After Yellowfang has her kits, she's banished from ShadowClan, but her kits remain and are taken care of by Lizardstripe and Raggedstar. The kits are still named Brokenkit, Hopekit, and Wishkit. As they were never described, Hopekit is a brownish-gray she-cat with blue-green eyes and Wishkit is a dark gray she-cat with amber eyes like her mother, but only Brokenkit has Yellowfang's flattened muzzle. Runningpaw becomes Sagewhisker's apprentice instead of Yellowfang's and completes his training just as she dies, still becoming Runningnose.
Hopekit and Wishkit become Hopeshadow and Wishlight, and the point of view could follow Hopeshadow and could show that she and Brokentail have a good relationship, with her being the only tie to humanity he has. Wishlight dies as an apprentice, saving her brother from a falling tree branch, still earning her warrior name. This could have sparked something in Brokentail that if Wishlight had been trained earlier, she could have been a warrior sooner and wouldn't have died on her assessment. Despite Hopeshadow trying to understand her brother, he grows distant and won't talk to her.
From here it would go to ThunderClan's point of view, namely Spottedpaw's, a little in the past. She, Redpaw, and Willowpaw pass their warrior assessments and become Spottedleaf, Redtail, and Willowpelt. A young Redtail finds Yellowfang in their territory and Sunstar protects her, listening to her story and letting her stay with Featherwhisker in the medicine den. Spottedleaf notices something odd in that she's almost always tired, off-balance, and unfocused, being fairly traumatized after the whole Thistleclaw thing. To her horror, she learns that she's expecting kits; Thistleclaw's kits. She is scared, but wants to keep them and raise them to not be like their father. Not only that, but she knows Bluefur needs to be deputy and can care for her kits while Bluefur tends to her duties. That way Thistleclaw cannot ever become leader.
Bluefur has her kits, and two moons later, Spottedleaf has three kits she names Sandkit, Dustkit, and Ravenkit. Bluefur becomes deputy, her kits live and become ThunderClan apprentices, as do Sandkit, Dustkit, and Ravenkit. Ravenpaw still goes to Tigerclaw, Dustpaw to Redtail, and Sandpaw to her older half-brother Whitestorm. Mistypaw goes to Mousefur, Stonepaw to Runningwind, and Mosspaw to Willowpelt. A few moons after Bluefur becomes deputy, Sunstar dies and Bluestar takes her place, naming Redtail as her deputy. Yellowfang learns that Wishlight died, but still earned her warrior name and Featherwhisker dies, leaving Yellowfang as the sole medicine cat. Graypaw becomes an apprentice, going to Lionheart. Thistleclaw dies, with his kits not exactly being very sad. By now, Brokenstar has become leader with Blackfoot as his deputy.
Redtail dies, still being killed by Tigerclaw though only Ravenpaw knows, and Sandpaw and Dustpaw don't care about the kittypet joining their Clan as their beloved uncle (and mentor in Dustpaw's case) just died. Spottedleaf and Wilowpelt seek comfort in each other, and Dustpaw and Sandpaw become very close. Ravenpaw, having just witnessed his uncle's murder, is unresponsive, no matter how much his mother tries to talk to him. Spotted x Fire never happens, and maybe Sandpaw sort of blames Firepaw for Redtail's death as Whitestorm and Lionheart, two of ThunderClan's best warriors, were getting him instead of helping.
Bluestar's kits have become warriors, never knowing their biological father, believing Thrushpelt to be their father. They become Mistyfoot, Stonefur (after Snowfur) and Mossthrush, in one last 'thank you' to Thrushpelt. Everything happens as normal, though Firepaw never finds Yellowfang as she's already in ThunderClan. Spottedleaf overhears that Ravenpaw saw Tigerclaw kill Redtail so he could get the deputy position, but doesn't want to believe it as Tigerclaw is like an older brother to her, but does start to notice something off about him when Lionheart dies and he does become deputy. Spottedleaf tries to talk to Bluestar about it, but Bluestar doesn't seem to want to listen. Spottedleaf learns that Ravenpaw 'died' and is pretty inconsolable, except for her 'remaining' kits comforting her.
