“It wasn’t an omen. Sometimes bad things happen. I did everything I could, but Brightsky was too sick and it made her kits sick, too.”
Brightsky’s kits are three tiny kits with round eyes.
notes:
- kits of Brightsky + Mudfur, siblings of Leopardstar
- according to Su Susann they were named Oatkit, (golden she-kit with very faint dapples and green eyes) Waterkit, (white and ginger tabby she-kit with amber eyes) and Carpkit, (mottled brown tom with a white belly and muzzle and green eyes)

Note
so if Mudfur kind of regretted taking Leopardstar to the clan, instead of leaving her safely with Brightsky (well, regretted might be strong word? he did felt like Shite given how she turned out).. then how did Leopardstar felt about him becoming a cleric after winning a fight with Adderfang? i know that timeline-vise she was probably a baby and probably didnt had strong opinion Yet, but like.. if she looked back at his decision, was she be disappointed? angry even?
i have seen posts with how Mudfur felt about her later, but i dont think i seen anything about how Leopardstar felt about her dad.. and maybe even her mom (if she even has memory of her or anything)
Ohh nonnie you're right. Let's talk about BB!Leopardstar.
She is absolutely ashamed of what Mudfur is. She was born after all these glorious stories of her father took place, but to say she was "raised in his shadow" would be a misstatement. She was raised with his legacy as a SETTING SUN.
It was something in the distance, just below the horizon, painting the sky in royal pink, gold, and purple. Though she had never seen the sun itself, the impacts it had on the world were breathtaking, awe-inspiringly beautiful.
And yet, the sun had hidden itself away. Its magnificence is fleeting. He had locked himself away in the Cleric's den, and acted as a Mi to herself and her sister, setting nightfall upon RiverClan
How DARE he? When you are radiant, worth SO much to your Clan as an undefeatable warrior, LEGENDARY in your strength, you should feel RESPONSIBILITY to share that warmth. But he, with only the paltry connection to StarClan of a regular warrior, had chosen "his own happiness" and forsaken RiverClan in the process.
And to be breaking your Vow as a Cleric, to be RAISING CHILDREN when you should be serving your Clan?? Had he not taken to heart the story of Larkstripe? Or respected the pain and sacrifice of Moth Flight as her children were (given/stolen/claimed/bestowed)* to the Clans?
How selfish! And Hailstar enabled him!
Leopardfur is the great-granddaughter of Volestar, who was appointed by Darkstar herself to continue her legacy in spite of any opposition from Oakstar. Volestar kept RiverClan out of the Crusades and was the ONLY outspoken opponent of the madness, adamantly defending the Queen’s Rights and asserting that her Clan was different from the other three.
Leopardstar wants to set this legacy "straight."
Darkstar, Volestar, Hailstar, and eventually Crookedstar are a line of cats who have allowed RiverClan to become weak. Clerics raising kits! Accepting help from Fireheart! Obvious violations of the Law of Loyalty! StarClan took Silverstream to TEACH CROOKEDSTAR A LESSON and yet he just allowed Graystripe to waltz right in bearing the HalfClan kits like a gift, asking him for details of his treachery.
When she took power, she was glad to finally be able to explore options for ousting Mudfur. If he wouldn't take an apprentice, then she would simply exile him and have Tigerstar's cleric train a new one.
So. She did.
Did it pain her? Yes of course, he was her Mi, after all. She does love her family, yes, yes. But she knows the meaning of the word "sacrifice," and HE does not.

Leopardstar is adopted in my pseudo-au. Because ain't no way that Mudfur (a light-brown tom) and Brightsky (ginger or some shit) make a FUCKING BENGAL.
So, Leopardstar is adopted by Mudfur :D
Brightsky only appears in super editions iirc, so since she doesn't appear in mainline books, she won't appear in my au either.
WELL, she does, but she isn't a RiverClanner.
Brightsky here (might get renamed) is a wildcat-domestic mix. So obviously, she's a rogue. She's bigger than the average Clan cat, tougher, etc. But she's still sweet.
What the hell even was Brightsky's personality…
Anyway, yes, Brightsky is nice if she wasn't before. Feral in a not-Clancat-feral way, but still nice.
She comes across an asian leopard cat that escaped from the zoo.
I'm skipping a lot here but basically they fucked and boom Brightsky is pregnant with a litter. ALC's can raise their young together, but this one decides not to stick around, and Brightsky respects that decision because y'know, he escaped from the zoo and he doesn't want to be tracked down.
So they part ways, and Brightsky wanders while giving birth, yada yada. She goes into labor on the outskirts of RiverClan territory. Mudfur was looking for herbs nearby and heard Brightsky screaming bloody murder.
So Mudfur, being the nice kind compassionate moral soul he is, helps this absolute stranger who is very hostile and snapping at him through her birth. Brightsky doesn't thank him, but she lets him help clean her litter.
Mudfur knows how to hunt. He brings Brightsky a few small fish from a nearby stream. She doesn't eat them.
Three of the kittens are weak and young. Mudfur offers to rush for some herbs to help Brightsky with her milk production, to help stop the blood loss, etc. She tells him to fuck off.
He doesn't take it personally because she went through a tough birth.
As the kits struggle to suckle, a larger one pushes her siblings aside, particularly eager.
Brightsky allows Mudfur to nose at her kits, helping them to find a place to eat. She's deep in thought, and it's only at sunset, hours after the kits were born and hours after Mudfur was supposed to return to RiverClan, does she come to a decision.
"That one," Brightsky lays her head on her forepaws, fixated on the largest kit. "She's particularly large, isn't she?"
Mudfur looks at her, surprised. She doesn't meet his eyes. "Yes," he agrees eventually. "She's the strongest of an unfortunate litter."
Brightsky looks at him, and Mudfur thinks he might've said the wrong thing.
"Your colony will need her."
