SUMMARY of AU! (Most important thing is basically that Leafpool ended up with Crowfeather but confided in Dogheart, they weren't mates^!) An AU in which Swiftpaw survived the dog attack. He was injured farther than Brightheart and like Brightheart also received a name for his actions, rather than Lostface, Bluestar gave him the name of Dogheart, for his foolish actions and results. Brightheart was capable of continuing as a Warrior but Swiftpaw/Dogheart was not, and took the path of a medicine cat to still feel as though he's helping his clan. Even after Brightheart has lost the name of Lostface, Swiftpaw decides to keep the name of Dogheart, believing he deserves it for his ignorance. He leads a life mentored by Cinderpelt, making it so that Leafpool never became a medicine cat, and eventually receiving Jayfeather (Jaypaw) as his own apprentice. He becomes an astounding medicine cat but never forgets his potential life of a warrior, remaining close with his previous mentor Longtail until he passes away, leaving him heart broken. After Cinderpelt's death and before Jayfeather, Leafpool confides in Dogheart when she becomes pregnant with Crowfeather's kits and Dogheart takes it better than expected, explaining that he knows the feeling of guilt in a situation that shouldn't have happened (the dog attack) and gives her herbs to stop her milk. Jayfeather grows close to Dogheart in his life and Jayfeather becomes considerably angry when he finds out that Dogheart knew that Leafpool was his mother. Their bond is fixed after Flametail's death, Jayfeather being distraught that he couldn't save him, Dogheart comforts him. Throughout his life, he's faced with many challenges, but none worse than the rising threat of the Dark Forest. Dogheart is offered a place in the Dark Forest, persuaded to join by the fact that he deserved more out of life than what was left of him after the dog attack. Dogheart refuses, but does not choose the side of Starclan either, rather choosing the side of his clan. His faith slowly begins to dwindle in Starclan as he focuses more on helping his clan than anything. Dogheart stays ready to defend his clan during the battle against the Dark Forest and is drawn out of his den when he spots Longtail fighting with his former clanmate Darkstripe and losing the battle. He successfully protects Longtail but not without losing his own life. Knowing his clan is safe and that he's served them well, Dogheart is finally able to rest easy, Longtail leading him to the afterlife.
Thelifeofatatertot Taylor Nichols yes he would but o don’t think he would give up bright heart so easily, after all, he loved her alot, and if he survived bright heart would have chosen him as her mate, not cloud tail (most likely)
I think if he had survived and become a warrior, instead of dog heart, he should of been swift wing, as he had freedom to fly and bravery more then anyone can compare to, it just fits him realy well, as he has his own wings now
well, if we're being technical, due to the state bluestar was in during the attack, she would have been hostile to starclan which lead her to naming brightheart the way she did before, so it would make sense for her either naming swiftpaw (or dogheart in this case) dogheart or giving him a name relating to a permanent injury from the attack, like she did with brightheart
Okay officially my favorite AU for Swiftpaw. He definitely deserved more than he got and in the end I loved the idea that he was Jayfeather's mentor and fought against the dark forest to save Longtail. This AU version of Swiftpaw/Dogheart deserves his place in StarClan.

Of all the deaths in the first arc, Swiftpaw's was one of the ones that hit me the hardest, alongside Badgerfang and Yellowfang's, so I really appreciate this map. Something about his untimely demise always just stuck with me
I'm super duper glad to see the this map complete ! (Unfortunately the links in the description are not working) But hey thanks for the credit ! This map is awesome
This is actually really interesting to see because I think SwiftPaw really did deserve to live but sadly didn’t and for him to have a life past that time makes me really happy
I cry every time I hear this song, the original songs video is about a kid that can breathe right but he did it all and wants to live life the way he should.
@@aussiethecat here’s an Idea- FlutteringBird from Dawn of the Clans. I really Wished They Could Have been in the books more, Dawn of the Clans Was my first book I didn’t know anything about the Series so I picked a random character from the front and said “this will be my favorite” terrible method I know, But they were The First Character gone I wished We Could have seen More of them- Sorry for the long comment ^..^
Many people asre asking some things so.. -If Leafpool wasn't a medicine cat, why did she hid that she had kits since queens don't need to tell who the father is? •I don't know, I don't remember this in the original AU, but I think she was too much scared to know what to do. No Swiftheart? •No, Swiftpaw became a medicine cat. Not a warrior. And in the books they never showed that they were in love with each other, as the original creator said, it is Brightheart's nature to don't leave anyone behind. -Why he became a med. Cat if Brightheart was clearly more injured? •If I remember well, he lost a part of his tail, so he almost had Halftail's problems. And he also wanted to become a Med. Cat so he could save other cat's lifes instead of putting them in danger like Brightheart. -Why Firestar didn't gave him a new name? •Firestar offered Dogheart a new name, but Dogheart refused, he though that he deserved his name for what he done to Brightheart -Why Dogheart? •In warriors, dogs are seen as danger, so Dogheart would be Bluestar's way to say that Dogheart was dangerous after almost killing Lostface.
