Warriors Song Post

what up here’s a bunch of songs that i connect to warriors in some fuckin way. this took way too long and i’ll add more later because i couldn’t everyone in the tags lol

People in my Head by Oceans on Mars: Goosefeather - If the title wasn’t obvious enough as to why it fits him, the song is about hearing voices and going mad because of it. If that doesn’t fit Goosefeather, what does?

Twisted by MISSIO: Darktail - The whole song is about a bad guy with fucked up thoughts and how his dad was a shit but had a good mom.

Bottom of the Deep Blue Sea by MISSIO: Bluestar - The song is about addiction and depression. And well, Bluestar has depression so there we go already but it uses the specific metaphor of drowining which is strongly connected to Bluestar’s character, so it fits even better!

Everybody Gets High by MISSIO: Sol - It’s his tragic backstory. I mean if this was a human AU this would just be his backstory. Sol is an evil gay, makes sense if he had a homophobic upbringing which led him to drugs and eventually running away. Makes sense to me at least.

Kamikazee by MISSIO: Sol - This is a song about greed, desire, and dark hearts. Who has all three? That’s right, it’s Sol baby! The boy desires all the nice things in life and will not stop at anything to get them.

Best Friends by Grandson: The Kin - So I’m kinda cheating with this one as it isn’t a singular characer but my post, my rules. I feel as if this fits best when Needletail and the other apprentices joined The Kin. Thinking they’re so cool and shit.

Kiss Bang by Grandson: Leafpool/Crowfeather/Nightcloud - Okay again not a singular character but my post, my rules. Basically this song represents Crowfeather’s relationship with the two of them. In short: a fucking mess

Things Change by Grandson: Crowfeather - I’d say this is specifically about Leafpool soon after the badger attack, but could still work for him and Feathertail. Either way, this guy is dumb angst monster lmao

Saint Bernard by Lincoln: Mapleshade - This is a song about one-sided love and how the singer won’t be going to heaven. Also it’s fucking scary so Mapleshade :)

Hellbent by Mystery Skulls: Ashfur - It’s him about Squirrelflight. He does not care that she is in a relationship. All he cares is that the relationship she’s in, isn’t with him. All he wants is her and he truly won’t stop at anything to have her.

The Wolf by SIAMES: Tigerclaw - This is another song that’s about addiction but it has a strong theme about being out of your mind, and well, if you kill people I don’t think your sane. And in a way, Tigerclaw could’ve been addicted to killing. Either way many of this song’s lyrics (and especially the chorus) remind me of him so he gets this masterpiece of a song to himself.

Same Old Forest by Nathan Sharp: Firestar - This fits Firepaw/Rusty specifically but hey I prefer using the most recent names of a character in the title. Anyway though, this song is all about beginnings and wanting to be something (while also being a protaganist) and who could fit better than Firepaw? I mean one of the lyrics is literally: “Because compared to every child you know, you’re something else”. Tell me it isn’t about Firepaw.

Far Away by Nathan Sharp: Spottedleaf - This is a song sung by a female about the character from the previous song on this list, who knows that the character is destined for greatness. Tell me it isn’t sung by Spottedleaf.

Time to Go by Nathan Sharp: Yellowfang - Yellowfang is the grumpy grandma we all know and love. If you know her and then listen to this song and say she didn’t sing it you’re so wrong it’s unbelievable. Did her savior just wake up? Yes. Is she going to push him out and force him to save the world now? Yes.

Drowning by Nathan Sharp: Bluestar - Look at the title. Okay but the song is about losing everything in your life and well, the water metaphors :}

Shell by Nathan Sharp: Bluestar (w/ Firestar) - I think this fits really well for Bluestar and Firestar’s relationship. Bluestar after having been almost murdered by her trusted deputy, Tigerclaw, has lost faith in everything. Fireheart is desperately trying to keep her what remains of her, alive. The chorus speaks for itself, she is a shell, almost entirely withered away. Just, it’s mostly Bluestar but the way the lyrics go it sounds as if someone is speaking to another character about Bluestar, which in this case is probably Tigerclaw and Firestar.

The Evil King by Nathan Sharp: Tigerclaw & Firestar - This is their final battle in song form. At the end it becomes a duet, but for the majority it’s Tigerclaw monologuing about why he should and deserves to win. How Firestar should’ve never come to the forest, as he was meant to rule the forest as his father did before him, unfortuneately this is a YA novel which means that evil can never win.

Unaligned by Nathan Sharp: Ivypool - I imagine this is when she’s starting to realize that the Dark Forest isn’t good. That it’s full of evil cats, but because she’s only started to realize this their abusive teachings are still in her head, thus “You took me in, showed me love when I had nowhere to run” is a lyric. She’s done bad things by joining them, she doesn’t know if she can be good but she knows she doesn’t want to be bad.

Dead Silence by Nathan Sharp: Mothwing - Mothwing can’t get it out of her head that she is the daughter of Tigerclaw. The worst cat in the history of the Clans yet she chose to be a medicine cat, a peaceful cat who does no harm. Her intrusive thoughts won’t stop reminding her of how brutal her family as been. Her father first and then her brother, Hawkfrost, second. Maybe she is destined to be a violent monster, she knows it isn’t true but those evil thoughts say otherwise, and she can’t ignore them any longer.

Epcoh (TLT Remix) by Salvonic: Hollyleaf - After she ran away from the gathering, she had a lot of time to think about everything. She had time to regret her actions and came back to apologize, and hope that she would be accepeted. Just about everything in this song fits her and someone needs to make a map for her with this song because it fits her so fucking well it’s insane.