"What?" Mudfur feels his pelt bristle, from the tips of his ears to the end of his tail. Did this molly, who has been fighting with him during the entire birth, just offer to give up her strongest kit? "But-"
"I've already made up my mind." She looks away. "This is my 'thank you.' A gift from me to you; after you gifted me your courtesy."
Mudfur can't move. He's astonished.
"She will grow up well under the eye of tens, instead of just me alone."
Finally, Mudfur croaks, "What about her siblings?"
Brightsky says nothing more.
Luckily, Shimmerpelt is nursing already. Mudfur bows his head, carefully grasping the kit's scruff, ignoring her mewls of protest. He sees the molly stiffen, but she doesn't move, doesn't even watch as he pads away, leaving the herbs he collected at her paws.
And she doesn't respond to "Stay safe. Your daughter will grow strong, as will her siblings, and as will you once more."
Nobody really questions where Mudfur got the kit. Nobody questioned where Oakfur got his kits from. It's just not their nature to question this under Crookedstar's leadership. They do question Mudfur's whereabouts.
He can't tell him where he's been, or why he doesn't have herbs if that's why he left in the first place.
Shimmerpelt agrees to nurse his the kit. She says she wants to encourage socialization for her own kits, who fuss at the mere scent of someone foreign. Mudfur can't thank her enough.
He doesn't name the kit until a few days later when he's sure she'll survive, because that's what he wants, what the Clan wants, and what that somber molly would've wanted.
A gift from me to you.
A name isn't a gift. It's a commodity.
Strength is both.
Mudfur goes to speak with StarClan in the dead of night. Praying that the daughter of the molly will live to see glorious days, fight for RiverClan to her victorious ends. He prays that she never exhausts when things get tough and never crumble to pressure.
He forgets to pray for heart.
#this is a very rough sketch of Leopardstar in my AU#she's massive and hulking (ik wildcats aren't that much bigger than domestic cats but shh)#both Brightsky and Leopardstar's father was on the larger side for their species#which is why Leopard is so big hehe. average Riverclanners reach her shoulder.#but yeah this is a base premise. everything can change BUT Leopardstar being adopted.#this sets up Leopardstar for who she is in my pseudo-au.#why she acts the way she does and why she makes the choices she make. nobody knows of Leopardstar's true heritage but Mudfur and herself#and it's very obscure to the both of them. they don't know who her father is and Leopardstar only heard of Brightsky through Mudfur#Brightsky was very distant toward Mudfur. He can't say much other than what he saw on the surface#warrior cats#mudfur#leopardstar#I FORGOT TO MENTION THAT THE TIMELINE IS STILL A WIP FUCK#well hopefully you read here D:

This was fun to do! If it doesn't show any difference between the lives of male and female leaders, it's at least fun as a little chart to see the lives some leaders got and by who.
One thing I have noticed though is that it's almost always 'a mother's love' unless the life was given by someone related to the receiver but who isn't their mother. If they're a sibling or child, it's just 'love,' but for some reason it's specified to be a mother's love when the giver is either the mother of the receiver or an unrelated she-cat. Even the males get 'mother's love' instead of father's love.
I think it would have been better if Shellheart had given Crooked the life for a father's love.

STARCLAN’S LAST RESORT AU NOTES #1
Been meaning to update with some ideas on this AU but have really been struggling art wise, so here are some random world/character building thoughts and ideas I have currently.
The story takes place in the old forest after deforestation, and the entire surrounding area is sort of post apocalyptic/ barren and almost purgatory like, though as to why this is and how the sudden destruction of the clans happened is still under construction.
THUNDERCLAN
I’ve already decided the first “main” group that gets revived in Thunderclan are Scourge, Princess, Smudge, Swiftpaw, Shrewpaw, Snowkit, Mosskit, Elderkit, Tulipkit, Juniperkit, and Dandelionkit. All of them were chosen based on unfair deaths and each cat’s connection to Firestar or Tigerclaw/star in some way.
Other returning Thunderclan members currently under consideration are: Thrushpelt, Frecklewish, Birchface, Speckletail, Snowfur, Bluestar’s parents, Swiftpaw and Snowkit’s siblings, Mapleshade’s kits, Honeyfern, and possibly Briarlight.
ABSOLUTELY returning next would be: Pinestar, Leopardfoot and her kits, and Goosefeather, which I feel could add a lot of drama and unique interactions based on unresolved feelings from the earlier events of the books.
A possible change would be changing some parents of characters to prevent inbreeding or odd story choices (ie Darkstripe being the father of Brindleface’s kits), though I fully intend to properly address the extremely uncomfortable abuse/manipulation in relationships and large age gaps that are brushed over in canon, as well as bringing up some character traits that are often overlooked or ignored in said canon as well.
One of the main ones I’ve discovered is Stormtail, Bluestar’s father, who’s alarming behavior has been mostly overlooked. Including his age gap relationship with Moonflower, his bullying and pretty much implied attempted murder on Goosefeather, the neglect of his kits till they live up to his expectations, and of course, his implied affair with Dappletail, which also concerns an age gap. I hope to expand on these details with lesser looked at characters like this some time in the events of the AU
Finally for Thunderclan, Scourge would receive a leader role but would not have nine lives, and would possibly mentor Swiftpaw or Snowkit. I’m also considering Snowkit becoming a medicine cat, but not as a way to push him in there because of his deafness. Since the clans have been destroyed and rebuilt with these revived cats, I feel some warrior code would change, idk if Scourge would really want to keep everything exactly the same if he’s now in control of clan life. Snowkit would be a sort of battle medic, doing both warrior and med cat duties equally. Swiftpaw and Shrewpaw would gain a friendship, along with Snowkit and Mosskit! Snowkit would also support Goosefeather in many ways.
