Overall Story:
Many moons before they were born, a stray that was new to the neighborhood and who had recently lost his three kits decided to take his grief out on the six new kittens on the street.
He was eventually chased out by Henry, the father of Charlie, one of the kits murdered. After this, StarClan decided to intervein. They sent a message to Henry in a dream and told him that in the future, he would find seven young cats. Henry was to lead the cats to build their own Clan, to help keep the other cats in the city safe. Henry agreed, and it became a waiting game until the cats arrived.
Flash forward about two years, the seven cats are found. Henry was clued into who six of them were by their looks and names, which perfectly mirrored the six dead kits. Henry took charge and helped create a Clan, LostClan, in the city, the first of it's kind. He did his best to lead the cats until his death.
This is where the story becomes relivent to the Dark Forest.
Goldenstar and Springsoul where three moons apart in age, and were considering asking each other to be mates. A wrench was thrown into this plan with the revelation that Goldenstar and Spiritstring had the spirits of dead kits inside their bodies, and as such, things were more complicated.
During this, Beargrowl was having... relationship issues with his littermates, Violetsong and Chickenclaw, as Violetsong had recently come out as transgender, and Beargrowl disapproved of it, saying that StarClan had made her a 'tom' and therefor 'he' would always be one. This lead to a rift growing in the group, as Chickenclaw was brought onto Beargrowl's side by force and the others in the group stayed on Violetsong's side.
These issues reached a stalemate after several years, as the Clan started growing from the small group to what was more 'acceptable' for a traditional Clan. Except that this Clan was in no way traditional.
Spiritstring had disbanded the medicine cat code, and the warrior code itself was being reconstructed. There were several warriors in relationships with those not in the Clan, and forget the traditional ways of denning and training apprentices!
However, StarClan couldn't stop this change. All they could do was wait for the killer from all those moons ago, now known as Burnkill, to be stopped and then they could reset the Clan. They could try again.
However, you can't stop city cats that easily! They survived past what StarClan had attempted to wipe them out with, and many of them were given access to StarClan once they died, though some went willingly to the Dark Forest.
Goldenstar, Spiritstring, Springsoul, and Beargrowl were all killed in the same outbreak of fire. Goldenstar had actually kicked Beargrowl into the fire instead of helping him escape. Nobody would miss him anyways.
Springsoul was condemned to the Dark Forest due to its actions while alive, which threatened many cats. He had even partaken in murder a few times. Springsoul didn't argue, and was just happy that Goldenstar and Spiritstring were allowed into StarClan.
Of course, those two followed him to the Place of No Stars anyways, stubborn as they were. Beargrowl was also sent to the Dark Forest due to his abuse of his Clanmates, and he better pray to the stars that the other LostClan residents don't run into him.

--Submission by @indigo-flightly-falls Welcome to the blog, and sorry for the long wait!
Indigo: "I should note that while I don't usually partake in shipping in the fnaf fandom, there have to be some couples to have kits. As such please do not think of any ships as involving the humans/souls, as at this point the characters are just ocs who share a resemblance to fnaf characters!."
--Man I REALLY need to find out more about fnaf lore.
--Olden Golden Days poly for the win!
