I really like this look at Nikki's backstory. It's interesting to think that maybe this is how Zuckerman found her, and why she's so desperate for the diamonds. Nice one! :)

Thanks! I was nervous about posting this one, because Nikki and Paulo aren't exactly the most loved characters. I blame the prompt and English not being my mother language (the moment I saw "tip" I immediately took the meaning of money).

This is a really interesting take on Nikki's backstory. I can see it fitting in really well with canon!

Thanks! I had never written them before, so I'm glad you think the story works with canon :)
