WQAU Jayfeather and Jay's Wing
As I mentioned in my Hollyclaw post, Jayfeather is going through some weird time travel possession stuff during po3/oots and I thought that Jayfeather's time torture deserved its own post.
So Jaypaw is first sent back in time into Jay's Wing's body during Outcast instead of Long Shadows, and instead of Jaypaw walking into the tunnels in the present and out of the tunnels in the past, Rock basically triggers a stroke in Jaypaw's mind, leaving him malliable enough to mentally transport temporarily into the body of Jay's Wing, who was in the tunnels at the time. Jaypaw does not consent to this by the way.
Jay's Wing is not Jayfeather's previous incarnation, he's just some poor dude that Rock picked out of convinience. Jaypaw possessing Jay's Wing's body essentially tears both of their minds apart and patchworks them back together, with parts of the other cat's brain thrown in for good measure.
Instead of The Ancients leaving solely due to prey shortage, Furled Bracken (who is now the equivalent to a Stone Teller) has a vision of the sun disappearing from the sky a few days after Jay's Wing emerges from the tunnels. The Ancients immediately decide to cast stone about what the fuck they should do and Jay's wing ends up as the deciding vote. He chooses to leave after realizing that these cats are the ancestors of The Tribe of Rushing Water.
Also this wasn't just one clean trip, Jaypaw was there for about a week total, but every day or so was being dragged back to Thunderclan for brief spurts of consciousness before Rock gave him another stroke, desperately trying to keep Jaypaw back with The Ancients.
So when Jaypaw returns from this experience, it's easy to say he's been completely rewired. Leafpool tells him that he's been unconscious for a whole quarter moon and Jaypaw tells her everything.
Leafpool freaks out a bit and that's why she was so quick to drive Sol out later in the book.
Every aspect of Jaypaw's mind has bits missing, bits out of place, bits that were never there to begin with. Jaypaw is increasingly frustrated that everything about himself has been tainted and replaced, he doesn't know what parts were Jay's Wing and which parts are him, and to make things worse the whole clan notices immediately that Jaypaw is not the cat he was before his stroke and they start walking on eggshells around him.
Jaypaw takes weeks to physically recover enough to leave the camp (regaining awareness, relearning movement and balance, figuring out how to understand what anyone is saying ever, etc.) but he's never going to recover mentally from his brief time as Jay's Wing.
But wait! There's more! During Omen of the Stars, when Jayfeather is with The Tribe (this is the first time we've travelled back to them since The New Prophey in the WQAU), Rock comes to him for the first time in years and tells him that "he's sorry to do this again", and triggers another stroke, sending Jayfeather back into Jay's Wing's body. Instead of being frequently pulled back to the present, he stays continuously in Jay's Wing's body for days, and he begins to think that he's trapped forever.
So with the thought that "oh I guess I'm never seeing my friends and family again" Jay's Wing allows himself to fall for Half Moon, while also helping The Ancients sort out their inner conflict about leaving the mountains (also he's not the one to teach them everything about their own culture that's dumb as shit in canon).
Jay's Wing sees the spirit of Rock in the cave and Rock tells him that his time is up with The Ancients, Jay's Wing is furious, ripping into Rock for splicing his mind when he was just a child and for destroying every part of himself that he thought he knew.
Rock apologizes again and tells Jay's Wing that the reason his stay has been continuous this time is because his body as Jayfeather is too weak to drag his mind back, if Jay's Wing stays here, Jayfeather will die. Rock says that Jay's Wing cannot be sustained if Jayfeather dies and he wishes he didn't have to put Jayfeather though everything that's happened to him.
Jay's Wing pleads for just a few minutes to say goodbye, and Rock melts into the shadows to let Jay's Wing make his peace. He tells Half Moon that his destiny lies somewhere else, and if he got the choice, he would choose to bring her with him. Half Moon becomes the Stoneteller and Jayfeather returns to his body, still in The Tribe's cave.
Although he only has one stroke this time, his mind is totally spliced with Jay's Wing. He can't walk and has to be carried home the whole way, and when he returns to Shadowclan, he asks Blackstar for permission to retire once he trains an apprentice to replace him (Flameflower/Flametail of course drowned before Jayfeather came to Shadowclan and Littlecloud probably couldn't handle the whole clan by himself), and Blackstar agrees, promising him an apprentice from the next litter born (that cat ends up being Ryeheart/Grassheart).
That's all I have to say about Jayfeather's time travel stuff for now, he's got other stuff going on unrelated to this, but this is just covering the Jay's Wing stuff.
Anyways ty for reading and if you have any requests or questions relating to the WQAU just send an ask ^^

Can I have chrysanthemum and iris?
Chrysanthemum: If you were a cat, what would your clan and rank be?
As much as I adore Windclan, with my penchant for swimming and love of water I'd probably be a Riverclan med cat. I love helping and taking care of others, and I'm notorious for fussing over the people I care about.
Iris: Name your top three favorite ships and your top three least favorite ships
You had to challenge me Trout. I'm gonna ramble a little for each so I'm putting these under a readmore lmao
I'm here for any Jayfeather ship since hes my favorite, but im gonna only pick one, but among them JayPoppy is top. Childhood buds, saved each other's lives more than once, such good chemistry. Berrynose is a homewrecker.
Longfire holds a special place in my heart because enemies/rivals to friends to lovers is so darn good. Their development into respecting one another had such Promise.
LeafHawk is another favorite purely for the absolute potential. I have gone on a ramble separately but also we all know my love of double illegal romances.
Honorable mentions go to Minnowmouse, snowlioncinder, and firesandferndust, all of which are the fault of you and the others at Fourtrees for giving me new ships to love or in the case of minnowmouse reigniting a ship I love.
Least favorites is hard because a) i can find a way to enjoy most ships, and b) most of my least favorites are some of the most popular ships.
Half Moon and Jayfeather I just don't vibe with. Jay's Wing is fine, and some lingering affection makes sense. But it feels Weird making Jayfeather love an ancient dead woman so much he yearns after her consistently after a couple of dreams. Hell I'd be fine with it if they gave her a reincarnation too and they had the whole "falling in love in every incarnation" would be fine. I just don't like the way it Is.
Hollyleaf/Fallen Leaves has the same problem as HalfJay, ancient dead cat with currently living young adult feels Weird. This also definitely involves how I dislike the way Hollyleaf is written in canon, and if I were to write it she would have died I the tunnels and then they could have a posthumous(post-cat-ous?) Romance.
If I HAD to pick a least favorite Canon relationship it would definitely go to BrambleSquirrel/LeafCrow I absolutely despise the route canon took with them because it could have been really sweet romances. Squilf choosing not to have Brambles in on the three being not his was not a choice I think made sense with any of the characters involved. Leaf knew Brambles could keep a secret, Squilf knew he was trustworthy and loved him, and Brambles has that drive to help those important to him. LeafCrow has the dubious honor of being my only disliked illegal romance in canon, and it definitely boils down to a lack of proper build up and Crowfeather's terrible develop.ent into a bitter asshole. Like... man let the gal dangle off a cliff and she still went and ran off with him?? Leafy, honey, some self respect please.
If you're gonna go for a toxic romance you have to let it be toxic but if you want me to believe it's this sweet life changing young love you gotta put in the work to MAKE it. Fanon depictions of these ships are always better imo, and honestly if you want to write bramblesquirrel as a romance that turns into a toxic or abusive marriage I'm here for it because that tells the story instead of completely changing their characterization out of No Where.
No dishonorable mentions because it took so long to think of ships I just don't enjoy personally. Like I said there are ways I can enjoy most ships.
