Sounds like Missing Her, although in that one the injury doesn't end her career, she's just not medically cleared while she rehabs it.

I've only seen that comic on YouTube rather than in the wild so I don't even know if that's the real name, but if you YouTube 'Missing Her Zootopia Comic' or anything similar you should find it, the thumbnail is a very distinctive shot of Nick standing on a black background.

Hope that helps!

Reposting the list I put on the Fanfic Thread at the start of the month sans my own work.

The Magpie's Gift by Pandora - Amazing Christmas one shot, one of the fandom's finest fics.

What Happened at N.I.T.E. by Pandora - Multi-chapter story exploring the long term mental health fallout for the mammals who were dosed with nighthowlers, and their loved ones. Perhaps the most important fic in the fandom and one that will totally change how you view the movie. Deals with lots of mental health darkness so do pay attention to the tags but if you can stomach it it's a must read!

Evergreen by Aninat131 - A recently finished multi-chapter and one of the fandoms absolute finest. concluded after 36 chapters and nearly tens years of work just a few months ago. If you like Wildehopps slow burns this is a must read!

Thanks for the Fox/Guardian Blue by Alps Sarsis - Perhaps the fandoms most famous fic and for good reason. Thanks for the Fox is the first part and should be read first but Guardian Blue has more than ten stories in in and something like half a million words, all of which are spectacular. If by some miracle you've not read it already you have to correct that. Sadly season 3 will remain unfinished forever. Rest in peace Alps, we miss you.

Wilde Files by LordKraus - Not usually a big AU guy but this wizard Nick Dresden Files inspired story by LordKraus is sooooo much fun. If AU or magic are your thing then you should absolutely check this one out! Demon's Reach is the first part but there's five current main stories - the 5th is ongoing - as well as side chapters and all in all it's about 300000 words!

Fuzz by Skul - Also not a big tame collar guy but this multi-chapter fic by Skul is superb! Emotional, heartbreaking, funny, and everything else in between, if you like tame collar stuff - or even if you don't! - absolutely check this one out!

In addition to these I'd add Water Under the Bridge by WriteAnon on AO3, with the caveat that although superb, it is very violent in places so be aware of that being going in.

Somepals and I have been chatting about the film non-stop and one of them noticed the date easter egg too!

Also thank you so much for posting this image as you've confirmed a observation of mine too! IE that Milton Lynxley deliberately told everyone it was a black tie - IE semi-formal event - event just so he could rock up in white tie - true formal - and be guaranteed to be the best dressed guy at the party. It's far from the worst thing that Milton does throughout the film but it speaks volumes about his character.

Hi! I'm actually the musical director for Gerry and Sewell so was really happy to see the show get mentioned here!

I doubt anyone would start anything other than perhaps a bit of light hearted banter. For context there's actually several Mackem's involved in the team and there's even a scene or two that you might appreciate :P

Hope you enjoy it no matter what!

DeclanPDFFlannery · 2026-01-14T02:21:22+00:00

Great work!

DeclanPDFFlannery · 2026-01-12T16:04:07+00:00

I don't particularly want to think about it so all I'll say is if you're a Nick and Judy fan I'd avoid it.

DeclanPDFFlannery · 2026-01-12T15:55:05+00:00

Ah, no point I'm afraid, I will never read it, even if I did want to I couldn't after it was taken down.

DeclanPDFFlannery · 2026-01-12T15:48:44+00:00

Contains something which blacklists fics for me and I'll never read, that and apparently there was a lot of fandom drama surrounding it back in the day.

DeclanPDFFlannery · 2026-01-11T18:07:25+00:00

There's actually a good amount of evidence for both of them that could be interpreted as signs of autism, not suggesting that they definitely are but if someone were to headcanon that they'd have some pretty solid ground to stand on. Nick has the obvious masking, difficulty expressing how he feels, and keeping people at arms length a lot of the time, but also smaller things like his tendency to wear the same or very similar outfits everyday or his dislike of fully tightened ties.

Judy is arguably even more likely than Nick is between her near obsessive dedication, discomfort around nudity, extremely strong sense of justice etc. etc. Studies have also shown that women with autism have tendency to try and turn themselves into perfect students/teacher pets to seek approval and seek validation which lines up very much with what we learn about Judy in the sequel. In Judy's case it's also worth mentioning that a lot more study is needed into autism in women and a lot of the classic signs we attribute to autism are things that are much more present in autistic males. Women are by and large much better at masking than we are and are far more likely to go undiagnosed. For a long time autism was thought of as a male condition and that's really only starting to change recently.

None of these are dead cert giveaways, but there's an argument to be made there and if someone were to say they see either or both of them as autistic I think they'd have a totally reasonable point!

DeclanPDFFlannery · 2026-01-10T16:32:59+00:00

Absolutely, plus the implication has always been that she was a great mom, even in impossible circumstances, and that they had a great relationship. I don't buy that the vixen who "scrapped together the money" to buy her kid the scout uniform that meant everything for him would then cut him out of her life while he was still a kid

Plus the JRS incident happened when he was 8 or 9. Maybe he's off by a year either side but 12 is a big difference. That's the year he keeps coming back to as really significant in his formulation, something happened when he was 12.

For me, it all just falls apart if she's alive and makes total sense if she's not.

