I can't say Butcher ever fails to bring it.

I thought I was going to make a coherent post on this, so I held off from posting the moment I got done (around midnight on Tuesday), but apparently that's not happening (at least for the moment) so disjointed thoughts below the cut.

Finally read Changes and now going back over my f-list to read folks' reactions, so -- hello :)

Wow. I really should have written that Sanya/Murphy fic that I've been meaning to for the last year and a half.

Haha, yes XD There was rather a lot of Sanya's admiration for Murphy in this one.

Okay, so this is the second time Thomas almost ate Molly. Does anyone else feel any weird shippiness potential?

*raises hand* The Thomas and Molly scene ended up being my favorite part of the whole book. And the shippiness potential is definitely there! Molly's motivation is really in character -- she has a history of making bad decisions trying to help people she can't help (that's how she ended up warlocking in the first place). Of course, Thomas/Justine is a great tragic love story, but another f-lister pointed out that we haven't been seeing Justine much, so the Thomas/Molly shippiness may even be intended as a real thing.

I thought the whole bringing back up Molly being into Harry in this book was weird and unnecessary. Especially, since

As you bring up, it seems to have no limitations back in time, and apparently just being the youngest Red Court vampire is enough to destroy all of them, without any stipulations on which vamp turned Susan and who turned them -- it's destroying an entire species rather than a single bloodline, it seems.

I thought the implication was that literally all Red Court Vampires actually descended from the same original vampire. But it still was sort of a wild sweep.
