    (there is actually a deeper reason he doesn't want to be with anybody...but I haven't touched on it till now. I think I probably should do that next. It will give his character more depth than just: I won't have kits cause just no it's not traditional or I dislike them or I'm incapable of feeling love toward anyone. Oh and by the way I'm lusting after a teenager anyways

    He was aro-ace all along!

    (yeah I know...this is literally just cause of dice rolls?? Though Snowpaw was actually only a few days (or moons) off from being an adult nicheling when I found her and has actually grown to an adult in the game. Once we travel to the new island she will be given her warrior name.

    I want to pass on her genes but Bugpaw is the only one her age and he isn't interested? I think medicine cats will still be reluctant to have kits, even after Turtlemist because it will take them away from their duties so I guess that makes sense. Snowpaw is attracted to Rootclaw but he's her mentor so for mw that's just weirder

    I suppose Snowpaw being attracted to her mentor would be more of a teacher crush. It'd be creepier if Rootclaw was the one who was attracted

    Advice on Love Moon 12

    Dispite the altercation with Taman, Fernstar carried to term one mainly healthy kit. The rest of the clan thought his deformed paw was a result of that, but Fernstar realized that it likely wasn't. She blamed herself for the loss of their littermates, jumping at Taman had been a foolish thing to do on some levels. But she had to put her clan first, something she didn't always do.

    She looked away from Stonekit and over to where Shiningsun was sleeping with her kit. She also, had just one kit. Probably due to her being sick early on in the pregnancy. Lightkit was named after his father, and Turtlemist had pronounced him healthy. 

    Movement distracted Fernstar from her thoughts, "Fernstar!" whispered somebody.

    Fernstar felt her hackles raising. It was possible it could be one of her clanmates who needed her, but it was also possible it could be Taman or another rogue trying to fool her. On full alert, she slowly walked toward the shape in the darkness, ready to spring on them if neccesary.

    "Fernstar! Are you awake?" the voice had a high pitch, she couldn't tell if it was uncertainty, excitement, or concern. But she recognized the voice, and soon her eyes adjusted to the dark.

    "Rootclaw!" she exclaimed, "you scared me half to death!"

    "I'm so sorry! Wouldn't want you to loose one of your lives, you have precious few of them," he didn't sound mocking, rather sincere and caring were beneath his usual jesting.

    She couldn't stiffle a laugh, if she wasn't clan leader she would've given him a friendly shove.

    "I...want to talk to you alone," it was hard to read the look in his eyes in the dark.

    Fernstar straightened, it must be important, "Of course, we'll talk just outside camp." It might be odd for a leader to see a clan member alone, but Remnant Clan had few members and Fernstar trusted them all. Turtlemist flashed through her mind...well, not all of them liked her, but she was sure they wouldn't betray her. The only one she had ever thought might try and overthrow her was Lightwatcher, and he was in Star Clan now.

    Outside of camp, Rootclaw said, "I saw you talking with Turtlemist today."

    Fernstar was baffled, why was this so important? "So?"

    "It didn't look like he was happy, I assume it was about him fathering your kits?"

    Fernstar was a bit shocked, but not much, her shoulders drooped, "It was that easy to guess?"

    "When you announced the change in the code, the way you two interacted was enough to give it away then and there. I've supported it with my observations of your interactions since," his voice was calm, not accusing.

    "Well then, is that all?" Fernstar said curtly.

    "No," said Rootclaw firmly, "it isn't."

    "Go on," said Fernstar, her words carrying an unexpected edge.

    "I think it's a mistake," Rootclaw replied.

    "Have you and Turtlemist conspired against me? Did he think you could convince me to spare him fatherhood?" she hissed.

    She could hear the surprise in Rootclaw's voice, "No, nothing like that!" Then he barreled on ahead with his words, "I couldn't give a mouse-turd about Turtlemist. It's you that concerns me. He doesn't love you. He wouldn't be a good father to your kits!"

    "I know all this already," said Fernstar, a tear slipping down her cheek, "and it doesn't change a thing. There must be decendants of Swamp Clan in this clan, or it would no longer be the remnant of the clans lost in the disasters, and Star Clan would be angered. Even if they weren't, they could not help us escape the disaster that would befall us."

    "Why doesn't Shiningsun have his kits, then?" Rootclaw suggested.

    "Shiningsun is my friend. And she has suffered enough already. She has done her service, it is time for me to do mine," Fernstar said the words with a certain detatchment. She had already made up her mind before. She had to be strong.

    "But Shiningsun won't be happy. She is in love with no-one here and no-one is in love with her. You'll both be miserable! She'd do it for you, and the sight of your happiness would bring joy to her," insisted Rootclaw.

    "There has to be someone in this clan who can be with her..." Fernstar interrupted herself, "and besides, who would be with me?"

