I dunno about how much it's improving. I just got way into Grimm and discovered people shipped Nick with Monroe (who's in a stable, sweetheart relationship with Rosalee) for like 5 seasons rather than his detective partner, Hank, with whom he had awesome chemistry. Nick is white, Hank is African-American. Monroe is white. And needless to say, Hank is way cuter than Monroe, although I guess mileage may vary.

Now admittedly the show is heavily het in ship pairings, but I found exactly 5 Hank/Nick stories on AO3. There are 643 Nick/Monroe works and 400 Nick/Sean (his boss, another white guy!) works. Heck there are an equal number of Nick/Dean Winchester crossover stories as Nick/Hank stories. It's just depressing.

The show just ended this year.

When I was in Grimm I shipped NickMonroe because they had a LOT of chemistry to me, and also because for at least the first season (I gave up around mid second season), they also share Nick's big secret.

That said, I also super liked Rosalee and MonroeRosalee and I loved Hank (and Sergeant Wu) I just found Nick had different chemistry with Hank than he did with Monroe, and maybe that changed in the later seasons, but I never got that far.

The dynamic is different though. Nick and Hank are partners who have a long-established friendship when we meet them. On the other hand, we see Nick and Monroe meet in the pilot and watch their relationship develop over time. Prior to meeting Nick, Monroe is a hermit and Nick brings him out of his shell. That kind of thing is catnip to shippers.

That said, I don't ship either pairing. I find it impossible to ship Nick with anyone, and I love Monroe and Rosealie. Are there any Hank/Wu stories? I always thought those two characters had potential together.

As someone who was in the Grimm fandom since the early days, Nick and Hank didn't have some proper interaction in the first two seasons aside from the basic quips to show off their friendship. Nick and Monroe had plenty of Moments, and went from antagonists to close friendship, hence why they were so popular even though Monroe and Rosalee were super adorable in later seasons. The popularity of Nick and Monroe died down a lot in the later seasons when they stopped interacting. First season they were two guys against the world, third season onwards they were just two friends in a group of friends.

Definitely think there should have been more Nick/Hank though. And Nick/Wu. And Wu/Hank. (I shipped pretty much everyone on this show, except for the one that became freaking canon)

Nick went from one committed relationship to another. Monroe didn't seem like the kind of guy to get between a couple, and then he met Rosalie. Renard was morally grey and semi involved with Adelaide. Putting Wu and Hank together was a bit Pairing the Spares.

I never saw much shipping potential in Grimm.
