Better Bones AU (Blog)	comment	The Better Bones AU is an Alternate Universe Fic / rewrite of the Warrior Cats series made by Tumblr user Bonefall, which can be found here, consisting of various posts describing how certain parts of the series will be rewritten. It is still under construction and accepting feedback from other fans, though the ultimate plan is for it to include detailed outlines of every chapter of every rewritten book. The Better Bones AU makes major changes to the characters and plot, but also the ecology and culture of the Clans and other groups they encounter, giving them a material culture higher on the Sliding Scale of Anthropomorphism and documenting the cats' relationship with many different species of animals and plants found in northern England while trying to avoid Artistic License â€“ Biology with herbal medicines used in the series. It also explores political themes, with even minor characters being given consistent political opinions and the overall narrative of all the arcs centered on the conflict between three political ideologies of the Clans.

Better Bones AU (Blog) / int_121b3725	comment	Age Lift: Several cats get their ages changed to match up with how old they were initially said to be by the narrative, even if that doesn't line up with the later canon timeline. Yellowfang is now around 12 or 13 years old by Into the Wild to keep with her portrayal as an elderly cat, though her siblings who were littermates in canon are now younger than her and thus get to be closer to their canon ages. One-eye is significantly older than in canon to match with her early portrayal as the oldest cat in ThunderClan. Graypool is now older than Willowbreeze to match with how in The Prophecies Begin she is an elder and even developing dementia. Some of the ThunderClan cast of The Prophecies Begin also get made younger to try to fix how few cats in canon were born in the long time span between Bluestar becoming deputy and Firestar's generation. Goldenflower and Lionheart are now younger, for instance, as well as Willowpelt (no longer a littermate or any sort of sibling of Redtail and Spottedleaf) and Brindleface. Tigerstar gets made slightly younger to match in age with Redtail and Spottedleaf and is no longer older than Whitestorm. Crowfeather is now a full warrior by the beginning of The New Prophecy, which both removes the power imbalance in his relationship with Feathertail and makes it so his father Deadfoot actually would have been alive when he was conceived. Breezepelt is younger than his half-siblings rather than being implied to be older, to avoid an inconsistency where Crowfeather had left Lionblaze, Jayfeather and Hollyleaf's mother Leafpool before he became mates with Breezepelt's mother Nightcloud. Splashheart and Aspentail are now born much later, being in RiverClan around Darkstar's leadership. Lakeheart is older than in canon to make her name has special resonance as one of the first cats born at the lake. Gray Wing is around 7 years old when the Tribe cats leave the mountains, as opposed to the very young warrior he is in canon, to underscore how xey already have a reputation for wisdom. Mosspaw and Volewhisper are now full-grown warriors during the WindClan massacre, with Mossthorn dying in the battle and Volewhisper being injured there instead of by rats.

Better Bones AU (Blog) / int_12beeeb2	comment	Non-Heteronormative Society: Clan cats have a concept of three genders, with their associated stereotypes that are different from those used by human societies and more reflect real-life cats, and accept same-gender couples and transgender cats just as well as they accept opposite-gender couples and cisgender cats (though they can still pressure cats like Dustpelt who are not transgender but do not fit the stereotypes of the gender they identify as to be more conforming). The cultural concept of parenthood also involves a primary parent who does most of the caretaking and secondary parents, a concept which is completely gender-neutral.

While Harry/Sol in SkyClan and the Stranger is a mostly pathetic and unthreatening villain who doesn't do anything worse than try to kidnap Leafstar and Billystorm's kits and is stopped, here he's still a rather pathetic character but working on behalf of a god, for whom he wants to find a kit to sacrifice like he's already done to two others, and he succeeds in killing Stormkit.

Since he's dead and can only interact with the living, this goal takes the form of trying to replace the leadership of the Clans with Dark Forest apprentices, and he has initial success in this goal with Firestar being killed and Thornclaw, a Dark Forest apprentice, becoming deputy, as well as Blackstar being manipulated by Sol giving an opportunity for the ShadowClan Dark Forest apprentices Ratscar, Redwillow and Applefur to take power.

Better Bones AU (Blog) / int_18aff462	type	Artistic License â€“ Biology
Better Bones AU (Blog) / int_18aff462	comment	Artistic License â€“ Biology: Not as much as in the canon books, but there are still some cases that are preserved. The cats, like in canon, are able to see all colors humans can. Like in canon, the characters at times are capable of killing another cat more quickly and easily than a real cat would be able to. Diabetes in the feline characters is portrayed as it works in humans; that is, type 2 diabetes can be treated in medicine and will never progress into type 1 diabetes, which is not the case in cats. This is to allow it to be more relatable to people with diabetes in the audience and not spread the existing misconception that type 2 diabetes in humans can become type 1. Like in canon, the cats' coat colors are not genetically accurate. Justified by how StarClan cats have the power to "design" kittens, and while they can't make kittens with Amazing Technicolor Wildlife fur they might be able to bend the rules of genetic inheritance. Cats like Houndleap have keloid scars in spite of this being impossible for cats in real life. Brightheart's scars are also, as in canon, more striking than they would be in real life, where fur would eventually grow over them.

It also marks the end of the River Kingdom and Wind Coalition as entities culturally separate from the Tribe-descended Clans, with them being known as RiverClan and WindClan from then on.

Better Bones AU (Blog) / int_2022e66d	comment	Invasion of the Baby Snatchers: Before the law of the Warrior Code protection kits was made, Clan cats would occasionally steal kits from kittypets and other Clans. This, with the requisite expectation that those kits would be considered fully part of their adopted Clan, is the reason why Clan cats in the rewrite are so accepting of adoption despite being obsessed with Clan blood and loyalty. Oakstar kept trying to do this even right after the law was made by trying to take Reedshine's kits. As in canon, Brokenstar is happy to continue this tradition by taking kits from other Clans. Moth Flight's kits are stolen due to them also having medical skills and a connection to StarClan, and each Clan wanting a cat with those abilities. She makes them promise to never take a mate and kits as part of an overall oath to be loyal to medicine over the Clans who stole them from their mother.

Firestar isn't always the best parent to him, but it's portrayed as due to his young age and all the stress he's dealing with rather than him just being an obstacle Cloudtail faces.

Cue cats baking Tigerstar-themed tunnelbuns, which also serve as a good item to trade with BloodClan and show the Clan cats hate Tigerstar as much as they do.

Better Bones AU (Blog) / int_24067bb9	comment	Related in the Adaptation: Redtail and Spottedleaf are now Rosetail's kits instead of Adderfang and Swiftbreeze's. Instead of being Robinwing and Fuzzypelt's kit, Frostfur is the biological daughter of Featherwhisker adopted by Stonepelt and Weedwhisker. Sandstorm and Longtail are siblings and the kits of Redtail and Runningwind. Swiftpaw is Tigerstar's son, as opposed to having an unknown father in canon. Dovewing and Ivypool are Lionblaze and Cinderheart's children (biologically Jayfeather and Poppyfrost's and adopted by them) instead of Whitewing and Birchall's. Sparkpelt and Alderheart are Jessy's kits instead of Squirrelflight's. Graystripe and Darkstripe are Dappletail's kits instead of Willowpelt's. Littlecloud and Rowanclaw are brothers and are Brokenstar's kits. Pebble Heart, Sparrow Fur (now Sparrow Heart) and Owl Eyes are still Turtle Heart (Turtle Tail) and Tom's biological kits, though Bumble is now also their adoptive mother and Turtle Heart's mate. Hollyleaf, now called Fallenleaf after her ordeal in the tunnels, Hollylark's other mother. Meanwhile canon Hollytuft's siblings, Snaptooth and Flywhisker, are still Lionblaze's kits but the other parent is Toadstep instead of Cinderheart. Rainflower is now the grandchild of Appledusk instead of Shellheart (making Crookedstar still his great grandson), with Duskwater as the kit of Appledusk and Reedshine who becomes Rainflower's mother. Silver Stripe and White Tail are now Sun Shadow's kits instead of Gray Wing and Slate's (Black Ear is now in Rainswept Flower's family). Graystripe is actually Fang/Honeysuckle's father, though neither of them know it. Sparrowpelt and Sandynose are siblings. Quailfeather, Birdwing and Finleap are kits of Sandynose and Egg. Voletooth is the father of Mintfur's kittens. Cherrytail's kits are biologically Echosong's instead (Cherrytail is spayed), though Echosong is still not involved in raising them at all and is just a surrogate. ** Rockshade is the father of Plumwillow's kittens (which no longer includes Finleap). Rainstorm and Rippletail are the kits of Swallowtail and Rainwhisker. Shell Claw is Acorn Swoop (Acorn Fur) and Red Claw's kit instead of Thunder and Violet Dawn's. Appledapple (a renamed Applefur from Tigerclaw's Fury) is now Snowbird and Ratscar's mother. Aspentail is Darkstar's sister and Perchshine (Perchpaw) is her kit with Splashheart. Greenflower and Duckfur (a Word of God-given "missing kit" who here lives to become a warrior) are siblings. Greenflower is mates with Sedgecreek and Swallowtail is their daughter (the biological kit of Greenflower and honor sire Loudbelly). Swansong (Graypool and Rippleclaw's son) is now Mosspelt's mate instead of Frogleap and the father of her kits, which include Stonestream in addition to Mosspelt's canon offspring Dawnflower and Willowshine. Stonestream in turn is the father of Mossyfoot and Troutstream. Shadepelt is the mother of Pouncetail and Graymist. Gullswoop is the daughter of Ivytail and Darktail instead of Snowbird and Scorchfur, and Ivytail herself is the daughter of Fernshade and Wolfstep. While Shinecloud is still Birchface and Frecklewish's mother as per Word of God, Beetail is their father instead of Oakstar, and Flowerpot and Nettlebreeze are their half-siblings (Beetail's kits but not Shinecloud's). Squirrelwhisker is Beetail's sister. Seedpelt (Pinestar's Choice) is now named Seedfall and is Adderfang's sister. Snake Claw (originally Snake) and Red Claw are Tribe cats rather than outsiders here, and are siblings, with Petal Claw (formerly Petal, also now a tribe cat) as their mother.

