Category: Grimm
Ship: Nick/Eddie (Pre-slash), Nick/Juliette (UST)
Genre: Angst, Drama, Mystery, Noir, Romance
Disclaimer: This is all just a bit of fun.
Warnings: Unbeta'd.
Notes: Written for a brilliant prompt over at grimm_kink, which I used for the summary (thanks, anon!). I tried, initially, to find a "clever" title for this but drew a blank so...I hope you enjoy it!

Summary: Nick Burkhardt, Private Detective, is hired by the beautiful Juliette to find out what happened to an old lady she knew, Aunt Marie. But as he finds himself plunged into the case, he finds there's more to this Marie than first appeared. Along the way he meets a colorful cast of characters, including the wisecracking clockmaker Eddie Monroe, the copper Hank, and his Captain, Renard.

Is Juliette as innocent as she seems? Is Captain Renard just another crooked cop who can be bought with the right amount-or is there something more sinister about his motives? And what secrets is the clockmaker Eddie Monroe hiding? Most importantly, how is this all connected to Nick Burkhardt?

In this exciting adventure of the supernatural and shamuses, Nick will find his most interesting case yet: his past!

Untitled
There are still tears in her eyes when she finally leaves, the fabric of her sweater stretched and pulled; lumpy from all the times she’d curled her fingers into it. Nick doesn’t pretend he doesn’t see them -- he owes her that much, at least -- but doesn’t try to stop their flow like he might have, once. It isn’t his place, not anymore, and he won’t confuse her by trying, even if his nails are cutting crescent shaped indentations into his palms to keep himself from reaching out to her.

He hates to see her cry. Has always hated it. But he’s keeping her safe, and that’s worth more than a few shed tears and a broken heart. Even if it doesn’t feel like it. Even if it never will.
