Summary
“Hey Nick, are you attracted to bunnies?”
He froze at his desk. This would’ve been an uncomfortably invasive question no matter the source, but Nick was particularly touchy about it now considering he was being asked by the main source of his attraction to bunnies, one Officer Judy Hopps.
In which Nick and Judy discover that they might just be each other's type.
Inspired by a deleted scene from Zootopia 2 where another rabbit flirts with Nick.

Summary
Mr. Litwak isn't stupid. He knows more than most would think. Oneshot.

Bookmarker's Notes
Very creative study of a minor character that I never would have thought twice about, which in a way is one of the main themes of the original film - that anyone can be the protagonist of their own story, no matter how unlikely it seems from the outside. I love how the glimpses of sentient arcade games creep in slowly enough that they don't feel out of place next to more grounded anecdotes about starting a business and chasing the American Dream. The scene in the arcade during Turbo's takeover is terrifying to think about, and the denouement is a wonderfully sentimental, cinematic ending.
Favorite Line:
"And make sure you never get rid of Tapper's!" Someone yelled, and a chorus of laughs came around.
"Yeah, if he gets unplugged we'll riot!"
"Go on strike!"

Bookmarker's Notes
This is a wide-ranging slow burn that explores Franziska's character in a really approachable way and also integrates her seamlessly into the second half of the mainline Ace Attorney saga. The way she steps in to be Trucy's mother figure is especially wholesome.
I enjoyed the many references to series lore, including several mentions of an older Von Karma sister, which is a character that I completely forgot was canon. Franziska is just prevalent enough in the games that the author has a decent foundation to work with while maintaining the freedom to take her point-of-view to previously unexplored places.
Favorite Line:
Her cheeks flush a bit at that, and she is surprised how desperately she needs the recognition. Phoenix Wright, who has gone against her father, her brother, and now her – seeing her as an equal? Impossible.
And yet, every bit of her Von Karma heritage is pleased. Even if it is the words of a mere defense –
“Ms. Von Karma? Are you still there?”
“I will be back to crush you soon enough,” she blurts out, slamming down the phone.

Maya has always wanted to help others. Doing so without sacrificing herself is a lesson hard learnt.
A character study of Maya and her relationship to channeling.

An interesting look at how a character as naturally carefree as Maya Fey would struggle with (and eventually make peace with) the immense amount of responsibility that was thrust upon her from a young age.
Favorite Line:

Summary
A boy is born in Gerudo Town, and Riju needs to make a choice.

Bookmarker's Notes
A mature depiction of the ways in which morality, tradition, and politics would interact in a fantasy world. The cycle of Gerudo males only being born once per century has always been one of the strangest features of established Zelda lore, but the author grapples with the implications of it in a way that still feels grounded. Bonus points for centering Riju.
Favorite Line:
“If you were in my place, would you kill him?”
She already knows the answer. Above all, Buliara is dutiful. She is a great soldier, the best of them. She would do exactly what needs to be done, as she should. Perhaps that’s why Riju asks: to have her duty reaffirmed.
Buliara is quiet. She stares at Riju, expression pinched. Her hand rises, as if to touch something, but it drops again. Then, she breathes in deep and answers: “No, I would not.”
Riju’s mouth falls open before she can stop it. She quickly clicks it shut. “Why?” she asks, and she almost cringes at how greedy she sounds.
“There is no honor in killing infants,” Buliara says simply.

Summary
[Pre-BotW] Link and Zelda arrive at Gerudo Town with a request for Urbosa. Link's arrival, however, is more than he bargained for. ["You there. Champion. Do you possess any talents at all, or does that darkness-sealing relic choose its owner based on how pretty they look?"] [oneshot, Link/Urbosa]

Bookmarker's Notes
A wonderful showcase of the contrast between Link's quiet humility and Urbosa's blazing pride, culminating in an intense, weighty fight scene. In addition to the characterization, I love how the author describes the beauty of the Gerudo Desert, even introducing new lore to flesh out Breath of the Wild's version of Greater Hyrule.
Favorite Line:
"In ages past, the Gerudo were a scattering of tribes. We waged terrible wars against each other, and the desert drank oceans of our blood. Eventually, we realized that we were only bringing about our own destruction. But our feuds ran deep, and pride would not allow us to bow. So each tribe sent forth their chief – their greatest warrior – to the coliseum of Korsh O'Hu, and for seven days and seven nights, the chiefs battled to determine the supreme ruler of our race. But at the dawn of the eighth day, when the sun lit upon the blood-splattered sands, each chief saw that the others still stood, and they understood the strength of their sisters, and they threw down their weapons and acknowledged the futility of war. The Seven emerged as one from the coliseum, and the Gerudo were born."