Pinestar would return but still be extremely distant and attempt to live as a loner in the new barren world, though he would definitely keep being pulled back into clan life and his inescapable actions. Also learning about his revived kits, his grandson, and his great grandchildren (Dandelion & Juniper), would probably affect him in some way. Him and Leopardfoot are divorced (yippee!!! 🎉🎉) but still struggle with having to work together to keep the future of the clan safe.
As for the other clans!! I don’t have a ton but here’s what’s gonna possibly happen there.
RIVERCLAN
Do you remember Whiteclaw?? No?? He was Leopardstar’s apprentice who fell over the gorge. He apparently also had a crush on Silverstream before his death. I feel him and Thrushpelt could relate to have one sided crushes on girls who end up not being at all interested in them and having a romance with the neighboring clan cats instead. (Solidarity) Willowbreeze would return with her kits as well as Brightsky and her kits (Leopardstar’s mom)
SHADOWCLAN
There is some Lord Of The Flies stuff probably happening in Shadowclan, so many apprentices and kits died there from Brokenstar’s reign among other things, daycare has gotten out of control.
WINDCLAN
Also a lot of dead apprentices in Windclan! I thought there would be a similar scenario, except Antpelt comes back and has to babysit all of them. Also possibly maybe Darktail’s unnamed newborn siblings join???
EDIT: JUST REALIZED I PUT FERNCLOUD INSTEAD OF BRINDLEFACE FOR DARKSTRIPE’S MATE I’M SORRY
#also been thinking of extremely background cats or even cats without names#possibly Troutstream or Songbird#Songbird died while she was pregnant in a battle!!! :(((( She needs a chance#some cats also died of cancer or seizures which is also super sad might bring them back#kittypets loners and rouges may also come back if there needs to be variety#au#alternate universe#warriors au#wc#wc au#Starclan’s Last Resort AU#warrior cats#post apocalyptic#post apocalypse#scourge#princess#smudge#Tulipkit#Elderkit#Shrewpaw#Swiftpaw#Dandelionkit#Juniperkit#Snowkit#mosskit#Whiteclaw#Willowbreeze#Brightsky#warriors#antpelt

Moon High: Chapter 14
Trembling legs and fluffed up fur were the sight that greeted Treeclan as their missing apprentices returned home. Cats had just begun to grow suspicious of their whereabouts by the time their paws touched the leaf littered floor. Wolfheart was the first to come up to meet them. His face shone with relief.
"Kits!" He called out, examining each of his frazzled children as they gathered around him. He expression shifted back to one of concern. "What's wrong? What's happened?"
Moonpaw pressed her body close to her father. Her heart was pounding in her chest, throat tight with thorns of grief that she fought to speak through.
"Skunkpaw...Skunkpaw's been kitnapped!" She choked out. Magpiepaw began to sob again, as if Moonpaw's words had been a remainder of what they'd witnessed.
The clan drew back in astonishment.
"Kitnapped!?" Sunpaw caterwauled. His ears folded back with panic.
"What do you mean?" Asked senior warrior, Oakfur.
"Who's taken him?" Brightsky demanded to know as she pushed her way through the crowd. She came to stand beside her family. The worry in her eyes barely masked the flame of fury which burned behind them; the passion of a mother's love. The desire to protect and save her kit was unmistakable.
"Twolegs..." Smokepaw began to explain. He held his posture upright, as the tremble in his pelt betrayed the brave face he was putting on. "The four of us were out playing in the woods when a pack of Twolegs came along. Their kits tried to play with us a bit. And then they tried snatching Skunkpaw."
"Sw-Swiftpaw of Grassclan interfered to help us flee," Magpiepaw chimed with a trembling mew. "And then...and then Skunkpaw was taken!"
A murmur broke out among the crowd as the clan exchanged wary glances. Some, Moonpaw could hear, were worried this meant the Twolegs were after the clan again. While others speculated Skunkpaw's kitnapping was planned. That Grassclan somehow coordinated it to happen; to downsize Treeclan's ranks. Moonpaw could hardly believe some of the things her clanmates were saying. But all fell silent as Blazestar took his place upon the Great Stump to address them.
"It's tragic what's happened to Skunkpaw, today," Treeclan's leader began. "He was a good cat, and would have made a fine warrior of Treeclan, had they gotten the chance." The blazing tom's orange gaze settled upon Moonpaw and her littermates, a darkness settled within them. It was as if he were silently judging them. Like he thought they were to blame for Skunkpaw's kitnapping. Moonpaw felt a pit form in her belly.
"What do you plan to do about what's happened?" Wolfheart asked his leader. He stepped in front of his kits bravely, even as Blazestar stared him down.
"There's nothing to be done," Blazestar answered simply.
"We need to send out a search party," Brightsky counteted insistently, eyes round. She looked from her mate up to Blazestar. "We need to find Skunkpaw!"
"We can't waste the energy looking for some lost apprentice," Blazestar grunted with a flick of his tail.
Brightsky reared back for a moment in surprise. Her mouth hung half agape as searched for the right words to say. "That apprentice is my son! I cannot sit by comfortably knowing that he's been kitnapped by Twolegs. Who knows what they will do with him. He could be hurt!"
"The answer is no," Blazestar's meow was hostile, softening as he continued to speak. "We'd be risking other warriors' safety by sending them into Twolegplace to search. The Twolegs hunt our clan enough as it is. I can't take the chance of that increasing. We've lost too many good cats recently, your son included. Besides, Skunkpaw is a brave tom. I know he will be alright, wherever he is. They're a great tracker just as you are. They'll find their way back to us if they can, I'm sure."
"Please, Blazestar. If there's a way to bring Skunkpaw back, then we must act." Brightsky's gaze hardened with seriousness as it met with the leader's. "I know you don't understand what it's like to lose a kit. But if it were one of your sons who went missing, wouldn't you do everything in your power to bring him home..?"
