Truly I Think Squirrelflight Probably Has Severe Anxiety From Both Of Her Relationships W Ashfur And

Berrynose, Hazeltail, And Mousewhisker Are The Three AU

You dare give me two really cool ideas and tell me to pick one?

well

jokes on you

cause I'm splitting this into two parts

since I've horribly indecisive and I love both of these very much

so I'm doing them in order

there will be three, born with blood outside the Clans, who will walk with stars in their paws The prophecy sticks with Firestar, as his kin carry kittypet blood.. However, with this new cat, Daisy, joining ThunderClan with her kits, he realizes that there's more to this.

Berrypaw, Mousepaw, and Hazelpaw are young ThunderClan apprentice, born to Daisy. Berrypaw is being mentored by Brambleclaw, the ThunderClan deputy, while Mousepaw and Hazelpaw are being mentored by Spiderleg and Dustpelt respectively.

From the very start Mousepaw is hyperaware of how cats around him are feeling emotionally. He can detect when Lionkit is getting impatient waiting for his apprentice ceremony, he can feel his mother - Daisy - fretting over him and his siblings, and he can feel a deep, negative feeling coming from the warrior Ashfur.

He tries his best to ignore these other feelings, but he has been aware of this for a while now. He even feels the fear of the prey every time and he hates it.

Unable to focus while doing battle training Spiderleg decides they should go on a hunting patrol. He mentions that there's still kits to feed, but Mousepaw swears he could hear Spiderleg's heart hammering in his chest.

He's confused on why he has so many emotions stirring up over hunting.

While out hunting, a more feral, hungry energy comes over him as he stumbles right into a fox. He realizes, fearfully, that this fox is hungry.

However, before he can run, he also senses a flicker of worry from the fox. The same worry he feels coming from his mother.

He realizes right away this fox is a mother.

He bolts and runs back to where the other cats are. They manage to fight the fox while Thornclaw runs to grab help.

Mousepaw can't even focus with all the fear running through him.

Then we move to Berrypaw. Berrypaw is a confident, cocky, and bossy tom. He is very proud to be the deputy's apprentice.

He is the first to notice Thornclaw's return and for a moment his attitude fades when he hears Thornclaw call for cats to help chase off a fox, as he knows his brother was on that patrol.

Berrypaw tries to join, but is frustrated when Brambleclaw stops him. He states simply that Berrypaw isn't ready yet.

Not willing to listen, Berrypaw takes off out of camp once the rescue patrol is out.

Brambleclaw is annoyed that he joined, but thankful that the extra paw is there, even if he's angry in the moment.

The fox is about to attack Berrypaw when he's rescued by his sister, Hazelpaw, who surprises him by being there. He didn't recall hearing her leave with him, even though she claims she was right behind him.

The patrol manages to chase the fox away.

Mousepaw is thankful for his siblings, but pulls away as Brambleclaw scolds Hazelpaw and Berrypaw for joining when the deputy had said that the apprentices needed to stay in camp.

Berrypaw argues back, saying that his brother was out here and he wanted to defend him.

Brambleclaw won't hear any of it, however, and informs Hazelpaw and Berrypaw that he and Dustpelt will be coming up with a proper punishment for the two of them when they return to camp.

Spiderleg finds relief that Mousepaw is okay

The patrol returns to camp with what they managed to camp and Berrypaw, despite being in trouble, begins bragging to the other apprentices on how he had managed to chase off a fox.

Mousepaw rolls his eyes, but notes the strong emotions coming from both Honeypaw and Poppypaw.

He wonders why any cat would even bother trying to compete for attention when Berrypaw has those two stumbling after him like lovesick apprentices.

He then reminds himself they are lovesick apprentices.

There's a little bit of thankfulness that it seemed that Cinderpaw had some common sense to her.

As he's listening, he notices Thornclaw return late, delivering the news that the fox had ran into a fox trap and that there was the scent of milk on her. They reach the same conclusion Mousepaw did - that fox was a mother.

It doesn't take long for him to notice Lionkit, Hollykit, and Jaykit want to help, but they're swiftly stopped by their father, Brambleclaw.

The kits are unable to sneak out as Mousepaw catches on to their plotting nature and gets in their way.

The kits get irritated and he asks Daisy to look after them. Daisy agrees to help and has a close watch on the kits.

