do you look like me; do you sound like me; do you turn into your effigy? by kiittenteeth (@tvchirps)

“That so?” Ashfur said, not sure why he was entertaining the thing. “And what happened to her?” “She died,” said Hollykit matter-of-factly, nodding with the information. “Fell from that big rock and died. Just like her stripe told her she would.” She paused for a moment, as if recalling the story Squirrelflight had told her, before adding on, “But she saved everyone. She knew she was gonna die if she did it but she did it anyways, to save everyone.” Her green eyes focused on Ashfur. “Do you think you’ll die saving everybody? Like her?”

I enjoyed the writing style. It was an interesting take on both Clan folklore and the hypothetical Ash-Holly relationship. I hope I see more works from this author about them, because they outdid themself.

Everything in Ashfur's monologue is scrummmptious. He's so jaded and critical, I think even if Hollykit told him Brambleclaw came up with a cure for cancer he'd have a problem with that.

That final line packs a mean punch.

Also sorry for having to re-post some recs, the formatting doesn't let me do much with them otherwise. Mb

Keep Calling Me by celeste_treecat

Bluestar isn't one to hide from the past, not even when it comes to Thrushpelt, and decides it's time for honesty. A small conversation in the unbound cosmos.

Never read this with calming dog music playing in the background, this quite possibly may have murdered me.

Everything in this, from the beginning up until the last word, is perfect. I'm so fucking astounded, it's crazy. There has to be a special word for the bittersweet pain you feel reading this.

Because I love you, I love you, in your entirety and the way you chose what you chose. In my mind, you are frozen in time, suspended in the moment when you felt the least distant. Forever Bluefur, forever young, forever on the precipice of the tragedy which'll almost kill you.

I don't know which part of this work's creation hit me hardest. It's hard for me to choose. Mosskit? Putting it to rest once and for all? I think Bluefur's misguided sorrow takes the cake, though.

It's not a chain to love you. If I am to love someone for the rest of my life, you are not the worst person for it.

So, Bluefur Forever.

Five Flowers by aoloquentazure ( @aoloquentazure )

A series consisting of five works (as of May 2026) organised in a chronological order:

now you see me

grow a garden (just for you)

flowers don't grow on trees (but they're still out of reach)

always present minded

come to light

I was nooot expecting to get hooked. I really, really liked it, though.

Becuz I've seen some AUs where Hollyleaf is part of the three, or Ivypool, but this is throwing it even more upside down. And I do love how refreshing it feels to see different characters take the stage!

Mousewhisker's pieces are my favourite, both because I love his power, and how it ties into him being Leafpool's apprentice here, and because I love his relationship with Poppyfrost. I both want and don't want to see them together in this AU. Hehehe

I also really love the power easter egg, you'll know which one if you read all the installments. Hazeltail in the last one was very intriguing as well. I kinda like whatever she has going on with Lionblaze? Yeah you do not stay up for three consecutive nights to watch your friend sleep lol.

More more more! Feed! Me! More!

Little Words, Big Wounds by Tilly_Hyena

Mistyfoot is half-rogue. She’s known that since she was an apprentice, when Graypool pulled her aside with Stonefur and told them. It changed the way Mistyfoot saw herself, but it came with an appreciation for her place in RiverClan. Noone else knows that she’s half-rogue. This causes some social problems.

Some details of the writing style were interesting to me, like Mistyfoot's conversation with Mudfur and the implication of Clan-level differences in kit-rearing. Cats do curse, some insults are very much Warriors-esque though and no less vile for it, lololol!

Safe by Satyr

My OC Mosquitoheart is a very timid cat.

This is one of those fics that you miss because they are so unassuming. It is stunning.

I rarely get invested in OCs from such short snippets, yet somehow it was this unassuming fic that almost made me cry, instead of anything else.

Because how do you put it into words, a mind-body that goes haywire at the slightest stimulus? A life ruled and limited by the way adrenaline pounds in your arteries and veins. Forever-solitude, unswayed by your own desires; your consciousness jailed, the cell your own overreactive self.

even before i met you i was far from indifferent to you by florapaw ( @florapaws )

“It’s nice. It’s peaceful. You don’t treat me like I’m young and stupid, and,” She hesitated to continue. “And it feels natural. Like it’s what I’m supposed to do.”

