Warrior Cats Novellas in 10 Words or Less (mostly 10 words):

So I started explaining the super editions to my friend who’s only read the first series and then this just happened. I’ve read a majority of the novellas and I’ve at least seen review for pretty much all of them so this may be somewhat accurate. Without further ado:

Hollyleaf’s Story - presumed-dead murderer delays confronting mistakes (with ghost love interest???)

Mistystar’s Omen - local leader conflicted about her atheist doctor (real main character)

Cloudstar’s Journey - entire people wiped out in series of tragic events (sad)

Tigerclaw’s Fury - coup leader recruits goons (several things go wrong)

Leafpool’s Wish - doctor has illegal affair and children (sister deals with it)

Dovewing’s Silence - I cried at the mass funeral (not kidding)

alternatively; Dovewing’s Silence - woman struggles with perfectly fine hearing (featuring annoying creep Bumblestripe)

Mapleshade’s Vengeance - everyone is somewhat to blame (please don’t kill me)

Goosefeather’s Curse - baby prophet gets bullied (and causes numerous disasters)

Ravenpaw’s Farewell - gay cats are the best cats (rip OG Alderheart)

Spottedleaf’s Heart - they didn’t think this one through well enough (questionable)

Pinestar’s Choice - had to look this one up (guy thinks life sucks?)

Thunderstar’s Echo - don’t know this one (mundane stuff happens in ancient Thunderclan?)

Redtail’s Debt - the writers didn’t pay attention (still a good story tho)

Tawnypelt’s Clan - old lady sick of everyone’s shit (and rightfully so)

Shadowstar’s Life - state leader paranoid about assassination (tensions temporarily resolved with death)

Pebbleshine’s Kits - pregnant woman wanders around a bit (allows kinda weird cameos)

Tree’s Roots - genuinely nice character backstory (will warm your heart)

Mothwing’s Secret - doctor rejects religion (good conclusion - the gods are a scam)

Daisy’s Kin - babysitter thinks she’s purposeless (she’s actually too good for everyone)

Blackfoot’s Reckoning - cool, but I don’t get the hype (sorry Blackstar fans)

alternatively; Blackfoot’s Reckoning - president reviews obvious mistakes during inauguration (while making several excuses)

Spotfur’s Rebellion - woman assists coup that fails (she’s not like other girls)

Random's top 10 favorite warrior cats ships.

even though my favorite ship is incredibly obvious, I still did this list.

10. This is my favorite Canon ship in Warrior Cats because it is healthy, (Other ships are healthy too, but they never really got in conflict with eachother). Unfortunately Willowbreeze and Crookedstar had a very sad end in Crookedstar's Promise. Overall, love these two dearly.

9. This is real, and canon. If you guys disagree with me either you are homophobic, or just never read Tallstar's Revenge. A couple of years back, I didn't understand the ship, until I picked up that book, opened it, and read it. My mind was like, "Oh! So that is why people like them so much!" Because Tallstar seemed pretty attracted to Jake, and attached to him. It was sad when they departed.

8. This is really good, and awesome, they loved being around eachother in Graystripe's Vow. Honestly, Flipclaw should have never left the tribe so he can be with Feather.

7. I feel like the books in A Starless Clan just says that Whistlepaw and Frostpaw should be together. Whistlepaw has helped Frostpaw out during the newest book. Well at least the first half, I have not finished it yet.

6. I think the dynamic of these two are hilarious, just think that after a long time of Sunbeam and Lightleap hating eachother, they would just be together, and Nightheart would be just like, ":o" and I just love Lightleap in general.

5. I think of the same for these two. Honestly it would make Lionblaze the slightest bit more interesting than his relationship with Cinderheart. Same for Berrynose. I also respect Jayberry as well. Jayberry is the other best Jayfeather ship besides Jaykestrel, and Jayfuzz.

4. This is Canon too. I think Ravenpaw x Barley is more clear than Tallstar x Jake, and Barley is the definition emotional support for Ravenpaw. Ravenpaw's Path is cool, and Ravenpaw's Farewell is okay. I hope Barley will see Ravenpaw again someday, he is basically 10 million years old if there is no more info on Barley.

