Popular Fanfiction Stories
On fanfiction.net, there is a very well written, powerful, and heartwarming story called "The Water Pup".
It's about 15 or 16 chapters and it's about Ryder and the pups (excluding Rubble who was not found yet) discovering a stray and very traumatized pup in a forest named Zuma who saved Marshall from drowning in a raging river.
We learn all about Zuma's past and the majority of Zuma's story was shared to Rocky who encouraged Ryder to take Zuma home with him.
Rocky and Zuma share very dark and sad stories to each other about their lives before Ryder came and and they developed a strong bond afterwards and developed some feelings for each other that they were trying to hide until eventually they couldn't anymore.
We also learn that Rocky discovers a piece of himself in the most unexpected of places and also discovers the same thing about Zuma. The story will make you cry and if it were to ever air on TV, it would probably fill up to about an hour and 30 minutes.
Also if you watch Rocky and Zuma in season 1, it's like the event actually happened before the series started.
This story will also bring up the spirits of Rocky and Zuma fans feeling down after the past few seasons of them not interacting with each other.
