(Lichenbark, I wasn't done writing about that my evil StarClan story so here is the rest.)

1) Wiped out HollowClan because they were jealous that HollowClan had more prey than the rest of the Clans, specifically, the founding Clan leaders. The wiped out HollowClan's entire bloodline and forced Swanstar's spirit to watch the Clans thrive.

2) Killed the founder of StarClan, Star. StarClan was never evil back then until a former medicine cat named Everest Night, who's been causing wars, death's, schemes, and murders was sent to the Dark Forest but she manipulated the four founder Clan leaders, Midnightstar, Meadowstar Swampstar, and Horizonstar into thinking that Star was evil. They believed her and eventually killed Star, having Everest Night take her place. StarClan became a dark place after that.

3) Tried assassinating Opalstar because she was the reincarnation of Star and StarClan knew that Opalpaw could have everyone turn against them so they tried zapping her with lightning but luckily, Swanstar's ghost was there to help her.

4) Let Pondfoot, who was an abusive mother who drowned her own kits in, but sent her kits, Echokit, Frondkit, Frogkit, and Bristlekit to the Dark Forest because Pondfoot didn't want to take care of them. Echokit, Frondkit, Frogkit, and Bristlekit later grew up in the Dark Forest and renamed themselves Echofur, Frondmist, Frognose, and Bristlethorn who later helped Opalstar make a new StarClan while the old StarClan became the new Dark Forest.

5) Helped Tatteredstar kill his own mate, Cypressfur, so he could give their kits to his deputy, Cherrystorm, because he fell in love with Cherrystorm but since Cherrystorm couldn't have kits (she was somehow infertile). StarClan later sent Cypressfur to the Dark Forest. When Cypressfur's two daughters, Goosewing and Ospreycry found out, they were livid and left the Clan but Tatteredstar and Cherrystorm caught up and killed them. Goosewing and Ospreyfur was later sent to the Dark Forest while Tatteredstar and Cherrystorm thrived.

During Opalstar's reign, she let the cats of the Dark Forest be the new StarClan while the old one became the new Dark Forest.

Alright then, shall we begin with BrambleSquirrel's other kits, Alderheart and Sparkpelt?

Back to our regularly scheduled programming. 

Alderheart does have a traditional name, but it doesn’t work on him. Alder- is reserved for brown tabbies, and while he is compassionate, he’s more nervous and shy than anything, and severely doubts himself, which is a no-no for -heart cats. It’s said on the Wiki that he has a strong relationship with StarClan, but from what I’m reading there’s no indication of that in the actual story. I would actually just make him a -pelt or a -fur instead of a -heart. 

For his prefix, I’d like to go with Cypress- (another tree) or Stoat- (named similar to his mother). We could alternately just change his color into brown like his father, ignoring cat color genetics, and leave him as an Alder-. That would leave us with Cypressfur, Stoatpelt or Alderpelt.

His sister should have been given a skill suffix, honestly. Sparkpelt is a skilled hunter and fighter, which puts her squarely in -fang territory. It irks me, however, that her closest traditional name would be Fire-, because, as some of you know, I utterly despise legacy naming. Although Firefang does sound pretty fuckin’ rad, honestly, so... Maybe I can make an exception. 

Not being inclined to just leave it there, though, here’s some alternate prefixes: Red-, Burnet- and Rose-. Burnet- and Rose- both are plants, keeping with her litter’s theme, and Red- just sounds good with -fang. So, there’s three names: Redfang, Burnetfang or Rosefang. You tell me which one is better sounding!

I dunno why this batch took me so long and wore me out so much.

Adding to the hypothetical idea and name changes for all of them. Ironically the one not named after plants is the one who would end up leaving the Clan that picks her.

Though I imagine Thistlepaw and Sheeppaw both joined SkyClan at first. Burnetpaw takes the anti-SkyClan route she takes in canon, while Cypressfur stays in ShadowClan to help them not only recover, but also he’s the sole Med Cat in the Clan.

Thislepaw eventually returns to RiverClan however. She becomes the Medicine Cat Assistant (similar to Briarlight and Brightheart in canon).

