I kind of want to do a Steven Universe-inspired Warriors AU where Squirrelflight leads a rebellion against the clans while hiding her identity. Going to call her group The Clowder for rn.
I feel like her interaction with The Sisters would have taught her that cats outside the clans are just as valuable as those within clans, so she begins to strongly feel that clan life is causing strife and harming cats outside of the code, especially as "Bramblestar" and her clan begin to punish code breakers.
For the major plot points I'm considering:
-She ends up killing Bramblestar, but instead of fixing things, it makes the clans more distrustful of outsiders
-Thunderclan dissolves? Like, too many cats ran away to join The Clowder and when Bramblestar died and Squirrelflight disappeared, those left got absorbed into the other clans
-Either there's a huge battle which Squirrelflight and a lot of The Clowder dies in, causing those remaining to go into hiding OR Squirrelflight realizes she made things worse and decides to go into hiding with The Clowder while things calm down some in the clans, then she later dies in childbirth after falling in love with some loner
-either way, after Squirrelflight's death, she's reborn (like the whole Cinderpelt thing) and The Clowder looks to this kit as their potential savior, but are super protective
-eventually, the kit grows up and brings Thunderclan back and slowly but surely changes the organization of the clans to be more equal and welcoming to outsiders