Terrible Things by Brick + Mortar: Ivypool - She sees no difference between her and her sister, Dovewing, yet her sister is consistently praised more than her and gets more attention. Ivypool then joins the Dark Forest as they claimed to have seen in her, what her Clanmates saw in Dovewing. Instead of dreaming, she fought hard to get the attention and mild praise of a few dead cats. She murdered cats for them and all she got in return was a free t-shirt.

Burn The House Down by AJR: Squirrelflight - Honestly this just gives me some lighthearted Squirrelflight vibes. More so when she was still an apprentice and wanted to be treated with the same amount as respect as a warrior but she tried to gain their respect in ridiculous ways, such as joining Brambleclaw on the journey to the Sundrown place, for instance.

G-G-Ghost by Steven Universe: Fallen Leaves - He’s just a ghost boy who wants someone to notice him!

Noticed by MandoPony: Sol - This theatre gay just wants someone to pay attention to him! And if you do look away, he might have to kill you. M i g h t

Nothing Personal by Night Riots: Darktail - He came to erase the Clans. He will wash away their history, he will make himself the leader of his own group and lead them with an iron fist, his ideology is correct. To the members of his group he is a shining star, a beacon of light and truth.

Contagious by Night Riots: Shadowpaw - This is more speculative but it seems to me that he could definitely start to think that he is bad, wrong. Because of the voice in his head. He is plagued with lies, just by existing he has broken the code. He has to remind himself, it isn’t his fault that he is shunned, looked down upon. But everything is wearing him down. Reminding yourself that it isn’t wrong to exist is tiring.

On the Line by Night Riots: Tawnypelt - Tawnypelt is the type to give all she has for her Clan. Sometimes she gets nervous but she fights through it because her Clan is what matters most.

She Wants Me Dead by CAZZETTE: Crowfeather - This is just every female in Crowfeather’s life at him.

Bet on You by The Man Who: Mistystar - Back when Mistystar was known as Mistyfoot, she crtiticized her leader, Leaopardstar harshly. The latter did let her brother be murdered. Though Leopardstar would’ve risked her own life, among everyone in her clan’s life, had she tried to stop it from happening. Leopardstar made many mistakes throughout her life but Mistyfoot always came back to her, in the end she knew Leopardstar was only doing the best she could.

Choke by I DON’T KNOW HOW BUT THEY FOUND ME: Darktail - Only he would say the most fucked up things while having a genuine smile on his face and making it sound nice. He only cares for himself, and a distorted love for his mother, painting her as this perfect being who was ruined by his father. I have no doubt that he would do all the things in this songs, given he were able to of course.

Crossing a Line by Mike Shinoda: Leafpool & Squirrelflight - This is all about the truth of Holly/Jay/Lion and how they want to tell them, but don’t know how, and just that whole mess is this song.

Play with Fire by Sam Tinnesz: Brokenstar - He is one of the most evil characters in the series, using child soldiers will do that though. He takes pleasure from seeing cats die, especially kits. He enjoys watching others suffer, especially if he can gain something by it. He forced WindClan out of the Clan territories because he wanted the extra hunting land.

Monster (Under my Bed) by Call Me Karizma: Tigerclaw - After his father left, Tigerkit felt alone. His sisters were dead, and his mother was heartbroken. He looked for friends in the shadows, hoping that they’d take form and want to play. It took some time but they took form in the shape of a cat. She was a transparent tortoiseshell, claiming to be of ThunderClan’s past. It didn’t matter to Tigerkit though, she promised to make him the strongest cat in the forest, in all of the Clan’s history even. That’s what mattered to Tigerkit. He wanted to be strong enough to take down any of his enemies and most importantly, his father.

Wolves (You Got Me) by DREAMERS: Fire/Raven - Firepaw is the new apprentice and oh no there’s a cute anxious boy. “Guess we’ll fall in love” they said, and then they did. Firepaw learned how to hunt, and fight. Though it was a bit harder because he was absolutely smitten with Ravenpaw.

Our Song by Vinyl Theatre: Sandstar (w/ Clan) - (Med-Cat!Fire AU) This happens before the battle with BloodClan, when they’re still preparing.

High Hopes by Panic! At The Disco: Hollyleaf - (Wind!Holly AU) - This is her coming home after leaving the tunnels and rescuing Dovewing, and Ivypool. She is welcomed back warmly by her mother, brother, and best friend (Heathertail)

Enter the Wild Chapter 3

( you can either read it under the cut, or here on ao3. it’d be very much appreciated if you interacted with both ! )

(( special thank you for 50 followers !! ))

“Graypaw?” Firepaw asked as the Clan began to disperse. “Who were those two tabbies beside Tigerclaw that spoke out against me joining?” The tabbies in question had moved off to the edge of the clearing, muttering between themselves.

“Huh?” Graypaw followed his gaze and frowned. “Ah… that’s Darkstripe and Longtail. They’re the newest warriors and now they think they’re big shots. They like following Tigerclaw around like little ducklings.”

He would’ve laughed at the mental image, but Graypaw seemed troubled as he watched the dark gray tabby. “So… you don’t like them?”

“More like they don’t like me. Specifically Darkstripe. He’s…” Graypaw sighed and finally looked back to Firepaw. “He’s my brother.”

“Brother?” He looked to Darkstripe, then back to Graypaw. Yes, now that he was looking at them properly, they both had a similar dark gray coat and yellow eyes. “But if he’s your brother, why doesn’t he like you?”

“Apparently, he was really close to our mother. But when I was born… she died, and I guess Darkstripe blamed me for it. He never visited me in the nursery and when I tried to approach him, he would yell at me to leave him alone.”

