History Fanfic / GuardianBlue

* SavageWolves: Cherry is [[CanisMajor enormous]], [[{{Yandere}} stalkeriffic]], delusional, an adrenaline junkie, and not afraid to [[spoiler: torture her ex-boyfriend, or take on cops (even elephant cops or other wolves)]].

''Guardian Blue'' is an extensive, long-running ''WesternAnimation/{{Zootopia}}'' fanfic written by Alps Sarsis, comprising of multiple interrelated stories [[{{Continuation}} beginning six months after the events of the movie]]. Most prominently are the "seasons", all of which are told from Judy Hopps' perspective, but there are several side works - some of which are told from Judy's perspective, some from other characters'. However, these works all take place in a specific order, and many (Sarsis included) recommend that new readers read them in order - beginning with ''Thanks for the Fox''.

* '''''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/13874982 Season 3]]'':''' With a new [[spoiler:Acting Chief of Police]], and a new dynamic in their relationship, Nick and Judy return to average police work. Compared to Seasons 1 and 2, Season 3 seems to deal more with their day-to-day lives as officers, bordering on PoliceProcedural. Still in progress as of April 2023.

* '''''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/40214016 Radio Fin]]'':''' Takes place around the same time as Season 3. Finnick, Nick's old hustling partner, after some consideration, decides to follow him in going straight, taking a job at a local small radio station. But he finds the station to be a poorly run mess, to the point that their DJ's a no-show. If only someone with a striking enough voice were on hand to take his place… Still in process as of April 2023.

Sarsis also published '''''[[https://archiveofourown.org/series/951816 Guardian Blue After Dark]]''''': a series of two works that take place in the same continuity as the other stories, but because they contain more explicit content, and because they are not necessary to read any of the other works, Sarsis hasn't linked ''After Dark'''s stories to the other works on the Archive Of Our Own version (on that site, ''After Dark'' is rated "E" - the other works are rated "T").

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: While [[spoiler:Acting Chief Mayumi Tora]] may not be as brawny as her predecessor, her skill in martial arts makes her more than capable of holding her own in a fight, as [[spoiler:Cherry]] learns the hard way.

* InterspeciesRomance: Judy and Nick eventually, and also Jack and Skye.

* '''''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/13908861 Sheepless in New Reynard]]'':''' A follow-up to the events of ''Winter Hearth''. A few ill-placed remarks in ''Winter Hearth'' wind up sending Sharla Shearer, Judy's childhood friend, to the fox-dominated town of New Reynard in search of her missing brother, Gareth. [[ConspiracyTheorist Honey]], the badger Sharla's been sent to meet, is hostile, but may just be her best shot at finding Gareth...

* SeldomSeenSpecies: African Wild Dogs, or Lycaons, as they are called in-universe, feature prominently in the Interior arc of Season 2.

* UnfortunateImplications: A played-with, in-universe example. The game of "Munch" - popular in Bunnyburrow - is essentially like a game of Tag. Only, only one person can be considered "it," and this person is designated the "fox" of the match. Naturally, Judy is worried about running into this trope when Munch is brought up during her and Nick's visit to Bunnyburrow.
** However, this is {{Subverted}} in that [[spoiler:Nick has actually played the game himself - won trophies in it even]].

** With regards to fox culture, plenty to Disney's ''WesternAnimation/RobinHood'', by virtue of having a fox version of Robin who occupies a similar place in Zootopian mythology that real-world {{Myth/Robin Hood}} does in ours.

* [[RefittedForSequel Refitted for Fanfic]]: Some characters, like Jack, Skye, Honey, and Councillor Swinton all hail from [[{{WhatCouldHaveBeen/Zootopia}} early drafts and unused concepts for the movie]].

* TheMainCharactersDoEverything: {{Subverted}} in Season 2. [[spoiler:while Judy, Nick, and co. were being menaced by Lanolin's assassins, Chief Bogo and the rest of the ZPD were doing the heavy lifting in terms of arresting their bosses]].

* IAteWhat: Judy's first encounter with eating fish.
** Nick also accidentally gets a taste of [[{{YoureDrinkingBreastMilk}} bunny breast milk]].

* OnlyMostlyDead: [[spoiler:Vivienne Wilde]] in ''Thanks For the Fox''.

*** Nick's tax evasion was also overlooked in exchange for his testimony, and since Nick was going to be taking a government paycheck anyway as a police officer, it was agreed that [[WorkOffTheDebt he could pay back what he owed by having a cut taken out of his salary]].

* MyGreatestFailure: Judy considers her role in creating the Night Howler Panic during the movie to be this.
