Not sure I understand the question. This is the promised mom!Ruby omake that I've finally gotten around to putting out.

I think that it's Neir: Automata, but I may be wrong.
Edit: nevermind, Homura'd by the author.

...Have I accidentally a crossover? I've never even watched a letsplay of N:A, nevermind gone through it sufficently to feel confidident stealing references from it. Have I been possessed by the spirits of hack QMs long gone? Why do I feel a sudden urge to write a naruto ck2 quest right now?

Yesssssssssss.
Homura must be on a total roller-coaster of emotions right now. What she probably thinks is a new Walpurgisnacht just literally blew into town and set up shop, and just like the original it's no-selling Homura's arsenal.
And then it knocks her out of timestop, somehow, by eating it.
All the traps and firepower, meaning less than nothing, until Homura is utterly dead to rights...and then she's being hugged, and the monster is asking who made her into this.
This has gone to one of the worst moments of Homura's life, and moving towards the best, but for now it's firmly in, "What the fuck is happening?!"
I do love how Ruby's main concern is making too much noise for the neighbors, or having a talk with Homura's mother for her rowdy behavior, tutting over how unintimidating the firearms are and how garish and wasteful the ammunition is. It's kinda fun to see Ruby so firmly on top of things.
Also Kyubey must be fetching his brown pants, or getting ready to find someone to Wish Ruby away because he is so outta his league.
Also props for Spider for apparently finding a way to kick Ruby out of her own home. Unless this really is just a weakened fragment of Ruby that popped up here, while the main version is still home. If that's the case....would that make main Ruby the Mom, and new Ruby can go visit main Ruby's parents and circumvent Fate that way?
RESIST! FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS HOLY RESIST!
Sure, let's get Nier in here. Not like they can make things worse. 
...Is the this the Prologue?

What even are the neir references? I'm genuinely curious now.Sure, let's get Nier in here. Not like they can make things worse.
This is an omake, because writing fun silly things is one of the nicer and more productive ways of dealing with the possibility of burnout.

I would beg to differ in many ways. I have not played, but as I understand it, they usually end up causing even worse things to happen even as they try to fix them. Am I wrong?

It's a series. Only know of the first game, waiting to play the sequel, but making a long story sort and avoiding the big spoilers....it's a heart wrenching game that sucker punches you in the feels over and over. The prologue is a father wandering a desolate city with his daughter looking for food to eat, on the run from shadow like creatures killing everything.
TheDarkId has a pretty good LP of it, if you wanna read it.
Oof. The story weighs on you that badly?

Parts of Neir: Automata take place in a ruined city partially overgrown with plant life.
Also, your description of the girl reminded me of 2B, Automata's protagonist. She's an android (though if we're being pedantic, the correct term would be gynoid), so Ruby's line of "What have they done to you, child?" would still make sense in context.
And it's a spin-off to the Drakengard series.
Specifically;
Drakengard
Drakengard 2
Neir
Drakengard 3
Neir: Automata

Do you even see the smilies? Like seriously. Joke.
And I'm surprised. I'm actually the resident expert on Nier and Drakengard in the thread. That's a scary thought. Dis gonna be fun. If Worm's actual Maxim is "We can Escalate even more" Darkengard's and Nier's is "yes, it does get worse."

Not yet, but I feel it's best practice to not let things get to that point. Taking a breather from the plot now and again means that I can keep the setting fatigue that is the bane of all QMs at bay.
Besides, of the other ideas that I have stashed in my inspiration-silo, this one of the more balanced ones regarding the fluff:suff ratio that I find tends to keep people interested in my quests.

That too, although the only thing that really matters is the final ending of the first game. Unless Automata did something. Dunno yet.
Also come to think of it, Homura is probably bluescreening from Ruby actually being able to speak, because I kinda doubt she thought Ruby was a magical girl. Wasn't a mention of a soul gem analogue, and Ruby did a complete body conversion to seedpods. That's not a Witch trait either I think, but it's definitely not a human one either, so under normal circumstances it definitely wouldn't be good.
Except for Drakengard 2. Or at least it's not supposed to be "yes, it does get worse," but the audience cries of, "Oh God make the awful stop," beg to differ.
Well, let us know if there's something that can be done to help, the story is great and I'm sure we all want it to keep going.

I'm sorry, what? You must be mistaken. There is no Drakengard 2. There is a "Nowe's Stupid Adventure of Pointlessness and Stupidity" but that's a completely different game with that just so happens to have a few characters that share names with characters in Drakengard.
I thought it was "I'mma kill it." No matter what 'it' was.

