#they both were manipulated into believing they were speaking to starclan and a bad situation rose from it

[amethyst-halo]

no but legitimately i hope frostpaw leans on shadowsight while processing all of this and i hope shadowsight can help her realize none of this was her fault, that the things that happened to her weren’t deserved and in the process realize that for themself too

I always thought the Broken Code should have been about Alderheart and Sparkpelt, but I also loved the good parts of A Vision of Shadows. So I decided to combine it into something I call A Broken Vision AU

Full AU under cut since it's kinda long

Replace Shadowsight and Bristlefrost completely 

Sparkpelt and Alderheart are the main protagonists

Alderheart gets visions like Shadowsight 

Sparkpelt is dealing with the pressure of being perfect and Firestar’s legacy 

Starclan is cut off from the living 

Alderpaw puts Bramblestar in the snow and he dies

Ashfur possesses him

Alderpaw and Sparkpaw receive the same vision of Skyclan

The sneak out to find Skyclan with Sandstorm because Brashstar (Ashfur possessing Bramblestar) won't let them leave

Needlepaw follows along 

Sandstorm still dies 

The find ‘Skyclan’ and Darktail 

The discover he is nothing but bad news and kicked out the real Skyclan

On the way back to the clans, Alderpaw and Needlepaw find a kit

This kit is part of the prophecy 

Plays the role of Violetshine and Rootspring

Note: the Sisters don’t exist, it’s more of a Goosefeather situation 

Needlepaw calls the kit Darkkit

They take the kit back

Rowanstar wants the kit and Brashstar doesn’t care so Shadowclan take Darkkit

Darktail does all his usually stuff 

Brashstar refuses to help and grows worse towards his clanmates

He is manipulating Sparkpaw

She mentions to him that she is struggling under Firestar’s legacy 

Brashstar names her Sparkfire and she is horrified but says nothing

Note: she is made a warrior very early 

Darktail takes Riverclan 

Squirrelflight begs Brashstar to do something about Darktail or at least help Shadowclan and Riverclan and he removes her as deputy 

He makes Sparkfire deputy and gives her an apprentice at the same time

She is crumbling at the seams but trying her best

Darkpaw is living with Needletail and Darktail 

He keeps seeing the ghost of Bramblestar but Needletail tells him to keep it secret  

He does his best to ignore Bramblestar as Darktail continues his tyranny 

Brashstar is making Alderpaw’s hell

Brashstar has exiled Leafpool and Jayfeather as well as other clanmates under the guise of them being codebreakers 

Squirrelflight takes Sparkfire and they beg Onestar for help but he refuses 

Brashstar finds out and he exiles Squirrelflight 

He sends Sparkfire to hunt and she falls into his dog attack trap

Alderpaw struggles to save his sister but manages it

Darkpaw goes to clear his mind and falls into the lake near the Thunderclan border 

Sparkfire saves him and Alderheart helps him heal

They come up with the plan to kill Darktail

Darkpaw doesn’t mention Bramblestar’s ghost even though Bramblestar is begging him to speak 

Darkpaw tries to poison Darktail and gets caught

Darktail tries to make Needletail kill Darkpaw but she refuses 

Darkpaw runs away to Thunderclan 

Needletail dies 

Squirrelflight fakes her death and Brashstar is upset

Sparkfire is finally able to convince him to talk to Onestar and the other exiled clans since he is so depressed he won't argue 

Shadowclan and Riverclan have been living on the outskirts of clan territory 

They all go to Onestar and he confesses to Darktail being his son

Onestar and Darktail have their big fight and both die

Harestar can’t receive his nine lives but tries his best to lead anyways 

Darkpaw mentions Bramblestar’s ghost to Alderheart and Sparkfire

They are not sure if the believe him, they were young when he was possessed so he has always been this way to them

Squirrelflight is living in Shadowclan in secret under Tigerstar 2, since Tigerheart’s Shadow happens a little earlier 

Squirrelflight believes Darkpaw 

Darkpaw receives a vision about Skyclan and leaves with Sparkfire to find them

Brashstar attacks Shadowclan when he finds out Squirrelflight is there 

Alderheart is in shambles as Brashstar admits to being Ashfur 

Brashstar steals Squirrelflight and drags her into the Moonpool

Darkpaw and Sparkfire grow very close in their journey to find Skyclan 

Note: they are three moons apart in age

Darkpaw dreams of the Dark Forest and Ashfur since Bramblestar’s ghost has disappeared 

They find Skyclan and bring them back

Darkpaw is Hawkwing’s son

Darkpaw finally feels at home in Skyclan and hasn’t been happier as he trains with his father 

Alderheart fills everyone in on what they missed

Darkpaw says they need to go to the Dark Forest 

Leafstar gives him his warrior name since he might not come back alive 

His name is Darksong 

Sparkfire and Darksong fully fall in love and spend time together  

They assemble volunteers to go to the Dark Forest 

Alderheart, Sparkfire, Darksong and all the other volunteers go to the Dark Forest with the help of past Dark Forest trainees

They get there

Same things happen as before, like Snowtuft and Ashfur’s ghost army and the black water

Firestar doesn’t possess anyone though because that is so dumb

They dig out the hole to Starclan

The big battle takes place

Ashfur tries to manipulate Sparkfire one last time and is about to kill her

Alderheart stops him but has no chance against Ashfur so Darksong steps in

Darksong, Alderheart and Ashfur fall into the black water 

The three of them die

Sparkfire goes to jump in after them but Squirrelflight stops her

Bramblestar and Sparkpelt have a quiet conversation about losing brothers and legacies 

Bramblestar renames Sparkfire to Sparkpelt

Sparkpelt is pregnant and yells at a gathering about the Warrior Code 

The Clans decide to change the code for the betterment of everyone