Some of the more famous StarClan cats gain enough power from being remembered and worshipped to be considered something like gods themselves, although they are not as powerful as the main four and their power, unlike those four, is still dependent on how much they are worshipped. These are largely cats from Dawn of the Clans due to their legendary status as founders, including the five founders (with Clear Sky as a War God and Thunder Storm as a patron of justice), Gray Wing as a god of wisdom, Bumble as a god of language, and Acorn Swoop as a god of prra (a somewhat untranslatable concept, but referring more or less to perfect/fortuitous timing. Daisytail is a well-remembered god, Pearstar (canon Pearnose) is a patron of revolution, and in more modern times Firestar is a god associated with fire, particularly starting a cooking fire, and Speckletail is a patron of disaster prayed to to shield one from it. The four gods themselves were likely once mortals, though so far back no one knows who they once were.

Better Bones AU (Blog) / int_3456f3c5	comment	Good Thing You Can Heal: Justified - the Proud Warrior Race Guy culture of the Clans means leaders are expected to throw themselves into deadly situations, be on the front lines of battles and sacrifice themselves for their Clanmates all the time, which is why StarClan gives them nine lives as opposed to more peaceful groups like the Tribe where their Stonetellers are given the power to live a very long time without dying of natural causes, but can't revive after being killed. As a result of this, leaders often die so often they don't live to the maximum lifespan of a cat despite their nine lives, with Tallstar, Mistystar and Riverstar being exceptions.

There are several other male-to-female gender flips.

Better Bones AU (Blog) / int_34dd5f3	comment	La RÃ©sistance: There are several of them throughout the series, some of which are new to the rewrite and others which existed in canon but are expanded upon with new members. Nightpelt's resistance against Brokenstar, which eventually overthrows him with ThunderClan's help, included Deerfoot and Stumptail... and not Runningnose, who is a loyal supporter of Brokenstar here. Several TigerClan cats oppose their leadership and secretly help the half-Clan cats, mostly RiverClan cats with the exception of Deerfoot and Jaggedtooth due to Runningnose having killed a lot of the former Nightstar supporters from ShadowClan in the epidemic. Besides Deerfoot and Jaggedtooth, this includes Reedpaw, Mudfur, Mosspelt, Dawnflower and Swansong. They allow Stormpaw, Featherpaw and Mistyfoot to escape to ThunderClan but Deerfoot gets caught and killed for refusing to name his allies. Breezepelt and Heathertail oppose the Kin from within it and help rescue many cats slated for execution, with the help of WindClan allies like Harespring and Brushblaze. As in canon, there is a resistance against the Bramblestar impostor, though this time Cloudtail and Briarlight are also involved, and Finchpaw is an active member rather than just leaving with Sparkpelt, helping set up the reputation of Firestar's kin as heroes.

In-Universe, the names Brokenstar gives runs on this; for example Mossthorn is named because "thorn" sounds cool and tough, ignoring that the name sounds like it's referring to painful thorns being stuck in moss bedding.

Better Bones AU (Blog) / int_372bc105	comment	Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism: Falls somewhere in the middle, but leans towards idealism, noticeably more so than the books it is based on. Many idealists end up as Doomed Moral Victors (Deerfoot, Larkstripe and Ripplestar)), falling prey to people who want to manipulate their goals for cynical ends (Sleekwhisker and the rest of the ShadowClan rebels) or suffering for their determination to change things until they completely break (Bluestar), but others like Firestar transform their society for the better in a way that sticks, even if they get eventually killed for it and the cruel mindsets they thought keep resurfacing as threats over and over again, unlike in the canon series where the thread of changing the system largely seems to be dropped. No one is inherently evil, unlike what is implied in canon, groups of foreigners can be negotiated with rather than canon's use of invading hordes that can't be reasoned with, and many characters change for the better, but it is also shown that some cats are Beyond Redemption because they choose not to change and trying to redeem them will only lead to heartbreak. Supernatural threats are often too powerful to be beaten, leading to the bad guy winning or sacrifices for a temporary victory. Many characters perform awesome and sometimes self-sacrificial acts of heroism that generally matter and achieve their intended goals. Honor Before Reason can sometimes pay off, but sometimes Violence Really Is the Answer. The resident Wide-Eyed Idealist, Tallstar, is not naive because of thinking he could improve the world but naive for not going far enough outside of his ingrained cultural mindset to make lasting change. The overall message is that cultures constantly change, whether for the better or for the worse.

Better Bones AU (Blog) / int_39a41690	comment	Adaptational Sympathy: Canon Brokenstar has no redeeming qualities and is treated by the narrative as being "born evil". This Brokenstar still does all the horrible things the canon one does but is shown to not be inherently that way and is more an extreme product of the Clans' battle-focused culture, where in response to a war that WindClan started he feels he has to retaliate and win the war or all the death and suffering of the war would be for nothing. He kills Raggedstar after serving him loyally for years because he fears Raggedstar making peace would make the war for nothing, rather than killing him immediately because Ambition Is Evil. He later gets to become the benevolent guardian of SkyClan after his death when Firestar takes his spirit along on the quest to rebuild it. Similarly, Hawkfrost maintains his villainous role in the narrative but is shown to have been initially a kinder cat. His descent into villainy being due to the bad influence of a Clan that hasn't put aside Tigerstar's ideology rather than being In the Blood, and he gets a redemption arc in the rewritten Omen of the Stars after he dies. The ShadowClan rebels from A Vision of Shadows are shown to have more sympathetic and heroic reasons for challenging the status quo, though they still end up being caught up in Darktail's cult and Sleekwhisker becomes fully a villain due to her loyalty to his cause while Needletail is still in part selfishly out for power and a sense of purpose in her life with the Kin. Needletail also is an ally of Alderheart due to both believing the separation of Violetkit and Twigkit was wrong, unlike in canon where she was the one to suggest the separation in the first place and shows no sign of regretting it. Moth Flight now has a more sympathetic reason for creating the law of clerics not taking mates or kits. In canon she just thinks because she struggled to take care of her kits while managing her job, no cat can, but here her kits were stolen by the other Clans for their medicine skills, and she makes them take the oath as a rebellion against the Clans who did it, showing they will be loyal to medicine over the ones who stole them. Ripplestar is no longer invading the other clans' territory just for power but to free up territory for SkyClan to return to. While not a villain in canon, Ivypool has a more sympathetic reason for her jealousy of her sister and training in the Dark Forest. Lionblaze and Jayfeather still pay a lot of attention to Dovewing due to her powers, but here Lionblaze is their father rather than Dovewing's mentor who would be expected to pay special attention to his apprentice and not Ivypool. In addition, she goes to the Dark Forest because Lionblaze pressures her into being a spy rather than only becoming a spy later. There is no bridge Mapleshade could have taken to bring her kits safely across the river in the rewrite, so her kits' death is in no way her fault. Darktail is still a ruthless villain, but here he is never violent just because he is sadistically amused, killing Mistfeather in self-defense and rather than initially intending to kill Needletail but offering to free her if she kills Violetpaw just to taunt her with something he knows she wouldn't do, he initially intends to kill Violetpaw but, after Needletail intervenes to save her, decides Needletail is the one who should die because she has corrupted Violetpaw into committing her "crimes".

There is also a third gender that exists in the culture of the Clans, the gib or meewa (in clanmew). Meewa cats include Gray Wing, Pebble Heart, Owl Eyes, Goosefeather, Mumblefoot, Larksong, Snowkit, Cinderheart, Poppyfrost, Dovewing, Hollylark, Blackstar, Ratscar, Runningnose, Feathertail, Pebblefoot, Copperwing, Frostpaw, Tree, Leafpool and Skywatcher, and while Iceheart spends much of his life in a culture that does not have this gender, he connects with it when he joins the Clans. note Most of the cats are referred to by their canon pronouns for simplicity's sake, In-Universe because using a non-gendered pronoun wouldn't be quite accurate to a third gender and clanmew does not use gendered pronouns so the translators tried to approximate, out-of-universe to avoid confusion with the canon books, though "they" or a new pronoun like "xey/xem" is also acceptable. Twigbranch and Finleap don't fit in to any of the three genders; Twigbranch is agender and Finleap is multigender.

