This is a one shot au thing that I thought of, basically when Firestar dies in The Last Hope, he gets brought back to the day he joined the clans and has to go through his life again and again until he defeats Tigerstar and survives.
I might turn this into a proper multi chapter story and start from the first cycle if people like it enough and if I feel like it, so let me know with a review if I should! Now, on to the story!

Firestar has gone through this cycle hundreds, maybe thousands of times, and it has seen small changes throughout different attempts, like some of them it dies in the battle with Brokenstar, others Tigerstar is already leader of Thunderclan before it gets there, others Redtail doesn't die at Sunningrocks but instead Lionheart was there and dies. Sometimes it isn't a he, sometimes Sandstorm never warms up to it, sometimes Bluestar adopts it as her son, or daughter, or whatever it is at this point. Firestar has had its heart broken too many times.
Firestar has seen more than many could ever claim to see.
Sometimes it wishes it could never see.
Sometimes it feels like giving up and stopping its journey forever.
Sometimes it hopes it doesn't come back.
It hopes that this all could just stop.
Bluestar, Redtail, Lionheart, Dustpelt, Spottedleaf, Yellowfang, Silverstream, Sandstorm, Graystripe, Ravenpaw, Dustpelt, Brambleclaw, and many, many more. It has seen them die too many times, ones that it was sure never died the first time.
The first time… it feels so far away now, so detached, so lost. Lost in a sea of the same familiar faces but ever changing and ever different. Nothing is now, Time has no meaning.
It cares so much but it doesn't. It cares about everything but nothing. It fights forever but has already stopped. It doesn't want to give up, yet it already has.
Or has it?
Has he? Or she? Or they?
Whatever it is now. It knows it has a mission. A goal. To save its friends, its family, the ones it loves, and it will keep powering through until that mission is complete. No matter what life throws at it.
It will always fight.
I will always fight.
Me.
I.
Firepaw, Fireheart, Firestar.
Fire.
Me.
I am as alive as a roaring fire.
You will never extinguish me.

Firestar may seem a fair bit out of character in this, but i think that fits pretty well with the theme of this, cause he has been through so many new stressful things and lived life hundreds or thousands of times, powerless to change anything in the end. That'd break anyone. But good news, our special Fireboi doesn't break easily. Anyways yeah I hope you enjoyed reading this and please let me know of any mistakes I may have missed, and if I should make this a proper multi chapter story, I think it would be pretty cool honestly!
