thinking about how eiji's a pole vaulter and how ash talks about eiji "flying" and how eiji's associated with bird imagery and how eiji's free (unlike ash) and how eiji comes in on a plane and leaves on a plane and how ash cannot fly, ash cannot be free, how nyc is ash's prison, and how ash is the leopard who dies climbing the mountain, unable to live at such elevation, how he was trying to reach the sky and be free but was always stuck to the earth, how he chose to die instead of climbing back down, how he chose to die where he could see the sky and hope and freedom almost like a bird with eiji's letter right in front of him rather than letting everything go wrong and ruin it once again, how eiji's a failed pole vaulter anyway, how a bad fall ruined his career and grounded him (physically and emotionally), how it took flying to america and meeting ash and needing to save him and skip for him to try flying again, how he landed hard and harsh and still the thought of that escape compelled ash to protect eiji at all costs because if he could fly that means something to him, even if he doesn't think he can fly, how eiji is the manifestation of his hope and how when he breaks and asks eiji to stay with him a while he folds himself over his legs and weighs him down and traps him and grounds him, how ash fights like hell to keep eiji alive not because he thinks he can be like him (hopeful, flying, innocent), but because he makes him forget the gravity of his situation, and so he can see eiji fly again. how he wants to see him escape. how eiji is a bird and ash is a wildcat and how ash never once saw eiji as prey. how eiji never saw ash as a predator. how it is eiji's naivete that first endears ash to him, how it is his freedom and flight and removal from darkness and his ability to leave that darkness that really roots eiji in ash's blood as something essential to him keeping on living in this hell of nyc. how it is that distance from the violence and that hope for the future that ash chooses to surround himself in as he dies. how ash dies in a dream because he feels more than anything that he can't fly like eiji, that he can never leave. how his violence is a part of him and will be forever, how it weighs him down. how he wants to enjoy the view from the mountainside rather than looking up from the ground below. as if they can both fly. as if he is with him up there and not grounded. eye-to-eye with what he can't have, seeing eiji's homeland: the sky. how he dies trying to reach the top because he couldn't take retreating and trying again. how ash, tired and tired and tired and convinced it will go on forever if he crawls back down the mountain, chooses to close his life deluged in eiji, in eiji's insistence that they can fly together, in eiji's hope for him and for them, in eiji's beautiful dream. how ash dies without trying to realize that dream. how ash, in dying, destroys it.

Twilight

Twilight/Sunset.

Final book of the Warriors, New Prophecy human AU. I know the final book is Sunset but I felt I but together the events of both books.

For the final book everyone gets a POV. Leafpool, Crowfeather, Brambleclaw, Squirrelflight and Stormfur.

A small cat is told by Starclan that she will not survive an attack on her camp but because she is loyal she will be warned about her death.

Brambleclaw is angry at Tallstar because as he is watching Onewhisker tell Windclan what Tallstar told them moments before his death. Bramblecalw wonders what Tallstar was thinking and he remembers the time that he almost drowned just before they met Midnight. He remembers struggling for his life and how nothing had been clear in his head. While he may not have felt what Tallstar did he thinks that he might have not had the clearest head given that he was fighting sickness and infection.

He voices these thoughts to Hawkfrost and he agrees. Hawkfrost says that he feels bad for Mudclaw, because if he was in that situation where he was deputy and it got stolen away from him. He would be angry.

Brambleclaw believes that even though he thinks Mudclaw is a bit abrasive given what he heard from Crowpaw having to train with him. Mudclaw still deserves to know what his leader's final words were. So on the way down from the city to the lake, he and Hawkfrost tell him everything. Mudclaw is conflicted by this.

Brambleclaw begins to believe that Mudclaw has changed. He is on patrol with Hawkfrost, Mudclaw, Onewhisker and two shadowclan warriors he didn't know when a dragon ambushed them, Onewhisker is pinned down by the dragon but Mudclaw is there to stab it in the back.

Hawkfrost comments that Onewhisker is weak. But Brambleclaw is offended on his behalf.

Squirrelflight, after avoiding Brambleclaw since they left the mountain camp for the city, confesses to him. He confesses his own feelings. He says that he thinks that she is pretty amazing, talented and beautiful. But neither of them know where to go from here. So they agree to keep acting like they did when they were friends but kiss sometimes.

Squirrelflight alludes to Hawkfrost giving her the "if you mess with my brother kill you" speech.

When he next sees his brother he thanks him. He would never picture Tawnypelt doing that for him even though when she started dating Rowanclaw he was nervous for her but the only person that he could think of that would care enough about him to say that would be Squirrelflight.

Brambleclaw did have a friend in Thunderclan when he was younger, Ashpaw being almost as age but when Ashpaw became Ashfur they stopped hanging. And though he had an adversarial relationship with Squirrelpaw she was still the only real person in Thunderclan that would look out for him. Beside of course Firestar and Goldenflower.

Hawkfrost and him talk about the siblings. Brambleclaw asks about Mothwing and Hawkfrost admits that he was cruel to her once but is trying to understand who she really is. And while he respects her skill he knows her well enough that he feels she could be doing better.

Brambleclaw says he misses Tawnypelt but when she went to Shadowclan he feels like she never looked back. And after the journey had finished she went straight back to how things used to be that really upset him. Hawkfrost says that won't happen to them, he promises to meet with Brambleclaw every gathering and exchange letters even when they find the new territory.

And when they do find a new territory, Hawkfrost and him find the island. They walk along the island and plan Riverclan camp. 

When the clans settle Hawkfrost writes a letter to Bramble. He sneaks out of Squirrelflight's tent and meets Hawkfrost on WC territory. Hawkfrost introduces Brambleclaw to Mudclaw and his loyalists and asks Brambleclaw to tell them exactly what Tallstar said.

Brambleclaw is trying to sneak back to camp when he is caught by Firestar. He is honest with Firestar not about Mudclaw but about meeting with his brother. Firestar doesn't approve doesn't want to stop Brambleclaw from seeing his family. He says that Bramble is unique having his family spread out over so many clans he tells him that he can keep seeing them as long as he gets better at sneaking out.

Brambleclaw is ready for the battle, he confirms with Mudclaw that no one has to die, they only need Onewhisker to give power back to Mudclaw. The battle begins and Brambleclaw is a bit nervous how violent it is quickly becoming. When he fights he tries to disarm instead of kill but he knows the Onewhisker loyalists are probably fighting for their lives.

However he stopped in his tracks when he saw one of Mudclaw's warriors seriously injure Crowfeather. Brambleclaw is in shock even more so when Mudclaw tries to kill Onewhisker. He quickly intervenes, Mudclaw is a strong senior warrior and he is not willing to miss his chance and Brambleclaw is not as strong.

But Thunderclan attacks and the tides of the battle were quickly turned. Mudclaw calls a retreat and Brambleclaw runs with them. However as soon as they are away from the battle Mudclaw blames Brambleclaw for Thunderclan being alerted to their plan. Decides to deal with the traitor.

Squirrelflight joins the battle against the Mudclaw loyalists. As the warriors dispersed she runs into Hawkfrost, apparently in a frenzy he demands Squirrelflight tell him where his brother is. Before she can answer him he turns his blade on her.

Squirrelflight explains that she doesn't know where his brother is and they both go looking for him. Following the retreating faction.

The two of them raced down to the shores of the lake. There they find Mudclaw surrounded by his loyalists as he attempts to drown Brambleclaw. And though there are only two of them, Hawkfrost immediately leaps into battle to protect his brother. Reedwhisker is there and takes Hawkfrost's side.

Squirrelflight fights to the best of her abilities but the three of them are outnumbered but despite this Hawkfrost is fighting with a brutality that she has never seen before.

Hawkfrost leaps at Mudclaw and gets him off Brambleclaw. Squirrelflight drags him to shore and Mudclaw runs. Hawkfrost pursues him but as his running lightning strikes, casting a tree down from the island offshore.

It kills Mudclaw.

Squirrelflight manages to get Brambleclaw breathing slowly. But barely awake. Hawkfrost marches back to them and demands to know why Reedwhisker let Mudclaw do that to his brother. Reedwhisker tries to explain that he tried to stop Mudclaw but before he can get many words out Hawkfrost is on top of him and punching him until he is bloody and stops moving.

Squirrelflight is horrified.

When Brambleclaw wakes up he is in Thunderclan he is in a cove cave that got converted into the new medic den. Bramble notices Leafpool crying slightly as he comes to ask what's wrong and she dismisses him.

Brambleclaw is yelled at by a furious Firestar, he tries to explain his side of the story but Firestar easily explains how what he was doing could have easily gotten him and Onewhisker killed. Brambleclaw says that he was promised by Mudclaw that nobody would be seriously harmed and that he was just doing what he thought was right.

Firestar bans him from seeing Hawkfrost for two moons.

Brambleclaw is devastated. He goes to seek comfort from Squirrelflight about this but she is completely unsympathetic, she tells Brambleclaw how violent and uncontrollable Hawkfrost was. But Brambleclaw defends him because Hawkfrost saved his life. Squirrelflight points out that Hawk is the one who got him into that situation where his life was in danger again.

Brambleclaw accuses her of hating Hawkfrost because he spends time away from her when he is with him and she doesn't like that. So she unreasonably hates his brother. Or maybe it’s that she hates him because is another son of Tigerstar. 

Squirrelflight accuses him of being insecure and making things up. And Brambleclaw insecurely breaks up with her.

Brambleclaw has to stay in camp for two moons and he is absolutely miserable.

Things have settled down slightly in Windclan. Until Onewhisker became Onestar Thunderclan had to guard against Mudclaw loyalists. And eventually the people who sided with Mudclaw came back to WIndclan; they are only allowed to back in after swearing loyalty to the true leader.

Crowfeather was recovering from his wounds the whole time and writing letters to Leafpool. Though he hasn't got any back.

It's a joint effort between Windclan and Riverclan to make a bridge from the tree that had fallen and killed Mudclaw. And another moon before it is ready to cross. Messages are passed between the leaders and it is agreed that this would be the new gathering place.

Squirrelflight is a part of the first group representing Thunderclan to go to this gathering. On the way they are however Thunderclan joins up with Windclan and she notices that tensions are not recovered. She hears a few warriors in front of her talking about how Onestar and Friestar are walking very close together. And they're wondering if Onestar is spilling all of his clan secrets to his friend.

Squirrelflight challenges them but is told by those same warriors to leave Windclan alone.

Before they can make it to the gathering spot however they are interrupted, there is a group of three people, one man and two women, one heavily pregnant. And lots and lots of horses.

After some questioning, the tom introduces himself as Smoky and introduces his "companions" for them. Floss and Daisy are offended that Smoky is speaking for them but Smoky goes on to challenge the clans. He is a horse breeder and the lake is where he takes them in the summer months. So if the clans don't want to trade with him the better get out of his way before he kills them all.

Onestar and Firestar do not rise to this but both of them suggest that Smoky and his companions come with them to the gathering because there are many more clan cats that might be willing to trade with him.

Smoky decides to go with them and tosses his things to Daisy and Floss without saying another word. Squirrelflight feels kinda bad for them.

They have to wait outside of the island while everybody goes on to it. She is one of the last across the bridge and talks to Daisy and Floss. Floss is not willing to give her the time of day but Daisy tells her that they are fine and that she is fine and she even introduces Squirrelflight to a baby she has. She introduces her to a tiny baby called Berry, that she was keeping hidden under her clothes.