    "Does it matter? As long as you're with someone who loves you! I can't bear to see you with someone who merely tolerates your existance! Or worse who ignores you completely so your kits grow up fatherless," Rootclaw spoke with such sincerity...such emotion. He cares about me...being happy? It was hard to believe, and if it was true it was even harder not to listen.

    "Just talk to Shiningsun about it," pleaded Rootclaw.

    She stood there...frozen by a mix of emotions swirling within. She began to shake. Someone licked her shoulder. She looked up to see Rootclaw, his eyes compassionate and concerned. It nearly melted her heart...but she had to put her clan first. There was no room for love, was there?

    "I..." it took her a minute to speak further, "I will...speak with Shiningsun." The words came out quickly, as if they had been merely damed up.

    -

    It was dawn when Fernstar came to her, asking for a word outside of camp. Shiningsun knew it must be terribly important, "but what about the kits?"

    "We won't be gone long. Rootclaw will guard the nursery," she said. Shiningsun could tell she was unfocused.

    When they were outside camp, Fernstar suddenly wailed, "Oh Shiningsun! I don't know what to do! Part of me wants not to lay this upon your shoulders..."

    "I can take it," she replied.

    "It's about Turtlemist," groaned Fernstar, "he doesn't want to have kits. Star Clan only knows why since it is no longer forbidden! It seems he wants to have them with me least of all. I'd given up hope on love...but now..."

    "Turtlemist is a down-right fool. Any tom would be lucky to have you," Shiningsun purred.

    "I know he's a fool, that much is sure. But I...I must be loyal to my clan," a flash of guilt passed in Fernstar's eyes.

    "Is this about Stonekit? I don't mean to pry...but everyone knows his father wasn't a clan cat," Shiningsun tried to be as gentle as possible, but she saw anger kindle in Fernstar's gaze.

    "I don't want to talk about it," she spat.

    "I think you should. It will feel good to get it off your chest. I won't tell anyone what you say to me in confidence," Shiningsun coaxed.

    Fernstar sat still for some time, staring out at nothing. Finally, she spoke, her voice filled with sadness, "Remember that loner we encountered on our way back from the old camp after fetching you and Bugkit from it?"

    "Yes," Shiningsun said.

    "Well, he approached me that evening and said he wanted to talk alone," Fernstar continued.

    Shiningsun grew hot with rage, had he taken advantage of Shiningsun the way Taman did her?

    "I asked again if he wanted to join the clan, and he said no. We talked for a bit about the island. I tried to glean any information I could about him and the inhabitants. He's an odd sort named Pinky, who thinks cats should live alone. He was somewhat charming.

    "And then he confessed that he loved me. I was reeling from Turtlemist's initial rejection at the time. I fell for him. And before you know it I was expecting his child..."

    So that's why Fernstar's so guilty. She hadn't been assaulted by a rogue. She fell in love with him. So she couldn't tell such a thing to the clan or they might rebel against her or remove her from leadership or worse. "I understand. Just because someone is born outside the clan...that doesn't make them fundamentally different or unlovable."

    "But I betrayed my clan," Fernstar said strongly, "and now I must serve them in any way I can. I must regain the trust Star Clan has put in me. Even if it means I am unhappy, and a fling with a loner is the closest to love I ever get."

    "No," said Shiningsun, "I could not bear to see you unhappy for all your days. I will bear the responsibility myself."

    "You have already saved my life. I could not let myself be indebted to your further. Let me in some small way repay the debt, let you be the one who is happy," Fernstar's eyes shone with tears.

    "And let you out of my debt?" said Shiningsun jokingly, "I quite enjoy being owed."

    Fernstar chuckled, but her eyes still were pools of sadness.

    "Besides, who shall I become the mate of? Redfish only has eyes for Snowpaw-"

    "That poor apprentice!" burst out Fernstar, her tail swishing, "I've seen even Turtlemist looking at her! A young she-cat surrounded by old toms!"

    "And neither of which would attempt anything," reminded Shiningsun, "Turtlemist's unwillingness to take a mate is the cause of our sorrow. Redfish is too honorable and has his reputation as deputy to keep up."

    Fernstar nodded, "Why don't you ask Rootclaw to be your mate? He's a fine hunter...has a good sense of humor...fiercely loyal..."

    "Why don't you? Can't you tell he loves you?" Shiningsun ventured.

    "That's ridiculou-" Fernstar stopped mid-sentence, she was thinking. After a minute she said, "It makes sense, doesn't it?"

    "And do you love him back?" asked Shiningsun.

    "I...I don't know..." but Shiningsun saw the sheepish look in her eyes.

    "If you do, you two should become mates. Let me worry about Turtlemist. Who knows? Perhaps we'll find another female that he won't dispise quite so much," Shiningsun said with a playful glint in her eye.

    Fernstar nodded. And for the first time in months she was brimming with hope and joy. There was a spring in her step as they entered back into camp.

     

    Mh, Rootclaw's feelings are a bit too sudden, or a least not subtle enough in my opinion
