will Longtail still get blinded in the rewrite? I think it would be cool if he does but stays a warrior and then trains Jayfeather, so it’s more like jay chooses to be a med cat then getting forced to cuz fuck ableism

Also I am here for any cute Longfire moments because yeah

Is Swift an orphan that Longtail found? That was always my little head canon, or is he Longtail’s actual kid? One last thing! Is this going to be posted on AO3 when it’s finished?

so for my au, longtail is still blinded. he had become deputy after whitestorm dies instead of graystripe, so he definitely fights to keep that position and firestar stands with him on that. while longtail gets used to his new blindness, someone else (likely graystripe) takes over deputy duties until longtail is ready to resume them. for plot purposes, bramble still needs to become deputy to be a bad leader later, so i’m thinking graystripe AND longtail get taken by twolegs before the great journey. they were separated, though, so longtail gets back right after jaykit is born. at this point, bramble has been made deputy, and longtail is a little grumpy, but doesn’t protest and goes back to being a warrior. he does train jaykit, who becomes a warrior, because medcat lionblaze is dear to me, and provides an interesting internal conflict for the guy. jayfeather is probably still just as inventive and starclan connected, he just doesn’t care and lets lionblaze now about important things.

there’d be an odd kind of feeling for me if swift was longtail’s kid — bc cloud is fire’s nephew and adopted kid, and swift/bright/cloud is so dear to me. so swift remains goldenflower’s first kit, presumably with tigerclaw, who does not care about him. longtail and swiftpaw still get that cute mentor/uncle bond thing going, for sure.

unfortunately i have other projects i’m working on and actively writing, so i don’t have time to write this one :(

this au is kind of me just having fun with canon when the mood strikes. however, if anyone wants to take the au and write it (or just pieces of it, as part of their own work) please feel free! i’d love if i was tagged so i could read it :)

(as a note: i’m probably going to be a lot less active on this blog for a while. as seen with my last post, things got really busy, and my family is really struggling at the moment. things just seem to keep piling up, so i’ll be a lot less free. please don’t let that discourage you, though!! i’ll still be answering asks whenever i can)

pls don’t expect much of me for a little bit lol finals finished today but i got sick, and then christmas and after that i have a funeral to go to, and THEN family vacation lol. currently trying to sleep everything off

Like to think that, as a ex-kittypet, firestar its a pretty touchy cat, like, he likes physical contact a lot and does it quite often

he’s so huggy. he’s the huggiest hugger. one time, graypaw was beckoning firepaw over to share tongues, but firepaw just rubbed against his side real hard, purred, flopped on the ground, and kept purring.

as yellowfang dies, she licks his head real hard and he just gets choked up bc it brings up a memory of his mom, the only memory he has of her.

cloudtail is super similar, and fireheart punishes his apprentice for disrespect with cuddle bans.

as fireheart and longtail become friends, fireheart gets super touchy. he rubs and leans on longtail and intertwines their tails, and longtail is SO flustered but he thinks it’s platonic because fireheart acts similarly with graystripe.

as soon as squirrelkit and leafkit don’t need sandstorm’s milk, she leaves the nursery and firestar replaces her :3 he was there the whole time, but yknow. he LOVES sitting there all day with kits cuddling him. HIS kits, can you believe it? once those two are apprenticed, firestar mopes a bit from lack of cuddles.

after his kits leave the nursery, firestar refuses (can’t) sleep without another cat, usually longtail.

leafpool was always a little closer to firestar than squirrelflight was, despite firestar’s wishes, so they have cute little moments sitting together and grooming each other, rubbing their heads together and purring.

even once his family is full-grown, they all pile in the leader’s den from time to time to cuddle firestar. this continues until his death — so his grandbabies, the three, get to join in! bramblestar does not continue this tradition in the leader’s den, but squirrelflight’s kids still cuddle her. firestar passed on the cuddle gene.

in starclan, firestar is the patron saint of cuddle puddles because i said so???

i definitely want legendary cats to be known as “patron” of something, and firestar definitely will be one, and it will definitely have to do with love.