More answers^ (Thanks for bringing this up!) Why did Leafpool have to hide her kits? She still had a forbidden relationship with Crowfeather so it was still against the code and unlike the situation with Bluestar and her kits there wasn't a Thrushpelt to claim her kits as his own, except for the fact that Squirrelflight was her Thrushpelt in a sense No Swiftheart? I'm sorry but I don't personally ship them because having read and reread the books a few times specifically looking out for Swiftheart, there was more foreshadowing to the fact that Brightheart and Cloudtail were going to get together than them two and I believe they were just friends! You're welcome to your opinion but that's mine- also in this map specifically, he became a medicine cat and was very loyal to his clan and the code after seeing what happens when rules are broken so he would not have taken Brightheart as a mate regardless :) Why did he become a med cat? Yep, primarily the tail problem as you can see in this one it's got a broken look to it, making it basically disfunctional for balancing use as well as the fact that his injuries led to his body not being able to move how it basically should be able to in general while all Brightheart lost was an eye which she was able to learn to work with!
(I totally misexplained this) I updated the description with a more accurate one, leafpool was a warrior, ended up with crowfeather, and confided in Dogheart/Swiftpaw with the fact that she was pregnant as he understood what it was like to break the rules with a less than expected outcome so he chooses to help her (thus why Jay and him get in an argument later when Jay finds out he knew but didn't tell him)
Honestly, Brightheart is such an underrated character, and the idea of her being able to bear her scars proudly with Swiftpaw (Dogheart) by her side, makes me want to cry with joy. Thank you!
AHHHHhhh this is definitely by FAR my favourite MAP I’ve ever been in. Thank you so much for letting me be a part of it. It’s just amazing!! Everyone has done amazingly.
I love this AU and MAP so much! I see the scar on his neck and keep headcanoning that he's mute or at least has more difficulty speaking than he used to which is the main reason why he was unable to be a warrior.
I absolutely adore this AU and I think it was scripted well. The animation is stunning and it's clear that everyone who worked on this put a lot of hard work into this. My only question is about Leafpool and her kits. If she wasn't a medicine cat in this AU, why did she still give up her kits? There have been other queens who had half-clan kits yet kept their litters while only keeping the father secret. I'm sorry if this sounds like an accusation or something negative, it was just a genuine question I had. I don't know if anyone else asked this already, so I apologize again if someone has. Regardless, this is amazing. Wonderful job to each artist.
I was just scrolling through RUclips, was not prepared to be hit by extreme nostalgia both from a warriors map that reminds me of the early ones, but this song...
This AU is amazing!! It’s so well thought through and i love the medicine cat/ saving Longtail twist at the end, and him actually losing and finally joining starclan. The Flashbacks at the end caught me off guard :’( I love this so freaking much But wait so are Dogheart and Leafpool a thing and the entire conflicts still plays out which is why Jay is angry with him etc?
Sorry I didn't explain the last bit! Leafpool lived her life as a warrior but still ended up with Crowfeather, she confides in Dogheart about this, seeking herbs to hide her pregnancy, Dogheart takes it well considering he knows what it's like to make a foolish mistake and knows how it feels to be treated badly about it, so he tries to be understanding, offering her herbs to help. :)
I really like this! Only thing I don't see explained is leafpool staying in thunderclan? In the books the only reason she didn't run away was because of her medicine cat duties as the last medicine cat in the clan, so why wouldn't she of run away with crowfeather if she's not a medicine cat in this? Also, I do agree that swiftheart wouldn't of happened after the attack..he'd probably feel so much guilt for hurting her in his dumb plan and thus would refuse to be mates with her (he'd be happy for cloudtail and her), along with being a medicine cat (he'd take his duties seriously and wouldn't take a mate).
I think Swiftpaw, if becoming a medicine cat, would reincarnate like Cinderpelt, because he was meant to be a warrior, but it was thwarted by Tigerstar. My only question for this AU, is why isn't Brightheart the Medic instead, when she's physically disabled, while it seems in this AU, Swiftpaw just has insane scars.