3. I think everyone expected Mothpool to be on everyone's top 10 list. It really reads like Leafpool had a crush on Mothwing before Crowfeather came along. I was obsessed with this ship back in March of 2023.

2. This is my favorite rarepair in Warrior Cats for literally no reason. I just think that Hazeltail being happy to be around Hollyleaf is really cute for like I said, no reason. I am glad this ship is getting noticed by other people.

1! My heart is so happy to put Kestreljay on this list! Jaykestrel, Kestreljay, whatever you call it is my life! I get so happy when someone makes Kestreljay. Even draws it. I love this ship because back in the book Long Shadows, Jaypaw showed up in Kestrelpaw's dreams, and it seems like Kestrelpaw dreams about him often because he didn't seemed weirded out, or bothered. He was happy to see him. And what also gets me is back in Outcast where Kestrelpaw asked Jaypaw what is it was like to be blind. I thought that was funny. Everyone knows how Jayfeather acts. Thank you for your time!

9 & 10 for the violence ask game?

9: worst part of canon wc: the sheer amount of characters and how none of them have personalities & the intense focus on thunderclan are the two worst things for me . there are so many characters that COULD have really interesting personalities an COULD have really interesting stories and COULD be from different clans and yet the erins just!!!!!!!!!! dont care!!!!!!!! and i hate it!!!!!!!!!! one piece: the whitewashing of a bunch of different characters in the anime and the.... sexification (?) of nami and robin. robin and usuopp used to have REALLY COOL DARK SKIN and now they are AS PALE AS SNOW its awful. and with nami and robin. MANNNNN nami used to be so cool with her short hair & loooooooved robins mysteriousness and vague androgyny and !!! then. they got rid of it. and now both of them are just sexy girls with the blandest designs ever and i am so upset about it 10: worst part of fanon wc: the intense obsession's with tpb/tnp/po3 and oots. everyone and their mom has read those four arcs and NOBODY ON THIS PLANET HAS READ DOTC/AVOS/TBC/ASC . this might not Sound that bad the earlier books are VERY GOOD i will admit but EVERYWHERE i look there's stuff for lionblaze & hollyleaf & jayfeather & leafpool & squilf & firestar & sandstorm & dovewing & ivepool and like. i love a lot of these characters but like!!! guess what guys!!! there's cats like tree & rootspring & bristlefrost & flipclaw & shadowsight & lightleap & thunderstar & jagged peak & turtle tail & bumble & probably a bunch of other characters that are just as cool and interesting!!!! and theres little to nothing about ANY of them!!! plus all of the SEs and novellas!!! i have NEVER heard ANYONE talk about skyclans destiny or firestars quest or ravenpaws farewell and it SUCKS!!! yall need to read more of these books i swear!!! i know that avos wasn't like the greatest thing ever which is why i assume a lot of people dropped the books but tbc and asc (so far) have been!!! pretty cool!!! quit hiding in the past of nostalgia and childhood memories and learn to accept the future !

Hi! Do you have any headcanons about what happened to the SkyClan cats, Creekfeather, Shrewtooth, Egg, and Rockshade, who disappeared between Sky/Clan's DestinySkyClan and the Stranger & Ravenpaw's Farewell? I mean, presumably they died, it was a long time and the life of a warrior is filled with hazards, but any ideas for how or when?

hi no sorry it's been a while since I read the skyclan central books. If I were to invent something right now I'd say Egg became a loner again, Creekfeather and Rockshade died of greencough and Shrewtooth was hit by a monster but it's really just for the sake of inventing because I also don't remember much about any of them.

Have you read Greystripe's Vow? And what are your thoughts on Greystripe?

Admittedly I skimmed it becoz I just wasn't interested but I can give some thoughts.