Mousepaw is thankful for his mother.

Hazelpaw is out of the camp again, stalking after the patrol. They cannot hear her pawsteps or catch her scent and she's thankful for this, as the molly has taken to using this strange ability of hers as soon as she realized what she could do.

As much as she knows she'll get in trouble, Hazelpaw is convinced that there's something important about being able to do what she does and she wants to use it to help her Clan.

She watches from a distance as the ThunderClan patrol finds the fox cubs and chases them away.

There is a close call where Hazelpaw almost gets chased by a fox, but she manages to get away. Heart pounding in her ears, she sneaks back to camp, not wanting to get into any more trouble.

When she returns to camp, she comes by Leafpool and Firestar talking. Leafpool doesn't believe Jaykit can be a warrior apprentice and wants him to be a medicine cat apprentice.

Firestar believes Jaykit would be able to try

Hazelpaw doesn't want a kit to be forced to be a medicine cat, especially since she's aware Hollykit is interested in the idea of being a medicine cat apprentice.

For a moment she considers if Leafpool would accept a sign, but then she's aware she'd feel guilty for faking something so important

When the patrol returns, Hazelpaw and Berrypaw are officially put on duty to help the elders and queens whenever they need it for the next few days.

Berrypaw complains, but Hazelpaw accepts.

A couple days of keeping kits out of trouble and keeping the elders free of ticks and fleas, Berrypaw wakes up to find they're preparing for a ceremony.

Squirrelflight's kits are becoming apprentices.

Hollypaw becomes Leafpool's apprentice, Lionpaw becomes Ashfur's apprentice, and Jaypaw becomes Brightheart's apprentice.

Berrypaw is confused on why Hazelpaw is already getting nests ready for the new apprentices and she points out how he did the same for Honeypaw when she became an apprentice.

Berrypaw huffs at that and sticks out his tongue

Hazelpaw picks on him, saying how he and Honeypaw are going to be the cutest couple in ThunderClan

Berrypaw states that it's obvious they would be [despite Hazelpaw just saying that to make fun of his crush on Honeypaw], but they're not mates and obviously he's going to wait until they're both warriors.

Mousepaw, Hazelpaw, and Berrypaw go on to attend the gathering. It's the first gathering of Holly, Lion, and Jay.

Here Mousepaw encounter Minnowpaw. This is their second gathering talking to each other and he admires her confidence and how she can be a bit mischievous as he had heard the story from her brother, Pebblepaw, on how she dared him to drink horrible water when they were kits.

He introduces her to Lionpaw and she introduces her brother, Pebblepaw, and their friend, Pouncepaw.

After Lionpaw rejects going to walk around the island, Mousepaw accepts and the two spend the night chatting about their Clans while the gathering takes place.

They do their best to stay quiet when they realize that Minnowpaw's mentor, Voletooth, is looking for her.

Of course Graystripe and Millie return and things go about the same [save for Jaypaw walking in Leafpool's dream]

I'm going to blur past some details, but some notes; Hollypaw becomes a warrior apprentice [Brackenfur is her mentor] and Jaypaw stays Brightheart's apprentice, as he has no reason to be forced to be a medicine cat now that he's a normal cat Berrypaw and Honeypaw get close and Mousepaw becomes aware that Poppyfrost is saddened by the sight of seeing the two together Because Jaypaw was unable to walk in dreams, Poppypaw does pass away from greencough; many cats are saddened

The Daylight Gathered, but shortened into notes cause my memory is fuzzy; - Hollypaw faces off against Heatherpaw in a fight and wins; Hazelpaw cheers for her

Lionpaw and Breezepaw get stuck in a hole and Berrypaw is the first cat there. Without much thought he begins digging. Despite being an apprentice, he can feel this unusual tension in his front legs and his paws as he hauls up the dirt faster than even the grown warriors.

He finishes and manages to save both apprentices. He is praised and he doesn't even think about how he did that or how his legs felt more tired than usual. He just basks in the praise.

