warrior cats obscure rarepair doomed yuri time
I've had this idea for a while, but it's one I don't think I would have the motivation to turn into a full PMV, so I'm comfortable leaving it as a storyboard for now! I've got the idea out and that's what mostly matters to me haha.
This animatic follows a slight AU where instead of forming a crush on Cloudtail when she moves to ThunderClan, Daisy instead falls in love with the medicine cat Cinderpelt. Both cats are going through a moment of loneliness in their lives so are drawn together, but also both fear that their relationship won't last. Daisy is struggling to cope in ThunderClan, still hurts from her failed relationship with Smoky, fears for her children due to the open hostility she faces from some of the warriors for her origins, and isn't sure if she can truly stay here. Cinderpelt has recently recieved an omen of her own death, feels both betrayed and hypocritical about her apprentice's own illegal relationship, and knows she doesn't have much time left. Neither really wants to honestly confide in the other about this, but neither can resist the joy and relief of the company. They wish they had met earlier, had more time together, that their relationship could have worked out in another world.
After Cinderpelt's death, Daisy ends up remaining in Thunderclan as she does in canon, and has a short lived loveless relationship with Spiderleg. (As a ghost, unbeknownst to Daisy, Cinderpelt also tags along with her niece Cinderheart for a while (which for the sake of this PMV is more like a friendly ghost haunting than reincarnation or possession)). Time goes on, and there are several points in Daisy's life where as a nursery queen she spends time consoling cats grieving loved ones (including, by unfortunate chance, Cinderheart). These situations remind her of her own situation in her youth after losing Cinderpelt, and she feels proud that she can be the comfort for other people she felt she needed at that time, but also ends up ruminating on her lost relationship once again. When she goes to StarClan, will she have a chance to meet the girl she loved once again and try to rekindle the relationship they missed out on? Only time will tell.
