Deleted first draft of Worm:
"Quite so, quite so? But what about this? What if we attempt to render you a rich gift, and you refuse it?" Tattletale leaned toward me as she said this, and it struck me that her face was not only that of a fox (a comparison that was perhaps too easy to make because her mischievous eyebrows and sharp grin suggested it at once) but that of a stuffed fox. I have heard those who dig for their livelihood say there is no land anywhere in which they can trench without turning up the shards of the past. No matter where the spade turns the soil, it uncovers broken pavements and corroding metal; and scholars write that the kind of sand that artists call polychrome (because flecks of every color are mixed with its whiteness) is actually not sand at all, but the glass of the past, now pounded to powder by aeons of bumbling in the clamorous sea. If there are layers of reality beneath the reality we see, even as there are layers of history beneath the ground we walk upon, then in one of those more profound realities, Tattletale's face was a fox's mask on a wall, and I marveled to see it turn and bend now towards me, achieving by those motions, which made expression and thought appear to play across it with the shadows of the nose and brows, an amazing and realistic appearance of vivacity.
He'd obviously not gotten Taylor's voice down yet at that point.
“Well, Bug, a cape is gonna show up in less than a minute. You did us a solid by dealing with Lung, so take my advice. Someone from the Protectorate shows up, finds two bad guys duking it out, they’re not going to let one walk away. You should get out of here,” She said. She flashed me a smile.

Cool spectacles
“The current Captain of the Wardens, a man named McCoy, a man with great deal more powerful and experience than me, had brought down three.” pg. 24 Eb mention

Even Hand

I’m so excited for this short story
“A successful murder is like a successful restaurant: Ninety percent of it is about location, location, location” pg. 226 Ha and I probably shouldn’t have laughed at that
“They knelt over a large faded stain the concrete floor, left on the floor by the hypocritical White Council of Wizardly during their last execution.” pg. 226 Is Marcone making a point by having this executive here? How does Marcone know about the execution? And yes the White Council is hypocritical. We now have three canonical warehouses in all of Chicago. They just cycle through them.
“The man was young and good looking.” pg. 226 Is…is Marcone Bi? Gay? Bi Marcone 1
Oh Marcone is doing the execution himself
Why Boston? That’s so far away
Mr. Morell is the mob boss of Chicago
“I run the whores” pg. 227 Marcone that’s rude to say. It’s either sex worker or seamstress
Marcone your putting the one alive guy in a shipping container with his dead colleagues.
“He twitched his chin in the slight motion that he used for a nod when he disproved of my actions but intended to obey be anyway.” pg.227 Marcone knows Hendricks well
“Location, location, location” pg. 228 Ha nice call back
“Obviously, I am not Harry Dresden” pg. 228 First Harry Dresden mention
“My name is something I rarely trouble to remember, but for most of my adult life, I have been called John Marcone.” pg. 228 John Marcone isn’t his actual name!?
“I’m not even possessed of the mystic abilities of a mortal wizard.” pg. 228 Not yet
Yes they broke Marcone rules about kids
“He was hunched over a laptop too small for him, plugging away at his thesis” pg. 230 Hendricks has a thesis?! Cool
“The problem was young and attractive.” pg. 230 Bi Marcone 2
Justine!
“You are a sometime associate of Harry Dresden” I said “Given his proclivities about those he considers to be under his aegis, it is sensible to identify as many of them as possible.” pg. 232 Of course Marcone keeps track of Harry and his friends. And Marcone you do the same with your employees.
I like that Marcone renovates old buildings instead of tearing them down.
Oh the Formor
“Précis please,” pg. 234 Of course Marcone know French
Hendricks knows how to use a sword!?
“I don’t grant favors” You don’t? What about helping save the thralls in White Knight? Or giving Harry info in Changes?
“He blasted the door into a cloud of flying splinters with what I presumed with magic.” pg. 235 Ha
“For God’s sake
At least the vampires would call for an appointment.” pg. 235 Ha
“After a few visits from Dresden and his ilk I’ve invested in cheap, light doors at dramatic (as opposed to tactical) entry points.” pg. 235 Ha and glad to see Harry left an impression. Has Harry noticed the flimsy doors?
“Sir. Please” pg. 236 If Harry was the one asking and saying please Marcone would cave and agree
“Is it so much to ask for civility?” pg. 236 Ha and you should be used to this with Harry
Ohhh copper circle nice
“you are property. You have no rights in the current situation” pg. 241 Marcone Justine isn’t property she’s a person
“I am not a humanitarian. When I offer charity it is for tax purposes.” pg. 241 Lying to yourself Marcone. Again what about the Raith deeps? What about the info he gave Harry in Changes? No wait this takes place before Changes. What about Amanda? What about saving Harry when Gard said he was to die?
“Hendricks looked at me sharply. He didn’t say anything he didn’t have to. I already knew the tone of whatever he would say. Are there no prisons? perhaps. Or, no man was an island, entire of itself. It tolls for thee. On and on.” pg. 243 Thank you Hendricks for being Marcone’s jimmy cricket/concussion
Yes she is a child
“It is, with the possible exception of Dresden’s home, the most secure location in the city.” pg. 245 Oh interesting that Marcone considers his safe house the second most secure place. He clearly respects Harry given his assessment of his abilities. How does Marcone know that Harry has the best? Could Gard not make the room the best?
“Honestly” pg. 246 Ha he’s so sarcastic
“They make the anti technology effect Dresden puts off looks like mild sunspot activity” pg. 248 Harry mention again that’s the fifth time and Harry isn’t even here
“I first handed in my patriotically delusional youth” pg. 250 Marcone was in the military?!
Oh no Hendricks :(
Ouch Marcone broke his arm
“Given a choice between that egocentric drivel and a broken arm, I prefer the latter.” pg. 253 Ha
Interesting armor that Gard has
“Be a dear and burn down the building” I said
 She appeared by my desk looking bruised, exhausted, and functional. She lifted both eyebrows. “Was that a joke?
“Apparently,” I said “Doubtless the result of triumph and adrenaline.”