Im sure Leafpool sleeps on top of mothwing because shes just a big golden pillow

absolutely youre so right what was i thinking this is the best opinion

[sillspore]

Does our girl tawnypelt recieve more attention? I just feel like she deserves more

on the journey, YES, but afterward i’m not too sure what to do with her? like after that arc. bc during the arc she’ll have a pov and a large role, plus a huge part in brambleshade’s pov bc in my au, she trains with tigerstar for a bit. which sounds odd, but let me explain haha

in canon, tawny rejects any connection to her dad, but joins his clan and names one of her kits after him. which is wild. which i will be changing bc two tigerstars is too much.

so, i’m thinking tawny is driven from thunderclan by all the accusations and assumptions about her character, straight into her dad’s evil ass paws. yea he’s awful, but he’s good to his kids. if only to serve a purpose. when he dies, she even kinda misses him after. this leads to the new prophecy — her big thing, like brambleshade, is showing that she’s loyal to her clan. however, she also cares a LOT about her family and her connection to them. she and bramble hang out a lot on the journey. when she finds out about hawk and moth, she attemps to connect with them. hawkfrost accepts at first, and moth awkwardly kinda accept-declines. like: ywah sure id love to be sisters! (never talks to her again)

tawny would know tigerstar is bad, of course. but her memories of him are good, and she knows he’s strong. so when he offers to train her, she says yeah. she gains skill and power, but when tigerstar starts talking about setting her up as leader she gets out. she wants strength, not leadership. she wants to be a good warrior, not anything more. unlike hawk and bramble, her ambitions do not look to “taking over” the clan. after she leaves, hawk refuses to talk to her, and she calls bramble a doofus for staying.

she kinda got her good memories of tigerstar soured with the cruel way he talked to her, so she completely distances herself from him.

when she has kits, she most certainly does not name her tiger-clone baby tigerkit lol. idk what else yet, but he will be different!!

otherwise, though, i just don’t know what to do with her. in the current arc we finally have another shadowclan pov, but she’s decrepit by then lmfao. and in avos, we have needletail, but from my memory needletail leaves shadowclan for darktail pretty quick. so unfortunately i think she’s left to be relegated to badass background character. if anyone has any ideas for her, let me know!

Same anon from the long post one.

I like the idea but some of seen too much (Don't think I hate you please 😭, a lot Wc fans can't handle criticism sometimes and go right to you thinking if someone criticizes them/or their art they must hate the person)

Maybe because just I'm bramblestar and squilf's fan, I could be bias but I wish Brambleshade is more than just a dick? I understand you hate him and that is fine but making his whole character as nothing but a character with all flaws (that what I got from reading your post, not trying to assume anything, don't change your AU just because I or anyone said so, it's your work do what you want) seem lame to me.

He is seem more to have nothing but flaws, I don't see him doing a lot of those. Him trying to exiling Squirrelflight seems something he won't do at all and have.Again no hate toward you, I think your AU could be nice to some people but not for me. Not because of you, it just seem every AU with Brambleclaw, he is same character over again.

He is either a evil, good for nothing cat who is only there to have power of three plot to happen or like I said before a man wife.

again no hate to you but the AU isn't for me but I can definitely see other people liking, maybe I would like more if you make a fanfic about it, who knows. Again I'm not saying cant have a bad/ a character you don't like befit anyone's view because it's your fanfic, all that. It's up to you.

It just seem repeat from every other AU about or around Bramnleclaw. I hope to see ur AU grow ever through I don't like some of plots in it ❤️ /ih

yeah, i understand lol! since i haven’t written anything, it’s just an outline, the characters may seem very shallow or one dimensional :) i do want to give brambleshade good qualities — in the beginning he IS good. firestar made him deputy, after all, so he must have seen leader qualities within brambleclaw. however, the intent behind this au is to add small things i like, and make canon work. a lot of plot threads and character choices in warriors are… weird, to say the least. the goal with brambleshade is to make his canon character work. in the new prophecy, he’s kind of annoying, but he’s a good guy. he’s noble, and strong, and caring. but he DOES act petty and rude to squilf after the reveal of the three’s heritage (which personally, i feel he’s within his rights to do, for the lies she led him on with), he DOES act like the three aren’t his kids after (which is so dumb to me), and he DOES use his power as a leader to set up situations to make squirrelflight look disrespectful or dumb. he puts her in dangerous situations, forces her to choose her morals over his orders (thinking of squirrelflight’s hope here), and punishes her for it.

