Story: 

It was too unfair. 

After all he had been through, Tawnymoon couldn't have died like this! 

Any other cat would have been proud of the life Tawnymoon had lead. Though he was deaf, he had risen above his early hardships to become the deputy of MorningClan, a duty he relished with all his heart. He and Mottlefrost was the most envied couple in the entire Clan, and he loved all of his kits, both his biological litter and his one adopted son, with the ferocity of a wolf. 

He mentored four apprentices and cared for them just as much as he did his kits. He always took in sick loners who he found on patrol and confronted the other Clans’ leaders when they trespassed on MorningClan territory... a decision that would cost him his life.

He had confronted NewtClan for stealing prey from MorningClan territory, and that foxheart Hazelstar had denied it. Tawnymoon was furious, but after talking it over with Quietstar, they decided it would be better for them to confront NewtClan at the next Gathering.

Before he could do that, though, he was ambushed on patrol by NewtClan warriors and captured. He could have gotten away had he not been gesturing at Sedgeclaw and Fidgetfrost to run. Still, Tawnymoon had full faith in Quietstar to come negotiate with Hazelstar and break him free. 

But only two moons in his prisonership, he caught blackcough and died.

It was completely unfair! He still had so many things he wanted to do. He and Mottlefrost had just started discussing having a second litter of kits. He had spoken with Quietstar about mentoring her nephew, Hornetkit. Barkfur had finally gotten a mate. Worse of all, he never got to say goodbye to any of his loved ones.

NewtClan took his last days away from him. 

NewtClan must pay.

He began visiting MorningClan cats in dreams, telling them what had happened, and that Newtclan must pay for what they had done. It worked, and soon a MorningClan patrol had broken into NewtClan camp and killed Hazelstar. 

But Tawnymoon wasn't satisfied just yet. He revisited the MorningClan cats and told them to keep going, that he wouldn't be satisfied until every NewtClan cat that had participated in his capture was dead and in the Dark Forest where they belonged.

They obliged, of course. That was expected. What Tawnymoon should have expected was for the NewtClan cats to strike back. 

The war was brief, but it was bloody. Half of both NewtClan and MorningClan were wiped out. Quietstar lost four of her remaining six lives fighting those battles. Grayfire, Barkfur, Mottlefrost, Gorsepelt, Sedgeclaw, Ivywhisker, and Duskmuzzle were all killed fighting in his name. 

Though Tawnymoon was happy to be reunited with them all, he knew it shouldn't have been like this. Hounddusk, Marshswoop, and Slatethorn, three of the cats whose dreams Tawnymoon had visited, and who had been killed in the war with NewtClan, agreed with him. 

They went to the previous leader, Swiftstar, and told her of what he had done, and she came to him and told him he was exiled from StarClan. 

Though his family and apprentices protested, Tawnymoon accepted his fate with his head held high. At least this time, he was able to nuzzle Mottlefrost on the forehead, tell her how much he loved her, and say goodbye to all of his gathered loved ones before slinking away into the Dark Forest.

--Submission by @starfalcon555​

--They found this Warriors generator that acts as a mini version of ClanGen, letting you play out the entire lifetime of a single cat and pick their friends, lovers, and more! The link is here: https://perchance.org/warrior-cats-life-game 

--After having their first two runs end in failure during apprenticehood, they grew attached to Tawnymoon and thought his death was some bullshit, so they wrote this on the fly XD

--Quietstar has an INSANE backstory as well. She was never leader or deputy, but elected after Swiftstar and her deputy died in a greencough outbreak in rapid succession!

--Tawnymoon is a good teacher, but has horrid social skills. As a young warrior, he brought back a loner who wanted to join MorningClan, only for that loner to take one of Swiftstar's lives.

both named after their dads' previous mates, Mottlefrost and Spottedbark :3

TAWNYMOON!

He died of blackcough! Characteristics of that you see are:

brown-to-black spots on his tongue

--dark brown / red mucous (I mentioned to Star that perhaps the reason blackcough is so deadly is because it causes your blood to thin, making you bleed easily without being able to stop it).

--dark eye-rings (really just to make it differ from residences with yellow/greencough)

I also decided to make him ruffled but not as ruffled as he would have been with another sickness simply due to how fast it killed him--he didn't spend weeks sweating in a nest.

I have FurzeTawny on the brain now

and I was looking at Furze's ref and noticed that he likes the smell of baking cookies

so what if Furze and Tawny have a kit and name them Cookiekit

and Tawnymoon isn't even doing it to be a troll (at first) he's just being bluntly honest because that's just how he rolls

oh my god yes