Floss comments that it's a stupid name for a baby and Daisy laughs that off. Squirrelflight calls Floss a choice name and walks across the bridge to the gathering.

The gathering is pretty uneventful but Thunderclan comes away with it with a few new rides, small horse-like elk and a few woolly goats.

Leafpool has thought a lot about what Crowfeather offered her. She realises that she has deep and true feelings for him and does spend a lot of time while she's been punished. Much like Brambleclaw by not being allowed to leave the cove.

She had a strange dream though, the sun sinking beneath the lake and from the red water rising a body. She works out and turns it over and sees Spottedleaf who rises. She says: “before there is peace blood will spill blood.” 

She is shaken by this but decides to bring him up with Cinderpelt later.

Brambleclaw is furious he still has not been allowed out of camp, and now he has to work round the clock for the new animals that Thunderclan purchased. Squirrelflight tries to talk to him but he refuses her.

Goldenflower is helping him and they are doing a pretty good job making stables and getting the animal settled. Brambleclaw begins to ask her about if she saw Hawkfrost or Tawnypelt. But at the mention of her daughter's name she acts strangely. Goldenflower looks around and realises that Tawnykit isn't with them when she swore she saw her earlier this morning.

Brambleclaw is concerned. He brings Goldenflower to Cinderpelt and she is able to help Goldenflower come back to herself. She apologises for scaring Brambleclaw so he grabs food for them both.

He lets Goldenflower talk about things she remembers from the old forest. There is a moment where before Brokenstar came to power in the old forest that Thunderclan had a rich amount of livestock. But unfortunately illness took them out.

Inadvertently she ends up talking about his father, she says that she was determined to get livestock back, and one day there was a cow that was struggling to give birth. Tigerclaw had been the only one around that was able to help her, and he was not pleased with having to help a cow pass a calf, she stopped herself. Before she goes any further.

Goldenflower says that she did see Hawkfrost and that he asked how Brambleclaw was doing. She says that she envies him because he never had to know Brambleclaw's father.

When the two moons are up Brambleclaw is allowed out of the camp but only on patrols with Firestar in them. Brambleclaw just feels like an apprentice again. But is able to find peace when he is hanging out with his mother and training the new animals.

The horse-elk can also be shaved like sheep can. And he is sharing the animals when there is a sudden commotion. A patrol is demanding help because there is a badgerbear den that they found on their territory. It's a bear with her kits and if they don't strike now it could be a problem for them later.

Brambleclaw is part of the patrol that is able to kill the badgerbear mother. They decide to keep one of the kits as a clan pet.

A moon later Brambleclaw is hanging out in camp, reading a letter from Hawkfrost (now Firestar is letting him read the letters Hawkfrost sends him). Hawkfrost wants to meet again as soon as possible but Brambleclaw is unsure will be able to so he writes back to. Brambleclaw notices that Whitekit is playing with Birchkit. He is up and walking now and can't really talk.

Brambleclaw senses later than joins them. Whitekit explains that she is trying to teach Brichkit some battle moves. Brambleclaw comments that he is a bit young to learn that stuff. So he takes them to see the animals and his newly renovated stable. He shows the kids how to brush the animals, and after they beg him to, he lets them ride around camp on the back of one of the horse-elks.

Whitekit tells him about how she always wanted to ride the dragons in the tribe but no one would let her. Brambleclaw tells her that he has been on the back of a dragon and Whitekit begins to scream about the unfairness of it all. So Brambleclaw jumps on the back of the elk, he holds on to Whitekit and Birchkit tightly and makes the elk run out of camp and into the forest. Whitekit has the time of her life. Birchkit isn't too bothered by the whole experience.

Brambleclaw wants to be a mentor. He goes to Firestar to ask about being a mentor when he is stopped by Squirrelflight. She is also going to see her father so Brambleclaw just turns around to find something else to do.

A few days later he gets a letter back from Hawkfrost. He is mad at Brambleclaw for not even trying to meet up with him. Brambleclaw quickly writes a letter back that he will try to meet up with him next time he can.

Spiderpaw becomes Spiderleg.

Leafpool has a dream, Firestar is by the lake brambles grow out from his chest and surround him. Though he seems indifferent. She tells her father this. He seems concerned but also intrigued; they both wonder if this is a sign from Starclan about Brambleclaw. Leafpool doesn't trust him especially after seeing him in Windclan camp the same night she was and the fact that he is fighting Squirrelflight.

Sorreltail visits the medic's den. She is ready to start a family with Brackenfur, while Cinderpelt is discussing with her herb she can use to help get pregnant she excitedly talks to Leafpool about baby names and little baby clothes. The conversation makes Leafpool feel sick.

She steps out in walks across camp to the cove shore. Still feeling a bit ill she dips her feet in the waves and Brambleclaw joins her. He stays far away from water though. He asks if she's okay. Leafpool says that she is fine and she asks how his mother is doing.

Brambleclaw says that luckily nothing else concerning has happened. She has been keeping busy taking care of the animals and fixing up the camp. He's actually been helping her put together a union celebration for Sorreltail and Brackenfur. (It's a clan tradition kind of like a wedding but it's just a party to celebrate people in a relationship committing to each other). Sorreltail and Brackenfur decided to commit to each other when they decided to have children together.

Brambleclaw sneaks out during the Sorreltail and Brackenfur's party. He meets Hawkfrost on Shadowclan territory. Hawkfrost is mad at him. Brambleclaw started to excuse himself. He was in camp, he was being watched, etc. Hawkfrost attacks him, they wrestle and Brambleclaw manages to fight him off. Hawkfrost laughs and says that he was just testing his skills, since he has been lazing around camp all day.

They agree to meet up again soon.

Leafpool is finally allowed back at the Moonpool. Mothwing is very happy to see her again and wonders why Leafpool was banned from the Moonpool and Gatherings. Leafpool doesn't tell her the truth.

Leafpool doesn't go to sleep to dream with Starclan, instead she sits up because she hears someone calling her name. Crowfeather has snuck out to see her. He offers again for them to run away and this Leafpool thinks back to Sorreltail, her talking about Brackenfur and babies. She looks back to the Medic's around the moonpool. She loves being a medic but also loves Crowfeather and she knows that she can't be those two things at the same time.

Leafpool agrees to run away with him.

Crowfeather writes a note to his mother explaining that he fell in love with somebody while running away. He is the happiest he's ever been and he thinks she's gonna be a great leader one day. He tells her not to miss him because he's happy.

As Crowfeather is packing his things to leave, Barkface catches him again. But this time he is much less supportive. He knows what's going on between him and Leafpool. He calls into question Crowfeather's motivations and she is worried that he is doing this for himself and not considering Leafpool's feelings.

Crowfeather wants to start a family with her and the clients won't let him do so he is doing what makes him happy. And points out that Leafpool leaving wouldn't be leaving with him if she didn't want that to.

Squirrelflight is looking for Leafpool. She can't find her anywhere. Cinderpelt tells her about Crowfeather. Squirrelflight immediately travels over to Windclan in search of Crowfeather. Barkface leaves a letter that Crowfeather said was Leafpool.

Leafpool tells Squirrelflight all the things that she loves about her, her father, her mother and her time living at Thunderclan. But she found love and she can't have those things at the same time because Starclan forbids it.  She wants to have a family like they have made. So she's leaving. She promises to come back one day to visit her.

Brambleclaw is out on patrol. He is with Ashfur and Thornclaw, and their following tracks of another badgerbear. They wonder if keeping the one kit alive is attracting more. Brambleclaw jokes about taming it and riding it into battle. When suddenly they are interrupted. They see a dragon landing nearby. Ashfur and Thornclaw suggest tactically sneaking up on it but Brambleclaw just walks up to it suspecting and then seeing that it is Brook's dragon Tiger-Iron. Brook and Stormfur are camping nearby.

Brambleclaw leads them back to camp. Stormfur explains that they're going to stay with the clans for a while. He is a bit cagey when Brambleclaw asks for how long. But they spend the night in Thunderclan, Brambleclaw catches up with his friends in the morning before they fly on to Riverclan.

Brambleclaw and Goldenflower what's the purpose of keeping the badgerbear kit. But they feed it and clean up after it. Brambleclaw suggests trying to teach it cat language. And from that day they try their best to teach the kit words.

The next gathering, Squirrelflight notices Smoky is there again trying to sell more of the stock and eventually a Shadowclan warrior comes up to and accuses him of scamming. He was supposed to be sold a pregnant pig but what you got was a fat boar.

Smoky blames the warrior for not seeing through the trick. And he is asked to leave by a large group of warriors.

Shadowclan reports having to fight with a large badgerbear. They successfully drove it out of their territory but they have been seeing signs of more bears.

Squirrelflight is asked to send Brambleclaw to Firestar. She finds in the stables with the bear. The kit is beginning to learn some words: "want", "food" and "I". Squirrelflight and Brambleclaw suggest naming it Sunset in honour of Midnight. They both agree it's kind of strange to keep the kit but because the mother was killed the only other option is letting them loose in the forest.

Brambleclaw is given a letter that Firestar tells him is from Hawkfrost. There is a shark in the lake and Hawkfrost is asking for his brother's help in hunting down and killing it.

Firestar says that it is up to Brambleclaw for what he wants to do.

Brambleclaw wants to help. And leaves for Riverclan.

Squirrelflight is patrolling near Windclan. When a horse is chased across the border. Windclan warriors are in hot pursuit, led by Onestar. On the horse is Floss and Daisy. Onestar spits at them and tells them never to cross Windclan territory. Squirrelflight and the other Thunderclan cats stand up for them and Onestar himself calls them too soft and weak to be outsiders to the clan.

Squirrelflight is shocked but she is distracted because on the horse Daisy is clearly in a lot of pain. They rush her back to camp and to Cinderpelt. Daisy asks for Squirrelflight to stay with her and she does. According to her she has been in labour for two days and Floss eventually took her to the clans to be looked at at least. Cinderpelt is horrified.

She knocks Daisy out and performs an emergency c-section with the help of the other queens. Hazelkit and Mousekit are born. Alive but weak. Squirrelflight stays with Daisy until she comes around. Floss is worried that Smoky is going to leave without them. But Daisy needs rest. Squirrelflight tells her as much but Floss calls her lazy and Squirrelflight is about to yell at her when Daisy yells at Floss herself.

According to Cinderpelt she could have died. And Floss did nothing until Daisy was begging for help. So they can leave without her. Floss tries to get Daisy to come with them. Saying that Smoky will be so lonely without her and his kid- Barry or was his name Bear. Daisy tells her to get out and Squirrelflight gladly shows her the door.

Brambleclaw and Hawkfrost are hunting the shark. He thinks that it swam upstream from the ocean and came to the lake for a reason. It is huge and there are plenty of fish. But Starclan blessed the clan with him and his brother because they can hunt down the beast before it hurts anybody.

Hawkfrost tells him that he was watching Willowkit and her friend Minnowkit swim when he saw the fin and pulled them out of the water. The shark wasn’t around for a few days but he was able to see it. Large with a white belly and dark grey stripes.

They call it a tiger shark.

Initially Hawkfrost's old friends Reedwhisker and Voletooth help them try to track down the shark. They manage to catch it but the thrashing breaks Reed's boat and they have to jump onto Hawkfrost's boat. Hawkfrost tells Reedwhisker that they are going to keep going.

