Brightmaple and Barleyswipe have both noticed an empty nursery. They are both willing to bear a litter for their clan (Brightmaple loves kits and was hoping to have another litter before she joins Starclan) and their genes will bring fresh bloodlines into the nursery.

This would be a mating strictly out of convenience.

Wildcry has not been blind to the lack of kits in the thunderclan nursery. With Dustpaw’s passing, she has decided it would be a good time to have another litter of kits if possible. She believes Bravesong would be a good candidate due to his prior senior warrior status as well as showing immense bravery in the face of danger and protecting his clan at the ultimate cost.

Moosestar hasn’t really impressed her and doesn’t want to give Greenfang a reason to gloat.

Cloudflare and Aspenberry both grew up together, with the pair only being a few moons apart. This resulted in a shared kithood, along with training during apprenticeship. The two have an easygoing, relaxed relationship with mutual trust and respect. Cloudflare is a key member of Aspenberry’s inner circle, and there is nothing she wouldn’t trust him with. Cloudflare has always been a pillar of support for Aspenberry, and was especially supportive during her transition to deputy.

Having a litter of her own is something Aspenberry has only decided on recently. WindClan means everything to her, and as deputy she has a set of responsibilities she can’t so if nursing kits. After talking with Cloudflare, they agreed to share duties, meaning once the kits are weaned she can take back her duties while Cloudflare spends time in the nursery. Deep down she believes having this litter is a selfish choice, but it is something she really wants, and a new way for her to show her love to her clan.

There are a lot of threads and I’ve probably forgotten some but here we go…

https://www.chosenofstarclan.com/community/windclan-camp/have-you-herb/ – Aspenberry awkwardly interrupts the chatter of siblings (Cloudflare, Piperpaw and Brightpaw) after falling over and knocking her head.

https://www.chosenofstarclan.com/community/windclan-camp/flare-over-the-horizon-16lg2020/#post-53993 – Aspenberry, Cloudflare and Dovewing participate in casual chatter, where Aspenberry finds something to tease Cloudflare about.

https://www.chosenofstarclan.com/community/windclan-camp/am-i-doing-this-right/#post-54674 – Aspenberry confides in Cloudflare over her stress of being deputy. They accidentally upset Bayflower after unintentionally not including him. Aspenberry doesn’t understand why Bayflower thinks her relationship with them is any different to that of Cloudflare’s.

https://www.chosenofstarclan.com/community/windclan-camp/pine-on-the-moors/ – Cloudflare recruits Aspenberry to help him deal with a pine marten.

https://www.chosenofstarclan.com/community/plateau-wc-territory/danger-on-the-wind/ – Cloudflare and Aspenberry kill the pine marten with their strong level of trust, respect and teamwork.

https://www.chosenofstarclan.com/community/windclan-camp/the-more-the-merrier-18lr20/#post-55509 – A few cats come to visit Beewhisker’s new kits. Seeing her friend’s kits makes Aspenberry feel funny, and Cloudflare likes watching Aspenberry interact with the kits.

https://www.chosenofstarclan.com/community/windclan-camp/two-bodies-are-warmer-than-one/#post-55997 – The two cuddle during on the the colder days of leafbare, and after a moment Aspenberry sleepily brings up the idea of having a litter. She asks if Cloudflare would want to be there for her when the time is right.

https://www.chosenofstarclan.com/community/plateau-wc-territory/im-ready-if-you-are/#post-56230 – Having made up her mind, Aspenberry invites Cloudflare out for a walk on one of the sunnier leafbare days. She eventually asks him if he would like to sire a litter for her.

Cloudflare and Clovershine would be good candidates for the next Shadowclan litter. They have two IC threads that shape up their relationship up until Clovershine requests Cloudflare to sire a litter from her as well as that Gathering thread from that moon where they briefly interact.

To see their progression towards having a litter:

Heralds We All

Kestrelswipe and Beewhisker meet officially, and discuss each other’s clan lives.

A Bird and A Bee

Kestrelswipe and Beewhisker build on their friendship established from the gathering, speaking more about their personal lives rather than clan politics.

