The Lake Will Run Red...

.....

Hawkfrost x Leafpool is my go-to ship when it comes to Hawkfrost and I find it way more interesting, like with Squirrelflight and Hawkfrost. Like with what I said in relation to HawkSquirrel, I don't think Leafpool would wind up killing or harming Hawkfrost.

Unlike what I said with HawkSquirrel, I think she WOULD discover that she's expecting Hawkfrost's kits. I think Hawkfrost being the father- or even one of the fathers of the Three- would be very interesting. This would give Lionblaze a direct tie to Tigerstar and thus fueling his training in the Dark Forest.

So, scene, Leafpool and Squirrelflight, birth of The Three but unlike in canon, the two decided to stay near the Windclan birder and while Leafpool has problems with kitting, Starclan doesn't intervene. Noone shows up, they are alone and panicking.

Squirrelflight, scared for her sister's life and the lives of her niblings, makes a split second decision and runs to Windclan's camp to get their medicine cat. She runs along the Lake's shore to maximize her chances of not getting caught. Along the way, she meets Breezepaw? Who 1. Shouldn't be an apprentice nor 2. Even alive at this point. Doesn't matter, they are weirdly nice to each other, Squirrel asks about his hunting, Breeze answers its going well and that's it.

Once Squirrelflight enters the camp she immediately sees the leader who- isn't Onestar? But I'm also pretty sure isn't Mudclaw? Their deputy is a cat named Bread (or something like that, not clan name tho) that is really mean to Squirrelflight. The leader isn't as aggressive, more interested in why does even here.

Squirrelflight demands they give her their medicine cat because they are needed, Bread starts hissing at her when Squirrel sees their medicine cat. It's MOTHWING???? Then suddenly she sees a memory/deep thinking kind of thing and we are implied 3 things: 1. Leafpool's kits are Hawkfrost's, not Crowfeather's 2. Squirrelflight is in love with Mothwing 3. Squirrelflight is worried her sister will steal her crush. MothSquirrel is not a ship I even thought of but alright????

Bread is still hissing and insulting Squirrel so she gets mad and knocks Bread over and stands on his chest while growling that's she's taking their medicine cat whether he likes it or not.

Reasons:

Jay x fallen is doomed and I liked the early scenes w Jayfeather and fallenleaves more than hollyleaf and fallenleaves.

Breeze x hare is just silly to me, plus they were both dark forest trainees.

Tree x alder because I think it'd be nice plus I like how strange and calm tree is in contrast to alderheart.

Fire x silver is because silverstream deserves better than graystripe/hj

Tawny x feather mostly because they're journey cats but also because I think they work well w each other (plus both are crowfeather love interests lol)