Firepaw frowned, throwing a glare at Darkstripe’s way even though the tabby wasn’t looking at him. “He’s as dumb as a mouse if he really blames you for that.” This got a snort out of Graypaw, which urged him on. “Honestly, he doesn’t even deserve to have you as a brother. Siblings have to stick together, especially if they’re all the family you have left. That’s why my sister and I are so close.”

“You have a sister?” Graypaw asked.

“Yeah, her name’s Princess.” He bumped his head against Graypaw’s shoulder. “You should meet her sometime. I’m sure you two would get along.”

Graypaw smirked, his liveliness slowly coming back to him. “Speaking of introductions, I should show you around camp! Now that you’re one of us, you have to know where everything is, and who cats are. Follow me!”

As he started walking towards the fallen tree Firepaw had seen earlier, he spotted Bluestar leaping off of the Highrock. “Goldenflower, Dustpaw,” she called out. A pale ginger tabby who looked almost as big as Lionheart and a dark brown tabby who looked similar to Tigerclaw save for his amber eyes quickly joined Bluestar in the middle of the clearing. They spoke a few words before the three of them raced out of camp and into the woods.

“Where are they going?” Firepaw asked, having stopped to watch.

“Well, Bluestar only joins patrols when she’s expecting a fight, so they’re probably going to Sunningrocks. RiverClan had taken it from us last halfmoon, but it looks like they’re going to try and take it back.” Graypaw sniffed. “Dustpaw gets to go because he’s the oldest apprentice and needs the experience in order to become a good warrior. He’ll probably brag about it when he gets back.”

“So, they’re going to go fight?”

Graypaw shook his head. “I don’t think so. Bluestar is mates with RiverClan’s deputy, so she’ll probably negotiate before there’ll be any fighting.”

Firepaw raised a brow. “Mates? But I thought the other Clans were our enemies.”

“More like rivals. We’ll fight over territory disputes, but when one is in need, the others will try to help. At least, if they’re not too stubborn to ask for it. Some cats take mates from other Clans because… well, you know, they fall in love and all that junk.” Firepaw snorted. “Bluestar is one of those cats. Brindleface - your mentor - is another.” Graypaw nodded towards Brindleface chatting with Whitestorm in the middle of the clearing. “Her mate’s from WindClan, though they haven’t had any kits yet, unlike Bluestar and Oakheart. If they have kits, the kits will chose which Clan they want to join after doing half of their apprenticeship in each one. Bluestar and Oakheart’s kits all chose to go to RiverClan, which I think made her sad, but she still sees them at Gatherings.”

“Gatherings?” he asked slowly, mind spinning a bit with all the information.

“Yeah, Gatherings. It’s when all four Clans comes together for a night of peace. They happen every fullmoon.”

Firepaw thought of seeing the moon the night before, and how close it had been to being full. “Oh, so that means one’s going to happen soon, right?”

“Yup, though we probably won’t be allowed to go yet. We’re still too young, and all that.

“Oh…” Disappointment washed over him.

“Don’t worry though,” Graypaw mewed. “Gatherings happen every moon, so we’re bound to go to one eventually. Now, let’s go give you that tour. Follow me!”

Firepaw smiled and nodded before following him to the fallen tree. Sitting under it on the lush grass were four old cats sharing a dead plump rabbit. As they approached, the cats lifted their heads and called out a couple of greetings to them.

“This is the elder’s den,” Graypaw explained to Firepaw before they ducked their heads into the small area. “It’s where warriors who are too old to perform duties live. They’ve done a lot for our Clan, so we have to respect them. Apprentices have to make sure they’re fed before we can get our own food.” As they entered, he nodded to each cat. “Good evening,” Graypaw meowed politely. Firepaw mimicked him.

“Welcome to the Clan, young Firepaw,” a dark brown tabby rasped. Firepaw realized that half of his tail was missing, as well as the fur on the tip. “I’m Sparrowpelt. This is my mate, White-eye.” He nodded to a pale gray molly. One of her yellow eyes was clouded over. “And over here is Smallear” - a gray tom with folded ears nodded at him - “and Dappletail.” The last cat, a dappled tortoiseshell and white molly, purred her greeting. “Patchpelt is usually around here, but he’s stretching his legs off in camp somewhere.”

“It’s very nice to meet you all,” Firepaw mewed, dipping his head respectfully to each elder.

“Have you two eaten yet?” White-eye asked.

They both shook their heads.

“Then why don’t you grab something and eat with us?” Dappletail suggested.

Graypaw hummed, then turned to Firepaw. “You haven’t had a mouse yet, have you?”

“No,” he answered, an excited realization coming to him. I get to eat mice now! No more pellet food!

“Well, that settles it!” Graypaw declared. “The next stop on our tour will be the freshkill pile! Follow me!”

As Graypaw lead the way towards the camp entrance, Firepaw could hear good hearted chuckling from behind them and smiled. “You don’t have to keep telling me to follow you, you know. You’re my official guide, after all.”

“Yeah, but it’s fun to say. Makes me feel like a leader.” He puffed out his chest and Firepaw laughed. They stopped by the camp entrance as Graypaw flicked his tail towards a pile of dead prey. “This is the freshkill pile. When you go out hunting for the Clan, you put what you caught here. Then, once you know the elders and queens have all been fed, you grab something for yourself!”

“Wait,” Firepaw said as Graypaw bent down to grab a juicy mouse. “We don’t know if the queens have been fed, right?”

Graypaw purred at him. “Look at you! Already a good member of the Clan. But don’t worry, I saw Sandpaw going in there with something for them. She was probably the one who gave the elders that rabbit, too. Now, let’s give you a taste of the forest, shall we?”

Excitement nipped at his heels as they went back to the elder’s den. They settled on the lush grass, Firepaw eyeing the mouse the whole time.

