Okay so I’m on this Millie/Graystripe and Mille/Silverstream kick now. XD
This is free for ANYONE to use btw and was heavily inspired by @birdsong-warriors‘s Stone/Willow stuff for what I hope is an obvious reason.
Graystripe and Silverstream meet the same way, but their bond is more a sibling dynamic than Graystripe being completely smitten. It’s nice having a friend that isn’t involved in all the ThunderClan drama and his new friend is smart and funny and isn’t uncovering any conspiracies. It’s a relief to just talk about normal things like how the prey is running (or swimming). At some point Silverstream mentions Millie and Graystripe is all “ :o I should meet your girlfriend!!!”
When Graystrip meets Millie he’s immediately smitten and feels AWFUL about it. That’s his best friend’s girlfriend! (He’s been growing apart from Fireheart. He still likes the former kittypet but he just clicks with Silverstream) He tries to avoid her for a little while out of guilt. He finally tells Silverstream that they need to talk about the gathering and he confesses that he’s in love with Millie.
Silverstream now has the awkward talk of explaining A) That sometimes cats have more than one mate and that can be ok B) That she also has a RiverClan Tom as a mate too (I’d pick Heavystep personally) and C) Millie thought he was really cute and was sad he didn’t visit again.
Feathertail and Stormfur are biologically Millie and Graystripe’s kits, but Millie names one after Silverstream’s father. Millie keeps the kits at first and Graystripe keeps visiting her but when it s time for the kits to be weaned she’s not so sure that the kittypet life is right for them. Millie makes the decision on her own to send the kits with Silverstream. She’s not sure ThunderClan is safe for her kits and she knows that Silverstream would love them as much as Graystripe would, and he could visit them.
Graystripe sulks. He doesn’t get why Millie couldn’t join ThunderClan. He’s started fighting with Fireheart and it starts to seem like all the cats that actually want him around (he’s still sulking about Millie not joining the clans) are in RiverClan. Besides, that’s where his kits are and he can’t fight his kits.
So he joins RiverClan.
It’s awful.
It’s known that Feather and Storm aren’t Silverstream’s bio kits but RiverClan doesn’t seem to care who they’re related to until Graystripe announces that their his kits. Some simple math is done and the rumor becomes that Graystripe had kits with some rogue and abandoned them. Silverstream and Graystripe try to assure the kits that’s not true, but neither are comfortable having the kittypet talk just yet. Graystripe makes a couple friends like Heavystep, Stonefur and Mistyfoot but ultimately as in canon he cannot fight his friends and is exiled from RiverClan.
Dejected Graystripe heads back to ThunderClan and is tenatively allowed back into the clan. He and Fireheart make up and Tigerclaw is ousted. He’s starting to do okay again. He’s too embarassed to apologize to Millie but he thinks that he might get there.
Then Tigerstar takes over ShadowClan and RiverClan. Silverstream is included in the half-clan “trial” that instead of using half clan as an excuse to other them tries to other Silverstream, Mistyfoot, Stonefur, Featherpaw and Stormpaw for being code breakers/the result of code breaking.
Silverstream and Stonefur loudly object, they’ve all been loyal warriors and have never broken the code with Silverstream citing that the code says to always help kits in need.
If you HAVE to still kill Silverstream off she can fight Blackfoot instead of Stonefur. Then Stonefur escapes with the apprentices and the ThunderCrew or sacrifices himself so they can escape more idk.
So anyway Silverstream lives. Before the big Lion/Tiger battle Graystripe tells Firestar that he needs to take his kits to visit someone. Firestar agrees but asks that Graystripe take another warrior with him since things are dangerous assuming that they’re visiting the kits’ mother and that Silverstream knows.
So Silverstream, Graystripe, Featherpaw and Stormpaw visit Millie. Millie is overjoyed to see her Clan family again since she hadn’t heard anything for a very long time and she was worried sick about everybody. After pleasant reunions are held Silverstream and Graystripe fill her in on everything that’s happened and Graystripe apologizes for being a butt. He still doesn’t quite get why Millie wouldn’t want to join clan life, but that’s none of his business and he needed to apologize before the battle in case something happens. Silverstream is a little more optimistic and promises to visit more after the battle.
Silverstream refuses to rejoin RiverClan. Her clanmates that she grew up with and had known since they were kits stood by and did nothing while Tigerstar ordered her death and she’s starting to think Leopardstar might have had something to do with her father’s death. She argues with Mistyfoot when she says she’s going to rejoin RiverClan and while both the apprentices leave with Mistyfoot many of Silverstream’s arguments are echoed in Featherpaw’s mind. Ultimately Featherpaw decides staying with her brother is more important than how she feels.
Silverstream is a good addition to ThunderClan. Her unique set of skills fill in a few gaps in ThunderClan’s own skill set. She’ll bring fish for the elders and to their surprise their aches are a little less achy. She shares knowledge of what to do when a cat breathes in too much water. She’s also just a delight.
When Graystripe gets catnapped by Twolegs Mille’s neighbors end up being the ones to foster him. By the time he finally makes his way outside the clans are gone, but there’s one familiar face still around that knows where they went and is willing to make the trip with him.
