okay i wanted to share my version of a “tiny / scourge joins thunderclan” au
to make matters short (or as short as i can make it lmao), bluefur actually jumps in to save tiny from tigerpaw and thistleclaw and takes him back to camp. (this always bothered me in the og series. why would she not save this kitten? even if it was because he was a kittypet, that’s still an opportunity to get thistle in trouble anyways!)
so yeah tiny is taken to thunderclan where featherwhisker and spottedpaw get him back into shape.
this in turn makes thistleclaw seems way less desireable to become deputy, which then in turn prevents bluefur from leaving with her kits, Argo mistykit, stonekit, and mosskit stay in thunderclan. bluefur still becomes deputy, and then leader.
tiny is made an apprentice by sunstar, who names him tinypaw. he trains along redpaw and his littermates, whitepaw, and tigerpaw, who really does not like this dumb kittypet in his clan. he becomes a warrior named “tinyheart” (i also like tinyfoot, as it’s a bit less on the nose)
later along the line, he becomes one of firepaw’s mentors and they basically become good friends (cheery firepaw melts the ice in tinyheart’s - well- heart!)
the battle w/ bloodclan becomes the battle between lionclan and tigerclan. im debating on how Tigerstar would die in this au, so let’s just say he gets jumped by everyone he personally hurt (by killing their family members and whatnot)!
tinyheart would live until avos, where he lives to see his nephew and niece become apprentices (alderpaw and sparkpaw) before he passes peacefully.
in starclan, he meets his friends and family; Redtail, Firestar, Bluestar, etc. etc
there’s a lot of other things in this au i reeally want to flesh out here, but that ruins the fun! i’ll make more posts explaining this, since it’s it’s a really fun idea to play with.
