Hawk was fine with her life as a fearsome rogue. She never wanted to save a life. She never expected to wake up in FalconClan. Even then, she could never have dreamed what happened next. ----- "Is she the one?" Muted voices made Hawk's ears twitch in confusion. Who were they? She let out a low-throated growl of warning, tensing her muscles. "Who are you!?" She bristled, and blinked open her eyes. A dark grey tom stared back at Hawk serenely. "Greetings, Hawk." He purred. "Welcome to your new home." Hawk gasped as she stared more intently at the cat. He had a dark grey pelt, glistening blue eyes, and... wings?!

Smokestar knew that, as a leader, he could safely sacrifice himself for his Clan without dying, but when a fearsome group of rogues threatened BerryClan, he never accounted for them taking his body as a celebration of their victory. Now, Smokestar finds himself trapped in a strange group calling themselves the Wolf-Cats, with a cruel leader, an unfair code and an uncanny habit of howling like hungry wolves in battle. But despite their strange ways, Smokestar somehow feels more at home than he ever did in BerryClan. He's even found love, a question that was never a real possibility before. But StarClan won't forgive him for his treachery, and his divided loyalties may be the cause of all-out war... 𝐼'𝓋𝑒 𝓃𝑒𝓋𝑒𝓇 𝒻𝒾𝓃𝒾𝓈𝒽𝑒𝒹 𝒶 𝒷𝑜𝑜𝓀 𝒷𝑒𝒻𝑜𝓇𝑒 𝒮𝓂𝑜𝓀𝑒𝓈𝓉𝒶𝓇'𝓈 𝒞𝓁𝒶𝓃.

Cruel, unforgiving and unchangeable, her rule betrays the peaceful, honourable ways of the Wolf-Cats and their Code. Lightning, haunted by the ghosts of the cats she killed, knows she must fulfil her duty to do what she knows is right: lead the stand against Rockfall and stop any further destruction under her rule. It never used to be this way. Once, Lightning and Rockfall were close friends, like each others' sister. Even now, driven apart by her power, she simply can't accept that Rockfall is gone for good. Lightning simply doesn't have the strength to face her oldest friend...

Brackenfur's journey is one marked by loss, abandonment, and the quiet struggle to find his place in ThunderClan. Stolen from his mother as a kit, he was raised in ShadowClan before being returned to his true home-a home that often felt distant and cold. Under the shadow of his mentor Graystripe's neglect and the betrayal of Tigerclaw, Brackenfur has always felt like he was falling short of the Clan's expectations. Yet, his path is not one of defeat. From the battle with BloodClan to the devastating loss of his sister Cinderpelt, Brackenfur is tested time and time again. In the face of death and uncertainty, he must learn to reconcile his painful past and find his true worth. With the love of Sorreltail by his side and his kits now becoming apprentices, Brackenfur begins to see that the legacy he has built, and the family he has fought for, will never truly be lost.
