Yes! God, I just hope they don't show their relationship as toxic and/or unhealthy, like when they threw us for a loop with Spottedleaf and Thistleclaw, Twigbranch and Finleap, and Yellowfang and Raggedstar. I know the books later show that things would get better and more sincere, especially when Rowanstar defended Tawnypelt's decision to help the Tribe in Outcast when Russetfur called Tawnypelt a traitor, but it'll leave a really sour taste in my mouth and mark on my fondness for the pairing if it starts off abusive or shows abuse on either side at some points, even under the guise of misunderstandings. Of course, as the Erins are wont to do, if they did go that route, the abusive one would most likely be Rowanstar, since that's how all the formulas for bad relationships seem to start -- with the tom. Potential couples can have misunderstandings, of course, but the Erins take it too far sometimes, then have the couples end up together Tawnypelt and Rowanstar are one of the few (...only? I can't recall any others right now, honestly) canon ShadowClan couples I like.

Culturally speaking and the way he was raised, I’m actually expecting Rowanstar to be a jerk at first, but this was before they ever liked eachother. The environment and the cats who trained him would have shaped him as aggressive and judgemental. At first he probably disliked Tawny, like Sandstorm disliked Firestar. I definately see this ship as Shadowclan’s FireSand, but more snappy, more complex and yet just as dedicated and caring. I’m okay with these two arguing but still loving eachother, or Rowanstar starting out as a jerk but slowly learning to accept and change the views of his toxic environment.
