[clangen-stories]

so one of my elders gets pregnant. i have affairs on and mates with random second parents off. the elder has no mate so i'm curious to see how this plays out. the father turns out to be one of the warriors, rootwhisker. he's awkward in the nursery, never spends time with his son (who is insecure) and never even looks twice at the kid's mom again (who he has zero romantic interest in).

time passes. suddenly my mateless deputy is pregnant despite having had a broken leg for two months. she ends up having three kits, and guess who shows up in the nursery again despite having zero romance with her. rootwhisker. he's a better father this time around, which is good, but his son with the elder not only lost his mother but has to deal with being a medic under a guy who hates his guts. meanwhile rootwhisker is cheering at his new kids' ceremonies and giving them advice.

i should also mention that rootwhisker has tried (and failed) to seduce 1) a lesbian couple, 2) my fav couple, 3) a random old man, and more. one of the medics became pregnant out of nowhere and i was about to lose it, but he ended up not being the father that time. he's retired now and still ignoring his first affair lmao

OH MY. GOD?

I DONT EVEN KNOW HOW TO REACT TO THIS…..??

Rootwhisker is a trans tom cat who uses it/its pronouns. Its fur is a light grey classic tabby coat with white splotches, and its eyes are copper orange. It bears multiple nasty scars on its worn form. Its fur is very short and has a(n) scraggly texture, and it keeps it very messy. It likes talking, and dislikes rain fall. It is honest, though other cats hesitantly describe it as underbearing when asked to describe a flaw. It sleeps in too long. It is a(n) lost elderly cat who dislikes its job.

It likes to wear clovers. It doesn't like to to torment prey.

Dear Thindelus,

By now you must realize I am not at home. What was so pressing as to merit you breaking into my tower eludes me, yet here you stand. If you were dedicated enough to spend what must have been at least 30 minutes dispelling my door enchantments, then I must assume that either someone has fallen gravely ill (If it is Mrs. Quiggleby, I send my deepest condolences. If it was Harold Rootwhisker, good riddance to him. The man couldn’t recite a spell properly if the spellbook read itself aloud for him to repeat—I would know, I saw him try.), or you have come to finish me off yourself...

My narrative letter “Thindelus” has been published in Page Turner Magazine and can be read here!

This piece explores the long sordid history between a pair of wizards as one bids the other a final, and somewhat pretentious, farewell.

9 days until applications for ThreeClans open.

Another day, another review! Or, well...a couple of them. It seems like there was one subject that everyone in NettleClan was clambering to talk about...Be on the lookout for Azaleapaw should you choose to traverse the forests and swamps. Flintheart, Viperpaw, and Rootwhisker of NettleClan have given you more than a fair warning!

Iceclaw’s Revenge - Chapter Eleven

“Ready to go Ashcloud?” Rabbitshadow poked his head into the former leaders den. The tom turned around and nodded solemnly. “Shadowclan will be so lucky to have you as a leader.” Ashcloud gave him a sad smile.

“Thanks Rabbitshadow. I just wish it was under better circumstances.” Becoming a leader because the other one was brutally murdered definitely isn't ideal. The two of them walked out into the clearing where the rest of the clan was mourning.

“Let’s get some prey before we go.” They padded over to the fresh kill pile and each picked out something. Rabbitshadow ran back over to the medicine den to collect traveling herbs for the two of them. As he exited the den he spotted Ashcloud talking to Iceclaw. There was something suspicious about her. Mousestripe seemed so kind, why would she ever want to kill Barkstar? His thoughts were interrupted as the future leader walked over.

“Ready?” He asked.

“Eat these first.” The medicine cat set the herbs down on the ground and waited for him to eat them. “Now we can go.” The two, pawsteps in sync, started off to the Moonstone.

The crystal glistened in the moon light. Ashcloud walked up slowly and pressed his nose onto the cold rock. Rabbitshadow came up next to him and slipped into a deep sleep and joined him in Starclan.

He looked around and saw Ashcloud receiving his nine lives from past warriors, leaders and medicine cats.

“Rabbitshadow! You���re here! Thank Starclan, I need to tell you something.” He swung his head around and saw Barkstar running towards him.

“Barkstar, you made it. Are you not giving Ashcloud a life?” There was panic in the leaders eyes.

“That isn’t important right now. Iceclaw is lying to you!” The tom was taken aback by the sudden information.

“Wait, what do you mean?” He hissed, taking a step forward.

“Iceclaw isn’t a hero. She killed Rootwhisker, Mousestripe and I.” He was yowling at this point. Rabbitshadow knew something was wrong with Iceclaw’s story, why did he ever believe her? “You need to stop her, who knows what she’s planning next.” He nodded hastily and closed his eyes tightly.

He woke up in a panic and shook Ashcloud awake.

“Rabbitshadow, what���s wrong?” His eyes blinked sleepily.

“Have you received your nine lives?” The medicine cat asked in a panic. He nodded tiredly. “Good, we need to leave.” Rabbitshadow spun around and began trekking back to camp.

“What? Why? What happened?” The black tom stopped in his track and spun around to face him.

“Barkstar told me the truth. Now pick up the pace.”

