Firestar x Sandstorm
Yes! I love this one. Much better than SpottedFire. Firestar only had a small crush on Spottedleaf for a bit then casually grew away from her. Now, he doesn't even think of her. Sandstorm, on the other hand, not only has he always liked her, but when he had to choose between Sandstorm or Spottedleaf, he chose Sandstorm! Yay!
And Sandstorm was happy because she loved him too. Also, it was confirmed that Firestar liked Sandstorm more than just the average cat he meets and wanted to be more than friends with her. But he went after Spottedleaf in the beginning because he thought she liked him. It turns out, he didn't actually find the feelings he thought he had for Spottedleaf and returned to his true love.

Lionblaze x Cinderheart
Lionblaze x Cinderheart is so cute! This is my favorite couple! I cried when Cinderheart rejected Lionblaze, but I'm glad they are mates now! They are so adorable together! They should be number 1 in my opinion. I love them so much!
Lionblaze x Heathertail is terrible, but Lionblaze x Icecloud is even worse! Who thought of it anyway? I never saw Lionblaze falling for Icecloud in the books. He was padding after Cinderheart in Omen of the Stars. He only liked Heathertail when they were apprentices. Go Lionblaze x Cinderheart!
Cute, cute, cute! I think the fact that Lionblaze had to fight "his toughest battle" to make Cinderheart realize they were meant to be together was the most precious thing.
Honestly, I just love how close Cinderheart was to Leafpool's litter in general, but this was a well-developed couple, and I'm so happy they were able to raise so many kits together because they deserved it!
-
Graystripe x Silverstream
Graystripe x Silverstream is so adorable! Graystripe is a goofy, easy-going tom and Silverstream is a gentle, fierce she-cat. Their love for each other is heartwarming.
It breaks my heart to remember how Silverstream died. They sacrificed everything just to be together. They even broke the warrior code just to have kits together. It melts my heart when I remember Silverstream's last words to her love:
"Goodbye Graystripe. I love you. Take care of our kits."
It also breaks my heart to realize Stormfur and Feathertail never really knew their mother. Silverstream should have been with them every single day alongside Graystripe.
Graystripe falling in love with Millie is understandable. He couldn't go on without someone at his side at all times. He missed Silverstream too much and needed someone to be there. I also adore the love between Graystripe and Millie. I'm glad Millie was there for Graystripe.
-
Bluestar x Oakheart
Is it just my opinion, or do forbidden relationships work better than non-forbidden ones?
Ahem, anyways. I agree with what the others said. They're a really cute couple. Oakheart was loyal to both Bluestar and his clan. He didn't expose Bluestar and kept it a secret that the two had kits. True, Graypool knew that Mistykit and Stonekit were from ThunderClan (because she is very perceptive), but she also kept it a secret.
Sadly though, Bluestar needed to give the kits up (losing Mosskit in the process). After reading Bluestar's Prophecy, it seemed to me like Mosskit was her favorite out of the three of them. I also feel really bad for Bluestar when she found out that her mate died, but she couldn't cry about it in front of her clan because everyone would be like, "Yo, Bluestar, you good? You're not crying over the death of a random RiverClan warrior, right? You're loyal to our clan, eh?"
They're just perfect and doomed at the same time. Either way, I forgot which book it was in, but (SMALL SPOILER) it states that Oakheart, Bluestar, and Mosskit were inseparable. So, at least the afterlife worked out. My number one ship.
-
Brambleclaw x Squirrelflight
A great couple, but with a couple of problems, mainly on Squirrelflight's part.
Look, I'm a girl, but I side with Brambleclaw. Squirrelflight was being unreasonable about Hawkfrost and letting that get in the way of their relationship, considering Hawkfrost is Brambleclaw's brother. I would understand if she truly hated Hawkfrost, but she could have at least explained it to Brambleclaw without being harsh.
She was being petty when she entertained Ashfur's attentions, and my heart hurt for Brambleclaw. It would have served her right if he gave up on her then, but I'm glad he didn't.
