The Dresden Files/Fridge: Difference between revisions

* When Bianca is introduced, the revelation that Red Court vampires are loathsome bat-hybrid freaks sheathed by temporary human husks seems a little schlock B-movie-ish, or else like Butcher's deliberately employing the [[Our Vampires Are Different]] trope. Events in ''Changes'' reveal that having them work this way wasn't just an arbitrary excuse for [[Body Horror]]: {{spoiler|It means that Susan, in becoming a full vampire, shed and discarded her original human body. Therefore, Harry could sacrifice her emerged vampire-self and kill the Red Court ''without'' worrying that the heart-ripper spell would rebound on her ''human'' relatives, which include her parents and grandparents (if they're alive) as well as little Maggie.}}

* The battle at Archangel came into a whole new light when I discovered this [[wikipedia:Arkhangelsk Explosion of 2004|Wikipedia page]]. Right time frame too...

* Father Forthill managed to find the one place he could place Maggie and let Harry spend time with her safely. A ex-Knight of the Cross adopting an orphan isn't going to look strange. Harry Dresden visiting his apprentice's family won't look strange either. The guardian angels make an attack or spying run on the household pretty much impossible. Net result: Harry will get to spend some time with his daughter. And he'll have an excuse to total anyone who messes with her without revealing her parentage, because everyone knows by this point that messing with his friends makes him almost as mad as targeting his daughter.

* In Ghost Story, [[Word of God]] is that Inez was Mab's proxy, Inez wasn't talking about Harry steadily becoming a monster as a ghost, she was talking about Harry becoming a monster as the Winter Knight.

** Lea and Mab. {{spoiler|Harry proposes a similar relationship for himself and Mab in Ghost Story. So far she doesn't sound like she wants to go for it.}}
