As a young cat, Pigeon didn't have a home. He was left to fend for himself when his mother passed away, and the other loner cats wanted nothing to do with him. Then he met Parsley. The tom was just as lost as he was, yet didn't seem to show it. The tom admired the stranger's ability to keep working, no matter how dire the situation, and the two quickly became close friends. The two toms would journey over the landscape, hunting when they could and finding shelter wherever possible.

Then the dog attacked. Pigeon was a decent fighter and did his best to chase the creature away, but Parsley was badly hurt. The grey cat did everything in his power to save him, desperately searching for things to stop the bleeding and help him. He was afraid he'd lost the fluffy tom.

When Parsley made a recovery and Pigeon had a glimpse of life without him, it was then that he knew he would follow the tom to the edges of the earth and back. As long as he was with the tom, he was home. So when his new mate hurried back, meowing about a she cat who knew herbs like him and a Clan of cats just past the twoleg place, Pigeon followed him without hesitation.

Finally with a place to stay, the tabby felt at peace. He spent his days training to become a healer, then taking on his name of Pigeonhop, matching his mate's name of Parsleystep. He felt accepted, content, and above all, more at home than he'd ever felt.

sleet fall's chest ached with every breath, but still, he propelled forward. his legs trembled under the weight of the cat on his back, slumped down between his shoulders like a piece of prey. but still, he moved. he couldn't stop moving. his breath billowed out in large clouds in front of his face, just to be pushed back by the vicious winds that blew against him.

he just needed to get home. get her home. get juniper home.

sleet shivered as a bolt of freezing air hit his thin fur. but he trudged forward through the snow that piled up around his feet. he could no longer feel his paws. his face was numb, whiskers laced with a thick layer of ice. sleet pushed forward, head down. keep going, he shouted the command in his mind. she needs you.

he wasn't sure how long he waded in the deep snow and flurry. sleet just kept going. sometimes juniper shifted on his back and he had to pause to allow her to re-position, but he never once stopped in the cold. for he knew if he did, he would find himself frozen in place, weakness dragging at his limbs.

the cacophony of the blizzard was interrupted by the distant sound of a voice. sleet fall bleakly looked up, vision hazy from snow blindness. there, in the distance, he spotted a patrol galloping forward through the snowfall.

but still, he did not slow. juniper needed him. they needed to go home.

the cats reached sleet just as he was stopping to let juniper move again, and the weight was lifted from his back. he leaned against one of his clanmates, thankful for the rest and warmth that their pelt gave. weakly, he let out a murmur in their ear. "get her home. get...get juniper home."

soon, the party reached the camp and sleet collapsed. as his eyes began to drop, and his body let go of all the tension to give way to exhaustion, he was overcome with a sense of relief.

sleet fall had done what he set out to do. juniper was safe now. they were home. finally.

"Home? On the cold leaf-bare nights, home is in the learner's den, curled up to keep warm. during the day its staying in the camp to stay warm. On the warming days of Newleaf and greenleaf it's out in the river, swimming to catch fish, or just to relax my sore paws. The water running through my fur but never touching my skin. The rustling of the leaves in the nearby forest singing their whispers to me as i pick the prey i had caught and bring it back for the clan.

Home is where the water is."

Prompt:
It was raining outside.

Walrus ran down the street, shivering as the wind buffeted him, and the rain soaked him. It was a hostile world- not only was the rain bent on his getting ill and freezing, but cars, dogs and walkers blocked his path from heading to his destination. He wished he could fly. Then he'd fly over the masses to his nest in the distance with ease. Perhaps being a duck would be nice - waterproof, too.

He finally reached the fence. He scrambled over it in desperation, jumped into the yard, and scrambled for the porch. It gave him only a bit of shelter- he leaned against the door, pawed it and let out a long, mournful cry.

Warmth hit him as the door slipped open, making him loose his balance and nearly tumble onto the feet of the human standing there. The warmth was from the fire lit in the living room, and Walrus let out a long, rumbling purr as the red glow engulfed him.

"There you are Wally! Where have you been going lately?!"

He was picked up, despite the fact he was dripping with moisture, and pressed up against the lady, who cradled him like a human baby and give him a kiss on the head.

He flopped like s wet rag across from the fire as she brought a towel and began to dry him off. He made no protest- he liked it, and was glad to be drying off.

Afterwards he was brought a piece of meat- not the disgusting cat food he'd seen Maizie, another resident of their home, eat, but one fit for a human. He wold have nothing less. Settling in to eat, Walrus thought over former days without any security, and thought of his friends living out in the forest.

His home was the place where he'd always be let in, come rain, come snow, and given a seat by the fire, where he was warmed and treated like a king.

Prompt:

Home...

Such a short word. Such a simple sound.

And yet, that word had been the centre of Heronshade's world since he could remember.

Once, it had been CuspClan. Once, he would have vividly imagined the camp, with the short-furred felines mingling with one another in the clearing. But not any longer. CuspClan stopped being his home the moment his mother died. Ever since Shadowleaf died, his beloved mate... It was impossible for CuspClan to be his home any longer.

Here, in GealachClan, was where he now lived. Was it home? He didn't know. He felt happy here. No ghosts of his beloved deceased lingered around the corners of the camp walls, or froze him in his steps. He had a nest amongst the warriors, was assigned to patrols and hunting groups, travelled through the woods and sprinted across the moors.

Was home simply where you lived? Where you simply stood physically, four paws pressed into whatever ground was beneath you? Was it more? Could he feel it? The questions burned, silent and strong within his chest.

He would look at Wisppaw, his only daughter and reminder of his old life.

She had only been a tiny kit when he left CuspClan with her; she was too young to remember anything different. GealachClan was her home, without a doubt. In fact, she would never even consider herself a former outsider, despite being born elsewhere.

Seeing her so happy, so at ease, he would wonder what feeling at home felt like. It had been so long since his world had shattered. Long enough that the fragments were slowly, piece by piece, rebuilding themselves. Not in the same pattern they once held - it was impossible to return to who he was.

And he realised that he didn't mind. He had been unable to move on for such a long time, that he didn't think it would ever happen. Yet here he was. Comfortable.

He felt an easiness within the clan. He had friends, something he'd never had more than his mother or mate to call before. And they were... nice. They were kind and helpful and would always lend an ear if he needed it.

Where he was had little bearing on his happiness - they could be on an island, or in a city, or a desert... The place didn't matter. It was who he shared his life with. The cats who laughed alongside him, who shared their meals and always looked out for one another. Where their hearts and hopes sang as one song. Each cat differed obviously, but they were each a signle snowflake creating the snowfall. Together.

This was home. And he was content.

Oh boy, this was tough to judge! I loved all these forms, but this one stood out to me the most. Congratulations!

Ahhhhh, thank you so much!!! I'm so happy Parsleystep has his mate now ≥w≤