But they refuse, tired of Hawkfrost putting them in danger. Hawkfrost is about to escalate when Brambleclaw calms him down. The next day Hawkfrost tries to teach Brambleclaw how to pilot the boat but he isn't good at it. Brambleclaw hangs out with Stormfur and Brook Hawkfrost tries to hang out with them but there is some sort of unspoken tension between them. 

While they are planning on ways to catch the shark. A few Riverclan cats comment that if Bramble was going to stay and eat their food and sleep in their beds that he should pitch in helping them build a village.

They are building more out to the lake. Hawkfrost tells them to get lost but Brambleclaw offers to help. He helps them build main hall for Riverclan to eat and dock their boats. The people who are helping comment that he is "more friendly" than his brother. Brambleclaw sticks up for his brother.

A few days later, Brambleclaw is carrying supplies between the docks. He notices an apprentice Beechpaw fishing when Bramble asks him to move; he doesn't, Bramble has to shimmy by. But as he walks past he notices him catching a fish, apparently a big one. But as he is reeling it in Brambleclaw sees the flash of a fin in the water. The tiger shark grabs Beechpaw's catch and drags him into the water.

Brambleclaw freezes. Beechpaw tries to swim back to the camp. Bramble wants to jump in and help them out but it's the water, and he remembers swimming against the waves and being taken under, he remembers Mudclaw forcing his head under the lake.

Beechpaw is taken suddenly under the water and Brambleclaw jumps in. He sees blood but swims through it; he grabs the apprentice and breaks the surface. Hawkfrost and a few other warriors are there to pull him and Beechpaw onto the docks. Beechpaw is unconscious but as they check him over the sea horrified that the shark had bitten his tail off.

They rush into the medical house but they can't find Mothwing anywhere. Willowkit is there drawing. Hawkfrost demands to know where his sister is. She says that she went to Thunderclan to talk to Cinderpelt.

The Warriors do their best to stabilise Beechpaw until Mothwing gets back. They clean up and put pressure on the wound until it stops bleeding. Mothwing rushes back. She clears everybody out of the house to properly treat Beechpaw.

That night the clan is discussing how to catch the shark. Leopardstar does not want to take time away from the building of the camp because many warriors are still sleeping on the shore or in tents. It was why she allowed Hawkfrost to call Brambleclaw for help.

Hawkfrost tells them how he has been trying to kill the shark that keeps getting away. Brook suggests a tribal method of hunting it. In the tribe they would chase down herds of deer, the rider would have a spear attached to rope and they would throw it at the deer. This was to slow it down so their dragon could pounce on it.

She suggests making something buoyant so that it will float to the surface that way they could always track the tiger shark. And stab it until it dies. Brambleclaw is surprised by her ingenuity and asks her to help them but she takes one look at Hawkfrost and politely declines. She and her dragon are helping build anyways she is responsible for critical support beams in the houses.

Brambleclaw overhears Hawkfrost talking with Leopardstar that night. Hawk wants Leopard to punish Mothwing because she was out of clan territory when they needed her. Leopardstar strongly disagrees Mothwing would have had no idea of Beechpaw's condition and when she heard she came straight back to the territory. And she will not punish Mothwing for something that she couldn't foresee.

Hawkfrost yells at her he says that she is only taking Mothwing's side because Mothwing is her daughter and since he is not her son she would punish him if he did the same. Leopardstar corrects him. She says Mothwing isn't skipping important duties to spend time with her brother  or scheme in other clan's politics.Unlike Hawk. 

While she is proud that Hawkfrost wanted to fix an injustice that he saw, he put his fellow clan mates in danger and worsened the relationship between Riverclan and Windclan. Afterall a Windclan warrior injured Reedwhisker so badly that he almost lost his eye. And that's part of the reason no one wants to help Hawkfrost with the tiger shark.

Hawkfrost storms out of the leader's house.

Brambleclaw visits Mothwing and Beechpaw. Beechpaw is up and is gonna spend the night in the medic's house. He just has to spend the whole time on his stomach while his tail heals. Willowkit is keeping them company and they're both drawing on the floor.

Brambleclaw asks if Mothwing went to Thunderclan to find Leafpool. Mothwing admits that she wanted to find out what happened to her. She says that she got answers but she can't repeat them.

Brambleclaw asks her about Willowkit and Mothwing says that she thinks that either Willowkit's mother thinks that the medic's house is a playground or Willowkit has decided that she likes Mothwing. Brambleclaw suggests that Mothwing might have a new apprentice soon. And Mothwing admits nervously that she thought about that too. She says that she doesn't know the first thing about being a teacher so she's worried about being a mentor.  To her Mudfur was the best cat in the world. But she supposes the only thing that changed is that he isn't around anymore.

Brambleclaw admits that his relationship with his mentor used to be that way. He now wonders if Firestar even trusts him anymore.

Squirrelflight witnesses Sootfur and Rainwhisker's Warrior ceremonies. Squirrelflight has also been keeping a close eye on Daisy. Her kids are doing much better, but Cinderpelt had to do surgery on Berrykit. Because there is something wrong with his legs. She had to amputate his tail but he is walking now.

She sees a fierce warrior in him and wants to be his mentor. Daisy is nervous about him becoming a warrior. While she is grateful for being taken in she's a bit hesitant about the whole clan thing.

Squirrelflight is waiting for a patrol to gather up for her to go on when there is a commotion at the stables. Goldenflower doesn't recognise Spiderleg and she is accusing him of being an intruder trying to steal their livestock. Mousefur is nearby and is able to calm her down, she explains that Spiderleg is the child of Ferncloud and Dustpelt and slowly she remembers him.

Mousefur takes her to Cinderpelt. Squirrelflight is worried about her.

Brambleclaw and Voletooth make a flotation device and attach it to a sharpened metal pole. They add a barb to its will stick in the shark skin. Brambleclaw asks Voletooth to come with him and Hawkfrost but he doesn't want to after what he did to Reedwhisker.

Brambleclaw and Hawk charm the water with leftovers. They wait a while but eventually the shark shows up. They get with the pole the flotation device works. They are able to track it and shoot it with arrows and bolts. The shark tries to attack their boat but thanks to Hawk's training Bramble is able to outmanoeuvre the shark and chase it out of the lake and down a river between the Shadowclan and Riverclan border.

Hawkfrost wants to go after it but Brambleclaw doesn't. Hawkfrost takes the oars from him and they go down the river anyways.

Squirrelflight is out with Ashfur. She is out hunting him expertly, when they began the patrol he playfully dared her to out hunt him. Maybe he underestimated how competitive she was. Ashfur isn't a challenge to her at all, and it seems like he gives up hunting her.

Since he lost Squirrelflight decides his fate and she asks him to cook her an excellent dinner with the food that she caught.

Brambleclaw has a fight with Hawkfrost and he accuses him of being just like Leopardstar is trying to do his best to protect the clan. To do the right thing but every time he does the right thing someone gets hurt. And he needs to get the tiger before it hurts anybody else.

They moor the boat.

Hawkfrost has a bit of a panic attack, Brambleclaw is there to calm him down. When Hawkfrost feels slightly better he admits that he's been trying so hard because when he was a kit he failed someone badly.

They camp out on the river shore for the night. Hawkfrost tells Brambleclaw about Tadpolekit. He was Mothkit's twin. Sasha had been on the road since he was born because of the fall of Bloodclan. But she made her way to the clans to find safety. She ended up in Riverclan thinking that it would have better then Shadowclan who would have probably recognised her but Leopardstar almost immediately recognised her. She didn't know that technically, Tigerstar and Leopardstar had a political marriage from it came Moth and Tadpole.

He felt pretty out of place in Riverclan and properly would have never left his mother's side if it wasn't for Tadpole deciding to be best friends with him. He would always say that they were brothers so they should spend as much time together as they could.

Hawk had been born a year after them and was always smaller and weaker but Tadpolekit encouraged him not to let that stop him. It was a few days before they were going to be apprenticed and Sasha took them out to the river to play. Hawk chased Tadpole. Tadpole had stopped because he was at the edge of the river but Hawkkit couldn't stop and they both fell into the river.

Sasha jumped in after them and she was only able to pull out Hawkkit. The clan blamed her for Tadpole's death. And she had to leave but Leopardstar let him stay behind.

He felt abandoned and never wanted to feel that again. So he tried to protect Mothwing but now she hates him. So now he just feels weak. 

Brambleclaw understands now why he values their relationship that much. He tells him that he felt like his world was ending when Tawnypaw left when he was kit. And he was too young to understand completely what she was doing. He can't even imagine what Hawk went through.

He promises to help him kill the shark.

The next morning they fix the boat and continued on the river taking them through a for half flooded city. They see the floaty but it clearly got snagged on some city wreckage. Now they can’t track the shark accurately. So they retrieve it and tie it to another medal pole.

Hawkfrost goes swimming, but doesn't see anything. Brambleclaw doesn't want to go in the water. He is still nervous about it. He sees blood in the water and paddles over to Hawkfrost. He jumps out, his shoulder got caught on some wreckage and it's bleeding slightly.

They find a sort of cove that they theorise they could trap the shark in. Hawkfrost plans to out swim around and lure it with his cut shoulder. Brambleclaw says it's a very stupid idea and puts him needlessly at risk. But Hawkfrost is confident that Brambleclaw will be there to save him.

But he is planning to do it for Brambleclaw to tie a rope around him and when he pulls on it to pull him back to the cove as fast as possible. When the shark swims in they will trap and kill it. Bramble waits nervously for Hawk to tug on the rope and when he does he reels him in as fast as he possibly can.

The shark is in hot pursuit. Bramble pulls him into the cover. The shark is fast enough to catch Hawkfrost just as he enters the cove. As soon as Brambleclaw sees blood he pushes the ruins over the cove's entrance and they fall. The shark isn't trapped inside of the cove, it's under the rubble and struggling quickly to escape. Brambleclaw pulls Hawk back onto the boat; he has wounds along his arm, chest and leg. The blood is running from the boat and into the cove and the shark gets free of the rubble. Brambleclaw sees it swim past them and try to find a way out of the cove; he picks up Hawkfrost's sword and slices it when it goes past.

The shark circles once and then tips over their boat and they go into the water. Brambleclaw feels the panic set in. Hawkfrost's blood is all around him and he can see the shark very clearly. The broken arrows in its side, the stripes. It swims for them both but Brambleclaw realises he is still holding Hawk’s sword. The shark opens its mouth but Brambleclaw is faster. He drives the sword through its mouth and into its brain. It closes its mouth around his arm and shoulder. But it is dead.

Squirrelflight notices that the only real cat Daisy is getting along with is Cloudtail. They met when he was introducing Whitekit to the babies. And they've been hanging out a lot recently, she overhears Cloudtail talking about his past in the clans. He explains they used to be a lot less accepting of new people, now they are very open to outsiders. He thinks it's largely because of Firestar, he was born an outsider but he ascended the ranks of leader very quickly.

Squirrelflight hopes that doesn't scare Daisy off. But what she is more worried about is the fact that she witnesses Spiderleg tell Daisy to her face to run back wherever she came from. She challenges him to a fight but Sootfur intervenes and takes Spiderleg away to "calm down".