I love how he protects her and always looks out for her. He was also right to be upset about Squirrelflight lying about Leafpool's kits. Mates should never lie to each other.
-
Jayfeather x Half Moon
I have to say, this is my all-time favorite Warrior Cats couple. Over Jayfeather x Stick, Firestar x Sandstorm, Cloudtail x Brightheart, I choose this mainly because of how much they really love each other, even though they both know they can't be together. Jayfeather will live for seasons to come, but Half Moon is almost invisible in StarClan or the Tribe of Endless Hunting. She may already be gone for good by the time Jayfeather gets there.
Another reason is how committed Half Moon is to Jayfeather (Jay's Wing). Literally, so far the last words you hear from her are, "I'll wait for you forever, Jay's Wing!" I think it's sad that they can't really be together, but I still ship them as the cutest couple.
-
Cloudtail x Brightheart
This ship is so cute. Cloudtail is so good to Brightheart. He was with her when times were tough for her, and that by itself makes an outstanding mate! Brightheart got lucky. What happened to Brightheart broke my heart!
Cloudtail was always there to encourage her and always made her feel better. One quote that made me love Cloudtail is, "Don't worry, Brightpaw, you're still beautiful to me." That made my heart melt. Also, when Cloudtail found out he was a kittypet, he didn't care. When cats judged him, he didn't let that offend him.
And Brightheart herself also has a pretty bright heart. She is strong in both ways. She wanted to see the scar she got in a dog fight, and when she saw her face, she accepted herself. And she never gave up on her dream to become a warrior. She found another way to become a great fighter and got a little creative too. These two awesome characters make the best ship! Brightheart x Cloudtail forever!!
-
Leafpool x Crowfeather
Feathertail: Overrated Mary Sue who doesn't trust her Clan and thinks she's the best.
Leafpool: Hardworking she-cat who has normal flaws and is modest.
Most people really hate this couple, mostly because Leafpool is a stereotypically perfect she-cat. However, I liked the way Leafpool was shy and innocent, while Crowfeather was tough and defensive. Their personalities clashed in a really good way, and you could really feel the romance between them.
Erin Hunter portrayed this relationship perfectly, and it was one of the most detailed. Also, I liked seeing Crowfeather show his gentle and caring side, a side that I thought he didn't have when he was an apprentice. Overall, I disagree with many people. This couple is cute!
-
Sorreltail x Brackenfur
How can you not love this couple? Their personalities are somewhat different, with Sorrel being cheerful and keen, and Bracken being calm and mature, but they go so perfectly together. Sorrel matures later in the books. They are always there to support one another and make wonderful parents. You can really tell they love each other and would do anything for one another. Brackenfur was devastated when Sorrel died, and I literally started bawling, especially when Lilykit and Seedkit think she is sleeping and that just upsets Bracken even more.
And for people that think there is a huge age gap, not really. Brackenfur and Cinderpelt are apprenticed in Fire and Ice, only being four moons old. I forget when Sorreltail and her brothers are born, but it is either Rising Storm or A Dangerous Path. Rainwhisker and Sootfur are made warriors sometime between Darkest Hour and Midnight, and Bracken was made a warrior in Forest Of Secrets. Sorrel is made a warrior late due to her injuries from the ThunderPath, making her warrior ceremony supposed to be earlier with her brothers. This makes Sorreltail only about a season (3 moons) younger than Brackenfur. Not such a big age difference now!
-
Dustpelt x Ferncloud
Probably my favorite couple in the whole series. Ferncloud had already become one of my favorite characters when she was an apprentice, and I'm so glad the authors paired her with Dustpelt.
Dustpelt can be bristly and a little standoffish sometimes but never to Ferncloud. If I were Ferncloud, I would be glad he's like that because I wouldn't want him chatting with other female cats. That's just true love. You're supposed to be jealous of each other.
Anyway, I love how they have a bunch of kits and I was sad when they just kept dying. Best couple portrayed!
