A/N: Hello to any and all readers! Before I begin this story, I want to leave a little authors note meant to clear things up a bit.

So, this fanfic is essentially meant as a rewrite of Into The Wild. As you can probably tell by my username, I'm pretty big on LGBTQ cats, and I've always thought that it was kind of depressing that the canon series never had a single one. A while back I made a post on tumblr about this and someone suggested a rewrite of the books that would include more LGBTQ representation, along with fixing other issues found in canon. So that's where the idea originally came from...eventually it developed into a rewrite that, while keeping quite a few of the major plot lines along with the original characters, basically became more of a "what if?" fic.

It starts with the same basic idea of Rusty joining ThunderClan and becoming Firepaw and eventually Firestar, but it also branches out to explore many other plot lines that were not originally in the books.

Since a large part of this fic is the addition of LGBTQ representation, almost all of the characters are in some way LGBTQ. I didn't want to include pronouns, genders, and orientations in the allegiances because it simply looked too crowded and busy, but if you're interested in them you can visit the blog wcrewrite tumblr and find a link to a list of them in the description!