Thornclaw is no longer the father of Blossomfall's kits; the father was a cat from the Kin who she doesn't talk about due to the Queen's Rights.

There's also Greenflower, who was only mentioned in canon as a potential wet nurse for Graystripe's kits and then forgotten about and replaced by Mosspelt. In general, the Better Bones AU has a lot of these due to its policy of not using any OCs, forcing the use of characters for whom not much is known except their name - if even that - to fill the Clan rosters and Tangled Family Tree.

Better Bones AU (Blog) / int_3ed17fe0	comment	Wide-Eyed Idealist: Tallstar's naive idealism gets him and his Clan into a lot of trouble. He leaves behind the nomad life with Jake believing he can change the Clans for the better, but his belief that he can end the war with ShadowClan while still keeping the land they won (despite WindClan starting the war) out of Clan pride leads to Brokenstar's vicious retaliation, and he believes he can keep his kit Flytail innocent and idealistic only for him to become another vicious warrior. Finally, when he dies he thinks switching the deputy to Onewhisker will allow for a new, kinder vision of leadership, but his inopportune switch leads to the former deputy Mudclaw starting a civil war and Onewhisker, who he ultimately didn't know well enough to be so sure he would be a good leader, caving under the pressure and becoming exactly the kind of leader Mudclaw would have been anywhere. Note that the Better Bones AU isn't so cynical as a whole that all idealistic character are treated like this (others like Firestar are successful), just that his particular naive view leads to him failing in exacting lasting change.

Better Bones AU (Blog) / int_3f45f1e6	comment	Adaptational Heroism: BloodClan is no longer a villainous group but a neutral group that both provides important services and protection to the cats of the city and can be ruthless to those who oppose them. Scourge himself gets to join ThunderClan and become a loyal ally of Firestar. Lizardstripe in canon only existed to be an abusive mother; here, while she still isn't the best mother (though not outright abusive), she has sympathetic qualities and is the ShadowClan member of the forget-me-nots who help create a new model of friendship and respect between the Clans. Blackstar is more definitively redeemed and a good leader after the first arc here, with his leadership being responsible for ShadowClan not having many Dark Forest apprentices. He is very mad when he finds out a ShadowClan patrol watched Berrykit suffer. Likewise Russetfur is no longer part of said patrol but the one to discover them, and is equally angry at their cruelty. StarClan in general gets this for the most part - while they do send some cats like Morningstar, Pinestar, Ravenwing, and Appledusk to the Dark Forest who they didn't in canon due to Deliberate Values Dissonance or "mob justice", they also don't do some of the more cruel and manipulative things they do in canon, like encouraging Leafpool to run away with Crowfeather only to punish her and consider sending her to the Dark Forest for the kits she had as a result. Also, while letting Ashfur into StarClan still turns out to backfire on their part, they do it because of how he was partially motivated by fear the prophecy of the Three could threaten his Clan (and Ashfur also only committed one crime here, the attempt to murder Hollyleaf, Jayfeather and Lionblaze in the fire; he never plotted with Hawkfrost), not like in canon where they let him in because they think Ashfur just "loved too much". Thistleclaw is still a villain but he's no longer a pedophile; his villainy solely lies in his violently xenophobic ideology. A variation with Stumptail where he was inconsistently portrayed in canon both as a loyal Brokenstar supporter who was exiled with him and joined him in the Dark Forest, and a member of the rebellion against him who stayed in ShadowClan. The rewrite sticks with the more heroic interpretation. Gray Wing in canon supported Bumble being not allowed into the group due to her being "useless" and resenting her for taking Turtle Tail from him, and is unrepentant for that (caring even at her death more that it makes her probable murderer Clear Sky look bad), but here Gray Wing, who dies far earlier, shows in xeir StarClan appearance that xey approve of Thunder Storm being up in arms against Bumble's treatment, and xey never make excuses for Clear Sky. Bright Storm, meanwhile, who takes many of Gray Wing's previous roles, does participate in kicking Bumble out but regrets her actions and ultimately teams up with Thunder Storm to save her. Stonewing in canon is a supporter of the bigoted Berryheart, but here he is a strong supporter of Heartstar (the former Tigerheart) and opposes Berryheart, due to the bonds he formed with Dovewing and Strikestone in being deaf cats trying to form a community and create a sign language. Snake Claw (named Snake in canon) still starts out as a vicious supporter of Clear Sky as in canon, and again as in canon he turns against him for letting One Eye take over and abuse Clear Sky's Clan. However, while in canon his motives get retconned so he now just preferred One Eye over Clear Sky all along and ends up joining the Obviously Evil Slash, in this AU he follows through on his defection and joins Thunder's Clan.

Better Bones AU (Blog) / int_40cad744	comment	Flower Motifs: Used to represent the various competing political ideologies. Thistleclaw uses his namesake the thistle to demonstrate his philosophy of extreme violence and xenophobia, as shown by how attacking a thistle bush only leaves you wounded and the bush fine. Bluestar, the progenitor of the more compassionate "fire alone" ideology, and her True Companions use forget-me-nots as a symbol of their friendship which inspired their political beliefs. Traditionalists who believe in the Clans never helping each other but not upsetting the balance between them and destroying each other use the metaphor of a honeysuckle bush used in canon in The Last Hope to represent how the Clans' fighting makes them stronger but they all come from the same roots.

Blackstar's desire to atone for his action is given more focus than in canon with him genuinely proving himself to be repentant and being a good leader. Nobody in StarClan is initially willing to give him his nine lives because of his previous actions but he refuses lives from the Dark Forest instead, working throughout his life to prove himself to StarClan and earn his lives. Spiderleg feels horrible about siding with the Dark Forest and almost killing his son Toadstep in the Great Battle, leading to him becoming a hardline supporter of traditionalism and the warrior code and personally asking for a punishment from the fake Bramblestar. Fallenleaf (Hollyleaf), who was already this in canon, is even more so here due to the many more evil things she did in the Better Bones AU, much of which happened so long in the past thanks to time travel that no one even remembers it and she bears their burden alone.

Scourge's name. The statement that inspired it about Clan cats being a "scourge on the name of good cats" is actually referring to Clan cats ruling tyrannically over other cats, with the word for tyranny, skurss, sounding enough like the English "Scourge" that the imaginary translator went with it. Similarly, turtles are not found in the mountains so Turtle Heart's name really refers to the cats' word for tortoiseshell. Hollyleaf's name in the Clans' language is Waskruss, and over time she forgets her name, confusing it with her mocking nickname of Wurru'ss'a ("mistake leaves") and ending up with Wowar russ'a, the word for leaf litter that literally means "under leaves". This gets translated as Fallen Leaves or Fallenleaf.

Here, it leads to him outright trying to make sure the prophecies come true, even if it means other cats suffering and dying, because he feels doing anything else will lead to worse pain. Bluestar being betrayed by Tigerclaw makes her believe that, no matter what she does, the ideology represented by Thistleclaw and Tigerclaw will not disappear, and StarClan wants it to succeed. This only gets worse with further incidents like the forest fire and Snowsuit's death. Hollyleaf gets several of them, such as Heathertail seemingly telling Onestar about the tunnels to allow his invasion and finding out her true parentage, which cause her to be more revenge-minded as she sees her attempts at diplomacy fail. Stormfur has two, his father Graystripe choosing ThunderClan over him and his sister and getting exiled, and the cruelty and persecution he and his family face for being half-Clan under TigerClan.

Another story has Snake Claw kill all the snakes but realize that, without snakes, prey fearlessly hide in their burrows and can't be caught. He begs StarClan to bring the snakes back but has to re-create them himself, and they ended up being not quite the same as the original, which is why snakes are "worms" but have scales, grass snakes have no venom, slowworms' tails can fall off, some adders are green.

Better Bones AU (Blog) / int_6b8b122b	comment	The Good, the Bad, and the Evil: Done with the three political factions of the Clans. Fire Alone is the "good" ideology which treats outsiders with respect and is willing to change some of the harsher practices of the Clans that lead to constant battles and xenophobia. Thistle Law is the clearly "evil" ideology, accentuating normal Clan obsession with war and discrimination against outsiders, rejecting some of the more merciful parts of the Code like the Queens' Rights and being the cause of much violence and tragedy throughout the series. Traditionalism represents the "bad" middle ground, still seeing Clan loyalty and Code-following as important in a way that has led to much violence and destruction in itself, but respecting softer parts of the Code and not going as far in its violence as Thistle Law. This dynamic is embodied by the Traditionalist Mistystar, who is responsible for cruel actions of her own in enforcing the Code when the Imposter is in power in the rewritten The Broken Code, but nonetheless recognizes Thistle Law as the enemy and does everything she can to root it out. Sone in the rewritten Dawn of the Clans; Clear Sky is a clear villain, Tall Shadow opposes him for abandoning Thunder Storm and starts her own group in protest but isn't too different with how she refuses to let Bumble stay in the group, and Thunder Storm leads the clearly heroic faction which protests both of them.

