Written in a slow-paced, very detailed "slice of life" style, focusing on the developing friendship of Nick and Judy. Not a hint of shipping so far, despite a lot of very detailed focus on the characters' feelings and focus on Character Development; this is definitely one of the most well-written and detailed platonic interpretations of their relationship, basically a must-read for anyone interested in Platonic Life Partners portrayals of Nick and Judy.
Also of note is its also-very-detailed portrayal of Judy's family, which gives an intriguing and believable interpretation of how such a massive family could actually work. While the visit to Bunnyburrow might be considered a Plot Tumor due to being a lengthy detour from the main plot of how Nick ended up on the police force, it's not really detrimental since the fic's Slice of Life style means it's more about the journey than the destination, and it can get away with taking its time to get where it's going.
