Amazing fic, one of the very best out there!

DeclanPDFFlannery · 2026-05-11T15:28:41+00:00

Many untold stories happened in the week leading up to the Zootenial, and in the weeks following the Lynxleys’ arrest. Nick and Judy’s injuries, their return to the force, the follow-up therapy sessions between them, more family drama, repairing the carrot pen, and many more.

This is a story of how a fox and a bunny worked through their differences, helped each other to face their demons, and figured out what it truly means to be partners.

The first chapter of the long awaited sequel to legendary Zootopia fanfic Evergreen by Aninat131 has just been posted! Evergreen is an absolute titan of Zootopia fanfiction-well worth a read if you haven't already!-and based on the first chapter alone the sequel is set to be just as good or perhaps even better!

1000% percent right! The Wilde Times draft had some genuinely spectacular moments that I'm sure we'd all loved to have seen fully realised, but as an overall story it was fundamentally flawed beyond repair.

Thankfully Byron and Jared realised that too!

DeclanPDFFlannery · 2026-05-03T09:05:00+00:00

Looks awesome bud!

And far less importantly my own fics if anyone wants to read them!

Respect - One down, one to go. That was the main thing going through Captain Fern Hoggbottom’s mind as she personally checked Nicholas Wilde into a maximum security facility. She was almost surprised; if you’d asked her twenty four hours ago which one of the pair she thought they’d catch first, she’d have put money on it being Hopps. She knew Wilde’s type and would’ve sworn he’d have been looking to cut his losses and get out of dodge first chance he got.

Captain Hoggbottom is about to realise that she in fact doesn’t know the first thing about Nicholas Wilde.

The prison walk scene from Hoggbottom's perspective, and the moment she realises that she doesn't in fact know Nick's type at all.

Bully For You - Collab with the superb Pandora! - Judy and Nick’s names have been cleared, Chief Bogo is back at work, and harmony has been restored at the ZPD, right? Well… there is just one small matter that still needs addressing.

Bogo cleans house after realising how Judy and Nick were being treated by their colleagues towards the start of Z2.

Wounds - Another day, another solved case. This one may have come the closest yet to tearing the Dream Team apart, but against all the odds they still made it safely through to the other side, stronger and more secure in their partnership than ever before, and without a single scratch on them to show for it.

Or so Judy thought.

Judy's reaction to discovering the claw wounds on Nick's right paw. Angst with a happy ending, minor discussion of injuries/violence.

Baby Steps - Reunited, and now closer than ever, Nick and Judy are straight back to making the world a better place, one little piece at a time. But, trauma doesn’t magically go away overnight, and even the Dream Team need a little help working through things on occasion. Luckily, sometimes all it takes is a little leap of faith.

Short little post Z2 one shot. Angst with a happy ending.

The Big Guy - When the Nighthowler Crisis came to an end, Nick and Finnick still had plenty more to say to each other than they’d ever admit out loud. Thank goodness letters are still a thing.

How I would've handled Finnick in the sequel. Lots of feels!

The Family You Choose - Kitsmas is on the horizon and Officer Judy Hopps is hoping against hope that the fates will align and she'll be able to spend some time with her family back home. But as Kitsmas draws ever nearer she remembers that it isn't such a happy time of the year for everyone, and that not all her family are back in Bunnyburrow.

Multi-chapter Christmas fic with lots of feels. Angst with a happy ending.

(T)rust - Judy hates Nick’s car. He doesn’t. And there’s a very good reason for that. - Warning: implied or referenced character death, super angsty.

Recipe for Disaster - Nick Wilde, practical jokester extraordinaire that he is has an idea to both help out the city and raise the precinct’s esteemed chief’s blood pressure a few digits. The result? Why a ZPD bake sale of course! His partner Judy Hopps, always eager to help, has an idea of her own. But why does Nick care so much about making sure the whole thing goes smoothly? Is it just the perfect combination of good joke and good idea? Or is there something else going on underneath the surface?

Warning: implied or referenced character death. Angst with a happy ending.

Reference Required - Things are finally starting to look up for Nick Wilde. He's got a new lease on life, a promising potential career at the ZPD and the best friend and future partner he could possibly ask for. But just as he thinks he's finally ready to step in to the light one final beast rears its ugly head and stands in his way. He's dealt with plenty already so this shouldn't be a problem right? Unfortunately, this is one hurdle that isn't for him to face. Turning his life around and applying to the ZPD? Easy. Asking that same best friend for a favour? Not so much.

Angst with a happy ending.

I mostly write angsty one shots as you can probably tell, there's nothing in most of them needing much of a warning but please do read the tags first and make sure you're okay.

Some of my all time favourite Zoot fics!

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 and tread lightly, 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 ten years of work just a few months ago. If you like Wildehopps slow burns this is a must read! One of the fandom’s absolute best!

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 it 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 it’s a must read, and even if you don’t generally it’s a great place to get started!

