Summary
In an alternate take on early canon, Nick Burkhardt and Adalind Schade fall into something real far too soon.
What begins with the wrong motivation—Adalind’s use of magic to bend fate—becomes something genuine, and she knows even then that it will cost her everything. When the truth comes out, Nick is left questioning not just her, but himself: whether his feelings were ever truly his own.
By the time he learns they were, Adalind has already disappeared, choosing exile over forgiveness.
Now Nick searches for her through half-truths and empty leads, always one step behind, grasping at what he didn’t realize he’d lost until it was gone.
This is a story about love found early, broken quietly, and the price of a single moment that came too late.

Summary
I've always loved the dynamic between Nick and Adalind, but their arc in Grimm felt rushed and unfinished. This story picks up in Season 5 and fills in the emotional and narrative gaps—adding context, expanding missed opportunities, and deepening their relationship in a way the show hinted at but never fully explored. It’s a grounded, character-driven continuation that honors canon while fleshing out everything that could have been.

Summary
"This isn't a Madonna movie and you're not gay- it's not going to work!" she cried.
"Just so we're clear it didn't work in The Next Best Thing," Nick said. " So our chances are looking favourable."
Because sometimes it takes a lot of failed attempts and kissing all the wrong frogs to realise what you wanted was right there in front of you all along.

Summary
Nick grunted as he tried to hold onto the staff, trying to pull it back away from the dark abyss in midair. He had enough of portals and secret worlds and death and destruction. He just wanted Adalind back. He wanted his kids and his friends. He wanted the life they were creating together after all the pain and heartache and suffering they had endured the last few years.