“My word” she said. She looked startled” pg. 261 Marcone’s funny and why is Gard surprised? Harry and Marcone banter all the time
“Make it look like an accident.” pg. 261 So insurance fraud. What would Harry be under acts of God?
“quarter of a million dollars” pg. 261 Marcone just has that kind of money?
“He seemed fine by the time he left, growling at Gard as she fussed over him.” pg. 262 Aw
“To say nothing of the fact that the bullets themselves are rare.” pg. 262 Interesting
“Dear child,” I said “I am a criminal. One very good way to cover up a crime is to commit an another, more obvious one.” pg. 263 Marcone is so smart
“You might consider speaking to Father Forthill at St. Mary of the Angles. The Church appears to have some sort of program to place those endangered by the supernatural into hiding.” pg. 264 Interesting
“I debated putting a bullet in her head but decided against it.” pg. 265 Marcone no and besides didn’t you just talk about Harry and those under his protection
“If she should speak of today’s events to Dresden…” pg. 265 Sixth Harry mention. Did Justine tell Harry? I do wish Harry and Justine interacted more
“They were there to kill Harry Dresden.” pg. 265 Seventh Harry mention Bit dramatic much. I don’t know if all that would kill Harry. The bombs in his office didn’t do it. The sprinkler system might work. Not sure about Gard and the magic bullets. Besides it’s so dramatic. If you want to kill Harry just do what Kincaid did. Sniper rifle but this time aim for the head. This whole plan involves Harry attacking Marcone on his home turf and using magic instead of a gun.
“I would test myself against Dresden in earnest on day” pg. 265 Eighth Harry mention. Besides if they wanted to kill each other they could have done ages ago. Harry doesn’t even threaten Marcone that badly like he did with Marva. Eight mentions of Harry Dresden in one story.
“Location location location” pg. 266 Ha
Bigfoot on campus
“It’s coffee flavored coffee,”
“No mocha?”
“Fuck mocha”
“Thank god” I said. “Black” pg. 267 Ha
“Am I under arrest?”
“That’s what we’re going to talk about” pg. 268 Ha 
“you could explain why I found you in the middle of an orgy.”
“Well” I said “if you’re going to be in an orgy the middle is the best spot isn’t it?” pg. 268 Ha
“Maybe you could explain why there was a car on the fourth floor of the dorm”
“Classic college prank” I said
“Usually when that happens, it hasn’t made big holes in the exterior wall.”
“Someone was avoiding cliche?” pg. 269 Ha
“What about all the blood?”
“There were no injuries, were there?”
“No”
“Then who cares? Some film student watched  Carrie too many times.” pg. 269 Ha
“Six separate calls in the past three hours with a Bigfoot sighting on campus. Bigfoot. What do you know about that?
“Well kids these days with their internets and their video games and their iPods. Who knows what they thought they saw.” pg. 269 Ha
“They almost never get violated, and when they do, it’s a big deal.” pg. 273 Yeah like starting a war
“In the Midwest, if you show up to a college town on a weekend, you risk running into a football game. In my experience, that resulted in universal problems with traffic, availability hotel rooms, and drunken football hooligans.
Or wait: Soccer is the one with hooligans. Drunken American football fans are just…drunks I guess.” pg. 277 Ha
“There was nothing in particular that should have caused my hormones to rage.” pg. 281 White court vampire calling it now
“They were becoming increasingly flecked with motes of molten silver” pg. 284 I knew it!
Wait I don’t think she knows oh no
“I couldn’t answer him for a second, the air felt so close. The last time I’d felt this much latent waiting power, I’d been standing next to my mentor Ebenezar McCoy, when he was gathering his strength for a spell.” pg. 292 Eb mention
“And this organization called the Paranet” pg. 293 Paranet! This is what I’m talking about information sharing yes
“People don’t want to know the truth. That makes it simple to hide. Wow, ten minutes? Really? I guess I’m not an Internetty person.”
“Internetty” Irwin said, seriously “I guess you aren’t” pg. 294 Ha
“So how come Kid Bigfoot wasn’t dead?” pg. 302 Interesting maybe because he’s got do much life energy Irwin didn’t die?
“The girl was in love with Irwin” pg. 302 I wonder how Connie can touch Irwin without getting burn?
“My son has joined himself to a parasite.”
“I felt a flash of milf outrage” pg. 302 RiverShoulders she’s a person
“I’ll give you till midnight to leave the state. After that you’re gone. One way or another”
“Hang on, I’m terrified let me catch my breath.”
“I react poorly to those who threaten my family’s well being, Dresden.”
“Yeah. You’re a regular Ozzie Nelson. John Walton. Ben Cartwright.
“Excuse me?”
“Mr. Drummond? Charlie…in charge? No?”
“What are you blabbing about?”
“Hells bells, man. Don’t any of you White Court bozos ever watch television? I’m giving you pop-reference golf here. Gold.” pg. 309 Ha
Wild Bill!
“Also, my pants had shrunk by several sizes.” pg. 323 What? Why?
Go Riversholders! He threw a car!
“Don’t be a moron Harry,” I said “You came for the kid. He’s safe. That’s all you were obligated to do. Let it g- Oh who am I kidding. There’s a girl.” pg. 334 Ha
“Wait. A…what? Am I going to sparkle or something?”
“God, no” said Irwin and I together” pg. 340
Bombshell
“I miss my boss” pg. 345 Poor Molly :(
“Harry wouldn’t have felt that. Harry would have saved the day. He would have smashed the Formor goons around like bowling pins, picking the kid up like some kind of serial-movie hero, and taken him to safety.” pg. 346 Hero worship
Justine!
“When you’re in magic, people always assume you do must be connected to it. Harry always thought it was funny. To him, magic was just one more set of tools that the mind could use to solve problems.” pg. 350 Interesting
“I hadn’t wanted to hurt his feelings but that kind of thing really wasn’t necessary.” pg. 354  Interesting to see how Molly used Harry’s spell and changed it
“The math wasn’t hard. I had two angles measured against the magnetic north.” pg. 355 Interesting how much math is involved in magic
“That bitch deserved to be run over by a car.” pg. 377 Poor Molly :(
“This isn’t going to work.” Justine murmured
“It’s going to work.” I told her keeping my tone confident. We’ll breeze right in. The Rack will be with us.”