Nudging the creature towards him, Graypaw smiled. “Since this will be your first taste of mouse, I’ll give you the honors of having the first bite. Just save me a few mouthfuls, okay?”

His eyes sparkled. “Thank you.” Slowly, he sunk his teeth into its flesh, tearing a large piece off and giving it a good chew. The flavors hit him in a big wave; it was juicy, tangy, and with a hint of what he guessed a forest might taste like.

“Well?” asked Graypaw with a teasing hint to his voice.

“It’s delicious!” Firepaw cried, and the elder’s den erupted into purrs of laughter. But he didn’t care; the bite was everything he had ever dreamed it to be, leaving the dry pellets he had been eating as a pet to look like lumps of dirt.

Graypaw, smiling wide, slid the rest of the mouse over to his side. “Let me have a bite, then you can have the rest.”

“Really? Are you sure?” he asked, even though his mouth was watering for another taste.

“Yeah, I can see how much you want another bite. Let it be a little welcoming gift from me to you,” Graypaw purred, taking his own bite before pawing the last few bites back to him.

Firepaw didn’t know what to say, so he let his gratefulness speak in the happy sounds he made as he tucked into it. While he was licking his lips clean, he thought of something that had confused him earlier when Spottedleaf had convinced ThunderClan to let him stay. “What’s… StarClan?”

Smallear scoffed. “You don’t know what StarClan is?”

The old tom sputtered as White-eye cuffed him across the ears. “Of course he hasn’t. Kittypets don’t learn about StarClan.”

Sparrowpelt smiled kindly at him. “It’s all right, young one,” he meowed. “StarClan is where all cats go when they pass on. They watch over us from Silverpelt, sending our healers visions that help guide us.”

“Silverpelt?” Firepaw echoed.

“It’s all those tiny lights up in the sky at night,” Graypaw explained. “Each little light is a cat that died and joined StarClan.”

“Okay…” he mewed. “I think I get it, but… what’s a healer?”

“That’s what Spottedleaf is,” Dappletail said. “She help heals cats when they’re sick or hurt, and receives the visions StarClan sends to us and interprets them. Apparently, the vision she got when she went to the Moonstone last halfmoon was about you, and how we are supposed to welcome you. Usually a healer doesn’t share their visions with anyone besides the leader, but she knew that was the only way we were going to accept you into the Clan.”

“The Moonstone is a place where the healers of all Clans go each halfmoon to speak with StarClan,” Graypaw said. “It’s the place where their visions are the clearest, I guess. It’s also the place every apprentice visits in the first moon of their apprenticeship to see if they’re meant to be a healer.” He looked at Firepaw with glowing yellow eyes. “So, the next halfmoon, we’ll get to go with Spottedleaf to the Moonstone!”

“Wow,” Firepaw whispered for lack of better words. It was a lot to take in, but he knew that there was even more things he didn’t know about the Clans, so he would have to process quickly in order to remember all of it.

“Ah,” Sparrowpelt sighed. “I remember when I went to the Moonstone. I didn’t have any visions, but the place was so magnificent that I couldn’t care less.”

The other elders nodded in agreement with small smiles on their faces.

“Well,” Graypaw mewed, getting up and stretching his back legs. “Thank you very much for letting us eat with you all, but I’ve got to get Firepaw around to the rest of the camp before nightfall.”

“Welcome again, Firepaw,” Dappletail purred, the others echoing her words. “And thank you for stopping by to give us some company.”

Firepaw dipped his head, murmuring his own thanks, before Graypaw led them back out into the camp. Most of the cats were back to the spots they were at before Bluestar had called the meeting, so the clearing was easier to navigate. Graypaw headed towards the small rock Spottedleaf had come out of. Around it was an array of ferns and behind those Firepaw could spot a small, sparkling pond.

“Inside that rock is Spottedleaf’s den and where she keeps all the herbs,” Graypaw whispered, even though Firepaw saw no reason why he had to. “No one’s allowed to go inside unless they’re sick or injured. I’ve never been inside, but I bet it’s really cool looking. Spottedleaf’s probably in there right now, preparing things just in case Bluestar’s patrol actually does get into a fight.”

Firepaw hummed. He didn’t see the appeal in the shadowy crevice, but seeing how much wonder Graypaw had for the place, he kept his thoughts to himself.

They continued on. “Of course, you’ve seen the Highrock. It’s used for Clan meetings and ceremonies, like making a kit an apprentice. Bluestar’s den is in the crack over there.” Graypaw pointed to said crack and the lichen covering the opening. “No one’s allowed to go in there except Bluestar and Lionheart.”

Next was a thick bush that sat almost directly across from the camp entrance. “The warrior’s den is down there under the bush. It looks small from the outside, but I’ve heard it’s actually very spacious. But, I wouldn’t know because - ”

“Let me guess,” Firepaw said dryly, “because we’re not allowed inside?”

Graypaw laughed. “Yup, though the rules on going into the warrior’s den aren’t as strict as the healer or leader’s den. I’ve heard that if you ask a nice warrior very politely, they’ll let you go down and have a look around.”

As they chatted, a cat poked their head out to look at them. “Oh, it’s the new apprentice,” the molly said, fully exiting the warrior’s den. Her coat was a dark and dappled tortoiseshell color with a bushy ginger tail. “Having a little tour of the camp, are we?”

“Redtail,” Graypaw greeted, dipping his head. “Yeah, I was just showing Firepaw around.” He shuffled closer to Firepaw, eyes sparkling. “This is Redtail. He’s Spottedleaf’s littermate.”

Realization dawned on him, leaving Firepaw gaping - probably rudely - at Redtail, but the warrior didn’t seem to mind. In fact, he gave a little chuckle and bent down to briefly touch his nose to Firepaw’s forehead. “If you need any advice, I’ll be happy to help.”