The climax of Into the Wild is the same, but Spottedleaf doesn't die and the 'help' that Yellowfang talks about is her daughter, Hopeshadow. Raggedstar never told his kits that Yellowfang was their mother, so they just know her as ThunderClan's medicine cat. However, Yellowfang noticed that Hopeshadow doesn't really agree with what her brother is doing, even if he says it's so cats like Wishlight don't die again, even though he's killing younger cats in the process. Yellowfang gathers Hopeshadow and the banished elders together and they kick out Brokenstar, learning he's the one who killed Raggedstar 'because he was weak'; Hopeshadow and Yellowfang are horrified. Nightstar still steps up to be leader, naming Hopeshadow as his deputy (Nightstar still only has one life).
Fireheart and Graystripe are named warriors, leaving Sandpaw and Dustpaw jealous. Mistyfoot starts to fall in love with a RiverClan tom, and Bluestar accidentally lets it slip that she shouldn't. Her kits ask why, and it's revealed that Bluestar had kits with Oakheart and not Thrushpelt. Mistyfoot and Stonefur are furious and flee across the river to RiverClan; Mistyfoot goes to be with her love, and Stonefur goes so his sister won't be alone (and also because he's just really angry.) Mossthrush, however, understands and stays with her mother. This can also provide a great connection between Mistyfoot and Silverstream as Silverstream could have been the cat who found them and convinced her father that they should stay as they are kin after all. Crookedstar says they can stay, finding comfort in his brother's death as he recognizes Oakheart in them. Bluestar feeling like she has no one could also be fueled by the feeling of terrible regret for not telling her kits the truth and feeling like she 'lost' them after all.
Everything happens the same: WindClan's return, Cloudkit's arrival, Cinderpaw's accident and later becoming a medicine cat apprentice, Silverstream's death and Graystripe going to live with his kits in RiverClan, Tigerclaw's betrayal, and Brokenstar's death. Sandstorm and Dustpelt earn their names and Spottedleaf becomes deputy instead of Fireheart because Bluestar trusts her more after all that Spottedleaf has done for her, than some tom she met less than a year ago. Tigerstar still becomes leader of ShadowClan as Hopeshadow is too sick to lead after Nightstar dies. Yellowfang doesn't want Cinderpelt to help Littlecloud and Whitethroat, but finally relents when she realizes that Cinderpelt can really heal them and that means her daughter can get better. Yellowfang goes to ShadowClan, bringing the antidote to the sickness and finding Tigerstar as the leader. He doesn't do anything to stop her as she goes to her daughter and tells her everything. Hopeshadow is surprised at first, but now understands why Lizardstripe was so cold to her and her siblings. She accepts that Yellowfang is her mother and is even proud of it; they may be apart, but they are now the family that both Hopeshadow and Yellowfang have always wanted. When Yellowfang dies, leaving Cinderpelt as the only medicine cat, Hopeshadow comes to bury her with Fireheart, truly sad that she's the only one left, and that she never got to know or even say goodbye to her mother.
There are some trust issues between Darkstripe and Longtail and Spottedleaf, but she never considers Dustpelt to be a traitor as he is her son after all. However, she does get angry when she learns that Darkstripe tried to poison her niece, and banishes him on the spot, apologizing to Longtail for not believing him; Longtail is allowed to prove himself and becomes one of Spottedleaf's most trusted warriors. It is revealed that Ravenpaw is still alive, and Spottedleaf, Sandstorm, and Dustpelt are relieved and give Ravenpaw and tearful and happy embrace when he comes to visit. Tawnypaw still can't take the staring and flees to ShadowClan to be with her father, believing that he would accept her more than her so-called home (Spottedleaf has Bramblepaw as an apprentice.).
