Summary
The colorful story of a cop and a hustler, reimagined in an archaic setting.
For in all times there has been prejudice, and there have always been pariahs surviving it.
In all times there has been injustice to fight against, criminals to fell and conspiracies to unearth.
In all times there were the brave and the cautious, the righteous and the cunning, the sympathetic and the cynics, the dreamers and the disillusioned ones; and at least once upon a time, there was a ranger and a chomper, and they shared an adventure.
This is their tale.

Summary (spoilers)
The Tale of the Ranger and the Chomper
Medieval-esque AU where Judy, the only bunny ranger, chases a criminal sheep to the great capital city of Zootopia, where predators live in segregated squalor. There she meets slick gypsy Nick, and after a harrowing introduction to the predators’ part of town, they ally to investigate his kidnapped crew and her fugitive ram.
A solid story with interesting characters set in a detailed world with rich lore. This rendition of Nick and Judy is particularly engaging. Hopefully you can look past the excessively lengthy and flowery prose – a moderately strict editor would probably condense or slash out a good half of the word count. Sadly abandoned in the middle of the characters’ investigation.

Judy Hopps, a ranger from Bunny Burrow, follows the trail of a ram crop theif to Zootopia. The hippo ranger chief stationed in the Rockwood district looks down on her & gives her permission to use 1 cadet, a lazy beaver, to help her comb the city. After splitting ways, Judy makes her way to "the zone"'s ranger hq and meets a helpful chief. As she leaves, she sees 2 gypsies being denied help by the rangers, but she decides to help them after a cadet is rude and they mention a sheep. After taking their statements, Judy agrees to meet Nick the next afternoon. When she arrives at the meeting place, she is forced to wait for hours before Nick appears and takes her to an alley. Nick and other predators surround her. Judy bests a tiger, but is caught by ben. She can't breathe in his hold & passes out. She wakes up being tossed around in the predator's garden (gypsy crowd). They plan to eat her, but Nick manages to get her back & calm her. After some explaining, they agree to partner up to find the sheep they're looking for. They follow a lead to a llama that points them toward the sheep of the church. Judy reports back to the hippo, who isn't happy about her hiring Nick. Nick introduces her to his crew. Nick has someone watch the cathedral. Judy stays at the Rapid Drinker in "the Zone" and talks w/ Nick about his past. She suspects that he's a northern spy, instead of a gypsy. She meets Gazelle, who explains her dislike for prey. Judy & Nick follow a lead on a squirrel to an elephant inn in the rich part of town. Nick uses his nose to find the squirrel's secret condo in the bar of the inn.
