[green ! [old ghost]]

going to take a shot at these, because they're so awesome and the idea is so unique! if i end up using your cat, i apologize sosososo much for possibly ruining their personality. i don't mean to!

(order they were completed)
51, 101, 65, 37, 42, 67, 102, 71, 16, 25, 6, 103

blackstorm & barktail - cats you might see occasionally, but they'll always be together. they're from stormfoot's past.
ashflower, palefur, lionfang, pebbleclaw- other cats you might see often, but with no particular pairs.
redclaw- you'll definitely see him a lot, and he's another cat from stormfoot's past.
blackpaw drabbles - because i'm gonna try my hand at him, i made a series (sorta)! drabbles 67, 102, 71, 16, 25, 6, 103 (in that order) are all about him and the cats he seems closest to in whatever ways. i did a lot of research for these, but i still took a lot of liberties! i apologize for butchering him, cuz he's awesome.

• How this ball of mousedung could have been produced by the same infuriating queen as Cinderpaw was lost on Blackpaw. The family shared one quality- they bothered him. But he could see Cinderpaw by his side for many moons, and he didn't mind Birchtail. It was just Falconpaw that made Blackpaw want to defy the warrior code in the worst of ways.
  
  Whoever Birchtail's mate was, he must've been one hell of a tom.
  
  
• 74 words. part six of my blackpaw drabbles. after reading his interactions with falconpaw and cinderpaw and writing his cinderpaw drabble, this formed in my head. i think blackpaw would definitely spend some time wondering about the siblings' father. blackpaw (crow), falconpaw & birchtail (cloudie), cinderpaw (kelly).

7. The Tree
8. Kingdom
9. Options
10. Nurturing
11. Crest
12. Passion
13. Reflective
14. Pristine
15. Mistletoe
16. Romantic

• There were times when Blackpaw realized that he'd never have Owlstar feel the same way. Those sames times left him full of doubts that Cinderpaw actually wanted him, which often was coupled with the worry that his own friendship with Willowpaw was going to fall into pieces.
  
  But Silverflower's smile took it all away.
  
  Because, no matter how you defined it, Blackpaw loved Silverflower. And it didn't bother him that Cedarpaw was going to win.
  
  
• 75 words. totally inspired by his brief interaction with silverflower in the beginning of the takeover thread, as well as cedarpaw's crush on silverflower. i think they're pretty cute like this. haha, number five in my blackpaw drabble batch. blackpaw & silverflower (crow), owlstar & cinderpaw (kelly), willowpaw (slug), cedarpaw (night).

17. Visionary
18. Shamrock
19. Celestial
20. Bravado
21. Lick
22. Believe
23. Rain
24. Focal Point
25. Shadows

• If Blackpaw had to pick his opposite, Sootpaw would be the only one up for the running. He was brash, he was cold. He had friends, he had lists. He was in love several times over, he could only fixate on the past. Yet there was something so raw about their differences that made Blackpaw wonder if they'd be able to exist without the other.
  
  After all, what would black be without gray to shade it from.
  
  
• 77 words. because of the thread defyin' gravity, i think these two would make an awesome bromance pair. honestly. i'm glad they're going to split together, because i want to see these two interact some more. number four in my blackpaw batch. blackpaw (crow), sootpaw (kelly).

26. Flashing
27. Clouds
28. Petal
29. Present
30. Records
31. Family
32. Storm
33. Pale
34. Tan
35. Bonds
36. Death
37. The One

• When Jaypaw took the time to really study his leg, instead of the overwhelming grief he should have felt, the tom only felt thankful. The apprentice often asked Sandpaw about the injury, fully aware of the monotone reply he'd get. But he'd still do it. Jaypaw wanted the medicine cat to tell him how lucky he was. Because Jaypaw should have been the one to die.
  
  
• 66 words. the thread where bramblefang dies was one of the first i read (i like to be in the know of things that happened, so i read a lot of the threads). after going over jaypaw's character, i wanted to formulate my own response of how he would react to the news. which resulted in this. jaypaw (crow), sandpaw (slug), and bramblefang (roscoe).

38. Friend
39. Lust
40. Behavior
41. Duel
42. Clutch

• There was a hole in his wall. All he wanted to do was to fix that hole, close the wall, and shut himself out from the painful figure that lived on the outside. But Redtail couldn't bring himself to, so the hole remained. And whenever he felt particularly hopeless, the tabby would sit by the hole, clinging, clutching, and pretending he still belonged to the MeadowClanner on the other side.
  
  
• 70 words. i just love justin beiber redtail's story, and i really hope i did him justice. it's (obviously) about redtail (cloudie) and tigertail (crow), though not-so-much tigertail.

43. Impartial
44. Bias
45. Water
46. Rancid
47. Inept
48. Foolhardy
49. Fetal
50. Ungainly

51-100

51. Blizzard

• The world lacked color, much like the clan lacked hope. One could get lost in the mass of white hush that blanketed the ground forcibly. No cat wanted this, no cat asked for this. But all cats received it, and now they dealt with the pain of not knowing if they'd wake up in the morning. No longer did blackbirds caws, did mice squeak, did foxes cry. Life as they knew it was trapped in a soundless bubble of cold.
  