I love DustFern. It is an amazing ship and very cute. Longtail did well mentoring Ferncloud. Many people think Ashfur teamed up with Hawkfrost and tried to kill Firestar, but he actually wanted Hawkfrost to kill Brambleclaw.
Some people hate Dustpelt because he used to work with Tigerstar, but I love this ship.

Rootspring x Bristlefrost
Oh poor RootSpring His mate faded and now ... Wait I think there is a way for them to come back the faded ones but BristleFrost died.
My favorite couple ever! I'm begging for them to get together.
There's one more Broken Code book left, and I will get my answer in five months. I want to read A Light in the Mist so badly! Also, in the River blurb, it said the warrior code is changing. I hope that means Bristlefrost and Rootspring can be together.
PLEASE! Rootspring better not die in the Dark Forest. PLEASE GET TOGETHER.

Feathertail x Tawnypelt
This is an underrated ship, their personalities fit very well together and Feathertail helped Tawnypelt when she had a rat bite.
-
Dovewing x Bumblestripe
Dovewing is such a piece of arrogant fox-dung, toying with his feelings like that! I love Bumblestripe, who pulled through, and eventually got the girl of his dreams. By the way, at the end, Dovewing hated Tigerheart as a mate, her feelings for him were as feelings for a cat to a mouse. BUMBLE x DOVE forever!
Dovewing may have been a jerk to Bumblestripe by toying with his feelings to get Tigerheart to like her. But seriously, how do these two cats not look perfect together? They are both calm and sweet. Wait a second, that's just Bumblestripe. Anyway, because Dovewing is crazy and a little sarcastic sometimes, they totally cancel each other out, making them perfect together.

Hollyleaf x Fallen Leaves
Dang, is this couple adorable. I understand that they didn't mate and have kits, but they (along with Bluestar x Oakheart) are my OTP.
It was so cute when Hollyleaf fell down the collapsing tunnel and was reached by Fallen Leaves. Their first impressions were so CUTE! Fallen Leaves was the reserved, shy cat in their relationship, and Hollyleaf was the brighter one... I guess.
I loved how he took care of her, played (and flirted) with her - they had a lot of fun - tried to make the dark tunnels as homey as he possibly could, took care of her when she wasn't feeling well, and how they acted like parents to that baby fox (who later betrayed them).
It was awesome how Fallen Leaves loved Hollyleaf enough to let her go and return to ThunderClan. In the end, they were loyal to each other.
My heart melted into a puddle when Hollyleaf asked Fallen Leaves to sleep with her, and he reacted shyly because he was in love with her and therefore shy.
Plus, when Hollyleaf returned, Fallen Leaves was like, "I added more feathers to your nest in case," he said shyly.
-
Crowfeather x Feathertail
Crowfeather and Feathertail are meant to be. Crowfeather wanted his name to be Crowfeather to be like Feathertail. Leafpool is selfish, insane, and an idiot who only cares about herself. Let's look at the two of them:
FEATHERTAIL: Sweet, beautiful, with a large heart, she wanted a family and a mate. A pretty tabby she-cat with blue eyes, she was respected and had soft, fluffy fur that shines in the light.
LEAFPOOL: Selfish cream-and-brown tabby she-cat who only wanted to have kits and abandon Crowfeather. She was not respected and didn't deserve him.
The only way Crowfeather would ever have a mate and should have had a mate would be if it was Feathertail. They understood each other, and Leafpool interrupted it by saying, "Crowfeather, let's have kits, they can be in WindClan, and they'll totally know who their father is!" While Feathertail said, "They can be in your Clan. I'm sure they'll love the open air and moor. The choice is yours, be beloved Crowfeather." Which sounds more honest and loving? I think that Feathertail x Crowfeather is far better! - Shadow and Thunder Studios
-
Berrynose x Honeyfern
This is the cutest couple. But I know why Erin killed off Honey. She needed a reason to have deathberries in camp so that Hollyleaf could tell Leafpool to eat them. So she figured someone could be killed by a snake and Leafpool could stuff a mouse with deathberries and trick the snake. So she needed someone to kill off. But why did she pick Honeyfern! So sad. Berrynose isn't great, but if Honeyfern had lived, I bet he could have become the best cat ever.
