AYO it's been well over two years since I opened a thread for writing requests and I'm feeling it's time to do that again.
SETTING EXPECTATIONS:
- this is NOT first come first serve; I'll pick which ones I feel I could write the best scenes about - It MUST be AU/headcanon. I'm not writing alternate POV of canon events. - NO OC. Sorry, that isn't the point of this thread. I take OC requests in the fanfiction side of the forums - I'm not likely to pick anything post OoTS. I haven't read anything past arc 4, so unless your AU is very descriptive about the events it changes and the characters it entails, I simply don't know enough about the later arcs to write about them - I WILL write about ships if they are part of a greater AU(or just adorable/my own headcanon) but I will only RARELY pick headcanons that are only ships and nothing more than that. You don't want to see me try and fumble through a romance short anyways - I WILL write crackfic. Not nonsense crack that you make up on the spot for this, but if it makes sense and makes me laugh... - I love love love evil!AU and Clanswap!AU. Esp that are well thought out and justifiable. - The more details, the better - Seriously I love reading AU ideas. Even if I don't choose to write them(too complex/long, unfamiliar with characters ect), I'd love to see them! Please share your AUs and headcanons with the world so we can all enjoy them!! - Please mention what character's POV you want it from if that's important to you. Otherwise, you can leave it up to my discretion.
WHAT YOU GET:
- 500-2k scene - maybe more if I'm really into the scene - yeah that's it. it's a writing request after all. - Please no repost-ing off site, thanks (at least without asking first)
SLOTS - Sol + Trio (WIP) - At least two, but I might open it up to more if there's good AUs to pick from~

A Snowfur lives AU, but one where Goosefeather was wrong about Thistleclaw being the cat Bluestar had to be wary of and it's instead her own sister.

An AU where Bluestar and Thrushpelt are mates and Mistyfoot, Stonefur, and Mosskit grow up in ThunderClan. Bluestar is appointed deputy after she catches Thistleclaw trying to kill Sunstar and stops him a la Fireheart. Then Blue and Thrush have a second litter, who are Fireheart and Princess.

Imma be honest I didn't read BP so I'd have to look some stuff up but this might be an interesting take might mesh it with other Bluestar AU apparently people are fans of that

AU where Leafpaw goes on the Journey to the Sundrowned place instead of Squirrelpaw. I've heard this one a lot from the fandom lately! Any idea what spurred its popularity? idk what scene would be best to showcase their differences tho. I'm not sure it would MAKE a huge difference. Did Squirrel do anything other than be annoying?

I think it would change in the matter of who remains to witness the destruction of the forest. Squirrel paw is also a warrior apprentice so she’d be less likely to make friendships with other Clans. So, any relationship, either sister would have with Mothwing would be during the lake journey. I also don’t see Squirrelpaw getting along with Sorreltail as well, so the focus would also be more on Spiderpaw, Shrewpaw, and Whitepaw, as they would be her fellow apprentices. (Plus Squirrel and White as friends would be very cute considering one of the cats that goes missing is Cloudtail as well.)

An AU where Leafpool's kits get abandoned and are found and raised by Sol instead. Sol teaches his foster kids to hate the clans and claims StarClan is flawed. When the three grow up, each of them are sent to one of the four clans along with Sol (he's still with ShadowClan.)
I'd love to elaborate on this more if you're interested! (Edit: Honestly the whole concept I have in mind might be too complex for a 500-2k word sample. No pressure though!)

Leafpaw’s half of the first three books were so sad to read, so I remember some of her chapters well. Would also make Hollykit’s death more painful now that I think about it, since Squirrelpaw would have more interaction with her older brothers. (Larch Kit’s death as well)

How about an AU where Hollyleaf is one of the Three and can make anyone tell the truth on command? The first time I posted this, a powers!Holly came out of it! I really love anything AU with the Three tbh ;-; That one was a simple Holly inherits Dove's hearing AU (along with a Lion/Jay/Holly + Breezepaw sib AU and a WindClan!Hollypaw AU). I have it + a part 2 on my Ao3 still I think Here