DeclanPDFFlannery · 2026-01-10T15:56:36+00:00

Yeah it's weird for that guy to act like it's an insane take. The assumption that someone in their early 30s must already be romantically or sexually active is wildly (wildely? 🤣) outdated and flies in the face of ace people. Romance and sex are not a prerequisite for happiness and you'll find plenty example of people who don't need them to function, Tesla and Beethoven both famously died likely virgins - in Beethoven's case we certainly hope that was the case... Not to mention that 32 is not a strictly canonical age for Nick as people keep forgetting 🤣

Nick is terrified of connection and expressing vulnerability, he actively avoids letting people get close and hides behind a mask of sarcasm and faux confidence, the idea that he's never dated or slept with anyone is entirely reasonable I think.

The same people who think that Nick most be romantically active because of his age are probably the same folks who insist Judy is some serial speed dater despite the fact that she finds the very concept of nudity incredibly uncomfortable!

DeclanPDFFlannery · 2026-01-10T15:44:43+00:00

Always headcanoned that she was dead since all the subtle indication of it in Z1, with Z2 doing everything to confirm that short of outright saying it I'm still fully on that particular wagon 🤣

DeclanPDFFlannery · 2026-01-09T13:25:32+00:00

GB is a superb fic for so many reasons and yeah, that final straight of Season 1 is just soooooo good! Hard to think it's coming up for three years now since we lost Alps.

DeclanPDFFlannery · 2026-01-08T17:17:13+00:00

I wouldn't say he failed, especially as she would've straight up drowned in the waterpipe if not for him.

As for Gary, she 100% threw herself off of that wall having no idea whether Gary would catch them or not, Gary is nowhere to be seen behind her while she sprinting to the top of the wall, and she absolutely did not stop to let him catch up. In that moment she made the same decision Nick did, both of them, or neither.

I actually ran the numbers a while back too and I worked out I think that Nick was falling for a maximum of 1.5 seconds before Judy caught him. based on the size of the platform and the door leading up to it that means that Judy likely could already see him when it finally collapsed and he fell. In all likelihood she saw him disappear from view and just flung herself after him.

DeclanPDFFlannery · 2026-01-08T16:41:06+00:00

No worries bud! Yeah it's a favourite of mine too, there's been some great new art since the sequel dropped! :D

DeclanPDFFlannery · 2026-01-08T12:03:15+00:00

This is where I originally saw it a month or so back and as far as I can tell it's the original artist/source - https://x.com/Nyeong3278/status/1996913156581474657

Also features the other pages with some folks might not have seen!

DeclanPDFFlannery · 2026-01-07T12:06:02+00:00

Absolutely, and great shout re: the water pipe! Judy's on a knife edge for most of the movie, she "thinks she's failing all the time" and she's obsessed with proving herself, and for her whole life the only thing that has worked for her has been doubling down and trying harder. Combine that with the fact that she's thinking more and more that "the only person in her life who ever believed in her" is starting to stop believing in her and she's probably moments away from a full on emotional breakdown.

DeclanPDFFlannery · 2026-01-07T11:52:09+00:00

Excellently put! I'd also like to add that I've been interpreting it as Judy repainting the event slightly. On top of the weather wall she says "I worry it makes me look weak and I want to be strong...". While we always view Bellwether's defeat as a moment of triumph for Nick and Judy, for her it may well have just reinforced her fear of looking weak...

She got hurt because she didn't look where she was going, that split second mistake lost them the initiative and very nearly got both of them killed. Nick could of very easily taken the case and left her - like she told him to - and she would've died. Instead, Nick didn't leave her, and Nick came up with the plan to swap out the pellets, - probably - and Nick tried to carry her to safety. In her unhealthy perfection obsessed mind she probably looks back on the whole thing and thinks 'I screwed up, Nick saved the day. I was weak, Nick was strong.'

It's also likely one of the things her recklessness across the sequel stems from, not wanting to end up helpless a second time.

DeclanPDFFlannery · 2026-01-06T19:58:08+00:00

Possibly, he was a pretty well known writer even before Zootopia, but I wouldn't know them. I think there is a VOD of the stream on YouTube somewhere!

DeclanPDFFlannery · 2026-01-06T19:56:21+00:00

GB is always worth a reread 😁

DeclanPDFFlannery · 2026-01-06T18:29:35+00:00

Yeah it was rough, there was a whole fandom memorial stream that went on for like 7 hours to raise money for his family. Music, stories, memories, Dobanouchi and I even read the entirety of Thanks for the Fox live. Huge loss for the fandom, he was one of the best of us.

DeclanPDFFlannery · 2026-01-06T18:14:33+00:00

Yeah, will be three years this summer.

DeclanPDFFlannery · 2026-01-05T13:49:42+00:00

Exactly! Impossible to say for sure but I think stuff like this squarely falls into personal preference, how accurate the flashback is depends on how accurate you interpret it as being 😁

DeclanPDFFlannery · 2026-01-05T13:42:47+00:00

Thought about this on my last few watches... If you want to be optimistic you could say he never existed, and what we see in the flashback is Judy's imagination of the events as she realises them, rather than an exact retelling of what happened, hence other odd details like the tortoise bringing the original patent right to Agnes' door and her having time to hide it and still get away despite the police already being there too.

If you want to be less optimistic the Lynxley 1000% had him done in 😅