What’s the Buzz About?

Kestrelswipe and Beewhisker meet on the border, and Beewhisker’s willingness to help save Kestrelswipe from a swarm of wasps makes him appreciate them more. All clan politics are forgotten (except for Larchpaw’s questions), and the two cats focus more on their own relationship.

Question of the Hour

Beewhisker meets with Kestrelswipe to formally ask to have a litter.

Aspenberry first came across Kosmo during one of her adventures outside of WindClan territory. She had fallen over after taking the freedom to run, causing a nasty bump and cut to her head. Kosmo approached her, wanting to help, though Aspenberry was cautious. The bump to the head led to her being more accepting, in which she let Kosmo help her. She was intrigued by him, and hoped that maybe she would see him again sometime.

The two continue to meet randomly across the next few moons, unplanned and unexpected. Aspenberry finds herself drawn to him and his different way of life, and Kosmo seems to have a soft spot for the WindClan deputy, despite his strong dislike towards haling from clan life. Kosmo gives Aspenberry a taste of freedom, and Aspenberry finds herself able to confide in him, expressing her ideals and desires.

Probably forgotten some again but here we go…

https://www.chosenofstarclan.com/community/border-lands-wc-territory/a-fateful-encounter/ – Aspenberry and Kosmo meet for the first time after Aspenberry eventually accepts his help with her injury. She is lightheaded and slightly delirious, but still finds herself drawn to him.

https://www.chosenofstarclan.com/community/border-lands-wc-territory/talons-tribulations/ – Aspenberry and Kosmo meet again, this time with a hawk too. They fight it off together and Kosmo gains a light injury. After they begin to talk about some of their differences in views, and Aspenberry tries to understand Kosmo better.

https://www.chosenofstarclan.com/community/northern-farm/farmhouse-pharmacy/ – Kosmo takes Aspenberry to meet some of his friends at the farmhouse. Aspenberry is very curious, and they, alongside Ghost end up enjoying some catmint…

https://www.chosenofstarclan.com/community/border-lands-wc-territory/not-you-again/ – Surprise, surprise! Aspenberry and Kosmo run into each other yet again while Aspenberry explores further than she usually does. Eventually they come across a abandoned machine, in which they explore together. The two talk and get to know each other a little better.

https://www.chosenofstarclan.com/community/highstones/twilight-rendezvous/#post-56158 – Needing some time alone, Aspenberry makes her way towards highstones where she crosses paths with Kosmo. He is exactly the sort of company she needed, and the two stargaze while exchanging stories heard from their parents. It is a beautiful night, and Aspenberry finds herself even closer to Kosmo.

https://www.chosenofstarclan.com/community/northern-farm/fates-intertwined/#post-56232 – After spending the morning with Cloudflare, Aspenberry leaves WindClan territory to clear her head. She comes across Kosmo, and after some casual chatter, she impulsively asks him if he wanted to be a sire to her litter. Kosmo and Aspenberry’s fates are clearly intertwined, and she wants to bring a part of Kosmo to her home.

Six week old kittens for clans sub-plot.

This litter is being organized by the game staff.

Born under a Tigermoon.

This litter was created and will be handled by the staff.

Emberdust and Specklenose have grown up together side by side, Speckle only being a moon older than Ember. Emberdust isn’t the best warrior, at least in her eyes. She prefers hunting less skillful prey like frogs and lizards and thinks border patrols are boring. Despite understanding that her own dam lost her life giving birth to Ember and Echo, she still thinks this would be the best way to contribute to her clan – and if complications arise, then she’s alright with that.

Both cats are on good, playful terms and are full of michief. They may not be the most mature parents a litter could have, but Emberdust is truly fond of Specklenose either way. Here are some threads that cement this bond.

• https://chosenofstarclan.com/community/shadowclan-camp/elegant-as-ever/#post-55466
  • Emberdust, Specklenose, and Brackenwing lament leaf-bare and the disappearance of frogs, but chat fondly about clan life and sharing nests should it become too cold!