For instance, while the other Clans see scars as desirable traits and will often rename cats after their injuries to emphasize how tough they are for surviving, SkyClan cats are neutral about scars and think it's rude to name a cat like that, leading to the scarred cats from other clans thinking they are being insulted for their names. Tawnypelt, having grown up in ThunderClan, sometimes has trouble understanding ShadowClan cats' dark sense of humor and takes it as aggression towards her.

Better Bones AU (Blog) / int_72ce3f54	comment	Adaptation Relationship Overhaul: Bluestar and Oakheart now know each other better before Bluestar ends up carrying Oakheart's kits, being part of the forget-me-nots friend group which also includes several other cats (Lizardstripe, Ashfoot, Deadfoot and Barley) that were never shown to be close with either in canon. Canon Runningnose doesn't like Brokenstar's leadership and seems to care about Nightstar, being grieved by his death. Here, he is very close to Brokenstar and hates Nightstar for overthrowing him, eventually even getting Nightstar killed by purposefully starting an epidemic. In canon, Longtail assists Brightheart as a temporary mentor to Jayfeather, who hates being saddled with the cats with similar disabilities to him, and Jayfeather switches to being a cleric too quickly for their relationship to change. Here, Jayfeather trains under Longtail for his whole apprenticeship, and while he initially has a disgruntled reaction as in canon they grow very close to each other over time, and Brightheart is not involved. Instead, Brightheart mentors Ivypool, and the two develop a close mentor-apprentice relationship they didn't have in canon. Leafpool and Crowfeather still run away together, but Leafpool isn't obsessed with Crowfeather after their breakup as she is in canon, and never tries to name her kit after him (instead Crowfeater is the obessed one). Rockshade is now Sharpclaw's apprentice instead of Cherrytail. Goldenflower is now Squirrelflight's mentor instead of Dustpelt. Thrushpelt is Redtail's mentor in the rewrite. Redtail himself no longer mentors Mousefur. Thornclaw doesn't get any new apprentices after Spiderleg due to participating in Mouser's stunt of calling a Clan meeting complaining about outsiders being accepted into ThunderClan. Ferncloud is Poppyfrost's mentor instead, and Honeysnake (Honeyfern), who survived being bitten by the adder that killed her in canon, mentors Briarlight, the kit she got injured trying to rescue. Mistystar doesn't remain forgiving of Leopardstar forever as in canon and believing that everything will blow over if she follows the code, eventually turning against her when experience shows her Thistle Law isn't just going to go away and Leopardstar isn't going to change. Lionblaze doesn't hold a grudge against Squirrelflight for lying about his parentage and is consistently her biggest supporter. Needletail and Alderheart aren't as close as they are in canon, being less friends and more allies who both agree it was wrong to separate Violetkit and Twigkit and thus conspire to have the two meet with each other. While in canon Breezepelt and his unknown siblings Lionblaze, Hollyleaf and Jayfeather never liked each other, with Breezepelt always serving as a rival to them, in the BB AU he is close to the three, especially Lionblaze, before The Reveal leads him to dramatically turn against them. Briarlight in canon is not really seen much outside of the medicine den and is never shown to have any friends besides Jayfeather, the cleric who treats her. Here she is very popular and is friends with, and spends a lot of time with, Lionblaze and Hazeltail.

Better Bones AU (Blog) / int_730d3664	type	Adaptational Angst Upgrade
Better Bones AU (Blog) / int_730d3664	comment	Adaptational Angst Upgrade: Reedwhisker in canon is a minor character whose Clan doesn't have a POV, so the narrative doesn't focus on how he feels about his mother being persecuted for being half-Clan and his uncle getting killed as a result, or all his siblings dying (two of these deaths are attributed to Tigerstar here). In the rewrite, Reedwhisker struggles with the trauma of these events, and it's made worse by how many cats in RiverClan still discriminate against and bully him, including his mentor. This is the reason for him being made a warrior so late, while in canon it's just a continuity error. He also gets angst over being captured by Darktail and horribly treated, since he blames himself for eventually swearing loyalty to him rather than being Defiant to the End like Stonefur. To go along with the Feathertail angst downgrade, her brother Stormfur takes her role as cynical and distrusting in The Tiger in RiverClan rather than being happy-go-lucky and unaffected by his trauma, again to fit his characterization in The New Prophecy. Both Stormfur and Feathertail take Graystripe being exiled due to choosing Firestar over his Clan harder and aren't entirely forgiving of Graystripe for it, in particular it contributes to Stormfur's trust issues that the events of TigerClan also added to.

Better Bones AU (Blog) / int_736d791f	type	Adaptational Badass
Better Bones AU (Blog) / int_736d791f	comment	Adaptational Badass: The Tribe as a whole is a lot tougher and more capable of handling itself than in canon. Sharptooth is the incarnation of a god, One-Eye who has supernatural power in addition to his physical size being huge, yet the Tribe has killed different incarnations of One-Eye several times in the past and would have been able to do it again if they needed to, though with more death and suffering than they would have had with the journeying cats' help. Nonetheless they still aren't quite as good at fighting at the Clans, so they willingly ask for help to drive out the rogues in Power of Three, knowing that they wouldn't be at risk of total destruction if they did it alone like in canon but having their allies to help would make it easier and have fewer casualties. The Clan cats are very surprised anyone would ask for help they don't absolutely need for their survival rather than go it alone and not admit weakness. Jayfeather is now a fully trained warrior before he becomes a cleric (medicine cat), giving him a skill in fighting that he even uses to fight a StarClan cat to save Hazeltail. A downplayed example with Deadfoot, who was always a warrior capable of fighting, but here it's noted that he's evenly matched with Leopardfur in their battle in the rewritten Fire and Ice, in part due to his skillful use of his foot gauntlet. Shadowsight gets to play a big role in defeating Ashfur rather than just needing to be rescued in the final confrontation. Rosetail gets to do a lot more damage to Blackfoot before he kills her. Stormcloud's fighting skill was never noted in canon, but here he is a great fighter who cats also think s impressive for surviving being hit by a car while he was a kittypet and having a large surgical scar as a result. Done with some of the female cast of ThunderClan during The Prophecies Begin, who in canon were (besides Bluestar and Yellowfang) mostly background characters defined by being mothers while the male warriors had more "badass" moments. Speckletail, for instance goes from a background character who is never noted for any sort of capability to being one of ThunderClan's most formidable warriors who dies taking out a bulldozer. Similarly, Frostfur is now a powerful warrior covered in scars. Neither Thrushpelt nor Moonflower was ever noted for their fighting skills in canon. Here, they were both the best fighters in ThunderClan in their time, which contributes to Bluestar's determination to not let Thistleclaw lead their Clan; he would throw Thrushpelt into battle for his strength and likely lead to him getting killed, just as what happened to Moonflower for the same reasons. Nightcloud in canon is only seen fighting once, where she loses to Squirrelflight (who is never shown to be a particularly strong fighter). In the Better Bones AU, she is one of the strongest fighters in WindClan along with Willowclaw. All of the Clans besides ThunderClan get this in general. ThunderClan no longer wins all of their battles or has all of the cats shown in the narrative to bed the best fighters; every Clan strongly values prowess in battle so every Clan has strong fighters.

Better Bones AU (Blog) / int_82a64c4b	comment	Adaptational Nice Guy: Jayfeather isn't exactly nice but he isn't as pointlessly mean as in canon, and he is rebellious against StarClan even into the later arcs rather than cruelly enforcing the status quo on others. Moth Flight never criticizes Leafpool and tries to send her to the Dark Forest for breaking the rule she made, in addition to having a more sympathetic reason for making that rule. While Crowfeather can still be a bit rude and hard to get along with, he isn't quite as constantly hostile to the other journeying cats so that he actually gets along with the other five eventually, not just Feathertail.

There's also the calm and tactical Harestar contrasted with the angry and passionate Breezepelt, with both being two-thirds of the Harestar/Breezepelt/Heathertail childhood friendship turned polycule. Rowanstar, who tends to follow his heart, is the red oni to his deputy's (the more logical Crowfrost) blue oni. As another leader-deputy pair, the warm, silly and cheerful deputy Sedgecreek is the red oni to the stern and serious blue oni of her leader Mistystar. Mistystar's brother Swansong is also the red oni to her, with him being open and friendly and following his passion rather than having any tact or diplomacy.

In addition, since Bright Stream is merged with Storm and does not die when either of those two characters do in canon, he no longer has the grief for his mate's death motivating his abandonment of his son Thunder Storm, instead being motivated by his ableism (Thunder Storm being born missing a leg) and desire to defy the supernatural forces that are seemingly trying to send him a message about his cruelty. Also, the famine he went through is no longer caused by overpopulation, so he has less of an argument for his social darwinist policies being a necessary evil to prevent more starvation.

