A life for love- that's the life Spottedleaf gives Firestar. How very symbolic. I have mixed feelings on this ship. Reasons I don't like it: 1. 5 YEAR AGE GAP. for humans, this isn't a lot. cats only live 2-3 years if feral (realistically) or 12-18 years if domesticated. So, yeah, weird. 2. They had like 4 conversations while living. None with any romantic suggestion at all except "she's pretty". All these convos were about herbs, except for that one where she tells him the prophecy. 3. This ship just isnt realistic. The majority of their interactions are while she dead and hes with another cat (a ship i like much better). I do like it sometimes, tho. Bc however unrealistic it is, they made each other happy.
Quotes: "But I never stopped watching, never gave up on trying to help him. I walked with him in dreams, shared his fears, guided him with all the knowledge that being in StarClan gave me." “The truth is, I love Firestar now as much as I ever did, and I'll watch over him forever, knowing that he can never be mine. He belongs to Sandstorm and to ThunderClan. But my heart is his, and always will be.” "I know what it is to love, although my path was different from yours. Who knows—if I had lived, I might have suffered what you are suffering now." "That was never going to happen, my love. I cannot journey with you anymore. I'm so sorry."
