Overly Complicated Ashstar AU: Part 2

(Very long post go read part 1 before starting here. Part 1. Spans TNP, PO3, and TBC)

Hollyleaf is shocked and looks down at him. Clearly her plans to murder him stopped, curiosity too big to just let him die with it. Ashfur has to think quick. If he doesn’t give her an answer she’ll just finish the job and if he lies and she figures it out then he’s screwed. Thoughts racing it hits him.

“Who are my parents! Spit it out before I claw your throat out!” She hisses back though her anger is mixed with anxiety as she waits for his words.

“Leafpool. Your mother is Leafpool. Her and Squirrelflight left to go and have you three in secret and Squirrel took them since Leaf couldn’t.” He let out with a small smile as it clicked into place. He watched the anger spread across her face but not to him, to her mom. Her real one and fake one.

Hollyleaf looks at her and her siblings names, while Lion was named after the fire and saving Squirrel she was named after her mom. Her healer mom who was never supposed to have her or her siblings. Ash recognizes the look in her green eyes, rage and loss from her life being changed. In the moment he can’t help but connect with the cat who was just about to kill him. He offers her a chance, he becomes leader and she becomes his deputy, together they enact revenge on the cats who ruined their lives. She agrees.

They make a plan. The next gathering she reveals the truth about her mom, and gets her to admit who her father is in front of everyone.

Gathering scene happens as in canon but she only announces Leafpool who is immediately attacked by yowls of betrayal and anger. While her fellow healers keep cats back she reveals from the pressure that their father is Crowfeather. Outrage and anger, Leaf is forced to back down as a healer by the other clans and Crow has to step down as deputy. When they get back both Holly and Jay ask to have their suffixes changed, their now Hollyflame and Jaystorm instead. Lionblaze is shook but knows his moms were trying ti hurt them, he knows how it feels to have everyone against him and he knows the code isn’t perfect. As his siblings get their names changed he has his changed to Lionflight after his mom who always cared for him.

(Holly has hers changed to flame for the fire that revealed the truth while Jay has his changed to storm bc that’s how he feels)

Now Ashfur’s part of the plan is to be done. He gets Firestar down to the lake just where Hawk was killed and he was die so many moons ago. As Fire goes to look at a odd scent Ash had lured him ti see he’s ambushed and killed. He makes it look like a enemy clan did it by covering his fiery pelt in other clan scent from the border. When the body is discovered everyone is horrified, many calling to him to attack back and find who killed their beloved leader. But a few, Leafpool and Brambleclaw, have a suspicion it wasn’t just some attack. But both are out of the clans favor so no one listens. He makes Hollyflame his deputy and the day after goes to the moonpool to become Ashstar.

As he sleeps into the beyond instead of going to the light where Starclan would be he whips around and races to the darkness. The cold shadows enveloping him as he forces through built the mist clears to the dark forest. Only one cat in his mind to see. Hawkfrost

Being a living cat he has more power and ends up making his path cross to his mate through will alone. They meet once again, it’s been so long. Hawk stares at him with glossy icy blue eyes. “Are you dead?” He breathes out in a mix of ache and worry, each word a chill down his spine. “No. I finished what we started. I killed Firestar and was to become Ashstar but I couldn’t go see them. I had to see you.”. As Ash stared at him he feels what he felt before the stake was drove through his chest at the lake. Where it would’ve been was a hole, open and dark like shadows filled it up. “I’ll bring you back. We’ll rule together. I don’t care what it takes. I’m not leaving you here.”

Ash has the spirit of his mate tied to his own, where nine lives would be two stay. Intertwined till he can find a way to have him in another body. When Ash breaks Hawk out it damages the walls of the dark forest, where it was strong and keeping the damned spirits in it now was cracked. Spilling its dark mind bending mist outside its plane. But when he comes back no spirit is tied to his side.

It’s the half moon with the light sparkling over the lake. Maybe he was wrong. Maybe he couldn’t take Hawk into the living world. A figure catches his eye, a large cat with a spiky mane stumbling across the lake shore. Heart beating he races down to come face to face with them. It was Hawkfrost. Fully in form, his scar letting out a mist. And yet when he tried to touch his face his paw went right through him. He was a ghost. But he was there atleast.

Knowing she’s still ready to act he tells Holly something about Leafpool. This angers her and she goes and confronts her, we get the death berry encounter and Holly runs away when Jay and Squirrel walk into the den before she can kill Leaf. She runs in fear the others will hurt her and hides in the tunnel, only for the entrance to collapse leaving her trapped. Jay and Lion were behind her and tried to dig through the ground but couldn’t find her. She was gone.

Without his deputy he had to choose someone else and decided he wanted Squirrelflight back. She is made deputy again and as in canon is really good at it. Just like her father. But the cats against him won’t stay quiet much longer. He needs to act faster and with Squirrel running the clan so well he has time to try things out. Eventually he finds out about the new Shadowclan cat who came from some other group of cats. He looks at the little Tom with curiosity and even more when he sees that the cat is focusing just behind him, where he knows Hawk’s ghost is sitting as always. The cat can see ghosts.

This is as far as I’ve gotten! I think maybe Ash could, like in canon, use Hawk to manipulate poor Shadowsight. This would mix the OOTS with TBC in that since the walls of the DF are breaking down the cats are coming into the living world. The three would use their power to mend the afterlife. And ofc since Shadow is already in this he wouldn’t be a Dove kit, he’s instead a kit of the sisters taken in by Shadowclan. I might change this though and distance this out more more, since I do enjoy Dovewing and Bristlefrost so I’ll shift things once I get feedback!

wow. are we really so close to avos? god. this is wack. i don't know. hope y'all are having a good time too.