She is ranting about this to Ashfur. And he clearly makes a comment that he doesn't mean to. "I wish you would just kiss me." Squirrelflight is caught off guard by this. She accuses him of not listening to her at all. He apologises but Squirrelflight looks at him up and down and says "do you want to kiss me?".

Brambleclaw and Hawkfrost are alive but the journey home isn't easy though they are both in pain they are insistent on bringing the shark back. Takes them longer to get back to the territories then it did define the city but even as they are bleeding and bruised. They are in very high spirits.

When Mothwing sees them both she is in shock. She has them both eat lots of fruit, drink lots of water and stitches at their wounds. She tells them that they are definitely going to get scars. But they both seem to like the idea. Mothwing tells them that they're insane.

Riverclan feasts on shark. Brambleclaw and Hawkfrost are heroes for a little while. During one night after a very delicious shark-themed feast. Hawkfrost says that he is going to miss Brambleclaw. And Bramble says the same. So he's not going to leave until his wounds are healed.

They sit on the docks, and talk. Hawkfrost would like to be a hero. He wants to be respected by Riverclan but feels being born a rogue will leave people always questioning him. Brambleclaw says that shouldn’t stop him. How other people feel. Brambleclaw has dealt with enough people thinking he will turn out like his father. 

Hawkfrost says that it feels like he is the only one who is willing to do the right thing. But he wonders if that is what his father thought. Brambleclaw doesn’t know. 

Brambleclaw helps out in Riverclan for a while, taking it easy but helping them build and fish. Though he is terrible at fishing. When he isn't hanging out with Hawkfrost he is hanging out with Stormfur or Brook.

He asked them why they don't like Hawkfrost. They say that he tried to fake a prophecy to get them kicked out of the clan. 

Brambleclaw doesn't believe it. But Brook said that one day she walked in on him threatening Mothwing. Mothwing seemed very upset about it but it was none of Brook's business. But Hawk thought that she had caught him so threatened to kill her. Mothwing diffused the situation. And after he stormed off Mothwing explained everything. Which Brook didn't like because she never asked. But she supposes it was always good to know who was trying to get her kicked out of the clan.

Stormfur confirms what she said. Because he confronted Hawkfrost about it. Hawkfrost tried to lie to him but eventually told him that "he had his chance in Riverclan".

Brambleclaw doesn't want to bring this up to is brother but one night he catches him on guard duty. He asks about it. Hawkfrost lies. Brambleclaw can tell that he is lying and he confronts him. And Hawkfrost says that he believes that their father made a mistake sparing Stormfur. He didn't even attempt to come to Riverclan to warn them about the earthquake; he just went straight back to Thunderclan and his father. He also doesn't trust someone that is willing to abandon their clan for a partner. He doesn't like him because he has no loyalties.

Brook as well, her dragon eats up a lot of prey and it scares away a lot of the deer in their territory when it flies overhead. It's not worth the good that it does.

Brambleclaw doesn't want to believe what he's hearing. But he asks about Mothwing. And Hawkfrost blows up at him. Because it's always about Mothwing- poor little innocent Moth who gets away with everything despite the fact that she is a medic that doesn't believe in Starclan, that he had to help become a medic because she would be useless otherwise. And even though he made that sacrifice for her- of faking a sign from Starclan for her she won't even repay him when he asks.

Brambleclaw just walks away from him and goes to ask if Mothwing had ever had to fake another sign from Starclan to please Hawkfrost. She tells him that the one time he wanted her to fake a dream that Leopardstar should be wary of Mistyfoot. That if she didn't then he would tell the whole clan that she didn't believe in Starclan which would probably force her out of being a medic.

Brambleclaw is livid. He may not understand not believing in Starclan that was blackmail.

He plans to leave soon he packs up as things and in the morning. Hawkfrost tries to convince him to stay but he is insistent that he is going to go back to Thunderclan. However that afternoon he is saying his goodbyes to friends that he made, to his sister there is a commotion in the River House.

Hawkfrost was with Brook and they were chasing deer but because her dragon showed up the deer ran off. He blows up at her saying that she is not suited to clan life. He screamed at her and gets up in her face. Leopardstar tells him to stand down when Brook's dragon comes to defend her. The dragon is obviously much larger and stronger than Hawkfrost and pins him down.

Leopardstar sends Hawkfrost but tells Brook that if she can't control her dragon then she has to leave. Brambleclaw interrupts and insists he is going back to Thunderclan anyways. He will gladly take his friends off Riverclan's hands.

When Brambleclaw gets back. He sees Squirrelflight and Ashfur walking hand-in-hand. She is surprised to see him. She says that she thought that he had moved to Riverclan for good. Brambleclaw admits that he saw that too. But he brought "gifts". and he takes her and Ashfur to Brook and Stormfur.

The next gathering Brambleclaw runs into Hawkfrost. And Hawkfrost apologises to him.This upsets Brambleclaw because Hawk should be apologising to him he should be apologising to his sister, Reedwhisker and Brook. He walks away from him.

Windclan claims that it has seen signs of Thunderclan cats on their side of the border. Firestar tries to talk this out peacefully but Onestar insists on escalating this.

Brambleclaw thinks he is over correcting. Tawnypelt meets him, and introduces him to her new boyfriend Rowanclaw. It takes a moment to comprehend what this means. He has met Rowanclaw before. But he is glad to meet her new boyfriend.

Squirrelflight sits next to Brambleclaw as Thunderclan begins to pack up. This may just talk about how things have been going. Squirrelflight is worried about Leafpool. And suggests that she and Brambleclaw run away together to find them. They both laugh at this.

Ashfur doesn't find it funny and asks Brambleclaw if you can move so he can sit next to his girlfriend. Brambleclaw looks at Squirrelflight and asks if that's okay with her. She says Brambleclaw can do what he wants and he says that he likes sitting next to his friend.

Ashfur speculates on whether he really means "friend". And that's when Brambleclaw gives up his seat. Before he leaves she says to Squirrelflight to enjoy her night with her other friend. Ashfur is angry.

Hawkfrost keeps riding to Brambleclaw but he ignores them. He busies himself with work around camp. With Goldenflower Sunset has really been making progress is learning how to speak cat. Though one time Sunset said, "Want. I." then pointed to a woolly goat with its kid.

Brambleclaw just feels bad.

One day a clan meeting is called. Firestar reflects how it's been more than two years since Graystripe disappeared. So it's time for him to choose a new deputy. And he chooses Brambleclaw. He is surprised but Firestar explains that his daughter told him about a message sent to her by Starclan. Of bramble protecting. 

The clan is divided on this. 

The next gathering, Hawkfrost, comes to Brambleclaw again. He apologises and says that he understands now what he did wrong. Brambleclaw counters that he clearly hasn't because he still hasn't apologised to those who need it.

Hawkfrost asks to be taken back to Thunderclan to apologise to Stormfur and Brook himself. Bramble doesn't agree immediately; instead he goes and finds Mothwing. She says that Hawkfrost had apologised to her. She thanks Bramble for whatever he said to him to make apologise.

So that gathering he just sits and talks with Hawkfrost. And they catch up.

Being a deputy is difficult and he feels like he doesn’t know what he is doing. Firestar is there to help though. And it feels good like it was when he was first apprenticed to him. He feels trusted again. 

Hawkfrost once again becomes his space to go to worry about nothing. They meet whenever they can. For a few moons. 

He invites Hawkfrost to Thunderclan. He sees Brook first and says that he regrets what he said to her. She accepts this and he goes to find Stormfur. They have a bit more of an argument but Stormfur accepts his apology but doesn't forgive him.

Hawkfrost takes this well. Brambleclaw is impressed. Squirrelflight comes over to them and asks what Hawkfrost is doing in Thunderclan and they are truthful. Hawkfrost doesn't apologise to Squirrelflight. But he does show her the matching scars that he and Brambleclaw now have because of the tiger shark.

Squirrelflight thinks they're cool and goes on her way. Brambleclaw shows him the stables. Hawkfrost says that Bramble shouldn't be wasting his time here. He's a strong warrior so he should be doing what warriors do. He says that is not a farmer, he is now a deputy. 

Brambleclaw says that he really enjoys farming. But he stops when he sees his mother.

Goldenflower is inside and she's having a panic attack. Brambleclaw goes over to her and he can't understand what's wrong.

While Brambleclaw is calming his mother down. Hawkfrost decides to talk with the badgerbear kit. He passes it and a note that says, I help get your parents to you if you can tell me where I can find them. Sunset writes down where he knows his father is.

Leafpool is relaxing on the grass outside of a cottage. She was gardening but the sky was clear and the breeze was nice and there is some peace and quiet for a little bit. So she decided to lay on the grass and closed her eyes. She wakes up slowly, looks into the window of the cottage, smiles and goes back to gardening.

Crowfeather and she had travelled for nights. The plan was to make it back to the Tribe. To get a map and see where they live but on the way there they found this cottage and decided that's where they were staying.

They did what they could to repair the cottage but it took a lot of work. And unfortunately Crowfeather had to do a lot of the hard work himself. But the cottage is very comfortable and she has a garden that is flourishing. Crowfeather comes back from his hunt. She sees his raven, who flies over to meet her. He's been successful in his caught a hare and two pheasants. They get to work preparing a fire and begin to cook their meals.

Leafpool kisses him and comments on his cooking skills. And how they've improved since they've been living there. Just as they are settling in for the night the door is caved in. Leafpool and Crowfeather go for weapons as a badgerbear squeezes into their tiny living room.

Midnight is surprised to see them here of all places. She ignores them in favour of their leftovers and devours what is left. But Midnight seems to realise a sound that is reaching her ears. She comments that it's a bit early for that.

Crowfeather demands to know why she burst down the door and Midnight says that the clans have made a mistake. And are about to suffer greatly for it. That a young life has been imprisoned and the badgerbears are upset that they have been kicked out of their own territory but also one of their own has been stolen and they are going to take it back. And a cat is leading them straight into the heart of Thunderclan for his own selfish reasons.

She says that they can either stay there or come with her. But she wants them if Thunder falls then the badgers won't stop. She says that if that happens then the past will find it easier to crawl back into the future.

Leafpool and Crowfeather are hesitant but Midnight leaves and they have to think because they have to consider their little family.

Brambleclaw talks to Hawk. He updates them, Brook’s dragon is causing problems. But He is trying to talk about it with her. He is having Brook and Tiger-Iron hunt at night to stop scaring away the other patrol’s prey. 

Ashfur isn’t listening to him. He thinks it’s because Ashfur is threatened by his relationship with Squirrelflight. He had enough and he shouted at Ashfur for not listening to him. And Firestar lectured him in front of the whole clan. He felt like a kit. 

Hawk asks what he would do with Ashfur if he was leader and he and Hawkfrost come up with a creative punishment. 

Hawkfrost asks if Brambleclaw thinks he would make a good deputy. Brambleclaw teases him that he has potential but he isn’t sure. Hawkfrost laughs and they part ways. 

Thunderclan isn't expecting the badger attack and when it comes it is in the middle of the day. There's a few patrols out, Firestar isn't even in camp. Ashfur wanted to show something near the lake shore.

Squirrelflight thinks about Ashfur and she likes him enough she doesn't feel like she sees them together. She realises that might be because she still has feelings for Brambleclaw she realises that watching him help his mother in the Thunderclan stables. They are going to take the goats out to graze. She thinks about going with him. Just to think over her realisations. But she doesn’t. 