listen, in my head, my brambleclaw is a good guy. he’s a good cat-husband, a good dad, and a good if somewhat bland leader. in my head, he’s goldenflower’s son and he acts like it. but if i put HIM in THIS au, sooo many plots simply wouldn’t happen. to match the flow of canon, i’d have to create new plots and villains and honestly? i don’t want to haha. i’m still in school, i don’t have a whole lot of time to dedicate to this. so, i’m sticking with mostly canon overarching plots and doing what i need to make it work. and in canon, bramblestar sucks. they make him cruel and vindictive and a horrible mate to squirrelflight, sometimes he outright constructs narratives to come up with reasons to be mad at her. it’s crazy. personally, i see it as them ruining him to create a new antagonist, but they refuse to make him a villain, so no one recognizes or checks his behavior. it’s so infuriating, i wish the authors would pick a characterization. stick with the intended brambleclaw and actions that make sense for him, or stick to him going “evil” and acting insane (aka how he acts in squirrelflight’s hope).

so, to make canon work, bramble is good, then “bad” (acting within reason, but the protags are his not-kids who he’s being rude to, so he’s perceived badly), then bad. he’s not meant to be evil, he isn’t ashfur or anything. but the story is meant to show that he is heartbroken, and emotionally vulnerable, and embraces a vindictive part of himself he’s never let air (which IS canon, his thought process on if he should kill firestar in sunset or not is genuinely disturbing lmao). then he gets his mate back. and THEN he is killed, possessed, mentally violated. this RUINS him. he is not mentally stable, and this allows for squirrelstar to happen. i can very well just kill him at the end of the broken code instead, it achieves the exact same result. if that’s what you guys prefer, that works for me :) the intent of bramblestar trying to exile squirrelflight for “betraying” him is to show how he’s degraded, kind of like bluestar in arc 1, and give way for the audience to see the new code rule (stripping a leader of their power) . that’s kind of what i meant by “you won’t like this if you like brambleclaw” lol. i dislike his canon character, but in my head hes just a little guy. he’s got great potential and i love him. but that has no place in this au, because conflict is NEEDED.

i hope this doesn’t come across as defensive !!! just trying to explain why i made the decisions i did :) i really appreciate your thoughts and you sending them to me! the entire point of me sharing this blog is to receive suggestions and criticisms.

my intent isn’t to make brambleclaw evil, just an antagonist. i like to imagine if i have him die before squilf gets her lives, like in the final battle of tbc (idk what he’d die to yet though, haven’t reread those books yet), he’d regain mental clarity in starclan and give her a life, for love. <3

We should completely ignore bramble's and squirrel's relationship and make bramble call fire dad some times by completely accident, bramble would be all embarassed and fire completely delighted because he actually care and love all his kits a lot

god in a better timeline absolutely but unfortunately without bramblesquirrel (in my au, squirrel is his unwilling mate so no one knows she and crowfeather were mates, and bramble doesn’t find out for ages) the broken code doesn’t happen, and i am not in the business of creating a whole new arc for squirrelstar to happen in. im too lazy rip

firestar definitely sees bramble as one of his kids, but bramble sees fire as kinda an uncle. fire helped raise him, but bramble doesn’t care about family bonds all that bitch cares about his who’s biologically related to him, as we can see with hawkfrost and the way he abandons the three

How would be the three reaction to Leafpool having a new litter? Would they be happy or angry?

hmmm lion would be awkward about it, but kind. jay would be a little bitter, but he likes mothwing as his weird step-mom (because that’s what the relationship is — despite being one of his bio moms, she’s only just now come into his life in a parental role). hollyleaf is dead.

[sillspore]

Now that brambleclaw and squirrelflight aren't mates, how would Alderheart and Sparkpelt being born? Most AUs (not saying those aus are bad) just have Bramblestar as a nothing character either as a villain with no personality or forgettable, with the personlity of wheat bread "man wife"

A lot of Bramnleclaw's character in/is about Squirrelflight and their love triangle with Ashfur. I can't really see (again no offense to you. Just airing my thoughts) as him being nothing character, if he isn't her mate than how would TBC happen or would that series never happen because Ashfur or Brambleclaw aren't mates with Squirrelflight. How would plotpointd such as his relationship with firestar would become? It would be jus them as adoptive siblings?

beware, this shit is long! soooo much more under the cut.