Firepaw nodded eagerly, a happy glow leaving him a bit dizzy. There’s another cat like me here! he thought. Princess won’t believe it. I’ll have Smudge eat his words when I go back to visit!

Redtail smiled before he turned to murmur something in the den. He moved out of the way as a molly exited behind him, following the path his bush red tail made for her. This molly had a very pale silver-gray coat, and her eyes were an unusual color of blue. “This is my sister, Willowpelt,” he said.

Willowpelt’s eyes glanced in his general direction, and she smiled. “You’re Firepaw, correct?”

“Yes...” he answered, fixated on her slightly clouded eyes.

“Welcome to ThunderClan then.” She gave him a nod before Redtail walked past them to go out into the clearing, his tail guiding Willowpelt along with him.

As Firepaw watched them go, Graypaw explained, “Willowpelt’s eyesight isn’t that good. Apparently, she can only see very blurry shapes, but that didn’t stop her from becoming a warrior. She can hunt and fight like the rest of us, but she just needs a little bit of guiding from someone so she doesn’t trip on anything.” He cleared his throat and raised his voice. “Now, to our next stop!”

Firepaw looked ahead at the thick bramble bush to the warrior’s den’s left. “That’s the nursery, isn’t it?”

“That’s the nursery, where kits are raise - ” Graypaw sputtered to a stop as he finally registered what Firepaw had said. “Wait, how did you know that?”

“Whitestorm pointed it out to me when we arrived.”

Graypaw pouted a bit, but pushed on with the tour. “Well, until a couple of days ago, I was living in there, so I know it pretty well.” Graypaw bounded up to the entrance of the bush that was only big enough for one full grown cat to squeeze through. “But, now that I’m not a kit anymore, I have to get permission from a caretaker to go in. Especially since Frostfur just had her kits.”

As they walked up to the thick brambles, the gray tabby molly with a red tail who Firepaw recognized from when he first entered the camp came out and stretched.

“Rosetail!” Graypaw greeted, bumping his head on her shoulder.

The molly purred, licking him on his forehead. “Graypaw, what are you doing back over here? You’re not trying to get back in here, are you?” she teased.

“No, no. I’m just giving Firepaw here a tour of the camp.”

Firepaw gave a small dip of his head towards her. “Nice to meet you,” he mewed.

She smiled at him. “Pleasure’s mine.”

“After my mother died, Rosetail raised me, so she’s basically like my mom,” Graypaw said to Firepaw, though there was a bit of hesitance when he called her his mom. But before Firepaw could wonder why that was, Graypaw eagerly turned back to Rosetail. “We were wondering if we could go in and see Frostfur’s new litter.”

Rosetail’s smile turned apologetic. “Sorry, but Frostfur and her kits are sleeping right now.” Graypaw deflated. “But I could see if Swiftkit wants to meet the new addition to the Clan.”

Firepaw expected Graypaw to perk up at that, but instead he gave a half frown. “Well, I guess so.”

Rosetail rolled her eyes and whispered to Firepaw, “Graypaw and Swiftkit didn’t get along that well when they were in the nursery together. Swiftkit’s a bit shy, so he never wanted to play with Graypaw. Maybe you can imagine Graypaw when someone denies him something…”

An image popped into his head of Graypaw moping across camp and he snorted.

“Hey!” Graypaw protested. “I can hear you, you know!”

“Anyway, I’ll go get Swiftkit.” Rosetail turned around and re-entered the nursery, her red tail fluttering behind her.

“Well,” Graypaw meowed as they waited, “since we won’t get to see Frostfur’s litter, I’ll just give you some details about them. Apparently there are four of them, and Sandpaw says they’re all really cute. She’s Frostfur’s daughter from her first litter, so she got to come in and see them right after they were born. Their father is Lionheart, which means they’ll be given good care since they’re the deputy’s kits. It’s why Sandpaw has such a superiority complex.”

“You don’t like Sandpaw?” Firepaw was slowly noting the list of dislikable cats was growing.

“No, her and Dustpaw are always bragging about being the kits of powerful cats. Dustpaw’s father is Tigerclaw and his mother is Goldenflower, who’s the sister to Lionheart.” Graypaw glanced around the clearing before whispering, “he probably got his bad attitude from Tigerclaw.”

Firepaw remembered Tigerclaw’s disapproval of him; if Dustpaw’s attitude was similar, then he wasn’t sure he wanted to meet him.

Before they could say anything else, the entrance to the nursery rustled. A moment later, Rosetail exited with a small black and white tom around two moons old. “When I mentioned the new apprentice was here to see him, he practically raced out of his nest,” Rosetail purred, looking down at the little kit, who was peeking out from behind her hind leg.

Taking a step forward, Firepaw crouched and smiled at the kit. “Hello there,” he said softly. “I’m Firepaw. It’s nice to meet you.”

Slowly, Swiftkit took some steps forward until he was no longer hiding behind Rosetail. “Are you really a kittypet?” he asked in the naive way kits do.

“Not anymore,” Graypaw said. As he spoke this, Swiftkit startled and ducked back behind Rosetail. Graypaw huffed, throwing a frustrated look to Firepaw, who had to hide his laughter; he looked exactly how Firepaw pictured him to be when grumpy.

“I used to live with the… Twolegs,” Firepaw mewed to Swiftkit, stumbling a bit over the unfamiliar Clan term for housefolk. “But when I heard about Clan life, there was no way I’d pass it up, so when Bluestar asked if I wanted to come live here, I said ‘yes’.”

Swiftkit was staring at him with awe in his wide amber eyes, and it made him chuckle faintly.

