Summary
Nick Wilde moves in with Judy Hopps and immediately discovers a problem: they are doing everything married couples do, except for the part where they’ve never been on a date.
Somewhere between shared evenings on the couch, accidental “I love yous,” and learning how to ask for what they need without falling apart, Nick starts testing how much happiness he’s allowed to want—and how much steadiness Judy is already offering him without realizing it.
Everyone else already knows what this is. Nick is just trying to survive it.
A (maddening, mentally insane) story about domestic intimacy, boundary negotiations, paralyzing anxiety, and two idiots who haven’t noticed they’re already home.

Bookmarker's Notes
A delightful exploration of the nature of Nick and Judy's relationship in the wake of The Lynxley Plot. All from Nick's POV, which is written with believable self-doubt and self-loathing. A few cautions about racy material, but... really not all that racy?

Summary
For Gideon Grey, life has taught him that keeping his head down and a rein on his emotions is the easiest way to survive. Now a baker’s apprentice, all he wants is to move past his bullying kithood and maybe win this year’s best pie at the Carrot Days Festival. But when his teenage crush, Sharla Leblanc, asks for his help hiding from assassins, he finds that trouble often finds you despite your best efforts, and the emotions you work to hold down have a way of creeping up.
A tale of wild chases, secrets, and espionage…with a side of personal redemption.
Now finished!

Bookmarker's Notes
Lass' spy-intrigue/slow burn romance. Lots of nods to classic spy novels and films as well as other things (like the retired assassins corresponding to the Nine Old Men). This put Gideon/Sharla on the map for me.

Summary
"Situationships have GOT to be one of the worst things that can happen to someone. Like, what do you mean you're friends but you're in love too but you're not together but you can't live without each other??"
or: nick and judy get stuck in his apartment during a chilly weekend-long city-mandated quarantine, and the power goes out, the heater turns off, and their phones die.

Bookmarker's Notes
A citywide blackout during a weather emergency traps Nick and Judy together in his apartment, which is quickly getting colder. Snuggling under the blankets is just common sense. Playing truth or dare is... a bit more unconventional. Finally admitting that you're crazy for each other... leads to some smut.

Summary
“So I dreamt about my ex tonight.”
She twitched, and he knew he had her undivided attention, even though she kept her eyes trained firmly on the nothingness in front of them.
“Didn’t know you had one.”
or: nick and judy sit on a park bench at one in the morning and carefully tread the waters of discussion over past lovers, office rumors, and the future of their friendship. / nick's pov.

Bookmarker's Notes
Sweet and awkward and believable. Nick and Judy fumble their way towards expressing whatever it is between them; it doesn't need to have a label.
