How would you change arcs 2-4 if you could? Rereading the books right now, on POT, and can’t help thinking about ways the series could have been different. I think:
- LeafCrow should have had better development (maybe crowfeather was injured and had to stay with Thunderclan for a time?) - Something more should have been done with Leafpool and Squirrelflight’s mindlink (Maybe in OOTS Squirrelflight would have made a really great dark forest spy and Leafpool could have been patching her up and watching her dreams or something) - Bramblesquirrel could have worked better as rivals-to-lovers if they had been competing as warriors for deputyship or Firestar’s favor (not exactly how this would work out with Graystripe’s disappearance timeline) - Hollyleaf should have been the third cat, and while I don’t hate how dark forest arc was stretched over two series (it was a big one), I think the Three should have played a larger role in the battle

I'm on team "Breezepelt should have been the fourth cat" because if OotS era Breezepelt choosing good was cosmically required to defeat the Dark Forest, then I would have believed there was a real threat.

I know it would get far too complicated and annoying to keep track of, even across two arcs, but what if each Clan had a Three? Even further, what if Hollyleaf was actually WindClan’s Third cat? (I gave her the ability to see perfectly in the dark [even better than cats normally do. She can see in the total absence of light], so it could be easy to miss but also work with her living in the Tunnels, as well as being ironic for the end of Po3) While this is fun, part of the fun of Hollyleaf was that she wasn’t the Third cat. Maybe that kind of angst can be put onto Ivypool? Idk that’s what I’ve got haha.

- Give Leaf and Crow actual development
- Have Brambleclaw train in the DF because he wanted to get to know Hawkfrost and steer him away from Tigerstar
- Do something with that mind link between Squirrel and Leaf besides dump it after Midnight
- Make the DF battle more grandiose
- Make the Three being reincarnations relevant to the story or just get rid of it
- If we're going to make Firestar the Fourth, at least give the man a power
Here's a novel idea... let Brambleclaw in on the secret :/
