#maplecloud

Jesus He Knows Me (Ghost) - Ashfur possessed Bramblestar reveling in his new power, promising to Thunderclan that everything will be fine, they'll all go to Starclan if they just believe in him hard enough :) also showing him getting more dangerous, like throwing around Squirrelflight, snapping at Hollyleaf, and murdering Ferncloud.

Labour (Paris Paloma) - Sky Petal looking back on how much Clear Sky has saddled her with as he loses his mind, the work she has had to do for him, the abuse she has had to deal with and how much she genuinely fears the cat she once loved so much, culminating in her throwing him out of his own camp.

Introduction to the Snow (Miracle Musical) - Mapleshade, as she dies, seeing an image of her children in Starclan, grown into the cats they would have become, practically crying with pride over who they could have been. When the music changes (after "You'll live forever tonight.") The scene very suddenly changes to the Dark Forest, Mapleshade panicking and realizing she has well and truly Fucked It.

The Nowhere King (Centaurworld) - The trapped and brainwashed spirits singing to Shadowsight, Rootspring, and Bristlefrost, both a boast, and a desperate warning.

I Love You So (The Walters) - Yes Sky Petal again. Her relationship with Clear Sky is not the happiest, but he always promises to be better and tells her "I love you so". It cuts to Sky Petal realizing that he will never change, and putting her foot down. She remembers his promises and internally begs for him to let her go and leave. His "I love you" is met with an angry "so?" Before he finally leaves the camp to the new Skystar.

Little Girls (Cameron Diaz) - Mapleshade in the Dark Forest VERY unhappy with the many young apprentices running around that she is forced to deal with as part of their "Don't break their Innocence yet" phase (like Hawkfrost meeting Ivypaw in the field in canon) and wanting to be more than "the Dark Forest Queen".

What If I Forget Your Face (Cover by Jacob Sutherland) - Waspwhisker terrified that he is going to forget the little details of his beloved Fallowfern (and children but she is the focus) as he makes his very long journey back home to her with the other captured Skyclan cats and a few kittypets, not knowing what is happening to his beloved clan.

LosT (Bring Me The Horizon) - Hollypaw and Maple Cloud navigating the Dark Forest trying to get home after her soul is wrongfully imprisoned, accidentally causing an uproar in the DF as she accidentally helps some of its inhabitants find each other. Ends with her waking up back in the Tunnels, having made it back to her body, relieved.

weapon (Against The Current) - Cloudsnap wrestling with her dark thoughts as she trains in the Dark Forest, not wanting to be a bad cat but it's the only way to get out her frustration and anger towards others. She gets stronger and more powerful, but Darkwater (daughter of Tangleburr and Waterfern (Leopardstar's sister) helps soothe her rages, and she turns on the Dark Forest, who only saw her as a weapon.

Frick... idk how long this took me. Probably 9+ hours? I’ll just go with that.

This is in the world of @warriorsredux, but not the actual Redux. This takes place way later, during PO3. I’d stumbled across an ask about Lion, Jay, and Holly resembling the Lion, the Tiger, and the Leopard respectively and it inspired this piece.

Maplecloud - fluffy cream tom with rich brown points

Family: Sycamorefang (father), Hickoryseed (mother), Tangleroot (brother) Gender / Sexuality: tom / demisexual  Personality: sweet, in love with love, truly loves his clan, the goodest boy, loves to help, literally never inconvenienced  Backstory: Maplecloud was an apprentice when he was in love with his denmate, Briarpaw. Briarpaw was the medicine cat apprentice. They were hopelessly in love, knowing they couldnt become mates. Still, Maplepaw would offer to help collect herbs, and tested Briarpaw so she always knew answers when their medicine cat passed. So Maplepaw knew a lot about what it took to be a medicine cat. When Briarpaw fell sick and died, Maplepaw was inconsolable. All he did was train, and sleep. When he had the energy, he would ask the medicine cat if he could help. Something about collecting borage, or wrapping up poppy seeds in dock leaves, reminded him of Briarpaw. Helped keep her memory alive.  After successfully completing his warrior training, Maplepaw’s mentor asked him honestly, does he want his warrior name, or his medicine cat name? Maplepaw realized he could keep Briarpaw’s memory alive by becoming the medicine cat. Taking over his loved ones position, Maplepaw became Maplecloud, and he is so happy to help. Genuinely loves his job, and always tries to embody the love that him and Briarpaw had for each other.. Ideal Partner: a warrior apprentice who trained beside him, the person who was his and briar’s third awe you two get close when your third dies, and you become a good warrior and maple becomes a med cat. Awe. Imagine if you  became a leader just so you could share tongues with briar again because maple does going to the crystal caves Position | Clan: Medicine Cat | Thrushclan

Frondwhisker - pale cream long haired tom

Family: Cozyburrow (mother), long list of siblings and half siblings Gender / Sexuality: Tom / Demisexual Personality: fatherly, warm, loves kits, super helpful, never seems inconvenienced by your request, ever, really genuine, turned things around, learning to be happy go lucky again even tho his mate and unborn litter are dead. Backstory: After the death of his pregnant mate at the paws of a badger, Frondwhisker was devastated for a while. The queens would do their best to bring the Tom back up, and only the medicine cat asking for an extra set of paws to aid in a knitting, did Frondwhisker feel alive again. Watching new life be brought into the clan filled him with a light he had lost since his mate’s death. He was asked by the medicine cat if he could hang around the den and help, so it was no surprise when he ended up making the trip to the crystal cave to become a medicine cat.  Since he got his first vision of his mate, Frondwhisker has been an incredible, kind medicine cat. With no interest in finding another mate, he’s a big sweetheart who sees the whole clan as his kin. He’s a good listener, and always has a soft spot for younger kits. You’ll be surprised to hear that Frondwhisker can mimic the purr that mothers make to their kits. Ideal Partner: his dead mate fr thats it Position | Clan: Medicine Cat Apprentice | Thrushclan
