: Winter Schnee, will you marry me? Winter: Not good enough. Qrow: What do you mean it wasn’t good enough? Winter: It wasn’t. she pointed to the ground, Winter: On your knee and say it like you mean it. Qrow grinned, falling to one knee dramatically and held his ring to her much to Ironwood’s annoyance and Ozpin’s amusement. Qrow: Ice Queen. Winter: Vain, ill-natured varlot. “My stars and moon and pain to my ass, despite having a cold – I mean arctic cold – heart, will you marry me? Winter: Pitiful but I suppose it will do. Qrow: Pitiful? Qrow barked a laugh Qrow: That was a damn good proposal. Winter turned back to the headmasters Winter: I believe we’re ready. Qrow: Don’t ignore me! I am your husband!"

- Chapter 16 of "Our Little Journey"

"Qrow: Well, I wouldn’t mind it if we sleep under the same blanket together. Winter: Perhaps sleeping six feet under would be a better option for you. Qrow: You just want another husband, don’t you? Winter: Remarrying is easier as a widower than a divorcée. Qrow: What if I want another wife? Winter glanced up at him, amusement dancing in her gaze. Winter: Do you honestly think you could do better than me? Qrow frowned and she smiled smugly at him, which then caused him to smirk Qrow: Honestly, no."

- Chapter 17 of "Our Little Journey"

"She wondered how he had the power to fill her with daydreams about him, about an untold future with him, and annoyance. He got under her skin like no other. Still, she grew up knowing she could have anything she wanted, and she never wanted anything but the happiness for those around her. But, since meeting him, she felt her first selfish wish emerge. She wanted the sun. She wanted him."

- Chapter 17 of "Our Little Journey"

"Qrow: This is nothing compared to my drunken fantasies. Winter: I told you to keep me out of those. She breathed unevenly, smiling and he was kissing her again. Qrow: Then you’ll be bothering me in my dreams."

- Chapter 17 of "Our Little Journey"

"Qrow: You can take down a Grimm wyvern all by yourself, but can’t block a toy car? That’s sad. Maybe you need an extra year in the Academy? Winter: Same can be said for you, I recall your eldest niece gracing your face with a black eye. Qrow: I was tagged team against. Winter: A highly trained huntsman yet you still make excuses. How unappealing. Qrow: "Unappealing"? How about we sneak into one of the empty classrooms here and I show you how unappealing I am." Qrow smirked at the roll of her eyes."

- Chapter 27 of "Our Little Journey"

"Qrow: Well, then. Good thing I'm the perfect marriage candidate. Winter: Oh? Are you assuming it is going to be you? Qrow: We know it’s going to be me. We had this conversation before and I already have the experience of being your husband. Winter: We were undercover. Qrow: And we were under the covers."

- Chapter 34 of "Our Little Journey"

"Qrow: I’d miss you too, Ice Queen. Winter: You say that only because I said it first, and it would be rude not to. Qrow: And I’d give up the chance to be rude to my favorite seasonal character? Winter: Point made. Qrow: Plus, it’s just not the same annoying other people. Winter: Jerk, Winter laughs, not letting go of his hand even though he loosens it just a bit. What Qrow doesn’t say is how he’d miss getting into fights with her because he liked seeing how much she’s grown as a Huntress. Or how nice it is to see her ears go red when he makes a suggestive comment. Or how pretty he thought her smile was, but it wasn’t at all as nice as her laugh. She used to never laugh at anything he’d say, so he made it his mission to make her laugh. He heard her laugh at jokes her friends would make, insults James would throw at Qrow, and when reading Weiss’ letters to her. But never when Qrow said or did anything. When the day came, and Winter finally cracked up at something he commented on (a stupid joke that he can’t even remember now), he fell for her. Fell hard. He doesn’t even realize it, but his lips begin brushing the back of her hand. He’d miss her. He’d miss her a lot."

- Chapter 1/1 of "Midnight Conversation

"Qrow glanced back and forth between Winter and Ironwood, the latter smiling like a proud parent. Suddenly, he couldn’t help but wonder if there was something going on between the two of them, and the prospect of that being true made him a bit angry. It wasn’t the fact that Winter was a student and Ironwood was more or less her boss, it was the thought of him having some sort of romantic relationship with her, that made Qrow feel.... Almost jealous. The feeling hit Qrow like a boulder to his chest and took him by surprise. A part of him wanted to grab Winter’s hand and drag her off in order to be alone with her. What really confused him is that his first instinct wasn’t to flirt with her, to not use his usual tactics to get someone to go out for a few drinks with him, to not pull her close and kiss the hell out of her. No, Qrow wanted to get to know Winter. Go slow with her. Find out her likes and dislikes, what her hobbies were, learn all that he could about her. Running a hand through his hair, he looked back and forth between Ironwood and Winter. Qrow: I should get going. Hopefully there’s still a hotel around here with free room. And a bar."