If he was a warrior, his name would probably be Swiftstorm. He attacked the dogs like a storm, swift, desperate, and dangerous. That is just my opinion. Still, good job on thjs!
I never would have thought his name would be that. Fits him, though. I will sometimes draw him with the name of Swiftcoot,because he is so fast. Love the map, thank you for making it!
It's from a video by Memento that recently actually got taken down! I may ask her if I can do a recap of it for those who didn't get to see the video :)
Hey to everyone who helped in this map y'all did an awesome job because the plot and art are just amazing and I'm very happy that everyone did what they did in this because honestly I have a soft spot for some cats and Swiftpaw (W. Dogheart ) is one of them and there's a reason why but he deserved to live and everyone who did something (the plot or art) showed what would have happened if he did live so thank you
I’m curious if swift paw became a medicine cat and was mentored by cinderfur did leaf pool become a warrior and Jay feather just be swift paws apprentice???
I love this AU so much, although I got a little confused in the end on who was who, I guess that’s just me. And the description of the AU in the comments helped a lot.
Holy hell, thanks for not making them become mates or something- _they’re cousins_ (Edit 'cause someone asked but deleted their reply: Swift's mom is Goldenflower and Bright's dad is Lionheart. Lionheart and Goldenflower are littermates ^^)
i think that swiftpaw would be an interesting medicine cat but if he lived i dont think i'd want to see him as a medicine cat cause in my eyes he would always be a warrior in brightheart's words "I don't know when the end came for swiftpaw. I only remember him fighting like all of lionclan. thats how i will always remember him". im still in love with this AU and i dont have anything against it!
Swiftpaw should have been given a warrior name in StarClan like Badgerfang did. He went out fighting with bravery and like a warrior, so he should he treated like one.
0:17 What I think bluestar is saying right in this snap is that she was disappointed in swiftpaw because he could've been like a dog with those scars because of her view. You know. Her and her trauma.
This song always hits my heart. After my one year old younger brother died my older sister made memorial video for him and this the song it was set to.
Just imagine what would happen with If swiftpaw lived after the attack. Its so crazy to think about if im being honest. Btw this is a beautiful map and it deserves more attention! ^^ ❤️
Help tho Bright Heart crying from her empty eye socket- (gurl lost her eye she cant cry like...) also btw who is the starclan cat the he saved at the end?

Why did Leafpool have to hide her kits?
She still had a forbidden relationship with Crowfeather so it was still against the code and unlike the situation with Bluestar and her kits there wasn't a Thrushpelt to claim her kits as his own, except for the fact that Squirrelflight was her Thrushpelt in a sense
No Swiftheart?
I'm sorry but I don't personally ship them because having read and reread the books a few times specifically looking out for Swiftheart, there was more foreshadowing to the fact that Brightheart and Cloudtail were going to get together than them two and I believe they were just friends! You're welcome to your opinion but that's mine- also in this map specifically, he became a medicine cat and was very loyal to his clan and the code after seeing what happens when rules are broken so he would not have taken Brightheart as a mate regardless :)
Why did he become a med cat?
Yep, primarily the tail problem as you can see in this one it's got a broken look to it, making it basically disfunctional for balancing use as well as the fact that his injuries led to his body not being able to move how it basically should be able to in general while all Brightheart lost was an eye which she was able to learn to work with!
So Leafpool was just a warrior then? Or is it that Swiftpaw became the 3s father too???
(I totally misexplained this) I updated the description with a more accurate one, leafpool was a warrior, ended up with crowfeather, and confided in Dogheart/Swiftpaw with the fact that she was pregnant as he understood what it was like to break the rules with a less than expected outcome so he chooses to help her (thus why Jay and him get in an argument later when Jay finds out he knew but didn't tell him)

I'M SO HAPPY FOR BEING IN THIS :D
Amazing idea! Love the name Dogheart! I love how this played out and how you represented each character. Beautiful MAP :) 💖
Yay I’m so happy that it’s done! It looks amazing great job everybody!
I absolutely adore this AU and I think it was scripted well. The animation is stunning and it's clear that everyone who worked on this put a lot of hard work into this. My only question is about Leafpool and her kits. If she wasn't a medicine cat in this AU, why did she still give up her kits? There have been other queens who had half-clan kits yet kept their litters while only keeping the father secret. I'm sorry if this sounds like an accusation or something negative, it was just a genuine question I had. I don't know if anyone else asked this already, so I apologize again if someone has. Regardless, this is amazing. Wonderful job to each artist.
