The Dresden Files/Ghost Story: Difference between revisions

{{work}}

 

When we last left the mighty wizard detective Harry Dresden, he wasn't doing well. In fact, he had been murdered by an unknown assassin.

* [[The Internet Is for Porn]]: In ''Ghost Story'', Bob now has access to the internet. He declares, almost giddy, "It's like ninety-percent porn!"

* [[Ironic Echo]]: One notable example, showing just how ''bad'' things have gotten. When we first see Harry trying to teach Molly about shielding spells, it's with her younger brothers and sisters throwing snowballs at her. Her shield fails, she's pelted with snow, and it's a hilarious and heartwarming moment. Cut to ''Ghost Story'', and she's again practicing shields. Only this time, it's {{spoiler|[[The Fair Folk|Leanansidhe]] throwing ''hunks of ice'' like a major league pitcher, and Molly's as far from her warm, safe, loving home as you get.}}

* [[Kill It with Fire]]: In ''Ghost Story'', Harry points out that the reason he uses fire is because it is universally useful. Even intangibles like ghosts recoil from fire as they have a hard time separating their memory of fire and flame from their current existence. Harry also points out that even though something might be invulnerable to death from burning, they almost always still feel pain from it and can be stalled with it.

{{quote|'''Harry''': "Fire '''burns'''."}}

* [[You Can See Me?]]: It comes as a surprise to {{spoiler|Dresden}} that Butters and Lea can see him. He's also surprised when he comes across someone else who can hear him.