- Chapter 2 of "Reunion Redux"

"Qrow could feel it now. He didn’t want this feeling with Winter to only be destined as an “if”. He wanted these occurrences to be a certainty. He dared to hope that this “if” would soon become a “surely” in their world."

- Chapter 1/1 of "From "If" to "Surely""

"He might be half-broken, but if he could be half-broken with her he’d be alright."

- Chapter 1/1 of "In the Arms of a Rival"

"Winter: No side effects? Qrow: None, but you're making my heart flutter. Winter: I saw some pulling, She glossed over his flirting, Winter: Are you keeping your activity level low? Qrow: Sure am. But I'll be happy to change that right now on your orders. Winter: You seem fine, She snapped his file shut. Winter: Especially if you're making illicit comments. Qrow: I'm also fine enough to take a certain doctor out for dinner. Winter: Doctor Ironwood is a married man."

- Chapter 2 of "Promnesia"

"Qrow: What's up? Winter: Well, something, perhaps concerning, has occured. Qrow: What? Did Starling say a curse word? If so, that was Yang, not me."

- Chapter 14 of "Promnesia"

"He was brilliant, however unassuming. If Winter was a force to be reckoned with, Qrow was quite a storm."

- Chapter 1/1 of "a force to be reckoned with"

"She wondered what would have happened if she had said yes. Said yes to him, said yes to staying. She wondered where she would be, what her life would be like. She imagined that she would be a huntress, and that they would have a child by now. She clenched the ring in her fist. No, she liked her life. She loved the military, loved what she did, loved feeling the exhilaration that being in command gave her. She was meant for this life. But, she thought, rolling the ring between her fingers, that didn't mean that she wasn't allowed to regret."

"Weiss: If Ivory is my sister's kid...that would mean that I'm actually her aunt! I'm not even of legal age yet! I'm too young to be someone's aunt!

"Ruby: Even though Uncle Qrow is technically not my uncle by blood, I'm glad to be, in a weird way, related to you, Weiss! Weiss: Easy for you to say! You're still young and have so much to live for! I'm now the old bag of the family that never got a chance to get married! Blake: You're seventeen not seventy."

- Chapter 6 of "Bah Bah Black Sheep"

"Qrow: How about instead of yelling at me half of the time, you get Jimmy here to stop plunging knives into people's backs? Glynda: Because he's not the one producing bastard offsprings here. How many other women have you slept with without protection?"

- Chapter 6 of "Bah Bah Black Sheep"

"Qrow: Easy for you to say. You always have your rich father to fall back on. You've had a safety net since the day you were born. I don't have that luxury. I've got so many damn screws loose,what woman would be willing to put up with a broken mess like me? Winter: This one."

- Chapter 8 of "Bah Bah Black Sheep"

"Qrow: You do realize how much you're giving up to not live with papa, don't you? Why in the hell would you choose me, the guy who doubted your mental disability, over your filthy rich grandfather? Ivory: It is true that papa is wealthy, and it's true that you haven't been understanding of my disability...but there was one reason why I decided to stay here. You make mommy happy."

"Qrow: How about, instead of talking to me like you hate my guts, you talk to me like you would to your friends. Winter: General Ironwood is my only friend. Qrow: Oookay, I'm gonna go ahead and take charge of this conversation before it gets any more depressing."

- Chapter 2 of "Contrast"

"Winter:You're drinking already? Honestly, Branwen, how have you managed to survive this long? Qrow: My Semblance allows me to break down alcohol and add the resulting energy directly to my Aura. Winter: Really?! Qrow: No, stupid. I just drink a lot."

- Chapter 2 of "Contrast"

"Winter: Understand, Branwen, what happened between us last night was a mistake, and I do not tend to repeat my mistakes. Last night was a mistake. This coffee is for my hangover and the art show is to make things even between us, that is all. Do I make myself clear? Qrow: Crystal. Winter: I mean it, Qrow. I promise, that sex was a one time thing. Qrow: Who are you trying to convince? Me or you? Winter: We will never do that again. LATER Qrow: Never again? Winter: starting now. Never again starting now."

