While I personally don't want Squirrelflight to become leader anymore in canon because she's just been in the spotlight for so long and has been through so much at this point that I'm wishing her a few more years of rest in the elder's den instead of having even more plot and stressful leadership responsibilities thrown at her, this video and its premise are still very interesting to me considering that she becomes leader in TNP here when the hardships of her life have not fully unfolded yet.

The script (taken from the Google doc):
An AU where Squirrelflight becomes Leader of ThunderClan, but then, things start to go wrong.
-The Clans live in the ruins of Greek temples
-Hawkfrost kills Brambleclaw, after dropping a crumbling statue of a soldier down on Firestar
-Squirrelflight comes to the scene and uses the statue’s broken sword to stab Hawkfrost in the throat to kill him
-Unfortunately, it is too late for both Brambleclaw and Firestar, and as his dying act, Firestar makes his daughter Leader
-But this wasn’t supposed to happen. The future has been changed and thus triggers a breakdown of the timeline
-With Brambleclaw out of the picture, Ashfur wants to be mates with Squirrelstar. She refuses, as being Leader now, that role comes first
-Ashfur, rejected, is angry
-Leafpool, still pregnant with Crowfeather’s kits comes to Squirrelstar for help, and the two of them go to the Moon Fountain (a dried-out fountain in a ruined grotto) to ask StarClan for help
-StarClan is uncaring and distant- they don’t have sympathy for the living world
-They know this world is unstable
-It won’t last long enough for Hollyleaf, Jayfeather, and Lionblaze to come into it
-StarClan instead assigns Jayfeather and Lionblaze’s roles to Leafpool and Squirrelstar, respectively. Leafpool goes blind, but she is no longer pregnant. The sisters comfort each other
-Later, the ThunderClan temples catch fire, and Ashfur confronts Squirrelstar. He has decided that if he can’t have her, no one will
-They fight, and Squirrelstar kills Ashfur
-His dead body glitches, another event that was not supposed to happen. Squirrelstar finally notices this and is terrified
-She settles into an uneasy sleep, but is plagued by a nightmare of what could have been. Jayfeather, Lionblaze, and Hollyleaf stare at her with black eyes and Brambleclaw looms above- none of them able to exist
-Squirrelstar awakes with a start, blaming herself for the destruction of her family
-Leafpool arrives, trying to comfort her sister, but Squirrelstar declares that she doesn’t want to be Leader anymore
-Again, Leafpool tries to reassure her that she’s still there for her, but reality is breaking down around them. Leafpool glitches
-Squirrelstar is terrified, realizing that she can’t take it anymore; no one else seems to be noticing but her, and she thinks that she must be losing her mind
-She runs through the forest, the scenery glitching in and out in between the Greek ruins and the traditional ThunderClan-eque territory, making it to a cave entrance surrounded by broken columns
-Leafpool, still not noticing reality or her own body breaking down around her, is still concerned for her sister, and yells at her not to go into the cave
-But Squirrelstar does, the cave entrance collapsing around her as the world glitches out of existence
-Alone, Squirrelstar floats in the middle of a dark void
