ORIGINAL BLURB: Chrysaliswing's and Honeysplash's story starts in the midst of their apprenticehood, both meeting at quite a young point in their lives. Chrysalispaw was an irate and sarcastic apprentice who always lashed out, particularly at authority and outsiders. Honeysplash, then known as Bananapaw, was a bubbly and affable feline as well as the young sister to Orangestar (then known as Orangeblossom). She sought out Chrysalispaw as nothing more than a friend, at first. Their chance encounter started quite quickly, with Bananapaw persistently attempting to befriend the other time and time again. Chrysalispaw pushed her away, but she seemed to gravitate towards him more and more. There was something about her that he orbited around - perhaps it was their unending compassion or their determination to make him stick around in her life.
Chrysalispaw could never sort out why he felt the way he did towards Bananapaw, even after the other feline pined after Quillstrike (known then as Quillpaw). Jealousy started at his heart at the thought of Bananapaw with another cat that wasn't him - and though he did not recognize it as such, he felt spurned from it. As time went on, the pair grew closer even as she held flames for other cats. Chrysalispaw helped her through the wrinkles and messes of her life, much to his chagrin.
If their love was a sheet of stationery, then it surely would have been ripped in two when Honeysplash was taken by Twolegs when both cats had been fresh into their warriorhoods. Though it had been against her will, Chrysaliswing took it as a sign that he was not destined for love. Resenting the Twolegs for taking the only Skyclanner that truly cared for him, he repressed himself further into his own anger and hatred. There were many times that infatuation had crossed his mind, though none remained as strong and as fervent as the love he held for Honey. Honeysplash, in the meanwhile, had escaped from the Twolegs that captured her and wandered through the winding Twolegplace for many moons. For a while, it seemed as though the twin flames would never reunite.
She returned almost a year later, frazzled and dazed from traversing a world so far away from the clans. It came as a surprise to Chrysaliswing, who believed that she had left forever. Although Chrysaliswing and Honeysplash had many arguments, their relationship rekindled from the stagnant ashes it once lie in. A tryst became a rumor, which became public talks, which became a substantiated relationship. Soon, they became so close that the rest of the clan had started to notice them always at each other's sides. Their lives were not all roses and rainbows, though, as they continued to argue about their differences.
Then, an unexpected development arose: that Honeysplash was pregnant with Chrysaliswing's kits. Still harboring resentment from past arguments and holding onto the trauma from his own childhood, Chrysaliswing ran from the chance to start a family with the only cat that had ever been truly kind to him. Now, Honeysplash and her friend Flora are raising the kids, and the father of the brood shies away from his responsibility. Will the newly-made father return to his kits and mend the cats that he hurt? Will the abandoned mother manage to care for her kittens while navigating the landmine of her bond with Chrysaliswing?
