Ah very cute map I loved it! However I have a question. In part of the map there is Sandstorm revealing leafkit and Squirrelkit, how does that tie in to fire-gray?
Y'know, in the books, when the two-legs take graystripe, it was seid that firestar chased after the van until his pads where torn and bleeding from the concrete and even then sandstorm had to yell after him to stop. She convinces him against going after him a few scenes afterwards, firestar being full prepared to drop everything and go on a cross country crusade to find his best friend. He still can't bring himself to name a new deputy, completely heart broken and unable to face the idea that the cat that's been with him sints the very start of his journey might be dead. Although their where only ever the best of friends in cannon, I still find their bond very emotive. They truly were the original dynamic duo
Firestar wasn't there when greystripe got taken away. Your second point is a bit true though,Firestar did come around in his own time but named brambleclaw deputy
@@loritorres4302 No I'm not. Firestar was not on the rescue patrol. He stayed at camp. Brambleclaw came back with the patrol and explained the bad news
What happens if Graystripe will live forever and The erin hunters will never kill him what happens if graystripe is a demi-god. And when i searched up who is the oldest cat in warrior cats they said blackstar, and I am like no it is graystrip
I love how instead of Firestar’s perspective, the host takes a chance to make Greystripe the protagonist. This ship is so underrated and I swear anyone who doesn’t will never get there kneecaps back- 👏👏👏
I don't really like the ship that much, Firestar had a loving mate his whole life and Greystripe had two. He was very much in love with Silverstream and then Millie. I know they're very close in the books but that's because they're best friends. Firestar knew Greystripe ever since he joined the clan, so ofc they'll be very close. But of course, you can ship whoever you want
@@Friedphesh yes, but i kinda hope be dosent. Just to be like, "i am enevidable, starclan." But he will probs die, i wonder who he will live in starclan with. Silverstream or Milly. Or what if Milly dies and he finds ANOTHER mate, just a possibility. LOL. I wish firestar and Greystripe were a possible couple tho :C
They needed to portray this friendship way more than they did after the first series... especially when Firestar died. All Graystripe did was stand there and say "I would of taken your place." BRO I NEEDED SOMETHING MORE EMOTIONAL SO I CAN FEEL THE BOND BETWEEN THESE TWO
What if Graystripe met Firestar in StarClan after Firestar died? Graystripe was padding through a wood, the starlight illuminating the beautiful forest around him. He felt cats walking beside him but he didn’t know who. He kept on walking, feeling a lot younger. He knew it was a dream, but he didn’t know where he was. It was a beautiful land, clear streams and young strong trees, hills folding over the land and great mountains rising on the horizon. He sat down on a hill, under an oak, looking out at the line. “You’ve found me,” came a voice from behind him. Graystripe turned his head around, confusion rippling under his pelt, then his breath caught in his throat. Pelt like flame, eyes like stars, stood.. 𝙃𝙞𝙢. “...Firestar..?” Graystripes voice was a whisper, a whimper, a fantasy. Firestar stepped forward, pelt soaked in stars. Graystripe jumped to his paws, running towards his friend, whom he hadn’t seen in so long. He buried his head in Firestars’ shoulder, and Firestar in his. “I’ve missed you so much, my old friend. Its just not the same without you. It’s not the same...” he felt his throat close up in emotion. Firestar looked him in the eyes, repeating what he’d said previously. “You found me. And here we are now. You’ll be with me yet, Graystripe, but I came to see you before that. One more sunrise, one more with you. That’s all I wish before I join StarClan.” His voice cracked with emotion. Firestar led Graystripe back to the tree on the hill, and they sat side by side. Graystripes’ heart was full of sorrow, and at the same time, love. He’d never felt more happy, sitting here, next to Firestar, looking out at the horizon. First came the flecks of pink and orange, and suddenly the whole sky came to life, and the sun broke the peaks of the distant mountains, flooding the land in light and life. Another day. Another day. 𝙊𝙣𝙚 𝙙𝙖𝙮 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙬𝙤𝙣’𝙩 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙗𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙡𝙖𝙨𝙩 𝙨𝙪𝙣𝙧𝙞𝙨𝙚. Graystripe thought. But for now, he just enjoyed the moment. Next to Firestar. Watching the sunrise. Together. ❤️
To me greystripe is like the ash after a fire he represents how he always calmed down firestar and firestar would never have gone anywhere with out his best friend at his side
I love the part at 3:32-3:40 because as Graystripe cries, you can actually see Graystripe breath in an out, and you can see the shallow breaths that he takes in while sobbing. It's so smooth too.
Even though I'm not a Firegray shipper,this- THIS WAS STUNNING. The designs, shading, storytelling, collabs, EVERYTHING was so beautiful! I really look forward to more of your multi-animator projects!
Same here! I don’t ship firegray, but this is just too adorable to miss😍 the story fit really nicely on here, really close to canon, but you know, except the firegray being mates part. Overall it was so beautiful, I shed some tears😭
In one of the books when Graystripe was in Riverclan, and Leopardstar told him to kill Firestar, but he refused, and rejoined Thunderclan, because he didn’t what to have a leader like that. But love how deep this relationship goes, it warms my heart.
oh no my heart... it's both so full and also completely BROKEN such a gorgeous and emotional map! Nothing short of incredible work from everyone involved. Definitely one of my new all-time favourites!! but also!! VERY!! dangerous!! because it makes me weep like a little BABY
Oh. My. Mew. I have never seen a gay shipping map that doesn't eliminate the original mate of the shipped couple. Sandstorm, Silverstream and even Millie are well portrayed here, along with their sons. Hope you all keep the good work, cause this was absolutely beautiful!