More glossing over things with my fuzzy memory; [this happens about the time as the other notes; prolly after, too] It's realized after falling into the lake after roughhousing with Mousepaw, that Berrypaw seems to be able to adapt quickly and saves himself and his brother Berrypaw has also been helping Honeypaw through the grief of losing one of her sisters. Mousepaw and Minnowpaw hang out every gathering they can; Mousepaw realizes he has a crush on her. He also notes she's the hardest cat for him to read the emotions of. Mousepaw also notices that his mentor, Spiderleg, is growing close to his mom, Daisy. He's unsure of how to feel about this, but he does notice that, even if Spiderleg can be a bit much, he seems to care about her. Hazelpaw has been helping Hollypaw. The two are becoming friends. Hollypaw is the first cat - outside of her brothers - to be told about her sneaking ability. Hollypaw swears to keep it a secret.

One night Mousepaw notices strange feelings coming from Lionpaw. He grows worried and pulls him off to the side. He tries to talk to him, but Lionpaw ignores him.

He's worried for him.

He's also now aware his mother and Spiderleg are mates. Later, when Daisy mentions she's expecting kits, Spiderleg becomes distant. Mousepaw manages to use his powers to help Spiderleg and pushes him back to Daisy before too much harm to the relationship can be done.

Hollypaw gets in trouble for helping RiverClan but Hazelpaw praises her in quiet.

I'd say things for the most part go similar to TPo3 for a bit, save for Lion and Jay not having powers and Jay being a warrior apprentice. Lion becomes more distant from the other apprentices and Mousepaw is the only one vaguely aware that he's doing something he shouldn't be [training with Tigerstar + seeing Heatherpaw]

They get assessed and become warriors - Berrynose, Hazeltail, and Mousewhisker.

Outcast I remember the least about, but I can't imagine Berry, Mouse, and Hazel going to the mountain, so I imagine it's a lot of training and them learning more about the powers they have. Berrypaw's ego is getting only growing when he realizes he's special and Hazelpaw and Mousepaw have to keep his ego in check. Mousepaw questions why they have these powers and what they need to do while Hazelpaw is absolutely sure she's supposed to be using her powers to help the Clan any way she can.

Also around this time Daisy has her second litter; Rosekit and Toadkit. The three are proud to be older siblings, though Mousewhisker is aware that Spiderleg is still nervous about the news about being a father. He manages to assure the tom to a degree, but the older warrior is still cautious and isn't sure what to do.

Now convinced by his sister that they have these powers for a reason, Berrynose states how a great tom, such as himself, deserves a better name. Hazeltail thinks he's too full of himself sometimes.

Hazetail is happy when the Tribe patrol returns and she happily greets Hollypaw, Lionpaw, and Jaypaw.

She greets them before heading out 'hunting'

Despite seeing Berrynose as cocky, Hazeltail is unaware that she's overconfident as well and she's been spying around, checking for anything suspicious.

Her attitude changes when she gets caught-

And we cut to Mousewhisker as he's out gathering herbs for Leafpool with the help of Icepaw, who is the new medicine cat apprentice.

They are distracted when they hear cats calling for help. Cinderpaw was injured and her leg is hurt. Holly, Jay, and Lion are with her.

They take her back to camp.

Honeypaw, aware their warriors ceremony is coming up, asks to be held back with Cinderpaw.

This is allowed.

Berrynose is confused, especially since he was going to ask Honeypaw to be his mate.

Mousewhisker tells him that this isn't about him.

Berrynose counters, saying that Mousewhisker doesn't know what it's like to like someone. What he doesn't know is that Mousewhisker does know and it's tearing him up because he doesn't want to put the cat he likes in danger cause she's in another Clan.

The two end their conversation on a bitter note and, after some time, Mousewhisker notices that Hazeltail isn't in camp. He asks around, but no one has seen her since she left to hunt.

Getting nervous, he heads off, only to be stopped by Berrynose. He asks what he's doing and he brings up Hazeltail.

For the first time all day Berrynose realizes their sister is missing.

The two hurry off to find her.

Hazeltail is surprised to be faced to face with a rather handsome stranger. He introduces himself as Sol and asks why she's sneaking around.

Hazeltail hesitates, unsure of how to answer his question.

Sol assures that he's just curious and means no harm.

When she doesn't respond right away, he goes on to talk about how he was sent to find three extraordinary cats. Out loud, he pretends to question to himself if this 'lovely molly' is one of the cats he was sent to find.

Hazeltail, flustered, isn't sure how to respond. She had never been caught before and this stranger - Sol - was quite the smoothtalker.

