Thanks, I enjoyed writing it!

Eeeee, so good. Even only knowing the premises of each one. I think what I loved most was the hyper-detailed explanation the Grimm people had going. I actually believed it could have been the case. It was an airtight explanation given that fandom's canon, and that is my FAVORITE thing about crossing over different sci-fi/fantasy fandoms: how each one's weirdness would try to explain the other one's weirdness. And LOL, Pinocchio. It's sort of a problem, because I loved that whole part the most, but at the same time, I was picturing Pinocchio from OUaT. Inappropriate! The cameraderie between the people on the Grimm team was so darling. I really want to watch this show now. :)

YES! WATCH IT! Nick and Monroe are the best together! Somehow they always end up having the most hilarious uncomfortable conversations about penis/testicles. I'm such a 12 year old because it cracks me up every single time. Plus Monroe is kind of the opposite to Miles from Lost but also kind of the same person? Like Miles had no idea wtf was going on with the island whereas Monroe is the font of Grimm knowledge but they both just roll with all the weirdness that comes their way. LOVE IT!

Thanks! :D

I always love it when two different canons explain each other's weirdness in their own terminology, and the other doesn't bother to correct them. Especially loved the Grimm characterizations, but it was nice to see the T:SCC crew again!

[perdiccas]

I love crossovers like that too! I thought it especially fit the Terminator folks because they just want to get rid of Skynet and they're not to going to stop and correct people with weird ideas as long as they're being helpful.

Thanks for reading & commenting! :)

I only know the Terminator movies (and sketchily at that), but I really enjoyed this! You got all the Grimm characters just right (I can actually hear Monroe giving that explanation of Pinocchio on the show)! The Golems/robots with the computer chips being the words in their heads was brilliant too!

[perdiccas]

Thank you so much! It was my first time writing Grimm, so I'm so pleased you think I got them right. Monroe explaining all the weirdness Nick comes across is one of my fave things about the show so I had real fun writing that scene! :D