Blazestar was quiet for a few moments, head lowered slightly and eyes foggy with deep contemplation; or perhaps with fear of the possibility. "...Very well, Brightsky. We will send a patrol out to Twolegplace come sundown. If you're up for it, you may lead it. Bring whomever you'd like. But beware, and be safe. You will be held accountable if anyone should get harmed."
Brightsky dipped her head. "I understand. Thank you, Blazestar." Standing upright, the queen turned to speak with her remaining kits. "You three know Skunkpaw better than anyone. I'd like to ask you to join the search party, if you're up for it."
"Of course!" Moonpaw chirped, pelt tingling with excitement.
"We'll find that stupid fuzzball and bring him back home," Smokepaw agreed, looking a lot more relaxed than before. Although Moonpaw wondered if he was holding back his anxiety for the sake of his kin.
"I'll be going as well," Silverhawk meowed as she padded over to stand beside her fellow queen. "Skunkpaw's my apprentice. That practically makes them my son, too."
"And I want to come!" Volunteered Blazestar's son, Flamepaw. He scurried over to stand beside Smokepaw. "Skunkpaw's my best friend. I need to know if he's ok!"
"Alright," Brightsky agreed. "Anyone else? Wolfheart?"
Upon being prompted, Wolfheart raised his chin and gave a curt nod. "You couldn't get me to stay behind, even if all of Lionclan were attacking our camp."
Moonpaw let out a small mrrow of amusement. She loved when her father was so enthusiastic. And right now his determined demeanor would come in handy. It would rally the rest of the search party, to look as hard as they could for Skunkpaw.
"Well then...I'm going to wait in camp," decided Magpiepaw suddenly. "One of us should be here, in case Skunkpaw finds his way home alone."
Moonpaw knew that wasn't the only reason her sister was opting out of joining the patrol. She was too visibly upset still to serve as any help, and it was clear Magpiepaw knew that too.
"In that case," Blazestar meowed, stretching before jumping off his perch, "that should leave some room for me to join the search party."
"Blazestar?" Wolfheart questioned.
"I'm Treeclan's leader," Blazestar answered as he met with the other cats. "I have more lives to spare than any cat here. What's the point of having them if I don't go on dangerous missions like this? I'll come along, if only to act as bait should a dog, or Twoleg, or Starclan knows what else tries attacking. But I'm still holding you accountable in case that happens, Brightsky. "
Brightsky's eyes grew misty with gratitude. She dipped her head to the blazing orange leader again before lifting it to meet his eye. "Thank you," she mewed softly. "That should be enough cats, then. Our party will set out as soon as the last light fades."
"Oh, but can't I go too?" Tigerpaw asked eagerly as she moved to stand beside Moonpaw. Her yellow eyes were sparkling at the prospect of going into unknown territory.
"And me?" Sunpaw chimed, looking just as excited as he padded over to them.
"No, you're staying here with the rest of the clan," Blazestar asserted to Tigerpaw. Then he turned pointedly towards Sunpaw, "And you, certainly not! There's more than enough apprentices in the search party. We don't need more coming along to cause issues. "
"Not fair," Tigerpaw muttered.
"Then why does Flamepaw get to go?" Sunpaw questioned, though there was no agitation in his tone.
"Because Flamepaw is more aware of his surroundings. He's better suited for a mission like this. It's nothing personal against either of you."
Then, Blazestar turned his attention towards the search party. "I suggest you all see Mothsong, and get your traveling herbs. Before anyone else tries joining the patrol. You'll be needing all your strength to travel through the Twolegplace. I'll be along shortly."
"Yes, Blazestar," meowed the search party, Moonpaw included. She followed behind her family as they made their way towards the weeping willow. Tigerpaw padded after her.
"This sucks!" she griped with an exaggerated pout. Sunpaw followed at her heels, giving a firm nod of agreement.
Moonpaw purred a little, brushing her tail along the tabby's shoulders. "Don't worry, Tig. I'm sure Blazestar will let you go on another mission in the future. But this one is serious."
"I know that," Tigerpaw growled a little. "It's not like I wouldn't treat it as such."
"But knowing you, you'd probably try and fight a kittypet to get answers out of them," Moonpaw purred, amusement in her tone. "And knowing you, you'd be more inclined to make some new friends while we're in the Twolegplace, Sunny." Tigerpaw's expression softened into a playful smile. She lifted a paw to bat at Moonpaw, then allowed the silver and white molly to go on ahead without her. She blocked Sunpaw whose mouth opened to quip something silly and unimportant before he gave up the attempt. Moonpaw waved her tail at her friends as she disappeared into the medicine den to prepare for the long search ahead.
~~~
The last of the day's light faded behind the horizon, just as the Treeclan search party crossed the border into Twoleg territory. The eyes of her clanmates flashed in the faint glow of the Twoleg dens in the distance. Moonpaw glanced between each of them. The blue eyes of her mother stood out the most. Determination was held within them.
"We should all split up," Brightsky suggested, voice low. "We'll cover more ground that way."
"Is it wise to let the apprentices go off on their own, though?" Wolfheart wondered with a nervous twitch of his whiskers.
"They knew what they were getting into when they agreed to help search. They'll be just fine," Silverhawk assured.
Though Wolfheart seemed a little skeptical, he simply nodded in agreement. Then he picked a direction and began walking in it, disappearing behind some bushes. The other cats in the search party went off too, leaving only Moonpaw and Smokepaw to linger where they stood.
"I'm heading in that direction," Smokepaw stated, pointing with his tail. "Try not to go too far."
"I'll be nearby," Moonpaw promised before swinging around. Her eager paws carried her forward. She stuck her nose out with jaws parted slightly to taste the air. But nothing familiar caught her attention. So she wandered off farther, following a row of Twoleg dens lined with white wooden fences. Each seemed unique beyond their borders; some blue, some brick, and some white as clouds. Only a few remained lit inside, while some nearly branchless trees loomed above Moonpaw's head. Each had a light source shining from a single protruding branch, casting Moonpaw's shadow along the dirt path she tredded. Moonpaw hoped the sight of her silhouette would not alert a predator to her presence.