I loved the Then vs Now parts and the way it was structured- GV and Blackfoots Reckoning stand out for more adventurous story-telling, along with SkyClan's Destiny and Stick's chapters. I just wasn't convinced by the plot or why it had to exist. The Fury/BloodClan bits kinda clash with the Ravenpaw's Path post-Scourge BloodClan plot even if you consider the two groups as different factions. Fang/Honeysuckle... yeah whatever. coincidental but sure ill buy it

The 'Now' stuff was just... Broken Code really dropped the ball around Bk4-5 but whatever. I didn't expect Greystripe to leave tho it was very... strange. and how this adventure became him saving ThunderClan i'm still not convinced on. I did like Flipclaw I guess, and Flywhisker and Snaptooth leaving was good. The SE was fun but really didn't add anything- like it just filled the gap between FQ-Ravenpaw's Path and did nothing else. not everything needs major character development or plot development (espec what should be separate SE's) but it was literally filler. maybe this would have been more interesting from Monkeystar or Fang's POV with them bumping into Greystripe on his wander, having had weird dreams and then setting up the Clan a bit more- a reverse Firestar's Quest in a way?

This is super nit picky- but the forest territory should have been left alone. Like the Great Journey seems so much less.. great and hard-won if any fucker can just cross the mountains. I always imagined the forest as completely fucking destroyed so seeing RC territory and the ravine in Ravenpaw's Farewell is just kinda.. rah its still there (yes WindClans fucked but whatever)

Also WarriorClan reminded me so much of my wattpad fanfic's TownClan- kittypets/longers formed into a Clan by an exiled Clan cat- and I was fucking champing at the bit to kick off about it. I did like them I guess they were just annoying kids imho. I did like seeing Barley tho : )

TL;DR The Erins constantly going back to fan favourite arcs and characters doesn't really benefit the world or the characters but it is fun to see them again. This SE is super ignored in the fandom (and I can see why) it just passed without any kind of... acknowledgement. I’d love to hear others thoughts becoz i feel like i never saw any discussion of it : (

#greystripes vow #thanks for the ask! other asks espec drawing reqs i will get to as soon as I can <3

I want to ask my followers something: I've got a bunch of material lined up to read before starting AVoS (I'm going to read DotC after the rest of the series), and I want to know what you think would be best to read immediately after mainline OotS (I'm going to get to all of these, I just want to know which I should do first):

- Mapleshade’s Vengence

- Tigerclaw’s Fury

- Crookedstar’s Promise

- Goosefeather’s Curse

- Cloudstar’s Journey

- Leopardstar’s Honor

- Mistystar’s Omen

- Ravenpaw’s Farewell

- Dovewing’s Silence

- Crowfeather’s Trial

- Bramblestar’s Storm

What's your opinion of Ravenpaw and Barley? Do you have any headcanons for them?

RavenBarley 6.5???/10 maybe? I'm conflicted about this one kinda. I remember way back initially I was like "People ship them? Wasn't Barley like well into his adulthood when he met apprentice Ravenpaw?? That's kinda. Weird" but it seemed so popular and apparently confirmed by authors off site so I kinda went with it and didn't think too hard about it for a while but Idk. I'm torn between "Well it's warrior cats what did you expect" and "We can't keep getting used to this stuff guys" but I still? Like the ship? It's got two guys healing and some great escapist gay adventures, the Raven going to a farm far away so he can have more space to run free and be happy.. :) I like the idea that he gets to just screw off from Thunderclan and his abusive mentor and spend his olden golden days w his husband on a farm being gay cowboys and having a shockingly fine relationship to the dog that also lives there iirc. You'll still catch me speaking up about the age gap tho ngl, even if this one wasn't as egregious, it's still a grossly reoccurring problem in wc and needs to not slide into the background. Don't let this become normal and fine dandy. I still support the people who prefer to imagine them as more "Older support figure/adoptive uncle of Ravenpaw" bc unfortunately it's also a very possible read of their dynamic.. I did read Ravenpaws farewell tho and I think in that one they leaned much more on the Cowboy Husbands relationship which I respect!!!! That book had me sobbing violently if I'm not mistaken. My verdict is "I'm critical of this one but it's better than alot more in the series so you'll catch me enjoying it".