Little disclaimer here. Obviously Sol would not give the three their clan names so their canon names would just be placeholders for now. I feel like he'd choose something to do with the elements though?? (Maybe Sleet, Flare, and Lichen could be Jayfeather, Lionblaze, and Hollyleaf respectively. The names are still a work in progress though.)
Feel free to give them different names if you want to go through with this, Brownie!
Jayfeather heads to WindClan where he forms an unlikely alliance with Breezepelt. They talk about about father figure issues, saying how they're too bossy, which angers Crowfeather. Crowfeather is a strong advocate to get Jayfeather exiled. The two bicker back and forth a lot and come to terms with his similar they are in personality. They do not know they are father and son.
Lionblaze goes to ThunderClan. He's quite ambitious and a people-pleaser to Sol, so he does his best to take advantage of Firestar and Brambleclaw's trust to gather intel. Brambleclaw sees some of his father's personality in Lionblaze and becomes sort of a mentor figure. Firestar is a bit wary of this idea though. Meanwhile, Leafpool and Squirrelflight talk in secret and are shocked to discover a rogue has taken their children in and is using them as plot devices to tear up the clans. This is a huge topic of debate at the Gathering.
Hollyleaf stays with RiverClan. She's still the same strict rule follower we know and love and is the most loyal to Sol's beliefs. I specifically chose RiverClan so she doesn't have to deal with meeting her birth parents and can spend more time with the medicine cats instead. She becomes good friends with Willowshine and becomes curious when she reveals that Mothwing doesn't believe in StarClan. During this time, Hollyleaf comes to respect the warrior code and eventually breaks away from Sol's shadow. Redemption arc we love to see it!!
Trying to keep my ideas vague enough so they're open to your interpretation!

Now LEAF and Bramble wow that actually... might fix like half of the series tbh I'd imagine they could totally get away with breaking the medicine cats don't have mates rule, if only because they're of the same Clan. And it would make for even more Squirrel/Ash drama...

... Trying to keep my ideas vague enough so they're open to your interpretation! YES YES YES to all of this tho!!!! AH that is such a neat AU. My only concern is Leaf abandoning them at all, that doesn't seem like her... Tho I could totally see her maybe even befriending Sol or getting drawn into his charm sometime in the earlier moons and then when she finds herself in trouble and he offers to help the situation she'd be willing to let him fix it and take the kits? I could see that I could even see CROW being the one to befriend Sol and then bringing Leaf to him as an outsider and begging her to let him take care of them for her. Doesn't he have a backstory with raising kits in SkyClan? He'd totally play that card if he had it to convince them he'd be a good Parent Figure (totally without nefarious intentions) ESPECIALLY if he heard of the prophecy of the Three through SkyClan!!! He'd Know!!! I'd write THAt scene for sure. (with extra research... becaues uh I haven't read any of that in a long time)

And it would make for even more Squirrel/Ash drama... Yeah 😅 I just really can't stand Squirrelflight, she is way too controlling towards Brambleclaw imo. This is the same au where I give different powers to the 3. Hollyleaf gets visions from the past, Jayfeather sees stuff happening in real time, and Lionblaze sees stuff from the future

OOOH I FORGOT THE THREE PROPHECY CAME FROM SKYCLAN. That's such a good idea I didn't think of that! Sol could've definitely heard it through word of mouth from Echosong.
I think Sol would first visit both Leafpool and Crowfeather during Twilight when they run away together. Maybe he could even have ties with Midnight in some way?? So he appears more "trustworthy??"
Then after Leaf and Crow fight off the badgers they still meet up in private. Leafpool says she's pregnant and they run off again to find shelter so she can have her kits. Sol then conveniently shows up and offers to take the kits under his wing perhaps?? He says something along the lines where they need to stop running away from the clans?? There's a couple of plot holes here but I think it could work.

I always thought no one knew where it originated from and that Skywatcher was just passing along a message.

I always thought no one knew where it originated from and that Skywatcher was just passing along a message. That's kinda what I meant. TLH also implies it and probably every other prophecy previously came from Rock and Midnight.

Tiniest of bumps~
Thanks both of you for clarifying! It's been a while since I read Firestar's Quest, that's all. Sol learning about the prophecy is only a small part for this whole AU so I don't want to dwell too long on it.
I think I may stick to the idea of Sol getting the prophecy passed down from Midnight somehow if that's the case?? this is all just a big work in progress so take my ideas with a grain of salt since they may change drastically

AU where the Three are Berrynose, Hazeltail, and Mousewhisker, and the prophecy is more like “There will be Three, kin of no kin, with the power of stars in their paws” with them having no clan blood but being chosen by Starclan to save the Clans, like Firestar was.
Or, AU where the Three are Cloudtail, Squirrelflight, and Leafpool.
