#fireheart au

[m1smatched-starsigns]

I see a lot of fics where the writer leans into Fireheart’s more naive, himbo-traits and that’s fun and all, but

I think it’s easy to forgot that Fireheart was a natural fighter, had a lot of stone-cold lines, and was never above treason or breaking the code when he thought it was justified,

And those are the traits that are being amplified in this Fireheart AU that I’m writing and it’s been really fun and interesting, and I hope this fic ends up being something that I want to stick with, and it’s something that eventually sees the light of day!

Haha remember that AU I mentioned in the 'list of my AUs post' about Pinestar being Firepaw's dad? original I know

What if Tiger still hates Fire but this time because he sees Fire as everything Pine wanted in a son. Pinestar left him and his sick sisters to become a kittypet, but stayed in his soft kittypet home for this guy and his what's-their-faces littermates?

Firepaw is the perfect apprentice and later warrior. He's even given the suffix 'heart,' the same suffix that Pinestar had!

And he talks so much about his dad back home, the games they would play together, or a warrior would mention something about a frog and Firepaw would pipe up "oh! my dad, Pine, told me this one story once where this frog...."

and it annoys Tiger so much. Makes him so furious. Because while Tiger was growing up, mourning his sisters, mourning his mother, wondering why his dad left, his dad had been raising someone else with all the love in him?

It was easier before, to think that Pinestar was just a bad father. But now it was more complicated than that. Tiger wasn't one to wonder if he wasn't worth it, but the subconscious thought still dug into him.

Now from here, the AU could branch out. Does Tiger take Fire under his wing, only to manipulate him and turn him into someone horrible so he is no longer so perfect? Is Fire torn between loyalty to his brother, his father, and Clan? Do they know from the beginning? Does only one know? Do they find out later, when they're already sworn enemies?

The possibilities are endless!

Warrior cat AU where nothing changes except: Fireheart/star is a Munchkin cat. Letterally everything is the same, just Fireheart is a tiny little man. Just a tiny little dude. Everyone Fireheart/star fights and wins against never wants to talk about it.

Whitetail: "Wow you're really beat up, who did you fight against? Lionblaze? Dustpelt?"

Onestar: "...I don't want to talk about it."

Reblogs appreciated more than likes

Fire Heart, better known more locally by the nickname "Rusty", is a mail pony that lives in the small village of Hayford. Dreaming of a life more exciting than his small town routine, he's given the opportunity when he encounters the Alicorn ruler of the Kingdom of Thunderhelm and is swept up into a whirlwind of secrets, betrayal, friendship, and more.

Can you share details of the Fireheart aus?

The thing is, I feel like it requires quite a bit of explanation to make sense and I don't want to completely spoil it, but let me try anyway.

In Fire and Ice there is a plotline with ShadowClan scents consistently appearing on ThunderClan's territory. Fireheart finds more evidence of this (rabbit bones with scent) and he brings them back to camp to show Bluestar, but she's on patrol, so he brings them to Tigerclaw instead, and Tigerclaw leaves for ShadowClan with a patrol.

Fireheart is the only warrior left in camp at this point and then Brokenstar and his rogues ambush the camp. Looking back, this is clearly something that Tigerclaw and Brokenstar planned. So what if their plan works and Fireheart is killed?

BUT. If you've read Conscience, Thy Name is Stonefur then you know I love a good haunting. So Fireheart only kinda sorta dies and when he comes to again, he begins seeing a ghost. A ghost that he's never met before but we, as readers, know exactly who it is (feel free to guess who it is but I actually doubt anyone will, lol).

And so the premise of the AU is that it's a retelling of the first arc but "what if Fireheart died but came back and has a new StarClan companion 'haunting' him".

There are other switches that take place before the first chapter, such as: Fireheart and Graystripe are Not made warriors after the kit rescue; Fireheart, Graystripe, Sandstorm and Dustpelt are all made warriors together just a little bit after Frostfur's kits are apprenticed; Cinderpaw does not go onto the thunderpath so she does become a warrior (but who takes her place?? hmm...); Silverstream becomes pregnant earlier than in canon;

And perhaps one of the biggest things: Tigerclaw's weird behavior at the Moonstone is explained (rather than just "he got scared"). There are actually quite a few things about Tigerclaw that are expounded upon. Tigerclaw makes some very different moves in this AU. Like. Moves that I have literally never seen explored in another AU before. Like what I have planned for Tigerclaw could be it's own AU itself.

