The Bolt Chronicles

The Bolt Chronicles is a series of Bolt fan fiction stories written by Bolt_DMC. It consists of a collection of short-story length one-shot fics and poetry in a variety of styles which interlock chronologically and can be read separately or as one long multi-chapter entity. The series is ongoing, with new entries inserted into the timeline as appropriate. They were first posted beginning in August 2019, but many had been written prior to that time, beginning in February 2018. Thirty-one fics and two poems have been produced as of July 2021, and can be read on Archive of Our Own.

While backstories exist for Bolt and Mittens, and a few fics occur during the period covered by the movie or before, the majority take place post-canon. By the end of the film, Penny and Bolt have left the TV show they starred in and now reside in an undisclosed rural location along with Mittens, Rhino, and Penny’s mother; the post-canon entries trace their adventures in this venue. Starting with “The Ship,” Bolt and Mittens become lovers (and soulmates).
