Always late to the party.

Angel, like all bunnies, is as evil as he is cute.  When the dastardly plot of the largest bunny organization in the region threatens Fluttershy, he's the best-qualified critter to take them down.


This story is the embodiment of multiple writing experiments, some of which were not originally intended.

A strange blend of hilarious, adorable, and hellish. Angel always makes for a great protagonists in stories of nature red in cloak and dagger. The avoidance of direct dialogue is pretty flimsy, but it doesn't detract from the overall excellent quality of the story. Thank you for it.

It may not have been useful as a writing exercise in the end, but it was probably the easiest way not to muddle up the story with the explanation of how all of their communication works.

Thanks for the praise. :twilightsmile:

This is actually amazing. Bunnies are evil. Is Whitetail Warren like Efrafa?

Brilliance. Sheer Brilliance.:pinkiegasp:

I enjoyed this. It was fun (in a dark way), it fit Angel’s character fairly well, and I’m always a sucker for an Anti-villain who puts his talents to a productive end.

I didn’t mind the lack of dialougue. I thought that just having descriptions about what was being said worked just fine for a story about small critters. It makes sense in the context of the story, so I can’t (and won’t) complain about it.

However, I do want to know the story of the four-way civil war that Angel kicked off. I mean, how does one man Bunny kick off a war between not two, not three, but four different factions of an entire species?

After that thing that hawthornbunny said, the core idea for this story was simply "Angel pisses off a bunny tetrumvirate".

I think having more factions just made it easier for Angel. Tensions already existed, else they wouldn't have been separate factions, and the factions were probably equivalent in size/power. With 6 different individual relationships, he's just gotta pluck enough of those strings to incite any one of them to try and take advantage of any other one of them; from there, any concerns about an upset in power (if one side wins that conflict, they become a danger to the other two faction) would probably escalate the war to its maximum scale fairly quickly.

I think Angel might have had some power in the original bunny organization, likely from as neutral a standing as was available at the time, and he used that to facilitate the inopportune leaking of secrets and probably the odd assassination or two. Nobunny who wasn't a part of that learned that Angel was behind these events until after the war had started. Those that were involved probably betrayed Angel for their own gains during the war, which is the biggest and final reason that he abandoned the warren and harbors exactly zero trust for other bunnies.

Some of those bunnies are probably the ones who ascended to form the unified tetrumvirate.

After that, as far as Fluttershy would have been concerned when she first met him, Angel looked like any other helpless critter who hadn't been having a very good day.

Looking at a relevant Wikia page… it vaguely is. I don't really know much about Efrafa/Watership Down, so nothing was directly based on that.

I was just kidding for the most part. Evil bunnies just makes me think of that though.
Read Watership Down.

Read Watership Down.

THIS IS MANDATORY

I must protest about this Redwall fanfic! There aren't nearly enough lavish descriptions of lush, sumptuous feasts.

Can't remember from where exactly I found this story (i had like 10 tabs open a bit ago, this had to have shown up in the "related stories" of one of them) but holy hell did I find a gem here. Know that I really liked this story and that I cannot find a way to say how without going into a rambling rant, it's that entertaining.

I will say that I don't mind at all that there is no actual dialogue, the explanations due to [animal chatter] were good enough, and how you turned Constance into an actual character was damn cool.

I appreciate the comment. :twilightsmile: As it happens, there have been several likes in the last week alone (after a long dry spell), but I see that it has also been featured in a group; although I don't know when that happened, maybe those two things are related.

While I wrote this, I thought I was writing something clever, or at least interesting. Now? I still think it is, but it wasn't terribly well-written for what it is. If you like how I handled the ideas at play – writing quality aside – I have written a couple of other things since then that I think are neat. I'm also going to dust off some documents and see about growing that list sometime soon, but that idea hasn't stopped me from procrastinating on writing before.
