———— Made this specifically for the ‘What If’ studio. But anyways, I was considering that Blue kinda only let Rusty In because of the prophecy, after all, Tiny didn’t get that grace, so say Rusty looked different? A classic what if Rusty didn’t join thunderclan story, but with a slightly different catalyst. I haven’t reread the canon series for a while, so their personalities might be off. Also, Rusty is more reddish-brown in this. Also, I doubt Starclan is actually strong enough to summon meteors, so, in this at least, we’re gonna assume they just had great timing, and only said fire because the meteor was on fire, assuming surely some flame colored cat they can mold into the perfect cat is out there somewhere, right? I’m calling this the Non-Flame Rusty AU if anyone wants me to continue this. —————
