thank you for deciding to continue this.

While this would probably not really fit the story, I can't help but think about the fact that Incinerate Anthem, a fire-type Longinus, can jump hosts of its own volition. Sacred Gears are called Longinus-class if they could theoretically allow a mortal human to kill a god. Harry Dresden makes a habit of punching way above his weight class and taking down opponents that are supposedly way out of his league.

He is also prone to solving problems with FIRE.

Again, I'd be surprised to actually see it happen (outside of maybe a brief thing), but I just keep thinking, "What if Incinerate Anthem decided it liked Harry?".

Awww, I love you.

And Harry has new staff

Magical research and fluffy character interactions. Sweet chapter and an even sweeter Reya moment in the end. Looking forward to the next chapter!

Perry!

I've always enjoyed the way your write the magic experimentation scenes for this story. And this chapter is no different, from the construction of Harry's Warstaff to the cast working through Circe's counterspell, all of it was fun and interesting to read. And HO BOY Reya sure does know how to play her cards right, I'm glad to see that she's getting a chance to shine too now as well.

Keep up the good work and update as you're able!

Hell yes, a new chapter at last!

Happy to see a fuller return of the magical workshop aspect to the story. Reading about the building process of Harry's new staff made me realize I missed it more than I realized, both here and in the Dresden Files books.

I would like to say more, but it is quite late at night in my timezone. I'll keeping tabs on "Beyond the Outer Gates Lies… Bliss?" for the scene's continuation.

Thanks a lot for the update!

This was a fun and sweet chapter in equal measure. I might just reread the whole story once I finish the other stories that have updated on me today

Hype.

Glad to see you're getting back into the groove, keep up the good work and don't let the details trip you up too much.

IT LIVES!

Harry is now using the preptime he got.
Next time the Zeroes appear he will Batman them into despair.

Hot secretary Reya and cute bruiser Tsubasa.
Harry just got the components for a proper PI TV-show together. Azrael will find out sooner or later and be INSPIRED for the next season of Harry's in-universe TV-show-expy.

oo9oo9

I just hope that the zeroes get finally killed off. Like Kendra said, they've really gone too far, and while I never read what happened to them in canon, right now they're just too hypocritical for me to bear with them anymore.

The mind control thing is a big part of it, and I think that an end fitting for the asshole leader is the classic one where the control wears off and he's torn apart by the very people whose minds he violated.

Didn’t Harry already have the conversation with Lasciel about her sibling? And they had a different name?

Good to see you back. Thanks for the chapter. Continue you re good work

Lmao. Gottem.