[warriorsbutnotreally]

I think it would have been neat for Darkstripe to have been named Darkclaw, to keep the suffix going from Thistleclaw (Shithead), to Tigerclaw (Also Shithead), to Dark (whaddya know, also a shithead). But also because the idea of suffixes passing down from mentor to apprentice would be neat.

It would also make Bluestar have been either Bluepelt (after Stonepelt, her first mentor before he retired), or Bluefall (after Sunfall/star), and thus Firestar would become either Firepelt or Firefall

Other name changes for the first are could be:

Greyflight (Windflight > Swiftflight > Lionflight)

Dustclaw (Darkstripes Apprentice) (would lead to Ashclaw, Squirrelclaw, and Hazelclaw directly)

Sandpelt (Fuzzypelt > Patchpelt > Whitepelt) (the saddest change here)

Actually, going through wiki mentors the Tigerclaw name line would actually have the -pounce suffix, which I think is funnier (Harepounce > Adderpounce > Thistlepounce > Tigerpounce > Etc.)

This is an interesting idea for world-building tbh

but also man imagine being given a mentor and deep down you're aware that you're going to be given their suffix when you become a warrior

esp if it's a name you hate

Honor Name AU

This is the fleshed out version of the "Cats are named based on cats they adored or their achievements" I had in my AUs part two post.

Basics

In this AU cats name themselves based on the above. More broadly it can be anything in their life, but it's mainly those two, and more often cats who were close to them. So, at warrior ceremonies they get to choose their suffix. They'll only change their prefix if the name doesn't make sense (like, Robinrunning would sound odd), and will probably keep their old prefix as the suffix.

If a cat dies young, they will be renamed out of sorrow and respect for their death. Since they can't choose their name, the suffix will most often be what they died to (badger, claw, cough, etc). Don't want to name them after someone they hate by accident. If not that, it's a very obvious achievement, though dying young they probably don't have one

These chosen suffixes/prefixes are called honor words

Some cats might use cats they absolutely hate for their honor word, in a sort of spiteful or reminding way. Like, "I'ma make this part of my name to make sure I don't fuck up."

This could totally get confusing or repetitive and that's kinda rad

Ceremonies

Normal, after the apprentice says "I do"

"Then by the power of StarClan I give you your warrior name. (Apprentice) has chosen (new name), with (honor word) for (reason). StarClan honors your (virtues) and we welcome you as a full warrior of (clan)"

Young cat has died

"This (kit/apprentice) has gone through trial that took their life to soon. In honor of them, I give them the name of (new name) with (honor word) for (reason). We honor (new name)'s (vitures) and we welcome them as a warrior in StarClan."

lionflight becomes a warrior!

skykit dies. flintfang also passes.

and sprucesight has a litter with nightwhisper: redkit (red tom) and yellowkit (she-cat with a pale undercoat)

[warriors-but-cats-die]

Reading thru this au really gets across the 'a warriors life is dangerous' thing. Practically anyone has lost a loved one by the time they become a warrior/seer, and the sheer number of dead kits is just rough. I'd consider a warrior naming ceremony an achievement in this, where in canon it feels kinda ordinary and we just gloss over it. Great work!

i'm glad it's coming across!

a warrior ceremony is definitely a huge achievement. and numbers i don't share (or record) is the number of kits who are...who by the numbers, should have been born, but weren't. when i generate a litter, i do an extra set of deaths in their first season, and those kits aren't shared. agoserisstrike (née agoseris, m. squirrelflight, f. brambleclaw), for example, had two littermates who are basically never born.

they don't exist in any meaningful sense, i think of it as basically...smaller litters due to a high stress environment.

anyway, i was looking at bayheart's kits, and they are...

rainkit, sapstripe, troutkit, sharpkit, ridgekit, nettlerun, and then five kits in a newborn litter (squailkit, hailkit, fadekit, sprucekit, and ashkit). so only a third of her kits actually become warriors.

or for whitetail: heathertail, rockbird, sapkit, squailkit, ashpaw, goldenkit, cresspaw, juniperkit, shadewing, indigostar (née indigobird), thistlekit, sedgewhisker, swallowpaw, droughtpaw, hoodspot, pricklepaw, snakepelt, tailkit, and a newborn litter (icekit, indigokit, yewkit, poplarkit, and alderkit).

yes, whitetail has...a lot of kits. this is what happens when you choose queens at random, and she has litters with 5-7 kits. and yes, she names two kits indigokit. it was the best of the three options i rolled.

but anyway, that's 7/18, or 39% survival rate. so yeah, being a warrior is a big deal! unless you're in shadowclan.

darkflower's kits are skykit, nightflower, lionflight, rowanclaw, and sleetface.

sprucesight's kits are redfang and yellowtail.

not that they don't have low survival rates: yellowtail's kits are junipersun, poplarface, drizzlekit, morningkit, indigokit, mistpaw, dewkit, and sparrowpaw. (although sparrowpaw isn't old enough to be a warrior yet.)

anyway, i'm glad i convey that. i try to make sure the deaths are varied, interesting, and so on. as well as injuries. lightningthorn has raccoon paralysis! that's a real thing.

rosemaryheart is paralyzed from just below her shoulders!

crowfeather loses a leg to a badger.

i try to keep things interesting.

(also, in case you haven't figured it out, when i go through things, i'm doing it from my present, which is, atm, Y8-LF.)

i've considered removing dead kits from the family tree...but i keep them in. it reminds me that life is rough for warriors.