Cats start calling out for her and she has to go. He notes she has a very nice name and she thanks him awkwardly.

She tells him he needs to go and she promises not to mention he was near Clan territory.

Sol seems interested to hear the mention of Clans, but she doesn't have time to question this and hurries off to meet up with her brothers.

Mousewhisker is relieved she's okay and Berrynose scolds her for making them worry for being out so long.

Time passes and Cinderpaw is healing slowly. One day, Hollypaw comes to camp, talking about seeing a lion. Sorreltail corrects her, saying it was a cat.

Sol giving the warning and the fight that ends with an eclipse goes the same. He also makes a passing comment to Hazeltail about seeing her around. Hazeltail finds herself flustered again, as she's never really been flirted with and isn't sure how to handle it.

Mousewhisker had overheard Sol with Icepaw and Leafpool and he wants to know more. He brings this up with his siblings and they all agree to go.

They reach Sol and they fully learn about the prophecy from him. Mousewhisker is confused on how he knows this and the longer he spends near the tom, the less confident he feels about trusting him.

Sol states if he doesn't trust him, to ask Firestar.

Mousewhisker doesn't like that

He is also aware that every time Sol looks at Hazeltail - which is a lot - his sister's feelings spike. He's aware of what this mean and he does not like it one bit, because he's aware that Sol's feelings are not the same.

Sol goes to ShadowClan, convinces them to lose their religion, etc.

Hollypaw, Jaypaw, and Lionpaw become warriors. Hollyleaf, Jayflight, and Lionblaze. Mousewhisker is also aware that the feelings of Lionblaze are shifting again. Also Honeypaw and Cinderpaw become Honeyfern and Cinderheart.

Though his feelings are tense, Mousewhisker can tell Lionblaze in conflicted. He's not surprised when he hears Lionblaze gets into a fight with his former mentor, Ashfur.

Jay, Lion, and Holly come up with an idea to help ShadowClan. Hazeltail overhears and tells her brothers. The three approach the other three and ask to help.

They agree to work together. Dawnpaw, Flamepaw, and Tigerpaw also help along the way.

Sol leaves ShadowClan.

The sick cats [because greencough is going on] are getting worse and Mousewhisker aids the best he can. He manages to help save cats by just being an assistant and bringing herbs over.

My memory around the time everyone's sick is hazy, but the Ancients aren't relevant / involved

Lionblaze manages to get catmint thanks to his connections. Mousewhisker doesn't as questions, but does raise a brow.

Around this same time, Hollyleaf and Hazeltail are bonding. She's trying to teach Hollyleaf how to be stealthy and she's trying to ignore the feelings Sol causes in her.

Things go on, camp catches on fire, and Hazeltail manages to dodge through the flames like a flickering shadow before she stumbles across Ashfur confronting Squirrelflight and putting the lives of Jayflight, Lionblaze, and Hollyleaf in danger.

She panics and during the confrontation, she attacks the tom. While she's fighting Ashfur, she gives them time to escape, but the damage of Squirrelflight admitting they're not her kits has been done.

With the flames high, Ashfur attacks Hazeltail and pushes her towards the flames.

Injured, she is abandoned and passes out when she inhales too much smoke.

Berrynose has managed to help cats escape, including Honeyfern who is very grateful towards him.

For the first time, he finds himself a little flustered when she refers to him as a hero. He brushes it off and acts humble about it, though it's a huge ego boost to his already large ego.

As they are waiting for the flames to die out, the two talk and Berrynose begins to feel bad for being so petty about her wanting to be held back the more she talks about Poppypaw and Molepaw.

He honestly forgot about Molepaw..

He assures her that he'll be there when she needs him and she's thankful. He wonders if this is meant to be.

Things are interrupted when Squirrelflight arrives with Hollyleaf, Jayflight, and Lionblaze. The three look worn out and they are taken to be checked out for being near the flames so long.

Ashfur as returned before them and has already been checked up. He has been scratched up by barreling through some bushes as he wasn't thinking while he escaped. He's scolded by Ferncloud for being so reckless, but she's thankful he's alive and okay.

Berrynose is aware that Mousewhisker is bristling slightly and asks what's wrong, but Mousewhisker doesn't want to answer while they're all surrounded.

Later that night the brothers go on a walk.