This was one of my best friends song before he passed and this song makes me miss him but knowing he’s not gone for ever *rip Jake from sage*
I was just scrolling through RUclips, was not prepared to be hit by extreme nostalgia both from a warriors map that reminds me of the early ones, but this song...
This MAP and AU just always brings me to tears.. it's such a wonderful, beautiful, amazingly crafted..
oh gosh i can't believe i missed this! it came out beautifully, everyone! i'm so glad i was able to be a part of such a wonderful project
This AU is amazing!! It’s so well thought through and i love the medicine cat/ saving Longtail twist at the end, and him actually losing and finally joining starclan. The Flashbacks at the end caught me off guard :’( I love this so freaking much
But wait so are Dogheart and Leafpool a thing and the entire conflicts still plays out which is why Jay is angry with him etc?
Sorry I didn't explain the last bit! Leafpool lived her life as a warrior but still ended up with Crowfeather, she confides in Dogheart about this, seeking herbs to hide her pregnancy, Dogheart takes it well considering he knows what it's like to make a foolish mistake and knows how it feels to be treated badly about it, so he tries to be understanding, offering her herbs to help. :)
I really like this! Only thing I don't see explained is leafpool staying in thunderclan? In the books the only reason she didn't run away was because of her medicine cat duties as the last medicine cat in the clan, so why wouldn't she of run away with crowfeather if she's not a medicine cat in this?
Also, I do agree that swiftheart wouldn't of happened after the attack..he'd probably feel so much guilt for hurting her in his dumb plan and thus would refuse to be mates with her (he'd be happy for cloudtail and her), along with being a medicine cat (he'd take his duties seriously and wouldn't take a mate).
I think Swiftpaw, if becoming a medicine cat, would reincarnate like Cinderpelt, because he was meant to be a warrior, but it was thwarted by Tigerstar. My only question for this AU, is why isn't Brightheart the Medic instead, when she's physically disabled, while it seems in this AU, Swiftpaw just has insane scars.
true
This song is so perfect for him I just now got done reading Omen of the Stars rip firestar
THISS MAP LOOKS SO DANG GOOD
Not to be rude but
1:02 a branch fell on longtail and he died. Not a tree, *but a branch*
Yeah, that's what it was in the video. A branch. Although the artist of the piece did draw it a bit large, that's not the fault of the MAP host.
It turned out amazing!!!
This is criminally underrated wth I love this so much! You all did so well!
This is all the ppl who want this to be canon
⬇️⬇️⬇️
If he was a warrior, his name would probably be Swiftstorm. He attacked the dogs like a storm, swift, desperate, and dangerous. That is just my opinion. Still, good job on thjs!
This map and AU in general is outstanding! Great job!
YEE THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE SONGS THANK YOU!!!
GOSH DANG IT RUclips WHY CAN’T I LIKE THIS MORE THAN ONCE!
OMG YESSSSSSSSSSSSS ITS OUT AAA ITS AWESOME!!
I never would have thought his name would be that. Fits him, though. I will sometimes draw him with the name of Swiftcoot,because he is so fast. Love the map, thank you for making it!
We really, really need a "what if so-and-so lived" MAP for Gorsepaw too!
He had so much potential.
Oo I love this idea! I've considered maing the "If (cat) lived" a series so I'll consider this, thank you!
@@aussiethecat Fantastic to hear! I look forward to see what you come up with!
Where did you get his awesome idea?! It's a really cool AU!
It's from a video by Memento that recently actually got taken down! I may ask her if I can do a recap of it for those who didn't get to see the video :)
The AU is as amazing as the MAP, I love it so much!!!
Bro.... this is so cool!!!! I love this idea that swiftpaw lived and became a medicine cat.! :000
ok i’ve never felt so proud and sad at any other MAP in my life????? The storyline is perfect and the song is just- *a h*
AAAA this map turned out amazing!! Everyone did such an amazing job ;0; Tysm for letting me be a part of this!!
oh I'm so glad this is done! It turned out amazing!
OMG IM SOO PROUD OF YOUU
Oh gosh I'm not sure if this is directed at me or not but thank you hah!
@@aussiethecat Ofc It was for you!!! You are doing amazing, and Its soo cool to see your chanel grow
@@milktea3985 Oh wow thank you so much!!
One of the best songs ever, and completely fit for Swiftpaw!
Ok, but like, this is absolutely glorious and I can't believe I didn't know of it's existence until now
I LOVE THIS AU SO MUCH
the video is good no... Great!
Good job to all the artists!
