#duskberry is named a little after nighcloud

[warriorsbutnotreally]

OKAY OKAY UM AKSKSKSKS UM

BREEZEPELT X DOVEWING ??? HYPOKITS??? MAYBE A AU WHERE SHE HOOKS UP WITH HIM AND NOT TIGERHEART?? (I imagine this is a AU where Breezepelt is less of a ass though, sksks) 👉👈

So, to start

I had to change some things up about Breezepelt's life to make this work, since him being stuck between an unstable relationship between two cats who never really loved each other and just wanted to prove their loyalty did really poor for his mental health

I decided in this AU he's the son of Nightcloud and Onestar

Onestar and Nightcloud having gotten together after Night properly apologized for her part of the coup and the two ended up getting really close

Crowfeather got with Whitetail to prove his loyalty and, together, they are the parents of Heathertail

but that's a different story

Breezepelt still has anger issues and picks fights, but I don't imagine him training in the Dark Forest, though cats keep trying to tempt him into there, including his friend, Antpelt

Breeze and Dove officially meet [not including gatherings or border patrols] when Dove is in WindClan camp, helping with a situation because she overheard someone in danger

The two talk and they don't hit it off right away, as Breezepelt is very stubborn

However, at gatherings the two end up talking more and more and they end up meeting in secret and falling in love slowly over time

he tries to talk Dovewing into moving to WindClan, but she's nervous about the idea and it takes until Purdy's death for her to decide ThunderClan isn't worth staying in because of how obsessive Bumblestripe is

She moves to WindClan and that's when the two decide to start their little family

[skipping some details I had ideas for for the sake of time]

Duskberry, Windfrost, and Hazefang!

Duskberry is the glue of his siblings and the first born of the three [though they're from the same litter and Hazefang insists it doesn't matter who was born first, but he keeps calling himself the big brother and needs to make sure none of them are left behind]

He's a lovable goofball who only wants the best for his family

Windfrost is our Shadowsight "replacement" and fae are a rather nervous cat who wants to be a warrior and doesn't want a grand destiny placed on faer shoulders

Fae hate the attention and just want a nice, simple life

Hazefang has a lot in common with her aunt, Ivypool, especially when it comes to how she treats Windfrost. She's bitter and jealous and hates that Windfrost is apparently so 'special'.

She feels bitter and has a massive tendency to lash out at others

.

Windfrost, with low self-esteem, is the one Ashfur manipulates into getting what he wants with little regard for how fae feel about it and actively tries to guilt and harass faem until fae listen.
