"Born from the cleansing flames that burns our father's sins, forms the Ashes of retribution."

-Running`nose of Shadowclan

Meet the two protagonists of the #Flashfireau that I am finalizing! I always felt like Smudge was an unused asset that had so many opportunities to be more to the plot should he be utilized well!

This au focuses more on realistic approaches that the main series doesn't really follow. After all Smudge and Rusty were kithood friends before he left him to join Thunderclan, so why not have this au focus on their friendship. Here's surface level notes for you guys bc I'm not gonna spoil everything 🙄

Some things that change in the main tale;

• Rusty joins Shadowclan, but doesn't become evil. Because a whole clan being born evil is just dumb, in the super editions of characters during Brokenstar's time shows regret and self-loathing.

• Rusty is considered "missing," by Smudge's standards, so he searches for his friend, only to be entangled with Thunderclan.

•Both get new names that differ from canon, it just makes sense ok?

°°°°

Adult height chart, Rusty being smaller than Smudge is just Funny to me when he was bigger during their youth.

Tigerstar in the #FlashfireAu is more competent and ruthless compared to the canon lore, why? Because honestly, why didn't you clap your only witness when he was frozen in fear?

Basically, after killing Redtail, and leaving his corpse immediately, he chases Ravenpaw down and manages to catch him. (Again: Ravenpaw is full of fear and tripping over things while Tigerclaw is calmed but enraged that his apprentice didn't listen to him.)

Anyways, he tells Thunderclan how Oakheart killed Ravenpaw and Redtail, while he was gloating Tigerclaw killed him in retaliation. Dustpaw mourns his brother and mentor's death and Tigerclaw sees Smudge in the clearing.

Fun changes:

- Tigerclaw uses his first apprentice Darkstripe to make Dustpaw see him as a hero. A backup ploy to slowly raise his popularity and chances to deputy hood.

- Smudge, now named Ashenpaw, is his apprentice and he sees him as the better Ravenpaw. "A crybaby that doesn't run."

- Tigerclaw becomes leader of Thunderclan when he kills Bluestar, and no one is none the wiser, he makes Whitestorm his deputy. (They were denmates and close friends)

Some doodles I did about the boy before making the final design! Also I did a meeting between canon Tigerstar and my Tigerstar lol

[Pink cat is Brokenstar. Darker purple is Ashenpaw!]
