Redraw of my Crowsquirrel art from 2020! The original was semi-based on @malkumtend's Crowsquirrel fanfic, so I hope you like this redraw of it ☺️

Original under the cut and them by themselves v

So note for timeline of my AUs

Dawn of the Clans is retconned. No Jay's Wing, no Lion Roar. No.

Start of the real timeline is Forest first, human road destruction second, Lake relocation last.

Things are weird but plot is more snug.

Here we go now y'all! My AU timeline. This has the noted AUs marked with a color. Keep track.

The Clans were created in the old Forest Territory.

The Codes was created.

Mapleshade and her kits were exiled. She was almost cassted out of RiverClan as well, but Finchshade (RiverClan's medicine cat) stopped her and treated her.

Finchshade AU: Mapleshade stays in RiverClan and becomes their new medicine cat. Her mentor is Finchshade. She renames herself Mapleblight after the loss of her children and doesn't go through with her murderous revenge. She eventually goes to The Place of No Stars (Purgatory) and finds that her kits have gone missing from StarClan's fields. To be concluded in The Three AU.

Blueeyes, Mosskit is Firestar AU/ Mossfire!AU: Blueeyes (renamed Bluefur since she's now a ginger molly) had taken a mate with RiverClan turned kittypet Crookedpaw, now named Stormy. She took her kits to twoleg place (Princess is Mistykit, Pudge is Stonekit, and Mosskit is Rusty/Firepaw.) Rusty eventually joins ThunderClan.

Corrupted Prophecy AU: Spottedleaf does live for much longer in the Mossfire AU. But she isn't safe from Tigerclaw's deadly plans against the dogs and is taken out from there. Where she and Firemoss were semi-mates in the earlier books, their relationship fell apart and Firemoss instead becomes Sandstorm's mate. Spottedleaf is in StarClan... but she feels betrayed. She uses her power to convince Firemoss/Firestar that she wasn't angry that they didn't stay together, and that she becomes ThunderClan's prime cat for Prophecy deciphering. To be concluded in The Three AU.

CrowSquirrel AU: As the Forest Arc comes to a close, the chosen cats (Bramblepetal, Feathertail, Tawnypelt, and Crowpaw) and their tag alongs (Stormfur, Squirrelpaw) travel to the Sun Drowned Place to meet Midnight. Crowpaw and Squirrelpaw take their time and form a romantic relationship that takes to the Lake Territory. To be concluded in the Mudstar AU.

Mudstar AU: Tallstar passes, Onewhisker and Mudclaw fight for leadership over WindClan. As Crowbreeze (Crowfeather) and Squirrelflight continue meeting in secret, Squirrelflight reveals by a accident that her father (Firestar) wasn't there when Tallstar passed. The rest plays out with Onewhisker being exiled for lying to the Clan about his right to power. Smoky (Onewhisker's ex-mate) comes over the mountain by pure miracle and finds out Onewhisker was a sham. She stays with Mudstar to raise her kits. The two become mates after Squirrelflight finally joins WindClan to be with Crowbreeze.

Ashleaf AU: Ashcloud (Ashfur) is heartbroken when Squirrelflight left. But instead of losing it over her chosing Bramble- he is genuinely torn over her leaving ThunderClan permanently and is seen to be laying around much to the Clan's annoyance. Leafpool takes him to the Medicine Den, where his mind is distracted by herb knowledge. The two connect over their losses and Ashcloud starts developing feelings for Leafpool. But he also decides to become a medicine cat. The two keep their relationship secret, but they find themselves happy.

Haunted Bramble AU: Bramblepetal (Brambleclaw) believes he is betrayed by Squirrelflight. And in his self-pity, is encouraged by Brambleclaw to take his anger out on Firestar. Him and Hawkfrost plan to corner Firestar by using a fire from a nearby twoleg campsite to start a fire that will burn ThunderClan camp. And with it, Bramblepetal singles out Firestar (like a flip-flop for the infamous fire scene) and laments his loss and blames Firestar for not making Squirrelflight choose him -or Ashcloud but hush- for his mate. Firestar finds out about the Dark Forest and Tigerclaw's involvement... and he escapes. But not without telling ThunderClan their deputy is dead from a flaming tree knocking him into the flames below.

The Three AU: The mighty mess. Jaywish, Hollybramble, and Lionshell are born to Squirrelflight and Crowbreeze. They live in WindClan and are living their best lives away from the mess ThunderClan has become. But all is not well when Jaywish starts getting dreams from Spottedleaf, beckoning him and his littermates to go back to their mother's former Clan. Lionshell is seeing dark shadows encircle Windclan's border when he cannot smell a hint of threat. Hollybramble is being lead into the Dark Forest by Bramblepetal and trained there. They're all concerned about the going on of their importance, a warning brought by the young WindClan kit named Breezekit. "Three cats. Kin of your kin. With powers stronger than the stars. They are the only brightness in this war of dark."

Spottedleaf is trying to silence Breezekit to take over the prophecy, Mapleblight is trying to steer Hollybramble away from the Dark Forest, Lionshell is searching for the fourth cat,, and Jaywish keeps seeing dreams of a river sweeping away his littermates.

sort of drew a scene from @kartoonluv​‘s AU “I Like Your Laugh”, Chapter 15, in which Squirrelpaw gets a cut on her cheek from a fight with a cave guard while rescuing Stormfur, and Crowpaw is concerned/upset

Crow and Squirrel by themselves under the cut uwu
