AshScourge

AshScourge is the slash ship between Ashfur and Scourge from the Warriors fandom.

Canon
Ashfur and Scourge have never interacted. Ashfur was an apprentice when the battle with BloodClan for the forest occurred, where he participated in the battle. Scourge did not know of Ashpaw, however Ashpaw knew of him and helped kill Scourge’s deputy, Bone.

Ashfur and Scourge are vengeful, wanting revenge on those who have wronged them in the past; Ashpaw when Tigerstar for having killed Ashpaw's mother to give fierce dogs a taste for cat blood and Scourge, known as Tiny back then, when at his mentor’s encouragement, Tigerpaw having nearly killed Scourge scratching his chest and leaving a large wound. They're both obsessed with getting revenge on Tigerstar and succeeded.

After the ultimate deaths of both tom-cats, Ashfur went to StarClan, while it’s unknown where Scourge went. Rogues don’t go to StarClan, or the Dark Forest.

Fanon
An iconic staple in the Warriors fandom, AshScourge was popular in the early fandom days (about 2003-2015). It’s unclear where the ship began, though it’s possible it started with this video. Ashfur and Scourge were infamous for being extremely popular during this time, as well as slash ships, so it was only a matter of time for them to begin being shipped together.

It’s unknown where rogues or spirits go when they die, although many theories have been made. Some fans of the ship believe they are reborn. Sometimes Squrrielflight is made out to be a reincarnation of Scourge, since they both have one white paw. In this headcanon, would also mean Ashfur technically did love Scourge.

Since Ashfur and Scourge are both very vengeful, they have earned an alternate ship name of “RevengeShipping”. Usually their mutual hatred of Tigerstar isn’t brought up much, as it’s easy to forget since Ashpaw wasn’t an important character.

In the modern fandom, AshScourge is seen as an nostalgic relic of old Warriors fandom culture, and it’s still very easy to find fanart and other content of the ship, although almost never unironically. Even back when it was popular it was referred to as a crack pairing.
