Why this must be read:

This is one of my favorite friendship pieces in Grimm fandom. It shows the strong bond between our gang of three, Nick, Monroe, and Rosalee. They support each other in times of trial and gather together in down time for popcorn and shooting the breeze. They give each other grief over dating, patch up twisted ankles, and give hugs of comfort over poisonous cats. The author has delved into what's made this threesome friendship so strong, and I loved every word. She breathes life into this extremely strong triad and makes me feel every interaction.

Her Monroe character voices (who the story is told by) is also fantastic. She's got every nuance of his mental patterns and the transition from solitary clockmaker to friend of Grimm and Fuchsbau down hard. She's also talented enough to characterize Rosalee and Nick very well through little hints we get from Monroe, like Rosalee's stubbornness and Nick's growing maturity as a Grimm and general protector.
