thinking about some possibilities for the Warriors au/rewrite I would like to do.
It would probably mess up the whole "Tigerclaw takes over RiverClan to make TigerClan" story but it's interesting.
I just love What Ifs
(another what if is: what if feathertail survived and stayed with the tribe instead of stormfur)

Spoilering so post can be more easily ignored, since it’s a lot. Graystripe likely would have been starved and kept a prisoner. Perhaps instead of Stonefur forced into the decision of killing his and his sister’s apprentice, it would be Graystripe instead. Firestar and Ravenpaw watching their former ThunderClan friend dying at Blackfoot’s claws. At least that’s the more dramatic route, it’s Tigerstar so he likely could have just left Graystripe to starve in RiverClan’s camp with Mistyfoot and the others until freed by ThunderClan. Now if Graystripe stayed after the whole BloodClan business, it would be very interesting to see who Firestar would choose as his second deputy. (And the cat that would have to clean up Fury’s mess.)
But sticking to Graystripe, I’d imagine he would be a thorn in Leopardstar’s side and would be worried sick for his kits during TNP. RiverClan suffered the least in terms of Twoleg damage and he’d be sympathetic to Firestar and ThunderClan during this time since his old home was destroyed. I do not know if he would still be kidnapped by Twolegs or not since he was taken during their rescue. If so, I imagine his return to RiverClan may not be as met with welcome paws if at all. Plus I don’t see Mistyfoot liking the addition of Millie due to her friendship with Silverstream but that could change with the potential mention of her cousin’s blessing. He might be cast out temporarily due to Hawkfrost or be outspoken against the treatment of Stormfur and Brook but his words may mean little in the face of a sign by a medicine cat. His life from here for a while would be pretty good in regards to the rest of the Power of Three arc, minus some greencough. They would have trouble during TFA due to the drought but all of the kits wouldn’t have to worry about snakes at least. (None of his kits would be in the DF in this timeline, at first glance. Although there’s a possibility of one-three being trainees due to potential bullying from their RC Clanmates, but with Millie being equally present in their lives, that could be avoided?) Graystripe has the potential to die during the DF battle, the fire in RiverClan territory, being one of Darktail’s casualties, or being killed by Ashfur. (Since I don’t know how relevant his mission in GV is since that made more sense in the Clan with a leader that may not return vs. any drama in RiverClan.) But if it was to occur the same way, the “then portions,” would be very different compared to what we got.
Very long ramble of words, I may have skipped some stuff since it’s late and my memory isn’t great right now. I tried to go about the timeline until Graystripe died but he’d have multiple chances to rejoin ThunderClan as that opportunity seems to appear a lot.

I’ll attempt the second one as well, it likely won’t be as long. Considering Feathertail is alive here and joins the tribe while Stormfur does not do either from what the what-if states. He likely wouldn’t have joined her in the Tribe and would remain in RiverClan. Potentially she made this choice here due to the reactions of her Clan upon the journeying cats return alongside her father being taken by Twolegs forcing her to make this decision while Stormfur stays in RiverClan. I don’t remember Feathertail having many relationships with the Tribe cats so I don’t know who she would be mates with or if she would even have one. (I guess if I were to give her one, Talon would be an interesting choice due to having not been allowed to return to the Tribe already.) I can see leaving the tribe remaining the same with Feathertail having less credibility within the Tribe as I see her more as a Prey Hunter than a Cave Guard. (If she is a Cave Guard here, then her role would just be the exact same as Stormfur’s and I don’t see much changing in this area. A bitter Talon having been “exiled,” by the Tribe twice now would be interesting to see along with Feathertail’s emotions regarding the situation. Returning to RC would meet similar results with protest from Stormfur that would mean little since medicine cat sign/omen. I do think Feathertail and Talon would stick around a bit longer in ThunderClan due to both of them being jaded about having been kicked out of two homes but once the situation at the Tribe is explained, either or both of them would be given some level of inspiration to return. (I guess we just get the events of Outcast a lot later in PO3 then.) After this, I don’t think her role would really change from Stormfur’s, with kit cameo appearances. However, if she did not have Talon or any Tribe cat to accompany her, I can see Feathertail just staying in ThunderClan with her father as she wouldn’t have an added reason to return unless she received another prophecy about her saving the Tribe or something.

1st What If Graystripe staying in RiverClan AU:He probably would have been forced to take Stonefur's role in getting forced to choose between Featherpaw/tail and Stormpaw/fur versus Clan loyalty during the bonehill scene considering just how much Tigerstar despised him for him being in a forbidden romance with Silverstream but also for being friends with Firestar. He would have never harmed let alone killed his own kits so a memorable sacrifice seems the most likely in this instance except if he is somehow saved before that or Stonefur is still the one to get murdered by Blackfoot/star and Darkstripe. But if he does end up dead, Graystripe's demise is surely always remembered by ThunderClan and his kits. I'm also fairly certain that Leopardstar and RiverClan would not forget his death anytime soon seeing how unfair and preventable it truly was. If he survives though, something tells me that Graystripe leaves RiverClan regardless at some point. Either after how he and his kits got treated during Tigerstar's reign or simply because of missing his Birth-Clan like in canon. 2nd What If Feathertail surviving and staying with the Tribe instead of Stormfur:Is this AU related to the Graystripe one? If so, it depends on wether or not Graystripe died or survived. Because in the case of his death I can definitely see Feathertail wanting to escape Clan life and the memories of him that come with it. Another thing is if Stormfur took her place and died instead of her while saving the Tribe from Sharptooth. Because this could make her feel even more alone among the Clans and wanting to get away from it all. As for who her mate might be if she does stay with the Tribe, perhaps Talon, Crag or Jag (RIP) could be options. But of course, one could also just make Brook her mate if the relationships are still supposed to reflect canon in this regard (and if wanted to). But if both or one of them is still alive (meaning Graystripe and Stormfur), I don't think Feathertail would join the Tribe. At least not permanently. Maybe temporarily though. If Stormfur survived, Feathertail would for sure stay with him in RiverClan and if Graystripe is still around or once he returns from getting kidnapped, I can see her joing him in ThunderClan.
