Dresden tries to protect a runaway little girl, Faith Astor, from various dangers while escorting her to safety. Takes place before Storm Front. "Publicity and Advertising" (listed as "Vignette" in Side Jobs and the website. Originally written as a rather self-referential ad for the series, to be distributed at conventions.) Dresden and Bob talk about possible strategies for advertising Dresden's work. Takes place between Death Masks and Blood Rites. "Something Borrowed" (originally published in My Big Fat Supernatural Wedding) When Jenny Greenteeth abducts Georgia and plots to kill Billy, Dresden and Murphy must hurry to save the day. Takes place between Dead Beat and Proven Guilty. "It's My Birthday, Too" (originally published in Many Bloody Returns) Dresden, Thomas, and Molly must protect a group of LARPers from a powerful Black Court vampire and her coterie. Takes place between White Night and Small Favor. "Heorot" (originally published in My Big Fat Supernatural Honeymoon) Dresden and Sigrun Gard struggle to save an innocent woman from the monstrous Grendelkin that has abducted her. Takes place between White Night and Small Favor. "Day Off" (originally published in Blood Lite) Dresden plans to spend a day off with his girlfriend Luccio, but when Molly, Andi, and Kirby invite themselves over, his day quickly becomes a lot more complicated. Takes place between Small Favor and Turn Coat. "Backup" (originally published by itself) Thomas works to stop the evil followers of a dark, forgotten god before they can trick Dresden into spreading the god's influence throughout the whole world. Takes place between Small Favor and Turn Coat. "The Warrior" (originally published in Mean Streets) A rogue priest takes extreme measures in order to recover Dresden's Swords of the Cross, forcing Dresden and Michael to stop him before he kills somebody. Takes place between Small Favor and Turn Coat, and before "Last Call". "Last Call" (originally published in Strange Brew) Dresden and Murphy investigate a bar fight at Mac's and uncover a dark plan involving tainted beer and a semi-divine handmaiden of the deity Dionysius. Takes place between Small Favor and Turn Coat. "Love Hurts" (originally published in Songs of Love and Death) A Red Court attempt to synthesize artificial love draws the attention of Dresden and Murphy when several of the Court's test subjects commit suicide. Takes place between Turn Coat and Changes. "Aftermath" (originally published in Side Jobs) Still reeling in the wake of Dresden's apparent death, Murphy must rush back into action to stop a monstrous plot by the Fomor. Takes place immediately after Changes.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })This collection features the first stories in which characters besides Dresden act as the narrator; Harry's half-brother Thomas narrates "Backup", and his close friend Murphy narrates "Aftermath". | |