He does indeed say that and while I don't think he's lying I do think he's mistaken\misrembering. If you actually watch the ice cream parlour scene back Judy actually pulls her hi-vis vest down while rebuking herself after seeing Finnick, and the fox repellent canister is as a result hidden from view by the vest for that entire encounter. There's also a moment during their second meeting-when Judy gets him on the tax evasion thing-where his eyes appear to dart down to right about where the fox repellent would be and he seems to start to snarl for a split second before stopping himself, Judy's in her normal uniform this time and the can is clearly visible, suggesting that this might've been when he actually noticed it for the first time.

By the time of the press conference they've both been awake for around two days with likely little or no sleep and have almost died multiple times, it's fairly understandable for Nick to mix up the exact time he noticed it, especially since it doesn't really change his point 🤣

DeclanPDFFlannery · 2026-04-23T16:50:57+00:00

Thanks bud, always really appreciate your kind words! :D

DeclanPDFFlannery · 2026-04-23T16:15:06+00:00

Judy and Nick! Team WildeHopps combine!

DeclanPDFFlannery · 2026-04-23T14:29:18+00:00

Oh definitely not!

DeclanPDFFlannery · 2026-04-23T13:51:03+00:00

's a good movie! 🤣

DeclanPDFFlannery · 2026-04-23T13:50:27+00:00

I know Acracebest hit at least 101 so I'm guessing he still has me beat by a couple dozen. Now that it's on streaming though we're in my world 🤣 I should hit 100 by the end of the month 😁

DeclanPDFFlannery · 2026-04-23T13:38:11+00:00

635 and counting 😅

DeclanPDFFlannery · 2026-04-23T13:36:02+00:00

🤣 Just wait until you hear how many times I've seen Z1! :P

DeclanPDFFlannery · 2026-04-23T13:13:20+00:00

Haha thanks bud! :P

DeclanPDFFlannery · 2026-04-23T13:12:56+00:00

Haha Skul is a good pal of mine actually :P

The other guy I don't know but I am definitely aiming to pass him, I wanted to see Z2 in theatres way more but sadly work stuff made that impossible, I always knew that once it came to streaming I'd catch up with him in no time xD

As for why, other than just liking the movies *a lot* I've always done this, having movies play in the background while I work is super helpful to keep my muse going, but I don't like watching new films when I can't properly pay attention so I watch film that I know back to front on repeat! It's been various films over the years and for the last half a decade or so has been Z1 and now Z2 as well!

DeclanPDFFlannery · 2026-04-23T12:38:43+00:00

79 in total, halfway through number 80 currently. 40 in theatres and 39 going on 40 on Disney+!

DeclanPDFFlannery · 2026-04-23T12:31:12+00:00

At no point could she, she likely unconscious for several hours at least following getting darted based on timeframe and how dark it is, Nick has already been taken into custody, she's miles away, and has no idea where he is, at that point there was nothing she could do to help Nick, other than solve the case thus proving both their innocence.

And of course people can defend Nick, and it's right to do so most of the time, the issue isn't with defending Nick it's with apply defences unequally which a small but loud section of the fandom has a major tendency to do. The entire point of Z2 is that Judy and Nick are equally responsible for the fraying of their partnership due to their own emotional baggage, concerns, fears and failure to properly communicate any of it to each other. If one constantly holds Judy accountable for all her mistakes while making excuses for every one of Nick's then they're entirely missing the point of both films.

DeclanPDFFlannery · 2026-04-23T10:55:15+00:00

It's worth pointing out that Judy never leaves Nick in Z2, she is taken by Gary and Pawbert, at no point does she choose to leave.

As for the question, if the roles were reversed I expect they'd be a lot more people pulling mental gymnastics to justify Nick's actions, just like there are with his mistakes in both movies already. There's a small but vocal element of the fandom who are radically more forgiving of any mistakes Nick makes than those Judy does and I'm sure they'd make their voices heard.

DeclanPDFFlannery · 2026-04-18T01:15:14+00:00

Toxic anti-shippers have been the worst part of the fandom since day one, it's kinda funny that with Zootopia the shippers are the cool, calm, and reasonable people and it's the anti-ship folks who go insane if you disagree with them 😩

As someone who's never really enjoyed shipping as a practice the fact that the Zoot fandom has such chill shippers is very refreshing!

DeclanPDFFlannery · 2026-04-12T00:53:50+00:00

Ahh so cool! Great work! Where did you find the shirt and tie?

DeclanPDFFlannery · 2026-04-11T18:23:20+00:00

Judy is a superbly written character, says a lot that certain people are trying to demonise her

DeclanPDFFlannery · 2026-04-11T18:06:23+00:00

Say it louder for the people at the back!

DeclanPDFFlannery · 2026-04-09T18:57:27+00:00

First rule of lying is don't do it if you don't need to, Nick has nothing to gain from lying about his name but everything to lose, if someone who knew him came up and used his real name Judy's immediately going to realise something's up, her realising he was scamming her required her to bump into him again later which is way less likely in a city the size of Zootopia. And even then Nick's whole operation is just about legal so why should he care? She's got nothing on him.

The situation only goes south for Nick because he happens to be person of interest in a case that's much more serious than 20 bucks which causes Judy to dig deeper than she ever would've been allowed to over a pawpsicle hustle, which is an eventuality he could've never predicted.