Jayfeather and Poppyfrost are a non-Adaptational Sexuality example, though Poppyfrost still ultimately ends up with Berrynose after giving birth to Jayfeather's kits, as are a gender-flipped Sandynose's mate being Egg instead of Plumwillow, and Rainwhisker and Swallowtail actually getting together and having kits rather than just having Ship Tease that goes nowhere.

This is not helped by how Nightcloud was a participant in the aforementioned rebellion, even though she is trying to atone for it. This changes when Hollyleaf reveals her and her siblings as Crowfeather and Leafpool's siblings at a gathering, and Crowfeather declares he still loves Leafpool and doesn't regret any of this; the scandal causes Onestar to strip him of his name and exile him and the Clan's opinion turns more against him and toward Nightcloud.

Hawkfrost realizes he would never do this with Mothwing, a realization that helps trigger his Heelâ€“Face Turn. Graystripe favors Feathertail and Stormfur over his kits with Millie despite the former two being respectively dead and living far away, alienating his younger children with how he is always comparing them to his older kits. Clear Sky favors Thunder Storm over his younger children Pale Sky and Tiger Sky, due to him being larger and more charismatic. When he has a later litter, although he claims not to, he clearly names them in reference to the estranged Thunder Storm (as Lightning Sky and Rumble Sky), and his other kit who is dead doesn't get either named after her.

In the rewrite, Reedwhisker struggles with the trauma of these events, and it's made worse by how many cats in RiverClan still discriminate against and bully him, including his mentor. This is the reason for him being made a warrior so late, while in canon it's just a continuity error. He also gets angst over being captured by Darktail and horribly treated, since he blames himself for eventually swearing loyalty to him rather than being Defiant to the End like Stonefur.

Better Bones AU (Blog) / int_970c790a	comment	Although A Starless Clan hasn't been rewritten since isn't scheduled to be finished until late 2024, an explanation for why Nightheart's stressed out about his legacy is already set up. In canon, Nightheart feeling pressured to live up to Firestar's legacy comes off as strange considering that half his Clan is descended from Firestar by that point and most of them do nothing significant with their life. The rewrite severely reduces the amount of Firestar descendants by making Alderheart, Sparkpelt, Sorrelstripe, and Spotfur (and any descnedents of theirs by extension) no longer related to him. Furthermore, the majority of the cats that are still descended from Firestar in the rewrite have performed extraordinary feats,Who and what?Squirrelflight is Clan deputy, Leafpool discovered the Moonpool, Jayfeather is a cleric who summoned StarClan, Lionblaze is a legendary fighter, Dovewing played a great role in stopping the Dark Forest, Hollyleaf is the vessel of a god, Ivypool was a Light in the Mist, Bristlefrost sacrificed her afterlife to kill the Big Bad of The Broken Code with terrifying powers, Thriftear is a prodigy warrior, and Finchlight played a crucial role in the rebellion against the tyrannical Ashfur. to the point where the exceptions can be counted on one hand: Hollylark died young, Snaptooth and Flywhisker left to become kittypets, and Flipclaw hasn't done much of note.

Better Bones AU (Blog) / int_9a032f08	comment	Giver of Lame Names: Bramblestar is considered a bad namer of warriors In-Universe for giving names where, despite fitting the cat in question, the combination of prefix and suffix sound weird. Blossomfall's litter is considered some of the worst in terms of naming: Stemleaf implies a plant where a leaf serves as the stem, Plumstone doesn't use the same word used for an actual plum stone (the nut in the center of the plum) and just seems to oddly imply something like a plum made of stone or a stone that looks like a plum, and Shellfur oddly pairs a prefix supposed to convey strength and toughness in structure with a suffix that focuses on the beauty and texture of his fur. Ivypool's suffix gets some flak, though not as much as some of the others, due to the "passive-sounding" suffix not fitting her personality and it oddly referencing her controversial biological grandmother Leafpool's honor title. Everyone is also very disappointed that he doesn't give Stormcloud a cool honor title referencing the scars he got from surviving being hit by a car, while Mousewhisker's dishonor title of Stupidhead just sounds funny instead of properly punishing. One of the signs that he is being possessed by Ashfur is that the impostor is actually good at naming with his dishonor titles.

This Brokenstar still does all the horrible things the canon one does but is shown to not be inherently that way and is more an extreme product of the Clans' battle-focused culture, where in response to a war that WindClan started he feels he has to retaliate and win the war or all the death and suffering of the war would be for nothing. He kills Raggedstar after serving him loyally for years because he fears Raggedstar making peace would make the war for nothing, rather than killing him immediately because Ambition Is Evil. He later gets to become the benevolent guardian of SkyClan after his death when Firestar takes his spirit along on the quest to rebuild it.

Better Bones AU (Blog) / int_a65288e2	comment	Ascended Extra: Cloudberry, Ryewhisker, Morningstar, and Ripplestar are all characters who only appear in one short story in Code of the Clans or Battles of the Clans in canon. Here they are regulars in the Dark Forest cast and Ripplestar gets his own Super Edition. Gorseclaw and Spottedpelt only appear in canon as kits brought into ThunderClan and to be mentioned as ancestors of Tigerstar and Spottedleaf, but in the rewrite they play major roles in Ripplestar's Rot as Ripplestar's adopted siblings. Darkstar in canon is just a RiverClan leader who briefly appears in Mapleshade's Vengeance to not take Mapleshade in, but in the rewrite she is the creator of the queen's rights and the kit protection law, gaining a book from her perspective that details how she created these laws to make up for the injustice done to Mapleshade. Bumble in canon just exists to be a plot point showing Tall Shadow's leadership difficulties and then get killed, but in this rewrite she doesn't die and has an important role as the resident Cunning Linguist, knowing the languages of the park cats, Tribe cats and town cats, and gets to be a god of language in StarClan after her death. A variant with Heathertail, Breezepelt, Ivypool and Cloudtail, where all of these cats were important characters but later Demoted to Extra in canon, but here they remain relevant in later arcs (A Vision of Shadows for the first two and The Broken Code for the last two). Marshkit, now Marshwing, goes from a random kit on the Great Journey who dies to a recurring character who is one of ShadowClan's most respected warriors. Lizardstripe, Deadfoot and Ashfoot are minor characters in canon, with Lizardstripe just existing to be an abusive mother to Brokenstar and the last two just being deputies with little focus. Here they get extra attention by being part of Bluestar's forget-me-not friend group. Reedwhisker is very little focused on in canon despite being his Clan's deputy, but here he gets much more depth as a character and gets focus as a POV character in The Tiger in RiverClan, the rewrite of A Shadow in RiverClan. Harelight gets more focus in The Broken Code with regards to his exile and his siblings' deaths. Graystripe gets the opposite treatment in The Broken Code, but he noticeably isn't so Demoted to Extra in Omen of the Stars that he goes unmentioned in the subplot involving drama with his mate Millie and kits Briarlight and Blossomfall. Dragonfly goes from appearing only on one bonus chapter to being a major supporting character who supports Violetshine in the Kin and later becomes her mate. Shattered Frost (Shattered Ice) gets an expanded role as an inventor and loyal member of ShadowClan. Deerfoot and Tangleburr are very minor characters in canon but here get more focus, in particular with regards to their differing allegiances in ShadowClan's politics. Sedgecreek doesn't even appear in the main series in canon, but here she gets to be Mistystar's first deputy and gets a subplot involving conflict between her and her mate Greenflower. The female ThunderClan warriors of The Prophecies Begin, who in canon were largely out of focus compared to their male counterparts, get expanded roles. Frostfur is an ally of Firestar's who has to reckon with Tigerstar's ideology after he was exiled, Goldenflower is a former supporter of Tigerstar who quickly changes tune after his exile and tries to get others to do the same, and Dappletail, as the Clan educator, has an expanded role as Firestar's original teacher, who teaches him how to speak Clanmew when he previously just knew Townmew. Firestar has more friends from other Clans who show up in the aftergatherings, many who were cats who got next to no focus in the canon books like Wetfoot, Mosspelt, and Cinderfur (though the latter stops attending the meetings as the political situation gets more tense).

Thunder Storm accompanies him to try to save his life but he dies anyway. Marshwing and Applefur, the latter who is a Dark Forest trainee, fight during the Great Battle and both kill each other.

He is also a poor parent to Sparkpelt and Alderheart.

One-eye is significantly older than in canon to match with her early portrayal as the oldest cat in ThunderClan.

