Being the first-born son of Silco, there was no blessings. No immediate medal or award or praise. Nickel is the eldest son of The Industrialist, the 'Eye of Zaun'. People know who he is━of course they do. He's feared instead of liked. Even as a child. Having grown up with his younger sister-Powder-and his half sister Violet, Nickel has a stable support net. Or at least that's what he thinks. Lies spin out of control. Secrets are soon coming out the woodwork. The very man who'd found Nickel and his sisters on that burning bridge is the same man who had made a deal with the enforcers, a deal so inhumane that sends Nickel spiralling, panicking about who he can trust. An Arcane AU in which Felicia survives the bridge riot and becomes dependent on Shimmer at the hands of Singed, Jinx and Nickel are biologically Silco's and Vi is biologically Vander's.

Hornetfoot is the eldest son of MapleClan's leader, pressured to be something that he isn't just to uphold outdated traditions. The Clan have never been cruel towards him, but they've never been fully supportive of him either. But things are thrown out or proportion when StarClan sends out a prophecy━despite MapleClan's cats' inner hope for any more━that pulls Hornetfoot and his friends right into it.