i’ve been thinking about this! basically, squilf would replace leafpool in the forbidden romance plot with crowfeather. during tpb, all of squilf’s romance will be with crowfeather. we get his pov during the journey, where he will be close with feathertail but crushing on squirrelpaw. we get squilf’s pov when they get home, where we can hear her internal debates over her feelings about crowpaw and missing him. she is attached to brambleshade (brambleclaw), but in a sibling way. in my head, firestar is a pseudo-dad to bramble, so a sibling dynamic makes sense. however, this isn’t reciprocated the same way. bramble grows to be in love with squirrelflight.

in twilight, squirrel and crow debate leaving, but decide against it and amicably agree to split. at the same time, leafpool is having the same issue with mothwing — mothwing cares little about the warrior code, and would much rather leave the clans and live their lives in peace, with a bonus of the fact that hawkfrost would never follow her and she’d be free of him. they run away, but come back just in time, like the leafcrow romance in canon.

as a note, because tc doesn’t share borders with rc, they had no idea it was mothwing that leafpool ran away with.

afterward, in sunset, squirrelflight grows closer to bramble and ashfur is scorned, much like in canon. she realizes he assumes she’s in love with bramble, and she lets this happen to dissuade him from trying to “win” her back. she feels safe doing this, because she assumes her sibling feelings towards bramble are the same from his side.

(note: squilf did date ashfur while she was arguing with bramble, but at first it was just friendship. she thought he’d make a great mate, and she could forget about crowfeather and maybe even have kits. but as he grows more controlling, she breaks up with him. soon after, she reconciles with bramble and ashfur takes this as badly as possible.)

after the whole saving her dad thing, squirrelflight is delighted. (side note again: bramble does become deputy, because longtail retires early. longstar would be too good of a leader, we need a shit one, for plot reasons.) bramble is delighted, because he thinks this means she loves him “again”. leafpool had no idea about the crowfeather thing, and tells squilf about the dream starclan sent of squilf and bramble walking side by side. squilf takes this to mean starclan wants her and bramble as mates (they absolutely do, the meddling weirdos), but with the way she feels about him? she isn’t fond of the idea. however, at the book’s end, leafpool tells her she’s pregnant. squilf knows exactly who’s they are — and she is both petrified and delighted. it’s complicated situation, she’s so overjoyed to have her love’s kits, but he will never know them and the clan will be suspicious. everyone knows she was courting ashfur but spends all her time with bramble now, so they’ll assume it’s one of theirs. so will the two cats in question. if she refuses to say who, it’ll be very obvious their father is not thunderclan. she tells this much to leafpool, who advises her to follow starclan’s wish and become bramble’s mate, for real. squilf tries to convince herself this will be okay, because it’s what starclan wants.

later, leafpool tells her she’s carrying mothwing’s kits, and they (TOGETHER) devise the plan to have squilf raise them, which will be easy because she’ll actually have milk here. bramble is over the moon at the news of kits, and squilf is dying inside. it’d be a depressing inner monologue, her trying to convince herself she can be happy like this.

leafpool fakes a starclan vision, saying squirrelflight must visit the moonpool immediately, for plot reasons. squilf gives birth up there, and crow stumbles upon them. there’s a unique herb growing in the cave that he was sent to retrieve for his “mate” (they’ve come to an agreement: crow takes night as his mate to look loyal, and the kits she has won’t appear as if they were fathered by a rogue, like they actually were), nightcloud, who’s about to give birth. he sees squilf’s kits, they get emotional and sappy. there’s two kits, unnamed. together, they name them hollykit and breezekit, and crow takes breezekit (the one out of rhe two without red on him) back to wc to be raised by nightcloud with her kits. he’ll blend right in with the litter.

a few hours later, leafpool gives birth to jaykit, lionkit (still haven’t decided his name change), and dovekit. after another day, a tc patrol comes to get them, wondering what took them so long, surprised to find squirrelflight’s four kits! they carry ‘em home, and squilf settles in the nursery, fussed over by brambleshade. about a week later, dovekit dies, and squilf is heartbroken. she grows listless and finds it hard to take care of her remaining kits, but later recovers and is a great mom.

