#ioth

as a reward for being so good and patient w me, have this.

nothing here is really spoiled, but it is an excerpt from the first chapter, so if you're super anti-spoiler, this one's probably a skip.

Making friends with the enemy... ^p^

messy sketches for my genshin fic in CH 7 <3 - Inversion of the Heirophant

yeah...

it's probably pretty obvious why i wanted this, but uhhh i write a lot about how leopardstar and stonefur are partners, y'know?

assorted ioth quotes just bc i want the excuse...

Leopardpaw stands in front of him. "I'm going to be leader someday," she says, "and you're going to be my deputy." She's nearly a warrior, moons older than Stonepaw, but she looks at him like it is fact. Like it is kismet. Leopardpaw jabs him. "You need to work on your holds."

Stonefur would have given his life, would have fought and died for RiverClan, would have told Leopardstar when her arrogance blinded her and still fought by her side in every battle. After all, it's what he's done his whole life.

Stonefur has been a fighter his whole life. He has been Leopardstar’s partner in battle; he has been the leader of countless raids; he has awkwardly stood over Mistyfoot’s kits, wondering what one says to cats who haven’t even opened their ears.

anyway, i could never pass up a chance to include that.

i can't remember if i named it anything, but it's just...an understanding. a person you know as easily as breathing.

i actually...urghhhh okay so i've never seen pacific rim but i DID read a really good fusion au once and so i don't know if this is from the movie or what but there's a scene where two characters meet four hits to four hits exactly and it's stuck with me my whole life and.

leopardpaw and stonepaw fight and their breathing falls in line and they could take on the world if they stand back to back.