Actually for my Snowstar AU I might do that- have Alder, Spark, Violet and Twig all in one litter.

With them being adopted, and someone outside of Thunder finding them as well they become something the Clans fight over. Especially since they might be attached to a prophecy.

Why should ThunderClan be the focus, and have every prophecy cat once more?

Idk if I’d separate them so young however, more like right as apprenticeship they have to go to whichever Clan.

Rn I’m thinking:

Spark - Thunder

Alder - Shadow

Violet - Wind

Twig - River

Aaaand maybe make their dad, Darktail. Just to add to the drama of it all. The mother is still a SkyClan cat. Maybe she can be Firefern or Stormheart to give Leafstar some descendants.

I imagine Violet is the only one to leave the Clan that picked her, moving to SkyClan when they settle in the Lake territories.

Alder was chosen for Shadow because he was showing signs of being a Medicine Cat and Littlecloud was close to dying. Spark stayed in Thunder due to her resemblance to Firestar. Violet was picked by Wind mostly due to her resemblance to Dark (Onestar wanted to try to redeem himself by taking care of a kit that looked like his son). Aaaand Twig got saddled with River, but they probably did find her nature amusing which does help.

Nightmare Arc Chapter 2

Marigoldheart gathered all the cats willing to help her in the training hollow just outside her camp. She was genuinely surprised at the number of cats who turned up, partially expecting most of the camp to be too spooked by the thought of strange cats wandering the territory to want to help her set up. But, here they were, overcrowding the clearing so much that they had begun to perch in trees.

Once she’d gotten a count of just how many cats were there, Marigoldheart began splitting them up into three groups.

“Briarnose, you’ll take a group to the neighborhood and see what spare decorations you can find there. I’m not keen on stealing from the humans, but if it seems like something they won’t miss, I’m sure it won’t be too much of an issue.”

“Oh, don’t worry, Marigoldheart,” Appleflower said, “we’ll return them at the end of the season.”

“Thank you.” Marigoldheart let out a sigh of relief. “Briarnose, pick some cats to take with you. Goldenclaw, Sparrowheart, you two will lead a group to the city. If you can find some of those small pumpkins, get them. Not too many, I don’t want trouble, but enough to go around the clearing. Take whoever you need with you.

“The rest of you, whoever isn’t going with Briarnose or Goldenclaw and Sparrowheart, come with me and we’ll start setting up the field. Larkcloud, Blueflower, Flystorm, Wysteriaflower, I’ll leave it up to you four and Ravenstorm to add any other touches you think would look nice. Come on!”

With a wave of her tail, she started off toward the field under Leader’s Hill. While it continued to remain unnamed throughout the year--they hadn’t yet come up with a fitting name--this year it would be called the Graveyard. Marigoldheart had seen humans set up tall, foam stones in their front years, lined with inscriptions she could never make sense of. She sent four groups off to the stream and surrounding forests to find tall, flat stones they could use as headstones.

The city cats didn’t fully understand, even when Kestrelstorm explained to them as best she could without losing her temper. But they complied nonetheless, and so began the task of hauling the stones out of the forest or up from the river bank and into the field.

It wasn’t as difficult as Marigoldheart might have imagined, with all the enthusiasm fueling them. Adderclaw, Molestorm, Fawncloud, and Alderwhisker began digging holes for the stones that couldn’t stand on their own.

“Perfect!” Marigoldheart bounced from stone to stone as the cats worked to get them in place. “Wonderful, everyone!” She spotted Cypressfur directing a small group, along with Redstream and Sycamoreheart. Riverkit and Windkit played nearby, setting up a small graveyard of their own with stones more manageable for their size. “Cypressfur!”

The dark ginger tom gave one last quick instruction before turning his attention to Marigoldheart. “Yes, Marigoldheart, my dear, what can I do for you?”

“Could you manage this for a few moments?” she asked. “I’d like to check on the clearing. I’m expecting Wysteriaflower and Flystorm to start arguing over colors shortly.”

Cypressfur snorted. “Oh, them! They can never come to a compromise, can they? Hmpf!” He shook his head. “Of course, Marigoldheart. I’ll take care of everything here. You go and watch them.”

