Why this must be read:

Author's Summary: Agent Phil Coulson really does have a cellist in Portland, but it's not exactly what anyone thinks.

A fantastically written crossover, this fic does what many crossovers never manage to do. It balances both worlds evenly with none getting short changed in character exploration or world building. She has built an intriguing backstory from a simple line in the Avenger's movie, and it blossomed into this epic study of secret superhero government agency meeting Wesen creatures and Grimms and just working.

I loved how the worlds were intertwined. With small, subtle details like going into how S.H.I.E.L.D. helped Monroe control his Blutbad tendencies and how he met Phil, both fandoms just seemed like one big world. And that's a sign of a well written fandom. With believable characterizations and a fast-paced adventure with additional show down at the end, this fic will keep you occupied for hours. Your eyes will be dragged through all 30,000 + words and never want to stop.

Aw, thanks so much for the rec! I never intended it to turn into something so long, but the two worlds really did seem to fit well together, and I like all the characters so much ... it's one of those things where I had so much fun writing it, and it's great to see so many people enjoying it too! Thanks again.