"Hello there!" Moonpaw froze in place, slowly turning to see who had called out to her. In a garden just a fox-length behind her was a silver tabby kittypet. Her long fur swayed in the gentle breeze, and the yellow bell on her collar jingled as she carefully balanced herself on the fence posts marking the end of her territory. She had a warm smile on her face, and a curious gleam in her eyes.
"I've never seen you around here before. Are you new to the neighborhood?"
"No, I'm just passing through," Moonpaw replied, relaxing and raising her tail.
"Oh really? Where are you from?" The kittypet asked curiously.
"I come from the forest." Monpaw tilted her head in the direction of home.
The kittypet perked up at her answer. "Does that mean you're clan cat?"
Moonpaw wondered how a kittypet knew what a clan was. Still, she lifted her chin proudly at the acknowledgment. "I am.
The kittypet trilled in response. She seemed strangely elated by the news. "How neat. Oh my name is Misty, by the way!"
"I'm Moonpaw," responded the apprentice. She was glad to find someone so friendly here to talk to. Hopefully Misty would have some useful information to share.
"Yknow Moonpaw, you look kind of familiar. I wonder if we've met before? Or perhaps I've met one of your kin?" Misty queried.
"Actually, I'm here looking for one of my kin! Maybe the cat you're thinking of is the same?" Moonpaw started to grow hopeful.
"It's a possibility! Who is it you're trying to find? Your mother?" Misty guessed. Her eyes twinkled in a way that spoke of a secret longing she must be carrying. Moonpaw hated to disappoint her.
"No, my brother. They're a really fluffy black cat with white streaks, and the most kitten blue eyes you could ever find in an eight moon old cat. Do you think you've seen him?"
Hearing this, Misty deflated. "Oh. No, I'm afraid not..."
Moonpaw purred a little and forced a smile, trying to cheer both herself and the kittypet up. "Well, thank you anyways, Misty," she mewed with a small head dip. "By the way, what's the name of the cat you think I remind you of? Maybe I can ask around and help you find them."
"No no, it's alright. You just remind me of a cat I love... But she's moved on to live a grander life than I can give her here. I'm not trying to find her. I'd just hoped to find out if she's finally happy."
"Well, I'm sure she must be. But I'm also willing to bet that wherever your love is now, she's missing you too."
"That's a kind thought." Misty sighed. "I'm sorry that I couldn't be more helpful to you, Moonpaw. But I wish you luck with finding your brother. If I see any cat that looks like your description though, I'll tell them you were here."
"Thank you again, Misty. Goodbye," Moonpaw meowed, continuing to walk the dusty path ahead.
"Goodbye, little snowflake. Take care!" Misty called after her, her voice fading the farther Moonpaw traveled from her garden.
Moonpaw went back to her search, sniffing around for signs of Skunkpaw. Then she turned a corner three bear-lengths ahead and Smokepaw's scent made it to her nostrils. His voice quickly followed it.
"Moon, come here! I think I've got a lead!"
Bristling, Moonpaw raced to where her littermate waited. Then she skidded to a stop in front of another white fenced den. Here, Smokepaw stood atop the posts, a tom with a brilliantly ginger pelt beside him. The kittypet was chubby, with a long perfectly groomed coat and an odd trianglar head. Smokepaw seemed to be intrigued by the other cat, eyes gleaming as he looked at the pampered tom. Or maybe Smokepaw was just that excited about the information the kittypet had to share.
"Moonpaw, this is Oliver. He said he might have seen Skunkpaw pass by here!" Smokepaw mewed with excitement.
Moonpaw looked up at Oliver, squinting her eyes as his bright pelt glittered in artificial light. "Is it true? Do you know where our littermate is?"
Oliver gave a nonchalant shrug. "I might. I saw a cat matching the description Smokepaw gave earlier today. He was laying in the back window of a car as it drove past."
"A...car?" Moonpaw echoed, confused.
"A, uh," Oliver glanced at Smokepaw, "a 'monster', I think is what you wild cats call them." Smokepaw nodded in recognition, Moonpaw humming curiously. "Anyways, I recognized that monster. It belongs to some neighborhood housefolk. They don't live far from here. I could take you to their den, if you'd like."
Moonpaw perked up at the offer, nodding her head enthusiastically. "Please," she responded, almost sounding desperate. Oliver chuckled at her reaction. Then he gave his body a stretch, leaping down from his fence onto the dirt path. Smokepaw followed right behind, standing close to the other tom as the three cats began their walk to the mentioned Twoleg den. They padded around a corner or two, Oliver and Smokepaw chatting quietly as they went. Moonpaw hung back a little, keeping alert for possible danger. Eventually, Moonpaw started scenting Silverhawk nearby. She trilled out, trying to catch the Den Mother's attention. At her call, the silver and black tabby came trotting from up ahead, looking to the apprentice as she approached. She looked expectant, hopeful even.
"We've got a lead," Moonpaw told her. Silverhawk's eyes lit up. Then she turned back in the direction she came from.
"Wait here," she told the three younger cats. "Your mother's close by. She'll want to follow you." Then, the queen disappeared from sight again. After a few moments, Brightsky came running over, Blazestar and Silverhawk not far behind. She rubbed her flank against Moonpaw's as she joined her daughter alongside the two younger toms. Blazestar eyed Oliver suspiciously as he approached, while Silverhawk nudged Treeclan's leader to keep him from becoming hostile. Oliver tipped his head in greetings to the warriors, glancing between each of them.
"There's more cats looking for your brother?" Oliver asked Smokepaw, who nodded in response. "Wow. Who knew one kitten would be so popular." The kittypet's comment sounded playful. It was clear he wasn't taking the situation seriously at all. Moonpaw felt her belly twist as she realized that fact. Had Smokepaw not told Oliver about what happened to Skunkpaw?
