Moon One.
Burrblur brought back three halfclan kits and refused to talk about their origin. Despite the protesting of one particular clanmate.
Sprucekit and Blotchkit are now Sprucepaw and Blotchpaw.

Missing Kits, Part 2/?
Part 1
Dragonflykit - Greenflower's son, now surviving greencough. Dragonflypaw is mentored by Grasswhisker, and becomes Dragonflynose. However, between Firestar's Quest and Midnight, before the Forest starts getting ripped up, Dragonflynose slips off to the Moonstone and transitions, becoming Dragonflywing! She looks a lot like her mom.
Duckkit - Now a dark tortoiseshell molly with a small tail, Duckkit does still pass, but Greenflower is seen getting reassurance from Mudfur that he saw her in Starclan, running around with a moss ball.
Featherkit - Now Dappletail and Stormpelt's son. His death is now retconned. He was deaf, yes, but he wasn't a strong kit to begin with. He passed from fading kitten syndrome, but had a nice life before that, and was starting to get interested in herbs.
Cricketkit - A blue-gray tom like Bluestar, but with yellow eyes. He was apprenticed to Russetmoth, Willowpelt's father, and named Cricketfang. He is mates with Longtail's sister, Heatherwish, and now the father of Cinderpelt and Brackenfur.
Sol's siblings are brought up but they're for another post, as are Cloudtail's and Firestar's.
Quietkit - Now a dark brown tabby molly with brilliant blue eyes. She has made it through her sickness! Her mother has been renamed from Ashheart to Gravelheart. She is currently apprenticed to Russetfur. I have bumped her up to have been born a few moons before ITW, but she should NOT be an apprentice right now, this is much too early. Thankfully, Russetfur is good to her. Her warrior name will be Quietfeather.
Her siblings are under the cut!
Turtlekit - Now a dilute tortoiseshell molly with one green eye and one yellow eye, Turtlekit is Gravelheart's second born child, and is currently apprenticed to Blackfoot. She is also too young for this. Her warrior name will be Turtlesong.
Rubblekit - Another rare prefix, a lot of these kits gave prefixes never seen before. Now he is a small gray tabby tom with (as a reference to his wiki sprite) bright green eyes! He is illegally apprenticed to Nettlespot, who thankfully acts tough but is very gentle with him. His warrior name will be Rubblefang.
Cherrypaw - Originally Robinwing and Fuzzypelt from long ago, appearing in Spottedleaf's Honest Answer. Well Robinfuzzy is getting destroyed and SHA no longer exists, so Cherrypaw is getting moved away from that and is now bulky ginger and white molly with amber eyes, and a child of Grayflower (OC) with her littermates Dustpelt and Ravenpaw. She was made a warrior early due to fighting off a boar! Her mentor was Frostfur and her name is Cherryshine.
Chestnutkit - He was bumped down to be Frostfur's littermate as Brindleface is no longer her sister, he was mentored by Snowfur, and he is also now a skinny pale brown tabby tom with a white chest and blue eyes named Chestnutwing. He will mentor Elderpaw after Russetmoth dies.
Lavenderkit - Now a rose-cream mollynwith deep blue eyes, Lavenderkit survives her illness and is apprenticed to Volewhisper. She becomes Lavenderpool, and is mates with Blossomclaw.
Smokepaw - Nightwing's boy, the apprentice that falls. He is a HUGE part of The New Prophecy! A main character now! He will still fall, but find his way home, and he is featured in WCR!Graystripe's Adventure, found by Graystripe and Cody. His name will be Smokeheart.
Talonpaw - Now pale gray with large white feet, the attack from the kittypets nearly killed him, and he collapsed unconscious when he dragged himself back to camp. He would lay in effectively a comatose state, being given a Dying Warrior Ceremony from Blackstar. He woke up during the end of Sunset, and was shocked to hear cheers of his new name: Talonshine.
Nightwhisper - Nightwhisper would not become Darkflower's mate, but instead brought his young daughter to be nursed by Queens who could help. Kinkfur was that kit. She is, for all intents and purposes, half Bloodclan.
