jayfeather x briarlight fanfic :3

chapter one: jayfeather

I had to draw the cover on my chromebook mouse, please forgive the terrible handwriting ;w;

Okay here's my imaginary timeline: Jayfeather, Leafpool, and Alderpaw. Alderpaw is an apprentice, but it's leaf-bare, and Darktail's grip on the Clans is over. how. Welph whatever doesn't matter, uh Purdy's still alive, Needletail is still fricking alive don't ask me how, and has returned to ShadowClan. SkyClan's borders are figured out and DONE WITH >:(

Also, Hollyleaf is Hollystar now, she, Jayfeather, and Lionblaze have forgiven Squirrelflight and Leafpool for what they did. Squirrelflight is now deputy.

Jayfeather padded into his den holding some new catmint he got from twolegplace. Briarlight was nowhere to be seen. She must have left to go... talk to someone or something, he thought. I don't actually care that much. 

He placed the catmint in their herb stores. It was incredible that he found any this leaf-bare, let alone like 15 leaves. That could cure the Clan's greencough easy!

Once it became sundown, Jayfeather really started to wonder where Briarlight was. Alderpaw and Leafpool didn't seem bothered by her absence, but Jayfeather had to admit that he was getting kind of concerned, so he walked over to Alderpaw, who was peacefully sorting some herbs. 

"Alderpaw, where's Briarlight? I haven't seen her at all," he asked. Alderpaw laughed. 

"Me and Leafpool were waiting for you to ask that! She's spending a day in the elder's den, since it's still absolutely bathed in stress from Darktail's rein!" He replied. 

Jayfeather just snarled at his apprentice. "WHY DIDN'T SHE TELL ME FIRST? DUMB BIT-" 

"OKAY ALRIGHT ALRIGHT," Alderpaw shushed him. "We don't have to go around calling other cats... bits. I know that you're frustrated, but-" 

"Let me call her a fu...ricking female dog for StarClan's sake I know Yellowfang curses,  I'VE HEARD IT BEFORE!" Jayfeather roared. 

Alderpaw was silent for once, and Jayfeather stormed towards the elder's den when Briarlight squeezed out. 

"Jayfeather, please calm down, everything's fine," she mewed. Jayfeather felt that she seemed moony-eyed, and she felt warmer than normal. 

"Are you okay? Do you have a fever? You feel hot." Jayfeather grabbed Briarlight's paw and pelt her paw pad. "You're heating up! I need feverfew!" 

"Stop, stop, stop, Jayfeather I'm fine. It's just a certain cat I like talking to-okay fine it's a crush. But don't-"

Jayfeather heaved a sigh, relieved and annoyed. "Okay, but frankly I don't care at all, so my mouth is sealed," he hissed. He hoped that Briarlight could see that he was keeping a little promise. He liked it when he and Briarlight had those little things, that only they knew about each other. It was nice. 

Briarlight dragged herself back to the medicine den, and for a moment Jayfeather wondered how hard it would be to walk like that. How does Briarlight feel?

He slowly kind of laid down, and then curved, unsure what to do. But finally, he was holding himself up just with his forelegs. He snickered. So this is how Briarlight feels every single day. Jayfeather heaved himself over to the medicine den. 

Briarlight was asleep, so he poked her with a single claw. "Briarlight! Look!" He couldn't stop himself from smiling. "We can be foreleg buddies!" 

Briarlight finally awoke, and then laughed so hard, Jayfeather didn't know whether to help her or not. "JAYFEATHER! THAT WAS LIKE, THE LAST THING I THOUGHT YOU WOULD DO!" She barked, elbowing him, landing with an "Oomph!" 

Jayfeather felt something spark inside his stomach, but he let it wither away. Come back another time. You feel great, but I'm trying to experience Briarlight right now, so back off! He laughed with her until the sun went down a minute later. 

"I'm going to bed," Briarlight gasped, taking in breaths slowly after their bouts of their laughter. Jayfeather was extremely dissapointed by this news, and he couldn't stop himself from voicing his disappointment.

"But... but we-we-we were having fun! Briarlight!" He mewed desperately.

"We can have fun tomorrow," Briarlight whispered softly. "But I want to sort things out in my head right now. Things with my crush have... escalated a little bit," she continued, dragging herself do her nest.

Escalated? Now? Is her crush... me? No, StarClan please! I don't want to break her heart! I used to not care, but if it's me I'm going to have to! I don't love her back! I don't want her to feel sad. Jayfeather panicked on that thought. 

It can't be me, come on! I don't want to hurt her! He just sighed and padded over to their stores. Alderpaw did a pretty good job. He's getting more and more like a real medicine cat every day. I should think about taking him to the moonpool to get his full name. He sniffed the bers just to check, and they were perfectly sorted. 

"I'll take him next half-moon," Jayfeather muttered to himself. He deserves it.

warning: Jayfeather says multiple curse words in this pov and onward , some that you could possibly find offensive. he says no slurs, though. i would never put those in my writing .

Briarlight tossed and turned all night. Before she knew it, the sun was up, and all the medicine cats were working together. Of course they are. They always leave me out of their  work. She sighed and looked around the den. 

She spotted Jayfeather and her heart lit up. "Hi, Jayfeather! Can I go gather herbs for you?"

"You think you can gather herbs in the middle of motherfucking LEAF-BARE?" Jayfeather bellowed, wacking Briarlight with his tail.

"There's some yarrow just outside camp, I saw it yesterday!" Briarlight argued. Jayfeather just hissed at her.

"When will you get the damn point? There's nothing out there for you, go back to sleep!" He snarled. Briarlight dipped her head sadly. 

"O-okay." Jayfeather was always grumpy in the morning, and it wasn't just Briarlight who he would be mean to every morning. It was Alderpaw a lot. Like, a lot . 

"Oh, yeah, just o-okay me you fucking bitch . Get the fuck away from me," Jayfeather spat.

Brairlight was angry now. Yeah, it's you who's the "fucking bitch"! She wasn't paying attention when she actually SAID IT.

"You're the fucking bitch, bitch!" Briarlight hissed, storming out of the den, out of the camp, and to the lake. 

Liking him the was wrong idea.

I got Briarlight to curse at me man, I really fucked up this time. What the fuck, Jayfeather?  He bounded after her, but she was fast, Jayfeather was very winded by the time he even started running 

Jayfeather, Jayfeather Jayfeather, you fucking fucked up, you bitch! I fucking hate myself! What's the fuck wrong with me? Even my fucking thoughts are messing up! That's not even right! Oh, oh, oh, fucking thoughts. He raced through the forest, finally finding Briarlight staring into the lake wistfully. 

"Briarlight, I-" suddenly, he tripped on a root and fell into the lake.

Water engulfed him, and he was sure that Briarlight couldn't get him out. it was ove.
