White court vampires do not feed on love, they feed on lust. In real life lust is part of love, love is just more complete, but in romantic tales they are opposing forces the one noble and high and the other base and profane and so on. It makes sense that romantic love for your true partner defeats the base lust for the vampire.
The vampire stands for adultery and romantic love stops you from doing it.

I think we're talking passed each other as this doesn't answer anything I asked and answers questions I didn't ask and already knew the DF answers to. :P Need me to reword my previous post?

We might have lost each other somewhere.
I think the white court vulnerability to real love, for those that feed on lust that is, is much like the black courts vulnerability to holy symbols. It is part of their story and nothing else. It is there because humans believe it should be there and all supernaturals depend on human stories to express themselves in the real world, the reason Mab values that Grimm book so much. If there is another logic to it than that logic just strengthens the story. That is my take on both the why and the how.

*apparently that's not what you said then?

I think the logic here would be that if she were in the process of feeding, and thus had lowered her defenses (or activated her Hunger, if you prefer) then she'd become vulnerable to the Ring during that window.
Cant speak to why she was unable to heal the Ring Scar but able to heal the True Love burned lips from Harry.

Lips heal fast and scar little, the wounds are painful though.

Simple and direct answer, I like it. Does that work when we're talking about supernatural healing? I guess if the Catch is inhibiting their supernatural healing the normal human-side healing might still maintain it's patterns and relative capabilities.
