#tinysnow

So my idea for the Tinysnow au is that after being attacked by Tigerpaw and running away, Tiny winds up in Windclan where he’s found by a patrol. They take him back to camp cause the warrior code says you gotta take care of kits even if they aren’t yours, and also this poor kid is hurt and scared out of his lil mind. Besides, sure he’s a kittypet, but he’s little and its dark.

Talltail, upon meeting this kid, notices he’s got some similarities to Jake, (with my versions of them for this au, him and jake have the matching white paw, and Jake has blue/green heterochromia, his blue eye matches Tiny’s) and after hearing his story, decides to adopt Tiny as his son, naming him Tinykit, later Tinypaw (Tall dad his Tiny son)

Theres some pushback from the clan, but Talltail refuses to back down on keeping Tinykit. Tinykit/paw deals with a fair bit of bulling and hazing from the other apprentices and older warriors, but that just pushes him to prove himself even more. He eventually earns the warrior name “Tinysnow” and later mentors Onepaw/Onewhisker instead of Deadfoot.

He goes with windclan when they’re driven out of their territory, and harbors a resentment towards shadowclan for many moons to come, much like how he’s harbored a grudge against Tigerpaw/Tigerclaw since their meeting.

When Fireheart and Greystripe come to bring Windclan home, Tallstar confides in Tinysnow that he’s certain Fire is also Jake’s son, like Tinysnow is. He walks with Fireheart and Onewhisker on the way back, wanting to learn more about how Fire came to join Thunderclan.

When they stay in Barley and Ravenpaw’s barn, Tinysnow is confused why Ravenpaw is there (seeing as he's the "great and powerful tigerclaw's" apprentice), and ends up prying the story out of the trio (Raven/Fire/Grey). He tells them he’s not surprised, and recounts his own Tigerclaw story to them, reassuring them he’ll have their back if Tiger ever tries anything else.

He also goes with the group to bring Fire and Grey back to Thunderclan territory, and gets in a fight with Riverclan before heading back with Deadfoot and Onewhisker. After that, Tinysnow and Fireheart meet up at every gathering to share news, and sometimes extra times since Tinysnow never had any siblings other than Ruby and Socks who always mean to him, and Fireheart never really got to know his siblings other than Princess.

No art for this one cause my hand hurts today, but here’s more Tinysnow lore!!

When Thunder and Wind are on bad terms due to Thunder harboring Brokenstar, Tinysnow is among those who attack thunderclan camp, he and Fireheart have a brief confrontation about Thunderclan harboring Brokenstar and about it being a betrayal of the warrior code. The battle ends before they really have a chance to fight, but Tinysnow is bitter about it for a while

He comes around eventually, but it takes time

Niw, to briefly take the focus away from Tinysnow: When Tigerclaw is driven out, there is further canon divergence. He gathers up anyone from Brokenstar’s old crew who’re still alive, and takes them to the twolegplace (its close to thunderclan so he can keep tabs for his revenge) where he finds Bone, leader of bloodclan in this au. Tigerclaw challenges bone for leadership and wins, taking over bloodclan. He then FORCIBLY takes over shadowclan after finding out they’re weak from sickness, and brings Bloodclan with him to keep his new clan in check.

Back to our boy

Despite tensions still being high between Windclan and thunderclan at the time, Fireheart risks traveling to Windclan to tell Tinysnow that Brokenstar is dead, and what happened to Tigerclaw, so by the time Tigerclaw becomes Tigerstar, Tinysnow already knows what’s up.

Due to Tinysnow’s distrust of Tiger, he confides in Tallstar what he knows after Tigerstar becomes leader of Shadowclan (including why he was exiled). Tallstar trusts his son, and keeps a careful eye on the wind/shadow border after.

Tigerstar still does the dog pack plan, Bluestar still confronts Windclan cause she thinks they’re stealing prey, and it still goes more or less the same. Fireheart mediates between the two clans to have a peace talk, but it he gets accused of betraying Thunderclan first his half brother. Bluestar still dies saving Fireheart from dogs, and Fireheart becomes leader

Skipping ahead, Tigerstar convinces Leopardstar to join Lionclan, and gives Windclan and Thunderclan an ultimatum to join or else. Obviously, Tallstar and Firestar refuse, and Tigerstar leaves them with a foreboding message about making the right choice when the time comes.

Tigerclaw has to have Blackfoot pin Tinysnow to the ground to keep him out of the way, but still kills Gorsepaw in the center of the camp. Tinysnow vows to Onewhisker that he’ll get revenge for this

Bone has been quietly plotting against Tigerstar every since their first battle where Tiger stole leadership of bloodclan from him. He murders tigerstar in his sleep the morning of the day Tigerstar had given Wind and Thunder to give their answer, ripping out his throat so terribly that it could not be healed even by Starclan. Tawnypaw and most of Shadowclan fled to Riverclan in fear.

Windclan and Thunderclan meet, ready to battle Tigerclan, and instead have Tigerstar’s dead body dumped at their feet by Bone. He tells the Tigerstar, and by extension Tigerclan is dead, and gives them three days to leave or die, revealing behind him the full number of bloodclan warriors (A LOT, i imagine they’re most of the strays in all of twoleg place)

Firestar rallys all four clans together, including help from Barley and Ravenpaw, and forms Lionclan. They go to war, Firestar still looses his first life to bone, but is kept from having his wound worsened to the point of not being able to be healed (like Tigerstar) by Tinysnow jumping in to his defense. Firestar wakes up from loosing his life and the two of them finish off Bone together.

Bloodclan scatters, many of them only being there out of fear for Bone, and aren’t heard from for a while (they’re too busy having an internal power struggle and dealing with their lessened numbers)

What would you like to have in 2015 that you lacked in 2014?

I said this previously but I think a larger support group would be nice. Also a stronger sense of self so I can rely on me when things aren't going well.

What song will always remind you of 2014?

That dang nightcore Scatman song and nightcore Cotton Eye Joe

What did you want and get

Well I know who I am now which I think is always a journey. I know what is me and isn't me. I know what behavior and action defines me. Also, I'm better at recognizing abuse. Dropped out of college.