power of three goes pretty close to canon, major plot wise. hollyleaf is not a member of the three, but it makes SENSE bc she wasn’t actuallt part of the three’s litter. dovekit was, who was later reincarnated into whitewing’s kit, dovekit, in order for the prophecy to be fulfilled. for the fire scene, it goes the same mostly, squilf claiming they aren’t her kits, ashfur says idc you love them anyway. i think i may have firestar save them from ashfur here, losing his final life. after the fire, squilf admits that hollyleaf is her kit, but the other two aren’t. hollyleaf pries the whole story out of leafpool, and goes STRAIGHT to brambleshade, before he goes to receive his nine lives. he thanks her for telling him, and he is heartbroken (because, apparently, his wife never loved him.) and furious. none of his kits were his, some of them were even leafpool’s! after he’s made bramblestar, he appoints hollyleaf as his deputy, citing that she’s the only one he can trust. things go to shit, sol, hollyleaf snaps and kills ashfur, hollyleaf tells the clans everything, including the prophecy, etc etc. hollyleaf dies, killed by the falling rocks in the tunnels. her role in the great battle stays the same, as does firestar’s, bc their ghosts can still kick ass.

after this, during omen of the stars, we see bramble actively punishing squirrelflight. everything is shit. i don’t know who i’ll have him pick as deputy, but they’ll die during the flood of bramblestar’s storm. jessy happens, etc etc, squilf and him make up. she apologizes, and he apologizes, but he kinda makes it about him, hmmm….

anyway, spark and alder are bramblesquirrel kits still. i haven’t thought about major plot for avos yet, i’ve barely thought about pot and oots. but, squilf is made deputy, and the broken code is a thing. bramblestar is freed of rhe possession, but there will be a scene where squirrelcrow have a Moment and bramblestar loses his shit. he accuses her of betraying him, of being cruel and evil, yada yada. brambleshade is a little weird, maybe kinda vindictive, but bramblestar is out of his mind. the sheer amount of power he has and his desire to use it against her is dangerous. he is very clearly an evil person, despite the sympathies he has. anyway, bramblestar tries to exile her, but spark stops him. she, and the clan, are OVER bramblestar, who was just as bad a leader as the imposter. he is stripped of his name and lives via rhe new warrior code rule, and the clan watches in horror as he loses all but his last life in real time. he’s moved to the medicine den. meanwhile, squilf becomes a star, and appoints ivyclaw (ivypool) her deputy. she gives brambleshade the option of leaving the clan or retiring, and he hobbles his old ass to the elder’s den.

after all this, crowfeather decides to join thunderclan, and squirrelstar happily accepts him, daring anyone to argue. they get their happily ever after, and it’s very sweet. maybe breeze even comes with his dad, tired of his clan’s scorn? regardless, it’s a very awkward time for nightheart watching his grandad spit obscenities at his step-grandad. wild.

pls tell me if this is incoherent ive never written my ideas out for the squirrelcrow bramblesquirrel plot before !!!

Could you please infodump some of your mothpool headcanons to us?

they’re so. they’re so i love them (my bad this turned into a mothpool story ramble instead of headcanons)

- leafpaw sees mothpaw once and her lesbian eyes widen like she just saw god

- mothpaw is super anxious and leafpaw makes her feel unjudged and like an equal

- yes i made moth a paw still, i’ll have it so moth was changed to a med app shortly before her warrior ceremony, explaining why she’s an app and hawkfrost is a warrior

-mudfur names her mothwing (after the fake sign hawkfrost planted) before he dies

- anyway back to the gays

-they’re both lesbians, mothwing is a trans girl :) for me bc im trans and i like making characters trans and also for biological kits purposes

- in the lake territories, leafpool has a crisis when she realizes she loves mothwing. they have a little abandoned cave slightly past the territories they’d meet in i think

- mothwing confesses first, not caring for the code (in ripples, meds can have mates just not kits unless they have a replacement while they step down to care for their family) (half-clan relationships are still forbidden until bristlefrost’s law is made, allowing cats to switch clans to be with their mate)

- leafpool gives in and they are mates!!!

- they almost run away. go back to save thunderclan :( just like leafcrow in canon

- shortly after, leafpool realizes she’s pregnant!! luckily, squirrelflight confesses that she is too. they concoct a plan…. leafpool will give her kits to squirrel to raise, and no one can ask where they came from bc of the queen’s rights law in the warrior code

- (leafpool can’t raise her kits herself bc she’s the sole medicine cat, her clan would be left without a healer)

- they openly tell everyone squirrel is expecting to take attention off of leafpool, brambleclaw immediately assumes they’re his — squirrelflight doesn’t refute him. she only sees him as a brother, but if she denied it the only other cat as a possible father would be ashfur, or a rogue. neither of those options are good for others to assume in her opinion

- as canon, squirrel and leaf go off, and luckily they give birth at the same time. squirrelflight gives birth to hollykit and breezekit, and leafpool gives birth to lionkit (name change maybe), jaykit, and dovekit. they do this at the moonpool, and the wailing attracts crowfeather. he and squirrelflight get emotional, muah muah, cutesy, agree to separate, crowfeather takes breezekit for his friend nightcloud to raise with the kits she was currently giving birth to. that’s the reason crow was out, to get her a nice stick.

