Why this must be read:

Author's Summary: It might not be the way Grimms traditionally did things – but Marie would do what she had to do to ensure her nephew had a chance to survive.

Marie Kessler is one of the more intriguing characters in Grimm. She only physically appears in two episodes but her presence is felt strongly throughout the series in her reputation in the Wesen world and the hints into her past we receive in subsequent episodes. Jedi has given us even more background possibilities that show us a woman who is nearing the end of her life. She's doing all that she can to protect her nephew she raised from childhood as her Grimm abilities passes to him on her death.

I loved how Jedi delved into Maries head, gave some insight into her steely will, her checkered past which prompted her bloody reputation among creatures, the motivations for that checkered past, and the deep love she has for Nick. She'll even make unheard-of deals and swear oaths of loyalty to dark figures for this love. And even though the show has made a few details AU now, the fic still rings so very true in how it could have gone down in canon. It ties so many loose ends of the show together in one neat little package. It is my head canon, that's for sure.