3:32 that was such smooth animation let’s just give this person such great credit, also the story about fire star and gray stripe is so well portrayed I love it so much!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Maybe Stormfur, Feathertail, Briarlight, Bumblestripe and Blossomfall could also be FireGray kits? With Silverstream and Millie being the surrogate mothers of course.
winter My thought was maybe Sandstorm would be with Millie and Graystripe or Firestar would be the donator for their kits which would be Briar, Bumble, and Blossom. Not sure how to fit in Silverstream. I love playing with AUs like this :)
It makes me so mad the in a Vision of Shadows it shows cats who never even met firestar disrespecting him and calling him bossy. I UGH my boy needs love!
Yes everyone is disrespectful to Grey and he just remember ing things about fire and Starclan is trapped, Grey is sad, I feel so sorry for Greystripe he is actually a cat that has deserved to live long and so was Firestar rip Fire oof
"Firestar was so bossy!" Bramblestar: ... I'ma head out. (but jokes aside I could see from a story telling perspective how Firestar could be seen as being bossy even though it was usually for the wellbeing of others and the clans in general. He did involve himself quite a bit into other clan business and help them even if they didn't want it which did backfire multiple times even with old friends from the clans like Mistystar and Onestar. Even Blackstar 😅).
@@clouddii9575 I think all leaders are bossy, but in a good way. I more think of Firestar as strict, because he still listens to his warriors and even apprentices ideas.
I don't know why but I cried so hard while watching this.. I miss Firepaw when he was training happily, I miss Bluestar when she was healthy, And I miss Graystripe, when he was there with Firestar.
It's so cool how there is a raven at the biggest turning points in both graystripes and firestar's lives. I love that this ship is a thing! (It also makes me so happy and gives me nostalgia to think that graystripe was the first ever clan cat that firestar had ever met, and his best friend! Edit: I also think that Firestars death devastated graystripe the most. They had known each other since the beginning, and it's such an amazing ship/friendship!
i think is the first map that's ever actually made me burst into tears?? it's so. so good. everyone's parts were so BEAUTIFUL and the storytelling is absolutely phenominal i. cannot contain myself. im still crying hjgfHDBG
I know this is shipping them but I love to think that this was just how incredible their bromance was. Not romantic but still the strongest bond ever seen in warriors; closer than any love, friend, or kinship could ever be
My favorite song: Yes My favorite gay ship: Yes Made with good animators: Yes Is this all I need to survive?: Yes Edit; Oh god- this is a lot of likes- thank y’all °^°
Oh my god. I was expecting a lot of things, but not this. This is beautiful, like, honestly so beautiful. I’m so proud of literally every animator that came together to work on this and turn it into such a fucking masterpiece. Even if you aren’t as involved with this ship (kinda like I am) or flat out dislike it there is no possible way to NOT give this map praise. Fantastic job everyone, I need more gay warriors maps to feed my soul and this provided that and so, so much more ♡♡
I cant take it, i read the books as well and im sitting here crying while writing. At first i thought i dont know if i like it but when the end comes around and greystipe gos down to his friend.... i cant.... it hit me too hard... i need to stop now or i cant calm myself down. This video did it... it made a 21 yo m cry like a baby....
3:40 The last part with FireStar's death was so heartwarming ❤️ I actually cried Edit: it's three hours later and I'm still crying over it Edit #2: It's a week later and I'm crying again
I’m not a firegray fan, but this map is just- so beautiful. I was really moved, I loved the transition and I am so happy I got to see this masterpiece!
It is very important to note that it is cannon that Firestars last words were ‘no homo’ which thereby negates any and all romantic themes shown in this beautiful, gorgeous MAP. Edit: ok but all jokes aside this timeline gives us a gay couple, three badass women staying single and living their best lives AND if I got the tones correct a much more positive light on adoption and surrogate mothers than TPoT, all things the series desperately needs. Edit 2/ I finally read the description and YES SANDSTORM IS SURROGATE MOTHER/COOL AUNT FOR THE KITS AHHHH as a baby gay this MAP makes me unreasonably happy.
This is just my hc to how Silver fits into this. Before Fire and gray were mates Gray was unsure about his feelings for fire. Unsure if he just admired him or if he loved him. So he turned to Silverstream. Silver loved Gray but gray realized he still had feelings for fire. And couldn’t just replace him. Silver ended up pregnant and didn’t tell gray. She had the kits in riverclan and didn’t die. She went back to thunder hoping to tell the news to gray explain that he was a father and even if she knew now that she would never be hers she just wanted to let him know, but what she found was a cream tabby named Sandstorm. The two hit it off. They bonded and realized that they loved each other. Now for the Mille / grey kits that was a surrogate for firegray’s second litter. And Millie was really involved in her kits upbringing. ( this is just a hc don’t burn me over the stake for this )
“Bro you’re my best friend.” “Broooo that is epic bro.” “Bro, I love you.” “Me too bro.” “Haha no homo tho bro.” “Yeah no homo.” “Bro, wanna go on a date?” “Yeah bro.” “I love you bro.” “I love you too bro.*kiss* No homo.”
Honestly, this MAP was the first one to genuinely get me a bit teary eyed. I've never really thought about Fire x Gray, not in depth anyway, but this MAP is absolutely stunning, and I could feel their emotions so powerfully. Absolutely incredible work, and we love Sandstorm as always
