I didnβt know you were a fellow LongFire enjoyer!!
Yes!!! LongFire is such a good ship! It's probably my favorite Firestar ship (well, tied with FireSand. Call me basic, but I do also love them together lol.)
I like LongFire for the enemies-to-lovers aspect of it (which is a trope that I really enjoy when executed well.) I just love the arc of Longtail and Firestar going from hating each others guts, to grudgingly realizing that there are admirable aspects about the other, to then unabashed, unwaveringly loyalty.... Which I suppose is basically what happens in canon, just without the additional romantic aspect lol.
I wish more had been done with Longtail post-arc one in canon, in general. He didn't deserve to get side-lined so hard after having such great character development
