How does Firepaw/heart play into your au? Does he still have a crush on Spottedleaf?

He's still the main character energy orange cat we all know and love! I've considered actually making him a medicine cat apprentice instead of Cinder, especially because of his connection with Starclan in canon, but he just has so much warrior energy, so I'm still on the fence about it. Though I've thought about him training as a warrior, switching to a medicine cat, and then becoming leader being interesting. Give him as much experience as possible with all ranks the clan can have, while also properly harnessing his starclan connection. (Which could also cause issues for Spotted down the line and complicate things even more)

And I've thought about this a lot, because I personally didn't care for Fire's feelings for her but I think he'd have a small, one-sided crush on her. It'd fade pretty quickly, but I'd believe it if it's still there, albiet not as intense as in canon. Much less some weird devoted thing and more comedic teenage crush that he grows out of.

There's probably some silly antics with him being shocked that Tigerclaw's big evil scary self is by her side so often when they're not working, especially since him, Greypaw and Ravenpaw are always together, and Ravenpaw has a slight inside scoop on what's going on there. It's not like Spotted and Tiger aren't at least mildly mushy together on patrols, so Ravenpaw's probably got a hunch. Stupid apprentice shenanigans insue while Tiger kinda just sits there exhasperated at this former kittypet and his friends.
