"you're gonna fail."
you knew alhaitham had a sharp tongue towards others, and it's really not any different with you. "you didn't have to be that blunt about it. i'm trying!" you say to him, sighing in frustration at the books piling up in front of you both now.
"i know you are, but it's just most likely that you'll fail."
this earns him a loud smack on his arm, the sound vibrating well in the area of the library that you're in. "do you want to do something else?" he asks. you told him no and continued to study as if nothing had happened.
alhaitham almost forgot how you're stubborn. he admires this trait of yours, truly, but when it comes to times like these? oh, how he wishes you weren't so stubborn in the first place.
he calls your name once, twice, and three times. but you ignored him and acted as if he wasn't just beside you. "love," he calls. that was his trump card—the endearment that you just love to hear from him.
"this isn't going to work on me, alhaitham," you say.
"but at least now, i got your attention." he says. you turn to him in confusion, just how alhaitham expected and use that chance to grab your chin gently with his fingers to keep you facing him.
"what is i—"
you get cut off by him pressing a soft kiss on your lips, which surprised you. but not that you hate it; it's just a bit rare for alhaitham to initiate this type of thing first.
the soft kiss made you want for more, your hand slowly creeping up to the nape of his neck, and you feel his hand cupping your cheek now. was this what he wanted to happen?
he pulled back not too long after before things could get more intense. and that honestly disappointed you, which is exactly what alhaitham wants, and you finally realized it. he kisses you so good and pulls away just when things are getting good; of course you would want more.
"god, you're insufferable," you say to him, and alhaitham just chuckles at you.
"i love you too.”

Does mapleshade still follow Crookedstar in this? What if her purpose doing that is to make sure riverclan never rejects a half-clan kit again (that’s why he doesn’t question Misty and stone and another reason for wanting his grandkits in riverclan)
I'm passionate about the idea that people are heavily influenced by their circumstances. It's much easier to be a good person when you have loving guidance and the environment to be your best self. Likewise, pain and suffering can bring out the worst even in the kindest, most selfless people.
And in both of the AUs I have for Mapleshade, she is not a particularly nice person to begin with. But being StarClan's best prosecutor allows the positive aspects of her personality to shine. So to answer your question:
"Does Mapleshade still follow Crookedstar?"
#Bonefall Rewrite
In the current version of my rewrite, Mapleshade is condemned to the Dark Forest for 3 counts of murder. She takes the ruling with pride and confidence, playing to the sympathetic crowd by chasing the other damned souls into the Dark Forest.
In truth she's just as spiteful as she was in life, and now she's alone with no friends or family, bored, in Hell, and uses all that spare time to haunt Appledusk's lineage, and basically everyone associated with her death (Perchpaw/shine as well).
So, it's really not for a constructive reason that she follows Stormkit. She pushed him off the stone to kill him and only broke his jaw. She notices that Rainflower has a spiteful, awful view of her son, and decides that it would cause even more suffering to keep Stormkit alive. She kills some more kits so he'll have a foster to suckle him, just to watch them make each other miserable.
(rewrite recap: Rainflower is now the Appledusk descendant. Stormkit is not getting a cruel renaming, Crookedjaw is an honor title.)
Crookedstar follows Darkstar's commandment, the Queen's Rights, because he is a good, proud leader who abides by the traditions of his predecessors. That's all. Mapleshade doesn't need to bully him into 'clan loyalty' or anything, her haunting is much more actively malevolent than canon.
#Better Call Mapleshade AU
In StarClan, Mapleshade is with her kits. Her wonderful, sweet children-- they are an excellent influence. She's still ruthless and vengeful, of course, but she lives for the contrary position she can hold up to StarClan
A LOT of her motivation stems from that. From knowing that StarClan would otherwise let people in who shouldn't be there (hypocritical? Yes) and she takes this duty very seriously.
The BCM AU shares some aspects of the Bonefall Rewrite, but here, I think it's very similar to canon. Mapleshade watches Rainflower emotionally abuse an innocent kitten, and she KNOWS that Rainflower would just get into StarClan without any intervention (the way she did in canon). Mapleshade needs more evidence to condemn her-- and she will create scenarios to get what she needs.
On one paw this IS born out of righteous fury. She IS thinking of her own kits, you might agree that Rainflower deserved the Dark Forest, and Mapleshade won't FORCE Rainflower to do anything she wouldn't already do. She will test her, that's all.
But to test her? She is going to use Crookedkit. This WILL cause a lot more pain to him than if she just left it all alone and let Rainflower get into StarClan. She encourages him into positions of power to prove himself, she lets this young cat think that his value is tied to what his abusive mother thinks of him.
Because the more pain he displays, the further the lengths he goes to in service of appeasing Rainflower, the more Mapleshade can use as ammo to get her damned.
Mapleshade always serves her own interests first and foremost, not those of the greater good.

The difference between c!karlnapity and c!tntduo is that karl and sapnap would live him despite the atrocities and wilbur would love him because of the atrocities. Wilbur and quackity would commit so many atrocities. They’d go on a date to the prison and just beat the shit out of dream and kiss covered in blood. They’re so fucked up and I am completely sane about them I promise