- Chapter 2 of "Contrast"

"Winter thought about it, despite it being Qrow, she could admit that he can match her dancing pretty well. Hell, he wasn't even that bad looking either. Muscular, lean, with a mature looking face. Plus the rumors of how good he was in bed... No, bad Winter, stop."

- Chapter 1/1 of "Drunk on Love"

- Chapter 1 of "Hung Jury"

"The first time they met, there were fireworks. Or sparks. Depends on who's telling the story. And how drunk they were at the time.

- Chapter 11 of "Journey of an Ice Queen and dusty, old Qrow"

"Qrow: You're trying to talk to me. You're being deliberate. Did Ironwood order you to make peace or some stupid shit like that? Winter: The General gave me no orders.

"However, Ruby wasn't the only one staring at the entrancing sight. The blonde and Qrow stared as well, seemingly mesmerized by the sight. Even though Qrow had seen Winter's fangs a million times already, it never got old. There was a certain sparkle to them which he found captivating."

- Chapter 37 of "Let Me Hear"

"Winter: Do mot concern yourself with me. Qrow is by my side and you have your team and the academy as allies. If an attack like that happens again, you will have prepared reinforcements. Ruby: How's he doing? Winter: He's Qrow. Ruby: Makes sense."

- Chapter 45 of "Let Me Hear"

- Chapter 55 of "Let Me Hear"

"Qrow had a special way of getting on her nerves. In the rigid world she had ever known ever since she had come out of her mother's womb, people knew how to behave themselves. Superiors ordered, subordinates knew to obey, and peers were professional. Qrow flaunted boundaries that would get most people thrown on their ass with nary a care in the world. He threw her off balance. She didn't like it, but like a moth pulled to a flame, she found herself drawn into his presence more often than not."

- Chapter 2 of "One Day in Kuchinashi"

"Qrow: Do you believe me now? Winter: Oh, I'm sorry, were you trying to prove a point? I was too busy cleaning up another one of your messes to notice. Qrow: That's why I keep you around, Ice Queen. Certainly not for her looks or personality, or those legs... Winter: My eyes are up here, Branwen."

I've just been hanging out with my favorite nieces all day. Ozpin: So you would deny putting laxatives in my coffee and falsely put up "Out of Order" signs on all the bathrooms in the campus? Qrow: Sorry, Oz. I don't have any idea what you're talking about. But it sounds to me like you're having a shitty day today... Perhaps you should just re-lax if you're going to act all stuffy."

- Chapter 4 of "Ozpin's Academy"

"Glynda: Perhaps a night out with a nice girl will do some good reigning in your more...eccentric hobbies. You need to get out of the school more often anyway.

- Chapter 3 of "To Shape an Arc"

"He found in her an equal. She had an intuitive sense for Hunting, a tongue as sharp as his own, and a wit just as quick and often quicker. The shell of sophistication she wore suited her, and while he loved it for what it was, he also loved to tease her so that it would crack. Underneath there was dry humor, cutting sarcasm, a heart that was slow to let anyone in but quick to defend those she loved, and a fierce anger that he was careful to avoid provoking."

- Chapter 3 of "To Shape an Arc"

Wouldn't it be much more convenient for the both of us? I know it's a big step and I know you'll have to tell James but don't the pros outweigh the cons? Winter: You know I'll have to think about it.

"Qrow was sure his knees were about to give out and his heart was beating a thousand ticks a second. Qrow: After all this time, she can still make me feel like a schoolkid.

- Chapter 42 of "Tragedy to Blessing"

"Without Winter Schnee, Qrow had lived a miserable, broken existence. It was like his soul was spread out in pieces on the road of self-destruction and misfortune, and Winter Schnee came through and carefully gathered each piece and taped them together with her own to form a whole. She was his second half. She was his life force. She was the blessing to his tragedy. He had no way of putting it into verbal conversation, no way of describing it. It was impossible, but perfectly real, and Qrow could hardly believe how lucky he was to have Winter Schnee as his miracle."

- Chapter 2 of "Bittersweet Lover"

"Despite what many thought, Qrow and Winter did take a liking to each other. While some may have looked at them and thought "they've definitely hooked up", the two had done more than just that.
