While Gullflight moves forward, Mudstream can't leave the past behind.
< an exploration of trauma and grief. >
< in which healing isn't linear, and happy endings aren't always easy to accept. >
. . .
A SUMMARY OF PREVIOUS EVENTS:
- Two moons ago, Mudstream's son, Rainpaw, was killed by a fox shortly before he was due to become a warrior. It's been raining ever since. One day, a young cat is found injured on the Thunderpath, and to Mudstream's astonishment, he looks strikingly like her lost son. It's impossible, and yet she cannot believe otherwise: her son has returned to her. Meanwhile, the incessant rain finally stops.
- After spending several weeks recovering, the injured cat is named Gullpaw and apprenticed to Mudstream. Gullpaw struggles with the darkness of his thoughts; he is running from something. He had intended to die that day on the Thunderpath, and yet he still lives. He has refused to speak to anyone since the Clan took him in, especially Mudstream, who seems to think he's someone he's not.
Mudstream and her mate, Petalthroat, have had a strained relationship ever since Rainpaw died. At last they have a conversation about their grief, and the two reconcile. Some moons ago, an apprentice ended his life at a place called Gutter's Leap, where the cliffs fall into the sea. Will history repeat itself? Mudstream, Gullpaw, and Petalthroat's brother Slatewave patrol the border near the Twoleg fields. When rogues attack, the outnumbered warriors send Gullpaw for help. A rogue cat follows him, so Mudstream leaves Slatewave to rescue her apprentice, only to find that he has killed his assailant. Gullpaw continues running to camp, and Mudstream returns to the border to find that Slatewave has been killed. At camp, Gullpaw speaks for the first time to warn the Clan. That night, Gullpaw has a nightmare about Slatewave's death, and dreams that his family has also died. Rainpaw, too, appears to tell Gullpaw to live for those who can't. Gullpaw and his denmate Robinpaw set out to avenge Slatewave's death. Robinpaw was Rainpaw's best friend, and the two may have fallen in love if not for Rainpaw's untimely death. At the rogue cats' hideout in a rundown Twoleg barn, Gullpaw kills the rogue leader. The Clan leader, Pinestar, intends to give Robinpaw and Gullpaw their warrior names for ending the rogue threat. Robinpaw is named Robinheart, but when Pinestar asks Gullpaw if he will protect and defend the Clan, Gullpaw refuses. He flees the camp, overwhelmed by confusion and despair. Petalthroat, Mudstream, and Robinheart follow him. Petalthroat realizes that Gullpaw is headed for Gutter's Leap, and remembers his own past: Petalthroat and his brothers were born to a kittypet whom the Clan sheltered during leaf-bare. Their mother returned to her Twolegplace with her only daughter, but her sons remained with the Clan. Petalthroat and Slatewave adjusted well to Clan life, but their brother Slatepaw never felt like he belonged. Eventually, in a fit of despair, Slatepaw threw himself into the sea at Gutter's Leap. Now, Petalthroat hurries after Gullpaw, hoping to prevent another tragedy. The three warriors manage to catch up to Gullpaw in time. After a tense exchange of words, they learn that Gullpaw has had a difficult youth, and that he has struggled with depression after blaming himself for the infighting in his family. The three convince Gullpaw to step away from the edge by assuring him he will have a place in the Clan. They return to camp just as rain begins to fall. The Clan's medicine cat, Garjaw, starts Gullpaw on a regimen of herbs to help him manage his mental health. Petalthroat reveals that Gullpaw's mother is his sister, making Petalthroat Gullpaw's uncle by blood. Mudstream announces that she and Petalthroat are expecting a new litter of kits. Gullpaw visits Rainpaw's grave, where another apprentice named Sootpaw finds him. Sootpaw admits that she, too, has struggled with her mental health. The two begin a tentative friendship. Time passes. Gullpaw receives his warrior name, Gullflight. He, Robinheart, and the newly-named Sootstep embark on a journey to Gullflight's former home in Twolegplace, where Gullflight will say his final goodbyes to his birth family before returning to live full-time with the Clan.

