A Lamb Among Wolves Ch:52
And so, the story finally comes to a close. Took me long enough eh? Over two years of work in between commissions and a blog but it's finally done. Phew...what a ride.
Before I get to reminiscing and talking about future plans, I'd like to thank the many folks who helped me along the way in terms of getting this done.

And I'd like to give a special thank you to my following backers who are also both Acoylotes for helping with editing and suggestions. They went above and beyond and I am grateful.

Finally, I'd like to thank you, readers, for your enthusiasm, support, and critique. You guys really helped keep me going, and caught a few things nobody else noticed and brought them to my attention so I could adjust for it as best as I could. Thank you so much. Without you guys, and my backers, I don't know if I could have finished this fic.
So, what now I guess? Well...after Rehab finished up I proposed an outline of the stories I had left to tell in Zoot, or rather BellHunter stories, and i still plan to largely go by that outline. That means that after a few months off, writing little shorts and doing a recut of 'The Rehabilitation of Dawn Bellwether' in an ebook format for everyone to enjoy, (Free of course) I plan to do the long-awaited story about the ever-enigmatic Valerie Vulpes. I also have a 'How Finnick ended up with Gazelle' story, and finally the third and final installment of Dawn and Vern's story.
Granted the writing time on these will probably put me well beyond the Zoot sequel range, but it largely won't change anything for me. My AU is established, and I'm going to be working from that unless Z2 can fit neatly in between the timeline without affecting major story events. That said, It may seem silly, but i am going to be lobbing a tweet or two Rich Moore's way about the possibility of Dawn getting some sort of mini-redemption in Z2 if they intend to bring her back under a #SaveBellwether tag. It might be worth it to show him just how many fans of Dawn are out there and want to see her make a turn around, or at the very least make sure she doesn't come back as an uninspired revenge villain plot. I'd really hate to see that, so I figured it's worth promoting.
As for short stories, I'll always have something to throw in the BellHunter AU, and will most likely start posting under a compendium of drabbles under the same name on here and other sites. That may include stories like Dawn and Vernon's double date with Nick and Judy, and will definitely include Dawn meeting Lionheart again, and other individual Hunters stories. So you can look forward to that.
It's worth mentioning that I still run the 'AskDawnandVern' blog, and am in the process of creating a backup on So-furry. That said, if you want to keep abreast of story updates, and other stuff, you can follow the blog. You may also want to consider becoming a Patreon. Every little bit helps, and you get to look at art and raw story cuts ahead of time, as well as become part of an exclusive chat room.

Last thing I want to mention, there are two stories out there I've granted permission to use my Dawn and Vernon, both are fairly cool and I'd recommend checking them out.
The first is titled 'Heroes of Zootopia' by Dragonman1997, a cool Zootopia meets Avengers sort of hero story, where Vernon plays the roll of a hero called 'the moth' while Dawn is essentially a night howler infected version of the hulk called 'Knockout'. It has a colorful cast of interesting characters, and a curious and intriguing plot involving some sort of time shenanigans. I won't say anymore than that, as not to spoil it.

The second is titled 'Found' by Elite Shade, which is a more grounded story about Dawn and Vernon adopting. The catch is while adopting a lamb and wolf, there's a third child of mysterious origins the other two refuse to leave without. And so Dawn and Vern adopt all three. There is of course an intrigue plot about Lily's origin, and members of the Hunter family trying to get to the root of it all. Elite has really been nailing the characterizations and writes well. And if you're a person, like me, who isn't generally a fan of 'humans in Zoot' stories, it's done very well, so I advise you to give it a chance. That said, I still intend to do my own adopted kits story unrelated to this, so consider it an AU of an AU.

And well, I suppose that wraps everything up...Thanks for everything guys. I hope you enjoyed the ride as much as I have, and I hope that you'll keep an eye out for my future works.

If Bluth's films are emotional roller-coasters, your stories are effing Six-Flags attractions.
Another awesome read from a great writer/artist!
I loved seeing how far Dawn's come, I loved seeing everything finally take a turn for the better after all that's happened, I loved the distinct depth and personalities you gave to the Hunter family, (I even kinda grew on Dori and Yuri as their stories unfolded), and this epilogue has me big-time hyped for the "Bellwether's Kids" story, as well as the ones with Val and Gazinnick.
You know, I might have to put off on that analysis/review for quite a while so I could talk about your whole Bellwether trilogy. I don't think just focusing on one at a time could do any justice.
Ten words or less: "Eat you heart out, Disney*"
* That includes you, Pixar
No Words Or Less:

Thank you so much. I really appreciate all the kind comments and it means so much to me that you would talk up my story so much. I'm glad that I was able to achieve a 'sort of like' for Dori and even Yuri. It was my goal when creating them, especially in Yuri's case, that by the end of the tale you felt much better about Dorian, and at least understood Yuri, so that's a high compliment.
And I look forward to your full analysis, although it will be a while until "The Bellwether Legacy" Rolls along.