Fireheart is different too. He's still the same Fireheart that we all know and love but death will really change a cat, and he doesn't quite feel like his normal self, and so this is a hardened, colder version of Fireheart. So far he's been very cool to write (for all of my 300 words lol).

Anyway I'm sorry this is not a very clear explanation, but it's the best I can do without spoiling everything (which I really want to do because I do want to talk about it, lol). If this is something that ultimately won't become fic then I'll come back and give a play-by-play of what takes place so you aren't left hanging!

Until then, feel free to ask about it, and I'll answer questions to the best of my ability!

Tigerclaw and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Senior Warrior Position AU

In a world where deputies can only be named after their first apprentice has been granted their warrior name, Tigerclaw struggles to keep an apprentice alive long enough to earn their name.

or, a comedy-tragedy AU in which having an apprentice isn't enough — you have to see them to their warrior name, and Tigerclaw cannot fucking get any of his goddamn apprentices to live, damn it.

—

It starts out mostly normally, except for the fact that Tigerclaw hasn't gotten any apprentices to their warrior name, and he needs that so he can accomplish his (very noble, of course) kitty genocide goals. And also be the supreme leader of the world or something. Darkpaw died stupidly, he hasn't had a chance since, and now he's got some tiny thing that's afraid of his own shadow.

Well. It'll have to do.

So naturally this man is so protective over Ravenpaw that Ravenpaw barely even leaves his sight. Firepaw and Graypaw think that this is adorable. Look how much Tigerclaw cares about his apprentice!!

Ravenpaw, of course, is fucking terrified and also slowly losing his mind, just in a different way.

—

"Redtail assigned us to go on a patrol to Snakerocks." "OH NO HE DID NOT. WE'RE STAYING IN THE SANDY HOLLOW WHERE IT'S SAFE."

"Nothing matters more to me than making you a warrior, Ravenpaw. Nothing." And the terrible thing is that Ravenpaw is sure he's being sincere.

—

Ravenpaw disappears and Tigerclaw nearly fucking has a conniption because the timing was all RIGHT and he was going to finally get the position AND HE NEVER GOT HIS DAMN NAME FUCK.

"Do you think I could convince the elders that Fireheart was my apprentice?" "Fireheart was Bluestar's apprentice, as approved by StarClan. You're going to have to wait for the next litter to be apprenticed."

So he begs and begs and gets Cinderpaw and then she accidentally falls into the trap he'd set for a better deputy candidate at the Thunderpath. Fuck.

—

Well. Time to resort to drastic measures.

"I was thinking that Darkstripe would have been a good name. Because he had dark stripes." "Again, Tigerclaw, it's admirable that you loved your apprentice so much, but I cannot grant him a name." "Are you sure?" "Honestly, Tigerclaw, I'm not sure he ever would have gotten a name. Missing quite a few feathers from his nest, that one..." Fuck. The worst part was that she wasn't even wrong.

— Swiftpaw and Brightpaw get mauled by the dogs he set up to happen like right after he got the title and they sprang it before and he's like FUCK NOW WHAT DO I DO WITH THESE DAMN DOGS? His world domination plans literally never come to fruition because he cannot keep his apprentices alive/in the clan/his own.

— "Brightheart counts. She HAS to count." "Actually, Cloudtail took over her training…" [demented noises]

—

Turns out that Ravenpaw is alive and no one — no one — in the Harper Collins Extended Universe is happier than Tigerclaw.

"You're alive! …You deserve your warrior name!" "Actually, I've come to peace with my name and my way of life. I have no need for a—" "GET YOUR FUCKING NAME RIGHT NOW RAVENPAW OR SO HELP ME STARCLAN—" "I know you really wanted Ravenpaw to become a warrior," Barley says gently, "but he's made his decision. It's very kind of you to acknowledge that he deserves it, though. You must have been so close as mentor and apprentice." Tigerclaw's eye twitches. "Yes. Close. Very... close." —

He finally, finally retires as an elder after his plans go absolutely nowhere for years on end. And maybe StarClan is still like "Brambleclaw would be chill actually, we can forget that pesky little law" and Tigerclaw is sitting there like "excuse me what the actual fuck?" —

But at this point Tigerclaw is about as dangerous as Ashfur without a freak forest fire. Which is to say about as dangerous as using a leaf as a weapon. Which is, incidentally, how Darkpaw managed to get himself killed in the first place.

