Why this must be read:

Author's Summary: Monroe meets Nick at the trailer, just to make sure he's really okay.

Episode 17 (which this fic is a coda for) has one of the highlight moments in the Monroe/Nick pairing for me; Monroe is pacing Adalind's bedroom so desperate to get out to support Nick. Rosalee is saying that Nick has to do this on his own. And then Monroe's face when Rosalee basically says it's Adalind or Nick who will come back alive but not both... Just the sheer horror at the thought of Nick dying. Yeah, made this slasher squirm in happiness.

So when dreamdustmama, a fantastic author from Merlin fandom, decided to introduce herself to Grimm fandom with this, I about leaped out of my chair in happiness. Monroe's desperation to get to Nick and verify he's really OK is conveyed so strongly with this author's wonderful writing. The heart-wrenching hug of relief and the intense make-out session are vividly portrayed and felt by the audience. This fic is a lovely introduction to what dreamdustmama can do with Grimm, and I desperately hope she decides to write more powerfully emotional stuff like this story.

Why this must be read: I am not exactly objective here, because this was written for me, but I love this so much I really can't help reccing it. This pairing hasn't exactly been written a lot, but it makes so much sense! We know canonically that Bob and Buck both loved Caroline, and they were very close as partners, too. And Sage writes them so well! This fic alternately makes me squee out loud and puts tears in my eyes. Also, it's epistolary fic, which I have a soft spot for. Go read it! You won't be sorry.

Why this must be read:

Because it's a personal favorite setting: tent!sex. The author does it justice. Sweet and hot and angsty, this story moves The Team into most pleasing placement, they jockey for position, and they both win first place.

Too Much

EAD: Whoops! My stint is the last one signed up for, so there's no September driver for the van. I hope someone grabs the keys and takes the van for a spin. It has off-road capability, spinner wheels and a cherry-red paint job.