"Popularity has nothing to do with it," Silverhawk replied, pulling Moonpaw from her thoughts. "Skunkpaw was taken from us. We want to find him because we care about him."
Oliver's eyes grew a little wider. His expression confirmed Moonpaw's suspicion. "Of course," he breathed, voice sounding softer, more serious now. "But I'm sure he's alright. No housefolk would ever harm their pet."
Although the kittypet's words were meant to be reassuring, it set off something in Blazestar. "Skunkpaw isn't a pet. He's a Treeclan cat!" He growled. But Oliver was left unphased.
"It's probably hard for a kittypet to understand," Moonpaw figured, glancing at her leader.
"Not true," Oliver countered, pointing his muzzle to promt the search party onward. "I have a friend who ran away to be a warrior. I understand the call to be wild...kind of. But maybe clan cats can experience a call to peace. There's nothing wrong with being a house cat."
Blazestar growled some more. But Silverhawk ran her tail along his spine, calming Treeclan's leader.
"But Skunkpaw was stolen away," Brightsky reiterated. "It's not like he came to Twolegplace willing."
Oliver hummed. "I guess in that case, it makes sense to worry. But Skunkpaw didn't seem too distressed when I saw him earlier. So he's probably fine."
"I hope you're right," Smokepaw murmured, moving closer to the bright orange kittypet.
A silence fell over the patrol as they snuck along. They hid a few times in the nearby shrubs when a stray Twoleg or two walked past. One had a small dog with it, who stopped to yap at the clan cats' hiding place. Moonpaw unsheathed her claws, ready to strike the mongrel should it stick its muzzle where it didn't belong. Instead, the Twoleg gave a harsh tug to its lead, pulling the creature back onto the desired path. When they'd left, the search party continued on again. Eventually a small den came into the view, near the end of the dirt path. A short brick wall surrounded it on all side. But the entrance was left ajar, just wide enough for cats to slip through.
"Are you sure this is the right place?" Silverhawk questioned quietly as the search party paused at the territory's threshold.
"This is where I've seen the monster rest," Oliver confirmed. Moonpaw peered past where the party stood, sweeping the territory for signs of the mentioned monster. But it was nowhere in sight. And the scent of it barely lingered in the air. But another scent did. Brightsky noticed it, too, Moonpaw realized. Her mother's nose twitched, mouth opening to draw the smell over her scent glands. After a heartbeat, her eyes lit up.
"I smell him...my kit!" Brightsky breathed, rushing ahead. Blazestar meowed for her to wait, but it was too late. Moonpaw moved to follow her mother as Brightsky stalked skillfully along the grass. She was approaching the Twoleg den as if she were hunting a prized squirrel. Moonpaw kept a few paces behind, glancing to see Blazestar and the others trying to catch up. Blazestar managed to pull ahead, running at full speed to round Brightsky and stand in her path. His posture was imposing, expression stern.
"What do you think you are doing? Don't just rush in without thought!" The leader hissed.
"I smell Skunkpaw," Brightsky repeated. She looked like she was trying not to cry. Her voice sounded so hopeful, nearly relieved. Blazestar was the opposite.
"I'm going to scout ahead," he meowed to everyone. "Wait here for my call." Then he turned, walking to the other side of the den. The rest of the search party gathered together, listening intently, in case of danger and news. Not long after, Blazestar caterwauled. Moonpaw was the first to find him. Blazestar had managed to find a way into the Twoleg den, a dark expression on his face. Moonpaw's heart dropped.
"Come see," he motioned for his cats to come through a window with him.
The inside of the den was dark, and cold. Walls expanded around them, as tall as trees. The place reeked of Twoleg. But the inside of the den was devoid of anything. No bedding, no strange objects. Just walls, a floor, and a few scraps of trash. The place looked abandoned. But Moonpaw could smell Skunkpaw in here, strongly. Even if the scent was growing stale. Brightsky caught it, too. She sniffed at the corner of a nearby wall, rubbing her cheek on it.
"Skunkpaw marked here. I can smell his fur," she mewed quietly. "He was here.... he left us signs that he was here...."
"But now..?" Silverhawk asked, glancing from Brightsky to Oliver.
"They must have moved away," the kittypet mewed in realization. "That has to be why Skunkpaw was in the car--uh, monster. House cats rarely get put inside of them. Unless we're going to the vet, or being moved someplace. And that would explain why the house is empty, too."
"So where did they go?" Moonpaw wondered. "Where did they take Skunkpaw?"
Oliver shook his head sadly. "I can't say... They could be anywhere. I'm...I'm really sorry."
Hearing his words, Brightsky sunk to the fuzzy floor. She let out a quiet sob, covering her muzzle with her paws. The rest of the Treeclan search party exchanged glances.
"...We can't give up yet," Smokepaw piped suddenly. He stood up taller, puffing up his chest. "Dad and Flamepaw are still out there searching. We should be, too. Just because the Twolegs moved camp doesn't mean they aren't still in the area. Let's keep looking!"
Smokepaw's speech seemed to give everyone the encouragement they needed to keep going.
With little hesitance the party slipped back out of the Twoleg den. Oliver helped Moonpaw and Smokepaw talk with other kittypets in the area, while Brightsky, Blazestar, and Silverhawk went off on their own again. They searched the Twolegplace for the rest of the night, sniffing around and yowling Skunkpaw's name until the sun began to rise.
At dawn's first light, Treeclan's search party gathered by the border, thanking and leaving Oliver behind. They each spoke of their findings; of discussions made and smells caught. But not anything important to share. It was as if Skunkpaw had disappeared from the earth. Depressed, the patrol made its way back into the woods, finally ready to mourn the lost apprentice with the rest of the clan.