For additional headcanons uhhh well I made a gender hc post of wc some while back, I think I had Raven be Masc nb and I still vibe w that, tho I think just nonbinary Ravenpaw is honestly great in itself too regardless of if he's transmasc or not. I'd also happily hc Barley as nb, tho I think initially I had him be a trans Tom. Bc he truly feels like it! Good for him. Admittedly I didn't vibe with how Raven apparently still was really brainwashed enthusiastic about the clan life n shit but I can understand it and respectfully let it be, bc it adds depth to his character and I appreciate how it works in dynamic with Barleys character. And it does make sense obviously seeing how he was raised but Idk I wish he'd grown up more critical and like. Ex Mormon style about clanlife, like "Yeah that was some wack shit and i believe the religion but I'm definitely not like, That™" kind of thing ykno? Clan life was not kind to him.

Remember Pasha in Ravenpaw's Farewell leading kittypet attacks on Skyclan and teasing Skyclan when SC tried to protect their kits from him and his kittypet friends?? Pasha was crazy I'm surprised more people don't mention that moment tbh

tbh i had to check his wiki for what he did because althou i did read ravenpaw's farewell not that long ago everything that happened in that novella is completely overshadowed by Ravenpaw's death (& the fact Barley had to walk all the way home ALONE that breaks my heart :(( )

one thing i love (sarcasm) about these books is how clan cats describe kittypets as being lazy and not knowing how to fight or hunt all the time when these same kittypets don't hesitate to beat the shit out of them given the chance. ironic isn't it

also i am losing it at this quote. man walked up to some babies and teased them for being babies

he's a funny guy i'll give him that but he really just exists to cause problems for Skyclan

I haven’t read Ravenpaw’s Farewell, not sure if I will, but the vibe I get from the fandom about it is something like this:

“Hey why are we sending two random children to join SkyClan”

“I dunno just kill that gay boy”

#…. maybe i should read it. i like ravenpaw enough. i just dunno what ill get out of it djfjf #its only a novella. still trying to pick out which of those i should read here #and if im doing it at all then i feel i should now since chronologically it happens before hawkwings journey #anyways tho yeah all i know is that ravenpaw gives his niece and nephew to skyclan and keels over

Hi! quick question, what's the chronological list of skyclan centric books? I got to mid AVOS without reading any skyclan books but now idk who any of these cats are, so I want to read them in order to understand the characters, but idk where to start with skyclan other than firestars quest and then skyclan's destiny... some help would be very appreciated qwq

Ok so what I would highly recommend doing is read these books in this order:

Firestar’s Quest

SkyClan’s Destiny

The SkyClan and the Stranger manga trilogy

Ravenpaw’s Farewell (this one is less important than the others though so you could probably skip this if you want and not miss out on too much in terms of SkyClan content apart from two characters and their connection to Barley which becomes a bit important later)

Hawkwing’s Journey (if possible read this one after Shattered Sky but before Darkest Night)

Then you will be all caught up - I would personally recommend maybe breaking from AVOS for a bit to get these done so you are all caught up on context, but if not no worries it can be done after if you so wish.

If you want a bit of bonus SkyClan content that isn’t really relevant to anything in avos then you can read Cloudstar’s Journey at some point after reading Firestar’s Quest if so takes your fancy - but like I said that’s SkyClan content that isn’t relevant to what’s going on now it’s just a bit of bonus stuff about a character from the past you find out about in Firestar’s Quest.

Hope this helps! If you have any more questions just let me know.

ok so i am already way behind on my catch up goals, are we surprised, no we are not. But here i finally am with Ravenpaw's Farewell thoughts anyway

This was actually the first warriors novella I've read and my initial thoughts were basically, "aw geez...are they all going to be written this poorly?" but i have since finished Dovewing's Silence so i am now privy to the fact that, no, they are not all written this poorly.

Overall it just has such structure and character problems. Like i am not going to lie, I 100% teared up at the tour of the old forest, and of course at Ravenpaw's death. His quote about having always been a warrior deserves a special shout out, but for the most part dialogue was really clunky, I swear characters frequently teleported around a scene, or worse, the environment was so poorly described I couldn't tell where anyone was supposed to be wayyy too much of the time. Bella and Riley barely felt real, which I think the author even knew because they tried to keep comparing them to Firestar and Graystripe just to make us experience an emotion. And the conflict and its resolution ("how to make kittypets stop attacking us?" "what if...border.... larger ?") was just silly and made SkyClan and maybe also StarClan look dumb af.

