That was absolutely amazing! The entire course of the story would have been changed if Silverstream survived, and I loved that you explored a bit of it.
Thank you! Yeah, I do (though sadly) agree with the author's choice of Silverstream's death, as it caused such great character development in several characters (particularly Cinderpaw), but I also remember crying when I read that part. I loved Silverstream and Graystripe's relationship so much, and the fact that it ended so suddenly was shocking. It was nice to be able to see what might have happened if she had survived, even if it does feel a little too good to be true.
And darn that sneaky Tigerclaw.