Mousewhisker talks about these dark feelings coming from Ashfur and how he's unsure of what's going on, but it's enough to make him feel sick. He also adds that there's something wrong with Squirrelflight and her kits.

He wants to talk to them about it, but when they return to the group, they notice that the three aren't around.

Berrynose assures they'll come up but Mousewhisker can't shake the feeling.

It's also at this point he brings up that they might be trying to find or help Hazeltail, as it's already been noted that she's missing and neither tom accepts that she'd dead as they know Hazeltail is smarter than that.

Time passes and Hazeltail is not found, but neither is any sign that she's died. The gathering is getting close and Mousewhisker is growing more and more aware that something's going on and he doesn't like it.

Lionblaze has been trying to talk to Ashfur, but is getting ignored.

Mousewhisker finally pulls Jayflight aside and demands answers. Jayflight refuses at first, but Mousewhisker manages to be more stubborn than the moody, blind tom.

Jayflight tells Mousewhisker most things and they agree to work together to figure this out.

The two try to warn Ashfur, but they're also ignored. Mousewhisker goes to try to convince Berrynose to help.

This ends with them finding Ashfur laying dead under a tired, hurting Hazeltail's paws.

The brothers come up with a lie but Hazeltail doesn't want them to lie.

If anyone has to be convicted, it's her

They are confused and try to reason with her

This is brought to ThunderClan's attention and Hazeltail confesses out loud. However, Hollyleaf, who had been missing, steps up and states it was in self-defense.

It seems the two have a story going on and everyone but Mousewhisker believes it. He's wondering what's going on.

Hazeltail feels terrible. Not for being the one seen as the one who killed Ashfur, but for everything leading up to it.

She has a flashback to Sol saving her and her falling his sweet lies as he tries to turn her against the Clans. However, as she got better and noticed how he was talking with other Clans, she learned she wasn't special.

She stumbles into Hollyleaf after sneaking away, who is relieved to see the gray and white molly is alive.

The two talk and Hollyleaf tells her everything.

The two come up with a plan and they end up killing Ashfur to keep him from telling the secret.

Hazeltail was supposed to run away, but she didn't. Her paws couldn't move as she stared down at the tom who had tried to kill her.

She snaps back and she and Hollyleaf are working like vengeful detectives to learn more and she manages to keep Hollyleaf from wanting to say anything.

Around this time, Minnowtail asks Mousewhisker to meet her in private in a couple days, as she wants to ask him something. Mousewhisker isn't sure what to expect, but she promises it's important

He spends his time trying - and failing - to get answers from his sister and Hollyleaf and he's feeling overwhelmed by the feelings inside camp that he thinks of seeing Minnowtail as a huge relief.

Mousewhisker goes to visit Minnowtail and he asks why she wanted to see him. She asks if he wants to help his Clan and spend more time with her at the same time.

He says of course.

She tells him that the next night she's going to send a cat to him who'd help with both.

He's confused but trusts her.

The next night Mousewhisker falls asleep - after dealing with the deep tension in ThunderClan - and he wakes up to come face to face with a she-cat named Sparrowfeather.

He begins training in the Dark Forest

Honeyfern's death but it's Berrynose's POV

Berrynose is torn up over the loss and now Cinderheart is the only survivor.

Berrynose becomes sort of numb to everything and doesn't want to spend time with anyone.

He questions why he even has powers if it means he can't save the cat he loved.

While out on his own, he meets up with Lionblaze. The two talk and their unspoken rivalry is put on halt for the moment. In the time they're both just two toms going through what feels like hell right now.

In a way, they become friends.

The detective mollies have been working hard on their case and

Long story short, they learn the truth and instead of a public callout, they have a private confrontation with Squirrelflight, Brambleclaw, Leafpool, and Crowfeather as the gathering ends.

The news is shocking towards the toms but the she-cats aren't surprised.

Brambleclaw is angry and Squirrelflight apologizes.

Hazeltail feels bad but Hollyleaf feels numb.

The two stay together to try to keep each other sane through all of this. Hollyleaf almost breaks down and Hazeltail does her best to keep her from doing anything wreckless.