Pouncetail - To avoid same names, this man had been not only hit with the Gender Beam, but also a cool new name. Meet Muntjactail! Now has an itty-bitty tail, a lighter chest and belly. She is mates with Stoatrunner (1 half of Stoatfur, who is now split into 2 cats) and is the mother of Beenose!
Since Wolfstep is dead, the lean tabby tom and tortoiseshell queen with 2 kits are now Rubblefang, and his sister Turtlesong. He is giving her loving support. Wetfoot has just died, he was the father of her kits. Ivykit (Ivytail) and Whitekit (Whitewater).
Crowfrost - Dawncloud now gets together with Picklewish (OC, kinda. One of the names from the Fan Vote that Wafflepaw won. He joins Shadowclan during the Journey) and has Crowfrost. He will also be surviving AVOS! She also has them a little bit later than canon.
Spiderfoot - Crowfrost's brother, a cowardly little guy who leaves to become a kittypet. His kittypet name is Socko, and he is loved.
Swallowtail - Now a skinny gray-cream molly with darker legs and amber eyes. Born to Vixenleap and a posthumous Swancall a few weeks after the Battle for Bloodclan, Swallowtail may look like a Windclan cat, but she is a shining star in Riverclan. She even earned her name early and was trusted with an apprentice before anyone else! She has secret kits with Rainwhisker!
Wait, what?
Pebblefoot - Now a mottled pale brown tom with bright green eyes and small paws, Pebblefoot is an alright enough guy. He had a bit of a celebrity crush on Ashfoot when he was young. His mentor is no longer Mosspelt, but now Heavystep, who is no longer an early elder. He gives the next Riverclan Leader a life after his death during The Hopeless Storm.
Minnowtail - Oh, I have BIG plans for this girl, should all go well with ASC. That's far away for now, but just know that us Mouse x Minnow fans are EATING.
Tumblekit - Now a chubby little boy. I am deeply sorry for anyone who likes this little guy and wanted him to live. He was never meant to survive. I tried to think of how I could spin him, but his death is a Canon Event for Minnowtail.
Mallowtail and Grasswhisker - Grasswhisker is now a trans tom who might later realize they're actually a tolly! That isn't set in stone, but what is is this relationship! But, since he and Mallowtail cannot have kits of biologically, they get help from a sire. Who, you ask? Well that's private! (a loner) after Mallowtail gives birth, they are shocked to see that one of their kits, Beechkit, looks VERY much like Grasswhisker! The other is Rippletail. Mates of Gorsetail and Petalfur.

ShadowClan has three random kittens that are literally just an invention of Su Susann that the family tree canonized. Quietkit, Rubblekit, and Turetlekit as the children of Ashheart and Cinderfur. I know you already included them to your old family tree as dead kits, but I've always liked their names too much to just let them be family tree randos. They offer some nice presence for tpb/to as they're probably around the Frostfour's age
These ones won't even be Glitch Warriors, I consider them "Kit Saves" in the sense that they do appear in the book but died young! Though they did get names from Su Susann, they are textually referenced in the opening of TPB: Rising Storm.
An owl swoops and attacks Nightstar's den, and we get this;
The "silver queen" here is said to be Ashheart. There's no one else it could be, anyway-- ShadowClan only has one silver molly during TPB, unless Yellowfang's mentor Deerleap is out here refusing to die, or one of the silver toms is doing a Rowanclaw. The father is said to be Cinderfur, but it could really be anyone.
(there's also this bizarre thing where there's like, 2 or 3 unnamed silver tabby warriors who keep appearing in background scenes. Are Wolfstep, Flintfang, and Boulder just painting stripes on themselves sometimes? Is Archeye forgetting he's an elder?)
So, their lives were short, but these three kits were absolutely canon. Since future material would definitely pull their names from the website, I'm comfortable saying Quiet, Turtle, and Rubble are as good as real.
I also happen to quite like their names, ngl, I've got a few fun little plans for them in BB;
Their warrior names are Rubbleflower, Turtlebelly, and Quietnose.
Blackstar's "naming tendency" is that he likes to give somewhat rude names. It's a very ShadowClan sort of thing to do.