can I maybe have some trans ftm leopardstar x sasha hypokits?? :o
Warriors Ship Hypokits: FTM!LeopardstarxSasha Edition
In this AU, Tigerstar kidnaps Sasha after she tries to leave him after she discovers how awful he is and imprisons her in the ShadowClan camp. Around this time, he also begins threatening RiverClan, which was much more heavily affected by the flood than in canon and has been left incredibly vulnerable. When Tigerstar approaches RiverClan with an offer to combine their forces, he makes it clear that RiverClan has no choice in the matter and if they do not willing join him he will take them by force. When Tigerstar takes Leopardstar to the ShadowClan camp to further threaten him into complying discuss their new alliance, Leopardstar is horrified when Tigerstar introduces him to his captive "mate". Leopardstar begins trying to help Sasha as best he can while trying to undermine Tigerstar and free his clan from his influence. This all comes to a head when Tigerstar tells Blackfoot to kill Stonefur. Leopardstar gives a special signal and the entirety of RiverClan attacks. Due to the surprise nature of the attack, they win. Stonefur and Leopardstar gang up on Tigerstar and kill him nine times until he finally dies for good. Sasha is freed and understandably wants to leave after all the stuff that has happened to her but is too heavily pregnant to do so. Leopardstar lets her stay in RiverClan to birth her kits. She gives birth to and raises Hawk, Moth, and Tadpole in RiverClan. Unlike in canon, Leopardstar doesn't let anyone talk badly of her and her kits and is very protective of them. While he has developed feelings for her, he doesn't impose because she just got out of an abusive relationship. Sasha appreciates it. While she originally planned to leave after her kits were ready to be on their own, she ends up staying after catching feelings for Leopardstar. The two eventually get together after a long process. Mothwing, Hawkfrost, and Tadpolesplash are especially enthusiastic in their celebration of the relationship.
Leopardstar and Sasha have three kits together via a donor. Sasha carries the kits:
Mudlight- shaggy-furred brown point tom with amber eyes. Cis tom, gay. Named after Leopardstar's loving father Mudfur, who passed sometime before the birth of Mudlight and his siblings. Mudlight is a quiet and contemplative cat who is most often found staring off into space, completely lost in his thoughts. When he was a kit, his parents thought that something was medically wrong with him or he was experiencing visions from StarClan, but it turns out he’s only a chronic daydreamer. He makes entire worlds up in his mind and imagines how things would be in those places. Sometimes Mudlight gets a bit too-engrossed in his daydreams and walks into things or falls into nearby bodies of water, but he always picks himself right back up and starts back where he left off. He is an excellent storyteller due to his impressive imagination and his stories are enjoyed by many cats. He is a Lake-Watcher.
Brighttongue- sleek blue-gray point tolly with blue eyes. AMAB nonbinary, toric (nblm). She uses she/her pronouns. Named after Leopardstar's mother Brightsky. Brighttongue is a chatty, friendly cat with a bit of a mean streak towards the few cats she dislikes. She prefers to spend her time gossiping, and loves going to Gatherings for that reason alone. She loves learning new things and skills and is a jack-of-all trades despite technically being just a Scout. She has a lot of friends in both RiverClan and beyond who she talks to about everything under the sun. She knows the gossip in literally every Clan and will happily discuss it with anyone with no regards to consequences. She probably has a half-clan relationship (or several) during her life. Brighttongue is a Senior Warrior by the time Mediators are implemented, but she insists on becoming one until her retirement. She is a Scout, then a Mediator.
Jaguarpelt- brown spotted tabby demi-tom with blue-gray eyes. AMAB Demi-tom, asexual. He uses he/they/ae pronouns. Jaguarpelt's resemblance to Leopardstar was quite the surprise to both his parents, but was a very welcome one. Ae are a lazy cat who spends most of aer time either napping or nodding off. They often shirk their duties to nap, asking apprentices to do their work in exchange for a favor later (which is most often Jaguarpelt letting them get away with something that would get them in trouble otherwise). Leopardstar tries his best to keep his child engaged- and it works sometimes. While Jaguarpelt is basically a bum, he enjoys swimming and does it for fun when he isn’t asleep, making him surprisingly muscular and strong from the exercise. Ae are also a startlingly good climber and jumper, although ae reserve that behavior as a party trick to impress cats and startle those who think ae does nothing but sleep. They are a Diver Hunter.

So I'm Thinking about a Snowstar AU (A Evil Snowfur AU) Inspired by QueenBluestar and Yuki!
