I have no idea if anyone made this but this is the base idea (and no it'll not be made a comic.)
- First, they don't lose their powers after the Great Battle
- Second, since Tigerstar was "defeated", Firestar banned any mention of him to avoid his sick ideas to roam around(no I didn't think of how this affects the Hawkfrost mini arc in The New Prophecy)
- Third, after the Great Battle, anyone who was(even if they left) on the Dark Forest's side was put on parole and basically prisoners for a bit
- Fourth, Firestar didn't die here
- Fifth, Tigerstar seemed to be finally "dead" but no Firestar didn't manage to kill him(and yes, Tigerstar is in his Dark Forest form)
- Sixth and finally, anyone from Squirrelflight/Leafpool's age and younger had 0 knowledge nor interactions with Tigerstar before this AU
So basically this AU is that after the Great Battle, Firestar prohibited ThunderClan from mentioning Tigerstar's name, which makes sense he must have SOME trauma, he also makes every former dark forest trainee what would be considered prisoners So of course it's not much until a bit later when Tigerstar(ghost) wakes up and realizes Firestar didn't successfully wipe him out
So he decides to plan how to get back at ThunderClan, he decides he needs a vessel and that Brambleclaw seems fit (I mean Bramble's big that would make sense).
However mid-planning he hears some fighting in the distance and it was Lionblaze fighting a loner The loner end up wrecked but Lionblaze however was basically left without a scratch, that made Tigerstar change plans
So Tigerstar approaches Lionblaze, and since Lionblaze didn't have any direct interactions with Tigerstar he doesn't know who this strange ghost cat is
Then Tigerstar sweet-talks Lionblaze with stuff like "you know what you can do, I can help you achieve be the greatest warrior, even like Firestar, you, kid, have great power, and they decide to keep it sheltered, I can help you train it"
So Lionblaze accepts Tigerstar's deal and Tigerstar(being the smart villian he is) first starts out as a shoulder angel, just giving small suggestions and nudges, he's more of a "dad" to Lionblaze than what he ever was to Brambleclaw or Tanwypelt
In camp nobody really cares about Lionblaze's new attitude except Jayfeather(who can see this shadow where he thinks Lionblaze is always in) Jayfeather tries to bring this up but many dismiss him.
Eventually he finds out Ivypool also suspected something because again, Ivypool trained where Tigerstar was, so Jayfeather's only option is the most untrusted cat in the entire clan
So, Ivypool makes a plan to try and get Tigerstar out of Lionblaze
It fails and the way it was executed seems like "omg Ivypool attacked one of StarClan's chosen she's as evil as we thought she is"
So now Ivypool's exiled and Jayfeather only has one person he can go to, Hollyleaf(who is a ghost in the tunnels)
He does speak with her and they have like a plan, Jayfeather will first go in Lionblaze's dreams to see if she can be there too without dying again
So Jayfeather goes but here's the thing: This doesn't look like Lionblaze's dreams or mind
While all that was happening Tigerstar has progressed from shoulder angel, to teacher, to straight up puppeteer, essentially making Tigerblaze
So Jayfeather looks around for Lionblaze and he does find him, but he also finds Tigerstar And funnily, Tigerstar looks giant, because this body is HIS now, and he has control over it. So Jayfeather and Tigerstar fight a while, and it's Tigerstar absolutely shredding Jayfeather. Eventually Jayfeather ends up pretty fucking messed up and Tigerstar commands Lionblaze to finish Jayfeather off
Jayfeather was actually scared as Lionblaze pinned Jayfeather, and with glassy/teary eyes he striked.
Jayfeather woke up in the medicine den but absolutely shattered, like the injuries transferred Leafpool immediately got to try and help him but Jayfeather was just THAT injured, he DID die.
However, someone was watching Goosefeather's(ghost) came in the den, and since he already knew Tigerstar would do that, he couldn't stand seeing a clan suffer again, so he gave a life in exchange for Jayfeather's Jayfeather woke up again and knew there was almost no real way to get Tigerstar out of Lionblaze, so he first made Ivypool sneak back into camp.