• https://chosenofstarclan.com/community/marshland-sc-territory/trudge-and-tramp/#post-55503
  • Emberdust and Specklenose go out hunting during a rainstorm to see if the sidestream gives creative opportunities for hunting and eventually bring back a mole, a frog, and a dace! Emberdust admires Specklenose’s dip into the stream and the two buddy buddy back to camp to keep each other warm

• https://chosenofstarclan.com/community/shadowclan-camp/happy-sun-back-day/#post-55510
  • During a pleasantly warm leaf-bare day Emberdust takes the initiative and invites Specklenose sunbathing, promising to lead him to a super secret spot!

• https://chosenofstarclan.com/community/marshland-sc-territory/hunting-sunbeams/
  • Emberdust leads Specklenose out for a day of sunbathing near smallswamp, where the two share a pleasant day absorbing sunbeams, chatting, and sharing tongues before Emberdust jokes about having a litter which leads to a request

Wildcry and Stormfall are the same age, so would have grown up together. They seem to share a soft admiration for one another, and after many moons of Wildcry analyzing her choices in sires, she’s acknowledged that Stormfall would be a decent choice. Wildcry wants to contribute one more litter for Thunderclan, as she has some worries about their future. Another litter would also solidify her legacy and legacy of her ancestors.

Here are the threads they’ve been in together:

• https://chosenofstarclan.com/community/thunderclan-camp/the-wilds-i-roam/#post-55165
  • Stormfall finds Wildcry up in a tree observing the clan, of which they share some aspirations and beliefs about Thunderclan.
• https://chosenofstarclan.com/community/thunderclan-camp/nursery-watch/#post-55304
  • Wildcry is thoughtful and concerned about Sunstrike’s pregnancy and again wonders about Thunderclan’s future. She shares her concerns with Stormfall, and boldly, Stormfall suggests himself as a sire, making Wildcry take notice.
• https://chosenofstarclan.com/community/woods-tc-territory/testing-grounds/#post-55308
  • Wildcry brings Stormfall to the side stream clearing to test the limits of his hunting skills. Afterwards, Wildcry asks Stromfall to sire a litter of kits from her.

Sunstrike and Wrentalon are established to have grown up together and trained together as apprentices. They show that they are willing to back each other up, and Sunstrike is more confident around him than most other cats in Thunderclan after they chase Kosmo from TC territory. They also report back to Moosestar of their findings. Thread – Heretical Harvest and Rouge Report https://chosenofstarclan.com/community/woods-tc-territory/heretical-harvest/ https://chosenofstarclan.com/community/thunderclan-camp/rogue-report/#post-53684

Wrentalon helps Sunstrike escape from being trapped in a tree, and comforts her when Wildcry berates her. She compliments him about how she thinks he would be a good mentor – and is a kind cat in general. Thread – Striking back at the Sun https://chosenofstarclan.com/community/rivers-edge-tc-territory/striking-back-at-the-sun/#post-53767

Sunstrike and Wrentalon reconvene after the Kits are found at the gathering, and discuss the strange behavior of Savagefox, as well as Sunstrike’s fears about the deaths in the clans. She is grateful that Wrentalon took her advice and avoided a fight, even when one was about the break out between RC and TC. Sunstrike comments on Wrentalon’s fighting skills, and about how she wonders when the nursery will be full of kits besides Bravesong and Coyotekit. Thread – TC Activity check 14LG’20 and Gathering Gossip https://chosenofstarclan.com/community/thunderclan-camp/activity-check-tc-pre-gathering-meeting-14lg20/ https://chosenofstarclan.com/community/woods-tc-territory/gathering-gossip/#post-54258

Wrentalon is approached by Sunstrike about siring a part of her litter, in tandem with Moosestar. He manages to talk her out of her scheme, and she agrees that a single sire will likely cause fewer hurt feelings overall – she also respects Wrentalon enough to listen to his opinion. Sunstrike originally wanted to have both cat’s kittens as it would a) lessen the amount of time she had to spend in the nursery and b) potentially protect the kits from the fission in the clan. This discussion happens on Moon of Cheetah’s Flight ’20, out of earshot of Kestrelswipe who Sunstrike is trying to avoid.