After Watching Lion Eyes: Snowstar AU, This Actually gives me A lot Ideas for a Snowstar AU, But I'm going to do a lot of Things which are not Canon or Canon,There might be OCS in the story so be warned
Mapleshade's Vengeance's is Canon, But with a Change,Since Birchface and His Mate Softfeather(OC) had Nymphflower and Glaciereye before his death, Leaving Softfeather devasted, I'm Also Planning Frecklewish's Redemption Arc, but I'm going to need help with writing, But In the End Frecklewish saves Reedshine from Mapleshade and goes to Starclan due to her Redemption
Crookedstar's promise Is also Canon However His Mother Rainflower gets Karma,Echomist helps Crookedjaw to Speak up and says that what he went through by Mother, Hailstar Exiles Rainflower, After she Attempted To get the Dogs to the Riverclan Camp, She gets Killed by the dogs and she goes to the Dark Forest after that plan backfired
Goosefeather's Curse is Semi-Canon,Him seeing Starclan cats and Prophecies and Becoming a Medicine Cat is Canon he’ll be a med cat bc he wants to be one, but overall, what happens in the novella won’t be a thing. mostly pairings and whatnot, bc I find Thrushpelt, Tawnyspots, and Dappletail being littermates absolutely ridiculous considering they’re established to be completely different ages in BP, So I Headcanon Dappletail come from a Single litter of Windflight and Rainfur Along with Tawnyspots of Stormripple and Basilseed while Thrushpelt was a Abandoned kit and was Fostered by Rainfur
Yellowfang's Secret is Canon, Just like the Original Hopekit and Wishkit are Stillborn, Brokenkit and Heatherkit Survives and becomes Brokentail (Later on Brokenstar) and Heatherthorn (Later on a IceClan Deputy and Later on Leader of IceClan of the Name of Heatherstar)
Pinestar's Choice is Not Canon But he Still becomes a Kittypet and Hangs out with Jake and Shanty, But not Mate's with Leopardfoot, Instead Leopardfoot is going to be the Mate of Glacierfoot's Grandson Flamestorm,Who Unfortunately died from a Joint Infection, Mistkit dies from Problems at birth, Tigerkit, Rook-kit and Nightkit Survived and becomes Tigerclaw(Who wasn't evil in this AU at all), Rookflight and Nightshade (Yes Nightkit Survives in my AU and Becomes Cold,Wrathful and Distant from her Brothers and the Others)
Leopardstar's Honor isn't Necessary Canon, She Still Loses her Mother Brightsky and Her Siblings(Lilypadkit (Renamed Oatkit), Waterkit and Carpkit), She didn't become Deputy but Bluefur becomes Crookedstar's Deputy,Much to her Disappointment but proud for her
Tallstar's Revenge is Canon,Left Unchanged
Spottedleaf 's Heart is Not Canon,I Really Don't like it, instead Spottedleaf as Spottedkit Couldn't Decided which to be a warrior or White Mage (Renamed Medicine Cat),But Soralwing's Incident with Deathberries as Soralkit made her Into the Pathway of a White Mage
Redtail's Debt is Not Canon,He is still saved by Tigerclaw from the Hawk as Redpaw, Which means Sunfish lives!(So Rejoice!)

What was Leopardstar and Carpwhisker’s relationship like?
You know how in Fire Emblem Awakening how there's that side character whose entire existence is dedicated to a running joke that he's the biggest person in the room... but no one sees him, ever? To the point where they even end up thinking an extra goblet at dinner must belong to a ghost?
Face obscured by Chrom's knee on the box art, Mike Wazowski magazine style?
Carpwhisker.
I'm GUTTING Leopardstar's Haggis. It is in the bottom 5 WC entries for me. Leopardstar's childhood bullying was cheap and brainless. How fucking dare they, actually?
How dare they take their ONE confident, intimidating female character, DEFINED by how she was beloved in RiverClan and by her apprentice generation, had no romance, and wasn't a mother figure, and fuck up ALL THREE THINGS???
So. Anyway.
If anyone gets bullied it's Carpwhisker, still by Skyheart.
Brightsky didn't die; she became a kittypet. There were four kits.
Carp, Oat, Leopard, Water.
Mudfur took Carp and Leopard home, due to their resemblance to their famous ancestor, Volestar.
If Mudfur knew what Leopardstar would become... he would have left her there, with her mother. He regrets bringing her back to RiverClan
He feels he should have known better. He became a Cleric shortly after returning because he came to believe that the constant fighting was wrong, and yet...
What did he expect?
Carpwhisker is a nervous wreck who can't stand up for herself despite being as big as a badger, and Leopardstar eventually booked herself a rock appointment
I feel like at some point, Carpwhisker learned the secret about Brightsky... but keeps it to herself.
She can't imagine Leopardstar taking it well, "and um, she's..." (Carpwhisker grasps for words not wanting to outright say she's terrified of her) "...she's a wee bit intense about bad news."
You know that one post about the kid who got severely bullied in school, the teacher put on Dumbo, and they watched every single one of their bullies cheer for the underdog? All the bullies think they're Dumbo.
That's poor Carp. I feel like she used to really like Aftergatherings until Leopardstar told her about the reputation of those events, and that attending them was making Carp look disloyal.
People often take credit for her achievements. She was the one who made the Bonehill practical-- it's not solid bone, it's a mud facade with a layer of bone around it. Tigerstar said it was TigerClan's achievement, and his by proxy.
When Carpwhisker was struggling for breath to correct him, Leopardstar gave her a sideways glance and killed the thought.
So, Carp's relationship with Leopardstar is not great. But Carp defends her, and loves her, and insist she knows best.
Leopardstar is a better friend of Skyheart than she is a sister of Carp. Leopard's beloved by that whole group, and a natural leader from a young age.
I think when Leopardstar dies, Carp is distraught by it. Inconsolable, and it's really hard to tell her in that moment that it sounds like she's a lot better off without her.
She'd probably end up hanging out with Mothwing a lot, seeking spiritual advice. Moth just gives her normal, mortal, nonspiritual advice, but Carpwhisker thinks it's divine.
After all... they both did just lose very toxic siblings that they still loved very much, and are kinda working through that.
In terms of politics, Carpwhisker is a weak-traditionalist. Really, she just goes along with what's popular at the moment, and doesn't make waves. She's conflict-avoidant, and just tries to make others happy with her hard work.
Most of all she just wants peace, really. What if there were no problems forever and everyone was just nice and well-fed and we all took a big nap in this warm den I made. What then.
SO all that to say... She loved Leopardstar. Leopardstar was awful to her. "We're sisters! It's just like that!" (It Is Not Like That.) She was hidden in her shadow. She thought the shadow was normal. She's destroyed when her sister dies. She can only begin to recover once she's gone.
#BB!Carpwhisker#BB!Leopardstar#Better bones au#BB!Mudfur#If BB had book covers I would even have it like Carp keeps getting hidden behind things lmaoo#Like Mudfur leaving the home and the angle causes leopardkit to obscure Carpkit#But then if she had a big role later talking to Mothwing#FINALLY she'd be visible on the boxart and smiling#She's also got like 3 major deaths to go through in TNP#Her dad her sister and a child#Something about RiverClan cats just makes me want to put them through The Horrors i swear#tw abuse
