= DustFern =

Canon
Dustpelt and Ferncloud are mates. They have seven children.

Spiderleg
Dustpelt and Ferncloud’s son from the same litter as Shrewpaw, the pair’s first litter. He died in the great battle after having kits with Daisy, giving Dustpelt and Ferncloud grandkits in Toadstep and Rosepetal.

Shrewpaw
Dustpelt and Ferncloud’s son from the same litter as Spiderleg, the pair’s first litter. He died as an apprentice, having been hit by a car while chasing a shrew.

Birchfall
Dustpelt and Ferncloud’s son from the same litter as Larchkit and Hollykit, the pair’s second litter. He is currently alive and mates with Whitewing, who he had Ivypool and Dovewing with. He is the grandfather to Ivypool and Dovewing’s kits which makes Dustpelt and Ferncloud great-grandparents.

Larchkit
A male kit from the same litter as Birchfall and Hollykit. He died of starvation as a kit along with his sister Hollykit.

Fanon
DustFern is a generally welled liked, but not too popular ship. It is easy to find fanart of the ship if you were to look, but it is uncommon to come across fanart if just browsing. However a lot of the fandom views the ship as cute and healthy, with Dustpelt often being portrayed as being protective of his mate and kits. The pair has the third most kits out of all cats from the series with seven kits, with first place being taken by Snowbird and Scorchfur with nine. This is often joked about. Sometimes Dustpelt is headcannoned to stay with Ferncloud in the nursery to look after the kits, something unheard of in the canon of the series yet highly anticipated by the fandom. It was a common joke to call Ferncloud a “baby machine/maker” or say she was lazy(because Queens do not hunt and are fed first), because of this, but it is now rare to hear this joke as some in the fandom finds this sexist.

There is also a tragic side to protrayls of this ship, as many of their kits are dead(with most dying young), and Ferncloud had died before Dustpelt in the great battle. Some fanart picture Dustpelt grieving over the loss of his mate and kits, sometimes being comforted by Ferncloud as a StarClan spirit.

Some fans dislike the beginning of the pair’s relationship, as Dustpelt was a warrior while Ferncloud was an apprentice. This is thought to be made worse by the fact that according to the official family tree on the Warriors Website, Dustpelt is Ferncloud’s uncle. However, not all fans take the Warriors website as canon, nor any information provided outside of the books as the authors have contradicted themselves before- for example, Vicky had previously stated that Runningwind was the father of Ferncloud while the website now claims it is Whitestorm. But since incest is so common in the series, it usually isn’t payed much mind.

= RavenBarley = RavenBarley is the slash ship between Ravenpaw and Barley from the Warriors fandom.

Fandom
= HollyBreeze =

Fanon
Hollyleaf and Breezepelt are half-siblings. Many Warriors fans are unsatisfied with their relationship, as most of the fandom are frustrated with the lack of familial bonds between the cats. And so AUs and familial shipping content is made of the pairing to make up for a lack of it in canon, with the two often being compared to each other; Hollyleaf was angry and driven to kill (Ashfur) after finding out who her parents really were, and realizing she was not apart of the three and so not as special as her littermates; Breezepelt felt neglected by Crowfeather, who would compliment Lionblaze, Jayfeather and Hollyleaf but not him, leading him to the Dark Forest. In some AUs, instead of Hating Crowfeather’s illegal kits, Breezepelt bonds with Hollyleaf over their shared issues with not feelings special, and having Crowfeather as a father. The also both almost died in the tunnels by rocks falling on them.

Some fans also shipped it romantically, although even before it was revealed that Crowfeather was the father of the three, making Breezepelt Hollyleaf’s half-brother, shipping it romantically was still very unpopular; perhaps partly because the two characters did not get along, or because the Warriors fandom had not yet grown as big as it would. Breezepelt had even said he was glad Hollyleaf was dead after she was killed by Hawkfrost at the end of Omen of the Stars.

It got more popular in 2012-2016, when the fandom was reaching it’s peak popularity, even after the characters were found to be related- a “proshipping” mentality was much more common back in the early Warriors fandom days, so shipping incest was not unheard of. Nowadays, as the Fandom has grown, content of the ship is met with more disgust. Among those who regularly ship incest, the ship is fairly popular, but not as much as JayBreeze and BreezeLion.

Fandom
= SpottedSand = SpottedSand is the femslash ship between Spottedleaf and Sandstorm.

Canon
Spottedleaf and Sandstorm are both from ThunderClan. Spottedleaf is a medicine cat and Sandstorm is a warrior. They were born in different generations as Spottedleaf died while Sandstorm was still an apprentice.

Fanon
SpottedSand is an unpopular ship within the Warriors fandom. It is likely not widely shipped because of the age gap. It is one of the least popular among both Spottedleaf and Sandstorm's ships. It sometimes gets fanart, but not that often. Sometimes, there are adopts for if they were to have kits together.

SpottedSand is likely seen as an alternative to SpottedFire. This is because, canonically, Sandstorm and Firestar are mates. Shippers of SpottedSand would see them as a competitive pairing. Sandstorm is fierce, and the complete opposite of Spottedleaf, who is sweet and caring. However, there's a flip side. Some people don't see them as mates, but as rivals! Both were canonically attracted to Firestar, which would likely cause them to compete for his love.

The minority of SpottedSand shippers usually make art for this pairing, although not often. Fanart and fanfics are difficult to locate.