The plan was he and Ivypool would first physically attack Tigerblaze, then Ivypool would hold him down while Jayfeather and Hollyleaf(ghost) would sneak in Lionblaze's mind
In said mind, Lionblaze was basically kept in puppet strings, and Tigerstar.... he seemed like a god
So the fight went for a long time and Jayfeather learned a thing or two when he was there
They managed to make some good damage but ultimately it wasn't working because as long as Lionblaze was controlled it was good for nothing
Of course that was until when Hollyleaf was basically pinned by Tigerstar's massive paw, then he shrank a bit, why?
Jayfeather had managed to cut one of the strings puppeteering Lionblaze
Tigerstar immediately knew what Jayfeather was planning and he was fighting Hollyleaf to get to Jayfeather
But by the time he got there, basically all the ropes were cut but Tigerstar successfully lunged and he's still pretty strong without a strong vessel so he pinned Jayfeather and ripped his throat out.
Yeah that means Jayfeather is dead. And Hollyleaf does vanish from Lionblaze's mind since Jayfeather let her in
Little does he know Lionblaze is back in control of his own mind so Tigerstar decides "you know what screw the act."
They fight and eventually Lionblaze managed to deliver the final blow to Tigerstar
But when he woke up after all that he noticed a commotion near the medicine den.
He went there and.... It was a lot of cats around to see Jayfeather's body.
Yeah his brother died.
So sadly Lionblaze had two graves he goes to now(his sister(Hollyleaf)'s and his brother(Jayfeather)'s)
I'm fucking losing it over their Whole Dynamic, but they really fucking killed it with how these women going to the bathroom together really cemented their relationship. Like I legit got misty eyed when it was Jang Geum-ja, the woman of a certain age who had to come around, who brought up how going to the bathroom with a trans woman is what really formed their bond. Like holy shit?
Actually, no, I'm NOT over the fact that Pavlova Cookie says that Wildberry's love is "foolish"! I'm NOT over the fact that he said, "You know it won't work out, but you have no intention of giving up!"
Both Wildberry and Crunchy Chip are incredibly loyal to their kingdoms, and they're also both heavily involved with the leaders of their kingdoms. There is absolutely no way in Hell one of them will abandon their home and the lives they built there, just for a relationship that they don't even know will last. The kingdoms are also far away from each other (not like "on the other side of the continent" far away, but still pretty far), so it's hard to see each other as well. Like, they have letters and stuff, but those can take a while to deliver, and a lot can change from the time it takes for it to fully send. And, despite Hollyberry and Dark Cacao being friends for a long time, they're still political rulers. If they decide to go to war, Crunchy Chip and Wildberry would have to fight each other. In every scenario, this doesn't work out.
BUT WILDBERRY STILL KEEPS THINKING OF WAYS THAT IT COULD!
Pavlova says that he doesn't have any intention to give up, so that means that Wildberry probably spends a lot of time thinking over ways this could work, and ways that they wouldn't have to sacrifice anything for it to work. AND WE SEE HIM DO THIS WITH HIS DECOR ANIMATION AS WELL-
The description for it mentions that Wildberry comes here as a quiet respite to think, and in his decor animation, we pulls out a letter and reads it, before putting it back in, sighing, ✨️looking off into the distance✨️ for a bit, before walking away.
We know that him and Crunchy Chip canonically send each other letters, and I don't think that this one is from the Dark Caco kingsom (if it was, it'd probably have a chocolate button thing instead of a rose one), and, since we don't know anyone else Wildberry could be receiving letters from, that means it's probably his.
He looks energy drained, like he's been worrying about this a lot. What did he write in the letter? I don't know, but I don't really think it matters. What matters is the fact that it was probably something he was going to send to Crunchy Chip, but the way he reacted implies that he was hesitating to do so. Is it because he's nervous? Is it because he doesn't think it'll work? IDFK.
All I know is that I want them to be happy, and I feel for Wildberry, bcuz even though I've never really yearned for someone, I know what it's like to be so convinced that something won't work out, but you keep thinking of ways that it could. And that feeling is the WORST. BECAUSE EVERY TIME IT ENDS WITH YOU JUST GIVING UP AND FEELING LIKE SHIT AND THAT YOUR DREMS ARE COMPLETELY UNACHIEVABLE NO MATTER HOW HARD YOU TRY, ONLY TO REPEAT THE SAME DAMN CYCLE AGAIN AND AGAIN.