They never leave each other's side.

and

because I'm struggling to remove AVoS rn, some rapid points;

Hollyleaf and Hazeltail end up becoming mates with a secret. Or two secrets As while Hazeltail was with Sol, she might've slept with him and ended up with his kits. Which Hollyleaf raises as her own and refuses to let these kits be caught in the same hell she was. The kits are; Lightkit, a dilute calico she-cat; Lilykit, a gray and white tom; Stormkit, a tortoiseshell tolly; and Duskkit, a black, gray, and white tom. They grow up and become Lightstrike [known for being impulsive and witty], Lilythorn [a bold tom who isn't afraid to speak his mind], Stormpool [a relaxed tolly who uses words over brute strength], and Duskfire [a outgoing and ambitious tom who finds new ways to push himself to becoming the best] Lilythorn becomes Leafpool's new apprentice after Icecloud passes away

Berrynose and Lionblaze rivals to friends to lovers.

Mousewhisker trains in cat hell, realizes it's kinda fucked right away but has a hard time getting out. He manages to help Ivypaw/pool and the two escape training together. He ends up stop trying to see Minnowtail and focuses his time on helping his Clan and becomes close friends with Ivypool. The two have a platonic relationship where they aid each other.

Cinderheart is friends with both Berrynose and Lionblaze and the two support her as she battles wit her depression

Cinderheart becomes the new deputy after Brambleclaw steps down because the secret-keeping is too much for him. She beomes Cinderstar and she makes Brightheart her deputy. Brightheart ends up retiring because she's not cut out and the new deputy is Rosepetal.

Dovewing still gets with Tigerheart and is friends with Lightstrike, who keeps Bumblestripe away from her when he's bothering her

Dovewing doesn't have powers and gets to live a normal life where her only worry is spending time with her ShadowClan boyfriend and not getting caught

Mousewhisker knows what she's up to, but he's pretty chill about it and sticks up for her - namely after his niece asks him not to tell.

Squirrelflight and Brambleclaw break up and Squirrelflight stays single because she can be happy and single. She doesn't need to stay with someone who's actively making her unhappy.

one time i saw someone try to say "um actually squirrelflight IS just as bad as brambleclaw in tnp bc shes constantly trying to tear him away from his only friend" like um......are u forgetting who that "friend" is. are u forgetting that one of hawkfrosts main character traits is that hes manipulative. are u forgetting that hes literally training w bramble and their dead evil father who bramble expressed his hatred for in the previous arc. like. if my partner was being manipulated by someone who i KNOW from personal experience is an asshole w a suspicious history (see: leafpools experience w him, mistyfoot expressing her own suspicions abt him, him ADMITTING to being part of mudclaws coup), i dont think it would be abusive or controlling of me to say "dude stop hanging out w this guy hes evil as shit"

On the topic of maps, there are way too many maps about the same characters and ships and scenes. Ashfur, Mapleshade, Hollyleaf, Ivypool, and Hawkfrost are on their 100000th map. The ideas are so overused that people are starting to make AUs around these characters (ex. Think the Cheeteh Z maps like cowboy mapleshade, bramblefur, hawkstorm, and hollyfawn). Instead of modifying the same characters, I wish they would make more maps about underrated and underrepresented characters/ships/scenes, especially since there probably are plenty of songs that fit.

Like, i guess ashfur and hollyleaf are popular, fun to animate, and many songs fit them but im sure people will still give your map attention if you made it about an underrated character. Didn’t someone make a map about daisy? That got attention. I don't want to hate on the map community. They're just trying to put together animated projects for fun. But idk, there are some characters/ships/scenes that are way too underrated and deserve their own map too.

Do you ever think about Bramble meeting his half-siblings before they join Riverclan?

Like Tadpole in the manga was very curious and energetic, I would not put it past him to sneak around just to explore while Sasha is off hunting, and maybe he just accidentally comes near Thunderclan border (idk how is that possible geography-wise, but hey it’s an AU anyway. Maybe he went along the twoleg place or smth, bare with me), and Bramblepaw (I think he should roughly an older apprentice at this point, who is already allowed to hunt on his own) is hunting or smth, and he is just like “wtf?? a kit alone?? where’s your mom?”

They chat a little, Tadpole telling this menacing-looking, but nice stranger about his mom and siblings, and how he just was looking around but got lost a bit and got too far, and Bramble, being the 1st series sweetie he used to be back then, listens and sorta befriends the rogue kit, telling him a bit about clan life as well. He then takes Tadpole home, since he can’t let a kit wander around without any adults.

