If her kits survived, do you think Darkstar would have allowed Mapleshade and her kits to stay in RiverClan until they got older?

I think the kits, but maybe not Mapleshade. Darkstar didn’t care for Maple at all and was quite upset over her relationship with Appledusk. If the kits were alive, I think it would’ve been much more likely that she’d let them in due to the warrior code. Or at least just the kits. There’s an AU where Patchkit survives and Reedshine takes him in and raises him with her own kits and it’s adorable honestly. He eventually becomes leader

As Mothdapple said above, I think the kits would be allowed to stay if Appledusk wanted it. If Appledusk didn't want them, I think Darkstar would have sent them away with Mapleshade.

Darkstar would likely let Appledusk keep his kits and give them to some RiverClan queen. Mapleshade would become a rogue. She would probably still be pissed off and still a little vengeful and crazy but maybe not a full blown psycho.
I don’t like Appledusk but maybe he would have been an all right parent to them. The might have had it a bit tough for being half-clanned cats though.

The thought that RiverClan would steal her kits is kinda gross, and the idea that Reedshine would raise any of them is very uncomfortable. She didn't give a whisker when they were dead at Mapleshade's paws, nor did she have any sympathy for her over the circumstances. She was too busy focusing on getting her cheating mate out of trouble, and telling Mapleshade to go away. I wouldn't trust her with Mapleshade's kits as much as I wouldn't trust Frecklewish and the rest of ThunderClan. I feel like she'd end up like how Pinenose was to Violetkit, or even worse. And considering Appledusk also broke the code, and cheated on both Reed and Maple, he doesn't deserve her kits. Why reward him with her kits, and then kick her out of the clan, after everything he's done as well? Seperating kits from their mother that's done nothing but tried to protect them, only to throw them into the hands of their cheating father that never even bothered to learn their names. Even when they were canonly dead. Mapleshade has already been through enough, the idea of separating her from her kits is horrifying. Imo, if the kits survived, I'd rather Mapleshade stay for a while, but then leave when it's safer, similar to Sasha, and possibly live a better life with Myler. RiverClan would have only cared about having more soldiers for their clan, and ThunderClan would have descriminated against those kits or worse. I think the only reason she would stay in RiverClan would be to get revenge on ThunderClan one day, but I don't see things working out for her because of the tension between her, Reed and Apple. And idea that Reed would dump Apple only to get with Maple, like a lot of fan contents center around, makes me uncomfortable as well.

part of me wonders if appledusk would even want his half clan kits...at that point, he already got reedshine pregnant, so he'd have two sets of kits. would he pull a crowfeather and disown his half clan kits? or reluctantly take them in, but pull a spiderleg and not want to spend time with them?

I think Darkstar would have let the kits stay, but not out of genuine care for their well-being. She'd only want some more warriors for her Clan, and she probably wouldn't care about them any other way. In my opinion, if they survived, Mapleshade should rest for a while, leave Clan territory, and live a safe peaceful life with Myler.

I think Darkstar would take in the kits if Mapleshade agreed, since from what I remember she showed sorrow at their deaths (as well as for the warrior code) but would not have Mapleshade and only allow her to stay at the camp for a day or so to regain her strength. If Mapleshade didn't want to give up her kits, then she would still have to leave, but with them.
I'm not so sure about how Appledusk would react. It's not really clear how he felt about his half-Clan kits. He showed fatherly pride and such when he first met them, and he turned against Mapleshade possibly because he was angry at her over the their deaths, but there's no telling if he cares more about them or himself. If Appledusk did care about his kits with Mapleshade, I think he would have argued strongly with her to have them stay with him instead of taking them with her to live dangerous lives as rogues. But Appledusk couldn't simply go with them because he still had his kits in RiverClan to think about and he didn't feel the same about Mapleshade as he used to.