A small commotion behind them had Firepaw turn around in time to see Bluestar’s patrol returning. After a quick look over and spotting no injuries, he knew there hadn’t been a fight. Other cats had noticed their arrival as well and were coming back into the clearing to hear the report.

“Swiftkit’s getting a bit nervous,” Rosetail murmured, drawing Firepaw’s attention back to the kit. Indeed, Swiftkit was back to fully hiding behind Rosetail, body shaking. “I’m going to bring him inside so he can settle down. Thanks for stopping by.” They exchanged soft goodbyes as she ushered Swiftkit back into the safety of the nursery.

“Let’s go see if we got Sunningrocks back,” Graypaw said, trotting over to the middle of the clearing. Firepaw padded alongside him, watching as Bluestar made her way through the gathering crowd and up onto the Highrock.

“Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey gather underneath the Highrock for a Clan meeting!” she called. As the Clan regrouped, Firepaw spotted Tigerclaw sitting near the warrior’s den with Darkstripe and Longtail by his side. They each looked up at Bluestar with narrowed eyes.

“Has Sunningrocks been returned to its rightful owner?” Whitestorm loudly asked as everyone settled down.

Bluestar scanned the audience before a wide smile split her muzzle. “Yes, Sunningrocks is ours once more.”

The Clan burst into joyous noise, and even though Firepaw didn’t know what or where Sunningrocks was, he was caught up in the yowls of victory and felt the happiness all the same.

“When we approached Sunningrocks, there was a RiverClan patrol consisting of Oakheart, Skyheart, and Mistyfoot. They were there to renew the border.” Several cats expressed their distaste for that by muttering small insults. “There was, however, no fight. We calmly debated with the patrol until it was established that ThunderClan needed it more due to having more mouths to feed. The RiverClan patrol left, and we re-established the border as it was a moon ago.”

More cries of victory sounded from the crowd, even as Bluestar called an end to the meeting. Firepaw was tempted to join them when he caught sight of Tigerclaw again. The senior warrior didn’t look thrilled or even happy about the outcome like everyone was. Instead, a faint scowl painted his face, and he muttered something to Darkstripe and Longtail that had them nodding with their own frowns. They then retreated into the warrior’s den.

Firepaw’s attention came back when Graypaw leaned into him to whisper, “Oakheart is Bluestar’s mate and Mistyfoot is one of their kits, so it’s no wonder that there wasn’t any fight.” Before Firepaw could think of a response to that, Graypw was already standing up and stretching. “Well, it’s getting pretty late,” he said, nodding towards the darkening sky. The moon shined brightly down at them. “Training starts at sunrise, so we’ll have to go to sleep soon. Which brings us to the last stop in our tour: the apprentice’s den!”

Excitement flowed back into him as Graypaw walked towards a clump of ferns next to a tree stump. He was finally going to see where he was going to be sleeping for the next several moons! “How many other apprentices are there?” he asked as he eyed the ferns.

“Now there’s five of us; you, me, Dustpaw, Sandpaw, and Ravenpaw. Sandpaw and Ravenpaw should already be in here.”

They pushed through the thick ferns until it opened up into a sleeping area that was lined with soft moss. Firepaw could tell where the nests were for the four apprentices by the way the moss was gathered up. And like Graypaw predicted, two cats were already inside, preparing to go to sleep. One of them was the small black tom that had been chatting with Graypaw when Firepaw arrived, and the other was a pale golden tabby who looked a lot like Lionheart.

The tabby lifted her head as they came in and sniffed rudely at Firepaw. “So, here’s the new apprentice, huh?” she muttered. Her openly rude tone threw Firepaw for a loop and had him at a loss for words. “Great, now the den’s gonna smell like kittypet and Twolegs.”

“Don’t mind Sandpaw,” Graypaw told him, walking over to the black tom. “She likes to put cats down for fun. It’s best to ignore her.” As she spat in his direction, he nudged the small tom in greeting. “Hey, Ravenpaw. This is Firepaw.” He looked to Firepaw. “This here is Ravenpaw. He’s the only other good apprentice to hang around.”

Ravenpaw gave him a small smile. “Hello.”

“Hey,” he mewed back. Glancing around, he asked, “so, where do I sleep?”

“Not near me I hope!” Sandpaw called, but he heeded Graypaw’s advice and ignored her.

Graypaw settled himself into a nest by Ravenpaw. “Basically anywhere. There’s some space over here by me if you want. Just grab some moss and come on over.”

Nodding, he gathered up some soft moss that had no one’s scent on it and brought it over to Graypaw, padding it down with his paw. As he was making his nest, the ferns shook with the appearance of another cat. Firepaw recognized him as Dustpaw, the apprentice who went on Bluestar’s patrol.

When Dustpaw spotted him, he wrinkled his nose. “Does the kittypet really have to sleep with the rest of us? He’s stinking up the den.”

“That’s what I said,” Sandpaw growled.

Graypaw scowled at the both of them. “Why don’t you two stop acting like spoiled kits and let the rest of us sleep, okay?”

Ravenpaw hid his snort in his paws, and Firepaw smiled to himself as the older apprentices sputtered. They eventually grumbled to themselves in their own nests on the opposite side of the den, tails lashing, but otherwise quiet.

Firepaw yawned as he completed his nest. Graypaw and Ravenpaw laid their heads down, and soon the den was filled with the soft sounds of sleep. Firepaw got himself comfortable, but didn’t fall asleep right away. Instead, he lay in the glow of being a part of something so grand.

