Beneath Dark Skies by SkyeGrimshaw

In the year 2895, the world stands on the brink of collapse, ravaged by apocalyptic events and infused with arcane science. Skyleen Winters, burdened by her families legacy enrolls at Arcane Science University, seeking for a path to forge her own destiny. As part of her initiation, Skyleen must undergo a choosing ceremony, a pivotal event where students are assigned to powerful guilds based on their abilities and potential. Tensions rise when Kay, the formidable heir to her family's rival, is assigned as her mentor. His presence is a constant reminder of the deep-seated animosity between their families, a reminder that Skyleen struggles to ignore. The ceremony, intended to define Skyleen's future, is overshadowed by Kay's unsettling demeanor and the dark aura of his guild. The Dark Science Guild, known for its mastery over arcane technologies and their intimidating attire, casts a long shadow over the proceedings. Their weaponry and mystical symbols hint at the immense power and danger they wield. As Skyleen navigates her new role under Kay's mentorship, she is caught between her duty to her family and her growing concern over Kay's motives. With each passing day, the lines between rivalry and cooperation blur, forcing Skyleen to confront her own fears and ambitions. The stakes rise as she uncovers hidden agendas and prepares for a confrontation that could alter the fragile balance of their apocalyptic world. In this clash of magic, technology, and family legacies, Skyleen's journey becomes a fight for survival and self-discovery, setting the stage for a dramatic confrontation that could redefine the fate of their shattered world.

Kittypet Clanborn - Tales Unleashed by warriorcatlover345

It all began with a certain brown tabby-and-white she-cat, Lilypetal, whose determination and spirit led her far from her Twoleg home, and to the forest where the wild cats of ThunderClan lied, and ended with that same she-cat's determination and spirit ridding of a certain gray-speckled spirit whose heart burned with rage for the loss of things he never deserved, and giving Lilypetal the position of ThunderClan's deputy. Many things happened in between, with new cats joining us along the way - Goldenshine, who would stop at nothing to be the hero she'd always dreamed of; her sister, Snowflight, whose destiny was to do nothing but protect and heal those she cared about, whether or not she was dead or alive; and then Swiftflight, who unfortunately had been brought to his worst self, even as a young apprentice, and didn't become his best until he was a grown warrior. But unfortunately, not every piece of their journey could be shared, and there are even stories of other cats seen along the way that need telling... some more tales amidst, before, and a bit after the story we all know, that will be unleashed.

She wears pull-ups to sleep, but after another daytime accident and really bad manners from the girl, mom decides to bring it up a notch: she will be treated as a baby, and by extension, as the little sister.
