Fandom: Grimm, Sherlock BBC
Genre: Crossover, Casefic
Pairing: Mary/John, Juliette/Nick, Monroe/Rosalee
Length: Medium (35,748 words)
Admin Note: rec'd on fancake
Author's Summary:
Detectives Nick Burkhardt and Hank Griffin investigate a series of incidents when Portland becomes host to a series of dangerous, unprovoked riots and an international serial killer. In London, Sherlock Holmes and John Watson have their own string of odd cases that eventually create a rift between Lestrade and Sherlock.
But when a double homicide attracts international attention, the consulting detectives collide with an American who seems to have incredible insight into not only the current case, but their recent oddities. Unfortunately, his odd secrecy makes him more enigmatic than helpful, and his presence seems to attract an undue level of violence.
National and investigative rivalries, hidden knowledge, and a dangerous political movement cloud the work of an American Grimm and the consulting detectives.
Review:
This is a really twisted casefic written for the Case Story Big Bang and it keeps you guessing, even if you do know both fandoms well. It's written in the converging plotlines format so the two fandoms start out fairly separate and slowly converge. I sometimes felt like it was a little disjointed or not quite fully thought through, but it's overall a good fic. The art for the fic, bymella68 , is also fantastic and captures the mood of the fic well.
