FleaThistle keeps HornetLeg’s pelt as a carpet. It’s near the dirtplace. TawnyPaw uses his skull as a ball and likes to throw it off of trees and see how far it rolls each time. - @wills-woodland-warriors

heck yeah! fuck that guy!

[wills-woodland-warriors]

what are Tawnytrot's kits names + genders?

WoolcarderKit (Molly, after the European wool carder bee)

AshyKit (Molly, after the ashy mining bee)

Everyone in tawny’s bio family line is named after bees (tawny mining bee for tawnytrot, hornets for, well, HornetLeg)!

Just realized I've never played this Hornet Leg record. Was so excited after playing that last one! One of the joys of doing this playing one record thing is you get to rediscover how much you really dig on some things. Hornet Leg fucking ruled. #hornetleg #onerecordaday #music #records #vinyl #vinylcollection

Known Victims: Brindlekit

Victim Profile: small, mouse-like kitten

Cause of Death: deathberries

Cautionary Tale: don’t let the acts of a parent reflect on the care of the child

Story:

Tawnykit was a sweet child, but that didn’t effect much in the long run.

Hornetleg died when she was three moons old, but even at that young of an age she understood her father was a horrible cat.

She didn’t know what he did, but from the glares and the constant guard watches, it was very clear her clan didn’t trust him.

Hornetleg was always a good father though! Sure, he was oddly affectionate with her sometimes, and made mean comments… but he was her dad, that had to mean something, right?

Tawnykit felt like that was how she was meant to think. But her life got so much better after he died.

Cats were nicer! She was happier, and she felt free. She became an accidental trouble maker, often trying to chew things she found. Sticks. Pebbles. Herbs. All prey she found.

Mice was her favourite, and she would often steal mice from the pile or dens.

She was, of course, scolded, but mainly the Clan ignored her. Her mom died from sickness shortly after her birth, and with her father now dead she was mostly alone.

Her Clan blamed her uncoordination, her half-blindness, her lack of claws and night-vision as a curse from Starclan.

The clan claimed that she wouldn’t be a good warrior. That she was weak.

Tawnykit just wanted to play with moss balls, and throw pebbles to see what one would go farthest!

She had a few playmates, and was ecstatic one night when a queen gave birth to a new kit, Brindlekit.

She would have a new friend, and she could teach him all the games and facts she’d learned.

But the Clan wasn’t as excited as her. Only a few hours after he was born, in the middle of the night, the Clan ran around, yelling so hard it hurt her ears.

It wasn’t until Brindlekit’s mother  snapped at her for being in the way, her teeth clipping her ear and causing it to sting and bleed, that Tawnykit grew fed up.

While the Clan argued, she ducked into the nursery. Spotting a small pinky grey mouse laying limp in a nest, she decided she’d show them to treat her better by stealing the prey.

Then someone would have to talk to her and tell her what was going on.

The prey tasted weird, and was a lot.. fresher then the mice she’d had in the past. It didn’t even taste much like a mouse.

It wasn’t until her stomach ached, and her mouth frothed that she realized something was wrong. She swayed on her feet, and tried to call out to the warriors out front.

She slipped, and her world went black.

Additional Information:

--Submission by @wills-woodland-warriors​ the submission and photo sent just fine!

--She’s named after the tawny mining bee

--Brindlekit had been murdered with deathberries, which was what all the panic was about. The deathberries were still in his throat when Tawnykit ate him

--She’s 3 moons old

--She was treated differently than her siblings were because she looks very, very similar to Hornetleg.

--The reason no one knew about her in the Dark Forest, despite the fact that she died not long before Fleathistle, was because Hornetleg hides her in the Dark Forest, so when he was killed a second time she was left trapped in a pit where she couldn’t climb out and could only cry for someone to hear her.

--Hey Starclan! Starclan quick thing! *flips the bird*

Fools Puddles | short story part three (final) 

FleaThistle woke up with half his body soaked and, the mud falling off of him in clumps. His body stung and ached, and he had a jolt of panic as he remembered. 

“RaspberryKit?” He called out, paws scrambling in the think water to stand up. 

“Papa!” The cry was cut off by a ‘shh’ sound, and FleaThistle’s looked up at the top of the pit where his kit was. 

HornetLeg was sitting behind him, his paw on the small kits tail. Scratches ran down RaspberryKit’s tiny body, his eyes blown wide in fear. 

“What are you doing here,” FleaThistle glared at his former mentor, trying to keep his voice steady. 

“Don’t you want to spend time with me?” At FleaThistle’s snarl, he shook his head and continued, “Tsk. I thought since you took my kit, id take yours.” 

Panic and anger ran through FleaThistle, and his claws were unsheathed in the water. He couldn’t get up the pit in time to reach HornetLeg before he hurt RaspberryKit. 

GremlinFrost had gone for help, and from the sound of bubbling puddles they couldn’t be that far from them. Someone would find them. 

“You left TawnyKit in a pit, she nearly drowned!”

“Mistakes happen,” HornetLeg groomed his ear, not a care in the world for the shaking kitten at his paws. 

“Mistakes? She’s your daughter. She’s three moons old, for stars sake. She couldn’t even swim,” he shook his head, baffled at the toms words. 

He rolled his eyes, digging his claws into the kits tail until he heard a yelp. 

FleaThistle bit his tongue, his whole body tense and ready to leap up at any point. He shifted, and was reminded of the injured leg that was tainting the water red. 

“Why are you doing this?” FleaThistle shook his head, voice more resigned. He couldn’t make HornetLeg mad. 

