#I'm so sorry Breezepelt you deserve better

[frostfour]

I've hit a mental block with going over TPB era so instead I've been considering what would happen after the reveal of Dovewing, Ivypool, Hollyleaf, Jayfeather and Lionblaze all being patricians born out of wedlock.

An interesting factor is Breezepelt, previously I was going to have him be Nightcloud's and part of the apprentice gang when Ivy moves to Windclan alongside Kestral, Ant, Heather and Hare. Not a major character in any regard.

What if instead Breeze was a legitimate WhiteCrow kit?

They decide to have a litter to smooth over tensions and out of grief over the loss they've experienced (being forced to break off their relationships and losing the trust of their kids). Breeze was meant to help them save face but they still don't love each other in any romantic capacity, if anything it worsened their platonic relationship. Crow shuts down emotionally, similarly to canon he is distant to Breeze and acts out of line. White is happy to be a mother again and is protective, she can't afford to lose anymore of her kids.

Then poor Breeze is caught in the middle of it all for having the audacity to be born. He understands more and more why they had him the older he gets when its clear that they weren't ready. The legitimate heir of Thunderclan, son of married skilled augurs, having all expectations placed on him after all the scandal. He was meant to be the golden child. Dovewing and Ivypool are envious, they wanted to believe their parents were WhiteCrow all along and he gets to have that. Holly, Jay and Lion are even more hostile - since the reveal they have been begrudgingly included with patricians only when absolutely necessary but are never really treated like they belong. After all being considered regular warriors before means they faced the brunt of the judgement, to them Breeze doesn't have it nearly as bad as they did. Ashfoot doesn't know what to think of him, though she is kind how can she be sure that hes really her Grandson?

So Breeze resents everything he's meant to be, angry at his parents, Thunderclan, the entire system while being at the heart of nobility.

is crowfeather still bad to breeezepelt?

He is. In a different way.

To be quite honest, even with the changes I've made to him, he would still be a shitty parent to the 3 if he had joined Thunderclan during TNP, PO3, or OOTS.

He doesn't hit Breezepelt now, because that would be too obvious and Squilf would literally kill him...

Instead it's more... Emotional. Verbal. He refuses to show interest in anything his son does, and it all comes down to one statement I heard that resonated with me quite a bit.

"When you become a parent, you go from center stage, to stage crew."

Crowfeather was not ready to accept that he was never going to be center stage again. Nightcloud was MORE than happy with it, girl is at her soundboard and she is vibing.

Crowfeather also... REALLY struggled with a lot of his classes, and so, when Breezepaw turns out to be a prodigy, he gets jealous.

He makes snarky remarks, and ignores his son, who desperately wants to make his father happy.

When Breezepelt finds out about the 3, he "puts it together" that it's them standing in the way of love, it's them that make his father moody and distant, it's THEM that make him gaze at the Thunderclan border like it's a missing limb it's THEM who make him fight with Nightcloud it's THEM it's THEM IT'S THEM-

Sure... He helps find Hollyleaf, because deep down... He feels a connection to them. But he makes it clear, it's the last thing he'll ever do for his siblings. From now on, it's war. They did a kind thing for him, he returned it, now it's on sight.

Crowfeather fights with Nightcloud all the time, and it's damaging to Breezekit and Breezepaw and Breezepelt.

Tigerstar, snake that he is, slinks down one night to Breezepelt, appearing in a dark field, where Breezey-P is drawing in the dirt. A dream, of course. He asks Breeze what's wrong, that he looks so sad, so angry... Ah, his father betrayed him too. Having a mate in another Clan? That's just as bad as becoming a kittypet! No wonder Breezepelt is so upset! A smart young tom like him shouldn't be doing something useless like drawing!

You should be taking action... Start with the blind one. An old friend of mine will teach you how to fight a blind cat best...

Silverhawk takes Breezepelt under his wing, and things begin to spiral.

In the end, after all is said and done, Crowfeather tells Breezepelt something he never expected to hear.

"I'm so glad you're more like your mother. You deserved better than a poor excuse of a father like me."

Breezey's suspicious, is he trying some kind if angle? Pity? What is he-

"I'm sorry. For everything. I hurt you, and I can't take it back, and... I failed you, and Nightcloud. I'm sorry."

"Okay."

"Okay."

"I don't forgive you."

"You don't have to."

"You're leaving, aren't you?"

"..."

"You-"

"Be good for Pickle, show him your best hunting spots. Teach him everything you've got in that head of yours. Starclan knows he needs it."

"Thank you, Crowfeather. I will."

"And by the way, Heathertail likes stews best."

"Hey! You-!"

"Goodbye, Breezepelt, and good luck with your new position. May Starclan light your path, always."

Crowfeather knows that their relationship is beyond repair, and that Pickle is a better father to Breezepelt in 4 DAYS than he has been all of Breezey-P's life. The best thing he can do is stop causing damage and do the thing he has wanted to do since leaving The Forest; leave for Thunderclan.

He's got a LOT of apologizing and making up to do. Leafpool tells him that he needs to warn the right to call himself her mate, and the father of her kits. And by god, does he work.

Breezepelt is very happy with his step-dad, who cherishes him, makes him feel wanted and important, and never puts down a thing Breezepelt loves.

hey, welcome to my blog :) i'm frosted. i'm in my early 20s and i'm very very queer (transfemmasc lesbian) (here's my pronounspage). i mostly yell about warrior cats here- especially all the girlies who got done dirty by the narrative or fandom. but this blog isn't strictly warrior cats, it's just a chill space for me bc my main blog became too stressful 😭😭

speaking of that i am SUUUUPER critical of how the erins handle their female characters bc YIKES. as well as the wild xenophobia, abuse apologism, ableism, and racism that's going on there.

i'll sometimes post or reblog nsfw, which will be tagged with #nsft. please block this tag if you're uncomfortable with nsfw, i'm not tolerating people whining in my inbox bc they couldn't curate their own space

if you're a terf, conservative, or someone who spends hours debating the "validity" of queer identities then i do not like you and you will not like me. you'll be blocked on sight.

faves (can u tell i like wc women): needletail, violetshine, dovewing, squirrelstar, hollyleaf, ivypool, crookedstar, frostpaw, leafpool, ferncloud, brightheart, yellowfang, curlfeather, sparkpelt, bumble (i'm so sorry girlie you deserved better), hawkwing, nightcloud, breezepelt, longtail, sorreltail, russetfur, bluestar, feathertail, shadowstar, ravenpaw, shadowsight, daisy, lionheart, sunbeam, windstar
