My AU/Warriors rewrite ☺️ Beware! There be spoilers ahead!

TPB

-everything stays the same except:

- Halftail and Rosetail are Sandstorm's parents

- Poppydawn and Patchpelt are the parents of Longtail, Dustpelt, and Ravenpaw

- Longtail is made deputy after Whitestorm instead of Graystripe 

- Barley dies in the battle with BloodClan and Ravenpaw returns to ThunderClan 

- Firestar names Ravenpaw Ravenflight

Firestar's Quest/TNP

-everything stays mostly the same 

-Graystripe is made deputy after Longtail is blinded

-Hawkfrost and Mothwing are Leopardstar and Tigerstar's kits (sorry Sasha, but this makes more sense)

- Graystripe is neutered (Millie is also spayed, so sorry GrayxMillie kits 😭) 

- Squirrelflight is low key named after Ravenflight

PO3

- Hollyleaf is one of the three and her power is to "bring out the truth", ie. she can tell when she's being lied to and can psychically influence others to tell her their secrets

- the 4th cat prophecy is given earlier. Dovewing is the 4th cat and still has her power although she can only hear things from far away (no smelling or seeing, or hearing into the Dark Forest) 

- Hollyleaf still kills Ashfur, exposes her parentage at the Gathering, and runs into the tunnels where she is believed to be dead. Jayfeather believes this is why they need to find the 4th cat

- Ravenflight gets very sick and dies of stomach cancer

OOtS

- story progresses the same as the original

-  Longtail is crushed by the falling tree but is the only one who was caught in the tree-fall

- Hollyleaf does not die and Bramblestar makes her deputy (he promises she will mentor Seedkit to get around the deputy-mentor rule) 

- Squirrelflight is killed by Hawkfrost instead, with Brambleclaw and the 3 reconciling with her before she dies

- Brambleclaw confesses he still loves her before she dies and she confesses her love back to him

- Very tragic. Much sad.

Bramblestar's Storm/Dovewing's Silence

- story progresses the same as originals

- the 4 do NOT lose their powers (although their powers dim a little over time) 

- Bramblestar's early leadership is further complicated by him heavily grieving over Squirrelflight. Holly, Lion, Jay, Bramble, Leaf, and Sand all grow closer in their shared grief.

- Hollyleaf makes a fantastic deputy

- Jessy stays in ThunderClan along with Frankie, and is named Nettlebloom

AVoS

- Bramblestar and Nettlebloom have 2 kits; Timberkit and Goldenkit

- Timberheart= Alderheart, Goldenlight= Sparkpelt

- Lionblaze's kits play bigger roles

- The Sisters are introduced along with Tree

- the events from Squirrelflight's Hope never happen

- Leafpool dies saving Cinderheart's kits from a rockslide

- Hollytuft has kits with Stormcloud (Flamekit and Leafkit)

- Goldenlight has kits with Larksong (Flickerkit, Starlingkit, and Cedarkit)

- Larksong and Flickerkit die

TBC

- story progresses mostly the same as original

- Squirrelflight rejects Ashfur in StarClan so he possesses Bramblestar to get revenge on her and her kin

- the imposter makes it a point to avoid Jayfeather and Hollyleaf to evade their powers (although their powers aren't as strong as they used to be), but Jayfeather realizes that Bramble is possessed fairly early on

- Mousewhisker takes the place of Stemleaf and dies/is mates with Spotfur (Bristlefrost does not have a crush on him but instead is just more naively obsessed with finding a mate in general at the beginning of her arc)  

- Lionblaze is appointed deputy while Hollyleaf is acting leader

- Squirrelflight breaks through Ashfur's tunnel and tries to help Bramblestar in the DF

- Hollyleaf gets pulled into the Moonpool

- Bramble and Squilf have a rushed but heartfelt goodbye, with Squilf saying she'll be waiting for him in StarClan ❤️

- Squirrelflight and Leafpool play large roles in helping the Clan cats in the DF

- Mistystar does not go into the Dark Forest but Hollyleaf volunteers to go back in along with Graystripe, Bristlefrost, and Shadowsight

ASC

- story progresses mostly the same as original

- Reedwhisker is Curlfeather's father

- Flamepaw becomes Nightheart

- Fernstripe joins ThunderClan to be with Flipclaw

- Bramblestar steps down and Hollystar becomes leader, making Ivypool her deputy

- It is discovered that Brambleclaw had 2 lives left so Hollystar only gets 7 since Bramble is still alive (none of that "giving lives back to StarClan" nonsense)

- StormClan does not exist and the events of Ivypool's Heart do not occur

- Ivypool is one of the cats who believes Frostpaw and works with Nightheart, Sunbeam, Whistlepaw, Mothwing, and Icewing to help her

- Frostpaw teaches Ivypool how to meditate, which helps her work through her grief

Changing Skies

- Moonpaw is one of Nightheart and Sunbeam's kits

- Whitewing and Birchfall move to the elders den

- Hollystar names Wafflepaw Waffleskip

- Tawnypelt does not have a crush on Crowfeather and is content to not take another mate

- Fernstripe is Flipclaw's mate and the mother of Oakkit, Sunkit, and Hazelkit

- Leafstar loses 4 lives falling into the ravine

- Leafstar steps down and Hawkstar becomes SkyClan's leader. However, he only receives 5 lives since Leafstar still has 4

- Hawkstar makes Rootspring his deputy

Frodo is stabbed by a Morgul Blade

It took the Ring two seconds to make both Isildur and Gollum claim it as their own.

It didn’t take much longer for it to make Bilbo do the same, as he kept it as the key “trick up his sleeve” during the Quest for Erebor and never considered harming it.

But in 17 full years and 6 months, it couldn’t make Frodo claim it. It took being inside Mt. Doom, the place where its power was absolute and drowned out all othere, to get Frodo to claim it.

Inside Mt. Doom, no bearer can resist the Ring. They will inevitably claim it there. But literally ALL of the other Ring-bearers who ever claimed it did so outside of Mt. Doom.

The Ring never needed to apply its utmost, Cracks-of-Doom-level pressure to make any previous Ring-bearer claim it. Frodo was the only one who resisted it so long and so well that it had to force itself upon him and break him just to get him to regard it as his own.

Frodo Baggins is the strongest mortal in the Third Age of Middle-Earth and no, I am not accepting questions at this time.

(Remember our beloved Samwise Gamgee never claimed the Ring, and didn’t have it long enough for it to really sink its teeth into him as deeply as it did into everyone else. I’m talking about those who actually claimed the Ring at some point in their lives.)

Some of you long-time followers may remember this ;)

I'm embracing my cringyness and am planning/in the process of a completely re-done version of my old 2011 wolf comic, Fledge. I've also restarted my Patreon and will be sharing the entire comic-making process over there as well as other art and shenanigans. The comic is still some time away from being "started", but you can currently read up to 7 pages of the script now for only $2.00.