Justine glanced at me with an arched brow “The Rack?”
“The Rack is more than just boobs, Justine” I told her soberly. “It’s an energy field created by all living boobs. It surrounds us, penetrates us, and binds the galaxy together.”
Andi started giggling. “You’re insane.”
“But functionally so,” I said, and adjusted myself to round out a little better. “Just let go of conscious self and act on instinct.
Justine stared blankly at me for a second. Then her face lightened and she let out a little laugh. “The Rack will be with us?”
I couldn’t stop myself from cracking a smile “Always.” pg. 381 Ha
“I spotted Gentleman Jonnie Marcone, the head of Chicago’s outfit, in attendance, with his gorilla, Hendricks, and his personal attack witch, Gard, floating around near him.” pg. 385 Marcone! Again with that spelling. Why is Molly calling Hendricks a gorilla and Gard a attack witch?
“Too easy,” I whispered “This was too easy.” pg. 397 Yep something’s up
“Mortal upstart. Calling himself a baron. He will pay for what he did to my brother.” pg. 403 Marcone! This is the brother of the Formor from Even Hand
“Miss Gard freaked out about two minutes ago and all but carried out Marcone out of here. Security is mobilizing.” pg. 407 Why am I picturing Gard bride carrying or fireman carrying Marcone?
“Dammit,” I growled “What would Harry do?” pg. 409 WWHD Harry would make it up as he goes so you’re doing great at that part Molly
“Harry had once told me that when you had one problem, you had a problem. But when you had several problems, you might have several solutions.” pg. 409 Interesting
“Hey God” I whispered. “I know I haven’t been  around much lately, but if you could do me a solid here, it would be really awesome for a lot of people. Please let me be right.” pg. 419 Ha
“Harry. Alive.” pg. 431 Yay!
Cold Case
“My own clothing, I knew disappointed her gravely, but I was used to doing that to mother-figures.” pg. 435 Ouch poor Molly :(
Carlos!
“Harry Dresden has had a horrible influence on far too many people, and has much to answer for.” pg. 449 Ha
“I’d had recurring nightmares about it, in fact.”  pg. 450 Didn’t Harry also have nightmares about the wardens?
Elaine!
“Psychic interrogation” pg. 460 Oh no
“Warden do a lot of good.” He said quietly “It isn’t always pretty, what we do, but it needs to be done.” pg. 464 Wardens kill children Carlos
“He dealt with them on a continuous basis, after all, and in his studied opinion, if you had one problem, you had a problem. But if you had multiple problems, you might also have an opportunity. pg. 468 Call back to bombshell!
“God, I love hero work.” Carlos said as we stepped back out into the storm. “No murky gray area, no anguished questions, no conflicting mortality. Bad guys took some kids, and we’re gonna get’em out.” pg. 476 That does sound nice and I like how this shows the reader how young Carlos is
“Maybe if someone had offered a hand to the monsters, they wouldn’t have become monsters in the first place.” pg. 477 Yes!
“I was carrying pliers with me, so that I could take vampire teeth as trophies.” pg. 477 Carlos that’s not a good thing. That’s spoils of war or serial killer trophies and that’s bad.
“Mom taught me, She was scoutmaster for my brothers.” pg. 480 Cool
“Outsiders” pg. 481 Oh no
So Outsiders plus fisherman equals Call of Cthulhu
“Harry was a big believer in kicking in the teeth of whoever you planned to fight.” pg. 485 Ha and yes good tactics
“kicked the big double door off their hinges as if they’d been made of balsa and Scotch tape.
At which point I learned the real reason Harry keeps doing that.
It. Is. Awesome.” pg. 486 Ha
“And then I was sitting on the floor of the shower, shuddering, hot water pouring down around me.” pg. 499 What
“I looked down at the water. The drain stopper was down, and it was seven or eight inches deep.
And pink.” pg. 500 What happened?
Poor Carlos :(
Ok so Molly can’t have sex and the mantel will attack anyone who tries to have sex with her.
“You want me to take their children.” pg. 504 Oh no :(
Jury Duty
“Summons,” I said glowering. “It’s a freaking command. They want to see a real summoning is, I could show them.” pg. 513 Ha  and I can’t believe the government got Harry a summons. He died then came back from the dead and was homeless for a bit. There’s no way bureaucracy was this fast. There has to be scheming involved. String pulling from someone. Maybe Lara or Marcone?
“More had been set aside by the new owner of my old address, formerly Mrs. Spunkelcheif’s boardinghouse, and now the Better Future Society. I hadn’t been able to stomach asking the new owner for my mail, but Butters had gotten it for me.” pg. 513 Wait does this mean that Marcone kept Harry’s mail? How long did Marcone keep Harry’s mail? Even when Harry was dead? Was Marcone hoping Harry would come get them? What was the conversation between Butters and Marcone like?
“The government isn’t the mob, Harry.”
“Aren’t they?” I asked “Pay them money every year to protect you, and God help you don’t.” pg. 514 Ha
“Then a guy in a black muumuu showed up and reconnected the plot of My cousin Vinney.
Okay, it was a robe and the guy was the judge, and he gave us a brief outline of the format of the trial system, but it’s not nearly as entertaining to say it that way.” pg. 516 Ha
“The new kid was in his late twenties” pg. 517 Who let this kid be the prosecutor? He can’t be that out of law school.
“So where was his public defender?” pg. 518 He’s got the right to a public defender so where are they? Something’s up I’m suspicious
“Everyone stood up. After a second, so did I.
I guess you could say I’m not really a joiner.” pg. 518 Ha
“He held up a glossy professional headshot of a handsome man in his thirties and showed it to us.” pg. 520 Bi Harry 42
“drag a female child, Latino, around the age of ten, into the alley.” pg. 526 Oh
“Something did not add up here.” pg. 528 Yep
So let’s review the facts
Harry who’s died and come back from the died for less than a month only a gets a jury summons despite bureaucracy being slow.
The prosecutor is a new kid and not the DA.
The defense doesn’t have an attorney.
The victim was a stock broker.