Oh my gosh. I'm literally crying. *Claps* Great job everyone, great job.
Hey to everyone who helped in this map y'all did an awesome job because the plot and art are just amazing and I'm very happy that everyone did what they did in this because honestly I have a soft spot for some cats and Swiftpaw (W. Dogheart ) is one of them and there's a reason why but he deserved to live and everyone who did something (the plot or art) showed what would have happened if he did live so thank you
Crystal The wolf thanks dude ^^
Thank u :D
I’m curious if swift paw became a medicine cat and was mentored by cinderfur did leaf pool become a warrior and Jay feather just be swift paws apprentice???
For some reason I love the paws that Swiftpaw has when it’s close to the end 😍😍
BEAUTIFUL! YES! YES! THIS IS UNDERRATED :O
this is AMAZINGGGGG I LOVE IT SM
One of my favorite songs! This is awesome :D
This was the AU we needed
Omgggg turned out so good! Love this!
I LOVE THIS! SO CUTE AND ITS JUST AMAZING!
I love this AU so much, although I got a little confused in the end on who was who, I guess that’s just me. And the description of the AU in the comments helped a lot.
Holy hell, thanks for not making them become mates or something-
_they’re cousins_
(Edit 'cause someone asked but deleted their reply: Swift's mom is Goldenflower and Bright's dad is Lionheart. Lionheart and Goldenflower are littermates ^^)
i think that swiftpaw would be an interesting medicine cat but if he lived i dont think i'd want to see him as a medicine cat cause in my eyes he would always be a warrior in brightheart's words "I don't know when the end came for swiftpaw. I only remember him fighting like all of lionclan. thats how i will always remember him". im still in love with this AU and i dont have anything against it!
My favorite song and my favorite character! My life is complete now))
3:21 was my favorite part! So smooth!
mmm yummy an au that would have made the books so much better
(other than the fact Leafpool probably would have sucked as a warrior :/)
Swiftpaw should have been given a warrior name in StarClan like Badgerfang did. He went out fighting with bravery and like a warrior, so he should he treated like one.
0:17
What I think bluestar is saying right in this snap is that she was disappointed in swiftpaw because he could've been like a dog with those scars because of her view.
You know. Her and her trauma.
I'm angry swiftpaw never survived
AH THIS WAS A GOOD IDEA FOR A MAP! I see my close friend Leopardflower participated so that made me even happier
This map was beautiful! Mwaa 👌🏼! I loved it!
I bet Erin Hunter is so proud of her books and seeing her characters in maps
That means she is proud of y’all
Good job!
YES THIS IS SUCH A COOL IDEA AND IT TURNED OUT SO WELL!
This song always hits my heart. After my one year old younger brother died my older sister made memorial video for him and this the song it was set to.
This is beautiful.
It would be weird for him to be med cat bc the entire reason he got himself killed was to become a warrior?
Wow that was actually really interesting! I’d still rather leafpool as a medicine cat tho, but it would have been pretty cool if Swiftpaw survived tho
Such a great map I'm crying! So much better
than I could ever do!
If only this really happened in the series!
*sniffs and wipes tears* THIS IS BEAUTIFUL 🥺
when i saw the fametail died part: T-T WHO ON EARTH OUT THERE SUPPORTS ROCK FOR MAKING JAYFEATHER DROWN FLAMETAIL?!?!?!?!
Jayfeather didn't drown him , flametail
Sank too deep so there was no point in both of them drowning.
I love this so much!! I cried over Swiftpaw's death...
Although I feel like he and Brightheart would have become mates and changed the fate of the books
He and Brightheart are cousins so that would have been disgusting
@@llamaniaman4002 graystripes parents are literally siblings but ok lmao
@@Didi-vp3sj ?? That doesn't make it okay? lmao
OMG I LOVE THIS
Just imagine what would happen with If swiftpaw lived after the attack. Its so crazy to think about if im being honest.
Btw this is a beautiful map and it deserves more attention! ^^ ❤️
Swiftpaw deserves ALL the LOVE
LIKE THE VIDEO FOR LOVE FOR SWIFTPAW
If swiftpaw were to become a medicine cat I wonder if he’d be reincarnated like Cinderpelt as they both wanted nothing more than to be a warrior
This map is awesome! 💜💙
Thank you!
@@aussiethecat 😸
this is adorable! made me tear up! everyone did such a great job 💕
Help tho Bright Heart crying from her empty eye socket- (gurl lost her eye she cant cry like...) also btw who is the starclan cat the he saved at the end?
