#out abt having witnessed the leader killing his own kits

[arolesbianism]

Thinks oh so hard abt the spiraling upwards clan founders, especially the birchclan founders. Silly lil kitties who's pasts are drenched in blood with the primary regret of not drawing it sooner

#rat rambles #oc posting #warriors posting #spiraling upwards #long story short they had a shitty awful terrible leader who sucked absolutely ass and they tore him to shreds #I mean that literally they pinned him onto the mountain side and slashed and mauled the shit out of him so hard that his lives evaporated #and several of the cats involved in that scene are sill alive and major parts of the story and I love them #oh also the cat that pinned him through a stab through the throat was his own daughter btw everyone hated his ass so much #and for good reason get his ass #alas in the main story I dont rly get to go too deep into how he harmed everyone involved mostly just three main ones #aka bristlestar because shes murtlepaw's ghost mom dawncrackle because hes also haunting murtle and gullspot because shes bristle's kit #so basically all the flashbacks we get involve those three in some form or another #honeystar was also there and involved but Im not currently planning on having her rly talk abt that #most of her more modern angst is the fact that she was forced into leadership against her will #and shes been alive long enough that shes been leading birchclan far longer than she ever lived in her old clan #but she did go through a lot of shit before birchclan was founded and it definitely shaped her a lot #she used to be a very determined and high spirited lil kitty cat who tried to be optimistic #but her family began to slowly be picked off one by one by both the old leader and the one whod later get evicerated #some of the older cats around her hoped it make her back down from her revelutionary ideas but she noticed that and it backfired on them #instead of being worn down to submission she became absolutely Furious and began to lash out more and become more demanding #it got to the point that she really only had two friends in the entire clan and one of them was her aunt whod later also die after coming #out abt having witnessed the leader killing his own kits #that was the final fucking straw for her and she was fully on board when bristle and dawn started looking for cats to join their rebellion #she did get rly frustrated with them as they waited patiently for the right moment but her remaining bestie kept her from going apeshit #so once the big fight finally broke out she was more than eager to join the hoard of cats chasing the bastard upwards #now unlike some of the other cats involved this legitimately actually made her feel a lot better for a while #for the first time in ages she finally felt like she could be optimistic abt smth again and was excited abt the idea of leaving this place #she had lost so much in this damn place since she was an apprentice and just wanted to finally be able to rest easy #but once they got to their new territory and set up camp things went south real fast as a flood fucked everything up #and after losing the only cat she had left in her life and losing her tail and being made deputy on top of that she deteriorated quickly

Details for the hollyleaf au

·         Holly + jay are a part of the prophecy, lion is not

·         Holly has the power to have like glimpses of the future and shit, occasionally the past (these are either small glimpses or in the forms of symbolism/metaphors)

·         Holly and jay become warrior apprentices – holly is bracken’s apprentice, jay is bright’s apprentice. Lion is apprenticed to leafpool and trains as a medicine cat

·         Time begins to pass. Holly starts having weird dreams and nightmares over events that haven’t happened yet (and then she starts noticing the events in her dreams happen) and she panics and talks to jay abt it. Jay reveals 2 her his own abilities (walking in dreams/mind communication) and they don’t know what to do abt it

·         They ask lion if hes had anything and hes rlly baffled bc theyre not med. Cat apprentices why r they getting these kind of dreams.

·         Eventually lion gets the message from yellow that theyre the three (by they she means holly/jay, but lion misinterprets it to also include him)

·         He brings it to holly+jay, theyre startled but eventually accept their fate

·         There’s stuff in the middle that I haven’t really had the time to plot out ah!! Mostly sibling bonding + friendship bonds (hazel,holly,honey,cinder are tight af, so is mouse,jay,kestrel, and cinder,lion,berry)

·         Holly ends up finding out cinder her bff is dating heater from windclan and is paranoid and jumpy bc she starts wondering if that means cinder will get in trouble and what would happen 2 cinder

·         Its resolved in the end idk how yet

·         Anyways as they grow older they all get their warrior names, blah blah, there’s the fire scene and the big reveal

·         Ash ends up going 2 the med cat den the next night due 2 a bad cough developing from smoke inhalation, winds up dead the next morning, everyone assumes it was just breathing problems/failure