so proud of you for persevering and getting the hard yakka in to get this done. it was so worth it, ive never watched a project that hit like this one. the collabs in this are testaments of what we can do when we work together and there are so many memories involved in this!! fof is such a beautiful video. everything from the script, the designs, the casting on who is in each part, you did so well. everyone put their absolute best in this. that last part is my favourite map part of all time, the movements are so heavy and real! i couldn't be prouder of everyone. look at all those gorgeous thumbnail entries. A+ work here.
@3Cs Gaming And Animations Well, at the time Firestar was planned to be female, I’m still salty that these countries would block the books if they added gay relationships, and I’m saying this while there’s a Mardi Gras parade in my country
THIS MAP CAME OUT MONTHS AGO BUT I'M JUST NOW REALIZING THAT THE "TELL ME LOVE ME" LINE THAT FIRESTAR SINGS AS HE'S DYING JS THE SAME LINE AS GRAYSTRIPE'S CONFESSION AND NOW I'M WONDERING IF FIRESTAR REPEATED GRAY'S CONFESSION AS HIS LAST WORDS TO REASSURE HIM THAT HE LOVES HIM AND I-
This is one of the best ship maps I’ve ever fricking seen I’m a Firegray shipper so of course this will make me happy but you don’t have to be a shipper to appreciate the total BEAUTY of this. Like the final product is just 100% BEAUTIFUL. This is one of my favourite maps ever now. And the desc made me tear up.
Me before to watch the map: Meh they are more friends than lovers but let's watch. Me at the end of the map: Don't cry don't cry don't cry! I MEAN, the animation is so smooth as we easily beleive it could happend! The part when Fire died and Gray cry over the body made me cry! (I rarely do that tho) IT.IS.AMAZING ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I never really shipped the two at first but gradually as I read the books they could be far more than friends with this kind of history, the two have been together since the very beginning and the storyline of near every book he’s in just put into 4:57 minutes of animations is enough, and it felt like I was experiencing it all Over again as I watched and felt firestars death different, but also as if for the first time. Yes I cried. But nonetheless without everything coming together like it did it wouldn’t have the impact , but on the animators part every👏single👏frame. Contained so much emotion in it and I loved it. Good job guys, seriously this is amazing💖
@@tacomuncherkevin just because you obviously dont like Greystripe doesnt really mean you need to share your opinion to people who feel the opposite and quite possibly will take offense from it
I love graystripe so much, he is my second. But if he died he would be with firestar and ravenpaw. I’m definitely not tired of graystripe I’m just saying.
The sun clung willingly onto the hazy sky, illuminating the forest which lay beyond it, unmoving. Graystripe padded along the hard forest interior, his normally aching muscles now relaxed. Was he . . . young again? The thought just nicked his ear, having him stop before observing the trees slowly closing in on him, falling behind. Eyes widening, he started to run, questions whirling inside of his head, creating a tornado of thoughts fogging his mind as he casted out, darting for the exit to this daydream. As he ran, one paw over another, he stopped, as the faint glare of light seemed to polish his pelt, dropping his eyes warily onto the sight which lay before him. A slim, handsome ginger tom sat beneath the sun, the light shining with promises onto his golden-orange fur, leaving no signs of any doubt or resentment. It’s burning green eyes held tight onto Graystripe with an expression he couldn’t recognize. Graystripe kept his gaze fixed onto the cat, his thoughts awakening once more as he held in place, stuck. His eyes held themselves wide open, transfixed all around him, paws shaking beneath the soil that seemed to fall into a perfect place beneath his pads. “Dear friend,” the cat said, reaching a paw slightly outwards as the toms eyes started to stare, though becoming a soft, yet tired sight that simply cured Graystripes worries. Graystripe was breath-taken; he couldn’t believe what was going on. Was this . . . Firestar? He pinned his ears before beginning to take a closer look, one cautious paw in front of another. His mouth opened as he lost all words, throat closed with a whirl of different emotions, as he fumbled with his misshapen words. “F-Firestar . . i-is it . . . really you?” He asked, body flaring in shock as he began to stand still for a moment, pausing. He stood there, astonished, before running up to his best friend as a purr escaped his body. His eyes started to fill with water. Tears treaded lightly into his thick pelt, exchanging a glance with Firestar he couldn’t remember ever doing before. Sniffing rapidly, he and Firestar began breaking into tears once more, knowing Graystripe wouldn’t be here forever, either. Their tails entwined together as meant to be, before Graystripe gave a soft whisper. “I love you.” He kept silent after that, leaning meaningfully into his friends soft chest, nose pressed against him. “I love you too, Graystripe.” Firestar gave a quick lick to his friends chest, as the sun now seemed to catch beneath the horizon, giving its last moments way for Firestar and Graystripe, the wind itself carrying the words “I love you” in its faint howl. The two friends sat together as the world seemed to drift away. ♥️
oKAY OKAY OKAY. I’ve been quiet about this map for a while, but I really have to say this. This is one of the most underrated maps I’ve ever watched and it deserves so much more attention. The amount of raw effort and emotion that was put into this really makes the FireGray ship seem like it’s actually part of the books. Especially the ending. Hell, I almost shed a few tears! Great job to all the participants that worked on this! Cheers to you!
Thanks to this MAP that just randomly popped in my recommendations one day, Warrior cats has gained a new fan. I just ordered the first three books and cant wait to read them.