After a while, he let his consciousness slip away, side pressed against Graypaw’s thick fur, and had a peaceful, dreamless sleep.

blaines warrior cats human au masterpost

ok ok so i said i would do this and i will but i need everyone to know beforehand:

ok now that that disclaimer is out of the way - this is focusing on my warrior cats human au, which i’ve been building for literal years and making content for. this human au is looong and detailed and i wanna let ppl know beforehand that this has supernatural elements bc i can and bc it’s hard if it doesnt. anyhows, this will be going by time period and i’ll split it up by arcs/super editions, ok??

also note that the time periods are not set in stone, and some characters ages will be shifted around [not too much, just slightly.]

OKAY LETS DO IT!!

dawn of the clans era [maybe around the 1600s (yes u read that correctly)]

founders of the clans are born; the events of dotc are relatively the same, occupations/history of the founders aren’t known yet, but all were influential to their respective living areas

clear sky/skystar makes a deal with a demon to bring back his lover [storm]; this backfires, demon ends up killing clear sky, clear sky comes back as weird demon/human hybrid [this is important i promise]

he and starflower’s kits are demon-human hybrids; clear sky is known as the first demon/supernatural element of this era

everything else is as follows in the arc, thunder is human and unaffected by demonic powers like his half-siblings

the “great battle” or the first battle, whichever, is notable for being rumored as a “not all human fight” aka a bunch of ppl from the 1600′s fighting off demons?? oh yeah yeah

thunder was a demon hunter, know that

cloudstar’s journey/skyclan being kicked out arc [around early 1900′s]

[tw for cults here]

cloudstar is related to clear sky/skystar; he has a vague “sixth sense” due to having demonic heritage [which he wouldnt know about]

he’s sorta treated as the “town weirdo” in a way bc he can sense/see things others cant - noted as being able to see ghosts/things of that nature, although many dont believe him

the concept of skyclan takes place as a sort of cult, almost; cloudstar’s ability to see/sense ghosts was noted by some ppl, and skyclan sorta took form as an organization who believed him?

it was more like a small organization rallied around his beliefs; cloudstar is sorta of an unintentional leader here

the whole idea is that he’s one of the first ppl since the 1600′s in this area who actually notices that theres somethin up w/ this small town, something supernatural

cloudstar leaves one night, no word, no note, just ups and leaves; birdflight and their children never really know what happen to him

[this is important, i promise] other “members” of cloudstar’s cult/organization slowly begin to disappear as well, symbolizing skyclan’s dwindling numbers

no one knows what to make of it, it’s a noted odd occurrence/tragedy by others

birdflight’s children [gorseclaw, spottedpelt] dont have as strong of paranormal sensitivity/sixth sense; it’s a gene skipping thing, more on this later

goosefeather’s curse [around late 1930s-1940s]

not much to say here other than goosefeather is one of the only ppl outside of the skyclan line who has any sort of paranormal thing/sixth sense

unlike the clear sky line, however, goosefeather’s isnt brought on by demonic interference; it’s an isolated incident/maybe a family gene completely separate

his is extremely strong, however, and much like cloudstar he’s sorta treated as a weirdo in the town

he’s a mixture of being haunted by what he sees/accepting it; moonflower notes throughout her childhood that goosefeather would talk/play with ghosts, etc etc

goosefeather can sense demonic shit tho in a second; he’s more of a spiritual doctor in a human au rather than a medical one; his ‘job’ is really talking to ghosts and connecting them to their living family members [he’s basically the ghost whisperer]

mapleshade’s vengeance era [around 1950′s]

oakstar [pinestar’s father, tigerstar’s grandfather] has his first kids [birchface, frecklewish]

meets sweetbriar [pinestar’s mother] when his children are in their preteens; eventually divorces wife

accomplished, a-list actor, relatively well known; sweetbriar is a sweet british lady whose also getting her hands into acting

mapleshade is born from an undisclosed time period; just sorta shows up one day? she’s just sorta there and everyone is a little wary of her, but she does her thing and isnt a bother

her and appledusk have a relationship, as u can guess; it’s not forbidden, but he’s very obviously cheating/not a good dude

mapleshade’s kids [adopted here] do die like in canon; she’s still dies in an undisclosed way during this time period

she never had to lie about having a relationship with oakstar’s kid, birchface [who dies at this point], but oakstar is still very notable in maple’s life here...for undisclosed reasons ho ho

pinestar is born sometime after, they marry not long after he’s born

pinestar starts to show signs of having that ‘sixth sense’ ho ho

tallstar’s revenge era [around 1940s-1970s]

tallstar is born to sandgorse and palebird; sandgorse is a miner struggling after the great depressions effects, dies in cave in, palebird is left as a single mother to tallstar

tallstar takes up acting in order to help support his mother; his story is relatively normal so far

talltail meets sweetbriar, a kind british actor a few years his senior who knows he’s gay/helps him

he’s a closeted gay actor in this time; he meets jake at a gay bar, they have a relationship, fall in love, all that good stuff

tallstar and jake eventually break up on good terms bc tallstar��s busy at work and jake wants to travel, to move across the country, etc;; they’er wonderful friends and still love each other, and promise that maybe one day they can meet again and be together

crookedstar’s promise era [around 1950s-1960s]

crookedstar is born, gets into his accident, all that good stuff

he’s born only a few years after mapleshade died; no one talks about her and she’s treated as a ghost story almost

however, as you can guess, lil crookedkit does end up meeting her....although she’s obviously a ghost [or so she says at first]

the story is the same; crookedpaw is lonely, he talks with mapleshade and considers her to be his only friend, and he never questions anything about her other than if she’s actually a ghost or not

he still makes that promise of his, but after he does so, the bad things/deaths in his life occur

strange shit starts happening, he starts actively researchin’ mapleshade to figure out WHAT actually happened those years prior....and sorta figures out that maaayyybe shes not the friendly spirit he thought she was

confronts mapleshade after willowbreeze’s death, asks her WHAT she is, she reveals that nah dude she’s not a ghost, shes a demon

soooo crookedstar made a deal w/ a demon on accident, spends the rest of his life protecting himself against her/trying to like EDUCATE others on this, and is the first outside of the skyclan family line to realize that this little town they all live in sorta has some supernatural shit in it and isnt so small and peaceful

bluestar’s prophecy era [1950s-1960s]