Rubbleflower means "Flower struggling to grow out of a mess," Turtlebelly means "Always hungry," and Quietnose means "don't sneeze."
In terms of BB familial changes, I want to make Cinderfur NOT be Stumpytail's brother, and instead make him Ashheart's littermate.
My thought is that they were born to Cinderfur under Queen's Rights, but when he died in Runningnose's Plague, Ashheart adopted them and Stumptail stepped in to help.
(Stumptail was also targeted by Runningnose's plan, as one of Deerfoot's Rebels. He got sick but survived, eventually helping HalfClan cats escape TigerClan.)
I haven't entirely figured out Rubble's and Quiet's personalities yet, but Turtlebelly is going to become the Head of Kitchen Patrol shortly into Po3.
She's getting a secondary apprenticeship under Hammerclaw (im making her real), or Hammer's kid Wishbone, depending on how the timeline shakes out.
I'm not sure how long her tenure is going to last, though. She's going to get through Blackstar's lapse in faith, the Battle of the Truth Eclipse, and possibly Yellowcough, but Darktail and The Kin might do her in. They'll be doing a general purge of high-ranking ShadowClan cats, such as the old Educator, Smokefall.
But she CAN cook, so they might end up keeping her around.
In any case, Turtlebelly is going to be replaced as Kitchen Head by BB!ASC. Either violently, or by retiring.
Rubble and Quiet will probably be the ones to have kittens, in her family. She doesn't dislike kids or anything, she's just not enthusiastic about them. Prefers to be the cool aunt.
Speaking of-- Rubbleflower is the only boy. Quiet and Turtle are mollies.
Open to input on Quiet and Rubble in particular. I like how Rubblekit's wiki sprite is weirdly green, I'm trying to find some kind of fun way to work that into his personality somehow. Maybe he's one of the big brains behind Blackstar's Bog Project.
Look at this green ass cat
#BB!Quietkit#BB!Rubblekit#BB!Turtlekit#Rubbleflower#Turtlebelly#Quietnose#I had an older name for Quiet but I thought of this one and it's infinitely more fitting for what kinda namer BB!Blackstar is lmaoo#Better Bones AU

//an: this is the third part of this. if u could link the second part of that it would be greaaatt thank u very much
//tw; implied past abuse, death
--
Applebranch has her second litter the next moon.
"I want to name this one Crowkit," she says, pointing to a tortoiseshell she-cat. Then, she points to a tiny brown swirled molly with her tail. "And this is Molekit."
All that's left is a black and white tom. She stares fondly at him.
"I'm not sure what to name him," Applebranch says. "He's quiet, I'll give you that."
"Quietkit?" Silverbelly prompts.
"It doesn't feel right," Applebranch muses. "Thoughts on Coalkit?"
"No," Silverbelly says. "That one doesn't feel right either."
She takes note of how Crowkit and Molekit both seem to nestle into the little tom.
"Blackkit?"
"No," Applebranch says. "Too basic."
Then, the little kit sneezes. Silverbelly stares at the pine needle that just landed on him.
"Pinekit?"
"Pinekit."
--
Hailpaw flexes her leg. "It feels good."
"Alright, then you're free," Silverbelly says. "Don't strain it too much. Tell Otterslip to only do lighter exercises for a half moon, so you can get back into the swing of things."
Hailpaw grins at her. "Yeah! Okay! Bye Silverbelly, bye Lichenstripe, bye Stormsight. Thank you!"
Hailpaw was unique. She had this thing where instead of saying "thanks, you guys" she thanked every cat individually. She had boundless energy, yet stayed completely still while she was recovering. Sleeping, silently watching her littermates.
"Lichenstripe," she softly calls. The tom perks his head up. "When you catch Otterslip, tell him to keep an extra eye out for Hailpaw."
"Will do," Lichenstripe says.
Silverbelly turns back to her herbs, prepared to begin stocking them, when she hears rustling behind her. One sniff tells her all she needs to know.
"Oaktuft," she dully asks. "What do you need today?"
(She held a specific brand of sarcasm just for Oak "I once stubbed my paw on a rock and screamed loud enough to wake the dead" tuft. He knows she doesn't mean it.)