An explorarion of Jayfeather and Dovewing's relationship post-OotS. Ties strongly to their past lives and Jayfeather's time as Jay's Wing.

A comfortable, quiet read. It would be nice if the Erins developed the Three's relationships more, considering what they went through together.

The Quietest Battles by celeste_treecat

... are sometimes the hardest fought. Ivypool tries to break up with Fernsong. Things don't go exactly as planned.

What a nice read, especially when I feel like Fern/Ivy's character traits tends to get very oversaturated in fics, to the point of being unpleasant.

I was pleasantly surprised, at times, by the ways Ivypool and Fernsong interacted with each other, and had this "why didn't I think of that?" thought of wonder in the back of my head!

I enjoyed the glimpse into Ivypool's internal monologue. It felt very "her", if I could say that - the dichotomy she feels between her and Fernsong, the doubt, the fear of having to be gentle, etc.

Hi

Sorry for the lack of updates. I was homeless and generally not good, but I'm getting back to my hobbyist reccing.

deja vu by orphan_account

Who does Leafpool see? How much of Cinderheart is hers?

A series consisting of two works, 100 and 200 words each:

mirror, from Leafpool's perspective

remind, from Cinderheart's perspective

I don't have much to say about this one. It's obviously short, but I like the idea. The only thing I was irritated by was how repetitive the mentions of the names were in the first two or three paragraphs of the second work.

Hi, question! Is there any certain order to the fics you’re posting?

I usually go from the back of the Warriors tag to the front, so roughly, yes - sometimes I go and pick differently, though (right now I'm looking at January 2026 fics, for example).

Also, as you've probably noticed, I have a bad case of feeling intimidated by longfics, so I tend to put off reviewing those for longer :-)

[everywarriorcatsfic]

That one Anonymous author who keeps posting badly-written vore fanfiction in the tag makes me seriously want to go to a psych ward or cry.

Edit: my friend talked me into reading one. It was everything I feared and worse. The worst takeaway is, however, it seems I was wrong: there is more than one Anonymous. There is a legion writing kitty vore.

Don't look it up. DON'T.

Coda by RavenDreamer (@ravendreamer (I hope!))

“We’ve lived a thousand lifetimes here, Midnight. We predate the Clans, predate the Twolegplace, predate the lake itself.” “Need to eat still, yes?” A conversation between Midnight and Rock, long after the Clans as we know them.

Two creatures who predate everything that came to be, who saw the Clans form and fall apart, watched them leave and return... A sort of final farewell from one to the other.

The erosion of time. No thing is immune to the passage of seasons, the gradual fade into obscurity and then, nothingness. Midnight ebbs... She ebbs... The world ebbs around her, with her.

What Horror Lies Before Us? by badgerstep (@northofdelphi)

Behold, the Dark Forest. Run while you can.

I rarely read pieces so short, especially when it's topics like gore, but this was the most beautiful, awe-inspiring depiction of the terrors of the Dark Forest.

It gave me shivers when I read it. Just under four hundred words and I'm never gonna forget it. It's definitely one of my absolute favourites amongst the works I've read. Divine.

My heart is rotting ❤️

There's Always the Exceptions by mandaree1 (@mandareeboo)

Stonepaw is a medicine cat whose mentor won't give him his name. Gooseleaf is his brother with a secret. Honeyflame may or may not be Stonepaw's mate, who also may or may not have recently helped their mutual friend Mousedapple with her desire to have kits. Reedstorm is a half-rogue in a Clan that's never forgiven her for it. They all collide.

Sometimes you open a work with original characters and everything and a plot that doesn't stand out a lot but isn't bad in the slightest either, and it just has this... How to say... Aura of magnificence and finery. And then you feel flabbergasted, because how did this author not get more recognition. And then you see their name and you realise this is the three-time Kitty Nobel Prize winner of 2016-18.

It's slice-of-life-ish, but that doesn't take away from its value. The lack of external plot shifts the focus to the characters; without any other driving force, their personalities shine through, and at the same time it shows just how well-crafted they are. Personally, I love slice-of-lifes for this! In a way, the lack of a plot-crutch to fall back on makes them harder to write as well, in my opinion.