I really wish Erin Hunter had mentioned them more in the books. They are so cute together and they balance each other out so much! Honeyfern is one of the gentlest cats in the entire series and she was really good for Berrynose, who is hotheaded and, honestly, a little annoying. I absolutely hated when Berrynose took Poppyfrost as his new mate. Shame on you, Berrynose! But these two totally work out. Like fire and ice!
-
Birchfall x Whitewing
I personally don't like Birchfall, but this couple is okay. Whitewing delays her warrior ceremony so Birchfall doesn't have to be the only apprentice. I kind of like WhitewingXShrewpaw together though. If he had lived, I would want them together, not WhiteXBirch. I love their kit, Ivypool, but hate their other kit, Dovewing.
And for people that think Ashfur is the father of Dovewing and Ivypool because of the color, I'm sorry, but that's not correct. Cats don't always have to look like their parents. And even if they did, Birchfall's mother, Ferncloud, is gray, Birchfall's grandmother, Brindleface is gray, Whitewing's aunt, Cinderpelt, is gray, Whitewing is white, Whitewing's father, Cloudtail, is white, Whitewing's mother, Brightheart has some white, and Whitewing's grandmother, Frostfur, is white. Therefore, Dovewing is gray and Ivypool is silver-and-white.
-
Crookedstar x Willowbreeze
O.M.G. Got to be honest you guys, apart from Firestar and Sandstorm, this is the best couple. It was just so sad when Crookedstar broke his jaw, and his mother denied him. He now only had his father and brother.
But when Willowkit was born, he realized that she cared for him as well. They got along, and Crookedstar FINALLY asked Willowbreeze to be his mate. She said yes, but when she had kits she had a cold. Two of the kits died, and soon after Willowbreeze sadly passed away. However, Crookedstar's only remaining daughter, Featherkit, had survived.
Okay, so the only time this ship was actually mentioned was in Crookedstar's Promise. But I love how protective Crookedstar was of Willowbreeze, and I was so sad when she and her kits died.
My heart cried out for Crookedstar, and I hope they live happily ever after in StarClan together. They deserve it.
-
Stormfur x Brook
Stormfur first stepped into the Tribe of Rushing Water and it was like love at first sight. Stormfur and Brook would hunt and hang out. When he was kept back as a prisoner, he was really disappointed in Brook and the tribe because he liked them.
When Feathertail later died, he was devastated but Brook was there for him. Then Stormfur had to leave, so he was sad he had to leave Brook and the tribe. Stormfur got back and was told his dad was taken, which made him feel worse.
When the clans had to travel to find a new home, they got help from the tribe and Stormfur was delighted to see Brook again. After thinking for a while, he decided to stay after all that had happened and they were the cutest together.
-
Jayfeather x Stick
This has to be one of the greatest pairings in the Warriors world. Sorry, Half Moon! I like you, but Jayfeather should be with someone from his own timeline, like Stick.
Best ship that ever set foot in Warriors. Not even joking at this point, people take this ship as a literal joke. But I feel it's more. Jayfeather and Stick is the best ship.
YES YES! This is the best ship ever. I mean, he really doesn't have anyone to love, and no one really loves him, so he kind of does go with this ship.
-
Tigerstar x Goldenflower
If my friend had to choose someone to be in the first series, then I know she would pick Goldenflower. Even though she knew Goldenflower was the mate of an evil cat, if you've read the entire series, look what happens. Brambleclaw becomes leader of ThunderClan, and Tawnypelt lives a very happy life with Rowanclaw in ShadowClan.
They were both chosen to save the cats from the forest. If Goldenflower and Tigerstar hadn't been together, the journey of the six cats wouldn't have worked out. They would have been fighting and wouldn't have finished the journey. Then all the clans would have been wiped out of existence.