She was on the dawn patrol so she is going to nap. An alarm wakes her up. 

Badgerbears burst through the clan's defences and the clan is invaded. The bears make quick work of nearby warriors. There are about six or seven of them. Anybody who can grabs a weapon and tries to force them back.

Brook and her dragon are there. Tiger-Iron gets tackled by a bear. Brook tries to help him and in a panic he breathes fire. The fire quickly spreads. 

Squirrelflight runs to the closest warrior Sootfur and asks him to help her evacuate people in need. Mousefur and Longtail are able to hold their own working together so she grabs Goldenflower, Whitekit and Birchkit Daisy and her kits and means to take Sorreltail as well but she is going into labour.

Squirrelflight and Sootfur barricade the nursery as best they can. Ferncloud decides to stay with her to protect her. Squirrelflight moves everybody along the camp walls. They get them out the back entrance when a bear finds them. It grabs Squirrelflight by the leg and takes her back down the wall. Sootfur pushes everyone to safety. And then goes down to help her.

The bear injures Sootfur fatally but they both manage to push it back and into the battle.  Squirrelflight tries to help him but he tells her to go back and help Sorreltail. Squirrelflight get Cinderpelt to the nursery and vows to protect it. She does to the best of her abilities but when two bears try to attack her. She leads them away. She runs by the stable and has an idea.

Brambleclaw had run out of the camp before the attack. He had forgotten that he agreed to meet Hawkfrost that day on the edge of Thunderclan territory. But he hears the alarm raised at camp and looking down to the cove he sees the bear attack is about to go back when. Ashfur flags him down. Firestar has been injured badly and he needs help and Brambleclaw has a choice to make. He tells Ashfur to find any patrols nearby because the camp is being attacked. Ashfur pales and runs to find anybody.

Brambleclaw runs to find Firestar. 

He reaches the lake shore and the sun is setting. Firestar has been impaled by a spear. Something similar to the one they used to hunt down the tiger shark. Hawkfrost. He stands there, watching curiously as Firestar begins to lose life after life. He stabbed the pole through his heart and it can't heal properly. So Fire is dying over and over again.

Hawkfrost asks him if this is how their father died. He knows neither of them were old enough to be at the battle. But Bramble must've heard stories from people who were there.

Brambleclaw demands to know what Hawk is doing. And Hawk says that he is making Brambleclaw have what their father could never. He is doing him a favour by killing the mentor that trained him and overlooked him. Bramble is horrified. He begins to beg for Firestar's life saying that he will do whatever Hawk wants. 

What he wants is a brother. He wants his brother to be leader and him to be by his side as deputy. 

Stromfur is on a patrol with other Thunderclan cats, Dustpelt, Brightheart and Sandstorm. When Ashfur runs into them. He says the camp is under attack.

He runs back with them and sees a bear flying Tiger-Iron. He is being overwhelmed. Stormfur runs in to help him. The badgerbear teeth sink into his neck. Stormfur jumps on the bear's back and stabs him.

The bear throws him off but his knife is still in its back. Stormfur goes to Tiger-Iron he is hurt really bad. Tiger-Iron tells him that coming to the forest was a mistake and Stormfur is cursed. Stormfur says that he hadn't meant to hurt Tiger-Iron.

Tiger-Iron said that the forest isn't a place he wanted to die but if he must he will die by Stormfur proudly. Stormfur says that Tiger-Iron doesn't have to die today. He tells him to good get help instead. He says that he will fight by Brook.

Tiger-Iron lifts Stormfur into the air and drops him back on the bear's back. Stormfur pulls his sword out of the bear and the bear falls back to crush Stormfur.

Stormfur gets crushed. The bear grabs him and throws him to a wall. The bear stalks forward but is stopped with a spear to its eye. Brook and a few warrirors from Thunderclan attacks the bear.

Leafpool and Crowfeather may be too late, they are with Midnight in WIndclan camp but they are not being listened to. Onestar says Crowfeather has betrayed his clan. He is trying to lead into Thunderclan for an ambush.

Crowfeather is trying to agrue for Thunderclan but nothing is working until Tiger-Iron flies into camp. Tiger-Iron is bleeding out heavily. He says that the camp is being attacked.

Onestar asks how they could even believe him. Tiger tells him to follow his blood to the camp. And then he collaspes.

Windclan readies armour, and weapons.

Leafpool fears this is too late. Those fears are confirmed when she sees the camp covered in flames. Windclan quickly works to fight the fire while Midnight and the others face off against the bears.

Ferncloud had been trying to guard the nursery but the bears overwhelmed her.

She hears cries coming from the nursery and rushes to. Cinderpelt has received a fatal wound protecting Sorreltail. The flames are crawling up and into the nursery. Sorreltail has given birth to triplets.

The bear turns on Leafpool, it attacks but Midnight is there to grab it and pull it from the nursey.

Smoke begins to fill the room. Leafpool orders Crowfeather to save Sorreltail and her babies.

Cinderpelt sees the fire and tells Leafpool to go. Leafpool refuses. They say goodbye to each other.

Squirrelflight has grabbed Sunset. She is trying to talk to him and he understands that his family is here. He says that he knew his family was coming to save him. She tells him that she will let him go if he tells us fairly to go back to where they came from.

She takes Sunset outside. Three of the closest bears stop fighting. She hands Sunset over and it's clear that he's telling them to leave. But one of them takes him and the other two attack Squirrelflight.

Hawk wants Bramble to be a leader and there is only one way of doing that. Brambleclaw attacks him. They fight and Hawkfrost is armed while Bramble is not but he manages to kick Hawkfrost's sword out of his hand. And he digs his fingers into the scar that Hawkfrost got from the tiger shark. Hawkfrost goes down and clutches his leg.

Brambleclaw pulls the spear out of Firestar's chest and Hawkfrost grabs his own blade and tackles Bramble they go into the water Hawkfrost is on top of him his blade run through Brambleclaw gut, he sees that Bramble's torso is stained with blood. But he realises that the blood is dripping down from him, the spear has gone through his chest. He stumbles off of Bramble and keeps walking until he falls into the lake.

Squirrel gets struck by one bear but rolls away before the other can grab her. She gets bitten and dragged back but Ashfur tries to come to her rescue. He gets clawed by one of the bears before two Windclan warriors help get them away from the bear.

Thunderclan with the combined forces of Windclan and Midnight drive the badgerbears out.

Brambleclaw is rushed back to Thunderclan along with his leader.

Leafpool is now the only medic and it has been almost a year since she had done anything related to medicine. But she works round the clock to save Firestar.

Over Cinderpelt's body she pays her respects and talks to Crowfeather. Leafpool needs to stay there  But he asks about their family. And she doesn't know what to do.

Tiger-Iron surivies but his wings are very damaged.

Firestar is saved but he only has one life left. Brambleclaw survives as well. And in the clan meeting after the battle Brambleclaw decides to step down from being a deputy he believes he is still young and has much to learn. He also asks for a change of name. He wants to go by Brambleflower in honour of a mother rather than his father.

Brambleflower is pulled to the side by Squirrelflight. Because there is something that concerns them and Leafpool and Crowfeather. Immediately the border and Crowfeather introduces them to Hollykit. Leafpool ran away with him when she found out that she was pregnant. And they need to decide what to do because Leafpool has to stay in Thunderclan. Otherwise it will be without a medic. Hollykit is almost a year old so she can be separated from Leafpool but what to do with her is the question. 

They don't know what to do with Hollykit. They come to an agreement for Crowfeather to take her and raise her in Windclan.

Crowfeather goes back to Windclan holding his child. He hears Leafpool crying after him but he doesn’t look back. 

He thinks about leaving the clans again, turning around and not looking back but he can’t raise Hollykit alone. The first place he goes to is Barkface. He lets Barkface in on his conspiracy, but Barkface tells them to go to Nightcloud. Nightcloud has a child of her own on the way but the father Coal has run off. Crowfeather agrees to claim the child is his if Nightcloud takes in Hollykit as her own. Nightcloud agrees.

Brambleflower takes Hawkfrost’s body to Riverclan. Mothwing doesn’t know what to say. But she says whatever Brambleflower had to do she understands. But she will need to forgive him. Brambleflower isn’t sure which one of her brothers she means. He gives her Hawkfrost’s sword. 

Seasons later, Goldenflower is in the elder's den. Brambleflower introduces her to his son, Lionkit. Goldenflower holds him. He explains in a practised manner that he is the son of him and Squirrelflight. He will never know the forest but that's okay. He's happy and he hopes that he could raise his son to be happy as well.

one thing i can talk about is how ive kind of taken to the idea that 🐟 is a little bit nameless. like beyond a callsign i think they simply dont use one.

[lestatlioncunt]

no wifi and no desire to burn all my phone data so i'm sitting here, looking at my gallery.. examining photos like i'm in a museum rn

[hamable]

I do want to talk quick about the pelicans in The Boy and The Heron. While in the theater, I kept my mind open to symbols and metaphors that could slide into a larger narrative about war and grief, and these fit pretty well. The pelicans can no longer find fish to eat and are recruited and told to eat the Warawara. They don’t want to, and they didn’t know that’s what they’d be eating until they got there. There’s nothing else to eat. Their children are growing up different, they hardly know how to fly anymore.

It reminder me of soldiers drafted for war and sent to defeat whoever they’re pointed towards bc they have no choice. I’m glad Mahito buries the Pelican properly.

I looked up what the pelican symbolizes in Japan, and the first result says they represent parents who sacrifice themselves for their children. Sounds about right.

I think this connects largely to Mahito’s shifting perspective on the war and the people who fight it. He loses his mother to a fire caused by an air raid. She dies in a hospital, filled with children and other patients. I wonder if he possibly resents his father throughout the movie, because he builds aircraft, which will inevitably be used for more destruction (just like Miyazaki and his father). And then the pelicans say they have no choice and fear for the future their children will grow in and he starts redirecting his anger away from his father and heal?

Idk, I’ve only seen the movie once, and this is based off my 2+ day old memory. What do other people think?

Ellie isn't allowed to travel alone Anymore

So! Ellie was raised in a Lab by a Genuine Bonefied Supervillain. She was raised to be a Villain as well, so her Moral Conpass is a little skewed.

Sure she *mostly* knows what is right and wrong from Danny's quick lesson before her Adventure around the Country, but she still has trouble separating what is moral and what is not from time to time.

So it's really no surprise that the moment she left Amity Park she somehow ended up being branded a Villain.

Look, it's not her fault she didn't know not to attack the flying guy in Blue Spandex when he approached her! One of Danny's biggest warnings shen she left had been Stranger Danger! She did what any 12 year old girl would have done when approached by a strange Older Man!

Its also not her fault that her powers (being Magic based), managed to affect him! She didn't even use her full power! (She maybe should have kicked him in a different place tho...she hopes he wasn't planning on having kids...)

So she did what her instincts told her to do. She took any money he had on him and ran the hell away!

It wasn't until she was 2 cities over when she saw a newspaper titled, "Little Villain Girl Mugs Superman in Broad Daylight!", that she realized she may have screwed up...

After that, she really had no excuse.

She knew that she probably shouldn't have kept Mugging the Heroes who approached her, but she wasn't a Fenton for nothing! Her Family Motto had always been "Commit to the Bit", and she was gonna stick to it!

