Shattered Peace

Summary:

After successfully overthrowing Onewhisker and claiming his place as leader of WindClan, Mudclaw made good on his promise to help Hawkfrost lead RiverClan. Now, the two cats stand as leaders of their own Clans, united by one goal - to take over ThunderClan and ShadowClan and hold total control over the lake. ThunderClan and ShadowClan are forced to put their differences aside and work together to survive - but can they withstand the might of Hawkstar and Mudstar?

Meanwhile, the kits of runaway medicine cats Mothwing and Leafpool grow far from the Clans, and far from the war. Raised on the tales of glorious battles and noble codes, the kits grow restless, and when StarClan calls for them, revealing they hold powers greater than those of their ancestors, they embark on a quest to find their Clans and become the most revered warriors of all.

Notes:

hi I've never heard on focusing on one work at a time, so I ended up making an ao3 for my mudstar and hawkstar au! I'm pretty excited to write this, it's been a vague idea I've had for a while until I really sat down and plotted it out with the help of my discord pals I made for this au. you can find me on tumblr at warriors-fireandwater, where I post about my other stories and will gladly answer questions about this one on!

Chapter 1: Major Changes and Allegiances

Chapter Text

Major Changes:

I'm using a naming system for this story, so some names or appearances may be altered slightly. The naming system exists to give some meaning to suffixes cats earn when they become warriors or full medicine cats, and it is inspired by the traditional naming system invented by ailuronymy on tumblr, but I've adapted it to be a bit more flexible and better suit this story. If you have any questions about names, please feel free to ask in a comment or on my tumblr! Jaykit's name is Thrushkit and Hollykit's name is Maplekit, to better represent their appearances here and the circumstances of their birth.

Crowfeather and Leafpool never properly met here, instead, Leafpool's love interest was Mothwing, who is trans and the second mother of the Three. Crowfeather still has Breezepaw with Nightcloud.

ThunderClan's allegiances have been cut down. Most deaths will be addressed in the first chapter. Rainwhisker is not dead. Daisy still joined ThunderClan with her kits, and after some time, she became another mate to Brightheart and Cloudtail.

Additionally, the ThunderClan family tree has been majorly altered. There will be a ThunderClan family tree included after the allegiances, and again, if you have any questions about it, feel free to ask! The only family who is not included is Graystripe's family, as he nor no one who he is related to is currently in ThunderClan, aside from Addertail (Longtail), and any cats who died without having a mate/kits is cut out to reduce the size and messiness of the tree. I put in Foxkit and Icekit's warrior names before I realized I couldn't make any more changes to the family tree, so just know that their names may be subject to change from canon.

There will be a lot of LGBT cats in this story, trans cats included. Surrogates, though not really discussed in casual conversation, are considered a normal part of Clan life.