"I think Moxie is expecting kits," he hastily says.
Lichenstripe perks up. "Send her my way later."
"I was hoping... you could... ask?"
Silverbelly, as maturely as possible, groans. "What did you do?"
"I just, don't think she knows yet?" Oaktuft says. It comes out like a question.
"You mean to tell me," Silverbelly inhales. "That you picked up a queen was expecting before she did?"
"Yes?"
"You know how stupid you sound right now?" Silverbelly gawks. "Like, you're usually stupid-"
"Hey!"
"- but this is breaching new levels of idiocy. Lichenstripe, tell him how ridiculous he sounds."
Lichenstripe stays perfectly still. "I'll check on her later. I'll just say there's a stomach bug I need to check for or something."
Oaktuft grins. "Thanks Lichenstripe, you're the best!" And then he runs back off.
"Why do you oblige him?" Silverbelly sighs.
"He's funny," Lichenstripe hums. "Sometimes."
--
Moxie, as it turns out, is expecting. Oaktuft can be strangely perceptive when he's actually paying attention to things.
Silverbelly sighs, and drops a pebble in Lichenstripe's "made an inacurrate assumption about something and was wrong" hole.
--
Stormsight and her are out gathering herbs when he perks up, pile of poppy forgotten.
Then, he's walking through the bush.
"Stormsight!" She shouts, her own little pile of oak leaves left to the wind.
She follows his tail, and that's when she picks up on it. A tiny, barely audible mewing, followed by frantic shushing.
And he stops at a bush.
A cat with a bright ginger back and jagged stripes looks up at them, and hisses. "Get the hell away from me!"
"Are you alright?" Silverbelly asks.
She picks up one of her kits, and hisses again. "Back off!"
"My name is Stormsight," Stormsight smoothly says. "This is Silverbelly. We're medicine cats. We don't hurt cats, we heal them."
"That's what the last one said," the queen snarls. "And then I was attacked."
Silverbelly takes notice of the small nick on her ear, and the little scratch bleeding from her stomach. She sees a little nest of dead leaves and moss.
"What's your name?" Silverbelly gently asks.
"I'm," she pauses. "I'm Jagged."
"Do you need somewhere to stay, Jagged?" She instinctively asks. "We have a home. We can help you, and treat your wounds."
"I don't need help," she spits. As if on cue, one of her kits wails, and tries to paw at her belly. "I don't."
It takes a very long time, but eventually Silverbelly and Stormsight manage to convince her to come to camp, where she sleeps in the nursery with her kits, and continues to hiss at anyone who gets too close. But she talks to Holly, and Applebranch, even if it's just curt responses, so it's an improvement.
--
Moxie gives birth to one kit. Newtkit. A scrappy little thing that seems to hate everything except her mother and Bluekit.
And Jaggedstripe has gotten better. She has real conversations with Applebranch, and Moxie, and she lets Silverbelly check her over with minimal fuss.
And Hailcrash has truly grown into herself. She's a spectacular fighter, clever and intelligent. Otterslip always says her name with the utmost pride.
Henryclaw is a new addition to the clan, someone that Jaggedstripe used to know. They say tense hello's and nobody pries farther.
--
Two things happen in the following moons.
One, Lakelily has been more tense during their half moon meetings. Hesitant to say anything about his clan or how his cats are doing. He won't meet her at the border for herb trades. She has a horrible feeling Floodstar is behind it.
Two, Neo dies in his sleep. He was old, it was bound to happen.
Three, Goldenstar loses his first life defending his son from a dog. He spends one day in her den recovering, then leaves.
"Come back if it starts hurting again," she calls.
Goldenstar flicks his tail, but she knows he won't be visiting anytime soon. She watches Celia run to greet him, and realizes that he might have someone to keep him in check after all.
--
"You're old," Newkit says.
Moxie stares at Silverbelly. "Am I?"
Silverbelly winces, and decides the floor is the most interesting thing in the world. Moxie looks at Oaktuft, who looks like he was just viciously insulted.
"Are we old, Newtkit?" Oaktuft whispers, a single tear leaking from his eye.
