Society is a fickle thing. It changes inevitably, advancing slowly. But ideas only change if society lets them. Ever since their first case, their bond has only grown. First it was forced camaraderie, then friendship. Lastly, they became lovers. But in Zootopia, "Anyone can be Anything". If this is true... then who says a fox and bunny cannot become mates?

Knowledge was a key. It unlocked the mind, it freed the spirit. Almost no one knew about life outside the city-state, no one except for those in control. Nick had always lived a life of outcast and discrimination, but as society begins to crumble, he must do what he can to find the answers rarely asked for — and more importantly — to survive in a corrupted world turned against him.

An overbearing boss, a new rabbit on the force, judgmental strangers, and, of course, a series of violent murders. Because you know, thought Nick, why make things easy? [rated M for later chapters]

An assignment in Tundratown causes the already-close relationship between Nick and Judy to grow closer. And not just for warmth.