So when the Fast Red Guy tried to tie her up, she phased off all his clothes and took off with his money (not the mask, she knew enough not to take that off)

And when the Grumpy Bat Guy tried to corner her with some weird papers he pulled out of his Belt, she just distracted him while her clone picked his pockets and made off with the wheels of his Car. That one made her a pretty penny!

The flying Green Guy was fun, his attacks were just throwing Ghost Candy (pure willpower) at her. He did stop doing do after she nicked his fancy talking Ring however, but it was fun while it lasted

Then she came across a Orange Fish Guy, and he actually seemed nice enough. But she was committing to the Bit, so she took the fancy Trident he had and sold it at a nearby Pawn Shop for some extra cash. He would probably be able to find it, that's why she chose a nearby location.

All in All, her Adventure had been really fun! So she decided to visit Amity Park again to tell Danny all about it!

...

Aquaman walked into the meeting room of the Watchtower, a very frustrated look in his eye.

Barry spoke up first, "Oh! I know that look in your eye! She got to you too didn't she!"

Arthur just glared at Barry for a second before walking over to his Chair, sitting down with a thump. "She is certainly a tricky child."

"What did she take this time?" Clark asked.

"..mttrident..." Arthur grumbled out quickly.

"What was that?" Asked Barry with a twinkle in his eye. He heard it, but he wanted everybody else to know.

"She took my trident, Okay!" Arthur shouted out.

"I feel ya man." Responded Hal, "At least with me she threw it back at me when she realized it wasn't making 'candy' anymore. What did she do with yours?"

"She sold it at a Pawn Shop!" Arthus yelled in frustration, "She managed to steal one of the most Powerful Magical Weapons in the world, the Symbol of the entire Atalantean Royal Bloodline, and she sold it and a Pawn Shop!"

"...how much did she get for it?" Asked Hal.

At this, Aquaman just collapsed to the table and groaned.

...

Alternatively she could have just kept all those things, and gradually built up a collection of all the JLA's most treasured possessions.

She has Supermans Wallet, not very important to him but it was her first mugging

She has Batmans Utility Belt (trackers removed) along with his Tires

She took Flashes Costume Ring (his civilian clothes still stuck inside)

She took Green Lanterns ring as well, but unfortunately it managed to escape after a few days. It was feisty.

And her crowning Jewel is the Trident she took from Aquaman.

(She avoided WW, cause she likes her too much to steal anything from her)

an: this has been reworked over and over since this request came in in march… so enjoy! its very lovey dovey and sm plot sorry :3

warnings: 18+. filming. jackson!ellie. fingering and oral!r receiving. mostly lovey but some teasing and rough language :3 ellie is obsessed and lovesick and so is reader soooo they make a sex tape. unedited gimme time.

When Ellie first brought up the idea, you had recoiled into her old beat up couch, scoffing as she waved the old camcorder around, a shiteating grin on her face.

“I doubt that thing even works El,” you shrugged your shoulders under the blanket you had stolen off her bed. It wasn't unusual for you to hole up in her small homey garage while she was on patrol.. but what *was* odd was her little.. Souvenir from this particular trip.

“C’mon babe,” Ellie pouted, “Let me try on you..” she wiggled the little camcorder, slipping her hand into the attached grip, flipping open the small screen. Despite your complaints that there was no way it worked, Ellie just could never be wrong. Of course she knew you would fight back, and so she had made sure she fished some batteries too. Of course they came from Maria, the cost three days of stable duty.. But it was worth it for the immune woman, who ducked her nose down and watched the screen flicker to a slow start.

The quality was no better than that of what you could expect from a decades old camera, the film grainy and muffled, each corner covered by symbols Ellie didn’t really understand. But it was no roadblock in the trek of her wants. She smiled when your hands immediately came to slap over your face, voice serious behind your palms as you spoke, “put that down.”

Eventually however, you got a little used to Ellie’s newest fixation. The little hums she made were always a dead give away that she was filming you. During a video game tournament against Dina and Jesse, squished so closely to the two on the floor of the garage that you literally bruised the taller man during a particularly aggressive round of a fighting game. When you were trying your best to compete against your girlfriend’s art skills, tongue poking out the corner of your lips as you worked on a very detailed stick figure that dawned pointed down eyebrows, a large frown and red pencil hair. Even just when you were organizing Ellie’s closet for her, sorting through the tens of sweatshirts with a judging pout on your lips at the mess.

Each time you heard the distinctive sound of El’s attempt at holding back laughs, a small little choked up ‘hmm’ sound. You usually turned your head, quick to flip off your girlfriend-turned-filmmaker. But by the fifth time of catching her smiling behind the little object, you just let her. Whenever you could see her a little less tense, you took it.

Even if that meant starring in all of her little five second shitty clips. Her excuse always, “Just something to look at when I miss you.”

In some ways it made you feel weak legged, slightly lovesick by the thought of Ellie loving you so dearly she just had to steal little memories of you. Every small grin that broke onto freckled cheeks wherever she filmed coaxed you into the haze built up by her new hobby. You became so covered in adoration soon that you resorted to tiny only half mad eye roll when the click of the camera sounded.

Small clips turned into Ellie’s free hand wrapping around your bare waist as you looked in the mirror of her bathroom, the camcorder pressed near your cheek, the auburnette on the other side. You wiped the condensation from the glass, the room still slightly foggy from your shower. “You are not filming me out of the shower,” you huffed. Ellie didn’t answer, the familiar sounding hum stopped only when she pressed a kiss to the base of your neck, lips pulling up into a smile against the skin. “Won’t point too low..” she promised. “You just look so pretty..”

That time, the camera had been closed and discarded on a random bedside table as the two of you stumbled across her floor, giggling as Ellie cursed, stubbing her toe on the corner of the bed she tried to press you down into.

It continued like that, the limits of what you allowed Ellie to film seemed to blur further with every day.. Every curl of her fingers around the object that had become so central to this small haven of her home. Your own neck hot for reasons very different from embarrassment each time the filming light blinked a little too long. The line that you and Ellie had drawn in the sand of your mind was looking a lot less precise with every new memory saved into the device.

Even further along into the passing weeks, you had settled comfortably into yet another night spent at Ellie’s. Your own bedroom had remained untouched for nearly a week this time, bed spread likely just as cold as the air outside. But the garage was warm. The air inside thick as you pressed two fingers against your lips to keep a laugh from spilling out. Glasses of half empty wine, stolen from Tommy and Maria’s cupboard, balanced on the table that sat directly in front of the couch you were cuddled into.

The feeling of wine drunkenness always made you giggly, but your girlfriend parading around her small living space with her camcorder, well, that made you even more prone to bursts of laughs. She had gone from filming and rambling on about what wine you were drinking to zooming into your face, chuckling with breath that smelt like red wine. “See how pretty?” Ellie gaped to no one, stepping closer to you on the couch. The whole garage was painted a light orange from the setting sun outside, but it didn’t stop Ellie.

“El, you’re being a dork,” you chide, shaking your head as more compliments spilt from her. She shoos off the bitten remark with a sound that boarders on a coo, leaning over you as the lens of the camcorder sat close enough to pick up the smaller details of your face the grainy film usually could not.

“I’m just showin’ how perfect you are..” Ellie explains, a softer tone edging into her lungs as she presses her thumb to your cheek, drawing a new heat under the digit. “Perfect cheeks…” her finger traces over your jawline next, and then your chin. Each new landmark of your face that Ellie doted on swept closer and closer to your soft lips. You were no idiot, you saw how the green of her eyes fell to the fat, watched as you sucked your bottom lip between your teeth and then out again. You made no move to stop what came next.

That next move was your girlfriend’s finger following like a moth to a flame to the one spot that teetered on that blurry line again, thumb pressing softly around the curve of your lips.

“Perfect lips,” Ellie continued, eyes flicking back and forth from the camera screen to you. Soon the pad of her finger is right against your bottom lip, and the room seems to slow.

The both of you hold bated breaths as you mull over your options. But this mulling is no longer than a few seconds, feeling overwriting the more logical side of your brain with a gushy type of tightness in your chest.

Your lips part, eyes meeting the lense as you suck the tip of Ellie’s thumb into your mouth. Lips wrap around the soft skin, salty and cold, and Ellie has little to say other than a slow and breathy, “Fuck..”

Your tongue peaks out just for a moment, lavishing over the wet skin, but Ellie is quick to pull away, leaving your shining lips parted in confusion. The camera falls to her side as her free fingers wrap around your wrist. Just like last time, the little red light twists away from your face. Ellie’s toes step backwards from that oh so mysterious line you two made.

“You know what you do to me, hm?” Ellie questioned as she hauled you up by your arm, a sharp giggle following as she stomped to the bed. The camera is discarded on the table near her pillows as you are thrown back on it.

“No,” you tease, your next giggle cut off by a thump noise that was Ellie pushing you back against grey sheets, you make a sound that almost sounds like “oof” as you try to readjust. Ellie clambers on top of your squirming frame as another sputtered laugh escapes at the messy, and not very seductive, way you two found contact against the creaking mattress.

“Tell me,” you prompt, meeting Ellie’s narrowed green eyes. “Why should I? You’re laughin’ at me.”

Your eyes roll as Ellie’s lips fall into a pout that you want to kiss clean off. “Stop being a baby,” you mutter before letting your impulse win, your hands cupping the freckles cheeks of your girlfriend and pulling her down for a soft kiss. Her pouted lips quickly shape to your own, and you sigh in approval as the hand not holding herself up traces down to your waist.

“I’m not a baby,” your girlfriend complains when your lips part from each other, and you nearly pinch her cheeks from just how lovely you find the whiny drawl in her voice, instead you just shrug, biting back another half bubbled up laugh, “mhm, prove it.”

Ellie does just that. One tug on your hips has you flatter against the bed, one poke at your side has a squeal leaving your mouth. You see how Ellie’s lips quirk up, but before you can admire the sight, she kisses you again.

“So,” Ellie punctuates the word with a kiss, the sort that makes a loud and annoying smacking noise, before trailing her lips to your cheek. “Fuckin” Ellie’s lips find home on your jawline next, and act that has a simmering heat grow between your legs. “Perfect.” Ellie finishes the repeat of what her fingers had done earlier by nudging your head back, lips pressing softer kisses to the flesh of your neck.

Your eyes flicked to the side table, pupils finding the little camcorder as the auburn haired girl bit at your neck, your attention pulled away as your eyes flutter closed at the feeling. “El,” you breathe out, a hand finding her messy hair, nails scraping at her scalp as she bit harsher at the column of your throat. You aren’t sure why her name had been your first thought to say after seeing the camcorder, swallowing as your fingers itched to reach toward the side table.

“Hm? Tell me,” Ellie taunts, words muffled as her next target becomes your collarbone. Your own words biting at you again as your eyebrows furrowed together, watching as your girlfriend’s fingertips find the edge of your shirt, pushing it up as your hand falls from her hair to help take it off.

You pull her back for another kiss before you can even think to answer her question, one you weren’t even sure you could explain. Ellie’s needy fingers come into contact with the fat of your tits, tweaking at the perked nipples, nails pressing in just a little too hard, earning a mewl directly against the spit slick kiss. As Ellie kissed you, you tried your best to focus on the feeling, and not how you were acutely aware of the camera beside you.

