Loststar AU
The original Loststar AU belongs to @jjadestar
Brightpaw gets named Lostface and she seems really depressed about it at first, but then she realizes just how intimidating it sounds. So when Firestar is about to change her name, she steps forward and says she doesn't want her name to change. Most cats are surprised by this, but a few cheer her on for owning the name instead of abandoning it.
At her first gathering as Lostface, she sits up proudly as Firestart says her name, ignoring the stares from other clans.
While eating her fresh-kill, Lostface overhears Firestar and Cinderpelt talking about how Snowkit may never become a warrior. Lostface doesn't stand for it. She watches over Snowkit and manages to save him from the hawk. After that, Snowkit follows her everywhere, and when the time comes, Lostface takes newly named Snowpaw as her apprentice. She teaches him different signals that meant different things, and also teaches them to the clan so Snowpaw can communicate with everyone else.
Snowpaw turns out to be a great warrior, his name being Snowfrost. Lostface is proud of her apprentice, and he still sticks with her for the most part.
When the twolegs come and start tearing down the forest, the clans still have to move. Graystripe goes missing and when they arrive at the lake territory, Lostface is named deputy instead of Brambleclaw.
She and Cloudtail had Whitewing before they left the original territories, and Whitewing and Birchfall have Ivykit and Dovekit.
Dovekit is intimidated by Lostface at first, but Ivykit always thinks her scars are cool. Lostface knows she shouldn't pick favorites, but she likes Ivykit a bit more than Dovekit.
Shortly after Jaypaw is apprenticed to Lostface, Firestar dies of greencough and Lostface becomes Loststar. She names Honeyfern her deputy.
Hollypaw becomes a medicine cat and stays a medicine cat, and Loststar keeps Jaypaw in warrior training despite his “parents", Leafpool, and Starclan saying he needs to become a med cat.
Jaypaw gets his warrior name, Jayleaf, and Hollypaw becomes Hollyfeather.
Jayleaf and Snowfrost are good friends go this day.
Loststar apprentices Cherrypaw to Ivypool, and after Honeyfern dies from the snake, names Ivypool her new deputy. Ivypool and Loststar both live through the Dark Battle, though Loststar loses a life.
Ivypool takes over as leader while Loststar is in the nursery with her second littler of kits.
Loststar loses her last life from defending Hollyfeather, her apprentice, Alderpaw, and Snowfrost from a fox, naming Ivypool Ivystar.
Side notes:
Hollyfeather doesn’t disappear into the tunnels, instead another cat does(maybe Icecloud or Hazeltail :3).
Hollyfeather and Jayleaf switch roles, with Hollyfeather being part of the three and Jayleaf as the one who isn’t, though Jayleaf doesn’t complain.
Ivystar makes Bumblestripe, who was mentor to Molewhisker, her deputy.
Dovewing and Tigerheart were still a couple, though Dovewing doesn’t go back to him, instead she stays with Bumblestripe.