Hawk and Moth are a bit intimidated at first, but soon adopt Tadpole’s excitement, and collectively bother Bramblepaw to play with them and maybe teach them some cool fighting and hunting moves. He only manages to get away, when Sasha returns. She is shocked to hear what happened and Tadpole gets a good scolding.

Bramblepaw and Sasha talk a bit. She does not tell him anything about her connection to Tigerstar (she of course quickly puts two and two together and guesses that the future warrior and her ex-mate are certainly related), just thanks him for watching over the kits and taking Tadpole back home. They part on good terms.

He briefly mentions that Firestar would not turn down a nursing queen in time of need, but Sasha firmly refuses. She does not explain why.

Later Bramble is unable to get the kits out of his head, Hawk obviously reminds him of himself and maybe even his father. He visits again, just to check if they are okay, and this time actually teaches the kits some moves like they wanted. This continues for some time. They are like little siblings to him at this point, and he loves this. Brablepaw misses Tawnypaw and sometimes wishes they had more time together, and while his time with rogue kits is not the same, he enjoys and treasures it.

He tries very hard to fit these visits in his busy clan schedule and feels conflicted if he should do this, but is unable to give up his new friendship.

He wonders if maybe he can make Sasha change her mind. Maybe he can even help with Hawk’s,Tadpole’s and Moth’s training if they join Thunderclan, he fantasizes. He knows that he is too young for an apprentice, even if his warrior ceremony is fast approaching, but it’s nice to dream.

Then he comes to rogues’ den one day, but there are no kits, only terrified Sasha. They search together (and he is quite impressed to see Sasha intimidate Bloodclan), and come just in time to find the trio trying to get of the flooded building.

Luckily for everyone, Bramblepaw is large enough to barely reach Tadpole and drag him out of water.

He does not take no for an answer this time. The kits are soaking wet and terrified, they need to be seen by a medicine cat. And he sure is not leaving them out of his sight. Sasha is visibly uncomfortable, but complies.

Firestar is surprised by the whole situation and is upset that his apprentice did not tell him earlier, but of course he lets Sasha stay. The kits, after the shock waves off, adapt quite well to the clan life and are exited about their home. None of them really want to leave. All of them adore Bramblepaw and follow him like three little shadows.

The similarities between Bramble and Hawk are obvious, and Firestar confronts Sasha, asking if the father is Tigerstar. She confesses that he used be her mate and asks the leader not to take it out on her kits. He then tells her how he used to harshly judge Bramlepaw for his looks alone and how he was proven wrong, so he is more than willing to give these kits a chance.

They stay and nobody dies and everyone lives happily ever after, Bramblepaw indeed getting to help with his siblings’ training and being the most loving big brother Thunderclan has ever seen.

Some side stuff:

- Mothwing and Leafpool being co-medicine cats. Maybe they are in love)

- Tadpole following Brambleclaw, when the Big Bro™ goes on his super important Starclan quest, cause of course he would. Maybe TadpoleSquirrel along the way, they are closer in age and I just think they’re neat (plus the StarClan shouldn’t be bitchy about it, it’s still Fire and Tiger)

- Tigerstar still trying to convince Hawkfrost and Brambleclaw (maybe Tadpole too, idk how he would feel about a kid who does not look like him) to train under him in Dark Forest, but they both refuse.

- Sasha and Goldenflower bonding time over their shared experience with the Garbagestar. Two ladies just being friends and talking about how proud they are of their children.

- I like the name Tadpoletail, I think it’s cute

Squirrelflight girl get out of there…

AU Idea where Squirrelflight decides to leave TC and join Skyclan during ASC Era!! Leafstar welcomes her and Squirrelflight learns how to be happy around her new clanmates . Bramblestar steps down as leader. She sees her kin at Gatherings. The TC warriors have too much respect for Squirrelflight to really hate her for her decision, so it’s always warm welcomes. Squirrelflight will soon be retiring to the elders den, so Leafstar isn’t worried about the affections Squilf still has for TC warriors. Jayfeather understood her decision the most, still being well tuned in to her emotions and seeing how obviously unhappy she was, with the state Bramblestar was in and how he treated her after everything.
