yellowfang’s secret is rightfully hated by many for the way it treats her but we have another common enemy we need to band against

Darklily' Purpose: Willowpelt and Darkkit's New Relationship: Long(ish) Post

One of the issues I had with the first 5 chapters is the fact that 14 y/o me made Willowpelt too weirdly terrible. Like the point where a) it didn't make sense and b) felt misogynistic. So, what can I do about that? Firstly, I rearranged the timeline a bit. Runningwind and Mousefur are new warriors (like 15 moons old), Bluefur's kits had been "killed" only a moon ago, and the WillowRedSpotted bunch are a little over 1 and a half years old. Why? Because if canon gets to fuck up the timeline I get to messily reconstruct it to suit my AU needs.

I'm spending more time on the Tawnyspots surrogacy arc. Tawnyspots wanted to have kits but is aromantic and didn't want a relationship. When he went around asking cats who met his critera (not related to him and not in a relationship), Willowpelt agreed.

Willowpelt struggled with self hatred a lot then. She felt like a shadow in her own life and that no one really liked her. She partly agreed because she wanted to help Tawnyspots, but also because she felt like in helping the deputy fulfill his wish, she wouldn't feel hated by the Clan anymore.

However, Tawnyspots died before Darkkit was born. And his death made her realize that she wasn't ready for this, she had no idea what to do, and she would have to spend her time in the nursery raising the kits. She was the only pregnant cat, and the only queen since Bluefur, and no one else in the Clan was planning on having any kits for a while. She felt trapped.

So, when Darkkit was born, she gave him to Swiftbreeze and hid. She stayed away from camp unless it was absolutely necessary for her to come back (like to fed Darkkit and such). She couldn't really recognize Darkkit as much else than a mistake she had made for someone, too far gone to have benefitted from her. She was angry with Tawnyspots for asking her, and she was angry with herself for making the choice. Darkkit wasn't supposed to be there.

So she stayed away. She wasn't cruel to him, but she didn’t engage with him. She would let him suckle and then she would leave again. Swiftbreeze and Redtail did the bulk of the parenting. His father's family would play with him and keep him entertained, and Willowpelt's family would do the same. Darkkit was raised by the village.

However, Redtail after having an unexpected pregnancy, and giving birth prematurely to stillborn kits, and Swiftbreeze died of a heart attack the next morning. The deaths, guilt, and stress overflowed, and Willowpelt snapped. Darkkit was the easiest to blame. He must have been stressing everyone out. He had, after all, put everyone’s life on hold.

She renounced him that morning, and vowed to Spottedleaf and Redtail that from this morning on, they'd need to find some way else to feed him; she wouldn't do it anymore.

They did find another way, of course. A nursing queen in WindClan with kits Darkkit’s age. He would be safe there, safer than any cat in ThunderClan could make him.

And that, folks, is the new relationship.
