One of these days I'm going to finish a fanfic where Nick and Juliette managed to stay together after she revealed her transformation to him. I'm a little fascinated by the idea of how a Grimm and a Hexenbiest would make an intimate relationship work, and here's one way they could do it:
There would be very little verbal communication other than the basic "Hi's" and "Bye's." Words are cheap, and can be easily twisted into something hateful, especially by a Hexenbiest. Nick would give Juliette plenty of room, physically and emotionally, never treading on her toes unless it was absolutely necessary. Their romance would be more determined by actions; a special dinner Juliette cooks for Nick one night, or a very personal piece of jewelry Nick buys and leaves in the bathroom for Juliette to find. This version of Nick accepted his responsibility in Juliette's metamorphosis a long time ago, and feels that he owes her everything as a result.
Juliette's Hexenbiest impulses are allowed to be (mostly) indulged. She can often be abrasive and cruel, but never sinks to the depths we saw on the show, thanks in part to how extraordinarily well Nick accepted her new nature. When Juliette starts a live leech farm in the house's backyard, Nick supports her, even when she begins applying leeches on her face every morning to improve her beauty. As a reward for his compliance, Juliette gives Nick a night of the wildest lovemaking imaginable. The bond between the two lovers is sacred and private. Nick has even succeeded at finding a strange, macabre beauty in Juliette's woged form, even though he keeps these emotions strictly between himself and Juliette.
Sadly, maintaining a relationship with such an innately dark-natured being came with a steep price. Both Monroe and Rosalee broke away from Nick, unable to deal with the new Juliette's arrogant vanity, and Hank moved to a new precinct many months ago, alienated by Nick's decision to remain loyal to Juliette. Bud and Wu are the only real friends the pair have left, while Renard has begun to pursue a political career. But Portland is safer than it's ever been, safeguarded by a love unprecedented in Wesen history.
