[@Fallenreaper] Not the scariest retelling in the world, but I don't suppose The Tortoise And The Hare gives you much to work with in that regard. Nice idea making Hare's loss due to nefarious interference. Honestly I wouldn't mind drudging that up as a case to be solved later. Give Hare some closure about the race and stuff. One last caveat before I accept you, though. Fables tend to hide themselves from Mundanes, as some of them share stories of Fables effectively falling victim to lynch mobs because of what the more villainous or monstrous Fables had been known to do to Mundanes and other victims. Otherwise, it's acceptable. Also note that Rolfe and Basil will have been hesitant to hire a Fable, and yes, they'll know exactly what he is well ahead of time. They make a point of knowing who all the Fables in Ravenport are and what they can do, Hare would be no exception to this. They'll hire him but also tell him on no uncertain terms that they'll be watching him closely and that he would be wise to keep his nose squeaky clean while working for them.

Not without making it up and derailing the original tale, I'm afraid. I wasn't sure how much creative freedom I had and how far I could go with it. At some point, I would've risked the creature feeling less like the original tale one. So I decided to go simple with a dark twist. And I assume there are mundane anthropomorphic animals around as well in the city? I asked this because hiding the fact he's a Fable will be difficult since he's too small to be human and rather furry. 

As for keeping squeaky clean, I'm pretty sure someone will frame him for something eventually or some unfortunate luck will happen.
