xxiii. trio's split au

Instructions

I have been wondering for a while now, how the Trio would act, and how their lives would’ve gone, had they been born as three separate cats, and not with the cerberus trait. So, the following is what I imagine for them, in an alternate universe, where the Trio are split. This is basically me just having fun, don't worry about how detailed I get about some of the most random stuff. Just a note: this writing is terrible, i did not take this very seriously lol So, let’s go back to the beginning. The three are all AMAB, found by Rhododendrondread and Rosyburn at the age of three moons, named Magicalkit, Mythicalkit, and Mysticalkit respectively. Magical is the oldest, then Myth, then Myst. During their kithood, they will be pretty close, however Magicalkit and Mythicalkit enjoy playfighting, while Myst prefers to stay inside. Myth most likely gets into trouble for wandering outside of camp, or trying to follow apprentices out of camp. Magicalkit is too sensible to do so, though wanting to, and Mysticalkit doesn’t find any interest in that. Myst’s obsession with the stars, and dislike of fighting soon draws them to want to become a medicine cat, but Magicalkit shares the same interest, so Myst concedes in favour of letting Magicalkit become the medicine cat apprentice. Myth happily becomes a warrior apprentice. Myst comes out as non-binary at the age of six moons (they/them), as they did irp. Magicalkit, no longer feeling the weight of being just one part of a whole cat or feeling she needs to be like her siblings, is more comfortable with her identity, and comes out as trans female at the age of 10 moons, rather than when she was a warrior as she does irp. Mags buries herself in her duties as a medicine apprentice, but finds herself somewhat intrigued by the activities that her brother gets up to, and is upset that she spends such little time with him, however, she enjoys the work she does. Myst harbours some resentment for not getting the position of medicine cat apprentice, but this is overblown by their delight in seeing their sister happy. Myst, however, is held back from becoming a warrior, as they cannot seem to grasp the skills required, however hard they try. Myth is excelling, something that everyone in his life is somewhat surprised by, as he isn’t quite known for his aptitude in.. anything. But he enjoys exploring and hunting, though perhaps earning himself a few scars from dangerous stunts. Myst, too, earned themself a few scars, but not from lack of caution, rather, being too forgiving in battle, and receiving wounds for their trustingness. They admonish Myth frequently for his escapades, going too close to the borders or being too nosy at gatherings, so he stops confiding in them, slowly drawing away. Mags, being in the medicine den, is also drifting apart from her siblings, as she is in separate dens, doing separate duties, and as she grows older, and more well-trained, she becomes more needed. Mythicalpaw becomes a warrior at 12 moons old, earning himself the name Mythicalflame, for his passion for his role, and for his loyalty to Pyroclan, in defending borders, etc. (different from his irp name; Mythicalweb that he received after becoming a med cat alongside the others, which was in reference to him being "caught in a web" and reluctant to be a medicine cat). Magicalpaw is then named Magicalthorn at 14 moons old, for her prickliness toward others, - this name becoming more fitting as she ages, which I will explain later on. (irp, she is Magicalspark, for her intelligence and fiery attitude). Mysticalpaw is named at the same time as Magicalspark, being called Mysticalfawn, for their soft disposition, rather than for any talents they had in their role (varying from irp, where they are Mysticalstep, for constantly allowing their siblings to define their path/steps). At around 16 moons old, Mythicalflame meets the cat who will eventually become his mate, and Magicalspark is distinctly jealous, as it finally sinks in that she accepted a role that meant she would never have a mate. It is around this time that Mysticalstep will recognise the fact that they are aroace. They support their brother’s relationship, and are happy for him. At the age of 23 moons old, Myth has a litter of three kits with his mate, the kits I’m gonna call Mousekit, Moosekit and Moonkit. No I never mention their names ever again, idk why I gave them names but they have names now. However, he is soon restless, and spends little time in the nursery, wanting to keep to his warrior duties. Myst notices, and steps in to babysit, allowing Myth’s mate to take a break. When the kits become apprentices, Myst realises that they miss being in the nursery, and are upset about going back to their warrior duties full time. They decide they want to become a full-time queen, taking care of kits rather than being a warrior. +++ [ see Notes and Credits ]
