Warning for mention of assault.
Hrm, I think I worded that wrongly and made him sound too condescending. From what I understand it was a not-much-effort-put-into-it bit, period, which is still kind of eyebrow-arching but whatever. I liked it well enough as fun fluff and enjoy the fic more, but yeah, stopped at about three and a half books in, and I'm still side-eyeing Butcher for a few things in there.

(I have to say, though, that there's been some fascinating meta discussion on sexuality and Dresden's characterization, especially since sexual assault of the Very Male and Heterosexual Hero (Look How Straight I Am, Are You Looking Yet) is canon on more than one occasion. It's even been mentioned by other characters once or twice how his skill at denial and repression is practically a magic power in itself.)
