So y'know how the last few Dresden books have started with a text form kaboom, along the lines of
'I answered the door. Morgan fell through.' and
'Harry, they have our daughter.'

Try and create your own... wild speculation encouraged....


----

Lash, the presumed 'dead' shadow-echo of a Denarian who wants my sould and/or me to bring about an apocalypse or three, flooded into my brain.
Harry, Lasciel requires your assistance.

---

I opened the door. Sanya was standing there. Murphy stood behind him looking all grim pixie-cop.
"Pick up the sword, Harry. You just became a Knight of God."

---

"Pizza Lord, the Wildfae have become vegetarians."

---

"Hi Harry."
"Hi Fix. What's up?"
"I'm here to challenge you to a duel to the death."
"Oh. Crap. How about a beer instead?"

---

I opened the door and two Red Court vampires charged in. That's not supposed to happen any more.

---

Mac's was missing. The whole place.

---

I have it on good authority that there is only one dragon left in the world. Naturally he was standing outside my window smoking. Without a cigarette.

"Harry, you're pregnant. With twin vampires!"
Hello, soldiers, look at your mage, now back to me, now back at your mage, now back to me. Sadly, he isn’t me, but if he stopped being an unascended mortal and switched to Sole Spice, he could smell like he’s me. Look down, back up, where are you? You’re in a warren with the High Mage your cadre mage could smell like. What’s in your hand, back at me. I have it, it’s an acorn with two gates to that realm you love. Look again, the acorn is now otataral. Anything is possible when your mage smells like Sole Spice and not a Bole brother. I’m on a quorl.

Almost all of the ones with speech were followed up with the eastenders theme tune in my head.

HiddenOne. You son of a bitch. You slimy, skulking, low-posting scumbag. You knew it would come to this. Roundabout, maybe. Tortuous, certainly. But here we are, you and me again. I started the train on you so many many hours ago, and now I'm going to finish it. Die HO. Die. This is for last time, and this is for this game too. This is for all the people who died to your backstabbing, treacherous, "I sure don't know what's going on around here" filthy lying, deceitful ways. You son of a bitch. Whatever happens, this is justice. For me, this is justice. Vote HiddenOne Finally, I am at peace.

You know. Being dead and all. Now would be an interesting place to introduce the ghost of the Evil Wizard that brought up Dresden, what's his face, can't remember his name.

I walked into my bedroom and there was Ivy, 18 now and wearing nothing, waiting for me on my bed, but I couldn't help wondering why the Hellhound had a video camera.

As I walked out of McAnallys, I noticed that the moon was about to crash into chicago.

As I walked out of the morgue, incorporeal, I saw a 1960's bright blue police phone box. A man stepped out and said "Harry, have you ever met a madman with a box?"

I drifted through the door to my apartment. Incorporeality has some uses I guess.

As I entered, Mister looked up, and said "Christ Harry, how'd you manage to get yourself killed?"
meh. Link was dead :(

It's not every day that vampires, mercenaries and a renegade warlock all try to kill me before breakfast... oh wait, yes it is.

"Uh, no one in my bed should be able to do things like that with their body, Ancient Mai."

Normally, when I set foot on Demonreach I just become aware of everything on the island. What I didn't expect was the little beardy guy in the red robe stepping out from behind the rock.

I thought this day had taken a turn for the worse when Odin showed up asking for sanctuary. Then I looked out the window and saw the queue behind him.

I looked in the mirror -- why in all the hells did I look like Murph? Oh boy....

Some great (champoon) and truly wrong (jits') ones upthread... :D



When my cat Mister wants food, he usually meows. Him pointing a glock at my face was an entirely new trick.


Kincaid always said he would take me out with a sniper rifle, so i took some encouragement from the fact that he was holding a knife to my throat.


Of course i missed the Beetle, but i could live without its ghost going all Stephen King's 'Christine' on me...


Zombie pigeons... for fuck's sake...

"Hey, Alphas -- you know how I once said Butters's geek penis was larger than all of ours put together? Well, we might have a problem..."

Flying isn't really a good life choice for wizards, as a rule. So what was I doing sitting behind a Valkyrie on a flying horse following a Cesna into the Bermuda Triangle? Besides trying to see past her horn, that is.

"Trying to contact Cthulhu? Lame, lame, lame, dude! Besides, look at this pentagram, you haven't even got the...containment...lines...argghh!"

After days of thinking about it, weighing the pros and cons, I had come to what I now believe to be the most important realisation I have ever made.
Being dead sucks. Really, really sucks.
Notwithstanding the new-found ability to enter girls' locker rooms at will, there are some serious drawbacks. Chief among them, as I had recently discovered, is when all the local necromancers suddenly figure out they have a new toy.

Never underestimate the 'shock and awe' effect of a swarm of boxcutter armed Little Folk descending from the sky screaming
'SLICE THEM LIKE PEPPERONI, FOR THE PIZZA LORD!!!' at the top of their tiny lungs.

The last time I rode Sue the undead dinosaur into batttle, it was against horrible odds. Zombies. Ghosts. Ghouls. Powerful necromancers. Really just a bad time all around.

This time it was worse.

So I brought along some of Sue's friends. Ok, LOTS of Sue's friends.

It took me three years to turn Lash, a mind-shadow of Lasciel, an immortal denariian Fallen Angel, to the Light Side.

Now I had less than a week to do the same thing to Lasciel herself.

Lara Raith fell through my door. She was so torn up that if the wards did any more damage, you couldn't tell.

"Dresden," she gasped, "Thomas has killed our father and taken over the White Court. You're going to help me kill him."