Wow. I'm genuinely tearing up right now. I've never been fond of the firegray ship. I always wanted them to be just friends, and preferred their canon romances. I never saw them as anything more. But this? This makes me reconsider a small bit, just because of the sheer, absolute beauty of it. I still adore Sandstorm and Firestar, but.. Damn. This got me. Good job. You've made me like a ship I've always hated. This is just absolutely amazing. No doubt I'll be rewatching this again and again.
Watching this gave me chills, yet reading it made me cry. This is truly one of the best Warrior Cats Maps out there. I absolutely adore this and I cant stop watching it! Thank you :,)
YES YES YES YES! PERFECTION. I'm rereading arc 1 for the first time since childhood rn and I'm having HUGE firegray feels even if graystripe IS a huge dingleberry sometimes. So beautiful the script for this is amazing and the artists translated it so well. I teared up and I feel all warm and fuzzy! Love these SWEET BOYS!
Same, at the end it was so beautiful and heartwarming ❤️ I tried to not let people hear. I am way too old for this, but I was in an emotional mood tonight anyway.
I've never gotten so many goosebumps. This was amazing. I screamed with joy as I read the notification, but this is amazing. Like. Genuinely. I actually have no words. As they say, there are about 170k words in the English language, but there's no combination to show how much I love this. I can't believe how amazing this is, The Five Giant's MAP is pretty much equal to how much I love this one. Everyone did amazing, this is a stunning piece. I got so many goosebumps throughout watching Firestar's death and Leafpaw running to alert the others about Graystripe's kidnapping. This is amazing. Props to everyone that participated, and whoever is reading this too, I hope you have a magnificent 2020!
Aaaaaaaa yes I've shipped it for the longest time it's just so well-built. Firestar even admitted that Graystripe was always his first priority, that he was his most trusted fellow. In fire and ice he ached everyday when Graystripe was with Silverstream.
I love that this MAP is told from Graystripe's perspective. He was such a huge character in the first arc, but of course Fireheart over powered that with his main character status, so it's amazing to see a MAP told from Graystripe's perspective that Fireheart has a big role in. This MAP is so beautiful!!
Lord God please please help my heart. This beautiful MAP legitimately made me cry. Each part flowed so beautifully and the AU is better than the books them selves oh no... this just touched me so much.. 100% favourite MAP ever
Graystripe is my favorite character. As much as I want him to live, I know he’d be happy in Starclan with Firestar, Ravenpaw, Sandstorm, Briarlight and Millie. I need mental help I can’t decide which is better tho Oh and Silverstream and Feathertail
I love this map because I remember being so unsatisfied with Firestars death in the books and the animation gave it a whole new perspective and personally, I think it’s much better.!
I cant take it, i read the books as well and im sitting here crying while writing. At first i thought i dont know if i like it but when the end comes around and greystipe gos down to his friend.... i cant.... it hit me too hard... i need to stop now or i cant calm myself down. This video did it... it made a 21 yo m cry like a baby.... 10 min later: Ok i calmed down, I love This map, I love the animation but i have to say for me They are just best friends, nothing more and definetly nothing less. and even when you hate the concept of Firegray, you can always just watch it whith the assumption that they are not more than friend and it would still make sence. It is Beutifull how the map shows ther friendship (in my eyes not love) from the beginning to the verry end... Have a nice day :3
Personally I only view these two as good friends, but I still find this so adorable! Fire Star and Gray Stripe were the sweetest little friends, and this map shows that, even though intended to portray love interests instead. Definitely one of my favourite maps now ❤️
This map just makes me remember how Firststar was originally gonna be a female and become GrayStripe’s -mate- Edit: And I still ship it Edit 2: how did this get 108 likes...
i am absolutely 👏 OBSESSED 👏 with every second of this map! the au is wonderfully written, the pacing is exquisite, the art is gorgeous, the song choice is perfect. some of these parts were the most tender moments i've ever seen in a warriors map: graystripe's confession, their first time seeing the kits, their reunion... i was choking back tears by the end of this. i remember that when i first made amvs for this ship, people took it as an opportunity to be misogynistic towards sandstorm, silverstream, and millie, and it sucked big time. it's such a relief to see firegray content that includes and respects women. thank you to the artists and the host for all of this fantastic work! 💖
I think that firestar and sandstorms friendship to relationship was extremely rushed, and is slightly toxic. Sandstorm and dustpelt hated firestar when they were apprentices, and then for some reason, sandstorm likes him? Fire gray sounds much more reasonable, they got along great, they were best friends, firestar made him his deputy and was absolutely devastated when he didn't return
Don't really agree with Firegray but with your point of Firestars and Sandstorms toxicity in their relationship, doesn't it remind you of Brambleclaw and Squirrelflight's relationship at first? People say he's still toxic but I'm only on the third series, sooo..
Honestly, how do you think they were rushed? They took nearly 4 books till they bacame mates. Nothing is wrong that sandstorm ended up loving him. Graystripe is simply just a best friend! Wouldn't you find it awkward to be heavily shipped with your best friend? I am disgusted by this map. The animation was amazing, but the whole idea is straight up nasty!!!
*in this map, firestar is still a boy and they are in a gay relationship*
hey guys! i'm glad you're enjoying the map!
This is one of the best au maps I’ve ever seen
「 【 Distant Drift 】」 its an au, not based on the books, also you mean Leafkit?
@@xentts that's because sandstorm was a surrogate mother! please make sure to read the description!