The defendant is a tough guy who’s definitely been in fights before.
There is supposedly a child that the man kidnapped.
The defendant is more beat up than seems appropriate.
In conclusion I think that the fear eating Raiths are the victim was a stockbroker and not a ghoul got the girl and the defendant killed a White Court vampire. Then either Marcone or Lara stacked the jury to have Harry involved. They made it so the prosecution was a new guy and the defense doesn’t have a lawyer.
“Nobody was going to go bat for him.
Unless I did it.” pg. 529 Yep
“I started with Johnny Cash version of “Hurt” which was pretty simple. I sang along with it. I’m not good, but I can hit the notes and keep the rhythm going” pg. 533 This is nice and I miss Harry’s guitar and I wish he’d played more
“The door was locked.
It was also made of glass.
I smiled.” pg. 537 Ha
“Tania Raith” I knew a Raith was involved
“She wielded enormous influence in Chicago, maybe as much as the head of Chicago outfit, Gentleman Johnnie Marcone, gangster lord of the mean streets.” pg. 539 Marcone mention!
“Because you know what happened the last time some vampires abducted a little girl and I decided to take her back. pg. 539 Yep scary threat
“I believe Baron Marcone has recognized claim on this city. Or am I mistaken?” pg. 540 It’s their city
“Luther was one of Marcone’s soldiers.” pg. 540 Oh
“He pulled some strings to get me on the jury.” pg. 541 I knew strings were pulled
“Dammit Marcone had put me where there’d be a guy getting fast- tracked to an unjust sentence and known damn well how I’d react. He could have asked me for help, but I’d have told him to take a flying…leap. And he’d have known that. So he set it up without me knowing.” pg. 542 Marcone knows him so well
“What does Marcone mean to you? You don’t owe him anything. Why not sit down, have a drink, help me celebrate.” pg. 543 Tania asking the real questions
Riley doesn’t get paid enough
Tania really does need a babysitter.
“Goddamn supernatural assholes” pg. 550 Does she know? Does the Judge know?
Day one
“There were a great many letters in that, and not much that I understood” pg. 558 Ha
Lamar!
“The skull is very dangerous object.” He said “It doesn’t…understand love. It doesn’t understand faith.” pg. 568 Bob!
Fear monster
Harry!
“Polka will never die” pg. 587 Yes!
“You stand up and kick it in the fucking teeth” he said and there was a quiet certain power in his voice that had nothing to do with magic. “You’ve forgotten the most important thing a Knight needs to remember, Butters.”
“What’s that?” I breathed
“Knights of the Cross aren’t afraid of monsters” he said. “Monster are afraid of you. Act like it. Commit to it, hard. And have faith.” pg. 590 Such a good speech.
“But I had faith in my friends
One friend in particular.” pg. 590 My heart :)
“ Ehyeh ašer ehyeh” pg. 594 A quick google search shows that this means I Am Who I Am
Zoo Day
“The man who mostly shaped me was a sadistic monster, and by the time my grandfather came along, Ebenezar wasn’t parenting so much as enticing psychological damage control.” pg. 599 Aw poor Harry :(
“I really really wanted to get this right.” pg. 599 Aw
Of course Maggie likes Star Wars
“She was the most beautiful child I’d ever seen, but everyone thinks that about their kid.
 Maybe everyone is right.” pg. 601 Yes! and my heart :)
“What if I do it wrong?” pg. 601 My heart
“What if…I don’t know. What if I set something on fire?”
“Maybe we’ll roast some marshmallows” pg. 602 Don’t worry Maggie if anyone is going to set something on fire it’ll be Harry. And this marshmallow comment reminds be of the one in Changes
Oh a warlock
“I stared at the kid for a while.
I had been that kid for a while.” pg. 608 Poor Harry poor kid
“Then I did something I don’t do very often: I turned my back and walked away.” pg. 608 What
“She picked up a French fry and dipped it in a large mound of mustard. Not ketchup.
What?” pg. 610 What
“If someone needs your help, you help them.” Maggie said simply “Even when it’s really hard. Miss Molly told me that about you.” pg. 612 Yep
“If I hadn’t been so exhausted, I’d have been just one more warlock slain while resisting arrest.” pg. 613 Interesting
I like all the dad Harry content I’m getting to see
Ohhh we’re getting two perspectives.
Maggie!
“My dad was a pretty scary-looking guy if you didn’t know him.” pg. 621 Aw and it’s always interesting to see other characters perspective of Harry
“Sort of like how grown ups can’t see the creeps” pg. 624
“If I didn’t have to worry about turning into a complete spaz” pg. 625 Aw poor Maggie :(
“Must be because Dad was here, and he really, really liked dad.” pg. 624 Aw
“What if he thought I was, you know? Broken. What if he didn’t want a daughter who was all funny in the head?” pg. 629 Aw poor Maggie I just want to give Maggie a hug
“And then my dad’s head shot up like Mouse when he smells lighter fluid at the Carpenters house, and his eyes flicked around him like big, hungry bear looking for something to tear  into.” pg. 629 Ha
“He should have had his coat. It would have been all swirly, like Batman. Jeans and an old Battlestar Galactica T-shirt just didn’t make the same impression.” pg. 633 I’m glad Maggie likes the coat.
“I interrupted it by throwing salt into its black, empty eyes.” pg. 634 Go Maggie!
“Because what if Miss Molly had told me the kid-safe version of the truth about my dad? What if he wasn’t as good as she said he was? What if he didn’t want to take care of a daughter who had issues? Who was really hard to be around.” pg. 639 Aw poor Maggie
“Hey you, Space Face” pg. 640 Ha
“Good boy, Mouse” pg. 642 Yes good boy!
Mouse looks really cool
Oh interesting that Maggie knows Spanish
Poor Maggie
Three perspectives!
Mouse yes you’re a good dog!
“My Friend was worried he could not be a good father to a little girl, which is ridiculous-but if he wasn’t worried about it, he wouldn’t be the person he is” pg. 652 Aw
“Is my Friend awesome or what?” pg. 659 Yes he is
“My Shadow, it would seem” pg. 661 Interesting
“Brother” pg. 670 Interesting
“Needs must be done?” I asked. “Who talks like that? Honestly.” pg. 673 Ha
“An acquired habit. I can’t imagine where I learned it” pg. 673 Ha
“You are like the others, after all. His slave. I don’t deal with trivial matters. I care nothing for your broken wizard.” pg. 674 No Mouse and Harry are friends and what do you mean broken wizard?