“Because you took everything from me. My reputation, my life, my kit,” HornetLeg hissed, eyes narrowed and cold. 

FleaThistle felt lightheaded, and planted his paws in the mud so he didn’t sway. “Are you kidding me. Are you kidding me,” he laughed awkwardly, strained. 

HornetLeg simply stared at him hatefully. 

“You hurt me so many times, you beat me regularly, you ruined my life and friendships. You made the clan hate me, and for what? So you could have an apprentice you didn’t have to train?” 

HornetLeg opened his mouth, but FleaThistle continued on. 

“So that you couldn’t have any responsibilities. You ruined my life, and you ruined TawnyKit’s as well. And I found a family, I found peace here. Now you want to hurt my kit?” 

He could hear his heart beat, and his blood felt hot as he stood up to his mentor for the first time. 

RaspberryKit blinked between the two, his ears pinned down and nose twitching in anxiety. His bottom lip was swollen, as if it had been scratched. 

FleaThistle heard paw steps, and voices carried away by the wind. HornetLeg heard them as well, stepping off of the kits tail and backing away as he gave a low and long hiss. 

FleaThistle couldn’t see what he was so afraid of, but he heard pawsteps and then FadingStar was leaping into the pit, splashing water everywhere as he slammed into him. 

“You’re okay!” He breathed a sigh of relief, burying his head in FleaThistle’s shoulder. His breath was warm against his skin, a stark contrast to his cold fur. 

FleaThistle smiled, licking his mates cheek. 

At the top of the pit, BrownMouse was grooming RaspberryKit and whispering gently to him. He nudged the kit, turning him away from the fighting behind him. 

FleaThistle heard hissing and spitting, and yowls as claws were raked through skin. He heard MyrtleWing and AlderStar arguing over who should kill him, and JackDaw snapping at them both to “stop their fox snouted whines” before he killed them both. 

FadingStar finally released him as the cries stopped, and stepped back as AlderStar appeared at the ledge, his golden-yellow legs stained with blood. 

FadingStar supported FleaThistle, pushing him up carefully so that he didn’t hurt his leg. AlderStar pulled him up by the scruff. 

RaspberryKit ran to his feet, asking if he was okay. He reassured him, licking at the messy fur. 

He was a little banged up, mostly with small scratches that would heal in a couple days. 

Lightheaded, FleaThistle sent small thanks to LilyDawn under his breath.  

Beside them, out of the kits view, he could see a glimpse of a mangled body, and of JackDaw stepping away from it, blood dripping from his muzzle. 

As he stepped back, a light weight draped across his shoulders as JackDawFoot pressed against his side, head resting on FleaThistle’s back, the fluff obscuring his vision in a half-hug. 

“I’m glad you’re okay,” the tom said quietly, barely above a whisper. 

“Thanks, dad,” FleaThistle swayed on his feet, exhaustion setting in as he leaned against his family. 

His eyes drifted closed, blinking slowly as he watched RaspberryKit attempt to stand on BrownMouse’s head. 

______ 

I’m exhausted so I have no clue if this is even coherent but there’s a squirrel in my wall screaming at my cat for the past several hours and I tried lol 

BrownMouse, FleaThistle, LilyDawn and HornetLeg belong to myself. 

RaspberryKit  is co-owed by myself and the lovely @liberhoe, who owns FadingStar 

JackDawFoot, AlderStar and MyrtleWing belong to @residents-of-the-darkforest 

[wills-woodland-warriors]

FleaThistle: you are my friend and I care about you but I can’t look at your eyes because I’ll start sobbing 

CopperPurr: hey don’t cry it’s okay, I understand, would you like to plant some carrots? 

FleaThistle, sniffing: yeah 

(@liberhoe and @residents-of-the-darkforest)

[residents-of-the-darkforest]

@liberhoe and @residents-of-the-darkforest Hear me out, what if.. what if HornetLeg found the kits? What do you think would happen? - @wills-woodland-warriors

something bad for sure

[residents-of-the-darkforest]

@liberhoe FleaThistle helps CopperPurr make paint out of plants! He has to keep his head down though to avoid looking her in the eye because it reminds him of what he did to HornetLeg - @wills-woodland-warriors

This is somehow both happy and sad at the same time

Cursed

Fadingstar is cursed. 

That's the only reason he can think of. It's why Starclan wanted nothing to do with him, why Ferretrunner abused him, why both of his mothers were killed right in front of his eyes. It's why he's stuck in a barren grove feeling like his paws are made of boulders while his eyes feel as though they are weighted. 

After he had died, he had met some amazing new cats. Ferndoe, Jackdawfoot, Alderstar, and Myrtlewing. He met his now mate, Fleathistle, and they had kits together.

But Fadingstar is cursed. He has to be.

While the stars above glimmer with a brightness he's never felt, Fadingstar is desperately holding onto his sanity while he races through the entirety of the Dark Forest looking for his love. His other kits are with his mama, being taken care of, but there are two cats that are missing. The thoughts in his head shoot painful shards of terror through his veins. Hornetleg is still 'alive'. Ferretrunner is still 'alive'. And both of them will slaughter his mate and kit the second they get a chance. 

His heart hurts beyond belief, but he forces himself onward. He already failed Skyclan, his mothers, Starclan, and himself. 

He won't fail them. He can't fail them. He has to find Fleathistle and Raspberrykit. 

Fadingstar knew he never should have gotten close to any of the cats here. Wherever he goes, only trouble seems to follow. He is cursed, after all