Ah very cute map I loved it! However I have a question. In part of the map there is Sandstorm revealing leafkit and Squirrelkit, how does that tie in to fire-gray?
FireStar: I’ll be with you soon
Graystripe: **lives forever and becomes the queen of England**
Lol true
Lol Greystripe is never going to die he will live up to 1000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 years old I hope or longer XD
Mistystar: *you dare oppose me mortal*
Noo queen of england is mistystar cuz shes the oldest and shes a leader so thst fits more but eh
Nice profile pic you got there
“I’ll be with you soon enough”
And then gaystripe just lives forever
*Logic*
Rootspring The tree child
Greystripe lives on the become the queen of England
Riley Richards, he would be the best queen England has ever had-
I just realized what I said and now I’m thinking about it XD
yes, "'gay'stripe", this describes the map
Lol
Just Imagine Firestar came to Greystripe in a dream and said, "No homo by the way" and then the dream ended.
nooo xd
I would sue lmao
Omg I wishhh
NO AHAHAU
Dude plz no-

Just dudes being (extremely gay) dudes 😎👍

Lololll
Glad too see this is still the top comment-
And they were clanmates.
**Does anyone know where I referenced the joke?**
just guys bein dudes
Just doods being doods
just a couple of doods bein gey
they be doin gay doe 😳
What's better than this? Guys being dudes. Cats being warriors.
Yes just two dudes being gay
Y'know, in the books, when the two-legs take graystripe, it was seid that firestar chased after the van until his pads where torn and bleeding from the concrete and even then sandstorm had to yell after him to stop. She convinces him against going after him a few scenes afterwards, firestar being full prepared to drop everything and go on a cross country crusade to find his best friend.
He still can't bring himself to name a new deputy, completely heart broken and unable to face the idea that the cat that's been with him sints the very start of his journey might be dead.
Although their where only ever the best of friends in cannon, I still find their bond very emotive. They truly were the original dynamic duo
Firestar wasn't there when greystripe got taken away. Your second point is a bit true though,Firestar did come around in his own time but named brambleclaw deputy
I think your thinking of when cloud paw got taken away by the two legs

Ikr.
Same
What happens if Graystripe will live forever and The erin hunters will never kill him what happens if graystripe is a demi-god. And when i searched up who is the oldest cat in warrior cats they said blackstar, and I am like no it is graystrip
Or Mistystar lmao
Ravenpaw’s spirit is with Barley, so idk better keep that feelings until they change it so that the 3 meet again one day. Hopefully
I love how instead of Firestar’s perspective, the host takes a chance to make Greystripe the protagonist. This ship is so underrated and I swear anyone who doesn’t will never get there kneecaps back- 👏👏👏
True
Yesss 😌
im ready to remove them if needed 🔨
I don't really like the ship that much, Firestar had a loving mate his whole life and Greystripe had two. He was very much in love with Silverstream and then Millie. I know they're very close in the books but that's because they're best friends. Firestar knew Greystripe ever since he joined the clan, so ofc they'll be very close. But of course, you can ship whoever you want

@@aharpy and historians will call them friends, best friends if you will
the fact that Firestar still believed that Graystripe would come back and wouldn't make a new deputy shows how much firestar had faith in him.
What if Graystripe met Firestar in StarClan after Firestar died?
Graystripe was padding through a wood, the starlight illuminating the beautiful forest around him. He felt cats walking beside him but he didn’t know who. He kept on walking, feeling a lot younger. He knew it was a dream, but he didn’t know where he was. It was a beautiful land, clear streams and young strong trees, hills folding over the land and great mountains rising on the horizon. He sat down on a hill, under an oak, looking out at the line.
“You’ve found me,” came a voice from behind him. Graystripe turned his head around, confusion rippling under his pelt, then his breath caught in his throat.
Pelt like flame, eyes like stars, stood.. 𝙃𝙞𝙢.
“...Firestar..?”
Graystripes voice was a whisper, a whimper, a fantasy. Firestar stepped forward, pelt soaked in stars. Graystripe jumped to his paws, running towards his friend, whom he hadn’t seen in so long. He buried his head in Firestars’ shoulder, and Firestar in his.
“I’ve missed you so much, my old friend. Its just not the same without you. It’s not the same...” he felt his throat close up in emotion. Firestar looked him in the eyes, repeating what he’d said previously.
“You found me. And here we are now. You’ll be with me yet, Graystripe, but I came to see you before that. One more sunrise, one more with you. That’s all I wish before I join StarClan.” His voice cracked with emotion.
Firestar led Graystripe back to the tree on the hill, and they sat side by side. Graystripes’ heart was full of sorrow, and at the same time, love. He’d never felt more happy, sitting here, next to Firestar, looking out at the horizon.

