basically a remastered version of an au i posted about a while back where dovewing and ivypool are dawnpelts kits and born in shadowclan
- dovewing is part of the prophecy via chosen kin- her great uncle brambleclaw is mates with squirrelflight, whos firestars daughter. i like the idea of chosen family being counted as kin, not just direct blood.
- tigerheart is her mentor, and kind of her “cool uncle” figure. she does not have a romance with him. she still goes on the beaver dam journey with tigerheart, and forms a friendship with lionblaze that way.
- when lionblaze realizes shes part of the prophecy, he convinces her to secretly meet with him and/or jayfeather for prophecy reasons and junk. this replaces her secret meetings with tigerheart.
- dovewing confides in tigerheart due to feeling closer to him than dawnpelt (dawnpelts bond is stronger with ivypool, conversely). she also tells ivypool about the prophecy because lion and jay arent there to constantly pressure her to keep quiet.
- there still is sister drama, sorry. ivy does remain jealous of dove for being chosen by starclan and is lured into the dark forest that way. some of her anxieties about being a descendent of tigerstar are also exploited. but there is more open communication between dove and ivy.
- replacing some of the sister drama is dove hating lion. dove forms a strong bond with russetfur and is there at the battle where she is killed, and hates lionblaze for it. she knows it was an accident since he actually explains that to her, but she cant help how she feels and how much she misses russet. their friendship takes some time to repair.
- doves love interest is redwillow instead! red is about the same age as tigerheart so i figured it worked, and i like the idea of her having a tragic romance with a cat who chooses the dark forest over her. we also learn more about red and why he picked the path he did. dove was pregnant when he died and has two kits, who she still names shadowkit and lightkit (lightkit just becomes a combo of light and pounce since both didnt need to exist lol). part od dovewings silence is her dealing with grief over redwillow.
- ivy and pinenose get a romance, since they were apprenticed at the same time. spikefur is a surrogate for their lits. weaselkit still dies in the dark forest battle, and ivy struggles woth feelings of guilt for ever having trained in the dark forest, and gets a mini arc with pine where the two forgive themselves for it maybe idk?
- not related to dove being in shadowclan but breezepelt is the fourth cat. he dies killing tigerstar in repentance for his actions and had a subplot throughout the arc where he formed a friendship with jayfeather. firestar still dies in battle but inflicts heavy wounds to tigerstar which helps breeze take him down.
- tigerstar 2 never happens. if rowanstar has to retire somebody else can be leader but tigerheart remains a warrior. tigerhearts shadow also doesnt happen since dovewing has no reason to leave her clan. tiger and ivy do help her with her grief over redwillow tho.
this is. p much everything i have so far. would like to hear peoples thoughts/additions/etc (or anything i might have missed/overlooked)