"Yeah," Newtkit loudly says. "You should retire so you stop complaining about your bones hurting after patrols."
Oaktuft frowns. "Oh."
"I suppose we are old," Moxie muses. "Thoughts on retiring?"
"I guess we can retire," Oaktuft says.
And that is the story of how Moxie and Oaktuft retire. Because their four moon kitten calls them old.
--
Jaggedstripe leaves the nursery.
Her kits are six moons old, so she's technically supposed to leave. Technically, they've been complaining they don't need her since they were four moons, but she stays regardless.
"I don't think I want to move," Jaggedstripe says.
"You could stay in the nursery," Stormsight says. "Nothing wrong with that."
"Newtkit will be an apprentice in hardly a moon," Jaggedstripe says. "There's no point in staying in the nursery if there are no kits to look after."
Silverbelly hums. "It's up to you."
And later that day, she sees Jaggedstripe carrying a small bundle of moss into the warrior's den and smiles.
--
"Inhale," she says.
Sillymoon takes one deep breath.
"Exhale." She hums as she listens, then steps away. "Everything sounds fine. Don't push too hard, Toro will show you the ropes."
"Thank you for your help," Sillymoon says. "I appreciate it."
"You're welcome," she says. "Stay safe."
Then, Jaggedstripe walks into the den, and drops Newtpaw at her feet. "She fell from a tree. She seems fine, but I just..."
Silverbelly nods, and noses through her fur. "Anything hurt?"
"No!" Newtpaw exclaims. "Everything's fine. I'm just sore."
There's one bruise blooming on Newtpaw's shoulder, but otherwise she looks fine.
"See?" Newtpaw turns to Jaggedstripe. "I told you I landed on the moss."
Jaggedstripe concedes, and nods.
--
"You," Silverbelly breathes. "You what?"
"I think I accidentally flirted with Wormshade?" Flyspots meekly says.
"Aw, he's all grown up," Applebranch teases.
"Momma!" He squeaks.
"My little baby is finally feeling things," Applebranch purrs. Flyspots ducks under her muzzle.
"You know what, forget I said anything," he declares. "Never talking to you about romance again. Maplethorn!"
"Why is he talking to Maple?" Applebranch gawks. "He's horrible at romance. He has never once felt anything for anyone."
"Maybe he's looking for a more realistic opinion?" Silverbelly blinks.
She's promptly interrupted by Wormshade bowling into her. "Hey, if I hypothetically wanted to be Flyspot's mate, would you kill me?"
Applebranch hums. "Depends on how fast you can run."
"Oh," he says, then slowly backs up. "Yeah, I'm gonna. Yeah."
"Stop scaring his future mate off," Silverbelly says. "They're cute."
--
Landslides are one of the common dangers of mountain life. They've happened before, it's easy to avoid them if you're in shape and out of the way and it's easy to hear them coming.
She digs frantically, paws churning at the mud. He needed to be here. She can't explain this to Lakelily.
A warm pelt brushes her, with the underlying coolness that says it belongs to the stars, and she stops.
One yellow limb pokes out of the mud, unmoving.
"Oh," Holly whispers. "I'm so sorry."
Silverbelly tucks her head into her paws and cries.
--
"I'm sorry," she blurts.
Lakelily stares at her. His eyes are dull, and his tail lays flat along his paws. "For?"
"Lichenstripe died," she hollowly says. "He got caught in a landslide. I'm so sorry."
Lakelily pauses, then stares up at the moon. "That's not your fault."
She watched the newly named Eveningstar climb the rock, and the conversation abruptly ends.
--
Pinefrost and Molesong become warriors.
Crowpaw stares at them from next to Mudsplash, who murmurs something to her. Crowpaw doesn't acknowledge the words.
Silverbelly continues to cheer for her kits, and makes a mental note to check on Crowpaw later.
--
"It looks pretty badass," Bluefern says.
"It does," Newtpaw agrees. "I look cool as fuck."
Silverbelly sighs.
--
"Check back with me later," she yells.
Goldenstar does not check back with her later. When she finds him, sleeping in his nest, she asks Celia to send him her way when he wakes up.
