#firelong

here’s mine (might be forgetting some):

ravenfire, longfire, firesand, firegray, dustfire, firetiger, darkfire, morningfire, whitefire, goldenfire, brindlefire, mistyfire, firefrost, firestone, onefire, and (by far my rarest pair) russetfire.

longfire where, when longtail goes blind, he does little things to show firestar he can still notice him. he’ll collect little tufts of fur that smells like firestar or feels like his coat and put them in his nest. longfire where firestar never gives up on longtail, even when he retires to the elder’s den. they still hunt together almost everyday.

he's just shy

added id, thank u curlfeatherstar !

The Prophecies Begin starts the same, where Longtail attacks Rusty and is initially hostile toward him. He saves him from the river as usual but instead of their dynamic being ignored they start having a mutual respect for one another after Tigerclaw is exiled, and Fireheart actually sees that Longtail is loyal to the clan instead of Tigerclaw.

Swiftpaw dies, and Fireheart comforts Longtail, something we don't really see onscreen in the books. It's then that they actually start being friends, and Longtail's predjudice against kittypets gets resolved, and Firestar even takes him to visit Princess at one point, and Longtail becomes friendly with Cloudtail. So it's not like a "oh he still is a kittypet xenophobe but Firestar is his only exception" kinda thing.

Then the battle with Scourge happens, Whitestorm dies, and instead of Graystripe being deputy (i still don't think he deserved it >:/) Firestar makes Longtail deputy; I think this would have worked narritavely really well in the books, as it shows development in Longtail's character and because Warriors isn't big on redemptions (they only said on Longtail 'oh he was good all along just misunderstood lolsies') so I want Longboi to become a good person D:

Then Longtail gets blinded by the rabbit as normal, but he still remains deputy and finds a way to live blind like Jayfeather did, because fuck abelism in these books and the fact that Longtail had to retire early because of his disability!!

Then this is up for your interpretation, but I like to think Firestar and Longtail fall for each other in the end,, idk i love me a good well written rivals to lovers :D and Sandstorm is the surrogate mother and Squilf and Leaf happen (i just think in this timeline it would be cute for Longfire to happen, but in the current timeline when they were still kinda on ehhh terms? yeah, not cute!)

And Longtail doesn't get crushed by a tree, he lives until the Great Battle when Firestar dies, and he becomes Longstar with Squirrelflight as deputy! :D which tbh, he would make a much better leader than Brambleshit will ever be

Fireheart x Longtail?

Ship It

What made you ship it? honestly, i don't remember lol. it's been so long since i started shipping them, but i think it had something to do with longtail's growing acceptance and respect for fireheart/star?? i just loved their relationship in canon

What are your favorite things about the ship? the history... also that scene where tigerclaw tries to drown fireheart but longtail is like "BRO" and saves him dfmgndfh
