Holmes let out a short laugh. “I am no great coachman, but even I can say with confidence that the dog-cart is not designed for such speeds as we reached last night. Well, never mind; the evidence was secured, Colonel Jameson was brought into custody, and I have every confidence that the police will make their case against him, thanks in great part to his own wife. I tell you, Watson, if half my clients exhibited such decisive curiosity as Marjorie Jameson, my job would be vastly simpler, and you would have far less to occupy your pen.”

A wizard's car can't be a normal car; it handles magic and faith, it gets battered around by creatures from humanity's nightmares-- and over time, it gets a spirit of its own. Something survived when they blew up the Blue Beetle, something that's still going to haul Harry out of trouble, no matter what shape it takes.

"I mean really," Beckett's voice carried, ringing with good-natured complaint as she grinned back at her fellow cop. "Could my life be any more of a B movie?"

Written for the AU Big Bang 2011:

It's Christmas, and Harry has a lot he'd like to celebrate; a new relationship, a new Carpenter, and a respite in the White Court mobwar that grips Chicago. The last thing he wants is an eleventh-hour kidnapping case dropped into his lap--but he'd better solve this one fast. If he doesn't, it will ruin Christmas... and it might just be the end of the world.

“Because,” Dresden said, “you’re going to bring me back.” He hesitated, looking somewhat sour. “You’re the only one who can, apparently.”
No purposeful Ghost Story spoilers

Marcone settled a knee between mine, insinuating herself like a snake. Into my space, into my life, into my head, and now into my freaking pants. Sometimes I swear it might have been easier to agree to be her pet wizardess all those years ago. Maybe she would have been satisfied with a little piece of me, instead of demanding everything.

. . . Nah.

Evil AU. Where all the good guys are bad and the bad guys are good for the most part, and inhuman monsters are still monsters. In this ‘verse, Evil Harry sees Marcone’s soul and really wants to make him his.

For the prompt: Dresden Files, Michael Carpenter post Small Favor, "Get away from my children."

Susan made a different choice, years ago. Harry Dresden vanishes from Chicago. Somewhere else, somewhere secret, a wizard learns to be a father.

Years later, someone from Harry's old life manages to track him down and finds him with the daughter he's worked so hard to keep unknown and safe.
[AU, Gen fic, warning for character death ]

In which Harriet Dresden, (call her Harry) takes the Archive shopping for bras, with a slight detour for ice cream.

Harry Dresden / Carlos Ramirez

John Benedict (aka Johnny Marcone) is ComputerCottage's newest service technician. Harry Dresden is his most challenging customer.

Harry Dresden's first semester as an assistant professor of religious studies comes with its own unique challenges. Like dealing with Doctors Marcone and Vargassi of the philosophy department.

The Bookman and Gentleman Johnny meet in person at last. And Raymond Vecchio has the start of a very bad day.

There are just some things you really don't want to know about your brother. Definitely some things you don't want to see. Ever.

So perhaps I can be forgiven for walking into a scheduled meeting with Ramirez and assuming the worst when I spotted a man with greenish-pale skin bending over his sprawled body.

Kincaid hopes that whatever the Archive contacted him for, it's something the council has to deal with. That way, he wouldn't have to babysit a teenager. Oh, the irony.

"Hey, I just realized!" Bob said. "You're like a country song: you lost your house, you lost your car, you lost your job, and now you've lost your dick!"

When cynical wizard John Constantine is flung from his universe to Harry Dresden's in an attempt to prevent his interfering with Titania's plans, it's up to both of them to foil her and her allies in both universes, save an assortment of innocents from Hell and rescue a certain crime lord who's caught in the middle...while Harry deals with revelations about his family that he'd never even imagined.

PWP: Bob looks good in bad clothes.

[Hendricks/Bob the skull]
Bob isn't much of a house guest, but he does all right as a business partner.

First the world ended, then they survived.

Harry works things out, with a little help from Murphy, Thomas, and a gangster with irritating facial hair.

Harry saves the world (well, Chicago, anyway) and as usual isn't thanked for it. Instead, he gets to spend the evening in undesirable company.

Three years ago, Tony Vargassi died and left his flourishing criminal empire to his son Marco. Gang violence is rife in the streets, but Harry Dresden's concluded, reluctantly, that it isn't his kind of problem. He's about to find out that the real power behind Chicago's throne is a lot worse then a spoiled mobster's son -- and maybe more than he can handle.

John 'Johnny' Marcone is a mechanic with a bad limp and a bad history with Vargassi. He doesn't want to get back into the business of the Business; he barely escaped with his life before. But in Harry Dresden he sees enough raw power to save the city he loves. Will he risk it all to back his crazy friend against the powers that be?

And can Harry and his car survive what Chicago has in store for him, even with a full-time mechanic?

It isn't that I mind seeing Sherlock Holmes in my office doorway, precisely.

A mafioso needs to double-check his facts.
Following an AU version of Fool Moon

Harry tries to keep his relationship with Bob casual and based on sex, because Bob doesn't want to deal with his sappy emotions. Obviously. [sequal to Strange Devices]

(The prompt was "what might have been", and I was writing this as an alternate ending to the cavern scene in "White Night". But then I realized that this idea really works best if it happens after that, so I pretty much just recreated that scene. Then I realized this wasn't a "what might have been" anymore, but a future fic instead. )

She loves the feel of crayons, warm paper in her small hands, the bright colours, the smell of wax, which is slightly different for each one. She can name specifically every colour of every crayon every created.[Ivy-centric]

Harry leaves a certain skull lying around. Of course, someone stumbles on it (not quite literally).

Johnny glanced down nervously at the exhibition program in his hand: Paranormal Phenomena in the 19th Century: Mediums, Spiritualists, and Psychics.

It's one thing to decide you're not going to hide your relationship. It's another to convince your friends, family, and associates that you're serious.

[other two segments are under the tag "for ryuutchi"]

In which Hendricks does something harder than fighting monsters, and communication is established. [ Hendricks/Gard]

Marcone has been hit with a ‘fuck or die’ curse. Only it has a nasty twist.

Sometimes Marcone wonders just why he was permitted to see Harry Dresden's soul twice.

Harry Dresden is a ghost with several problems—a vengeful necromancer, a missing corpse, a human sacrifice, a dark ritual and an enslaved spirit who's caught in the middle. Takes place post-Season 1/ post-Grave Peril.

Faithful readers of these accounts of my adventures with Holmes will not be surprised, I dare say, to learn that it was not often that I was able to gain the better of my friend.

"One of the most attractive things about the flowers is their beautiful reserve. The truly beautiful and noble puts its lover, as it were, at an infinite distance, while it attends him more strongly than ever." -- Henry David Thoreau