Predictably, he does not stop by. Celia says sorry, and she says it's okay, but she wishes her leader would take care of himself for once in his life.
--
"The verdict?" Evie asks.
He's a brand new, so dark brown he looks black in most lights, recruit to the clan. Also, he's sick, and hacks his lungs out every four minutes. When he is not doing that, he is winking at Bluefern when she passes by.
"Greencough," she says, then passes a leaf to Evie. "If you're going to cough out phlegm-"
"What's that?"
"-please cough it out on this so I can properly get rid of it."
"Okay," Evie says.
--
"Maybe I'll retire soon," Curly says. She flexes her tail, now scarred in a ring like way.
She hums. "If you'd like."
And she promptly ignores how shamelessly Evie is flirting with Bluefern and Newtscar, who are also flirting with eachother. She can't tell if it's a joke.
--
"Crowflame, did you know male torties are like, super rare?" Blizzardfang says.
Crowflame hums. Silverbelly feels the fur on her spine stand. Applebranch laughs.
--
One moon later, Evie has recovered.
"I wonder what Bluefern thinks about mates," he mumbles. Silverbelly can feel her jaw drop. Next to her, Jaggedstripe gawks.
--
"Silverbelly?" Goldenstar asks.
"Look who finally pays me a visit," she says. "What do you need?"
"Would it be betraying Morningbloom if I loved someone else?"
"Why do you ask?" She carefully studies his conflicted expression. "Oh my stars, it's Celia. You like Celia. Why?"
"He has a charming smile," Goldenstar mumbles. Silverbelly groans.
"But to answer your question," Silverbelly says. "I think Morningbloom would want you to be happy. If Celia makes you happy, she would want that for you."
--
"I know," Applebranch whispers, in a soothing voice. "I know, Silvie."
"I keep having the same damn dream," she whispers. "Since I was an apprentice."
She chokes out a sob, and Applebranch murmurs hollow words of comfort.
--
"What do you mean you thought we were already mates?"
Flyspots tilts over, a dumbstruck expression on his face. Wormshade looks enraged, but the way the fur on his face fluffs up says everything she needs to know.
Applebranch catches his eye, and Wormshade wilts.
--
She wakes up with fluffed fur and unsheathed claws, panting hard.
She stares at Stormsight, and it's like the vision has come crashing down at her. Those fucking rocks, tumbling down a cliff, a trail of blood pooling behind them.
Otterslip is on guard. "Where are you headed to?"
"The glow cave," she says. "I need to speak with Starclan."
Otterslip blinks at her, confusion filling his gaze. "Do you want an escort?"
"No," she breathes. "Not really."
He nods. "Okay. I'll tell everyone where you went."
And Silverbelly allows her paws to guide her east of the mountains, where the clouds block the moon and a faint drizzle accompanies the chilly air.
--
She passes a Cricketclan patrol, who nod at her, and she continues walking, and numbly stops at the glowcave.
"What does it mean?" She whispers, to nobody in particular. "What does it mean?"
She glares at the pool, snarling. "Oh, so now you don't want to talk to me. I haven't gotten a proper rest since before my first litter, and now you want to be quiet?"
She feels her hackles stand. "Fucking talk to me!"
A whisper climbs behind her, and she whips around to face it.
"Yeah, you think this shit is funny? I'm being haunted by three rocks and it's a silly game for you. Of course it is."
The spirit settles next to her, and opens its mouth. Then, it closes again, and materializes a stick in it's jaws.
She stares as it draws a shaky line in the wet clay. She watches a shaky v shape take form, and the spirit points behind her.
"What are you trying to tell me?" She pleads. "Show me what you want me too see."
The spirit raises one paw, ever so slightly lifts it, and points behind her, to the starry pool.
Silverbelly rolls her eyes and looks behind her. And she stops, hissing and snarling as she wheels backwards.
Three rocks. Dark brown with a darker line, a dull brown pebble with two curved lines, and a more ginger one with white spots.
"Tradition," the spirit whispers. "Like an heirloom, of sorts." And then she hears it fade away behind her, leaving Silverbelly alone in a cave with three rocks that mean something, but she doesn't know what.
-🍭
