"And then Murphy burst in and ripped off her top....." Isn't that how it starts? Something about Bob in a menage et toi?

"And then, Lara Raith strode in, masterfully taking charge of the situation by grabbing Murphy in one hand, Bob in the other..."
Infamous as Elle!:
Ah ha ha!
I can totally see Bob doing that. A gift for Harry, since Bob thinks he has an appallingly dismal love life.
Does Bob write pervy Mary Sue Fan-fics? Someone should really ask Jim that next time on tour.

I know a lot of teenagers who've started dabbling in witchcraft/Wicca can get a bit pushy in sharing their new belief system, up to and including writing fanfiction set in fantasy worlds, where they convert all the magically talented characters to Wicca (much as pushy Christians will convert their favorite characters, up to and including villains/antagonists). I've seen it done with Harry Potter and the movie version of John Constantine, and even introducing it to Middle Earth (!). No doubt some teenybopper who's read Silver Ravenwolf's "Teen Witch" a few times too many would do the same to Harry Dresden. Despite his staunch self-identifying as "theological Switzerland" and the bit in Death Masks when Father Forthill asks him if he's ever going to convert from Paganism, and he replies something to the effect that he isn't Pagan, so he doesn't have to.

Until he knows me better, that would more politely be a menage et vous.
I think Bob pretty much does this in "Something Borrowed", fwiw, with the assumptuions he makes when he wakes up in strange places.

And though i know exactly what Harry means by that, every time I read it I still think of Calvinists first and neutrality later.

There's a kind of mild blurring there between the Catholic tendency to refer to all non-Christians/Jews as pagans, and the way some Wiccans claim "Pagan" as basically meaning Wicca, which I find a bot bothersome because it's disrespectful to Classical pagans, Asatru, and other flavours of contemporary self-identified pagan.