I really like to think that a young Tigerstar was in love with Goldenflower. Who wouldn't? I think Tigerstar was really happy when she told him she was going to have his kids.
However, in the second book, Tigerstar began to develop a growing obsession to kill Fireheart and rule the clan. He soon only saw Goldenflower as a pawn in his evil plan. I do think that he loved his two first kits but also saw them as heirs to his evil throne.
Once he became Tigerstar, I think he tried to recreate the feeling he had with Goldenflower and his first kits with Sasha but could not. So, yeah, there you go!
-
Snowfur x Thistleclaw
I have never seen or heard of these cats before, but hearing the name and seeing the pictures, they are so cute! In the game on Roblox, I would dress up as both of them. Their avatars are so cute, and the kit leaves me speechless.
Putting aside the fact that Thistleclaw is evil, these two are actually really great together. And Thistleclaw was a good father until Whitestorm was an apprentice.
Thistleclaw is evil, but I truly believe he loved Snowfur. He was actually a great father until Snowfur died. Maybe if she had lived, he wouldn't have become so bitter and hateful.
-
Mousefur x Longtail
I know Mousefur never had kits, and neither did Longtail, but they are great together. When badgers attacked, Mousefur helped Longtail get out of the camp where they were safe. Plus, they spend a lot of time together and Mousefur always helps him when he needs it.
I think they might have both had feelings for each other at one point, but Mousefur is tough and doesn't want to admit she has feelings for someone. While Longtail is quite shy and quiet, so he probably would feel anxious to tell her how he feels. Still, Longtail died, which meant Mousefur couldn't have had kits with him, and they were both pretty old. Anyway, they are a cute couple and I ship them! LongxMouse.
-
Whitestorm x Willowpelt
Whitestorm only ever had Willowpelt as a mate. He didn't go with Frostfur or Brindleface because they were his foster sisters. Willowpelt had unfortunate mates like her brother, which I'm sure was an accident. Tawnyspots was just... well, he was sick. Literally, he had cancer. Then Whitestorm came along! Go Willow White!
I suggest reading a Warriors fanfiction called Bumps in the Road.
I love this ship. Snowfur and Bluestar have a lot of family members because of Whitestorm. Willowpelt really loved him, and I love Whitestorm too! Go Willowstorm!
-
Tigerheart x Dovewing
HONESTLY, Bumblestripe needs to go and just shut up! He was never a good fit for Dovewing, and Tigerheartstar always was! He is ambitious, protective, and sharp, and Dovewing is kind, sweet, and PERFECT without being a Mary Sue!
I really support this couple mainly because I thought that they developed more than Dovewing/Bumblestripe.
Throughout the books, it was obvious that they were in love. Every time someone asked Dovewing about mating, she thought of Tigerheart, not Bumblestripe. I was thoroughly upset when they didn't become mates because I never saw the Bumblestripe/Dovewing thing coming!
They never really developed! The focus was on Tigerstar and Dovewing, but they never actually got together! I love Tigerheart and Dovewing because I really believed their love!
-
Leafstar x Billystorm
I think this couple was coming. This was a perfect couple, tasteful to the readers that read SkyClan's Destiny, and you seemed to cry with Leafstar as she struggled. I think that lots of people, including me at one point, thought that Sharpclaw and Leafstar would become a really good couple. Leafstar had a few feelings for him, as portrayed in the books. I think this couple perfectly completes each other, like an arrow and a three.
I loved this ship, and Leafstar literally bent the warrior code so she could have his kits and be his mate, only to have Billystorm taken away by these bloody badgers in this so-called abandoned home of bloody badgers! I also feel for Pebblepaw (later Pebbleshine), who was his apprentice.
Darn you, Darktail! If I were in these books, you would be dead before you could blink!

Larksong x Sparkpelt
Sparkpelt couldn't raise her kits because she was grieving for Larksong.
