Now that rarepairexchange revealed the authors, I can finally share the treat I wrote for trobadora! (I was trying to pick up her pinch hit, but funnily enough, china_shop napped it like an hour or two before I was gonna xD)

Title: Back In A Spell
Fandom: Grimm (TV)
Ships: Sean Renard/Juliette Silverton, Nick Burkhardt/Juliette Silverton, pre-Nick Burkhardt/Sean Renard/Juliette Silverton
Words: 7k
Tags: Time Travel Fix-It, POV Juliette Silverton, former Hexenbiest Juliette, Nick is not a Grimm yet, Identity Reveal, Magic Revealed, Dinner Date with Ulterior Motives, Secrets
Summary:

Renard hummed noncommittally. "You're not Wesen," he switched tracks, letting the question of her knowledge hang between them. She'd dropped too many names and hints about his past not to be involved somehow.

"I'm not," she stated, even as the truth felt like ashes in her mouth. But I should be.

Going back in time has a price. Juliette will make damn sure it was worth it.

Thoughts on the Fic

I had such a good time writing this one! Juliette is my blorbo, and Renard is Trobadora's, so the first scene was practically me going "how can I smush these two together" :D Renard is such a deeply distrustful character, he would be hard to convince - and I honestly don't think he's quite convinced by the end of the scene, but willing to let it play out and see where it gets him. Juliette has made some good points and if he can get Nick on his side before he awakens his Grimm heritage, well. It'll be easier to build an alliance on that sturdy basis, and I feel like that's an advantage Renard wouldn't let pass him by. Writing the early seasons Nick who is all bushy-tailed and bright-eyed innocence was fun, too. Juliette was a bit of a guess work, based on what I've seen of her in the first two seasons and extrapolating on her characterisation there - the reason I went looking for the Hexenbiest!Juliette clips on youtube, since I know Dora likes Hexenbiest!Juliette best ;) I left the whole Eve plot vague because I have no idea what's happening there aside from Juliette's death and resurrection, so I figured if anything I say contradicts it, the future is just another canon AU :P

Also! The title. I wanted something that felt true to the show, which always involves puns and references to fairytales. "Back In A Spell" was too good to pass up, what with the implications of time travel and magic, but it also being a saying for "be right back"? Idk, it tickled me :D

Title: All Our Memories, They're Haunted
Fandom: Deja Vu - Dreamcatcher (Music Video)
Ships: Yoohyeon-centric, Jiu/Yoohyeon (background)
Words: 1.1k
Tags: Memories, Regret, Grief/Mourning, the Queen is dead; long live the Queen, Dark Yoohyeon, Murder
Summary: There are no witnesses to her ascent. There is no one she trusts not to stab her in the back.

This is the story I wrote when I discovered the fan theory that Yoohyeon kills all her friends and what we see in the MV are their ghosts! I don't usually write creepy horror stuff, but I love writing characters going insane or evil, so writing what amounts to Mad Queen Yoohyeon was *really* fun. Even if the fandom is super small and only my bff ends up reading it, it's a win in my book :)

So much loive for you two! ♥ ♥ ♥

Hee! Perfect!

Haha, yeah, that's a good point! I think if Renard had to wait until he was entirely convinced about anything, he'd never actually make any decisions at all. *g*

♥ ♥ ♥

Leaving things a bit vague didn't hurt it at all, and since (obviously) canon!Juliette didn't travel back in time and change things, something had to canon-diverge anyway! So things don't have to entirely align. ♥

(I can't wait to hear your thoughts about the Hexenbiest arc when we get there!)

It's a fabulous title! :D

So much love for you two! ♥ ♥ ♥

You deserve all of the treats <3

I think if Renard had to wait until he was entirely convinced about anything, he'd never actually make any decisions at all. *g*

Oh, for sure! He's such a distrustful man, if he were to wait for 100% certainty, he'd never get anything done. I think it shows whenever he takes a gamble or a risk, he does those surprisingly often - especially when it comes to trusting people (to a certain degree) because they are useful to him (Nick, Meisner - he gambles that they will behave according to their character)

Glad you agree and enjoyed the fic <3

Slowly creeping closer to that plotline! Season 4, right? I'm excited to get there and see why it happens :D

Yes, this is all spot on! He takes that kind of gamble so often, and it doesn't always pay off, but then he's good at rolling with the punches and shifts his own plans accordingly. He desperately needs someone he can actually trust, but I don't think he ever really allows himself to actually feel that need (because if he did, he wouldn't be able to keep going as he has).

Season 4, right?

Second half of the season, mostly, yes! I'm excited to get there (again) as well. *g*

Hee! *high fives you*

(I kept hovering over the pinch hit, but I didn't want to claim it until I had a complete draft. As soon as I'd sent my draft to Shadaras and they'd said it (mostly) worked, I pounced on the pinch hit. So funny that our timing coincided so closely! *g*)

[miss_ingno]

High five! <3

And that's a mood - I waited until I finished the first chapter (since it could've stood on it's own without the little transitional scene I tacked on). I remember checking before I sat down to finish the scene, and then I came back and the pinch hit was gone! *g*

Sorry! *g* (But in the end, it doesn't make any difference, does it? :-)

[miss_ingno]

Really doesn't <3 just makes for a fun anecdote!
