Fear and Loathing by Dorksidefiker (Teen)
Now that I've gotten the crack van back out of the shop (that is, I'm back from my weekend trip, despite United's every attempt to prevent me from getting home), it's time to take it out for a spin again. And now for something completely different...
Subject: Fear and Loathing by Dorksidefiker (Teen)
Fandom: Rise of the Guardians
Pairing: Bunny/Mother Nature
Length: 16,558 words (18 chapters)
Author Website: AO3
Why this must be read:
The most notable thing about this work is the unusual pairing of Bunnymund and Seraphina/Mother Nature. It would be unusual enough if it were just a slice of Seraphina's POV, as few works include her and fewer give significant insight into her mind, but the fact that she and Bunny here have some uncertain level of romantic relationship makes this work stand out even more. The fact that it also delves into the relationship between Seraphina and her (former?) father Pitch Black is only icing on the cake. Also unusual is the fact that Jack's been relegated to a supporting character.
And because Dorksidefiker's words are so nice, and it's hard for me to describe what I like about this work what with my brain fried from being stuck in an airport on standby for more time than I actually spent traveling back home today, here's a couple spoileriffic quotes. (Yeah, I'm totally eloquent today, didja notice?)
SPOILERS!
Chapter 1:
"The last time Seraphina had gone up against Pitch with any real force, people had died horribly, caught in the crossfire between two unstoppable forces. She hadn't much cared. She was Mother Nature, and her thoughts were always on the bigger picture, where a few thousand human lives meant very little. Bunnymund first duty was to the children, and something would have to be done before they had another Pompeii on their hands."
Chapter 7:
"Silence stretched out between them, thin and twanging with tension. It occurred to Bunnymund that much of their relationship, whatever it might be, was silence of one sort or another. Comfortable silences, companionable silences, the silence of two beings desperate for company who and who couldn't bring themselves to say so, exhausted silences, even angry silences."

Author Summary:
There are few things in the universe who hate Pitch Black more than Mother Nature. Unfortunately, when she lets that anger out things tend to explode, so it's in the Guardians' best interest to run interference.