“I assume you’ve never seen The Dark Knight.” pg. 674 Ha and of course Mouse has seen it :)
“I was raised by a wizard. When it comes to fighting, I tend to cheat whenever possible.” pg. 675 Ha
“I told you, everyone says I am a Good Boy and that means treats. But perhaps I would make more time to exercise when this was settled.” pg. 676 Ha
“There was nothing more I could do to help him. I would have to trust to fortune and the Almighty and Queen Mab and Odin and whatever other friendly Powers that might be watching that My Friend would, please, please, please be all right.” pg. 681 Ha
“But what he meant was Good Dog.” pg. 686 Yes!
Dresden files live blog
Monster
“Plus, I’m never sure when she’ll try to kill me again.
It’s complicated” I’m sorry what
Marcone!
“No Valkerye girl Friday?” Ha
Oh someone broke Marcone’s rule they’re gonna die
“There’s another person I could go to.
But even if he believed me and agreed to the job, he would complicate it unbearably. We’d be at war with Canada within the week. Somehow.” Ha and I assume they’re talking about Harry
“There was angels standing guard around another house not unlike this one not three blocks away.” Michael’s house!
“Oh. Yes. People.”
“I keep forgetting them” Viti what do you mean you ‘keep forgetting them’?
“Viti had been a survivor of a training program  whose members had, as the culmination of their training, been assigned to murder one another” Is Viti a red widow?
Poor kids :(
“Viti turned the gun on the kids, who flinched.” VITI NO
“Hey, you know how a nine-hundred-pound Bengal tiger gets into a locked room?
Any damned way it wants.” Ha
“The next day, Marcone, with his big dumb Einherjaren bodyguard.” Who is this bodyguard? Where’s Hendricks? Where’s Gard?
“But grapefruit juice?” Grapefruit? Really? Who willingly drinks grapefruit juice?
“Monster LLC calling for Harry Dresden,” she said “Please tell that there are children who need his help.” Of course they call Harry. This is right up his alley! 
Final thoughts
I liked these stories especially Even Hand and Zoo Days. I loved all the Marcone mentions and his story. I liked the fights and thought the stories were funny. I liked the different perspectives. I want to give Maggie and Harry hugs. I loved all the Dad Harry content I got in Zoo Days. There were so many Bi Harry moments in these. We’re up to 42 moments. Molly’s stories were sad :( Cool that beings exist that only kids can see. Not a fan of some of the things Luccio and Carlos say. I loved Butters first mission. I liked the monster story. I love what Marcone says about Harry. I love that Gary calls Harry. Overall I liked it.
Even Hand
My favorite story. I love the look into Marcone. I do wonder how John Marcone not being John’s Name will play out. Could this name be used against him or used in oaths? Does ‘John Marcone’ hold more weight than his given name now? Who knows his given name? Why did he change it? This does bring interesting ideas with his alliance with Mab and Vadderung. Him being a marine is interesting. Did Marcone serve a full time in the marine? Did he get honorably discharged? Dishonored? What was his rank? I liked how sarcastic Marcone is. He really is a good foil to Harry. I like the 2 Bi Marcone moments. I love that Harry has left such an impression on Marcone with the flimsy doors and the elaborate death trap. I like how Marcone saved both Justine and the kid. I love the Hendricks and Gard moment.

Excerpts from Carl G. Jung's Memories, Dreams, Reflections: pgs 117 - 132,
"in my practice I was constantly impressed by the way the human psyche reacts to a crime committed unconsciously." pg 122
"She had to confess, and for this purpose she came to me. She was a murderess, but on top of that she had also murdered herself. For one who commits such a crime destroys his own soul. The murderer has already passed sentence on himself." pg 123
"Clinical diagnoses are important, since they give the doctor a certain orientation; but they do not help the patient. The crucial thing is the story. For it alone shows the human background and the human suffering, and only at that point can the doctor's therapy begins to operate." pg 124
"Through my work with the patients I realized that paranoid ideas and hallucinations contain a germ of meaning. A personality, a life history, a pattern of hopes and desires lie behind the psychosis. The fault is ours if we do not understand them... At bottom we discover nothing new and unknown in the mentally ill; rather, we encounter the substratum of our own matter." pg 127
"Regarding them from the outside, all we see of the mentally ill is their tragic destruction, rarely the life of that side of the psyche which is turned away from us." pg 128
"The cure ought to grow out of the patient himself." pg 131
"The crucial point is that I confront the patient as one human being to another." pg 131
"The psyche is distinctly more complicated and inaccessible than the body, It is, so to speak, the half of the world which comes into existence only when we become conscious of it." pg 132
"Nowadays we can see as never before that the peril which threatens all of us comes not from nature, but from man, from the psyches of the individuals and the mass. The psychic aberration of man is the danger. Everything depends upon whether or not our psyche functions properly. If certain persons lose their head nowadays, a hydrogen bomb will go off." pg 132

You know, At this point I’m just trying to finish Ch.4 _(:3」∠)_, maybe I should split this chapter? To be like Ch.4.5 or something like that, since it’s already 126 pages and the end of this chapter is barely coming 
And the last pages are really gonna push me past my comfort zone in drawing since it’ll include more dynamic scenes. And linking all these pages are becoming a hassle Haha (゚ヮ゚) idk, my storyboard is a mess and I kept adding and deleting shit.  Next

This one takes place after Chapter 20, while they're in the RPG.
PG 121
Extra 1 Tiny Leader Yamato: You did it, Riku! Yamato: (Now I can buy the item to get back to my normal size!)
Yamato: Let’s hurry to the general store!
*Silence* Yamato: Eh?
Iori: You’re already changing back…? Yamato: Huh? Tamaki: Boring~! Yamato: Oi… Nagi: It doesn’t matter if you stay small like this, Yamato. Yamato: It matters to me, idiot…!