—

"Is this the Dark Forest? This has to be the Dark Forest. It doesn't look like Thistleclaw described it, but it must be. This Clan is all an elaborate punishment meted down by StarClan for my sins." "Tigerclaw, sir, I'm just here to help you with your ticks. See? I have the mousebile right here." "…Yes, thank you, Alderpaw." — Graystripe joins him in the elder's den and he's like, "You know, Ravenpaw thought you were up to some… scheme, back in the day. Crazy, right? You've been a model Clanmate as long as I've been alive." [muffled screaming] "Huh, what do you think that is? It sounds almost like someone killed a rabbit, but they know not to come this close to camp…"

[cryptidclaw]

Rusted Black Firestar!

here's what happens when sun shines on him!

Ive decided this won't be the design I use for my au but I made a completed version of this design anyways!

maybe in this hypothetical au he's Redtail's son or something bec of the red tail ... idk .

[warrior-cats-rewritten]

I really love the "Tigerstar is Swiftpaw's dad" AU. It doesn't change that much storywise, but it just makes it really tragic with Tigerstar sending the dogs that kill him and him wanting to prove himself.

To be honest I really thought for the longest time he WAS Swiftpaw's dad.

God... Tiger spying on Gatherings and not seeing Swiftpaw there. Overhearing apprentices gossip.

"Did you hear what happened to Brightpaw? I hope she doesn't get an infection."

"Better than what happened to Swiftpaw."

But... What happened to Swiftpaw? Where was he? Was he hurt?

Tigerstar getting his 9 lives and seeing his son standing in the crowd, glaring at him with a look that chokes him. He sees the glittering scars and puts 2 and 2 together. That was his son, his baby, his precious boy so full of potential and life and so stubborn and proud. Why was he not given a name? Why did Bluestar treat his son like this? She gave a name to the bastard kittypet child, but denied his son? She's to blame of course, not him, he would have named him Swiftstrike or Swiftfang, something respectable and powerful. His son... Sitting there with his other lost child, lost so young, they both look so unhappy...

Seeing Swiftpaw amongst his own victims as he keeps dying over and over again. Begging them each time to help him. Help me Swiftpaw, please, please, you love me, I'm your father you need to do something you need to save me please Swiftpaw please don't let me die I'm your papa I love y

Watching his other sons, another child of his lost too young, Tadpole was so much like him too, fearless and strong.

Comparing Hawkfrost to Swiftpaw in the horrible way that parents do. Come on Hawkfrost that was sloppy, Swiftpaw had that technique down and never left apprenticeship, you'll avenge me and your brother, Firestar was deputy he could have said something, it would have saved your brother's life.

Seeing Swiftpaw during the Great Battle giving a blessing to Firestar. Realizing he gave Firestar a life and just... Losing it. Firestar stole his son from him, and let him die, and his perfect son still gave him a life?! Why?!

Oh it all just goes perfectly.

Although... It does give Tigerstar the widest family tree EVER.

Lynxkit, Swiftpaw, Brambleclaw, Tawnypelt, Tadpole, Mothwing and Hawkfrost. Oof, gift giving events have gotta be a nightmare.

[sunshades-frozen-sky-take-3]

I was looking at the new warriors figurines and saw Longtail, and it got me thinking...

What if...

Kittypet childhood friends Longtail au.

[mommyclaws]

"If any cat can turn a kittypet into a Thunderclan warrior, it is you, Tigerclaw."

The clearing of cats murmur around him in shock. Firepaw's pelt quivers with excitement and anxiety. Tigerclaw would be his mentor?

He turns to see the massive warrior among the crowd, anticipating his reaction. If Tigerclaw was suprised by the decision, it didn't show on his face. He only blinks and dips his head in silence. Bluestar goes on,

"It will not be an easy task, but I trust you will pass your courage onto him. Train him well. I have great expectations for you both."
