Requested by Karmie123 and this one shot is inspired by the YouTube short film "The Acorn Princess."

Once upon a time in the snowy kingdom of Atlas there lived two royals. Winter Schnee, who was the princess of Atlas, and Clover Ebi who was the prince of the nearby kingdom of Mantle. The two were very good friends, so much so that they often spent their entire days together. Which is what they were doing at this very moment. However, they weren't talking to each other much as Winter was focusing all her attention on something other then her best friend.

Clover reached down to pet a small crow that had landed on the window sill.

"Hello little friend,"

The crow opened its beak and dropped a four leaf clover into the prince's hand.

Clover chuckled and picked the bird up before setting it on his shoulder. "Hey Winter come over here a second."

But the princess didn't answer.

"Winter?" Clover asked again before turning to see the Atlesian princess watching a group of soldiers practicing their fighting.

Winter sighed as she watched the guard captain Robyn Hill disarm one of her men flawlessly.

"Ohhhh," Clover said, coming up behind her.

He gently tapped her shoulder causing the princess to yelp in surprise.

"Clover!" She said annoyed, "don't sneak up on me like that!"

"I wasn't I just wanted to make sure you're ok."

Winter's expression softened and she hung her head, "I'm fine. I just...still haven't told Robyn how I feel. And I'm not sure how, I mean look at her. She's the prettiest, fiercest, most amazing guard captain in the whole kingdom and I'm just...me."

Clover shook his head, "don't worry. All you need to do is-" he got down on one knee and held out the four leaf clover to her, "sweep her off her feet."

Winter cracked a small smile at that, "thanks Clover."

"And how are you two doing?" A new voice asked.

Both the prince and the princess turned to see James Ironwood, the king of Atlas and the man who had raised Winter like a daughter, walking over to them.

Immediately Clover scrambled to his feet, "your highness I was just-"

But the king cut him off, "it's alright I was just coming to get you two so we can go over the final arrangements for your wedding.

Clover and Winter smiled at that but inside the word wedding made them both extremely nervous. They did love each other but as friends and nothing more. They couldn't imagine marrying each other.

Ironwood put his arms around the two and led them back inside the palace.

———————————————————————

A couple days later it was the morning of the wedding and Winter and Clover were standing at the alter hand in hand as the minister began reading the vows off.

"Now if anyone rejects to this union speak now," he said.

Suddenly there was a loud cracking noise as the entire ceiling above them caved in. When the dust cleared everyone saw a tall man with large crow wings standing there.

The guests all looked horrified and the king called for his guard. Clover stopped him however and offered to fight the man himself.

But as he was reaching for his weapon, Kingfisher, the crow man went towards the alter and grabbed Winter.

"Your princess is mine!" He shouted.

"Unhand her!" Clover demanded as he brandished his weapon.

The other man dropped Winter on the ground and the princess quickly made her way to the doorway away from the fighting.

Clover and the crow man began fighting each other, knocking over the buffet table and messing up the decorations in the process.

Soon Clover had his opponent on the ground but before he could finish the fight the crow man knocked the prince's weapon aside before grabbing him around the waist and dragging him outside.

Once they made it to the balcony Winter closed the door and used her powers to summon a snowflake glyph, freezing the door shut.

The crow man looked at the prince and princess and burst out laughing.

"Man did you see their faces? They looked so scared!"

Winter rolled her eyes, "you may have overdone it a bit Qrow."

Qrow gave a glare right back, "well you're welcome for getting you two out of that wedding. Now let's go before we're caught."

He grabbed both Clover and Winter and jumped off the balcony, before opening his wings and flying towards the nearby mountains.

Winter and Clover smiled at each other before the prince gave Qrow a kiss on the cheek.

The snow princess couldn't help but feel a tiny bit of jealousy seeing that, she was aware of Clover and Qrow's secret relationship and she was happy how sweet they were to each other. Still she couldn't help but wonder if she and Robyn would ever be together like that.

Suddenly they heard a gunshot and Qrow cried out in pain. His left wing had been shot and he began falling toward the ground.

Winter and Clover didn't even have to time to react before they hit the cold snowy ground hard.

After a moment the princess opened her eyes to find Clover begging Qrow to wake up. She also saw the king standing behind them holding a smoking gun. The king then aimed the weapon at Qrow, preparing to shoot again.

But Winter ran in front of him, "wait! Please don't hurt them!"

"Winter what are you doing?!" Ironwood shouted, "I could've hurt you!"

"Sir listen to me! I'm sorry Clover and I ran off but the truth is....we can't get married."

Ironwood looked confused, "what?"

Winter turned to see Clover still begging for his love to wake up, "I can't marry Clover because he's in love with someone else...and...and so am I."

The king's expression softened and he reached for the princess's hand, "I'm sorry. I had no idea."

He then made his way over to the two men, "and I must apologize to you two as well. Now let's go back to the palace and get everything sorted out. And we'll take care of your friend as well Clover."

———————————————————————

The next morning Winter and Clover were once again standing at the alter together, but this time Winter was fixing the prince's suit jacket.

"Now remember," Winter said stepping aside, "all you need to do is sweep him off his feet."

The prince smiled at her and watched as the door opened revealing Robyn holding a small pillow that had a crow with a bandage around its wing laying on it.

The crow looked over at Clover and leaped off the pillow before it shapeshifted into Qrow.

The two men embraced and the wedding began.

Winter smiled to herself as she watched the two go through their vows before they were officially named "husband and crow." Then she took a deep breath and looked over at Robyn who was sitting to her right.

"Hey Robyn....I was wondering if maybe..." the princess stammered as her face began turning red.

But Robyn grabbed her hand before she could finish, "I would love to."

Winter squeezed her hand back before taking the guard captain to the dance floor where Qrow and Clover were already engaging in their first dance.

And of course both couples lived happily ever after.
