Intensive Counseling

Jaune Arc Depicted with Glasses by Exvnir

***Intensive Counseling* (IC)** is an explicit piece of literature created by SpookyNooodle derived from Coeur Al'Aran's *Professor Arc*. The plot follows an alternate universe where Yang Xiao Long gets her hands on "special dust" to eliminate Jaune Arc's inhibitions as a Beacon counselor, and other female students begin making use of it as well.

## Plot

### Chapter 1 - Yang Knows a Guy

Sometime in 1 AB, Yang Xiao Long presents the other members of team *RWBY* with purple dust that she acquired from another guy. According to him, the dust was supposed to have "mind control" capabilities, though it does not change the individual's state of mind in the moment, only after they have fallen asleep. The plan, as proposed by Yang, would be to place it into Jaune's coffee to remove his inhibitions. When Pyrrha inquired the proactive measures taken should they be impregnated, Yang revealed a small bag of "white pills" from the drawer of many wonders, providing one for each of the girls except for Ruby Rose because she is too young. The final order of the meeting was the schedule, with Yang prompting to go first, followed by Blake, Weiss, and Pyrrha, with Ruby ignored because she is only 15.

The students go to meet Jaune to initiate their plan, with Pyrrha serving as a distraction by scheduling a meeting with Jaune on Thursday. While this conversation is taking place, Yang places the dust into his coffee to allow the story to take place. Around this point, Pyrrha becomes more enamored with Jaune by looking at his eyes and eyelashes.

### Chapter 2 - In Which Yang's Hair Glows

#### Criticism

The second chapter is titled, "In Which Yang's Hair Glows", alluding to the use of her semblance. According to Scot911 and Reading Smut, there is substantial detail focusing on Yang's hair as she is "having fun", suggesting that her semblance is activating in the midst of the activities.

 Mjzemancik states that there was not much "emotion or tension", leading to a lack of investment due to a grasp on basics. However, he is interested in the concept of having to coax Jaune into the activity rather than using the dust as a plot device. According to TehUnoman, the "smut" only takes up one paragraph within the work, suggesting that most of the chapter is focused on the pre and post-coital events. This is affirmed by woodxvii, who states that it is well-written and than "plot with porn is [always] better than porn with a plot." According to AJ Katon, there was "some comedy" at the end of the work, although the context is not known.

## Trivia

* One of the concerns regarding *Intensive Counseling* was that the dust acted as a "date-rape drug" or "roofie." While it is not known for certain if this was an issue plaguing SpoookyNoodles at the time of writing, he directly acknowledges it in several chapters, such as Weiss's concern that they were "slipping some sort of date-rape drug [and] using his body while he couldn't say no."