To me greystripe is like the ash after a fire he represents how he always calmed down firestar and firestar would never have gone anywhere with out his best friend at his side
I mean firestar has got a flame pelt
And greystripe is grey like ash
So that makes sense,,
ashfur x firestar confirmed
Y e s
but he did go somewhere without his best friend by his side-
Terri Ezell no-
In Graystripe's Vow Graystripe actually thinks of how he misses Firestar more than how he misses Silverstream or Millie combined.
*Hmmm*
Fellas, is thinking of a guy more than anyone else gay?
Who he misses the most
Firestar: 1000%
Millie: 100% (He was even talking to her)
Silverstream: 50%

I love the part at 3:32-3:40 because as Graystripe cries, you can actually see Graystripe breath in an out, and you can see the shallow breaths that he takes in while sobbing. It's so smooth too.

Hope you all keep the good work, cause this was absolutely beautiful!
That is just one of the million reasons I fricking love this map

Canonically you are correct, they did love eachother very much as friends, but this is an AU map. In this AU, they are mates.
Exactly! Just- awesome, love it so much
Wait where was silverstream?

This was great

Greystripe may have became mates with Silverstream and Millie, but ever since he met him, he wanted to be with Firestar.
Facts!
This person speaks facts-
Maybe Stormfur, Feathertail, Briarlight, Bumblestripe and Blossomfall could also be FireGray kits? With Silverstream and Millie being the surrogate mothers of course.
winter Ah true
Leafpool and Squirrelflight as well with a grumpy surrogate mate who's jealous about the wrong cat.
@@hails1218 that actually happened in the map, but sandstorm was positive about it.
@@pearlexquisite935 Holy hell, I literally didn't notice.
winter My thought was maybe Sandstorm would be with Millie and Graystripe or Firestar would be the donator for their kits which would be Briar, Bumble, and Blossom. Not sure how to fit in Silverstream. I love playing with AUs like this :)
It makes me so mad the in a Vision of Shadows it shows cats who never even met firestar disrespecting him and calling him bossy. I UGH my boy needs love!
I mean
He kinda do be bossy doe-
@@clouddii9575 what firestar are you thinking of?? like that is not firestar at all
Yes everyone is disrespectful to Grey and he just remember ing things about fire and Starclan is trapped, Grey is sad, I feel so sorry for Greystripe he is actually a cat that has deserved to live long and so was Firestar rip Fire oof
"Firestar was so bossy!"
Bramblestar: ... I'ma head out.
(but jokes aside I could see from a story telling perspective how Firestar could be seen as being bossy even though it was usually for the wellbeing of others and the clans in general. He did involve himself quite a bit into other clan business and help them even if they didn't want it which did backfire multiple times even with old friends from the clans like Mistystar and Onestar. Even Blackstar 😅).
@@clouddii9575 I think all leaders are bossy, but in a good way. I more think of Firestar as strict, because he still listens to his warriors and even apprentices ideas.
I don't know why but I cried so hard while watching this..
I miss Firepaw when he was training happily,
I miss Bluestar when she was healthy,
And I miss Graystripe, when he was there with Firestar.

It's so cool how there is a raven at the biggest turning points in both graystripes and firestar's lives. I love that this ship is a thing! (It also makes me so happy and gives me nostalgia to think that graystripe was the first ever clan cat that firestar had ever met, and his best friend!
Edit: I also think that Firestars death devastated graystripe the most. They had known each other since the beginning, and it's such an amazing ship/friendship!
The storytelling in this MAP is phenomenal, and every single animation is amazing. Everybody did an extraordinary job.
This reminds me of my cats, a ginger and a gray. They adore each other. One crys if he can’t find the other one

It is very important to note that it is cannon that Firestars last words were ‘no homo’ which thereby negates any and all romantic themes shown in this beautiful, gorgeous MAP.
Edit: ok but all jokes aside this timeline gives us a gay couple, three badass women staying single and living their best lives AND if I got the tones correct a much more positive light on adoption and surrogate mothers than TPoT, all things the series desperately needs.

