Name that Fanfiction

Alright I'm going to bite the bullet and ask on here; I've been looking for a specific fanfiction I read a year or two ago. No recollection of the title. Probably on Archive of Our Own, but not positive.

Here's what I remember:

Set post movie, Nick and Judy both officers. They either were or were starting to grow more romantically entangled. Apparently there were a lot of simultaneous savage incidents that exploded in the city one day, (something to do with drugged food supply?) and Nick and Judy were the only officers on scene to deal with a megafauna (rhino? hippo? polar bear?). Judy immediately radios in to Clawhauser (something to this effect):

J: "Hopps here. There is a savage rhino outside Little Rodentia -- we need back-up IMMEDIATELY."

C: "No backup available. There are savage attacks citywide."

J: "I repeat, RHINO. Outside LITTLE RODENTIA."

C: "...Okay. Will prioritize your location."

The bunny-cox pair are able to subdue the threat, and all but collapse together on the curb in exhaustion, Judy leaning on Nick's shoulder. Nick sees a crowd gathering and starts to tell her they should distance themselves. Tired, Judy snaps, "I don't. Care."

A picture of them at that moment ends up as front-page news.

Sound familiar to anyone? I swear I've gone through the archive so many times and can't seem to find this thing.

Edit: We have a winner! Partners by SkyeLansing. Thanks to NPWLong.

This sounds so much like Always my sly bunny, always my dumb fox by Cimar, but I can't pinpoint the chapter this scene is in.

I'll check that one, thanks!

Edit: I searched "Little Rodentia" through the entire work and I feel like this might not be it, but when I read through it I can say for sure.

Afraid that doesn't ring any bells with me buddy although I'd love to know so I can give it a read too! Have you considered checking the fanfic section of the wiki on this Reddit? Not the most elegant solution I know but you might get lucky and recognise a name there!

Hope you find it anyway bud!
