Willow 【Complete Nightcloud/Feathertail MAP】
Willow has been a true labour of love this month; and truly worth it. I had originally hoped to release it just before Crowfeather's Trial, but them's the breaks.
In this MAP's story, Nightcloud sees Crowfeather sitting by the lake and watching Leafpool on Thunderclan's side, reminiscing about her, and Nightcloud is overcomeby fear and jealousy and runs to him, asking why he's still hung up on a woman who no longer wants him when she's right there. Crowfeather doesn't have an answer for her, and gives her a half hearted hug before leaving after she asks him to hold her. Nightcloud remembers what it was like when they were younger (The books have never been particularly clear on if nightcloud actually IS older than him or not, it seems to me like they initially wanted to do that but have since abandoned that plot thread, so just assume for our purposes that they were apprentices at the same time) and how things used to be simpler. In anger, she strikes the memory of crowfeather, before turning to the memory of her younger self to destroy it, too, when Feathertail, who has been watching her as she follows Crowfeather, stops her. Nightcloud finally voices her feelings of how she feels unloved and inadequate and her and feathertail fall in love, meeting in her dreams to romp around in Starclan. This gives her the courage she needs to finally break up with Crowfeather.
