Do you think he actually loved Leafpool or do you think at least some part of him saw her as a replacement for Feathertail?

I think he genuinely loved her. I see Feathertail and Crowfeather like a teenage crush (he was an apprentice, she was a full grown warrior).
He was devastated by her death. He also seemed to really respect and care for her. I might be biased because I love them as a ship.

I think he actually loved her, maybe even more than he loved Feathertail, if I’m being honest. Even after they were forced to split due to Leafpool having to take the medicine cat role after Cinderpelt’s death, he still clearly loves and cares for her, even moons later. Out of all of his crushes and mates, I think Leafpool really was the one for him.

I think he 100% loved her. How I see it is that ever since Feathertail died he thought he could never have someone like her ever again. Once he met Leafpool he didn't even care for her he was mean/rude but Leafpool still stayed nice and thanked him making him probably surprised of how nice she was being. He kept on trying to push her away by being mean but Leafpool still kept on staying nice making him fall in love again but he knew he shouldn't but no matter what he couldn't stop. On the day Leafpool almost fell down the clift he decided to tell her his feelings for her making Leafpool start to question her own emotions and soon they knew they were in love with each other that's why they decided to run away so there would be nothing keeping them away from each other. Sadly once Leafpool stayed with her clan you can tell how heartbroken Crowfeather was but he decided to hide his emotions to not show his pain. For Leafpool she was still in love with Crow as well she even wanted to name Hollyleaf, Crowkit.

i view leaf x crow as true love. they are each others one true love. crowfeather's only true love is leafpool. he had a high school crush type of love with feathertail, and its been said by vicky feathertail wouldn't chose him over her clan anyways so they never would have worked out. and i don't believe he ever loved nightcloud that way. he only loved her because he respected her as a senior warrior, and also because she is the mother of his child (even if you dont love someone, if you have kids with them, that thing always bind you together in some kind of way, love or not).
leaf x crow is true love and no one can convince me otherwise. i hate how crowfeather's trial was written by someone who input their own opinion and made it seem like he didn't view leafpool was his true love, and instead made him think about feathertail instead....he shouldnt have. his true love is leafpool. he should have thought more about her, not feathertail.

I agree. Especially since doesn't Leafpool give him advice and act as kind of a calming presence to him in that book? I think his relationship with Leafpool, as tumultuous as it was, was more mature. Crowfeather cares about his Thunderclan kits and has nightmares over Hollyleaf's death, he's sad when Leafpool dies. I just love them. I also love that Crowfeather and Leafpool don't regret their time together. I think that says something - it ended poorly but they wouldn't change anything

Him and Feathertail were like a high school boy having a crush on a grown college girl, lol. I always found it a bit weird, honestly. And he and Nightcloud never loved each other.

Not really....imo I don't think it was real love. He pushed her away constantly during the journey, much to her bewilderment. Then when he saves her, he says he saved Feathertail, then suddenly blurts out his feelings to her right after, and Leafpool looked so caught off guard from it. It felt very rushed, and honestly I feel like Leafpool went along with it because of it being a "fleeting" feeling for her. She had a reason she could use to rebel against her destiny and position so she was gung ho about the relationship. It came off to me that Crowfeather only had affections for Leafpool because she reminded him of Feathertail, someone kind and sweet, and seeing her almost die in a similar way made him have flashbacks to the cave. So in a way they both had something to gain from the relationship, but it never felt genuine to me. I guess that's why it also ended as quickly as it started too, considering Leafpool chooses her clan over Crowfeather, and Crowfeather quite quickly took Nightcloud as a mate, if we're going by the time frame of Leafpool's Wish. Later you can see that Crowfeather is very bitter about the rejection, lol, even when he's supposed to be focusing on his actual family, it's quite petty, because it leads him to neglect his actual family. And then in turn reject his other family too, the three, while also throwing Leafpool under the bus. I think when the final battle came, the death of Hollyleaf and Breezepelt's attempt to kill Lionblaze finally brought them to a more tolerable understanding of one another. And then by CT, they're both matured past their pettiness and silly fleeting feelings they once used to have for one another, so thank goodness for that. Honestly, I think they're better as they are now, not a couple, but still on good terms only because of their children. (If only BrambleSquirrel went into the same direction...) I'm also glad that Crowfeather didn't take another mate either, at least not while he's still alive, I don't think he needs another one at this point. So I was relieved that Nightcloud rejected his offer again, and he seemed to have taken that rejection much more maturely than he would have in the past. My guess is that in StarClan he'll end up with Feathertail, and the two of them can start over without any baggage from other relationships. It makes sense considering their feelings for one another seemed to be very consistent as well, from StarClan, Feathertail still loved Crowfeather and looked over him and his kits. While Crowfeather, even as of CT, was still thinking of Feathertail, and in the main series still longed and mourned for her while in a relationship with Nightcloud. So yeah I can see them being a thing probably. I guess the best-case scenario is he ends up in a poly relationship with Feather and Leafpool, but considering Leafpool and him are past one another, I'm not so sure on it.

I view it as true love. It was the most mature one out of Crowfeather's ships. He was willing to sacrifice everything for her, and the sweet scenes are just lovely. He was devastated when Leafpool died, and they both clearly loved each other even when they were forced to split up.
I really hated CT, for numerous reasons, including how Breezepelt and Nightcloud were portrayed, but really, I hated how it wrote that Leafpool and Crowfeather was entirely past one other, and how Feathertail was the one and only.

On Crowfeather's part, it might have started off initially as a replacement for Feathertail when he saw Leafpool (she was similar in that she was gentle, stern, kind, sweet, soft-spoken) but I'm pretty sure it grew into true, genuine love for Leafpool for the cat she was.

As much as I dislike them as a couple, I think Crowfeather genuinely did love Leafpool, she definitely was not a Feathertail replacement. I think Crowfeather knew Feathertail was irreplaceable. Sure he may have liked her for similar reasons that he liked Feather but not as a replacement. However I’m not sure you could say he loved Leafpool more than Feathertail. He initially wanted to die after losing Feathertail because the pain was so unbearable. I think he truly loved them both.

I felt like he genuinely loved her, but she reminded him a lot about Feathertail, wich could have been another reason to attract him to her in the first place. Homever, when they really became mates, he saw her for who she was. If that makes sense?
