Sunderance - In the Hall of the Mountain King
Chapter 20
Complete They changed cars three times in fifteen minutes. She had seen this sort of thing happen in the movies but had never expected to be doing it herself. They returned to the office to give her a chance to collect anything she might have needed to continue investigating on her own while he was gone, a time during which he had made a phone call that even her sensitive ears picked up as light muttering. After announcing that she had everything she needed and following him outside again, she had been surprised to find that the car waiting outside wasn’t the same one they had been driving around in for the past week.

Sunderance: Chapter 2
Katabasis It should not have surprised her that the train was abandoned for her trip into the city, but it certainly did nothing to calm her nerves. It had been easier to arrange to have herself delivered into a city that was hostile for a cause, with the conviction of her belief and goals strong in her heart, than it was to follow the darkly dressed fox. Her convictions had solid ground, certainty, and her years of study to support her and make her feel stable. This fox, this Red Fox, that she walked a few steps behind as he made his way towards the observation deck was an unknown. I can protect you. There was no mistakin...

Sunderance - Chapter 15: Reflection (Complete)
Silence had followed them into the office, though she had expected that after the fox had taken a full ten minutes checking every room, every corner, and every shadow. She understood. Even with the surprising revelations that he had shared with her about Yurei, he had also reminded her that someone had sent a squad of killers to do what the tiger had failed in. The idea of questioning him never crossed her mind and she stayed just inside the doorway, her eyes following him as he moved from one side of the room to the next so quietly that the only sound she could detect was that of her own heartbeat in her ears. Thorough wasn’t the word...

Sunderance: Chapter 11 - The Devil in The Detail
The interrogation room at the ZPD, also known as the I.I.U. for the sake of keeping the word ‘interrogation’ out of actual interrogations, was about as welcoming and comforting as the inside of a refrigerator with no food. It was a perfect square, with one large and obviously two-way mirror on one wall and cameras in two corners in opposite corners that kept a constant eye on both mammals that sat at the small metal table in the center of the much larger table. The chairs, designed to hang from the sides of the large table when not in use, were only lightly cushioned and being ram-rod straight backs ruined any idea of comfortable reclining. It was not a place intended to make anyone feel comfortable, or unwatched. Bland gray walls and air stale with the scent of multiple past visitors only added to the discomfort as an affront to the eyes.
Judith Hopps was well familiar with rooms like this. She had been in more than a dozen d

“The DMV?”
Judy really hadn’t intended the question to come out with an amused lilt but she was in a mood that wouldn’t allow her to maintain an entirely professional attitude. At least, not as she walked beside the fox as he led her away from the car. The feeling of uncertainty that trickled through her mind was mostly because of how confused the rest of her emotions seemed to be. She couldn’t decide between abject terror that tempted her nose to twitch every time she looked at him and the pleasant giddiness that set her stomach into excited spins now and then. Their dinner conversation had been the groundwork for something more than what they were now, of that she had no doubt.
Mutual attraction. Glancing at him now as he led her around to the side of the building, she couldn’t deny her own. His expression had returned to the serious, blank and unreadable one that he wore most

"And secondly, in about ninety-nine percent of fiction where that scenario plays out, they resist with all their might, only to surrender to their passion for each other in the end.”
Admittedly this comment by Nick is probably the reason I and many other people began reading this story. There's definitely a guilty pleasure in those sorts of -as also mentioned- 'star-crossed lovers from different worlds, struggling to be together against all odds' stories.
It's certainly to your credit that I've been drawn into the story for many other reasons, but the fact that they straight up discuss that scenario is pretty unique. I'm curious how this acknowledgement of shared attraction will play out. Will this make the seemingly inevitable romantic connection more satisfying even if it's less spontaneous and lustful? Or perhaps not happen at all and really subvert expectations? Knowing you I don't think you'd do the latter to us, but I'm curious to see either way. I'm most curious about Nick's intentions and motivations overall, though. It can't just be because of Judy... or can it?
