#1 in Shadowpaw #302 in ThunderClan #970 in warriorcats (not bad considering the entire story is contained in a single chapter) Preface: I do have the full book in one chapter so readers can read ad-free, but also have all ACTs split up in the proceeding chapters for readers who prefer to read in small amounts So you know what you're getting into, this book aims to shift the entire paradigm around the medicine cat code and the warrior code around clan relationships, since I haven't seen any good fictions do it well, or with any actual effects outside of "main character happy now." ______________ Introduction: Rootpaw and Shadowpaw, on the day they first met, couldn't quite figure out what it was, maybe their shared loneliness. Maybe the feeling that they only have each other in two clans what seem contemptuous to their existence. One thing was certain though. Their journey to finding love and peace would inadvertently change the clans forever. Join Rootpaw and Shadowpaw on an emotional rollercoaster that will explore what it really means to be a clan cat. Is the warrior code as infallible as it's made out to be? Be ready to cry, and laugh, and smile, because you'll be doing plenty of all of those. Story takes place after Shadowpaw treats Rootpaw's paw. ________________ Disclaimer: I recommend reading this in paged mode since it is quite long, and you might want to be able to take down your page number in case you're unable to read it in one sitting. Post writing new note -_- As I was finishing this book, I started - and finished - reading the final book of the Broken Code arc, and it kind of undermined the weight of my story a bit, and I was quite disheartening to see that the Erins beat me to it. However, I don't care. I take solace in the fact that I still thought of it myself. As of right now, it's complete since I don't plan to add anymore chapters in the near future, but if people want the rest enough, let me know.