Her tongue swiped at your bottom lip, warm against your parting lips as she searched to deepen the kiss, messy sounds of half breaths and kissing all sounded through the small area, your hips rolling up as her knee slotted itself between your trembling thighs.

You can’t help but wonder what this may look like on camera, and as Ellie pulls back, you notice the green of her eyes had dimmed, pupils blown as the pretty eyelashes fanned lightly. The freckles splattered over the apples of her cheeks were particularly prominent tonight, and you suspected it had something to do with the blood that rushed there, rosy and all around causing that same lovesick feeling to creep up your weakened bones.

You wonder if she would look as pretty on that grainy screen too.

Before your mind can even form another thought, Ellie is pulling away from your lips, a small whine the response she received. You can’t complain for long as she moves down, wet lips trailing sloppy kisses to your soft stomach, planting the ember of a growing fire in your groin, causing your hand to flex. Your eyes are pulled by an invisible string to the side of you again, the black material of the camcorder your gaze’s target. Ellie grumbles in response, and a small pinch on your hip has you yelping.

“What’re you looking at? Look at me.”

“Ellie,” you try again, lip quivering nervously as she ushers you to lift your hips, tugging off the bottoms you wore. “Fuckkkk,” she drawls, lost in her own little world as a large hand presses your thighs open. “You see that?” she marvels, a finger pressing against the wet spot on your panties. When she presses, you can feel the fabric stick to you, nearing translucent as she teases, your lips hugging the now soaked panties. It has your hips stirring in their spot, the flame in your stomach burning your liquid feeling stomach. “Ellie,” you sigh again.

Finally her gaze looks up, “Yea?” she asks, her voice softening. You can see the flash of confusion, her hand falling from your thigh as she searched for any apprehension. “You ok?”

“I can’t—“ your voice comes out whinier than you would like to admit, harsh against your ears with a feeling of embarrassment. “Can’t say it,” you finish, eyes moving to the camera sitting on the small wooden table beside you for the umpteenth time.

Ellie follows your eyes, and when you look back to her, there’s a flash of surprise in the shade of green you loved so much. It was replaced quickly, her eyelids drooping as her chin tilted up. “Hm. Don’t know what you mean,” she shrugs, fingers going back to teasing your panty line.

Her tone is laced with sarcasm, the teasing tilt to it is a voice you had heard many times before, many times in this exact position. Ellie liked to make you say things, liked to watch you squirm. You were convinced at this point she got off on your embarrassment, and she probably wouldn’t even deny that.

“Gonna have to spell it out for me, babe,” Ellie added, dipping down to place soft kisses at your hip-bone, pink muscle licking over a mark there.

A low and annoyed sound escapes your throat, and your girlfriend chuckles against your flesh, one finger curling around the fabric of your panties, tugging it down a little ungracefully, your shaking thighs to thank for that.

“Barely even touched you yet and you’re shakin,” Ellie teases again, whispering softly, “Such a pretty pussy..” as the sight of your weepy folds meet her eyes. “This all for me, baby? Or somethin’ else on your mind?”

Your eyes squeeze shut again, hoping to rid your mind of the film reel like thoughts of the camera pressed in Ellie’s hand as she did this. They played over and over behind the black of your eyes, and another frustrated sound fills the garage.

“Not gonna answer?” Ellie was quieter now, repositioning herself, parting your thighs even more. A finger ghosted over your dripping cunt, a hum following the action. “Can’t make you feel better if you don’t use your words, y’know?”

The warm air hit your folds as Ellie exposed you more, thighs burning from the stretch, from the tight grip of one of her hands, fingers digging into and squeezing the fatty flesh.

The blanket beneath your bare ass is no comfort as you move around, and Ellie’s nose bumps against the softness of your thigh. So close, so fucking close to giving exactly what you were searching for, so close to your aching center that your resolve cracks lightly, head tilted back and against the pillow.

“The camera,” you croak, your mouth dry as your lips part, refusing to look at the other girl.

“What about the camera? Look at me and tell me what you want.”

The crease between your eyebrows likely was gaining small droplets of sweat just from how hard you were attempting to avoid this entire fucking conversation, but Ellie kept pressing you further, and who were you to deny her?

“Wanna film this,” you eventually admit, head dipping down to meet her darkened eyes.

“Yea baby? Wanna see what a mess I can make you?” Ellie’s words start to blur together, the idea surely muddling any coherent thoughts together in her mind, licking her lips as she awaits your response.

“Fuck— mmph, yes El. Please.*”

Ellie’s lips curl into a smile that’s more wicked than loving, “Red button starts it, you can hold it.” She instructed, and you scramble to reach your arm out, grasping at the little hand strap connected to the camcorder.

“There you go babe,” she nods, “give it a go, let me see what you’ve got.”

Your fingers are shaking so badly it takes a moment for your thumb to hit the button, to see the soft little red light noting the start of the film.

The grainy screen doesn’t pick up on all the freckles adorning Ellie’s face. The ones that made you feel all gooey, that you wanted to kiss until her face was a pretty shade of red. But it did capture her parted lips, the expanse of your thighs, and your shaky grip tilted the camera down as Ellie’s head dipped between your thighs.

Her mouth latched to your achy cunt, tongue licking up the drops of arousal that covered your slit, pearling on the petal like lips that she spreads with her fingers.

Your arms almost immediately gave out.

Clearly, you were not as skilled in the art of film making as Ellie had been, the camera dropping almost completely to your tummy as Ellie sucked at your cunt. Her eyes flicked up, and she unlatched from the saccharine slick that pooled on her tongue.

“You keep that camera steady,” she muttered, thumb rubbing tiny, tight circles on your throbbing clit. “Or I stop, yea?”

You nod quickly, hips grinding into the slow and steady motion of her thumb, wet with your sticky . You would have agreed to anything she demanded of you right now anyway. Too needy, too desperate to feel her lips on you again.

“ ‘M counting on you to make a pretty movie for me.”

The sentence tapers off as she disappears to the space between your thighs again, and you nearly and truly sob as her nose bumps your clit, her tongue poking experimentally against your hole, feeling as it clenches against nothing.

You know your whimpers and quick little puffs of air are being picked up by the camera, but you’re too focused on keeping the lense directly focused on the auburn tendrils of hair, on where her face was covered by your thighs caging her cheeks in, keeping her in the place she most needed to be, drinking down every single single drop you gave her.

“Ellie,” you whine, toes curling when she presses away from your clit, two long fingers coming to part your folds, admiring the sticky sight.

“Shhh,” Ellie coos, eyes glancing up at the camera again, the burning sight of her fern colored gaze through the tiny screen has your stomach clenching even harsher, hands trembling lightly.

The air on your exposed center lasts no longer than a few seconds, Ellie’s head dipping down as the warm, wet feeling of a glob of her spit trails down your clit, finding your pulsing hole. Her tongue swipes it quickly after, suckling gently at the shiny bubbles. The sound that follows, the loud wet squelch of your wetness mixing with her spit is enough to make you want to cover the speaker of the camcorder, fingers gripping tightly at the little contraption. She focuses on licking at your sopping cunt, her head moving slightly, moaning against your folds.

“Oh—nnh—El!” you cry, your chin trembling in tandem with the hand you try desperately to keep still. Your hips rut up, and Ellie’s face moves up with you, an arm detaching from its place on your squishy thigh to instead wrap around your waist, pulling you closer. Impossibly closer.

You can feel yourself closer, closer to that delicious peak, Ellie’s nose bumping your clit, tongue working mind numbing ministrations on you.

Then she pulls back.

“Fuckin made for me,” Ellie groans, taking a deep breath as she unlatched from your pussy, her fingers sweeping through your puffy lips. “Was fuckin’ made to let me taste you.” Her eyes flick to the camera, her tone louder than usual— a little less breathy. She wanted the microphone to hear.

You cry pathetically at the loss of her tongue, lip quivering.

“Tell me,” she demands, voice overpowering the slick noises of her now shiny fingers rubbing between your folds, the tips pausing at your pulsing hole, dipping only a little in, teasing. “Tell me this pretty pussy was made for me.”

And then Ellie is reaching forward, letting go of her grip on your hips to grab harshly at the camera, maneuvering it to show your trembling body, her fingers pressing open your lips, giving the camera a pretty close up of your soaked cunt. She croons at the sight, her fingers pressing together to land a short and sharp slap against the swollen lips. “S’pretty.”

“Ellie,” you choke, chest heaving up and down as the embarrassment creeps up, making that coil in your tummy even tighter.

“Tell me,” she says again, smoothly.

Desperate to have her fingers opening you up, to have her filling you and breaking that tightly wrapped tension in your groin, you break.

“I’m yours el. ‘m all yours, was made for you,” your voice is restrained, quiet as you chew at your lips, stirring in your spot as she continues the teasing.

“What else? Tell me more, baby,” she insists, one long finger sinking into you, hissing at the feeling of your cunt molding to her, perfect for her as you clench.

“A—ah!” your voice is a sweet little cry. You grind down into the feeling, searching for more. “It’s yours El,” you babble— louder now, head thrown back. Ellie captured the moment with a quick tilt up of the camera. “M-my pussy s’all yours.”

“Fuck,” Ellie breathes, her own, usually steady camera hand, wavering as you speak. She grants you with another finger as she thrusts harshly into you, a shriek pulled from your open mouth.

“So—s-so fucking perfect,” she grunts, curling her fingers gently, hitting that squishy spot in your walls that has you keening, eyes rolling back. “Love this pussy so much, shit—shit, love you so much.”

“Love you too El,” you blubber, your chin tilting down to stare directly at the camera for a second. That awkwardness, the fear from the early days of when she’d film you completely gone as you moan pathetically, eyes shiny with complete and utter adoration.

She only pistons her fingers into you harder, faster, relishing in how you moan, how your toes curl and your chin wobbles. You’re the prettiest fucking thing she’s ever seen.

The camera points down to where she’s thrusting into you, watching through the screen as you meet her thrusts, your hips moving against the grey sheets, your thighs squeezing her hand in between them as you sob out.

Ellie meets your eyes, stealing your attention from the camera she keeps focused on your squirming frame, pounding her fingers into your cunt. “Cum for me, you can do it baby, go on. Give me a pretty show.”

And you do. Your sweaty back lifts off the bed with a sharp sob as the cord in your tummy snaps, gushing around Ellie’s fingers, pulsing around her as she thrusts shallowly, riding you through it.

Your vision goes black for a second as you heave, hands shaking as you reach out for Ellie, fingers looking to curl around her warm skin.

You don’t even notice the off click of the camera, of how she lets it softly drop to the side as she climbs up your shaky form, pressing a sweet kiss to your cheek.

“So pretty,” Ellie hums, “Prettiest movie star ever,” she mumbled, and you pour your lips— getting another soft kiss as she continues to plant tiny loving pecks around your face.

“Never should’ve let you keep that camera,” you whisper gently, smiling right when she does against the corner of your mouth that she pecks at.

“Yea fuckin’ right, we just made the movie of the year babe.”

🏹Astrology Notes 🛼

People with many aspects of Neptune, especially Neptune Square North Node, can get into bad paths (alcohol, drugs...) many times they look for a solution by running away from problems. In life, they struggle with many difficult, incomprehensible, strange things. They may come across many people who deceive them.

Pluto opp chiron - can illustrate that you never really get over your traumas that were inflicted on you when you were little. Many times you can carry a swordsman's side inside you and never really let it go.

