#reason for it is Tiger'star my fanon isn't like canon so no half-clan hatred thing so Stone'fur wouldn't have a target on his back

[violentshine]

new thing for the scattered sparks au

when tigerclan (shadow & river) starts forming & Tigerstar starts integrating Shadowclan cats into Riverclan's camp, he starts putting cats in what he's called "confinement" which is just his way of saying imprisonment without saying imprisonment

One of the cats that he puts into confinement is Shellshine (Luna) because she doesn't "treat him with respect" & refuses to acknowledge his leadership of Tigerclan, so he puts her in a separate den. Leopardstar only learns of this after it's happened. Which she of course has an issue with since that's her daughter-not daughter and Tigerstar tells her she would be too soft on Shellshine anyway since they're close and it's important that he's respected ("as much as she is")

A handful of other cats get put into confinement as well, one of those cats being Fangflare (not only does Shellshine have to share a clan with her "head empty only battle" annoying brother but a jail cell too? ugh). Fangflare has no idea why Tigerstar put him in there since he's been nothing but loyal to him (even helped him gain his position...smh). Tigerstar says his reason is due to Fangflare (& Shellshine) having kin in other clans that may put his plan at risk because they may say something and he doesn't want that. It's not a very. Good reason. Probably due to it not being totally the case and Tigerstar may have put confined Fangflare there because 1) He's kin to Fireheart specifically and it's very clear the two don't get along 2)Fangflare is another big personality in the clan and might jeopardize the plan since he can be overly hostile and always looking for fights 3) Tigerstar thinks he's annoying

Fangflare is desperate to prove his loyalty to Tigerstar and when a certain group starts forming to achieve a certain goal...Fangflare finds it to be the best opportunity.

Stonefur is very much against this whole "Tigerclan" thing and knows others agree with him. He starts first with the cats in confinement, brainstorming ways they can get rid of Tigerclan and Tigerstar.

Even though Stonefur has avoided him for this reason, Fangflare caught wind of their conversations and told Tigerstar. Except Fangflare heard a different cat talking about it and told Tigerstar that cat was in charge of the rebellion. So when Tigerstar called a meeting and accused said cat for "wanting war instead of peace" Stonefur cleared their name and came clean about it.

Tigerstar is obviously furious and calls for some cat to kill him; claiming that the clan needs to be taught a lesson. He's "forming all the clans as one as to get rid of the bloodshed and battle, but if cats are so against living peacefully with one another and would prefer a life of violence, they can have it"

Stonefur is killed, Fangflare really wanted to do it, idk if he takes Darkstripe's place in failing to kill Stonefur* or if he was ordered to sit down.

*him failing actually makes sense since he's been in confinement and would have a restricted amount of prey & exercise. Stonefur also wouldn't want to kill him (or yk die, so he's playing a mean defense) but i feel like if i do this it would give later, matured, Fangflare a lot more trauma then what i have in mind which is a lot already...thinking
