Rules are simple. You can change any death you want, but the cause and timing must be the same. I'll be using the following template for simplicity's sake and feel free to copy if you want. Original: Replacement: Cause: Book: Explanation: Original: Rainwhisker Replacement: Spiderleg Cause: Tree branch Book: Between Sunset and The Sight Explanation: I really liked Rainwhisker and hated that they killed him off between arcs. I'd replace Spiderleg with him and have him be Daisy's second mate instead. He'd be a great father and Daisy deserved better.
Original: Pikepaw Replacement: Beetlenose Cause: Unknown (BloodClan battle injuries?) Book: Before Moonrise Explanation: Mistystar and Reedwhisker deserved better. I picked him over Primrosepaw since he's a tom and RiverClan had a serious lack of young toms at the time. I chose Beetlenose since he's an older warrior and has lived a full life.
Original: Molepaw Replacement: Poppypaw Cause: Greencough Book: Between Sunset and The Sight Explanation: Largely to balance out the gender ratio. Lionblaze and Jayfeather never had a male friend. I replaced with Poppypaw since litters of four should never all make it.
Original: Honeyfern Replacement: Briarkit Cause: Snake bite Book: Sunrise Explanation: I hate, HATE this death. She was literally killed off for being happy. I much prefer BerryxHoney over BerryxPoppy. A kit dying in her place would have been even more tragic.
Original: Briarlight Replacement: Plumkit Cause: Belly sickness Book: River of Fire Explanation: Since I killed off Briarlight earlier on, I obviously had to switch her actual death. I picked Plumkit as she was very sick and we haven't had an on-page kit death in a very long time. She also comes from a litter of four.
Original: Foxleap Replacement: Cloudtail Cause: Injuries Book: Dovewing's Silence Explanation: Cloudtail was gravely injured and not only survived, but went on to serve for many more moons! Foxleap was a young cat and deserved to better.
Original: Hazeltail Replacement: Birchfall Cause: Greencough Book: Between Dovewing's Silence and Bramblestar's Storm Explanation: For the sake of bio diversity.
Original: Robinkit Replacement: Perchkit Cause: Drowning Book: Forest of Secret Explanation: They killed off 90% of toms born in OS. I replaced with Perchkit because of the rule of four.
Oirignal: Perchkit Replacement: Sedgecreek Book: Rising Storm? Explanantion: Obligatory switch. Sedgecreek was an older she-cat.

This seems morbidly fun!
Original: Willowshine Replacement: Mothwing Cause: Killed by Ashfur Book: The Place of No Stars Explanation: Not only was Mothwing older, but also for character moments (Mistystar having to live with the guilt of presumably never making amends with Mothwing in life, Ashfur taking the life of another "codebreaker" and one who also happens to be Bramblestar's sister).
Original: Bright Stream Replacement: Idk Cause: Carried off by an eagle Book: The Sun Trail Explanation: Storm was useless, Bright Stream could've easily been Thunder's mother and nothing would've changed. Though if the replacement is Clear Sky, it would've been interesting to see how Bright Stream would've dealt with it, how it would've changed her, and how it would've affected the formation of SkyClan (maybe she takes 'Sky' for herself or one of her kits in honor of her mate).
There's alot more, these are just the two that come to mind the most.

I love this idea!
Original: Strikestone Replacement: Tawnypelt Cause: In battle Book: Veil of Shadows Explanation: Tawnypelt has lived a MUCH longer life than Strikestone and has had a lot more page time, it's time to let these old TNP cats go, and start focusing on the future.
Original: Frondwhisker Replacement: Scorchfur Cause: In battle Book: Veil of Shadows Explanation: Scorchfur's not that old, but he has gotten to live more of a life than other cats have, and I really like Frondwhisker's prefix.
Original: Antfur Replacement: Snowbird Cause: Getting the brunt of the tree attack Book: I forgot what book it was in... The Silent Thaw? Explanation: Snowbird is an old cat, who has been a warrior since Tigerclaw's Fury (Ratscar was listed as a warrior here, and they're littermates), who has a huge family, and Antfur was this young cat, not related to anyone else in ShadowClan.

Original: Hollyleaf Replacement: Brambleclaw Cause of death: Killed by Hawkfrost in the last hope Reason: it just seems fitting that he was killed by the one he killed, and I feel like his arc was mostly complete. Hollyleaf, on the other hand, just felt rushed, and she didn’t get enough development after her redemption. It gets even worse and that we have almost no mention of her after her death, and how she feels about everything, which would’ve been a good way to tie up loose ends (A single short scene in SqH is not enough, and it doesn’t even make a lot of sense). Granted, we could still see her in a light in the mist, and I was always hoping that she would be up to something with the emphasis on characters who have died influencing the living world, but this seems not to be the case so far. I’m not sure how the possession arc would go, and who would replace Brambleclaw (it probably wouldn’t be Squirrelflight as she has the same problems as Brambleclaw), but I wouldn’t mind seeing someone different there. It be interesting if she finally had to reveal what happened to Ashfur and the feelings of her indirectly being the cause of everything.
Original character: Spiresight Replacement: Tigerheart Cause of death: falling off a drawbridge in ThS Reason: I feel like the narrative got a lot of Tigerheart even without his own story. Spiresight was a cool character, only to be killed off quickly and not given too much development. Granted, I’m not sure who would be the replacement leader (probably Twanypelt) but I would rather the spotlight focus on newer characters.
Original: Ferncloud Replacement: Daisy Cause of death: killed by Brokenstar in TLH Reason: I’m normally not one for keeping older characters alive, but Ferncloud’s death really bothered me. It’s probably because the reason for killing her off because fans didn’t like that she was just in the nursery all the time, doesn’t sit well with me because that perception can be attributed to poor writing and not exploring what she does. If they were going to kill off a character for that, Daisy seems like the better option. She caused a lot of controversy both in the box and in the fandom for her decision not to fight unless she was extremely desperate, and it took a long time for her to become useful to the clan or even feel at home there. Granted, I know she got some good development and gets even more later on, especially in her own story, but at the same time her development could’ve ended where it was in the last Hope, and I would’ve felt satisfied. After all, it would’ve been quite a powerful development for someone that was terrified and only joined for shelter to not only be decent in battle but die fighting and save others lives. But unfortunately that never happened. Not to mention having Ferncloud alive would make the whole situation with the current arc more interesting.