BUT I was very much surprised how central the relationship between Barley and Ravenpaw was. Obviously I was aware that these boys totally love each other and it was one of those things where the authors say they're gay but the publisher won't allow it to be in text, but I still didn't expect their relationship to be so overtly loving. Of course I don't think it's "good enough" -- we should be able to have explicitly same sex mates in Warrior Cats. But it was incredibly sweet to have them talk about how much they love each other, and even little things like the kittens asking them if they had kits of their own.

I did also really appreciate the messaging about how all people - even young people or those born under different circumstances - have a right to choose their own path in life. I wish I had felt a little bit more for all the secondary characters, but overall that's a poignant message, especially aimed at younger readers.

All and all, it was a decent send off to a beloved character and setting, with little nods of foreshadowing to the coming plots with SkyClan and even Graystripe's Vow, but it didn't really put in the extra effort of doing anything new or truly extraordinary, mostly instead trailing on the coattails of nostalgia and better books from the series.

Dovewing's Silence is next!

bleary rambling on barley/ravenpaw in stolag

specifically, a very short bit on why i chose to have them…okay, there’s no way to do this without spoilers.

spoilers (major) for “putting roots in my dreamland,” and spoilers (minor) for events after that. you can read the list of cats i’m covering in stolag, rest assured, if this was coming up again in a fic in any significant way, i wouldn’t talk about it unprompted, but it’s 2am and i’m once again thinking about how solacefruit (the solacefruit! that one!) left a kudos on it’s mere assignment and i need to calm down.

right so. i’m not usually a fan of ravenpaw and barley go to thunderclan aus.

barley’s backstory (and i don’t remember why/when i read it, except that i do know i did at some point) is intensely compelling to me. i’m not cagey about the fact that i like exploring those ideas.

anyway.

barley is a compelling character, but…i (personally) feel sending them to thunderclan is very reductive. it assumes that the right way for them to live was in a clan, when that’s very clearly not true.

ravenpaw and barley are happy together. ravenpaw’s farewell makes that all very clear.

(aside, but all throughought primd, i forgot ravenpaw was older than cinderpelt. ‘tis the power of a suffix.)

anyway, their lifestyle makes them happy. i don’t like changing that.

bothers me less in one-shots, or if it’s just ravenpaw, but ravenpaw + barley feels like…barley’s personality and history is inconvienent to making a surface-level “fix” to what happened to ravenpaw. which uh…i doubt people who do this are thinking about barley very much. i don’t hold it against them.

i just also know that it’s really easy to inadvertently look at how a traumatized, mentally-ill, and/or neurodivergent person lives their life and label it as wrong, because it doesn’t look “normal,” despite it being functional. this isn’t about not being accepting, this is about unintentional tasks that say, “i don’t care how you view the world”

so i don’t usually like that, and i don’t generally plan on doing that to r&b.

but…why now? there’s no real reason to have them stay in shadowclan. they’re only gone for, max, three months. but…in those three months, cinderpelt gets folded into their unit.

because when cinderpelt goes back to thunderclan, a big theme is “i no longer belong here”

a big theme for her, i should say.

and yeah. she’s closer w/ b&r than her kin by now. by circumstance and bonding. so…they stay with her?

but it’s more than that, it’s also…thunderclan puts all the warriors in one den. which, uh, wow there’s a lot to unpack in the context of barley’s backstory, but i’ll start with: yeah no, i think he would hate that.

shadowclan, i’d imagine, is smart enough not to do that. it’s also a quieter clan, with a more predictable schedule: great for anxiety, and for a coming from a home with a predictable schedule.

shadowclan also has a habit of taking in rogues and loners. there’s a better cultural awarenes of the idea that different cats need different things.

and lastly…ravenpaw isn’t returning home to the camp someone tried to kill him in.

right.

it’s late, i just wanted to ramble for a bit.

Graystripe’s Vow

A quick overview, chapter summaries.

31 chapters + prologue + epilogue + manga

Prologue - FQ

BloodClan is planning on getting revenge on Firestar’s Quest era ThunderClan. They are lead by a new leader, Fury.

Gremlin is worried about this, since she is pregnant and doesn’t want to hurt her kits.

Chapter 1 - TBC

Graystripe is realizing he’s old.