“Ashstar I’m assuming?” Was the first question Thornfoot asked when they arrived back at camp. Rabbitshadow couldn’t bother having this conversation right now. He ran to the fresh kill pile and chose a fat lizard. Perfect. He brought it back to the medicine den and sat it down. Carefully, he tore it open, and made room inside. He pushed around a few piles of herbs, revealing his stash of death berries. Was he really going to do this?

For Barkstar, the voice in his head told him. He picked up a few berries and stuffed them into the prey. Finally he closed up the rip as neatly as he could.

Rabbitshadow picked up the lizard, making sure not to spill anything. He looked around and spotted Iceclaw coming out of the warriors den. He ran over with prey in mouth. He flagged her down with his tail and she stopped in her tracks.

“Need something Rabbitshadow?” He shook his head and sat the prey down, hiding the cut.

“I just wanted to share this with you, as a thanks for saving the clan.” She smiled thankfully and took a large bite. Rabbitshadow watched her intently.

Iceclaw bit into the lizard Rabbitshadow had just brought her. She looked up at him and noticed that he was scowling.

“What?” She hissed impatiently. He grabbed the lizard by the tail and flipped it over just as she’d swallowed. Small red berries fell out onto the ground below. “Are those…” there was a burning sensation swelling in the back of her throat. She began coughing vigorously, her vision became blurry. The coughing fit quickly turned into not being able to breathe and right after began choking on the foam forming in her mouth. She looked up at Rabbitshadow in between coughs.

“How dare you…try to murder me.” She attempted to claw him, but she was too slow. She took one last breath before collapsing.

“Rabbitshadow! What did you do?” Toadstream ran over to where he was standing. Iceclaw’s body had fallen limp.

“She lied to us Toadstream.” More cats had gathered around, including Ashstar. “I saw Barkstar in Starclan. Mousestripe didn’t kill him or Rootwhisker.” He looked down at the dead she-cat. “She killed all three of them.” The clan gasped.

“Get her out of here. She doesn’t deserve to be buried in our clan.” Ashstar’s voice was full of rage and disappointment. Several cats carelessly picked her up and began dragging her out of camp. Rabbitshadow sighed and went back to the medicine den.

Night had fallen over Shadowclan and everyone was still recovering from the shock. Rabbitshadow was sitting outside under the stars, looking for a sign that he’d done the right thing.

“I hope you’re proud of me Barkstar.” He whispered to the sky. Overwhelmed with sadness he decided to go to sleep. Rabbitshadow curled up and closed his eyes. He’d always cared about Barkstar a little more than he should have. He was forced to bury his feelings for the tom, especially after he became a medicine cat. He pushed the thoughts away and tried to get at least a little sleep.

Rabbitshadow blinked until his eyes adjusted to the scenery. He looked around in a panic but took a deep breath when he realized where he was. Starclan.

“Hello?” His meow echoed through the land. He sat down on the soft, flowing grass and looked side to side.

“Behind you.” A deep voice startled him. He spun around and saw who was there.

“Barkstar, it's good to see you again.” The medicine became slightly flustered and began switching his weight from paw to paw. The former leader cleared his throat and walked closer until he was right next to him. Barkstar sat down and entwined his tail with Rabbitshadow’s.

“Thank you, Rabbitshadow. For always caring.” Barkstar was staring at his paws, waiting for his response.

“Of course.” He snuggled up closer to him and closed his eyes. “Anything for you.”

it pretty much follows a similar structure to the first 5 ish seasons but here's a shorter version of it along with some notes

NAMES

dean -> dune

sam -> stag

mary -> merry

john -> no change

jess(ica moore) -> bell

adam milligan -> addermist

castiel -> fallencrow

michael -> burningfang

lucifer -> lightfall/morningsun maybe? i went with lightfall tho

raphael -> rootwhisker

gabriel -> goldenhawk (loki once in his own WPP)

crowley -> crowlight

rowena -> rowanmist

hannah -> harriersong

inias -> iriswing

hester -> heatherstorm

kevin -> kestreltail

samandriel -> salamanderpaw

charlie -> redchirp

bobby -> no change

chuck -> woodchuck

amara/the darkness -> darkshadow

anna -> redwing

jody -> ??

jimmy novak -> idk if he or his family could even exist here

ellen -> no change

joanna beth (jo) -> no change

most demons dont have name changes lol

PLOT(ISH)

winchesters were kittypets until house cuaght fire, killed(?) merry, boys became street cats and the kids had john change their names

main angel cast are in one clan, woodchuck and darkshadow are AWOL

naomi is the head of the family, being the mother of woodchuck's oldest (the archangels) and burningfang is the "second in command"

lightfall banished after he and burningfang had a violent spat that ended in goldenhawk "dying" (he faked his death and became a rogue named loki), rootwhisker and burningfang "fighting" for dominance

fallencrow has trouble sticking to the clan's strict rules and devotion to starclan

stag runs away to a city group where he meets jess, stays for a few moons before going bakc out to find john

dune saves stag from a few dogs and is chased into clan territory where he's saved by a patrol and ultimately fallencrow. his arrival was prophesized so hes initally seen as a good sign

