Summary
"A prisoner of fate" is a statement that would best define Howard Lotor. Cursed with an eldritch affliction that was never going to leave him as long as he drew breath, never in his wildest dreams could he imagine that this monster would condemn him to rot in a void, after disobeying it and foiling its plans to take John Blacksad as its own.
Staking the last of his identity into an unlikely object, it falls into the hands of an imprisoned lone tiger past his prime, seeking to serve his time quietly as a fearsome reputation preceeded him. The fateful arrival of a young fox starts a series of strange events that will reluctantly have him assist in the fox's plans to escape, as the tiger becomes haunted by visions of a nameless, mangy raccoon in a trenchcoat, warning him of an imminent attempt on his life, forcing him to take action and get to the bottom of it all.

It's Always Too Late to Change by idkijustwanttowrite

Summary
Howard wakes up screaming, because he’s been shown what happens. He knows what’s to come in the future. He sees the path he went down. How he followed the trail to the Artifact, the government was on his tail, the dark place his mind fell to, the choices he made, even his death…
More importantly, he knows what happens to Larry. And he’s never going to let that happen to his best friend. Not when he can feel the crushing guilt of the Howard he hasn’t even become yet, and especially not when he knows he can change it.
-----------------------
Alternatively: Howard gets memories of the future in his dreams. Cue the mad rush to try and force everyone else to change their decisions before it's too late. Rated T because of mentions (only mentions) of drug abuse.Series

Summary
There are six different types of dogs who used to hunt raccoons for sport in the very distant past. The tradition is long lost, thankfully, and Nicky is definitely not a dog, but he most certainly would like to hunt this specific raccoon down. For the sport.

Howard is seen somewhere he wasn't supposed to be and now he owes a very rich wolf a takeout. -

Summary
A mysterious raccoon appears comatose near John Blacksad's office, without identification or a single penny to his name. In the raccoon's hand was a worn business card that led to him.
Who is he, and what is his connection to the detective? Why Blacksad, of all people?
Meanwhile, a series of gruesome murders inflame tensions between two warring factions of the Irish mob, and will soon lead to an all-out gang war, threatening to pull Blacksad and his friends into the fray.
The raccoon might be the key to stopping the conflict, but in doing so, a series of grave consequences will follow.
Takes place between Red Soul and A Silent Hell. Spoilers abound for Backbone, as it explains a good chunk of the plot for the unfamiliar.

Summary
(This story is discontinued.)
A Canadian raccoon private detective finds himself seeking asylum after blowing the lid wide open on the criminal underground back home. Finding himself in the metropolis of Zootopia, he encounters a trailblazing hare police officer who's starting to fall out of love with her line of work, and her partner (in more ways than one), a fox who quit the force out of a sense of spiritual urgency -- but who didn't have a backup plan. One fears their past, one their present, and one their future, and as a strange new threat comes upon the city, the three come together to try to solve the question: how do you help make the world a better place when you can't even help yourself?

Summary
Fanmade continuation of Backbone. Following the fallout from The Artifact, Private Investigator Howard Lotor finds himself thrust into a life filled with opportunity, where one must play both sides to guarantee their survival. However, he owes an unpayable debt to a particular Clarissa Bloodworth, who convinced Renee Wilson to take a deal that would guarantee Howard's survival. Now tools ready for Clarissa to command and recently recovered from the plague which was The Artifact, Howard and Renee find themselves formalising their partnership in a rather personal way before they look ahead towards the future... Towards becoming scourges that lay within the bowels of Vancouver.
Coarse language will be used throughout this story, although in moderation considering the original game is rated 16+. It is recommended that you do not read this if you are beneath that age range, although I am not going to stop you!

We become. And we persevere. And we change.
Howard survives, but not unscathed.(For everyone who hated the ending like I did. I'm trying to write a good ending that seemed plausible.)