. . .
chapter one NOW
There's a word for the feeling rushing through Mudstream's veins like fire, like ice, like lightning. She is burning and freezing and paralyzed all at once, as the emotion grips her lungs with vice-like jaws, as she feels every hair on her body stand on end. She is breathless with it; it is a vibrant and vital thing, yet fragile and quivering like a newborn rabbit's heartbeat.
It is terror, perhaps. Or is it hope?
She wants to retch. She wants to cry. She wants to toss back her head and scream, to pierce the heavens with a sound that is both rejoicing and lamenting at once.
And here is why: Mudstream is pregnant.
. . .
Is this a second chance or a divine prank? Any other she-cat would be celebrating—and Mudstream wants to celebrate, really she does—it's just that every scrap of joy she's ever managed to scrounge together, every flame of hope held jealously to her breast, it's inevitably stolen from her, torn to ragged shreds before her eyes.
Her siblings, her mother, her kits, even the Clan of her birth, all were lost in the end, lost to the black hole that haunts Mudstream's every step, swallowing everything. Her heart is crystalline, an ice sculpture of grief, and she's just waiting for the next wrecking ball to come along and shatter it.
She has to actively force herself from visiting the birch grove where her first litter of kits are buried. Fernkit, Fawnkit... Rainpaw. Mudstream does not dare step a foot into that place, at least not in her waking hours; and yet in her dreams she's already digging a fresh new grave, ready and waiting for the children she cannot let herself hope will live.
Because it's almost worse, to hope—to envision a future in which her kits are alive and well, because then she has every opportunity to fail them, as Mudstream's mother failed her. Perhaps StarClan was merciful with her first litter, calling them home before she could inflict some unforgivable harm.
She cannot hope, because hope will lead her again to delusion. Hope is what allowed her to look at Gullflight and see Rainpaw's impossible return. Hope is what let her force this false reality on an innocent apprentice, and she'd nearly lost him to the sea because of it, because she had been willfully blind to the hurt written on his own heart, because she was too busy being consumed by her own hurt. How arrogant she had been, and how foolish, and how cowardly.
Coward. An apt word, Mudstream thinks, to describe the cat she has become. She still cannot face the griefs weighing on her heart; even now, moons later, she has allowed time to make a monster of the emotions she cannot seem to bear. All of her sorrow, her fury, her anguish—they have congealed into a cancerous tumor, poisoning her blood, and the insurmountable task of excising it is near enough to send her into hysterics.
To put it in simpler terms: She is afraid to feel, and so she hides from her emotions, and in doing so allows them to build and build until they are too large and fearsome to face.
Hope and terror battle for supremacy within her, turning her insides into a maelstrom. At least, that's what she tells herself: it's just nerves, or stomach cramps, or something, anything other than the kicks of healthy growing kits. And yet she cannot continue to pretend. She may be a coward, but Mudstream is not a fool.
She is pregnant, and there is nothing she can do to control whatever may come next.
.
. .
One night, one and a half moons into her pregnancy, Mudstream slips silently from the nursery and finds herself walking almost without thinking toward the sea. Not to the nearby shore that houses the tidepools Rainpaw once loved, however. No, further and further south, until the forest begins to thin and the pawsteps she leaves in the soft ground fill with water. Here, to the rushing river and the dying wetlands that surround it. Here, to the estuary where saltwater and freshwater meet, where, in her youth, she used to watch the seals play in the brackish river mouth.
MarshClan. This is the name of the Clan that once lived here. CoveClan's southerly neighbor, its twin, born from rock and water, sea and sky. MarshClan. A Clan which no longer exists.
The river is swollen and brown, its banks inflated well beyond their old limits by the deluge from a recent downpour. From what Mudstream remembers from the old MarshClan scout reports, Twolegs have begun filling in the marshes upstream, straightening the river, forcing it into a new shape; and the river has not reacted kindly to being meddled with so. It has grown into an angry and volatile thing, prone to flooding and mudslides like the one for which she was named, which had destroyed the old camp and forced MarshClan to move ever northward. She doesn't remember much of her childhood, but what she remembers is anxious and unstable. Mudkit had grown up in two different nurseries, each destroyed by floodwaters and abandoned; Mudpaw had watched as the river that raised her grew murky with Twoleg filth and uprooted vegetation; and by the time she was Mudstream, MarshClan was a fast-fading memory. But she remembers enough, enough to know that nothing in this life is for keeps, and attachment leads only to loss.
Her mother had abandoned her to the mercy of the marshlands when Mudstream had been just eight moons old. Roseleaf had known better than to bet on losing odds, after all, and had found life as a rogue cat preferable to lingering in a dying Clan. Mudstream's older half-siblings had done their best to raise her, then, but hadn't they, too, left her behind in the end, as MarshClan's final remaining warriors dispersed like dandelion seeds to the wind?
It is easier, then, to keep her distance, to remain detached. There's no point in wasting her love on family, because she has never known family to stay. Those who say that blood is thicker than water must not have struggled to keep their heads above the churning floodwaters that destroyed Mudstream's Clan; they must not have seen the way the seething sea rages black and dangerous during a storm like the one that drove Shalepaw to Gutter's Leap; they must not have endured the pounding rains that fell the day Rainpaw met that fox in the woods.
Water has decided the course of so much of her life; and so to water she has returned, to cast her fate into its embrace once more.
Mudstream stands at the water's edge, the floodwaters lapping her paws, and in the moonlight she closes her eyes.
Please.
The desperate prayer in her heart culminates in a single word, and she doesn't know whether it's salvation or destruction that she prays for.
The ocean, for all its wisdom, does not respond.