stag is stressed out of his mind trying to find his brother, eventually dropping out of bobby's range of communication for a while in a fit of desperation and stress

stag's psychic powers are more so prophetic dreams until they die off by the "season 3 premiere" era, sometimes has some but they're fuzzier now

there's ghosts and sometimes minor deities, other monsters are just cats out of their minds or other predatorial animals

fallencrow's more willing to bend the rules after meeting dune

dune is the OPPOSITE of what the clan expected their righteous man to be and resent him for turning fallencrow soft

burningfang isn't evil more than he is just trying to keep his family from crumbling after his father disappeared and two of his brothers were exiled or "died". hes just very stressed and now more prone to snapping and being aggressive but he's really just doing what he sees as right. hes an antagonist for a while, yes, but he's not a villain

jack comes in at some point i just have to decide when/where argh

stag and dune reunite after dune heals enough and bails, though he hates leaving fallencrow behind

"i will see you again, won't i, dune?" "...we'll see, 'crow." "i look forward to it, then."

stag is estatic to learn clan cats are real, but less estatic when dune recounts his experience with them, calling them "dicks". stag wants fo meet fallencrow and dune feels bad for having to leave him behind now that the clan is mad at dune for "fucking up" fallencrow's moral compass

and thats all i have right now argh!

Iceclaw’s Revenge - Chapter Nine

writing by Finn

edited by @krabpopz

——————

Iceclaw opened her eyes and was immediately blinded by the sunlight shining into the warriors den. She had been a warrior for six moons now and still couldn’t get used to the amount of sun that came into this den in the mornings. She groaned as she sulked out into the clearing. The hunting party had just returned, which meant prey was warm. She chose a plump rat from the Carrion Place.

“Hey, Mousestripe.” Iceclaw turned her head to see Nightrunner with his tail hooked around her sisters. She rolled her eyes and brought her breakfast to the edge of camp to eat alone. Mousestripe and Nightrunner had been mates for the past few moons, and it was getting annoying. Can’t they love each other in private?

Ashcloud was arranging patrols when Barkstar finally came out of his den. Iceclaw’s muscles tightened and she flexed her claws. She imagined slashing his throat open in one fatal swoop, watching the life drain out of his eyes…..washing the blood of her paws in the cold river water…..

“Iceclaw, is that okay with you?” She jerked her head to face Ashcloud.

“What?” Did he ask her something? She swallowed hard and waited for the deputy to repeat his question. The tom rolled his eyes and sighed.

“Are you okay with patrolling near the two-leg place with Toadstream, Dewfrost and Redstone?” She nodded quickly and gave him an apologetic look. “Go on then.” The four cats got up and began walking towards the border.

Once they’d arrived, Iceclaw split off from the rest of the group, to cover more land. She was close to the two-leg nests when she felt a presence. Someone was coming up behind her. She spun around and tackled the cat, slamming them into the ground.

“Icepaw, it's me!” The cat hissed. She focused on who was below and gasped.

“Viper, I’m so sorry, I thought you were a kittypet.” She got off of him and sat down, emmbrassed. He stood up and fixed his fur, a tint of annoyance in his glare. “What are you doing here? You’re going to get caught.”

“I wanted to see you. Skeet told me about Amberheart.” Amberheart. Iceclaw’s shoulders fell at the thought of her mother, bloody and broken.

“Yeah well, now you’ve seen me. Leave, before someone else comes by.” She snapped at him. “And It’s Iceclaw now. I’m a warrior.”

“No need to be curt. I understand you’re upset with Barkstar.” Iceclaw felt a growl rise in her throat.

“It’s not just him. Mousestripe and Rootwhisker forgive him. He kicked you out the clan and probably orchestrated Amberheart’s death. Since when has Shadowclan hunted eagles.” She was yowling at this point, all of her emotions erupting like a volcano. Viper slid his tail over her mouth, shushing her.

“Maybe, they need to learn a lesson. Rats are quite dangerous creatures you know.” Iceclaw squinted, was he implying that she kill them. The rats at the Carrion Place were quite diseased, but could she really murder her littermates? “Just some prey for thought. I’ll get going, I think I hear Dewfrost.” He got up and made his way over the border. She watched him hop a two-leg fence and disappear.

Iceclaw was carrying a lizard in her jaws as she walked back into the Shadowclan camp. She glanced towards the edge of the clearing to see Rootwhisker with his new apprentice, Marshpaw, practicing battle moves with the other apprentices. Iceclaw scoffed as the small brown cat landed on his back with a thump. Some mentor you are Rootwhisker. She plopped her prey into the pile and scanned the camp.

Everything was just as it should be. The elders, Smokefur and Leafnose, we’re gossiping in their den, the warriors were busy at work while the apprentices followed closely behind. In the nursery sat Snowpetal with her newborn kits.

Iceclaw was content, that is until she panned her head towards Barkstar’s den and saw Mousestripe sitting inside with him. How could she just enjoy his company? Barkstar hadn’t done anything for their family and Mousestripe was just talking to him like it was nothing! Her brow furrowed and muscles flexed. Maybe Viper’s idea wasn’t so ruthless after all.
