Thank you, this is super, super shiny and I adore how you managed to sneak the cellist in there.

... Hold on. Doesn't Monroe play some kind of string? DOES HE????

:) I'm so glad you liked it! I wasn't sure how well I did with Natasha. I seem to end up writing her a lot, but her character's a little slippery.

Heh, yeah: Monroe is totally a cellist. I thought about name-dropping him, but I think they're actually going to feature the cellist in tonight's episode of SHIELD, so I ultimately decided to leave it ambiguous.

Very nice. Didn't Amy Acker, who is playing the cellist tonight, also play the Spinnetod in Tarantella? But she's supposed to be rapidly aging in jail now...

jedibuttercup April 23 2014, 17:31:27 UTC

The Spinnetod also wasn't single; so they'd have to be separate lookalike characters. But the other reason I left "the cellist" unnamed is so that if you don't follow the SHIELD tv show, there's another option. :)

Glad you liked the story!

Very nice. Interesting way to meld the universes.

jedibuttercup April 23 2014, 17:32:02 UTC

Thanks! It was fun to write. Because yeah, these characters wouldn't trust each other on first meeting ....

So fun. I'm missing Grimm so this was a nice little snack to tide me over.

Glad you enjoyed the story. :) My brother's also a fan, and it's local to us, so we've kept up, and I've been on pins and needles as the back half of the Season 3 rolls out. I never know where this show is going next, but it's always interesting, and its mythology just keeps growing like kudzu.

Shhh, I haven't actually seen yesterday's episode yet, because our local channel bounced it for the Blazers playoff game. Hoping it airs tonight instead! :)

I think that though he is losing some of his shiny, he's holding onto more of it than his aunt or mother ever did; it'll be interesting to see where they'll go with his role in the future, what with the Captain and the other Royals both apparently having their own separate plans for him that haven't been elaborated on yet.

We got tape-delayed on this Friday's, too, and probably will as long as the Blazers stay in the playoffs. *sigh*

But seriously, I keep digging my fingernails into the couch cushions and then flailing. (In a much more fascinated way than the current train wreck on Once Upon a Time). I really, really want to know what Adalind's going to do, but this new baby Grimm who looks alarmingly similar to Nick keeps distracting me from that plotline with all kinds of speculation. And please, I'm over the Nick/Juliette will-they-won't they already .... *sigh*
