Not So Black And White is a 101 Dalmatian Street fanfic written by Spotty8ee. A series of short drabbles about 101 Dalmatian Street and how the family came together primarily focuses on Delilah and Doug, how they met and got together. It also showcases how the pups became who they are, such as how Deepak learned about the philosophy of the Great Guru Miaow.
It has some AU elements as humans and animals are treated as equals, which the author shows how that would work in society. This also affects canon but has yet to reach that within the story (The author says that's a ways off).