@@espurrman55real*intro music starts playing*
This is just my hc to how Silver fits into this. Before Fire and gray were mates Gray was unsure about his feelings for fire. Unsure if he just admired him or if he loved him. So he turned to Silverstream. Silver loved Gray but gray realized he still had feelings for fire. And couldn’t just replace him. Silver ended up pregnant and didn’t tell gray. She had the kits in riverclan and didn’t die. She went back to thunder hoping to tell the news to gray explain that he was a father and even if she knew now that she would never be hers she just wanted to let him know, but what she found was a cream tabby named Sandstorm. The two hit it off. They bonded and realized that they loved each other. Now for the Mille / grey kits that was a surrogate for firegray’s second litter. And Millie was really involved in her kits upbringing. ( this is just a hc don’t burn me over the stake for this )

Honestly, this MAP was the first one to genuinely get me a bit teary eyed. I've never really thought about Fire x Gray, not in depth anyway, but this MAP is absolutely stunning, and I could feel their emotions so powerfully. Absolutely incredible work, and we love Sandstorm as always
so proud of you for persevering and getting the hard yakka in to get this done. it was so worth it, ive never watched a project that hit like this one. the collabs in this are testaments of what we can do when we work together and there are so many memories involved in this!! fof is such a beautiful video. everything from the script, the designs, the casting on who is in each part, you did so well. everyone put their absolute best in this. that last part is my favourite map part of all time, the movements are so heavy and real! i couldn't be prouder of everyone. look at all those gorgeous thumbnail entries. A+ work here.
The fact that they were originally going to be mates is just 👌👌👌
@3Cs Gaming And Animations Well, at the time Firestar was planned to be female, I’m still salty that these countries would block the books if they added gay relationships, and I’m saying this while there’s a Mardi Gras parade in my country
THIS MAP CAME OUT MONTHS AGO BUT I'M JUST NOW REALIZING THAT THE "TELL ME LOVE ME" LINE THAT FIRESTAR SINGS AS HE'S DYING JS THE SAME LINE AS GRAYSTRIPE'S CONFESSION AND NOW I'M WONDERING IF FIRESTAR REPEATED GRAY'S CONFESSION AS HIS LAST WORDS TO REASSURE HIM THAT HE LOVES HIM AND I-

This map is beautiful...Everyone that is in it did an amazing job 😸
This is one of the best ship maps I’ve ever fricking seen
I’m a Firegray shipper so of course this will make me happy but you don’t have to be a shipper to appreciate the total BEAUTY of this. Like the final product is just 100% BEAUTIFUL. This is one of my favourite maps ever now. And the desc made me tear up.
Me before to watch the map: Meh they are more friends than lovers but let's watch.
Me at the end of the map: Don't cry don't cry don't cry!
I MEAN, the animation is so smooth as we easily beleive it could happend! The part when Fire died and Gray cry over the body made me cry! (I rarely do that tho) IT.IS.AMAZING ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Fire on fire
I never really shipped the two at first but gradually as I read the books they could be far more than friends with this kind of history, the two have been together since the very beginning and the storyline of near every book he’s in just put into 4:57 minutes of animations is enough, and it felt like I was experiencing it all
Over again as I watched and felt firestars death different, but also as if for the first time. Yes I cried. But nonetheless without everything coming together like it did it wouldn’t have the impact , but on the animators part every👏single👏frame. Contained so much emotion in it and I loved it.

I love graystripe so much, he is my second. But if he died he would be with firestar and ravenpaw. I’m definitely not tired of graystripe I’m just saying.
watching this unearthed my old love for FireGray. it's so soft and tender, and genuinely everyone did such a lovely job!!
The sun clung willingly onto the hazy sky, illuminating the forest which lay beyond it, unmoving.
Graystripe padded along the hard forest interior, his normally aching muscles now relaxed.
Was he . . . young again?
The thought just nicked his ear, having him stop before observing the trees slowly closing in on him, falling behind. Eyes widening, he started to run, questions whirling inside of his head, creating a tornado of thoughts fogging his mind as he casted out, darting for the exit to this daydream.
As he ran, one paw over another, he stopped, as the faint glare of light seemed to polish his pelt, dropping his eyes warily onto the sight which lay before him.
A slim, handsome ginger tom sat beneath the sun, the light shining with promises onto his golden-orange fur, leaving no signs of any doubt or resentment. It’s burning green eyes held tight onto Graystripe with an expression he couldn’t recognize.
Graystripe kept his gaze fixed onto the cat, his thoughts awakening once more as he held in place, stuck. His eyes held themselves wide open, transfixed all around him, paws shaking beneath the soil that seemed to fall into a perfect place beneath his pads.
“Dear friend,”
the cat said, reaching a paw slightly outwards as the toms eyes started to stare, though becoming a soft, yet tired sight that simply cured Graystripes worries.
Graystripe was breath-taken; he couldn’t believe what was going on.
Was this . . . Firestar? He pinned his ears before beginning to take a closer look, one cautious paw in front of another. His mouth opened as he lost all words, throat closed with a whirl of different emotions, as he fumbled with his misshapen words.
“F-Firestar . . i-is it . . . really you?”
He asked, body flaring in shock as he began to stand still for a moment, pausing.
He stood there, astonished, before running up to his best friend as a purr escaped his body. His eyes started to fill with water. Tears treaded lightly into his thick pelt, exchanging a glance with Firestar he couldn’t remember ever doing before. Sniffing rapidly, he and Firestar began breaking into tears once more, knowing Graystripe wouldn’t be here forever, either.
Their tails entwined together as meant to be, before Graystripe gave a soft whisper.
“I love you.” He kept silent after that, leaning meaningfully into his friends soft chest, nose pressed against him.
“I love you too, Graystripe.” Firestar gave a quick lick to his friends chest, as the sun now seemed to catch beneath the horizon, giving its last moments way for Firestar and Graystripe, the wind itself carrying the words “I love you” in its faint howl.
The two friends
sat together as
the
world

I’ve been quiet about this map for a while, but I really have to say this. This is one of the most underrated maps I’ve ever watched and it deserves so much more attention. The amount of raw effort and emotion that was put into this really makes the FireGray ship seem like it’s actually part of the books. Especially the ending. Hell, I almost shed a few tears! Great job to all the participants that worked on this! Cheers to you!
Thanks to this MAP that just randomly popped in my recommendations one day, Warrior cats has gained a new fan. I just ordered the first three books and cant wait to read them.