Lionblaze looks like Sandstorm, Spotfur has Frostfur’s face, (Frostfur is Ravenpaw’s sibling.)

Thriftear, Thornclaw, Snaptooth, Flywhisker and others disrespect Squirrelflight because she’s not technically leader.

Squirrelflight talks with Graystripe about being deputy/leader. “You can say it, Graystripe. In many ways, Firestar’s ThunderClan was better... at least things seemed easier.”

Graystripe worries about StarClan returning.

Chapter 2 - TBC

Graystripe dreams about being in the (lake) forest with Firestar. The dream turns and Graystripe feels dread. Graystripe imagines Millie and “talks” it out with her. (...) Graystripe asks Brackenfur if “this is the same ThunderClan as Firestar’s ThunderClan.” Brackenfur says it is.

Plumstone and Thriftear get into a fight. They both call Graystripe (and StarClan) an “out-of-date boomer” (exact quote /j) then Thornclaw, Twigbranch and Lionblaze argue about if Squirrelflight is leader or deputy. Bumblestripe, and then Bristlefrost try to break up the fight but fail. Squirrelflight ends up begging them to stop :(

Flipclaw suggests they rewrite the warrior code while StarClan is gone. The Clan flips out and Flipclaw then says maybe he wants to spend some time outside of the Clan. Snaptooth agrees, Flywhisker agrees, and Thornclaw agrees.

Graystripe decides to “wander” with them. Squirrelflight feels betrayed. She gives them a moon to return.

Chapter 3 - FQ

Graystripe ponders life. Willowpelt, his mother, has died. (...) He overhears Brightheart and Ferncloud doubting the purpose of Firestar’s Quest. (not the book, just why Firestar left.) Ashfur and Cloudtail also think Firestar left to live as a kittypet. Mousefur trusts that Firestar isn’t a kittypet, but wants to know where he is.

Cinderpelt yells at Ashfur. (...)

Brambleclaw, Thornclaw and Brackenfur bring Graystripe a dead rabbit with WindClan scent found on their territory (near fourtrees.) Graystripe decides to do nothing about this but increase border patrols, much to the chagrin of the Clan.

Graystripe goes to sleep with troubled thoughts, and is awoken by somebody screaming.

Chapter 4 - TBC

Graystripe and the boys decide to stop and hunt while they are still in the territory. Hawkwing and a SkyClan patrol appear. Snaptooth spills the beans and embarresses Graystripe and the others.

Flywhisker asks if Graystripe wants to rest while they hunt, but he goes hunting anyways. He catches a rabbit. Graystripe contemplates returning to the old forest.

The other warriors talk about how much easier it is to hunt for four. Flipclaw tells Flywhisker that if she were to have kits he’d make sure she’s wellfed. Flywhisker tells him she isn’t interested. He tries again but she shoots him down.

Snaptooth asks what they will do now. Flywhisker wonders what it would be like to be a kittypet. Thornclaw gets sick of this and leaves.

Graystripe tells the others that he wants to visit his son, Stormfur. He hopes that by visiting his “past” he can understand his future.

Chapter 5 - FQ

The screaming was Brightheart. She is giving birth. Graystripe is terrified that she will die like Silverstream. Cloudtail gathers herbs for Cinderpelt.

Graystripe welcomes the kit into ThunderClan and pats himself on the back for doing nothing. Then he realizes that Firestar would done something and not just stand around, and feels ashamed.

A few days later, Thornclaw, Sootpaw and Brambleclaw return with more proof of WindClan hunting on their territory. Ashfur says this wouldn’t be a problem if Dustpelt were deputy.

Graystripe doesn’t know what to do. Mousefur enters camp and tells him that Russetfur wants to speak with Firestar.

Chapter 6 - TBC

The others are nervous about leaving Clan territory. Graystripe has enjoyed hunting.

Suddenly, dogs. They climb trees and a human comes and takes the dogs away.

Later that day, Graystripe tells them that he wants to go now. Flywhisker, Snaptooth and Flipclaw tell him he can go without them.

Flipclaw changes his mind and comes with Graystripe.

