Hidden Prophecies, or Prophices as it is spelled, is a Warrior Cats fic written by Tainted Purification. It might be a Troll Fic deconstruction of typical Original Character Warriors fanfiction and possibly the series itself, if only because of the not-so-kid-friendly violence.
The story stars Moonshimmer as we learn about her adventures in Emeraldclan (Or was it Sapphireclan?) as she learns of a mysterious prophecy, meets many new friends, fights ridiculously violent battles, and discovers that her brother Lilypaw wants to...you guessed it- take over the clans. (OF COURSE!)

This fanfic contains examples of:
- Anatomically Impossible Sex: Goldenmask and Mysteryheart are said to have had kits together, despite both being listed as queens in the allegiances.
- Back from the Dead: Moonshimmer has powers to bring back characters from the dead, and she uses them a few times. However, some characters, such as Sunsetshine, come back from the dead with no explanation.
- Beware the Nice Ones: Gaysparkle somehow turned out to be evil.
- Break the Cutie: One particular scene in chapter five, in which Lilypaw attempts to do this to Gaypaw with... short-term results.
- Came Back Wrong: Jasminedung, in her zombie form.
- Captain Obvious: "Being mean means you are not nice."
- Not to mention all the instances of "X who was really Y in disguise!"
- The Chosen One: In Chapter 3, rays of light shine on Moonpaw/Moonshimmer, and then she gets a prophecy stating: "Moonpaw! You are the chosen one!"
- Death by Childbirth: Seemingly what happens to Moonpaw, Tranquilpaw, and Lilypaw's mother.
- Department of Redundancy Department: "I am Ancient!" said Ancient. And he was Ancient!
- "Yes it is dark! And soon your eyes will be very accustomed to the dark! Because you'll be stuck here in the dark!" Jasminedung said, but they only knew it was her because of her voice, because it was dark!
- "...his orange fur glowing in the glow of the glowing blue moon."
- Emphasize EVERYTHING: During intense scenes, practically every sentence ends with an exclamation point. This is unintentionally hilarious as it gives the sense that whoever is telling the story is way too cheerful.
- Enfante Terrible: Lilykit murdering Lavenderstar. Bonus points to the fact that he had only just been born.
- "Everybody Laughs" Ending: Chapter 16. Yes, the same chapter where Gaysparkle rips the legs off Sunsetshine's kits.
- Everyone Is Bi: Not everyone as far as we know, but no one seems to care about gender.
- Everything's Deader with Zombies: with "zombie-zombie" Jasminedung.
- Eye Scream: Lilypaw gets his eye clawed out.
- Gender Bender:
- Sunsetshine... male or female? Who knows?
- Gaysparkle occasionally shifted to female for a while.
- Gorn:
- From chapter 1:“He screeched as the enemy warrior ripped his belly apart and his guts spilled out onto the ground. Blood leaked everywhere shining in the midday sun! It flowed crimson until it had leaked onto the paws of every warrior standing around! Suddenly they all jumped into battle and began slashing at each other left and right. It could have all been avoided if they had listened to Moonpaw's wise and insightful words.”
- In the same chapter, we get this gem:
- From chapter 1:
- Heroic BSoD: Vanillastar suffers heavily from this, breaking down into full-on emo because he thinks he's an awful leader.
- Incest Subtext: Chocolaterain with Moonshimmer. Of course, he's grown up somehow and forgot that she is his mother, so it's okay! And now she's bearing his kits.
- Lampshaded Double Entendre:
- “"Now if you will please excuse me I have to get back to your sister! We have some mmm... plans tonight if you know what I mean!"”
- Lampshade Hanging: "This is such a shocking and horrible turn of events." Moonshimmer said sadly.
- Large Ham: Every sentence must be ended in exclamation points! Even if it doesn't need emphasis! This girl needs to stop abusing the shift-1 key! I don't know anyone who uses exclamation points so much!
- Love at First Sight: Shadowseeker with Moonpaw.
- “They all went to the gathering place. Moonpaw was amazed by what she saw! Four giant gemstones that glowed in the full moon! It was so beautiful, and the glow hit Moonpaw's pelt and made her more beautiful. It made Shadowseeker fall in love with her!”
- Not to mention Dancekit, Moonpaw's newborn nephew who decides that he's going to be her mate when he grows up.
- Love Dodecahedron: Great StarClan... Vanillastar/Lavenderstar, Vanillastar/Moonshimmer, Moonshimmer/Phantom, Phantom/Triolet, Phantom/Deathstar, Deathstar/Jasminedung, Jasminedung/Sunsetshine, Sunsetshine/Daydreamheart, Sunsetshine/Gaysparkle, Shadowseeker/Sunsetshine, Shadowseeker/Moonshimmer, Moonshimmer/Gaysparkle, Gaysparkle/Tranquildream, Gaysparkle/Deathstar, Ancient/Deathstar...
- Gaysparkle, and also Tranquildream for a few paragraphs.
- Luke, I Am Your Father: Happens twice. First, when Sparklestar is revealed to be the mother of the three siblings... and then when Sunsetshine, the gender-bending cat is revealed to be their father, despite having been pregnant just a little while ago and then going back to nursing kits just a couple of chapters later.
- Mood-Swinger: The author's notes.
- “All of you flamers are stupid so go away and leave me alone! I NEVER DID ANYTHING TO YOU SO JUST SHUT UP AND GO AWAY! I HATE YOU ALL! thakn you to all the people hwo support my writing, you are all nice and i appreciate it. ALL OF THE REST OF YOU GO AWAY!”
- Shaped Like Itself: Gaypaw "looked like something out of a beautiful picture of cats!"
- Shout-Out: In Chapter 16, Deathstar calls Gaysparkle Gallifrey as a nickname.
- Shut Up, Hannibal!: Lilyblossom in Chapter 13 calls everyone in Emeraldclan/Sapphireclan stupid. His sister, Tranquildream, tells him to shut up.
- "Oh geeze, shut your stupid mouth already Lilyblossom!" Tranquildream hissed, turning around and scratching her brother on the nose! No one had expected her to do this since she was usually so calm and kind and easy going. She had just finally lost her temper.Lilyblossom did not know what to do. He had blood dripping off of his nose and into his open mouth. His ears went flat. He had just been told to shut up in front of the whole Emeraldclan! This was so embarrassing."If you would just keep your stupid mouth shut and stop being such a mean cat you could be a good member of this clan. But no… you won't. You just carry on and on and I am sick of it so SHUT UP STUPID LILYBLOSSOM!"