  Somewhere in the distance a kitten cried.
  
  
• 84 words. no characters in specific here. at first thought it was just the blizzard that struck recently. but then i realized it could also fit the fogclan plot in an abstract way. so take it as you wish! on another note, it first came out depressing-like. then i finished it and decided that it's not supposed to be. if you notice, the first paragraph is all about silence and lifelessness. but the last line brings life into everything with the kitten. the kitten broke the silence by being born. c:

52. Crowds
53. Frost
54. Smoke
55. Leaves
56. Betrayal
57. Journey
58. Forgiveness
59. Roses

65. Gate

• We all have our scars. We all have our sorrows. We all have our bitter hearts, our single tears, our broken parts. We all have those dreams, we break the night with screams. And we all have those certain cats we never seem to please.
  
  But we all have our skies.
  
  
• 51 words. so this was originally for all those apprentices out there who never seem to do any thing right, but know there's something brighter waiting for them. i especially focused on blackpaw (crow), willowpaw (slug), and cedarpaw (night), the fogclan apprentices who aren't becoming warriors because of the plot. but in a broad sense, this could be used for anyone who would like to disregard their personal glass ceiling.

66. Stuck
67. Owl

• When he lived with his family, Blackpaw would comment on how his sisters were the only females for him.
  
  When he lost his sisters, Blackpaw swore to whatever being there was that he would keep it that way.
  
  But when he met Owlstar on that day, Blackpaw was sure StarClan would forgive him for breaking his promise and loving this beautiful she-cat.
  
  
• 62 words. the first drabble i did for blackpaw, and it's, of course, about owlstar. once i heard that he was mundo in love with her, i fell for all the angst and awesome and everything that could come from it, because i think we all know nothing ever is gonna happen from this. blackpaw (crow), owlstar (kelly).

68. Soul Mate

• They had danced around each other for so long, but neither were very good at dancing, and eventually they just stumbled into each others arms.
  
  
• ... soulmates. ♥

69. Traitor
70. Star
71. Annoyance

• She was annoying. She was loud. She was bland. She was Mistpelt's apprentice. She was no Owlstar. She was no Willowpaw. She was the type of cat that Blackpaw hated, and yet he couldn't help but smile at her.
  
  In the end, at least she wasn't Falconpaw.
  
  
• 47 words. so yeah. cinderpaw's crush on blackpaw? cutest thing ever, and this is my take on it. it's also the third drabble in my blackpaw batch. blackpaw (crow), cinderpaw & owlstar (kelly), mistpelt (spec), willowpaw (slug), falconpaw (cloudie).

author's choice! - eyes!

• It wasn't the disadvantage that bothered Blackstorm.
  
  In reality he enjoyed the challenge it presented.
  
  Startled stares from unsuspecting strangers didn't bother him either.
  
  They would learn.
  
  And pity. Pity never bothered him. Pity didn't exist.
  
  He didn't want their pity.
  
  What bothered him about the raw scar over the left side of his face was that when he rolled his eyes at Barktail, the mocking gesture lost half it's effect.
  
  
• 71 words.
  
  so this one's about two of my oldest characters, blackstorm and barktail. they're briefly mentioned in stormfoot's bio. and i'd love to actually bring them in, but i've set them in forestclan, so unless some plot allows more forestclan cats to come over... yeah. but i love these guys, and when i saw "author's choice" i knew i had to post this one, cuz i wrote it a long time ago when blackstorm first got his wound (on an old site).

author's choice! - gravity!

• Blackpaw hated Willowpaw for all of three seconds.
  
  As the first went by, all Blackpaw wanted to do was grow another backbone and give it to the tom. The second flashed and he just wanted to shout obscenities at the apprentice. The third went by and made him ache with pity for the pathetic piece of foxdung.
  
  But when the fourth second struck and Willowpaw smiled that stuttering smile, Blackpaw decided he wouldn't deny gravity a single thing.
  
  
• 78 words. black/willow, i'm so guilty. but i did some serious consideration on their personalities and came to the conclusion that blackpaw shouldn't like willowpaw but at the same time he has to like willowpaw. from that came this, which is the second in my blackpaw drabble batch. blackpaw (crow), willowpaw (slug).

author's choice! - silence!

• If Blackpaw was quite honest, there were no words that rightfully conveyed how he felt about Mistpelt, because nothing was quite venomous enough. She just drew all of the oxygen out of his lungs and left him speechlessness, gasping for breath and words and faith and life because nothing was as detrimental to his breath, his words, his faith, or his life than Mistpelt was. When he looked at the stars and saw nothing, Blackpaw knew without a doubt that Mistpelt was slowly killing him, ripping him apart from the inside and turning his innards to ash. It made him want to hiss at her and condemn her soul.
  
  So it pissed him off that all he could say was “Yes, Mistpelt.”
  
  
• 124 words. yeah, i went over with my ramblings. but i couldn't condense how blackpaw felt about her and i still hatehatehate how this came out. however, the placebo (band) undertones in this make me a little happier. it's also the last in my blackpaw drabble batch series. blackpaw (crow), mistpelt (spec).
