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 both have vengeful personalities and goalsl, wanting revenge on those who have wronged them in the past. They both shared a common enemy against Tigerstar, a fierce antagonist in the first season of Warriors:

Ashpaw: When Tigerstar killed his mother to give a pack of dogs the taste of cat blood in order to use them in a plan to destroy Thunderclan.

Scourge: As a kit, he encountered Tigerstar (known as Tigerpaw at the time) after leaving the safety of his Twoleg household. Tigerpaw attacked him aggressively, showing no remorse for hurting Tiny (Scourge's Kittypet name). This experience traumatized Scourge, and therefore, he waited many years for his chance to have his revenge.

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 among other slash ships.

-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. This is why it's considered a meme within the fandom.

-It’s unknown where rogues or kittypets go when they die in Warriors, although many theories have been made. To make up for Scourge's death regarding this ship, some fans of the pair believe he was reborn. For example, one AU concept is that Squrrielflight is made out to be a reincarnation of Scourge, since they both have one white paw and are related to each other. Due to this, the canon love Ashfur feels for Squirrelflight in the books can be seen as him indirectly loving Scourge.

-Due their shared hatred towards Tigerstar for personal reasons, the pair is commonly referred to as "Revenge Shipping".