Spottedleaf can see that Sandstorm is getting closer to Fireheart, and Dustpelt seems to be warming up to Fernpaw. Spottedleaf is cautious about Dustpelt and warns him that Fernpaw has to choose whether she is old enough to be in a relationship. Dustpelt understands, knowing about how Thistleclaw treated his mother, and learns from Thistleclaw's and Spottedleaf's mistakes, only spending time with Fernpaw when there are other cats present, and never taking things too far. Spottedleaf tries to make Bluestar listen to her about Swiftpaw and Brightpaw also deserving to be warriors after Cloudtail was made one before them, but she won't. Swiftpaw and Brightpaw go to fight the mystery danger, with Swiftpaw dying and Brightpaw surviving but with the horrible disfiguring.
Again, everything is the same, with Spottedleaf appalled Bluestar would name such a sweet and traumatized cat 'Lostface'. Spottedleaf and Whitestorm work together and they make the plan of eradicating the dogs. She still says that she will be at the end of the running trail, and when Ashpaw and Fernpaw say they want to join, she understands wanting to get revenge for Brindleface's death, letting them join even if Dustpelt doesn't want Fernpaw to go. Tigerclaw comes at the end just the same, driven by his need for revenge, so he doesn't realize that it's Spottedleaf he's pinning down, as she looks so much like Redtail he thinks it's just the tom's spirit taunting him. He doesn't realize who he's pinning down until it's too late, and he turns shocked and horrified, showing that he does still care for cats like his children and ex-mate and Spottedleaf, who was like a younger sister to him. Bluestar drives the last dog off the edge, going over herself; Spottedleaf jumps after her. Mistyfoot and Stonefur come and save the both of them, showing that they have actually forgiven Bluestar for lying to them. Mossthrush, who had run after her mother when she realized she was gone, is also there so all three can say goodbye to their mother.
Spottedleaf is now the leader of ThunderClan, and she names Whitestorm her deputy. All of the lives that Spottedleaf receives are the same as Fireheart's in the original series, but Snowfur is the one who gives the life of love; Spottedleaf is now Spottedstar and the prophecy still comes at the end like in the original series. The same things happen: Leopardstar names Stonefur her deputy, TigerClan is created, Stonefur dies protecting Featherpaw and Stormpaw, and Mistyfoot, Featherpaw, and Stormpaw come to live in ThunderClan for a while. Hopeshadow doesn't like what Tigerstar is doing, so she goes to ThunderClan to escape him. Scourge makes an entrance and kills Tigerstar and LionClan becomes a thing. Scourge takes one of Spottedstar's lives, but she comes back and kills him. Whitestorm still dies, and Spottedstar names Longtail as her deputy because he deserves to be redeemed. Hopeshadow, Mistyfoot, Featherpaw, and Stormpaw go back to their respective Clans, and Hopeshadow becomes the leader of ShadowClan, but does name Blackfoot as her deputy as he also deserves to be redeemed (and also because I love Blackstar too much… he should have had some time to think over what he had done, though… and not just become leader immediately after learning NOTHING!)
In this AU essentially, Fireheart never becomes leader, and a lot of the things he does, Spottedstar does. The first series would follow two points of view: Spottedpaw to Spottedstar, and Hopepaw to Hopestar. I may work on the continuation of this, the second series following Mossthrush and maybe even giving her a mate and kits that would fill in the prophecy instead of having everything filled in by Firestar or his descendants, because it makes the series interesting and not stupidly predictable. Also, in this AU, SkyClan was never created. Yes, I love some characters in there, but they are pretty much useless in the long run, so why were they created? Simple, to make more money with a book on everyone's favourite savior: Firestar. So, he practically plays no part in here except for the Three, who I might change later! Never know! I'll see what I can think of and if it's worth putting in! Maybe the second series should follow WindClan and RiverClan after the first was around ShadowClan and ThunderClan. Okay, I'll be quiet and let you guys tell me what you thought and if you have ideas you want me to take my turn on!