- they go back to tc after a patrol helps em carry the 4 kits, later on dovekit dies, squirrelflight is devastated :( so is leafpool :(

and brambleclaw ig

- holly, jay and lion are raised as siblings

- after the reveal, i kinda don’t want leafpool to die as i’ve said before so i think she’ll go to riverclan to be with mothwing, but she’ll be there as a warrior

- theyre so sweet :( leafpool picks flowers and puts them in mothwing’s mane

- leafpool headbutts, a trait she shares with squirrelflight

- mothwing curls around her every night to keep her warm. in greenleaf, leafpool often has to kick her away bc the heat is STIFLING

- leafpool brings the thunderclan herb pouch craft to riverclan, which afterwards becomes quite popular

- leafpool takes her swimming lessons from mothwing, and doesn’t do half bad! she ends up enjoying it

- similarly, she enjoys fishing and how calm it is

- whenever she can find willow she weaves it into necklaces and crowns for mothwing. they are all over the medicine den

- mothwing loves her wife so much she uses her healer privileges to get her the best piece of prey

- leafpool acts as mothwing’s guard, which just means leafpool is required to accompany mothwing on most patrols. leafpool is delighted by this.

- they bask on rocks together!!!! leafpool is entranced by the way mothwing glows

- “i don’t know her god, but i’m no stranger to devotion”

- maybe they’ll even have more kits… who knows?

hmm, with lion, jay and dove (who dies young and is reincarnated into dovewing for the prophecy to be fulfilled) being mothpool’s litter, maybe lion’s name should be changed completely. it’s currently lionsong, but with the jay and dove having bird names, it’d make a lot more sense for lion to have a bird prefix too. what do ya think? i’ll drop some options below! i think for some of these the suffix could be changed to -call and it sounds better and keeps the same spirit as -song.

keep lionsong

falconsong / falconcall

eaglesong / eaglecall

kitesong / kitecall

harriersong / harriercall

owlsong / owlcall

sparrowsong / sparrowcall

hawk would be a good option if not for hawkfrost!!! but i’m not changing that edgy boy’s name

pls respond with which name you like best!

alright guys we have a decision to make…. i don’t want to condemn squirrel to unhappiness, so while she will have her moment with bramble she ends up with crow, who will join tc to be w her. this is after their bio kits (breeze and holly) are full grown, probably right after the big reveal of the three’s parentage. SO. crow is good. but, breeze’s bad childhood is essential to his character “arc” (if you can call it that, they gave up on it after oots)

so we have two options. 1) awful nightcloud. this keeps the integrity of breeze’s backstory, but allows for crow to be a good guy. 2) neither crow or night are cruel to him, breeze is loved by his parents but the clan subtly shuns him. his emo backstory is lessened, but he can still have an arc. what do we think?

my thoughts exactly!!! growing more attached by the day hehe

I have a question! What makes you like SquirrelCrow? is it any particular interactions they have in canon, or is it just the concept of them that you find appealing? It's been quite a while since I read TNP so I really don't remember any fun interactions between them....I'd be thrilled to be proven wrong though!

(feel free to go crazy explaining this, I love hearing people's reasons why they enjoy certain ships!)

I just felt like the pairing of crowleaf happened too suddenly- if the erins really fleshed out the pairing I probably would've been on board with it! I don't really remember too much in canon stuff to really make a case for squirrelcrow, but the concept of them bonding over the journey and being friends which then leads to romance makes more sense to me.

Two sassy apprentices stuck on this journey together! A broad enemies-to-lovers trope! Plus, I know the only reason why squirrel and bramble got together was the whole concept of "OH MY GOD Tigerstar's child and Firestar's child are... TOGETHER, no way". But there's definitely a really weird age gap thing going on there.

Firestar should have been bramble's father figure, and bramble should have been squirrel's + leaf's older brother figure.

Anyways! Squirrelcrow just makes more sense to me plot + story-wise.
