Worst Kick in the Gut Moments in the Series

(1/12) > >>

jeditigger:
We have the Favorite Moment of the Series thread, which I really adore, but a discussion earlier this week with Priscilla made me think more about the parts of the series that really got me emotionally from a "oh, poor so-and-so!" perspective. Mine are:


* Red Court vamps ripping off Harry's clothes and tormenting him at Bianca's in GP because he is so, so, so helpless;
* The Denarians subduing Ivy at the Shedd in SmF and the despair Harry and Kincaid suffer from it;
* Harry unleashing the bloodline curse at Chichen Itza (especially as read by James Marsters);
* And, of course, Tessa blowing a kiss at Harry before opening fire on Michael in SmF.
What else?

Snaps At Fireflies:
Harry watching Ivy laying in the Aquarium, groggy from knockout gas, and then seeing the girl get a canister of the gas to the mouth.  Watching her eyes open wide in shock and panic, then weakly try to escape, only to pass out at the hands of literal Hell's Angels.   It sucked from 2 angles,  Harry's for being forced to watch it and unable to do anything.  And mainly from the viewpoint of Ivy, helpless and at the mercy of beings she knows damn well have no mercy.

TheCuriousFan:
The scene where Harry was at his absolute lowest midway through Ghost Story, he even considered just dooming himself to oblivion by jumping into the river as a ghost for a bit without anyone getting into his head to make him that way.

Serack:
The first line of Changes.

Molly's trial right before Harry insists that the Gatekeeper gets a vote.

When you find out that the leader of the Ordo Lebres (forget her name) had been killed.

When Charmicael dies (Followed immediately afterwords by one of the series biggest smackdowns when the Loup Garu gets fire blasted through 2 buildings)

When the troll changeling dies in SK.  (so bad with names)

Not kick in the gut emotional, but probably the most emotional scene in the series for me is:  The soul gaze scene with Thomas.

Ziggelly:
Thomas near the end of Turn Coat.
The dead kids at Camp Kaboom.
Shiro.
Michael getting shot.

Oh, and because they were two of the first things about the series to really make me sad:
Linda Randall dying. The scene at the kitchen table with Monica Sells.
