Author Website: Masterlist on LJ (Part 1 of 2)
Warnings: spoilers for episode 12
Why this must be read:
Author's Summary: In the aftermath of the Lowen Games, Nick makes sure Monroe's okay.
Another lovely h/c coda to a Grimm episode, I love what csi_sanders1129 did with the whole Nick being Monroe's pack idea and how comfortable Monroe feels with leaving his vulnerable back in Nick's care. It shows the level of trust and camaraderie that has developed between these two men over the months and their common experiences. They know they have each other's backs (in this case very literally for Nick) and will defend, or comfort as the case may call for, each other.
This is also a very sad reminder of how far apart Nick's worlds are moving from each other, the cop/normal side and the Grimm/Wesen side. Nick is faced with the choice of Monroe vs Juliette, comforting a brother in arms (or something more) or trying to patch up a faltering relationship with a lover. In subsequent episodes, the rift between the worlds has never been resolved. One can only hope that some resolution will occur, either in further episodes or fanfiction. This one touches on its heart, blutbad vs lover, and raises a very interesting question. Which direction will Nick's life ultimately lead?
