Why this must be read:

Author's Summary: In a city full of bridges, it stood to reason there would be trolls. Nick enlists Monroe's help on a case.

My absolute favorite part about this fic is how the Wesen community has gotten so used to Nick as "their" Grimm that they start asking him for help rather than running away in fear. Not only in finding lost siblings but in trying to get out from under a bad landlord, mediating tattoo design copyright disputes, and being asked for an opinion on theoretical Wesen eating habits. Such a change from where Nick starts out as the boogeyman of Portland.

Tiriel describes her setting of downtown Portland wonderfully as well. Using real landmarks and character voices from the area, the reader literally feels like they're walking the streets of the real city. It even inspired me to try and include Powell's in a road trip I took through the area this summer. In addition to all this, we also get fantastic character voices and lovely humor.

So, it's Sunday, who feels like reading a new classic?

Fandom: SUITS
Pairing: Harvey Specter/Mike Ross

Why this must be read:

This is another one of the first Suits fics I read. Truth be told, I was shocked when I checked previous rides, and realized no one had recced this on here! It's a beautiful tale about what could have happened if Mike were fired from Pearson Hardman at the end of Dogfight: leaving, cutting ties, and trying to move forward in life.

Not only that... There's a sequel, and it's every bit as good as the original.