PG 122 Yamato: You can go with me! Let’s go, Riku!
*dash* Yamato: OI!
Tamaki: We’ve got time so let’s have a little fun~ Pretend Titan Yamato: Uwaaahh Ooiii!! Yamato: (This isn’t fun!)
PG 123 Iori: What kind of entertainer doesn’t take advantage of such a rare condition, Nikaido-san? Yamato: Ichi, why you! (It’s not what I prefer, but one must consider the possibilities.) 
Sogo: *Doesn’t know how to join in* Yamato: Help meee!!
Mitsuki: Hey now, guys!
Mitsuki: You shouldn’t make fun of the way someone looks! Yamato: Mitsu… (I’m always making fun of you…) Mitsuki: But!
Mitsuki: It’s a good opportunity to know how it feels to be on the side being played, huh!! Riku?: (Eh?!) Mitsuki-kun, isn’t that just getting revenge? Mitsuki: Hm… two birds, one stone??
Iori: That’s right…if we were to capitalize on this smallness as performers…
*closing in*
PG 124 Iori: We could put you in a teacup- Yamato: Am I a poodle?! Iori: -or a birdcage might be kind of cute… Iori: Let’s make you fancy with a costume and basket. Yamato: No way! I won’t even consider it!!
Nagi: Unfortunately, Yamato isn’t funny-looking enough to see as a mascot character. Yamato: I know that!!
Nagi: BUT.  Nagi: That would mean something fresh and unique compared to other characters…! Kokona’s Mascot Character
PG 125 Nagi: Congratulations on your debut as a promo mascot, Yamato!! Mitsuki: (Whoa!) Yamato: I’m not doing that!!
Yamato: You—-!!! Sogo: *Taking notes on humor*
*ah ha ha ha*
*jump* *dash*
PG 126 Riku: Everyone’s cheating! Riku: (I want to play with Yamato-san, too!) Yamato: Look, you made Riku sad! Tamaki: Tch
Around that time, Tsumugi is… "Ah ha ha ha" (We’re sorry!) In agony after being told about the discovery of this difficult problem.
Meanwhile, at the Takanashi Productions Office Banri: For today’s snack, I tried making cheesecake out of tofu. Takanashi: Thanks as always, Banri-kun After this, he was contacted by Tsumugi with a schedule adjustment and to say an apology visit was no longer necessary.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Good news, love. There is indeed a man out there who heard your prayer.  It may not be after midnight, but I am most assuredly a man, and I’m at your disposal.”
Emma’s jaw dropped as she opened her door to see her across the street neighbor in full pirate regalia standing before her and flirting outrageously.
It took her brain a second to catch up, but when it did, she realized what he’d just said.
“Excuse me?” she asked, folding her arms and frowning ferociously.  “What, were you spying on me?  You think it’s fun to creep on a person working out in the privacy of her own home?  You are a stalker!”
He swaggered a step farther toward her, and she put out her hand to stop his progress.  “I prefer dashing rapscallion,” he purred, “scoundrel?”
The way he lowered his voice, tucking his chin and looking up at her from beneath heavily lidded eyes at that last part did things to her.  Things that were very definitely not PG rated.
That annoyed her more than anything.
“What you are is someone who needs to leave,” she said. “Now. Before I call the cops or knee you in the jewels or something.”
He looked on the point of responding, when Henry, her miniature black goldendoodle, suddenly made a flying leap through the air toward their intruder.  For a moment, the man looked taken aback, but it took less than a moment for him to realize that the only threat Henry posed to him was the threat of licking him to death.
“It would seem your dog disagrees, love.”
Emma rolled her eyes.  A watchdog Henry was not.  He’d yet to find another creature--of any species--that he didn’t immediately want to be best friends with.
The man laughed as Henry jumped around him, yipping and whining in excitement, licking any bit of skin he could find.  The pirate bent down and patted Henry affectionately as his laughter continued.
Emma wished she could say the sound of his laughter, the fact that he was obviously wonderful with animals, didn’t do anything to her.
This man was trouble.  She’d known that since the moment she’d first caught a glimpse of him through her front picture window three weeks ago.  If her disastrous history with men had taught her anything, it was that hot men were not to be trusted, and though she hated to admit it, this man was hot.  Like the-sun-feels-kind-of-lukewarm-in-comparison hot.
She’d noticed him throughout the past weeks.  How could she not?  His apartment was indecently close to her own.
Didn’t help that Henry had also noticed the guy’s golden retriever and, of course, was desperate to go play with him.
So far she’d managed to avoid actually coming into contact with her sexy-as-hell neighbor, but it looked like today her luck had finally run out.
Now that Henry had met his newest best friend, there would be no living with him if she didn’t at least let the man in for a visit.
Emma sighed again, before stepping back and sweeping her arm out in invitation (a move that surprised him, if the way his eyebrows raised was any indication).
“You got a name,” she asked, “or should I just call you annoying hot stalker guy who likes to spy on women in his spare time?”
He grinned delightely.  “Hot?”
She rolled her eyes. Of course that’s the part of her sentence he picked up on.  She crossed her arms again, and he apparently got the picture that outrageous flirtation time was over.  “Killian Jones,” he said, “but my clients at the harbor have taken to calling me by my more colorful moniker. Hook.”
He raised his left arm, and she noticed the rather realistic looking steel hook he held in his left hand.  She supposed she should be alarmed that a stranger armed with an apparently deadly weapon was currently standing in her living room, but her instincts told her that he posed no danger to her.
In fact, even more than that, her instincts told her he was trustworthy, maybe even a good guy, and though they’d never met, she had the strangest feeling that she knew the guy; that they were destined to be friends (or more).
She recalled a conversation she’d had once with her best friend Mary Margaret Nolan.  “I can’t explain it, Emma,” she’d said.  “From the moment I met David I just knew.  It was like we’d known each other forever, you know?  I don’t know if I believe in love at first sight, but I knew there was something there, something amazing from the very start.”
Emma had scoffed at the notion.  After all, Mary Margaret had always been a hopeless romantic, someone who was utterly captivated by idiotic romantic comedies that usually had Emma’s eyes rolling out of her head.  Only made sense that as soon as she met a guy she might like, she’d convinced herself she was living a romance novel of her very own.