yeah honestly the character list was a Lot and i wanted to find a way to include pronouns and important relationships without it being too cluttered or clunky, but i'm happy with what i came up with & you will not believe how long i struggled to choose names for the clans,,, and how long i spent researching types of rocks and trees and ocean terms,,, or how i've come up with a moonpool-adjacent holy place that probably won't even come up in the fic but i Will find a place for it bc it's cool

this is just to say that i have about 1000 words written for the first chapter, it's just been a busy week. i have to appreciate that i have a lot of things that i didn't have when i wrote the first fic: things like a job, and a driver's license, and a computer capable of running the sims 4. my point is the chapter is still happening, i am just a very tired adult instead of a very tired student now. thanks for your patience <33

oh & a quick note about how this story will work: i'm planning on jumping between the past and the present of mudstream's life; the present should take place in chronological order, but i can't say the same will be true for the flashbacks, those will be posted as they fit thematically with the story happening in the present. it's my way of including backstory without making the story one huge exposition dump lol

i tossed a summary of the first fic on the first post, just in case anyone needs it!
meanwhile i've unearthed my old warriors books and have been rereading the first series before bed, as a treat. i love how the first books are so wildly different to the new ones re: traditions. what happened to sharing tongues? or taking prisoners? and apparently kits used to be allowed outside the camp before being apprentices? plus everyone was so aggressive and ready to throw down at a moment's notice, i love that. the new clan cats seem so desensitized to everything now lmao. kittypets becoming warriors? forbidden romances? magic powers? "sure why not, this may as well be happening" meanwhile the old forest cats had aneurysms about every warrior code violation. i'm having fun

Sadly it was not. I mean ... ups and downs. My work/life balance sucks too. But I got a new job that I like, so there's that. ^^ In fact, I love my job so much I'm forgetting the time while I'm there (but that may still be because it's so new).

Not much is worse than hating one's job. So if ya have one you like it helps one's mental outlook in so many ways. Sure hope you feel better soon in that dept. For me anxiety is an issue, and has been for decades, but compared to when it 1st knocked me on my arse, it is better now.

2022 life update: ive settled into my job more, and im going to start fostering a cat!! her name is jezebel, and she's a shy former feral i met at the shelter i help out at. she's the type to huddle at the back of her cage and hiss at people who pass by, but she's shown me she's willing to learn to trust me. im over the moon excited. working with cats is the most rewarding thing ive ever done, and i thought you all would like to hear about it. no news on this story, im afraid, since the last few months have been busy. hopefully once spring comes, the sunshine will thaw my writer's block. may 2022 be kind to you all.
