CW — suicidal thoughts & actions, blood, death ➴➴ There is more to life than love, but Gravelsnap finds that sentiment hard to believe when their love has been ripped from them so cruelly. Each time they close their eyes, they see clear blue eyes, fading from life, leaving them alone. They see...

➴➴ Their second apprentice, and a better one than the first. Of course, they had been proud of Thriftfeather when he had graduated, but the golden-furred tom had proven Gravelsnap’s pride misplaced when he turned his back on his clan in favor of a tyrant. Sheepwish, at least, has not turned...

➴➴ They have never allowed themself to show their grief on their face. It has always been a silent thing, hidden away from their clan, or a blaze of anger, rage rising from them like molten lava climbing the sides of a volcano. Eruption or silence, those have forever been Gravelsnap’s options...

➴➴ Their mate’s death has hit the warrior hard, and it shows in every last inch of Gravelsnap’s frame. Dull, patchy hair, thin from anxious overgrooming. Tired, sunken eyes, droopy with lack of sleep. A narrowed, angular frame, weakened from lack of food. They do not feel like doing anything...

➴➴ Being the mate to a lead warrior is no easy feat. Gravelsnap adores his mate, is endlessly proud of Peri’s accomplishments and position, the trust that he holds with the clan’s leader. To sit on the council of WindClan, having a say in decisions that affect the entire clan, is something that...

➴➴ Sharp eyes are quick to lock onto the strange new additions to the barn and the twoleg home next to it. Their patrolmates’ reactions are those of wonder and awe, even curiosity, but Gravelsnap’s nose wrinkles and their lip curls with distaste. The bright flashes make their jaw clench, eyes...

➴➴ The concept of having a family had, admittedly, always been one with teeth. A mother who existed in bloodied memories and a father whose paws were anything but soft. Gravelsnap had not been raised to think of anything besides loyalty and power—coincidentally, it had been this manner of...

➴➴ In hindsight, deciding to stubbornly trudge out into a blizzard had not been their brightest idea. They had thought it a good idea at the time, a way to take care of their mate while he lies in Cottonsprig’s den. At least this time, there is no badger sett for Periwinklebreeze to be marched...

➴➴ The hardworking decorating team had set about brightening up the camp, and Gravelsnap had merely watched as they worked. They have no desire to join in, their focus falling more on their mate and his well-being. Peri is prone to illness and overworking himself. With the early frost settling...

➴➴ In the years they have lived in WindClan’s territory (and it is hard to believe that it’s been years, they think) Gravelsnap has never been keen on straying too close to the wetlands. The last time they had, it was due to necessity—to keep Peri’s litter of kits safe. Now, it is due to...

➴➴ They have grown used to trailing after Periwinklebreeze; their mate's position on the leader's council elevates him to a position of authority, meaning that the scarred tom is often the one leading patrols rather than Gravelsnap. And Gravelsnap does not mind it at all, because they will take...

➴➴ They have to give it to the young tom… he is bold. In spite of the animosity that has lingered between their clans for so long—Gravelsnap themself recalls trekking through snow and ice to reach SkyClan’s camp—he continues to speak to them. Candorpaw even compliments their name, and a wisp of...

➴➴ The heightened age for apprentices to become warriors had annoyed Gravelsnap at first. Thriftfeather had become an warrior at only nine months of age—but then again, he had been apprenticed younger than the likes of Sheeppaw and Thistlepaw. At least Thistlepaw has the excuse of being a new...

➴➴ Thistlepaw’s first gathering comes at a less than ideal time, but Gravelsnap intends to make the best of it. Their newest apprentice—stars, when did they get so old that they were entrusted with multiple apprentices?—is experiencing it all for the first time, so they can only hope that no...