With the possible exception of Caim. Had some fantastic animation too, to trick people into thinking it was gonna be about him. Dunno how they got the right to put him in, but for the most part their portrayal of a mute murderhobo was solid.
Except for the bits where they pretended anyone had a chance of beating him. But that was really more hyping up their OCs.
... Kinda? It's a semi-stable time loop. D3 causes D1 causes Nier causes D3.
D2 is the child no one ever speaks of and is basically a sequel to D1 that you can just ignore, I recommend doing so. It has nothing worthwhile in it.
N:A is a sequel to Nier, and should be played, but ultimately is after the point where Nier loops back into Drakengard... Hell Nier is set after the point where Nier loops back into Drakengard.
D2 does not exist. Taro just decided to skip two for some reason. Went right from 1 to 3.
*Is struck by a thought*
... Pfft. Oh god, now I'm imagining Ruby replacing the Flower. Ow, my sides.
Okay, so short version... Let's start in D3. Okay, so Zero was basically abused and used as a child, became a sociopathic killer and was about to die from burning and a plague going on. Then she gets saved by a "Flower." Said Flower was actually the remains/foothold of an extradimensional abomination. The... "Uncle" kind I mean.
So Flowers looking to destroy the world, Zero's not that much of a dick and goes to find a Dragon to off herself, because Dragons are natural enemies of these things. Cue the Flower jumping ship by creating five... human-like bodies and making them believe they were Zero's sisters.
They're actually... Okay, two of them are decent people. Three regularly mad-sciences on people making them dolls, Four is... I... have trouble remembering her. She's the envious one and that's all I remember. And Five is the gluttonous hedonist.
Two's dim, but a good girl and One is a prideful bitch, but she tries to do good as well.
Zero slaughters them all over the course of them game. Of course it wouldn't be a game in Yoko Taro's Wild Ride without lot's of alternate, and completely canonical, endings. In the one leading the D1, Zero gets offed by a clone of One. Who proceeds to go more than a little batshit because One didn't think that far ahead. Whoops.
Cue D1 with it's explicitly sociopathic hero slaughtering his way across Upside-down Europe. And then he makes a pact with a Dragon and... just kind of kills a shit-ton of people because he can. He's really not a complicated guy.
Oh, and his sister is one of the seals stopping the extra-dimensional beings from slaughtering them all, but who cares about that?
Apparently the Empire attacking. :/ Well shit.
Oh and his best friend is a complete twink. I just... I literally cannot explain how much of a twink he is.
Anyway, so his best friend gets his sister captured, or should I say actually captures her for them.
And then they kill her and giant white babies invade.
No, I am not kidding.
Anyway, Not-Spain is burning and everyone's dying and then in one of the endings you knock one of the... primary creatures through to Tokyo.
*Shrug*
It dies to MC and his Dragon, then they die to a couple of missiles, and then the giant thing's corpse poisons the world, but somehow let's magic become a thing and then Nier starts.
Eventually they shove the remains of the things corpse back into where it had come from and that kicks off... Drakengard 3.
You didn't think that Flower just popped up outta nowhere, did you?

That's because the MCs of D1 and D3 are literally sociopaths. Or psychopaths.

Also, no one's married in any of the games. At least not the MCs.

@ShadowAngelBeta Uh, you should really put all that in spoilers. If I weren't caught up with up to Nier and D3 I'd be kinda pissed right now. It can be hard to stop yourself from reading as you scroll.

Caim has no friends, only annoying people that he hasn't killed yet because they help him kill other people or point him in the direction of more people to kill. And the closest thing he has to a wife is actually his sister and that's not cool with Caim. So he kills her. Or just drives her to suicide by rejecting her feelings. Same difference.
Zero also has no friends, just annoying men that she keeps in order to sate her lust. In sometime lines she kills them anyway, in some she turns them back into doves. She also kills her sisters.
Neir, Pappy-Neir that is, probably had a wife at some point considering he has a daughter but... we never see her and I don't think she's ever actually mentioned so... Anyway, I think Neir kills his friends and even his daughter depending on the ending. Can't quite remember but the Neir games aren't quiet as kills happy. You have options. In Drakengard, all your problems are solved with murder. In Neir all your problems solved either with murder, fishing or farming. And they took out the farming in Automata.
Haven't finished Automata yet and desperately want to avoid spoilers but yeah, pretty sure that 2B has had to kill her best friend before.
... Why? One ending and... basically nothing else. You could probably see all the rest of that in a friggin Instructional Manual primer on the characters.
You have no clue.

Zero's backstory, and the stuff about her sisters, plus the nature of the flower, doesn't actually get revealed until NG+ territory, IIRC. They allude to a lot of stuff, but they manage to avoid actually explaining everything for a surprisingly long time.
EDIT: Well, okay, some of the loading screens screw the pooch on spoilers, but those were some stupid oversights IIRC.
