Evil Starflight AU/Broken Wings

== Introduction ==
=== Lore Changes ===
* Morrowseer was found by a scouting Icewing patrol and this lead to him misshandeling Starflight's egg, which damaged him even inside the shell.
* Starflight is crippled, cannot fly and his lungs were punctured meaning he runs out of breath fast and cannot breathe fire.
* He also grows slightly malformed, reducing his stature.
* Darkstalker's plan is different.
=== Character Changes ===
* Starflight was raised with special care and treatment, his slight exposure to the light of the moon when his egg cracked gave him distorted and weakend powers which when used cause him to weaken himself and often have nose and eyebleeds.
* Glory and Starflight are closer because of their shared missfit nature.
* Kestrel and and Dune take more care of Starflight specifically due to his state, however Kestrel is still very much expressive of how Starflight isn't fit for a prophecy dragonet.
=== Event Changes ===
* Days before Morrowseer arrives, Starflight starts to have distorted visions and sleepwalking bursts of panic where he tries to escape the cave in a blind rush that often ends with himself getting hurt, however he can't recall any of them.
* During one of them, Kestrel chains him up so he would stay still and this ends up with his dislocating one of his legs.
* Morrowseer is disapointed by Starflight's malformed nature and also has no hesitance is deciding he will be replaced by Fatespeaker.
* Starflight has a burst of panic and ends up using his defective powers by accident and momentarily knocks himself out.
* When he wakes up, Clay has already gone down the river, and this incites a new attack of panic where Starflight is desperate to stop something from happening.
* When Scarlet eventually does show up in the cave, he tries to get on her good side, even negotiating the others for his safety.
* Troughout the story, Starflight has the repeated vision of the moment he'll supposedly die in, and he always works as hard as he can to prevent it.
* He uses every bit of energy to convince Scarlet to not make him fight, because he sees that as his moment of death.
* During the meeting with Scarlet, he does all sorts of bargaining and begging to change her opinion, and Scarlet finds it amusing enough, thinking how it'll look when burn and everyone in the arena will look at her if Starflight publically humiliates himself.
* Morrowseer's intervention stops that from happening, however Starflight is confronted about it and has to admit to Morrowseer that the only events he has foresight on are the ones leading to his death.
== Major Divergence: Book 1-2 ==
* Starflight's next supposed death will occur with him drowning in Coral's prision, so he of course is very reluctant about going to the Sea Kingdom, however Tsunami's way too convinced to be swayed.
* Because of his disability, Clay and Tsunami take turns carrying him, something made slightly easier because of his underdevelopment.
* He also figures out that merely being aware of his death changes it slightly, and that little choices he makes do come later in play which just adds to th terror that his end is constantly changing.
* When Coral has them taken away, Starflight has one of his attacks and manages to excuse himself out of the situation by saying that he needs to see Blister so he can make his choice.
* He meets Whirlpool and they somewhat get along over their shared "I'll do anything to benefit or save myself" attitude.
* Because of his never-ending fear over an ever-nearing death, he is much more forceful and desperate of the idea of choosing Blister as queen, especially when his next vision is related to the upcoming attack on the summer palace.
* The group splits when Starflight doesn't end up in the special prision and ends up sticking with Blister.
== Complete Cannon Divergence ==
From this point on, the events suffer drastic changes that reshape the world and characters drastically. From book 3 onwards, Starflight is taken by Blister and Morrowseer, who are much more open and immediate about their plan, knowing Starflight can see his own death and will take whatever path is needed to delay it, they don't need to do much intimidation. Blister tries to take advantage of this, by trying to see if Starflight can fill in the gaps and tell what happens in the future by the place and circumstances he dies in.
The next vision he has is of him dying in the Nightwing Island in the eruption, he can also make out some vague details, including Glory's voice and some rainwings, which Morrowseer connects with the attack they are planning, and this makes the Nightwings pick up their pace. Starflight is also way less reluctant about the substitute dragonets, as long as his visions don't show anything that may happen recently. He gladly agrees to choose Blister, trying to get out of the island as fast as possible because of his visions. 
Fatespeaker confronts him about the peculiar nature of his foresight, saying that it must be awful for him to get to see the future but only the inevitable. Because he has no one who he can talk about this with up until now, he tells Fatespeaker that he has done some awful decisions inspired by this fear of his death, and that he regrets them, but can't say he has the guts to choose differently, always prefering safety. She then brings up that her own visions are innacurate in the details, and that maybe he isn't seeing the exact future since he never followed one of the visions till the end.
Starflight dismisses this, saying he isn't crazy to try and see to the end of what could be his death, and that while it may not be right, he will ditch and ally with anyone as long as his visions keep getting further from the present, recognizes this come from an instinct of survival, however he tries to pat himself on the back by saying that it's just part of him, and fighting this fear is useless and unhealthy.
His vision gets delayed once again, which brings him a false sense of security, elevating his confidence as he now belives he's borderline invencible, this gives him an arrogant edge, however he's still very easy to scare. Because of this, during the eruption he keeps telling himself he'll be fine since his death no longer happens on the island, however he entirely forgets that he can still get wounded, and so he ends up getting badly burnt by the lava, however it's surviveable as Fatespeaker helps him.
This incident however makes Starflight realize that while it may be useful to know of his death, there's still a lot of awful stuff that can happen in between, so he turns to seclusion and over-preparation.
== End State ==
Starflight ends up as a paranoid ally of Blister, who uses his abilities to help her in whatever way he can, while also keeping close to the replacement dragonets, including Fatespeaker, per Blister's request of a propper prophet. He is constantly haunted and reminded of the inevitability of his death and works tirelessly to prevent and delay it, living his days in an overprotected fortress, isolated and stuck in the loop of seeing his death, finding a way to prevent it, and seeing an alternate one.
Eventually, however, his deaths tend to frequently end in the hands of the Dragonets of Destiny, usually because they end up on opposing sides. Having spent a good time now trying to avoid his death, he refuses to let it end by his old friends and decides that the only way he can be sure that he will live is to get rid of them outright, again, telling himself that it's just one of many hard choices that he has to make, and it's just part of surviving.