But now...well, now Emma wasn’t so sure.  Now she was starting to wonder if Mary Margaret had a point
And she hated it.
Give him a chance! Her inner Mary Margaret said.  She should ignore the voice.  She really should.  She knew that.  Did she remember Neal? August?  Or worst of all Walsh (What even was his obsession with flying monkeys?!)?  They’d all seemed promising at first, and then...ugh, she didn’t even want to think about how colossally badly each of those relationships had ended.
So yeah, she should toss Killian Jones out on his ass, cutting this off at the pass before it even started (not there even was a “this” right now.  She’d just met the man for heaven’s sake!), but somehow she couldn’t.  Somehow her desire to get to know him was stronger than her sense of self-preservation.
Damn Mary Margaret and her stupidly contagious hope.  
“Emma Swan,” she finally responded, realizing to her chagrin (and to his delight, apparently, gauging by his stupid grin) that she’d been simply staring at him for an absurdly long time. “And that flying mop that is currently trying to drown you with kisses is Henry.”
He laughed, bending down again to caress her dog.  “I’m pleased to make your acquaintance, Henry,” he said, and then straightening again, he turned his gorgeous blue eyes on her before extending his hand.  “And it is a very distinct pleasure to meet you, Swan.”
She felt her face flame and her heart pound in reaction to the smoldering attention he was tossing her way
Get a grip, Emma!  You’d think this was the first hot guy you’d ever met.
She took a deep breath, took his hand, and gave it one quick, businesslike pump before she turned toward the kitchen.  “You want something to drink?” she asked.
“A water would be lovely, if it’s not too much trouble,” he answered.
“‘Kay,” she answered, already heading in the direction of her fridge.  “Go ahead and make yourself comfortable.  I’ll be right back.”
She took as long as she could reaching into her fridge, letting the cold air bathe her, hopefully cool her down a little.  She didn’t know what she was doing here; didn’t know how or why she’d ended up in this ridiculous situation, but in this situation she was, and she had to make the most of it.
Maybe...and she couldn’t believe she was even considering this...Mary Margaret had a point.  Maybe it was time to start letting her walls down.  She wasn’t going to take a wrecking ball to them altogether, but maybe, just maybe pulling down a few bricks here and there wouldn’t kill her.
Grabbing two water bottles, she turned back toward her living area, and her heart turned over at the sight before her.  Killian sat on the couch, Henry draped across his lap, making small contented noises as Killian rubbed his belly.
You can trust him, her inner Mary Margaret insisted again.  Today just might be the start of something amazing if you let it.
Maybe it would, or maybe it wouldn’t, Emma thought as she handed him his water and took a seat across from him, but for the first time in years she was willing to take that chance.
“So Killian Jones, tell me a little bit about yourself.”
 Notes:
--Happy Friday and happy….spring?  I don’t even know what season it is anymore after we got a ridiculously late snow earlier this week.  At any rate you get an update two weeks in a row!  (Don’t get too used to it; I make no guarantees that will continue, lol.)
--So Emma (with the help of her dog Henry) overcame her natural self-preservation instincts to slam the door in Killian’s face and has decided to take a chance on him.  I suspect her inner Mary Margaret is right.  This could be the start of something amazing.
--And Henry?  Yeah, he is 100% based on my dog, Bear.  This is exactly how he’d react if Killian showed up at my door.  (Of course, that’s not saying much.  It’s also exactly how he’d react if [fill in the blank with the OUAT character you hate most or find most annoying] showed up at my door.)
--What do you think?  Is this fluffy little story at an end, or does it need another chapter?  I’m kind of torn.  On the one hand, I kind of like where I left it.  On the other, I mean *shrug*  Who knows?  There’s always room for more CS romance.  Maybe the muse will decide there’s more to this story left to tell.

Ateez Reaction: Seeing their s/o faint
Tumblr media
P: Ateez x gender neutral reader | G: reaction, fluff, angst if you squint lol | Inc: fainting, makeshift dates, recovery position, practice room, getting something to eat, worried babies :((, Yunho carrying you bridal style, blood sugar levels dropping, dancer!au for San, Yeosang being a lil smug (we love him for it-), dancer!au for Sannie, getting fresh air, overexhaustion | Wc: 1.3k | W/R: G/ food cw
Tumblr media
성화 (Seonghwa)
This guy is by your side immediately
Let’s be honest, he knew something was wrong the entire day
You can’t fool this guy
Has your legs slightly raised and asks one of the members to get a cushion for your head
Loosens your clothing and asks around if anyone has anything sweet for you
Your blood sugar must have been extremely low if you’re passed out in his arms
When you come to, he hands you a water bottle and a protein bar
Courtesy of Jongho :)
If you do get embarrassed, he lets you hide in his chest, and gently strokes your head
You didn’t intend to faint after all
You did give everyone a shock though, that’s undeniable
Helps you onto your feet and takes you aside
“Let’s get something to eat, hmm?”
“Didn’t you have practice? I don’t want to-”
Will not let you finish your sentence lol
“That doesn’t matter right now, my baby needs to be looked after.”
His managers already gave him the go-ahead
You two both go and get food, it turns into a makeshift date, it’s all good~
홍중 (Hongjoong)
Hongjoong was in his studio when he heard the news
San had rushed over in a panic
“What is it Sannie?”
“It’s y/n! We were joking around with the pull-up bar, and they passed out!”
The sheer speed at which this mf responds just-
He makes The Flash look like a snail fam
By the time he reaches you, one of the managers is by your side and making sure you aren’t injured
Glad to see you awake, but you did pass out, so ofc he’s worried

...soft bf!Wooyoung pulls you closer - if it's even possible - under the blanket, his arms wrapped around you as you both watch a Pixar movie marathon. You'd think he'd be wiping away tears as Wall-E flashes on screen, if it wasn't for the bet he had made earlier (that he wouldn't cry for a single movie, that is.), except there's no hiding the sniffles that accompany the sounds of the film every now and then.

