Summary
In a tragic twist of fate, Fireheart perishes in the fire that consumes Thunderclan while trying to save Bramblekit. However, it turns out he quite likes being dead. Having helped found a cult and starting a family with its leader in this strange afterlife, things couldn't be better.
Yet, in another twist of fate, he is revived back into the world against his will, losing everything a second time. Turns out the prophecy is pretty strict on who can complete it, and Starclan still has need of him. Now he's on a quest to complete the prophecy and kill himself as quickly as possible to get back to the family he'd lost. Much to the behest of his friends.
(A rebirth au with a twist!)

Summary
Quirrel is a lot of things to a lot of different bugs. He's a soldier of fortune, a mercenary, a poet, a historian, an alcoholic, and now, after a series of events beyond his control, the father to two rambunctious bugs. A bee with an appetite for adventure, and her adopted brother, the god of the void.
Quirrel will have to learn a lot, not just about parenting, but about himself. As memories from a past life start to emerge, he'll have to re-evaluate who he is as a person, and whether that person is worthy enough to be called "dad."

Summary
Fireheart had an aptitude for getting into trouble.
From overthrowing tyrannical leaders to surviving forest fires and floods he simply often found himself in the wrong place at the wrong time. To a fair few cats he should be long dead. Is it instincts? Survival prowess? Pure stubbornness that kept him alive?Sure these attributes helped but Fireheart, and most others, would attribute his survival to a concept. A whole heaping lot of luck.
The only problem with being lucky is when you run out it makes the crash hurt all the more.
