Summary
"See, the thing is, it’s really all Karrin’s fault. If she wasn't so damn observant and didn't feel the need to constantly share her observations with certain selectively-unobservant wizards, the thought would never have crossed my mind...But of course, once it was there..."
In which Harry Dresden finally admits to himself that he wants Molly, only to find that things are way more complicated, confused and fucked up than he expected. So, you know, pretty much par for the course in his life.

Summary
"Well, that went..."
"Horrible. Catastrophically tits up in the most spectacular manner."Harry and Molly have finally started dating and everything is great! Well, except they haven't told most of their friends. Or her parents. Or their boss. Oh, and also the slew of dead bodies that keep cropping up with ties to both John Marcone and the Winter Court isn't ideal. Plus the whole 'Thanksgiving' thing. *shudder* Hmm. Okay. Maybe 'great' is a bit of an overstatement...

Summary
"How the hell did we get here?"
She laughed softly. "Same way we've wound up anywhere in life - love, and the crazy things we'll do for it."Now that Harry and Molly don't have to sneak around and stress about Mab or the Carpenters finding out they're together, they're ready to settle down into their new life. Of course for the two of them, that's easier said than done, especially when their missions don't go as planned, faerie secrets abound, tensions run high and the holiday season (already stressful enough for the average person) gets a hell of a lot more complicated.

Summary
For any other men out there (or I guess anyone dating a woman if you want to be PC about it) let me give you a word of advice: never, ever, ever, for any reason should you ever utter the phrase “You’re being crazy” to your girlfriend. I don’t care what she has said or done. I don’t care if she’s full-on Fatal Attraction, boiling your kid’s bunny, standing over you with a knife while you sleep, speaking in reverse in dead languages, babbling nonsense and rocking back and forth in a straight jacket, there are some words and phrases that you should just never say around a woman and “You’re being crazy” is one of those things. In fact, the crazier she is, the dumber it is to point it out. Case in point – one Molly Carpenter.
Spring has finally arrived, and Harry takes the whole family on vacation to celebrate. Of course, he's Harry, so no one can be too shocked if he has a few surprises up his sleeves (or in his pockets) right? Just like how no one is surprised when a "peaceful, diplomatic discussion" with The Fomor meets a less-than-peaceful end. Harry and Molly can survive almost anything, of course, but in the aftermath, they both start to wonder: Is the same true of their relationship?

Summary
“We’re so fucked.” Molly said with a content sigh, rolling over to lay on the floor next to me, sitting against the coffee table.
I laughed, because what else could I say? “Big time. I have no idea how we’re going to do any of this.” I found her hand and twined it with mine.
“We’ll find a way. It’s what we do, right?”
“You’re damn right it is.”Some major unexpected developments threaten to completely turn Harry and Molly's world upside down, and it's hard to say whether or not it will be for the better once it all settles. That is, if it all settles. When secrets, old and new, come to light it only complicates matters. Our duo is suddenly faced with a thousand questions and the only answers they have are dangerous ones. The biggest question: How do you make it to your happily ever after, when doing so might just be the end of reality as we know it?

Summary
"But now I come to you willingly. For a year, I listened to my heart and not my mind. I thought I’d found love. Now I realize, my heart actually gives pretty bad advice. Just about every bad thing that's ever happened to me has been because of some stupid thing I’ve done for love. So, I'm done fighting. You say Winter doesn’t love? Sign me up. I’m finally ready to bat for the winning team.”
“I see. I am to believe that you went from manic raving to loyal servant just like that? That you are suddenly fine with what has been done to you?”
“No.” My knuckles popped as my fists clenched tight. I gave her my honest answer. “I will never be fine with it. I cannot, will not, ever forgive this. No matter the reason, it was unacceptable.”Well, sure, everything has dissolved into chaos and Harry's stuck in the middle of fairy intrigue, uncertain of what's true or real or even what comes next. But impossible is just another word for him, right? Everyone else seems to think so. Yet as events unfold, Harry can't help thinking he's finally found an impossible problem that even quick thinking, will, and wit can't overcome. And he has no one to blame but himself.