Better Bones AU (Blog) / int_b7920c43	type	Lost in Translation
Better Bones AU (Blog) / int_b7920c43	comment	Lost in Translation: Several In-Universe examples. Iceheart's name has more meaning in the Clans' language, with the prefix being the past tense of frozen, and the suffix being the future tense of heartbeat - i.e his heart was frozen but it continues to beat as he continues to live. Similarly, Harespring's name uses the future tense of the word for "spring", giving the connotation that the hare is about to leap but is waiting for the right moment, showing his cautious personality. Onestar's name is hard to translate without knowledge of the Clans' fractional number system. It refers to a whole fraction and in the Clans' communal society carries the connotation of loneliness, completeness, and full moons. Heatherstar and Heathertail don't actually have the same prefix in the Clan cats' language, with Heatherstar's referring to common heather and Heathertail's to bell heather. Hallowflight's honor title in clanmew uses the prefix "shahaf", which means "holy" but also has the double meaning of "healing", giving a sense that his flight redeemed him for being a Dark Forest trainee. Skywatcher's clanmew name doesn't just refer to watching but to sitting vigil like a new warrior does, referencing how he kept the memory of SkyClan alive. Mapleshade's name doesn't just refer to the shade created by a single tree but the understory in general, and the prefix actually more accurately refers to a sycamore. Mistystar's name specifically refers to the dewy mist in the morning. It references how this mist was present when Oakheart first took the kits from Bluestar. Ferncloud's suffix specifically refers to a fast-moving cloud, referencing how fast she ran when luring the dogs to the gorge. Finchlight's name refers to a thistle-eating finch and then refers to glowing like fire, alluding to her being expected to advocate for Fire Alone and destroy Thistle Law. Dead Moths Pelt actually has a name that refers to him saving a bunch of pelts by killing the moths inside before they laid eggs, with a meaning more like "Killed the moths to save the pelts", but this is hard to translate into a three word title. A lot of the dishonor titles have meanings that are hard to translate. Spiderleg's dishonor title, Spiderbite, invokes cannibalism, specifically animals eating their young, to reference him nearly killing his own son. Mousewhisker being Stupidhead, also translatable as Mousebrain, is a pun that refers to him having the brain of dead prey eaten as food as opposed to his normal name which refers to a living mouse. Blossomfall's is translated as Shredbloom but specifically refers to a bud plucked before it blooms into a fruit. Sunstrike's, translated as Brokensun, really means something like "sun-quenched". Furzepelt's is to Fleapelt, which actually means something like "fleas hide in me".

Better Bones AU (Blog) / int_b7fa9b36	type	Adaptational Explanation
Better Bones AU (Blog) / int_b7fa9b36	comment	Adaptational Explanation: In canon, Squirrelflight and Leafpool leave ThunderClan so they can pass off Leafpool's kits as Squirrelflight's, with it never being explained why no one is suspicious of this even though no other cat ever left the Clan to give birth, or how no one noticed Leafpool is pregnant and Squirrelflight isn't. Here, no one notices the pregnancy situation because they leave too early for it to be obvious in Leafpool, while Squirrelflight actually is pregnant but miscarries due to being infertile. In addition, they have an excuse for why they left; they claim to be on a mission from StarClan, with Shrewpaw helpfully intervening from StarClan to provide them a rare plant, which they claim finding was the purpose of their mission. The canon Dark Forest throws their trainees Ivypool and Antpelt into a fight to the death despite the fact that Antpelt could be (and is) killed Deader than Dead, thus making them lose a loyal ally, for no apparent other reason besides that it's evil. Here, Dark Forest cats regenerate when they are killed by each other, and they simply didn't know that this would not happen if a living cat killed a Dark Forest cat. In canon, there is no explanation for how Dark Forest and StarClan cats are able to enter the living world and physically fight living cats during the Great Battle, but are never capable of helping out in battle at any other time. In the rewrite, they are only capable of doing it during the day of an eclipse, which happens during the Great Battle. It is never made clear in canon whether Mudclaw's death was a result of StarClan killing him or a very convenient coincidence, and if it was StarClan causing it, why they aren't capable of doing it in other cases like with Tigerstar. In this rewrite his death is explicitly a Bolt of Divine Retribution from StarClan, and StarClan doesn't kill cats intentionally but does so as a result of Power Incontinence from strong collective emotion of many cats, so they can't just do it to anyone. Although A Starless Clan hasn't been rewritten since isn't scheduled to be finished until late 2024, an explanation for why Nightheart's stressed out about his legacy is already set up. In canon, Nightheart feeling pressured to live up to Firestar's legacy comes off as strange considering that half his Clan is descended from Firestar by that point and most of them do nothing significant with their life. The rewrite severely reduces the amount of Firestar descendants by making Alderheart, Sparkpelt, Sorrelstripe, and Spotfur (and any descnedents of theirs by extension) no longer related to him. Furthermore, the majority of the cats that are still descended from Firestar in the rewrite have performed extraordinary feats,Who and what?Squirrelflight is Clan deputy, Leafpool discovered the Moonpool, Jayfeather is a cleric who summoned StarClan, Lionblaze is a legendary fighter, Dovewing played a great role in stopping the Dark Forest, Hollyleaf is the vessel of a god, Ivypool was a Light in the Mist, Bristlefrost sacrificed her afterlife to kill the Big Bad of The Broken Code with terrifying powers, Thriftear is a prodigy warrior, and Finchlight played a crucial role in the rebellion against the tyrannical Ashfur. to the point where the exceptions can be counted on one hand: Hollylark died young, Snaptooth and Flywhisker left to become kittypets, and Flipclaw hasn't done much of note.

Alderheart and Twigbranch no longer get POVs, or even POVs focusing on their Clan, in A Vision of Shadows, making them much more minor characters (though Alderheart still gets focus in a book focusing on Bramblestar's second family with Jessy). While Bristlefrost is still important to the story of The Broken Code and is the one to ultimately kill Ashfur, she doesn't get a POV and her story of initially following the impostor and switching sides is given to Ivypool. Graystripe remains an important character in the earlier arcs but his important roles in The Broken Code and his super edition are taken by Cloudtail and Ferncloud. Averted with a lot of cats, with the rewrite trying to allow older cats to have their spotlight rather than not doing anything despite being in the Clan. For example Ivypool and Cloudtail both have major roles in The Broken Code despite being faceless extras in canon, and Heathertail is a POV character in A Vision of Shadows rather than fading into the background.

This, in addition to the suspicious circumstances of him being denied succession in favor of Onewhisker, helps motivate his rebellion. However, it turns out the prophecy referred to Mudclaw's children Harespring, Kestrelflight, and Owlclaw, with Harespring becoming the leader (Harestar) after Onestar and Kestrelflight becoming the next cleric.

And Runningnose, of course, as in canon, who is named by Yellowfang because she doesn't like having him forced on her as her apprentice, as she (correctly) distrusts him with poisons and spiritual secrets.

Better Bones AU (Blog) / int_c181a846	comment	Dies Differently in Adaptation: Firestar dies earlier than in canon, being killed by Breezepelt near the end of Power of Three or the beginning of Omen of the Stars. Leopardstar is now killed by Mistystar shortly after the end of The New Prophecy, considerably before she dies in canon. Crookedstar dies by being poisoned by Leopardstar instead of succumbing to greencough. Scourge is not killed by Firestar at the end of The Prophecies Begin, joining ThunderClan and dying much later in the great battle against the Dark Forest, killed by Tigerstar's spirit. Bristlefrost's spirit still dies by killing Ashfur and herself, but here this is her second death, with her already have died previously when she was publicly executed by Ashfur for her relationship with Rootspring. In addition, her second death is no longer caused by pushing both of them into the dark water but pushing them both "out of the heavens", with them both spectacularly burning up like a comet and crashing to the ground. It is no longer possible until the end of The Broken Code for a leader to renounce their lives, so to allow Tigerheart to be revived Rowanclaw drowns himself in the Moonpool until he loses all of his lives. None of the elders are left behind in The New Prophecy, and most die later in the story. Speckletail still dies in the destruction of the forest, attacking a bulldozer to try to stop it from destroying the forest. Goldenflower survives well into Power of Three. Gray Wing dies far earlier than in canon, being trampled by a horse while protecting Shaded Flower (who in his original name of Shaded Moss died at the same point) during the Sun Trail journey. Shaded Flower, meanwhile, survives until the first battle where Clear Sky kills him in place of Rainswept Flower. Toadstep is killed by Spiderleg in the Great Battle rather than dying of greencough shortly afterward. Willowpelt dies in The New Prophecy, later than in canon where she died between The Prophecies Begin and The New Prophecy. Snowkit no longer dies because he is deaf and thus didn't hear the hawk that kills him coming - he runs for cover with the other kits, and pushes Tawnykit out of the way to save her before being taken by the hawk himself. Dustpelt dies in the battle against the Dark Forest instead of being killed by a badger later on. Sharpclaw, rather than being killed by Darktail, sides with Darktail and is killed by Brokenstar's tree purposefully falling on him and other Darktail supporters. Rainwhisker dies in the WindClan civil war in the rewritten The New Prophecy rather than being Killed Offscreen between The New Prophecy and Power of Three by a fallen tree branch. Instead of dying in the Great Battle, Ferncloud survives to later take Graystripe's role of being a Light in the Mist and being killed by Ashfur there. Robinwing from RiverClan dies as an apprentice instead of surviving to die in the Great Battle. Briarlight doesn't die of illness in A Vision of Shadows but instead is killed by Ashfur for her rebellion against him during The Broken Code. Swankit, Graypool's kit who is only named by Word of God, dies as a kit in canon but her survives to become a warrior, Swansong, and dies in the Great Battle agains the Dark Forest. Elderkit, Ashfur and Ferncloud's sister who dies as a kit in canon and is only named by Word of God, does not die here and becomes a warrior, Elderberry, eventually being killed saving Fury from the boar she had set up to kill Claw in the flashback sections of Ferncloud's Parting (the reworked version of Graystripe's Vow). Cricketkit, a kit also only named by Word of God, survives to become the warrior Cricketclaw, and remains Dappletail's kit but is now also Darkstripe's littermate, and ends up dying in the rewritten The New Prophecy. Brushpaw is not killed in battle by ShadowClan as an apprentice but instead lives to become a warrior, Brushblaze, and dies in the rewritten A Vision of Shadows when he purposefully collapses the tunnel Breezepelt and Heathertail are using to escape with the Kin cats slated to be executed so they can't be followed. Honeyfern still gets attacked by a snake, but she survives to die later during the Great Battle against the Dark Forest. Clear Sky/Skystar dies in canon saving Thunder's kits from a dog. Here, he dies in a battle which SkyClan wins, cementing his reputation as a hero to the new battle culture that values dying for one's Clan and glory. Tigerheart/Heartstar's original death is different here; in canon, he dies saving a kit from a random owl; here, to avoid the plot being too based on random events, she is killed in an attempt to rescue the ShadowClan kits kept with the Kin. In both cases, they are revived as a leader with eight more lives, so the death doesn't stick. Petal Claw (Petal from Dawn of the Clans) dies in battle as opposed to dying of a sickness in canon.