...clingy bf!Jaehyun pulls you back into his chest as you try to get out of bed, sleepy mutterings of 'five more minutes' following suit. He'd missed you, and there was no way you were getting out of Valentine's Day boy's arms. Not that you wanted to.

Headcanon: Soft Boyfriend Jaehyun
Tumblr media
Pairing: Jaehyun x gender neutral reader // NCT
Genre: fluff, headcanon
Includes: 127 members mention, Donghyuck mention, visiting him at practice, dates, coffee shops, cuddling, back-hugs, the dorms, cooking together, teasing, gifts.
Word count: 469
Warning/ Rating: n/a / PG
Tagging: @kwritersworld, @kdiarynet, @kpopscape, @ultkpopnetwork, @kpopficsnetwork, @kpopcontentcreatorsclub​, @k-dinernet​, @lovesick-net​, @whipped-kpop-creators​, @kafenetwork​, @neoswitchnet​, @nct-writers​
Please, soft boyfriend is a concept I live for.
Jae randomly sending you pictures of practice with the boys (you both love making fun of the other maknaes)
You surprising him with coffee and his favourite snacks during practice.
The others may or may not have claimed you as their own now.
You’re in this for life now-
The other neos casually hugging and talking to you, then he suddenly shows up out of seemingly nowhere and back-hugs you.
“Mine...” As he pulls you away from the other fratboys - I’m sorry, the other members.
Sitting with you in his lap as he talks about his day and asks you about yours.
Okay hold me I’m soft now-
Or when you visit him in the dorms
Yeah, no - this man clings to you at any chance he gets.
Cue the random neck kisses.
And there’s nothing sexual about it, he just likes watching your face when he does it.
Literally this face; (^_^)
Finds the littlest things about you the cutest thing on earth.
Your tired lil’ dance as you make your first cup of coffee or tea in the morning.
Or the way you draw aimless patterns on his hands with pen if he sits with you while you work.
As much as the make the staff take an extra ten minutes to wipe it off, they find it cute too-
Omg going on dates with Jaehyun
Bringing you to coffee shops near parks so you can see the view as you have your drinks.
Or grabbing food together after he finishes his schedule.
And you hold hands as you walk down the streets.
You know Jae loves buying gifts that the most random times

Head-canon; Spa Day with Changkyun
Tumblr media
Pairing: Changkyun (I.M) x gender neutral reader // Monsta X
Genre: fluff, headcanon
Includes: spa day, Changkyun making breakfast, off-day, the sea, massages, being spoiled, Kyun burning the end of his finger, sleeping, taking a picture of reader, cuddles, kdrama, grateful
Word count: 479
Warning: n/a

Tagging: @kwritersworld, @kdiarynet, @kpopscape, @ultkpopnetwork, @kpopficsnetwork, @kpopcontentcreatorsclub​, @k-dinernet, @lovesick-net, @whipped-kpop-creators, @kafenetwork
An: He’s so cute wtf :(
Oh my God this is the cutest thing ever
It’s was Kyun’s idea; he had seen you stressed at work all week and wanted to spoil you.
Although, he didn’t say much about it until your off-day.
It was going to be a surprise!
But the way he’d constantly smile to himself please 
It was way too obvious that he had something planned.
This baby can’t hide anything from you.
Literally anything. 
So when your off-day does come around, Changkyun was already making breakfast before you got up.
You were going to be spoiled rotten today.
He wasn’t going to let you get stressed over work one bit.
And hey, you weren’t complaining-
Being spoiled every now and then was pretty nice~
Breakfast was wonderful, of course.
Okay maybe he burnt the end of his finger in all his excitement, but hey, he didn’t mind. 
It was all for you. Romantic much?
On the way to the spa, you sat back and watched the scenery pass by your window.
Until you saw...the sea?
Exactly what spa was this romantic taking you to?
Walking inside the spa...it was basically heaven on earth.
The aesthetics I tell you - perfect.

“You have zeal for salvation. When you have this zeal, it shows itself in the fervent care for salvation. It is absolutely necessary to avoid lukewarmness. This is how lukewarmness arises: it begins with forgetfulness. God’s gifts are forgotten, and so are God Himself, and our salvation in Him, and the danger of being without God; and the remembrance of death disappears—in a word, the whole spiritual realm is closed to us. This is due to the enemy, or to the dispersion of thoughts by business cares and excessive social contacts. When all is forgotten the heart grows cool, and its sensitivity to spiritual things is interrupted; and so we fall into a state of indifference, and then into negligence and carelessness. As a result, spiritual occupations are postponed for a time, and afterwards abandoned completely. And then we begin again our old way of life, careless and negligent, forgetful of God, seeking our own pleasure. Even if there is nothing disorderly in it, do not look for anything divine. It will be an empty life.” (Theophan the Recluse in The Art of Prayer: An Orthodox Anthology, pgs 122-123)

How many times has I’m sorry or it’s my fault been said in this comic
You want me to count them all? This'll take a while...
I'm not going to count any variations like "sorry", "I'm so sorry" or "it's because of me". Just specifically "I'm sorry" and "It's my fault".
s= I'm sorry f= It's my fault
Pg 39 - 1s Pg 45 - 1s Pg 48 - 1s Pg 71 - 1s Pg 95 - 1s Pg 97 - 1f Pg 99 - 1s Pg 109 - 1s Pg 113 - 1s Pg 122 - 4f 4s Pg 123 - 1s Pg 129 - 1s Pg 132 - 2f 2s Pg 144 - 1s Pg 155 - 1f 1s Pg 172 - 1s Pg 182 - 1f Pg 195 - 1s Pg 247 - 1s Pg 250 - 13f Pg 274 - 1f 1s Pg 295 - 1s Pg 299 - 1s Pg 301 - 4f 4s Pg 309 - 2s Pg 310 - 3s Pg 331 - 4s Pg 341 - 2s Pg 342 - 3f 4s Pg 360 - 1s Pg 399 - 6f 9s Pg 400 - 1s Pg 403 - 1s Pg 415 - 44s (give or take a few) Pg 483 - 1s And that is all so far. So that makes about 100 "I'm sorry" and 33 "It's my fault" TLDR: A lot.