Mercury opp chiron- you have a hard time expressing or talking about your pain. It can often take a really long time to talk about what's bothering you.

Mercury conj Pluto- you can always be secretive about what you say. It could also be that a part of you is always hidden behind words.

The aspect of the moon and Saturn indicates the relationship the person has with his mother. People who have very strong aspects with the moon and saturn can be very attached to their mother and the mother has a great influence on them. It also shows that this person is not emotionally open and can always keep their feelings inside.

Dynamic aspects (opposition, square, inconjunction, semi-square) between Saturn and Jupiter indicate that a person can be full of hope at one moment and completely desperate at the next. These aspects are often associated with suicide. Because people can hardly bear such strong energy.

There are differences: Sagittarius is much more changeable than Jupiter, more freedom-loving and irresponsible. Sagittarius is less likely to symbolize the acquisition of material goods. Also, being a sign and therefore a less powerful symbol than a planet, it is less likely than Jupiter to operate at an excessive level. Sagittarius is less likely to signify waste, excess, or arrogance. Sagittarius gets along best with planets like Mars, Uranus, and the Sun, which are fast-moving, energetic, and not resistant to change.

Strongly emotional planets do not do well in Capricorn because the sign tends to repress emotion in favor of discipline. The Moon is particularly difficult here, because Capricorn will not allow the Moon to enjoy being dependent on others, a mode of relationship that is absolutely essential to the Moon’s functioning at some point in life. Venus is also not at its best, because its emotional criteria for choice are likely to be subordinated to practical criteria. Venus in Capricorn can also indicate an attraction to older persons who can serve as authority figures as well as lovers.

The Pisces symbol is two fishes swimming in opposite directions, and like Sagittarius and Gemini, Pisces is traditionally referred to as a dual sign. There are two types of Piscean: the advanced (Pisces as the last stage in the evolution of the archetypal ego or self) and the primitive (Pisces as the stage just prior to a new beginning in Aries).

Pluto in the 3rd house can represent a very strong bond with a sister. So separation with your sister can very difficult if you live far apart. You can create a beautiful and strong bond with your sister.

Mars in the 5th house indicates a difficult birth and problems with children. Children may be restless, aggressive or angry. It is important to look at aspects.

Jupiter in the 9th house often indicates good intuition and prophetic dreams. So it is important to remember your dreams.

Virgo rising people are so beautiful. I notice that women have beautiful faces and skin. Men, on the other hand, have well-developed eyes and bodies. I would say that virgins can have more beautiful beauty than technical ones in the subsign. Otherwise, it depends on where Mercury falls in the house, but still, their beauty is very naturally beautiful.

Moon in the third house indicates sensitive emotions and feelings. Moods change quickly.

The Moon in the fifth house indicates great success for children. Also a  person very dedicated to fun.

Moon in the sixth house can mean too much strain in terms of health. Lots of public contact. It can also mean insecurity and health problems in the first 7 years.

Mars in 7th house can mean that the individual is too open in relationships and dealings. It can also mean that he is jealous, intense and controlling.

Mars in the 11th house means you can be argumentative and want things your way. Many times the need for freedom is strong.

Mars in 12th house- the individual is interested in hidden things. You can join things that are secret. You like to work in the shadows. And you present your things when you are sure of them.

Uranus in the first house often shows that your personality is very unique and special. You have an energy that others find rare and interesting. You are a person who does not like drug treatment and prefers to find a different way (natural way of treatment). You want a job that is free and you don't like being controlled by others.

Uranus in the seventh house indicates premature engagement or marriage. It also means inharmonious relationships (if the aspects are not good). It also indicates a relationship in which one is ingenious and clever.

Uranus in ten house people are prone to emotional or physical loss through one parent. It is said that people with this position are also inclined to have two professions at the same time. It is important for women to check if her Uranus is in the 10th house of a man. Because this can indicate that the man is more focused on his career than her.

A person with mercury in the 9th house will always know at least 2 foreign languages, if not more. These people learn foreign languages very quickly and quickly understand others. They often prefer foreign languages.

Mars in Libra -A person can be quarrelsome and inharmonious. But it's not always like that. It depends on what aspects the person has. Person can be very passive aggressive and hides a lot of their energy. Many times they do something, but in reality they want something completely different. They can place the blame on others in many cases unless the person has Venus in good stabile sign.

Chart ruler of 8th house in 5th house -if it is  in bad aspects, it can indicate the possibility of miscarriage, loss of a child at birth or in youth.

Chart ruler  of 8th house in 8th house symbolizes benefit from the dead. Interest in immortality, spirituality. If the ruler is in an bad position then there can be problems with dying.

Chart ruler of the 9th house in 4th house travel is necessary for family matters. Property comes from relatives and partner.

Chart ruler of the 9th house in 6th house means handling due to travel. As well as good success abroad. If the aspects are in an unfavorable position, it can mean illness while traveling.

Chart ruler of the 9th house in 7th house means marriage in a foreign country or marriage with a foreigner. It often symbolizes a person living in another country. If it is in an unfavorable position, it may mean that relatives oppose the marriage.

The ruler of the 10th house in the 1st house- can mean a lot of ambition and talents. But it can mean loss due to father.

The ruler of the 10th house in the 6th house- symbolizes a humble position in society. Treatment can be an important part of an individual's life. If the aspects are bad, it can mean loss of career due to health.

Ruler of 10th house in 7th house- indicates benefit from public. Lawsuits are positive and marriage can bring fame.

Ruler of the 10th house in the 11th house - symbolizes the fulfillment of dreams. Strong and influential friends help the individual.

- Farmer Malleus what if where he leaves everything behind with you -

Silver and Sebek begging farmer Malleus to come back to the country and lead them.

🐊: "My king! The world is in danger! You have the might of a million soldiers. There's no one else like you. We need you-- nay, everyone needs you!"

🐉: "I am a father now. I am old. My bones are brittle. I'd wager you could topple me in one strike."

It's only been five years since their graduation. He tears off logs for their fireplace with his bare hands.

⚔️: "The kingdom is struggling! With you gone, our prestige has lost its value and our economy has completely fallen because of the remaining nobility's greed. You are irreplaceable, both as an important symbol and as a strategist for internal affairs--"

🐉: "Economics? I can't even do basic arithmetic anymore. My son is even better than me-- you should have seen how quickly he learned to count to a hundred."

He remembers how many eggs each of their chickens have laid over the course of their poultry lives. He knows exactly how many fishes swim in the river nearby.

🐉: "I only know love now, not war. I'm afraid I am no longer as influential as you remember me."

Bears are terrified of him and come by their house not to pillage for food, but to offer food out of fear that he'd obliterate them if they didn't make a ritual sacrifice to pacify him.

Oh dear, this is going to be a loooong day for Silver and Sebek.

one of the most heart-wrenching things about thg universe is that you feel the loss of who each character would be outside the circumstances of their birth almost as acutely as you feel the loss of the characters themselves.

sure, we know what lucy gray and her family would be doing in a different world; she’d be dancing and singing and making music which defines a cultural identity. but what about the others? would haymitch have been a hilarious, loving father with a family had he not been forced to survive 47 other children’s brutal deaths? would finnick have been a charismatic and beloved actor, bringing joy to immeasurable people on his own terms? would beetee and wiress have worked together to develop technology to make it easier to connect loved ones far and wide? what would reaper and annie have given to the world, or thresh, or rue, or even coral or cato or glimmer or clove?

if katniss wasn’t half-starving and forced to spend each day hunting to feed her family, would archery be her true passion? or if she’d been a well-sustained little girl with access to art supplies, would she have spent her time sketching captivating dresses? she picks up ropes and making fish hooks quickly—could her dexterity have lent itself to knitting, sewing, or crocheting with vibrant yarns and fabrics? there’s so much evidence that katniss finds clothing inspiring and empowering, even when she dismisses it as frivolous. she likes being pretty, she just hates the circumstances under which she’s made to look pretty. cinna shows her that beauty has its own power, and there are several moments in her interactions with cinna and his designs that make me wonder who she’d be if she had space for art and creativity in her life.

conversely, peeta has had art in his life since he was a small child, but for him, art has always been entangled with his trauma. he could bake and decorate well because he learned from his mother, a mother who beat him his whole life. but his talent grows, not only as a survival tool in the first games, but when he paints rue on the floor of the training center before the second games. his art becomes not only a symbol of his trauma, but a means of resistance and solidarity. in a world where peeta’s intrinsic kindness and loving heart had been nurtured and welcomed rather than abused, could he have been a painter, helping people find collective meaning in the simple realities of life?

could katniss and peeta have still found each other in another world, a world without the horrors they were raised with, and bonded over their love of art? could they have been each other’s muses?

maybe they find their way to share art, after the events of mockingjay, as part of their process of healing and falling in love with each other. when they’re finally safe and have been for a long time, maybe katniss fashions peeta an easel for him to paint in their living room. after months of watching him gaze out the window and paint the changing leaves, katniss takes to knitting on a rocking chair in the other corner of the living room to steady her restless hands. they work silently as the days go by, quietly exchanging the things they’ve made to give each other the reassurance and love neither could ever fully convey with words.

and maybe one day, when they learn there’s a baby on the way due in midwinter, katniss takes a page from peeta’s sketchpad and starts to plan a series of sweaters and hats and socks she can knit for the baby. and peeta goes to the little nursery upstairs and starts working on a mural, so the baby will have something beautiful to look at every day. they work together to design the perfect baby blanket for their child, to ensure they will always be wrapped in a layer of protection and love by their parents.

but even if they find creativity and beauty in their lives after the end of mockingjay, the art they make will simply never be what that art could have been had they not faced what they faced. art comes from suffering, yes, but the human condition has so much suffering as is, and we’d never know what kind of art they’d make if they hadn’t experienced trauma of a distinctly sadistic and inhuman nature. but maybe their children, raised in a better world with love and protection and safety and joy and creativity and expression, will be the ones to create the art peeta and katniss never could.

I have pondered on this many a time before and came to the conclusion that the whole Find-the-Lady game that happened with the babies was God's misdirection to drop off the Messiah when no one was expecting it, with all eyes on the Antichrist. After all "of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only." (Matthew 24:36)

Let me lay out my brain logic:

Johnson is a name that comes from Son of John. John means "God is gracious". God-is-gracious-son. ("What was it he said that got everyone so upset?" "Be kind to one another")

The Christ part of Jesus Christ comes from the Greek word Christos which literally translates to anointed one. Anointing is generally done with oil. Grease is "a thick oily substance". So we have Anointed God-is-Gracious-son.

Jesus was famous for hoarding fishermen who became fishers of men and also for doing fishy miracles. Also Ichthus, a symbol still used in the church today, is a fish. Greasy Johnson won prizes for his fish.

The Antichrist was prophesied to be a rival to Christ - Greasy Johnson and the Johnsonites were rivals to the Antichrist and the Them.

Based on the Nativity stuff, Jesus was born via a human the first time around so it makes sense for the same to happen second time around (unlike Adam, as far as we know - Sister Mary asked and we never got an answer to it and he turned up in a basket)

From what I remember, when Neil and Terry mentioned the potential sequel, it was going to involve America. In the Nativity, Jesus and his family had to go back to the place where his human parents came from. If Greasy Johnson does a DNA test, it will lead him back to America and to Harriet Dowling.
