Wrensong was about to exit the base. Finchflight knew that Wrensong would never say anything about it, but she knew Wrensong had been overworked this fall as an early chill had taken her by surprise and damaged a lot of Wrensong’s plants. She’d been spending all day up in the Cliff Gardens, moving plants back and forth. 

The Herbalist had explained to Finchflight how the plants needed to be moved carefully and how they needed to be re-planted in a spot where the sun would shine on them first thing in the morning so that a night chill hopefully wouldn’t kill them completely.

Finchflight couldn’t even begin to understand how Wrensong knew how to do all that, but it was important work that the whole Colony depended on. As a Keeper, Finchflight wanted to help Wrensong in whatever way she could. If Keepers weaved together den walls to keep their loved ones safe, then Herbalists tended to their plants for the same reasons.

And as a mother, Finchflight wanted to help her daughter spirits. Being the only Herbalist for all of Oak Colony was tough work, and Finchflight didn’t want Wrensong to think her work was unappreciated. Finchflight prayed to the Spirits in the hopes that one of New-Claws would show interest in the career path. Her own little Moon was one in particular that Finchflight had an eye on. During her base training, Moon seemed enamored by the Herbalists den, and out of all the kittens, she had a real knack for balancing on thin ledges. That kind of focus was important up on the Cliff Gardens.  

In the meantime though, Finchflight had been working on the perfect gift to help Wrensong with her task. At first she’d thought to offer to take a few Keepers up to the Cliff Gardens if she thought they wouldn’t just get in her daughter’s way and accidentally trample an important plant. This way, everyone wins. And I don’t have to get my paws dirty! She thought proudly as she examined her gift once last time to make sure it was ready.

“Now hold on, my little bird!” Finchflight called out to her daughter. Wrensong’s ear flicked backward in recognition. A wry smile crossed Wrensong’s face as she turned back to her, which was replaced with a puzzled stare as she saw what Finchflight was carrying.

“Mom? What in the Ancient One’s forest did you make now?” 

Finchflight looped the pouch over Wrensong’s head. She didn’t make a fuss. In fact, she seemed amused. After getting the pouch on Wrensong and adjusting it to fit her, she looked up into her daughter’s eyes.

“See? Isn’t that nice? You can put all sorts of things in here! You’re always complaining about how heavy those roots are.” 

“Come on, Mom...You fuss too much. I don’t need anything to-”

“Nonsense! This will help with your work! I made it especially for you!”

 Wrensong rolled her eyes, but Finchflight could tell that Wrensong was quite grateful for the gift. “Thanks, Mom.”  She purred and gave her daughter a lick on the cheek as a sign of affection. 

Wrensong started to leave again and Finchflight called out, “Just let me know if it needs any further adjusting when you get back. I can take a look at it tonight when I’m telling stories to the kittens.”

“Sure. I’ll let you know.”

Okay okay okay. So like… we have an art project in art class(wow) where we do a bunch of drawings and for one I decided “hmm what if Fire family twin sisters?? Because there are PARALLELS TO BE MADE” as in Squirrel and Leaf and Ivy and Dove. And then I thought “Actually all the fire family sibling duos where they were essentially raised as twins wether or not they had other siblings that died almost immediately or were still born actually are really interesting constructed to eachother” because like!! They all are set up perfectly to be so similar to eachother but there’s always something there in how they treat eachother.

Like Squirrelflight and Leafpool are there for eachother no matter what, Squirrelflight would do anything to try and make her sister happy and Leafpool would literally die to save Squirrelflight and reality checks her all the time. And they are put through so much shit together and come out closer at the end only to be dragged apart again(funnily enough all 3 times this happens is due to StarClan. The journey, the ‘follow your heart’ thing, and death). And they’re super close to a point that for a little they had a psychic link. And with the whole three thing, they have eachother’s backs no matter what and will face against everyone they ever know together. And they’re always talking to eachother whenever they can. It’s explicitly stated to be WEIRD when Leafpool is avoidant towards Squirrelflight when she’s seeing Crowfeather. Even if everyone else hates them, they have eachother and that’s enough. But they do have friends other than eachother.

Ivypool and Dovewing start out super close just like Leaf and Squirrel, but in comes StarClan again. Dovewing is cast as one of the three and pretty much immediately after they’re apprenticed she’s dragged away to the beaver dam. Sure Ivypool gets a bit jealous there, but they can still talk. But Dovewing keeps getting dragged away and gets extra attention and importance and the moment Ivypool gets a chance to feel as important and takes it. And slowly they end up talking less and less, despite Dovewing trying to reach out. But Ivypool at this point she’s full of it and doesn’t pay her any mind. And eventually it gets to a point where despite Dovewings efforts even after the great battle, they do end up being friendly to eachother though. They end up on alright terms but are more like old friends from school. Dovewing notably has a good support system in ShadowClan and Ivypool has one in ThunderClan, but before the great battle Ivypool just had the dark forest that she wasn’t actively turning away and DoveWing had their mom and the ones putting pressure on her and Tigerheart. They probably could have ended up on much much much better terms if Ivypool had a better support system than the dark forest since then she’d have people to talk to.

Sparkpelt and Alderheart again start close, and with how great at warrior stuff Sparkpelt is Alderheart is in a perfect position to get jealous. And he does! Especially once he’s forced to be a medicine cat. But they still do talk, and Sparkpelt helps keep his spirits high. And while due to Alderheart’s quest they’re separated they’re still close. And they’re there for eachother if needed, and can also lean on others if needed. Sparkpelt treats Laderheart with nothing but joy and care, and so he returns that- all be it in a much quieter way.

And then… there’s Finchflight and Nightheart. Finchflight has the same(if not much more) pressure put on her than Nightheart does him, but still tries to treat him kindly. Nightheart has nothing but vitriol to spew towards her. But Finchflight keeps trying to talk to him, then he leaves to find catmint and comes back angrier. Finchflight does make a bigger deal out of the naming ceremony that needs be and keeps pushing at him to take the name Flameheart instead, which is a bad thing, but this is the only negative thing she’s ever done to him. And he HATES her and then just leaves and pretty much goes “no fuck you. You want me to do CHORES” when she asks him to come back to ThunderClan since he left without even saying goodbye. Finchflight should have some level of anger but she doesn’t. She still cares about him and WANTS to be close siblings but he absolutely despises her, not for the one thing she’s done but for everything else. And he blames everyone around him for him being a fucking idiot, but is treated with nothing but compassion by his sister.

Like in alternating order they’re duplicates in how they treat eachother but on the religion it’s far more strained. So compressing it all down you get:

Squirrelflight & Leafpool: They have eachother’s backs, care for eachother, will die for eachother, and reality check eachother if needed

Dovewing & Ivypool: Strained, but friendly. They respect eachother and care about eachother but more so as friends than sisters. Seperated but they talk plenty.

Sparkpelt & Alderheart: They care about eachother and cheer eachother up, they’re super close and got past any amount of jealousy there. They’ll step on eachother’s tails time to time, but it’s all fun and games.

Finchflight & Nightheart: They barely even talk, Finchflight wants to be close siblings and cares and Nightheart despises her pretty much just for existing. Nightheart is just gone, and still spews vitriol.

And that, is why on the art project I have Leafpool and Squirrelflight, Dovewing and Ivypool, Sparkpelt and Alderheart, and Finchflight. Because everyone despite everything still talks and has that connection, besides the newest duo. Only Finchflight still wants to be siblings, only Finchflight is there.
