I’m very curious about this, but what if Clovegleam was able to save Graykit? Would have Graykit became deputy instead of Coneriver? Now I can see a Survived AU where Graykit survived the shrew attack or an animal attack the shrews but left Graykit alive (like if the ghost of Graykit’s mother reincarnated as a wolf and walks around Murkclan’s territory) and became a medicine cat. Also, I guess with Buttercupshiver being a therapist for Murkclan, I guess that is a AU now, I can see that AU being called Buttercup Therapy AU. Also, how would Rootstar feel about Buttercupshiver? I am now curious, how Graykit would react to Buttercupshiver if Graykit lived? My thoughts are going crazy again 🥲. I miss Graykit, he should have had a littermate that looked like him or he should have survived the shrew attack! Curse you Clangen we say in unison!
Graykit Survives AU
I think about this one a lot. Because as much as I can make stuff up, I'll never truly know what could've been 😔
Graykit had the quiet trait and the "quick to make peace" skill, which would've evolved into a proficiency to mediate. So, he could've possibly become a mediator apprentice and had Sagegrass as his mentor!
However, I think it's pretty clear that he really wanted to be a warrior. I like the idea of Clovegleam noticing that his kit is missing and rushing out of camp to find him, and saving him from the shrews. I think after spending some time healing in the healer's den (and after many many safety talks from the adults), he would've been apprenticed under his father.
I can imagine Clovegleam developing a sort of helicopter parenting relationship with Graypaw. Graypaw would probably be really frustrated by this and so would spend his time venting to Conepaw. The two would definitely be best friends. I think Graypaw would also really get along with Woolpaw, since both are a bit stubborn.
Graywish would definitely want to become deputy. (I mean, he wanted to have his apprentice ceremony at 3 moons old! He's clearly a little ambitious). So I do think there would be some tension with him and Coneriver when Coneriver still becomes deputy. Rootstar wouldn't have chosen Graywish because of him sneaking out and almost getting himself killed, and Graywish thinks that's stupid. (Clovegleam also has a part to play in this, begging Rootstar not to make his son deputy so he doesn't get himself hurt) (Because he'd have a harder time watching over him if he were deputy) He'd be kind of bitter towards Coneriver, but after talking it out with him, they'd be alright.
That's about all I have for now, so I also want to show Graykit's sprites because they're adorable :)))
I miss Graykit too :((( I really wish I could've seen what he would've grown to become.
Curse you, clangen 😔
Buttercup Therapy AU
Rootstar would really appreciate Buttercupshiver, especially with all the death currently happening! It's nice to have someone who's willing to let others lean on them. :)
If Graykit lived, he probably also would've looked up to Buttercupshiver! Shadowspore would basically be his sister (and so would Teaseldrizzle) so to have someone who's willing to offer so much help... He finds that admirable.
His mediator trait means that he knows just how draining mediating and listening to others can be, so he's really impressed by just how much of a help Buttercupshiver is being.
Since we are quickly approaching 300 followers on this blog, I thought I would sketch some of the fallen members of MurkClan, who helped us get here in the first place :)
Even though the story will continue without them, they will not be forgotten <3
