So it's pretty popular in this fandom to have AUs where Squirrelflight breaks up with Brambleclaw at some point and then get together with Daisy, Moonlight, or stay single after the fact. My question is that if you do subscribe to the idea that Brambleclaw and Squirrelflight would be better off apart, who would you pair Brambleclaw up with if anyone at all? And let's set this break-up at the very least after TNP, because that's generally when it's set timeline wise(and it also precludes the more popular choices of that I have already heard)

Brambleclaw and Sorreltail would be cute, but only if Sorreltail stopped being with Brackenfur.

I'd prefer it if Bramble and Squirrel broke up and both stayed single.

ย ย ย ย No one. Brambleclaw may have matched Squirrelflight's fire but that just created a bigger fire. Brambleclaw comes off as someone that demands control and authority, going as far to get upset when he's questioned. (This is shown in TNP as well, and highlighted through Moonrise with Stormfur's POV.) He would be better with someone that is more passive. However that isn't healthy because it sets him in a potential echo chamber relationship. I don't think he's suited to have a concrete mate if he should have one.

Why pair him up with anyone at all? I'd just have him (and Squirrelflight, for that matter) remain single.

Daisy. Daisy is a more calm spirit of a character, she's very loving and sweet toward her mates, and is also understanding toward others and their feelings. She's also an amazing mother, raising two of her own litters, and even helping raise several others throughout the clan's generations. She's obviously a loyal partner, who wants someone that she can depend on but also make her happy, and she couldn't get that from her first two relationships. Since Bramblestar is pretty strong, and protective, I think Daisy would appreciate someone like that and have a sense of security if she was with him. I like the idea of Daisy settling down with Bramblestar eventually, especially since her and Spiderleg were already broken up by Long Shadows. I like the idea of her comforting Bramblestar after he's devastated from Squirrelflight lying to him, and the two of them eventually get closer together. Daisy, not being clan-born and living on the farm most of her life before that, would have a better outside perspective and would be more sympathetic. She would understand what it feels like to be left high and dry by a mate, and understands the pain of feeling lonely in one's own clan. Bramblestar is an incredible father, and I think he would love to help Daisy raise a litter if they ever had one together eventually. I like the idea of instead of Sparkpelt and Alderheart, they have different kits. It would be nice to reuse some older suffixes from Bramble's family like Golden, Mistle, Lynx, Snow, Swift, etc. And him being like a father figure to the kits Daisy already has would be really nice, I also doubt so many of her kits would have been axed in the narrative so quickly if she was with Bramble. Hazel, Rose, Berry, Toad, and Mouse all had notable characters even for background cats, and imagining Bramblestar being fatherly with them would have been very sweet, and maybe even give one of them a better chance at deputyship after he became leader. Personally I think Bramblestar is just fine as a mate, it's the lying and distrust that Squirrelflight caused between them that understandably shook their relationship. No relationship is perfect, but everyone has limits, and the same goes for Bramble, he pretty much asks the bare minimum of his partners, which is trust and loyalty, and if one can't give that then why bother with the relationship at all?

Bramblestar has to be single. He has a huge ego and he demands control and authority all the time. If somebody disagrees with him, he'll get furious.
If he gets paired up with a headstrong character, they will be bickering half of the time. If he gets with a passive, calm character, its risky because it could become unhealthy. It's better he stayed broken up until he started working on himself.

Daisy. since her and spiderleg never get back together, i bet he and daisy would have a lot to talk about and learn from each other.

Brambleclaw and Sorreltail would be cute, but only if Sorreltail stopped being with Brackenfur. i wish bramblexsorrel happened too...if bramble never left on the journey, he would have stayed in thunderclan and continued to get closer to sorrel. or if he and sorrel made a promise to be together and they'd both stay loyal while he was gone on the journey and get together once he returned. this would have solved the stupid drama between him and squirrelpaw on the journey too.

I have way too many AUs in which Brambleclaw and Squirrelflight break up and become happy with other mates instead, so here are the ships for both of them:
Brambleclaw x Leafpool (in an AU without CrowLeaf)
Brambleclaw x Feathertail (in an AU where Feathertail doesn't die)
Brambleclaw x Sorreltail (in an AU without BrackenSorrel)
Brambleclaw x Daisy (in an AU where they both break up with their previous mates)
Brambleclaw x Jingo (in an AU without characters just showing up for one book)
Brambleclaw x Stormfur (in an AU where Stormfur stays with the Clans and without StormBrook)
Crowfeather x Squirrelflight (in an AU without CrowLeaf ever happening)
Thornclaw x Squirrelflight (in an AU where he is not made out to be xenophobic)
Shrewpaw (named him Shrewleap) x Squirrelflight (in an AU without him dying)
Tawnypelt x Squirrelflight (in an AU where RowanTawny doesn't exist)
Sunrise x Squirrelflight (in an AU without The Sisters being such sexist mousebrains)
Asexual Squirrelflight (or an AU where she is very much fine without a mate)

I would have liked to see how CrowSquirrel would have worked out since I don't really like any of his other canon ships. BrambleSorrel would have been interesting but I like BrackenSorrel too much. So BrambleDaisy then! After reading Maple's post I'm officially all for it.

Cedarheart. They + Tawnypelt and Rowanclaw can go on double dates. All jokes aside I really like the idea of him with Leafpool or with no one.

I wouldn't mind him and Daisy, that might've been cute. I feel like Brambleclaw just needs someone on the same wavelength as him, which Squirrelflight definitely isn't. Maybe Hazeltail.