This becomes a problem for Rowanstar/claw when he has retired and disbanded his Clan but can't get rid of his lives, and as long as he's alive his daughter and deputy Tigerheart can't get nine lives. After Tigerheart's death, Rowanstar takes her to the moonpool and drowns himself there, as long as it takes to get rid of all of his lives, so Tigerheart will be able to be revived to get her nine lives.

Hillrunner's trauma over the WindClan massacre and the following battles leads her to have a very short fuse, and she sometimes takes her anger out on her children Nightcloud and Tawnyfur.

Better Bones AU (Blog) / int_ca69cb4d	comment	Adaptational Karma: Leopardstar, rather than living out her life until she dies of natural causes while being fully supported by Mistyfoot, is now killed by Mistyfoot when she realizes Leopardstar's ideology won't die unless she does. Rainflower is socially shunned by the rest of RiverClan for her treatment of Crookedstar rather than her actions being mostly ignored. Billystorm is Easily Forgiven by Leafstar and doesn't suffer any consequences for taking their kits away to be raised as kittypets without her permission in canon. In the rewrite, the incident leads to him inadvertently letting Stormkit get sacrificed by Harry. In terms of Dark Forest placements, StarClan is now harsher and no longer lets all but the worst mass murderers in, or anyone who is doing things for the sake of their Clan instead of for ambition. Leopardstar and Mudclaw end up in the Dark Forest, for example, as do Mudclaw's supporters who died on the same day as him like Nightwing. Appledusk, Frecklewish, and Ravenwing also end up there, though out of an impulsive judgment made in anger. Needletail ends up in the Dark Forest as well, though for her it isn't much of a punishment; while she is sentenced there for her genuine crimes, she would have rather ended up there than StarClan anyway.

Happypaw (later Happyface) is the oldest of the [ShadowClan] apprentice rebels in A Vision of Shadows, being old enough to be a warrior but held back for defying orders. Reedwhisker spends an inordinately long time as an apprentice due to a combination of his anxiety and trauma over what happened in TigerClan making him struggle and his mentor, Skyheart, being prejudiced against him for his ancestry and deliberately looking for excuses for him to fail his assessments.

Better Bones AU (Blog) / int_dc057cf3	type	Adaptation Name Change
Better Bones AU (Blog) / int_dc057cf3	comment	Adaptation Name Change: One that is not a cat but a in-universe term, medicine cats are now called clerics to avoid being an insensitive parody of certain indigenous cultures' medicine men. The horrible name that Bluestar gives Brightpaw is no longer Lostface but Swifthound, reflecting how being named after injuries is considered honorable in the clan's battle-focused culture, and the shamefulness of the name comes from the reminder of her friend's death due to their foolishness. Tornear is now Torear (a tor is a small rocky outcrop seen on moorlands). Hickorynose is now Chicorynose due to hickory trees not existing in northern England, which is defined here as the setting of the books (as opposed to canon which is full of Misplaced Wildlife). Hollyleaf changes her name to Fallenleaf after emerging from her century trapped in the tunnels and taking her body back from Sol, reflecting her position as a Composite Character with Fallen Leaves. Similarly, Hollytuft and Larksong are fused into a Composite Character named Hollylark to reflect the change. The cats of Dawn of the Clans now have a name scheme using last names, where the second part of their name is inherited from one of their parents. To keep this consistent, Quiet Rain is now Quiet Wing so as to give her name to Gray Wing, Fluttering Bird is now Fluttering Wing, and Quiet Rain's second mate Stone Song is now Stone Peak to give his name to Jagged Peak (Clear Sky's father is an unnamed cat who died before the arc starts). Thunder is now Thunder Storm after his mother, who is named Bright Storm as a composite character between Bright Stream and Storm. Silver Stripe and White Tail are now Sun Shadow's kits so they are now Silver Shadow and White Shadow. Lightning Tail is now Lightning Cry after his father, likewise Falling Feather is Falling Cry to match with her brother. Shaded Moss is now Shaded Flower to match with his daughter. Acorn Fur is now Acorn Swoop to match with Hawk Swoop. Turtle Tail, Dappled Pelt, and Sparrow Fur are now Turtle Heart, Dappled Heart and Sparrow Heart to match with Pebble Heart (Owl Eyes starts out as Owl Heart but gains his name as an honor title from learning to hunt from an owl). This also applies to cats who in canon were outsiders to the Tribe and thus did not have their naming system, but in the BB AU are Tribe cats. For instance, Frost is now Sunlit Frost (with Shattered Ice, who is Related in the Adaptation to him, thus being renamed Shattered Frost), and Petal, Fox, Snake, Alder and Birch are not in the same family as Red Claw so they all get Claw at the end of their names. The last name system is preserved in the Tribe, and they have changes to their full names to reflect this. Brook Where Small Fish Swim is now Brook Where-it-Swirls, and Crag Where Eagles Nest is in turn Crag Where-It-Swirls. The cast of Riverstar's Heir, all originally cats with typical Clan names from Code of the Clans, have their names changed to reflect how the story takes place before these name traditions had evolved, to two-word Tribe like names (Maplewhisker to Maple Whisker), to Wind Coalition names (Jumpfoot to Jumping Foot) or to River kingdom names (Flowerstem to Flowers Came First, Mothpelt to Dead Moths Pelt, Mossfire to Mossfire Alight). Stumpytail is changed to Stumptail (referring to a tree stump), as he was born with his short tail and would thus not get an honor title for it. Since Sorreltail no longer died in the Great Battle but Dustpelt did, Dead Guy Junior Sorrelstripe is now named Duststripe. Bluestar starts out as Bluefur as in canon, but later gets the honor title of Bluemoon. Honeyfern starts out with her canon warrior name, but gets the honor title of Honeysnake after surviving the adder bite that killed her in canon. Hollowflight is now Hallowflight, with the name being an honor title rather than his original name. Several names get changed due to One-Steve Limit - Tigerheart's leader name is now Heartstar, Cloudberry (the ThunderClan cleric who preceded Goosefeather) is Cloudbelly, Frecklewish (the SkyClan cleric) is Frecklewing, Rainfur (the SkyClan warrior) is Rainbloom, Mudclaw (Lizardstripe's mate in ShadowClan) is now Mudfoot, Applefur from Tigerclaw's Fury is now Appledapple, Darkstar (the originator of the "leader's word is the Code" law is now Dalestar, Molewhisker from Code of the Clans is now Moletooth, Snaketooth from Code of the Clans is now Snakestream, Shimmerpelt the modern-day warrior is now Shimmerbright, Shadepelt who first appears in A Vision of Shadows is now Shademuzzle, Emberdawn from Leopardstar's Honor is now Emberdusk, Mintfur from RiverClan is now Mintflower, the modern ShadowClan Flowerstem is now Flowerscar, Seedpelt from Mapleshade's Vengeance is now Seedwhisker, Seedpelt from Pinestar's Choice is now Seedfall, the ThunderClan, and ThunderClan Beechfur is now Beechfeather. Smokefoot is now named Smokefall to reflect him being a composite character with Smokepaw, who here survived his fall during the Great Journey.

A Vision of Shadows alternates between Breezepelt, Heathertail and Needletail, until Needletail dies and she gets replaced with Violetshine. Ivypool is now a POV character for The Broken Code instead of Bristlefrost, though Shadowsight still gets a POV. This is also done with some of the Super Editions that only had one POV character in canon; Heartstar's Rise, the rewrite of Tigerheart's Shadow, is split between Tigerheart and Dovewing, and the Graystripe's Vow rewrite is split between Cloudtail and Ferncloud.

