#the other storyline of nightbeam kit being trying to fit in and standing for the old rules actually

[rainsnap]

What I badly want for the next arc is this setup:

This arc ending with:

Frostpaw becomes Froststar, leader of Riverclan

Leaving the clan without a medicine cat that can communicate with Starclan, adding more stress to Froststar.

Sunbeam and Nightheart expecting kits.

So then the POV characters for the next arc are:

Whistlepaw from Windclan

Graypaw from Riverclan (Frostpaw’s brother)

Unnamed Nightbeam kit from Thunderclan

The story would begin as such:

Graypaw and Whistlepaw grow closer together for Not So Forbidden Romance. Whistlepaw, still forbidden because medicine cat. The two want to be together but can’t because med cat relationships still illegal.

Meanwhile unnamed kit has visions of becoming the new Riverclan medicine cat apprentice

Graypaw and Whistlepaw are found out by Froststar, who starts pressuring the clans into changing the medicine cat no romance rule. But no one really wants to listen to her.

Then Harestar dies and Crowfeather becomes Crowstar and that guy immediately allows Whistlepaw and Graypaw to be together and refuses to listen to the other clans, stating that if such a time like this existed for him and Leafpool then there would have been less heartbreak and deaths (Leafpool/Hollyleaf)

SO THEN the story would have an amazing parallel to Moth Flight as a Windclan med cat making the rule and then Whistlepaw being a Windclan med cat breaking it!
