Hawkfrost and reedwhisker?

[bonefall]

Reed used to do Primrosepaw’s hair (cuz it was really long and always tangled) so once him and Hawk grew closer he stared playing with and fixing his longer silky coat.

Hawk always brings Reed the coolest thing he can find and they then Reed will make it into bracelets or any other accessories. They have matching shell anklets.

When anyone comments on their relationship Reed immediately pulls Hawk back bc he knows the cat is about to pummel them.

While Reed never particularly wanted to be in power he is a amazing organizer and good with his words so Hawk told him when he’s leader Reed would be his deputy. All Reed ever really wanted was to be comfortable and leave behind a better world for the next generations. If we’re going au course if him and Hawk ever had kits they’d of named them Primkit or Rosekit, Tadpolekit, Pikekit, or Pebblekit after Stonefur. Hawk also wanted to name a kit after him and have it he called Swankit for their beauty and aggression.

The couple planned to have multiple kits and rule Riverclan. But when Hawkfrost never came back Reed spent moons searching on every patrol and night walk for his lost love. Au wise again I could see Reed never moving on but maybe having kits. I always liked him being the real sire for Frostpaw and her siblings or Minnowtail and her siblings (slightly like Minnow being a Reed kit more)

He never felt right taking up the spot as deputy and always stated that if his mother died before him he’d give it to his own pick. He never wanted power in the first place and the idea of being leader without his love pained him too much. When he dies and finds that Hawk is in the df he gains access to the tunnel between and the two meet there to be together. I could see him and Juniperclaw being friends, also taking care of the stray or new kits in Starclan.

I love the theme here that more than anything, Reedwhisker is dutiful. He does what must be done-- in the gentle, reliable way, like a brother, like a lover, like stepping stones always there to hold you up and help you cross.

And like the stones unmoving, he always seems to be watching others pass where he can't go.

He didn't know what to do with his paws when Primrosepaw and her wild hair wasn't around anymore. He learned to braid everything else, reeds, flax, grass, yarn. He didn't start with Hawkfrost's fur; the tabby would bring him all sorts of strings just to watch what Reedpaw made of them.

It was fascinating, the way Reed's paws moved... it was like they could dance. It made Hawkpaw look at his own long claws, poking out through the tabby fur. No matter how many times he tried, he could never make his paws move like that. They were for fighting and for fishing, no more.

And no less, either

Because Hawkfrost always had his eyes on ambition, from a young age. He need a deputy; and there was no one as patient or as thorough as Reedpaw. He had failed his assessment several times but Hawkfrost knew that something was suspicious about it. Fishy, even. On the day of his last failure, he brought back four small perch that, combined, weighed more than the trout Blackclaw dragged in earlier.

"Small fish become big fish, you've ruined four hunts in advance!" His mentor snapped. Hawkfrost would fight for himself, he'd have tangled with Leopardstar herself if she gave him such a worthless excuse-- but Reedwhisker backed down immediately, muttering an apology, and a promise to do better.

That night he started weaving a net. The next assessment he brought back a carp, and brought it straight to Leopardstar before telling his mentor anything.

In a better world, one more fair, that's what they would have become. The fearless, honorable leader and his measured, reliable deputy. Ruling at each other's sides, Hawkfrost's sharp claws and Reedwhisker's clever paws.

But reality isn't the five kits (two litters, maybe more) they'd talked about, or endless soft nights of braided fur and matching accessories. Reality is watching his mother and his lover get into louder and angrier arguments. Reality is being forced into a side when Blackclaw reminds him he's quarter-clan. Reality is cold nights that go by and Hawkfrost is not in the nest that Reedwhisker lovingly weaved into his.

The last time he sees him (alive), he's reminded of a memory of Primrosepaw. She's looking over her shoulder, standing on the last stepping stone, just before reaching the other side of the river. Hawkfrost is about to hop the short border to ShadowClan and his eyes are wide, like he didn't want to be caught.

He let him go. Stupid, spineless moron he was. He let him go.

I think he liked Duskfur, and he was a good mate. Reliable. Kept her fed and groomed, if a bit distant, but not neglectfully so (always so work oriented! Measured, reliable).

But when his kits were born (just one litter, of two) and she asked him to name one... he shook his head. He couldn't tell her that he had five names too many but none to give away, so instead he said, "You'd be better at that."

The names Curlkit and Podkit suit them just fine... but he sometimes wondered what their warrior names would have been, if they'd been named Primrose and Tadpole.

hawkreed au where hawkfrost bumps into reed hunting while on his way to the fox trap and instead of going through with his plan, abandons tigerstar and just hunts with reed

firestar still loses a life bc of ashfur, but no bramble and hawk fight ofc

[nightly-ruse]

So far hypokits/hypoparents and ships are winning in the poll. Maybe I’ll mix them.

Send me a ship or interesting dynamic between characters and I’ll make hypokits out of them.

HeatherBreeze and HawkReed?

HeatherBreeze: Not divorced at all, in an incredibly healthy marriage that is 100% stable. They are head over heels for each other and still sometimes act like teens in love despite being adults

HawkReed: Divorced, ReedWhisker didn't take very kindly to HawkFrost wanting to get rid of his (Reed's) mom

[thatsaltybobcat]

Have you ever heard of the shop hawkreed? If you do request for ship art could I request some hawkreed (hawkfrost x Reedwhisker)

here ya go, i like the idea of Hawkreed, as long as its a good boi Hawkfrost

[brackenfur]

i have such a hard time finding a version of hawkfrost i like ????? n i guess it’s because his canon v fanon interpretation is one of the most drastic out of almost any other character, ie his canon self is literally just “tigerstar w blue eyes” but his fanon content is usually so much more interesting that you FORGET that anything abt him being jealous of brambleclaw, abt his thoughts on his mother, any dynamic-ness to his relationship w mothwing, or even him being even slightly sassy or annoying or anything other than another “stoic mean dude” like his dad…..that’s all fanon bc canon!hawkfrost is so fuckign boring dude.

[bonefall]

HawkReed is a disaster waiting to happen. Like imgine you love the persons son who practically ruined half you life and continues to ruin it secretly. Then your love comes up dead after going to Thunderclan for unknown reasons, and when dying finds out he’s in the dark forest.

IT ISS. I think that's why I like it. It's doomed from the start.

The loyal, faithful background deputy, no ulterior motives, simple and straightforward... and the power-hungry, manipulative villain with endless schemes who has an iconic death.

Grandson of Bluestar and son of Tigerstar. Iconic.

The heartbreak when Hawkfrost dies, suddenly and violently, in ThunderClan territory. The SHOCK of seeing him fighting for the Dark Forest in the Great Battle, barely recognizable

I like to put my blorbos in a blender and grind 'em up, man