·         Holly/jay start noticing lion is acting weird, uncomfy, jumpy, and how he starts refusing/making excuses to not go to the moonpool – they come to the conclusion he feels bad abt ashfurs death bc that’s one of the first patients he ever lost

·         The three go into digging abt their parentage – holly receives a vision of a crow landing in the forest during leaf-fall, before taking off again

·         After more sleuthing they all figure out crow and leaf are their parents. Holly is devastated, jay is bothered, and lion is also crushed,

·         Lion has a lot of stress on him rn and the clan is starting to notice fishy things or something abt ashfurs death so eventually lion confesses to holly/jay that he murdered ash by feeding him poisonous herbs. He’s guilty and devastated by his own actions going against the medicine code (NOT abt ashfur tho he doesn’t care at all abt ashfur he just feels like starclan is judging him and the clan will too if they find out) so he runs off before anyone else can find out

·         Holly/jay are devastated but are still handling how to deal with the issue of their parentage

·         Crow, in a petty attempt to ruin leafpools career as a medicine cat, tells everyone that she had an affair and produced kittens – he’s smug bc he knows that in the flawed system even if everyone finds out/is aware crow is the father, none will really do anything because all blame will fall to leafpool

·         Which it unfortunately does which is shitty and sucky but :( leaf can’t really step down though because her apprentice disappeared. Now she just faces constant shame and humiliation (holly notices that leaf is treated much worse than crow and starts getting REALLY pissed bc no one seems to care that crow just took advantage of leafs willing trust/love for him and abandoned her when she was pregnant so most of hollys hate-energy starts getting directed towards crowfeather/windclan)

·         Eventually dove and ivy r born. Dove is apprenticed to cinder while holly trains ivy

·         Lion eventually does return, after living life as a rogue

·         There’s a lot more stuff I need to flesh out here but ah !! on to the end

·         During the great battle things are a bit different?? The whole “dying twice” thing is scrapped – instead, when a starclan/dark forest cat is “killed” in battle, they’re just sent back to their respective residence, but now they can’t walk in dreams or walk among the living

·         Bramble is killed by hawk, lion is killed by ash, ash is then banished back 2 dark forest by squirrel (yes ashfur is in the dark forest finally where he BELONGS), mousefur n millie r killed by df warriors, bracken dies instead of sorreltail, and dustpelt dies instead of ferncloud , fire still dies

crowfeather also dies after trying 2 hurt/attack leafpool and/or breezepelt . nightcloud motherfucking DESTROYS that dickhead

·         After the battle is over its time to start leaving but everyone realizes that thunderclan now has no deputy or leader. Fire’s ghost gets up and walks to holly and touches his muzzle to her forehead, basically appointing her as the next leader

·         Holly goes and gets her nine lives, which are:

o   Brackenfur: Diligence

o   Dustpelt: Trust (bc how he trusted fire despite their obvious differences)

o   Cinderpelt: Appreciation (basically to love her life while she has it and value all her days)

o   Mousefur: Wit

o   Longtail: Sacrifice

o   Honeyfern: Friendship (her and holly were super close, honey and hazel also verged on a romantic relationship before her death. This is just kinda the life given 2 holly 2 like, befriend other clans and make allies and shit)

o   Brambleclaw: Dedication (like his dedication to prove himself 2 thunderclan

o   Firestar: Prosperity

o   Lionblaze: Loyalty (like his loyalty 2 his siblings, even if it faltered a few times)

·         Poppyfrost, berrynose, birchfall, and thornclaw die after the battle (a few days later), bright moves to the elders den w/ cloud after their kits are made apprentices or warriors idk

·         Time goes on. Mousewhisker/jayfeather become mates, hazeltail/hollystar become mates (mouse and hazel are both trans btw !! mouse is a trans boy and hazel is a trans girl bc these are honestly,,, my favorite lgbt wc headcanons ull never not see me make an au or headcanon where either of them aren’t trans like man,,)

·         Anyways mouse and jay have kits, and hazel+holly adopt a pair of rogue kittens (this au’s version of alderkit and sparkkit. Spark is also a trans girl and alder is also a trans boy !!! spark is a ginger tabby n alder is a torbie)
