Summary- As Beaverton's charismatic and ambitious mayor, Jerry has spent years expanding the city's borders, transforming forests into thriving neighborhoods, and turning opportunity into profit. To the public, he's a visionary. To his family, he's a devoted husband, a proud father, and a son determined to honor the sacrifices made for him. His motto is simple: "Happy wife, happy life." And everything he does-every deal, every development, every controversial decision-is for you, for Lucia, for the future he believes you deserve. But progress has consequences. When the Animal Council, led by the commanding and merciless Titus, threatens open retaliation against humanity for the destruction of their habitat, Jerry's carefully constructed world begins to crack. Forced into a dangerous arrangement under Mabel's watchful eye just to stay alive, he finds himself trapped between political survival and personal morality. You've always supported your husband. You've defended him at dinners, smiled through the headlines, and believed in his good intentions. But lately...something feels off. The secrecy. The late nights. The look of greed in his eyes when he thinks no one is looking. Lucia notices it too. And while Jerry insists that everything he's doing is what's best for them and Beaverton, you can't help but wonder if it really is. As tensions rise between humans and animals, and the line between hero and villain blurs, Jerry must confront a truth he's avoided for far too long: what if building a future for his family means destroying someone else's? This fanfic explores loyalty, ambition, and the quiet fractures within a family standing on the fault line of a looming war. Is Jerry Generazzo a heartless developer...or simply a man trying and failing to do right by the people he loves? *This fic will contain spoilers, so if you haven't watched the movie, Beware!*

[Mayor Jerry Generazzo x Fem. Reader] You've always felt more at home in nature than anywhere else. Forests, rivers, and open fields were never just places to you they were living systems, full of quiet stories and delicate balance. While others chased busy city lives, you chose something slower, something meaningful. You built your path around understanding and protecting the environment, eventually becoming a general biologist and ecologist. You prefer peace over noise. Solitude over crowds. But that doesn't mean you're soft. Despite your strong exterior, there's a quiet warmth in you. You care deeply about life, about balance, about doing what's right. It's just that you don't always show it openly. You like talking to yourself when you're stressed. It helps you think. And while you've built a life centered around calm and control... Somehow, chaos always finds its way to you.

After fleeing her old life with nothing but two duffel bags, a dying car, and too many things she refuses to talk about, Y/N ends up in Beaverton completely on impulse. The plan was simple: keep her head down, start over, and never let anyone get close enough to ask questions. That plan lasts about ten minutes. Because Mayor Jerry Generazzo keeps showing up. Everyone in Beaverton either loves him or hates him-and Y/N can't decide which side she's on. Especially when she starts realizing the man behind the perfect smile might be hiding just as much as she is. (Set during the events of the film)
