What's my boy Longtail up to in this au? :3

Sorry this took me a moment to get to! I wanted to make sure I had Longtail's arc all ironed out LOL

It starts out mostly the same. Since Rusty doesn't join Thunderclan, that entire Longtail fight scene doesn't occur. Tigerstar is able to successfully take out all of his potential opposition, and Ravenpaw isn't able to escape, so there's no suspicion around him. Longtail isn't privy to his plans like Darkstripe is; when he finds out that Tigerstar not only killed Bluestar, but also had a hand in Swiftpaw and Brightpaw's mutilation (still named Brokensight and Lostface at the time), he pulls away from Tigerstar, and during Tigerclan era (which is thunderclan and shadowclan in this au) when Tigerstar orders Blackfoot to kill the nonclan and halfclan cats (his target here is Goldenflame), Longtail jumps in and loses his life defending Goldenflame, Featherpaw, and Stormpaw. He gives a life to Goldenflame at his leader ceremony for justice!