Chapter 7 - FQ

Russetfur and Rowanclaw demand to speak with Firestar. Graystripe tells them that Firestar is busy, so they can speak with him instead. Turns out they’ve scented BloodClan on Clan territory. ThunderClan overhears this and instantly smack-talks ShadowClan. (Rowanclaw’s pronouns are switching paragraph to paragraph. *EDIT: I might just be bad at reading... thanks for telling me lol!)

Graystripe tells his Clan that he thinks BloodClan are the ones pretending to be WindClan and causing trouble. Cinderpelt agrees.

Graystripe, Dustpelt and Brambleclaw go to inspect the BloodClan smell, but get jumped by BloodClan troopers. Graystripe sees Gremlin and knows she’s fit to burst.

Fury tells them that she knows that Firestar is gone. BloodClan attacks and defeats Graystripe. They throw him under a fence to get eaten by a dog. The dog is locked in a house, so he survives.

Graystripe heads back to the forest, but encounters Gremlin. She lets him escape. This confuses Graystripe.

Chapter 8 - TBC

Graystripe and Flipclaw make it to the Tribe’s territory. Flipclaw is excited to tell his littermates about this. They encounter two Tribe cats, Moon Shining on Water and Thorn that Grows in Clef.

Graystripe and Stormfur have a sweet reunion for two sentences. Graystripe meets the kits. Flipclaw hits it off with Feather. They are very VERY good friends, (probably a bit more than friends.)

Stoneteller mentions a rogue who had come around asking for Clan cats.

Chapter 9 - TBC

Graystripe tells Stoneteller about all the Bramblestar and ThunderClan problems. Stoneteller has sensed a shadow over the Clans. He tells Graystripe that Graystripe still has a long journey ahead. Graystripe goes to sleep.

A tribe cat tells Stoneteller that the boys Flipclaw and Feather were out hunting, but got trapped in a landslide. Graystripe goes with Stoneteller to help.

Feather manages to get out, but Flipclaw is still stuck. It takes all day, but they get Flipclaw out. Flipclaw’s leg is dislocated.

Graystripe sees Feathertail standing on a shiny rock, and takes it as a sign that he must find the moonstone.

Chapter 10 - FQ

Graystripe returns to camp. He asks Dustpelt if he knows that Ashfur wants him to be deputy. Dustpelt is surprised.

Ashfur talks smack about Graystripe getting beat up by BloodClan (same energy as “im built different”) Brambleclaw reminds him that there were too many BloodClan cats for two and a half warriors to fight.

The next day Graystripe tells ThunderClan they must prepare for BloodClan again.

Chapter 11 - TBC

Graystripe wants to leave the tribe immediately. Stormfur asks why he doesn’t just stay forever. Graystripe considers it, but still wants to go to the moonstone.

Graystripe dreams about Millie’s death. He wakes up and smells the river. He sees sunningrocks.

Graystripe gets attacked by a cat.

Chapter 14 - FQ

It’s the gathering. Graystripe is nervous about BloodClan still being in the forest.

Leopardstar and Blackstar are sceptical about Firestar’s whereabouts. She announces that there was a fox on their territory, but that *Mistyfoot chased it off.

The leaders agree to share news of BloodClan with each other throughout the moon.

Graystripe talks with Stormfur and Feathertail, similar to what he says to them in A Shadow in RiverClan (that they are welcome in ThunderClan.)

Chapter 15 - TBC

Graystripe realizes the kittypet who attacked him is not alone. There are five others. They introduce themselves as WarriorClan! Monkeystar, Bugeater, Fireface, Bigteeth, Clawwhistle, and Chester. They are larping as clan cats during the day, and returning to their humans at night.

Smudge is still alive, and has told the kittypets all about the warriors. They ask if Firestar is with him. Graystripe says he isn’t, but that he is a real warrior. Monkeystar asks him to prove it by fighting her, and he wins.

Graystripe decides to stay with WarriorClan for a little bit, and teaches them how to hunt.

Near sunset, Graystripe decides to leave WarriorClan. Monkeystar bids him farewell. Graystripe finds Four Trees, and is distressed about its destruction.

Chapter 16 - FQ

Graystripe is hunting when he hears someone in the bushes. It’s Gremlin. She wants to give birth to her kits somewhere safe. She says that ThunderClan is the only place she’d want to have her kits. She wants her and her brother to be safe too.

