I will not be taking criticism

Ok, yall asked for this…
Ok so basically in this au, the first book starts off with Luna and the secret alliance thingie (which actually has a purpose instead of just being filler and the idea of silkwings being against the alliance and is instead actually against them and they do shit abt it) ((but anyway-)) in this au she’s like, one of the big leaders and the book has her basically just doing rebel shit against the hivewings, raising tensions between the silkwings and hivewings and simultaneously bringing justice in some way, and eventually proving a bother enough for queen wasp to take over the hivewings and start, yah know, stopping, jailing and killing the found rebels and actually try and catch them and stuff, and shutting down meeting places and shit, bringing more tension.
So Luna, (who is instead blues slightly older half sis) basically doesn’t even have a chance to metamorphosis in this book, and is instead captured by the the hivewings in one of the raids. They jail her and blue, who was found as an accomplice, and are put in the cells with the fire silks (which they hadn’t known abt yet) bc high security ofc and bc blues father is a fire silk and he is suspected to be one too(Luna doesn’t have flame silk). After they learn abt fire silks and what the hivewings had been doing to them, they plan an escape.
So the escape goes to shit, theyre re-captured and Luna gets killed/executed for planning the escape and thats how book 1 ends
Book two starts off with cricket and she isn’t actually the “I shouldn’t be good but I am for plot reasons and love interest” and is actually pretty nieve and a little self centered, she hasn’t met blue or Luna at all so she’s still unbiased/more biased towards hivewings. Or that is until she meets sundew, one of the very few leaf wings still around, who had also happened to be assigned to follow cricket for gathering information for the leafwing rebellion (separate to the silkwings rebellion). Cricket finds out she’s being stalked and confronts sundew (who isn’t just a super “Im good at all things survival and thats all I need”) who messed up and gave herself away, and they pretty much hit it off.
Cricket gets a lot more educated abt the real silkwing/hivewing/leafwing situation through sundew, and cricket spys on the tribes to gather information for the leafwings.
They eventually are able to get in contact with the silkwing alliance, hoping for both alliances to join together, and find out about how one of their leaders (Luna) had been recently captured by the hivewings and before they can even decide to do anything they need their leader back. So cricket and sundew take off for the prisons in hope of finding Luna.
But when they get there they find Luna dead and a small group of tortured and enslaved silkwings in a highly secure prison with no way out and are horrified to find that hivewings are even worse that what they seemed to be. (End book 2)
Book 3 starts off with blue, and we get a recap on what happened after lunas death.
So basically they execute Luna, re-capture blue and the escapees and lock them up tighter than ever before. Blue ends up worse bc the hivewings think he is the main accomplice and they put him in a seperate cell, and like almost torture him?? Not really but, he has a far worse punishment than the rest.
So basically they torture him, and theyre like “this kids useless if he’s not a fire silk, so let’s just get him to metamorphosis early, see if he’s a flame silk, if he is we put him with the rest and if he ain’t then we can kill em off!” So they like, inject him with like special hormones that make him start to metamorphosis early and they find out he is a flame silk.
So he metamorphosises and we get a small time skip to close to the time when cricket and sundew get there and and in the middle of his little force induced goop coma, he gets interrupted by the guards splitting open his cocoon, mid metamorphosis may I remind you, so hes like only partially developed, and is forced into the rest of the silkwings cages. So basically hes like only slightly metamorphosised and is like a little deformed-ish, his wings are crumpled and unusable and the only thing he has is his flamesilk left, so he like can’t even fly now, which is like a silkwings only goal in life, so like hes left phisically mentally and spiritually broken, his sister dead, enslaved, his only defense (his silk) ripped away for resources, chained down, unable to move two feet and his wings, his last chance at true freedom, ripped away from him, not even able to metamorphosis on his own bodily accord, and now unable to ever fly again, with no second chance… well, you can see why he started to hate hivewings.
Not hate, despise. He fucking hated hivewings.
In the short time of him finally able to see through all their Bull shit he realizes that hivewings won’t change and have never been good to them, and he just fucking hates all of them.
So when cricket and sundew arrive, and he sees another hivewing, the only reason the doesn’t fucking maul her when they free him is bc sundews there. And well, it’s not like he can escape without them with the deformed wings and all. So he goes with them, dispite the hivewings presence and ends up traveling with them and the other flame silks back to the leafwing village.
They get to the village and shit, they do their thing, and blue finds himself more and more comfortable in the hivewings presence, dispite himself, and is more and more enraptured by her surprisingly calm and loving demeanor. Dont get him wrong he still fucking hates hivewings, but cricket has matured so much, she’s careing and loving and sympathetic, he can’t help but feel more and more whole around her. Not because she completes him, but because she helps him see that he is already whole dispite his wounds and scars,(his wings).
He doesn’t understand why he can’t hate her, and throughout the rest of the book they kinda pull toward each other more + more, and eventually at the end of the book they have their hugging-crying-i-love-you scene and they do their couple thing for the last two books.
Blue still hates what the hivewings did to him and his sister and tribe, but is now able to understand that they can change, and aren’t all just evil.

While I'm preparing all the art for the main worlds I'm working on right now, take this!
I noticed there was a lack of good humanized designs (PoC especially) for many of the arc protagonists so I drew my own!
Saw some other people doing this, and since I am back in the WOF series after the 4th series was announced, here is some Sundew! I drew her from the cover (ovis) I hope you like it!