Better Bones AU (Blog) / int_e4157ffd	type	May It Never Happen Again
Better Bones AU (Blog) / int_e4157ffd	comment	May It Never Happen Again: Darkstar's Commandment follows up Mapleshade's Vengeance and centers Darktail creating the law of the code protecting kits regardless of origin to stop the exile and deaths of Mapleshade and her innocent kits ever happening again, as well as the Queen's Rights so no cat will be forced to reveal the biological parentage of their children, leading to them being punished for it, in the first place. The law requiring the Clans to help each other against a greater threat, created as in canon at the end of A Vision of Shadows, is contextualized here as being a response to how the Clans refusing to work together made Darktail and the Kin, which could have been a minor threat, into a great danger. Unlike in canon, the law is added when ShadowClan has dissolved, in memory of them (before Tigerheart returns to revive it). As in canon, the rewritten The Broken Code ends with a law allowing the deposing of leaders with a Clan supermajority vote, and a law allowing a cat to switch allegiances to join their lover from a different Clan, but unlike in canon the latter is specifically a response to Bristlefrost's execution on account of her relationship with Rootspring in addition to her later Heroic Sacrifice from the afterlife.

Better Bones AU (Blog) / int_e6a901a3	type	Meaningful Rename
Better Bones AU (Blog) / int_e6a901a3	comment	Meaningful Rename: Besides the typical changes from kit to apprentice to warrior to leader, there are also name changes made by a cat who joins the Clans and, more commonly, honor titles which are given for some achievement or surviving a serious injury. Scourge chooses to change his name to a Clan name, Iceheart, when he joins ThunderClan, to show his respect for the Clans' culture. He disapproves of cats like Millie who join ThunderClan but choose not to change their names. Hollyleaf changes her name to Fallenleaf after returning from her century-long ordeal in the tunnels a changed cat. Hoprunner gets an honor rename to Deadfoot for his effective battle strategy of having a bludgeoning weapon in his weak foot. Daylight takes an honor title of Clawface, which he thinks is a much stronger sounding name, symbolizing his turn to a violent ideology and rejecting the "weakness" of his brother. Meltpelt becomes Ratscar after surviving being attacked by a huge swarm of rats. He gets his name at least temporarily reset Back to Meltpelt as punishment for being a Dark Forest trainee. Crowfeather is now already a warrior, Crowfoot, when he asks to have an honor title of Crowfeather in memory of Feathertail. Similarly, Jayfeather is now a full warrior, Jayfang, before he gets the honor title of Jayfeather for saving Hazeltail from a seemingly incurable illness, with no one knowing that he committed sacrilege by fighting a StarClan warrior to do so. Leafpool got her full cleric name of Leafstripe before being renamed to Leafpool after her discovery of the Moonpool and telling multiple prophecies. Harelight was originally Harefur and was renamed as an honor title for being ones of the Lights in the Mist. Lizardtail, a former Dark Forest trainee, is renamed to Hallowflight in honor of him betraying the Dark Forest in the Great Battle and swimming across the lake and running the rest of the way to ThunderClan territory to get reinforcements. One-eye was originally named Pheasantfeather before getting One-Eye as an Honor Title. Rather than Scorchwind being Raggedstar's brother, it is now his original name before he got Raggedpelt as an honor title. On the negative side there are the several dishonor titles, usually temporary. For instance, Brightpaw's rename (which unlike the others was intended to be permanent, showing Bluestar's cruelty) is now to Swifthound instead of Lostface, because in the Clans' Proud Warrior Race Guy culture scars are considered honorable, but being reminded of your friend's death due to your foolishness is not. Tigerstar gives dishonor titles to the half-Clan cats to shame them. Stonefur and Mistyfoot are named Heartworm and Festerberry, respectively, to portray them as poisons or parasites on the Clan, while Stormpaw and Featherpaw get named respectively Graypaw and Silverpaw to shame them for their parents. Both Bramblestar and Onestar give the Dark Forest trainees in their Clans dishonor names. In ThunderClan, we have Spiderleg as Spiderbite (referencing the idea of animals cannibalizing their young because he almost killed his son), Blossomfall as Shredbloom, and Mousewhisker as Stupidhead for not thinking through his decision to join the Dark Forest. In WindClan, Harespring becomes Darkseeker for joining the Dark Forest to seek knowledge of Mudclaw, Breezepelt is Dodderheart for corrupting his Clanmates into joining with him (with specific emphasis on Onestar's fear for Breezepelt's influence on Onestar's daughter Heathertail, as dodder is a parasite to heather), Sunstrike is Brokensun and Furzepelt is Fleapelt. Ashfur also gives several dishonor titles to cats who defy him. Blossomfall becomes Clearface to show no one wants to hear from her and she might as well be invisible (which hurts her a lot given her past experience with dishonor titles), Sparkpelt becomes Flickercry to remind her of her failures, and Twigbranch becomes Fumbleclaw to portray her as lazy for a hunting mistake. Yellowfang was originally Shroompelt, and was renamed Yellowfang as a dishonor title when she was framed for the murder of Marigoldkit, to represent her fangs being stained with guilt. Tribe cats have inherited last names (e.g siblings Brook and Crag being Brook Where-it-Swirls and Crag Where-it-Swirls), and can change their last names due to great achievements or sometimes make minor changes for minor achievements. All cats have this in the form of their warrior names being granted when they finish training, and the "star" suffix gained when a cat becomes leader, as in canon. In the rewrite, the cultural origin of this is from the park cats, who are nameless at birth and choose a meaningful name for themselves. Some original warrior names have particular meaning. For example, Brushpaw nearly gets killed fighting for Onestar during Mudclaw's rebellion and the sabotaged muirburn, and is named Brushblaze for the fire, while Snappaw gets named Snapstorm for the rain that put out the fire. Fernpaw gets the full warrior name Ferncloud to reference a fast-moving cloud, referring to how fast she ran while leading the dog pack towards the gorge to avenge her mother's death.

Better Bones AU (Blog) / int_eb2195d9	comment	Rousseau Was Right: The cats treated as being "born evil" in canon are not this way in the rewrite, with more of an emphasis on how environment and ideology shape a cat into what they are. For example, Brokenstar, despite being a manifested curse, is not inherently evil but a product of his battle-centric culture angry at all his Clan has suffered due to WindClan and wanting to make sure the battles are all for something by winning them, and Hawkfrost is himself a victim of half-Clan prejudice who is manipulated by Leopardstar, Tigerstar, and the other remaining TigerClan supporters in RiverClan into becoming the next incarnation of his father who will bring back their "glory days". The exceptions are gods like One-eye and Sol who are just motivated by respectively spreading destruction and chaos, though they are so far removed from their mortal selves and personalities that they may well once have not been inherently evil as well.

Better Bones AU (Blog) / int_f8600b	comment	Firestar and Sandstorm are no longer a couple - Firestar is aromantic, but they are very close platonically and Firestar is still the father of Sandstorm's children. Similarly there is nothing romantic between him and Spottedleaf, with Spottedleaf acting more as a Cool Big Sis.

Better Bones AU (Blog) / int_f8a7ff7e	comment	Sudden Principled Stand: After half the arc is spent watching the kin show its increasingly cult like nature and descend into executing people who defy Darktail, Breezepelt, who has previously been loyal to the kin, takes a stand and expresses horror at the idea of Heathertail being executed, leading to his Heelâ€“Face Turn and spending the rest of the arc trying to atone for what he's done in both Omen of the Stars and A Vision of Shadows by fighting against the Kin from the inside and saving as many of the cats slated for execution as he can. Hawkfrost, despite fighting with Tigerstar for most of the Great Battle, objects to him and turns against him after Tigerstar suggests trying to kill everyone, even the noncombatants, in a Last Villain Stand. He gets brutally attacked by Tigerstar for it and, despite Ivypool getting him to the Dark Forest in time to avoid being fully Deader than Dead, he remains in a. state of flickering half-existence afterwards.

Firestar, Brokenstar and the reconstituted SkyClan are ultimately able to defeat the rats and allow the spirits of cats they once were to rest.

Better Bones AU (Blog) / int_fb9941df	comment	Platonic Co-Parenting: Lionblaze and Cinderheart co-parent Dovewing and Ivypool due to both being the siblings of the two's biological parents. There's also Hawkwing and Plumwillow, as in canon. Oakheart gives Graypool his kits Mistykit and Stonekit to be raised alongside her biological kit Swankit, and ends up raising the kits alongside her although they are not romantically involved. Some honor siring situations, like Firestar and Sandstorm with Squirrelflight and Leafpool, are a variation where both are the biological parents of the kits, but not romantically involved, though in other honor sirings the biological father does not participate in raising the offspring.

Being killed by a living cat renders them Deader than Dead. Ivypool is thus horrified by her actions.

However he is still the Crazy Jealous Guy he is in canon and is also partially motivated by wanting to cause Squirrelflight pain. Ripplestar launched attacks on all the other Clans because he wanted to gain enough territory to allow SkyClan to come back from exile and have a home.

They note you should not use these herbs on your real cats since they aren't actually tested in cats, but it's more research than the authors put into herbs in the canon books. Bonefall also researches the ecology of the areas of northern England that the AU is set in, in contrast to canon's many instances of Misplaced Wildlife.
