What have Harry's friends endured? [SPOILERS for all books & short stories]

<< < (6/7) > >>

Serack:
Thanks for pointing this out in the trailer topic xakko.

I've got two suggestions for the topic.

One is to add list code to the lists (this will add bullets, not terribly important but it looks nice)
The other is to possibly put things in chronological order (a taller order imo, but more significant)

Also, do you have any problems with the curators making any additions to your post or do you wish to take the lead?

not at all... it's a reference thread, not an ego trip.  :)

ClintACK:
To Murphy, I'd add a bunch of personal issues that hurt her more than mere physical injuries.
- Seeing her second husband marry her kid sister.  (Effectively "I'd love you -- if you were younger and less you") (BR)
- Feelings of failure associated with not taking over her mother's matriarchal role in the family. (BR)
- Finally opening up to a relationship with Harry, getting all dressed up for their date, showing up and finding his blood and a bullet hole.  (Shades of Angelus's gift to Giles...) (Ch)

To Charity, I'd add a bunch of things that happened to her kids, but most especially Molly in PG -- Molly inherited the power from Charity, and Charity would blame herself for Molly keeping the magic a secret, and nearly getting her head chopped off.  This is probably the single worst thing that ever happened to her.

To Susan...
- Sifting through body parts of ripped up children, putting them back together to learn if any of them were her daughter -- all the while dealing with the lust to suck the blood from the pieces.
- Maggie kidnapped by the Red Court, to be sacrificed.
- Martin's breathtaking betrayal -- possibly the closest relationship of her life.  Ten years as partners in the Fellowship, and he gave her daughter to the Red Court.  And, no, the betrayal wasn't fake.  He *really* betrayed her, even though it was part of a betrayal of the Red King as well.

And if you're going to list one-shot characters like Kim Delaney and Meryl, Lydia probably deserves an entry.
Lydia:

* Cassandra's Tears -- it's already a curse, knowing the future and not being able to get anyone to believe you.
* Specific dreams about the Nightmare coming for her
* Hiding in the Church while the Nightmare rages outside
* Kidnapped by vampires
* Almost sacrificed to desecrate the Sword
* Possessed by Nightmare
Maybe Harley MacFinn as well.
- Loup Garou curse.
- Destruction of his circle -- guilt over the deaths, especially Kim's.
- Killed by Harry.

And Helen Beckitt/Demeter

For Thomas, I'd throw in his backstory -- his Father has been trying to kill him for years, he's a psychic vampire in love, and the single worst thing that happened to him: he ate Justine, and thought he'd killed her.

Rawlins -- add that he got exiled to SI after the events of PG.

To Ivy, I'd add the backstory -- it's an incredibly painful childhood trauma.

To Carlos and to Luccio I'd add Cristos having them "arrested/detained" during Changes.

Mister had his home burned down!

Mrs. Spunkelcrief had her home burned down.

The Willoughbys had their home burned down.

Abby got shot in the belly [GS] (Ack.  Did she die?  Search doesn't show any mention of her beyond "They don't know if she's going to live or die.")