Brackenfur appears and says that they can’t trust Gremlin. Graystripe and him argue a bit.

Graystripe goes home and tells Cinderpelt about Gremlin. Cinderpelt decides to go to the moonstone and ask StarClan.

Chapter 17 - TBC

Still trying to get out of the twoleg place, Graystripe finally gets to the exit. He feels like he’s being followed, and lo and behold WarriorClan wants to see the moonstone.

Graystripe tells them that they can just wait outside for him. They agree and they all set off. When they are closer, they smell a stranger!

WarriorClan is ready for a fight, but the stranger tells Graystripe that they are Gremlin’s kit, and that he had vowed to help Gremlin no matter what. They asked if he would help them too.

Chapter 18 - FQ

Graystripe is going with Cinderpelt to the moonstone. He thinks about Gremlin while he waits outside.

Graystripe falls asleep and dreams about Firestar. Firestar turns into Fury and tells him to wake up. Cinderpelt is back and tells Graystripe that he’s got to make his own decision, and to beware the snake bite.

Graystripe does not find this encouraging.

Chapter 19 - TBC

The stranger, Fang, tells Graystripe that he escaped from an abusive twoleg’s den and wants to go back to get his mate. His mate, Daffodil, is sick and might die (like Gremlin did) in this twoleg’s house.

Graystripe agrees to help but first he wants to go to the moonstone. Bigteeth, Bugeater, Fireface and Chester head back to their humans.

Graystripe enters Mothermouth and asks StarClan to forgive him from trespassing and asks for help.

Lightning strikes!

Graystripe meets with Gremlin at Smudge’s house. Cinderpelt tells Gremlin that one of her kits is upside-down, and that the birth might be hard.

Fury drops by and asks Smudge if he wants to join BloodClan. He stands his ground, and she tells Gremlin that there will be a Clan meeting.

Graystripe calls a Clan meeting himself and tells ThunderClan about Gremlin. The Clan is divided about her, but Cinderpelt helps convince them that Gremlin needs their help.

Ashfur loudly objects, but Cinderpelt helps convince the Clan that Gremlin needs their help and means no harm.

Chapter 21 - TBC

Lightning struck the moonstone and destroyed. Graystripe is terrified. He runs back to Monkeystar, Clawwhistle and Fang and tells them. Monkeystar suggests they go to Barley.

Fang asks if Graystripe is his father. Graystripe tells him no, but that he is proud of him nonetheless. Fang is disappointed.

Barley is shocked that Graystripe is still alive. Barley is very old, and doesn’t move much. Monkeystar and Clawwhistle hunt a mouse for him.

Graystripe asks Barley what he should do, and Barley suggests he sleep on it. Before he sleeps, he hears Fang ask if Barley knew Gremlin.

Chapter 22 - FQ

Back at Smudge’s house, Gremlin and Graystripe have a meet up again.

Gremlin tells Graystripe that BloodClan will attack in two days, when the camp is at its weakest (all the patrols are out and the patrols who have returned are already tired.)

Chapter 27 - FQ

Graystripe notices that Fury has been fatally wounded, and tells her if they leave the Clans alone, Cinderpelt can treat her wound. Fury refuses, but starts dying. Fury then decides she wants to live, and ThunderClan wins.

ThunderClan finally apologizes for not trusting Graystripe. Graystripe talks to Cinderpelt about StarClan’s message, then goes and visits Gremlin. Gremlin is mourning Scraps, and decides that being in a Clan is too violent for her.

The elderly human is taken away in an ambulance, and Petunia wants to stay at the house until she returns. Graystripe convinces her she can still wait, but she has to escape the humans first.

Fang is sad that Daffodil is gone, and Graystripe has no idea how to comfort him.

Graystripe comforts Fang.

The escaped cats decide to part ways, either becoming loners, going off to find human caretakers, or joining WarriorClan (and moving to Barley’s barn.)

Graystripe is ready to retire to the elder’s den again. He realizes that it is possible for Clans to exist without StarClan, like WarriorClan has and is. Fang is upset and doesn’t want him to leave.