[tw for infant death]

like crookedstar, her life is sorta the same?? not much needs to change here at all

her parents are in a loveless marriage, stormtail sorta disappears a lot and moonflower wishes to divorce, bluestar and snowfur are just sorta Hanging Around trying to make the best of it

the events in her life still happen; moonflower still dies, but stormtail allows sunfall/sunstar to take custody of the twins due to stormtail’s “grief” [he’s just not a fatherly dude thats the real reason]

bluestars life is basically the same regardless; she does lose people the same, the poor girl basically has a hard life ://

she does fall in love w/ oakheart, although it’s not forbidden; but bluefur wants a political career, she doesnt feel a strong maternal attachment and her post partum depression after losing mosskit [mosskit was probably stillborn here, or died from SIDS :(((], she gave oakheart full custody of them

it was a closed set of circumstances; bluefur said she didnt want contact, and oakheart just accepted that she probably just couldnt do it and wanted them to have a better life

bluestar’s later life [when firepaw comes around] becomes notable, though, because that’s when “the gene” or goosefeather’s circumstance starts to show up in bluestar

she’s a late bloomer and later in life becomes sensitive towards the sixth sense ho ho ho

pinestar’s choice era [1950s-1970s]

[sorry for the shift, but i promise theres a reason why this comes after]

so pinestar is born to oakstar and sweetbriar, two high-profile, A list actors; he’s born into fame, basically

nothing really notable happens in his life at first, aside from the fact that, as you can guess, he starts to show signs of that sixth sense that cloudstar had

like cloudstar, he’s sorta terrified of it; he chooses not to speak about it, but at the point of pinestar’s mid to late thirties his physical condition seems to get a little weaker from stress

now here’s where things get weird; so yeah, before i get into details, tigerstar is half demon. he’s not pinestar’s biological son through blood, lets just. lets just get that outta the way

you still w/ me?? ok so yes, he does look like pinestar [there’s demon gene technology there somewhere] but the idea is that leopardfoot did have a thing w/ one of the demons ‘following’ pinestar

you cant blame her; leopardfoot and pinestar were together, but their two daughters died in infancy and leopardfoot wanted a child; so her n this demon had a little thingy do [pinestar knew about it, he didnt really care bc he wanted leopardfoot to have a child]

of course, after tiger’s born tho, he’s half-demon. a cambion [that’s the proper term], and pinestar starts to crumble after realizing the repercussions of what he allowed to happen; leopardfoot defends tigerkit fiercely, but this is why pinestar leaves eventually - he genuinely is like “oh damn i made. i really made a mistake.”

and THAT weirdness is why that had to come last nkgfd

FINALLY the first arc era [1980s-1990s]:

still w/ me??? ok now:

so firepaw sorta comes here into this town; i imagine maybe his mother passed away, and he and princess went through foster care. firepaw gets a new foster mom in this town aaaanndd....ITS BLUESTAR [the shift between her not wanting kids/wanting kids is a little important to the whole prophecy plot]

basically, everything is sorta the same??? firepaw sorta is considered kinda runty at first, meets graystripe and ravenpaw, goes to school with them, jams out, all that

except instead of the whole “figuring out a murder” plot, it’s “figuring out a murder + figuring out the supernatural shit going on in this place”

fireheart sorta just feels like the only one who notices the weird shit going on here; graystripe and ravenpaw are just sorta here and they’re used to it, but fireheart swears this stuff is not normal, he knows normal, this aint normal

tigerclaw having killed redtail sorta goes onto the backburner; fireheart doesn’t have as personal of a relationship w/ him, but he does figure out that tigerclaw’s an ass and gets him ARRESTED

the deaths/births here are all the same btw

however, tigerclaw gets out of prison and starts acting....sorta more strange than usual, unbeknownst to fireheart, the sixth sense gene/the fact that tigerclaw is half-not human catches up to him and he starts to realize, in his own words, that he’s a LOT different and more powerful than just any ‘ole human

so basically, this is fireheart the human verses tigerclaw the shitty half-demon and hell yeah fireheart brings holy water everywhere with him [tigerclaw’s unaffected by that tho]

everything is the same as mentioned; however, “the pack” is actually a pack of werewolves??? u heard me. werewolves, not dogs

brightheart would have a minor form of lycanthropism , im sorry to reference it but imagine bill weasley from harry potter [im sorry thats the only way to really convey it i apologize]; she has some sort of werewolf instinct and gets aggressive during the full moon, but she’s not a full werewolf

so tigerstar dies, yada yada, and firestar THINKS that everything is done, exceeeppttt

yeah. the dark forest? that’s a buncha demons. and now that tigerstar is dead, his human half sorta just “sheds away” and now he’s a full fledged demon

FOR NOW THAT’S IT bc goddamn this is so long, i think u guys can kinda tell what will come next in the story; tigerstar is weak and needs human help to get stronger; people make deals w/ demons way too much; this little town they all live in is haunted and has werewolves and demons and vampires and ghosts and yeah

IF U HAVE ANY QUESTIONS feel free to ask, if anyone thinks this is nifty i’m honestly gonna be shocked

#GOD THIS GOT SO LONG FNDKSMDSLFSD #i just stopped after the first series bc this is too much of a ramble already and u can kinda guess where everything is going #barking #ok 2 rb /#this is so Blaine honestly #wc human au