She thanked him and bounded off, hearing him barking orders to a separate group attempting to lodge a flat boulder into the dirt. Marigoldheart first saw Honeycloud sitting with Tigerleap and Plumheart at the edge of the Meeting Hollow, watching as Ravenstorm and Dawnrose’s aunts and Blueflower began lighting small floating flames to drift into various positions around the hollow.

Tigerleap leaned back on his haunches and swatted lightly at a deep green flame. It didn’t hurt when he tapped it with his paw, and so he tapped it twice more before Ravenstorm hissed at him.

With a spit, Tigerleap plopped down, sticking his tongue out at the tall molly as she turned away to create another flame. “Touchy,” he said, wrinkling his nose. “I wasthn’t gonna break it.”

Honeycloud, sitting beside him, looked up at the flames with calm curiosity, and tilted his head. “I don’t believe they can break, Tigerleap,” he said. He tentatively stretched up a paw and touched the base of the flame with one toe. “Hmm, no. Not breakable, I think.”

“Not breakable,” Ravenstorm hissed, “but not for touching, either. Those are delicate and I’d rather none of you knocked them into the grass and set our home alight!”

Oh! Marigoldheart blinked in surprise, sidestepping to avoid a small green flame that floated by her. She went to the trio first, none of which were cowed my Ravenstorm’s reprimand. Tigerleap was muttering something under his breath while Honeycloud sat quietly, admiring the little flames as more climbed into the sky above the clearing. “Hello, there.”

Tigerleap’s muttering stopped; Honeycloud turned to her. “Hello, Marigold. Are you enjoying the decorating so far?”

“Oh, yes,” Marigoldheart said, and looked over the flames floating in the Meeting Hollow. “They’re lovely, aren’t they?” She saw Ravenstorm narrow her eyes at the descriptor--not one she might use for her own work, but it would do.

“Yes indeed,” Honeycloud agreed. He hummed and sat back on his haunches. “We celebrated Halloween before, didn’t we, Tigger?”

The orange tabby stood up and bounced on his hindpaws. “Every year!” he said, a little too loudly.

“Quiet!” Ravenstorm hissed from across the hollow. “I can’t concentrate with all your rambling.”

“Oh, don’t be so hard on them, Ravenstorm.” Blueflower sent another silvery flame into the air. “It’s their first Halloween with us, after all.”

Ravenstorm huffed. “It’s a first for many of us. And with or without Marigoldheart’s order, I will send you to another part of this forest if I hear that nonsensical blabber of yours one more time.”

Marigoldheart expected Blueflower to come back with some half-humorous remarks but instead the fluffy blue molly shrugged with a smile and sent a few more flames into the air.

Tigerleap snorted. “Who put flies in her breakfast?” It earned him a glare from Ravenstorm, whose eyes glowed dangerously. The trio shifted uncomfortably on their paws.

With that, Marigoldheart ushered them away. “Why don’t you two get together with your friends and come up with some games for Halloween night?”

“Yes,” Honeycloud said, standing. “Let’s do that. I think Palestorm had something in mind. Tigerleap.” He turned and gave Tigerleap a gentle nudge before the orange tabby turned and followed him out of the hollow.

Marigoldheart breathed a sigh of relief; while Ravenstorm wasn’t like yo harm anyone, she didn’t want to push the molly too far. She cautiously approached Ravenstorm as another flame was sent floating above her head.

“Thank you, Marigoldheart,” Ravenstorm said. She watched the flame rise, then addressed Marigoldheart again with an even stare. “Would you mind telling me where my deputy ran off to?”

Marigoldheart tilted her head in the general direction of the houses. “He’s gone with Briarnose and some others to find decorations for the Meeting Hollow.”

“Has he now?” Ravenstorm hummed, with a slight nod. “Well, I suppose it’s good for him to get out with others. Do make sure Briarnose gets him home to me in one piece.”

“I will.”

Ravenstorm grunted and said no more. Marigoldheart dipped her head and left the molly in peace with a warning glance at Dawnrose’s aunts, working on the other side of the clearing, to leave Ravenstorm in peace.