As they say, there are about 170k words in the English language, but there's no combination to show how much I love this. I can't believe how amazing this is, The Five Giant's MAP is pretty much equal to how much I love this one. Everyone did amazing, this is a stunning piece.

Props to everyone that participated, and whoever is reading this too, I hope you have a magnificent 2020!
FireStar’s death isn’t what upset me. It was GreyStripe’s reaction. He was so upset, and it made me upset too 🥺😢
This MAP made it even more emotional
Books or map? Because uh… Sandstorm really did lose it…
SANDSTORM BEING A SURROGATE OMG I LOVE THIS
Aaaaaaaa yes I've shipped it for the longest time it's just so well-built.
Firestar even admitted that Graystripe was always his first priority, that he was his most trusted fellow.
In fire and ice he ached everyday when Graystripe was with Silverstream.
This reminds me of those disney princess ship edits (in a very good way) :)
OMG i didn't think about that earlier!!
this just made me ship them. literally crying right now. thank you, everyone.
I love that this MAP is told from Graystripe's perspective. He was such a huge character in the first arc, but of course Fireheart over powered that with his main character status, so it's amazing to see a MAP told from Graystripe's perspective that Fireheart has a big role in. This MAP is so beautiful!!
Lord God please please help my heart. This beautiful MAP legitimately made me cry. Each part flowed so beautifully and the AU is better than the books them selves oh no... this just touched me so much.. 100% favourite MAP ever
Graystripe is my favorite character. As much as I want him to live, I know he’d be happy in Starclan with Firestar, Ravenpaw, Sandstorm, Briarlight and Millie. I need mental help I can’t decide which is better tho
Oh and Silverstream and Feathertail
2:05 to 2:12 is absolutely AMAZING! My favorite part.
Edit: I also love how the jumps around 2:36 are PERFECTLY on time with the beat.
I love this map because I remember being so unsatisfied with Firestars death in the books and the animation gave it a whole new perspective and personally, I think it’s much better.!
I cant take it, i read the books as well and im sitting here crying while writing. At first i thought i dont know if i like it but when the end comes around and greystipe gos down to his friend.... i cant.... it hit me too hard... i need to stop now or i cant calm myself down. This video did it... it made a 21 yo m cry like a baby....
10 min later: Ok i calmed down, I love This map, I love the animation but i have to say for me They are just best friends, nothing more and definetly nothing less. and even when you hate the concept of Firegray, you can always just watch it whith the assumption that they are not more than friend and it would still make sence. It is Beutifull how the map shows ther friendship (in my eyes not love) from the beginning to the verry end... Have a nice day :3
Welp, when i read the books, they are friends to me, but when i watch the MAP, they're mates to me lol
Ngl i cried at the end. It was portrayed really well and is one of the saddest parts in the books.
2:21 I didn’t think i would cry tonight… this is an amazing piece of art.
Personally I only view these two as good friends, but I still find this so adorable! Fire Star and Gray Stripe were the sweetest little friends, and this map shows that, even though intended to portray love interests instead. Definitely one of my favourite maps now ❤️

i am absolutely 👏 OBSESSED 👏 with every second of this map! the au is wonderfully written, the pacing is exquisite, the art is gorgeous, the song choice is perfect. some of these parts were the most tender moments i've ever seen in a warriors map: graystripe's confession, their first time seeing the kits, their reunion... i was choking back tears by the end of this. i remember that when i first made amvs for this ship, people took it as an opportunity to be misogynistic towards sandstorm, silverstream, and millie, and it sucked big time. it's such a relief to see firegray content that includes and respects women. thank you to the artists and the host for all of this fantastic work! 💖
what a lovely comment to get!!!
I think that firestar and sandstorms friendship to relationship was extremely rushed, and is slightly toxic. Sandstorm and dustpelt hated firestar when they were apprentices, and then for some reason, sandstorm likes him? Fire gray sounds much more reasonable, they got along great, they were best friends, firestar made him his deputy and was absolutely devastated when he didn't return
Don't really agree with Firegray but with your point of Firestars and Sandstorms toxicity in their relationship, doesn't it remind you of Brambleclaw and Squirrelflight's relationship at first? People say he's still toxic but I'm only on the third series, sooo..
@@tigerclaw5374 Brambleclaw got worse the further the series gets. Bramblestar's storm was the worst i think
@@kyliviie2903 for me it’s squirrel flights novel he just acts so TOXIC
Honestly, how do you think they were rushed? They took nearly 4 books till they bacame mates. Nothing is wrong that sandstorm ended up loving him. Graystripe is simply just a best friend! Wouldn't you find it awkward to be heavily shipped with your best friend? I am disgusted by this map. The animation was amazing, but the whole idea is straight up nasty!!!
