Chapter 1: The Mission

Chapter Text

Human tradition dictated a diamond ring - costing at least three months’ salary. Jack wasn’t certain what his salary was, but suspected he’d be expected to find something on par with the Hope Diamond.

But Jack hadn’t wooed Bunny the human way, and wasn’t about to propose the human way.

Pooka tradition said that one gave gifts to one’s beloved. It was traditional to give gifts related to deep passions and desires - seeds for the one who gardened in the quiet of the night, sheet music for the one who danced when no one was around, and the like.

But Jack had read that El-ahrairah had, when pursuing his mate, moved heaven and Earth to present her deepest desire.

Jack refused to be showed up by some silly bunny god.
