Notes:
(1) "Everything that followed had tainted those memories, but for one moment I saw [Bill] clearly, and I loved him again."
- FFS, finally! Took her long enough. How many times does a guy have to save a girl from certain death before she forgives him?!
(2) In sum: this is a lot of telling and very little showing.
- Most of the action happens off-screen, and for all the fairy talk and hubbub, they barely appear.

(1) "While I could, I smiled at Thing One and Thing Two."
- What a coincidence, I just read "The Cat in the Hat"! Though I'd understand the reference regardless.
(2) The thing about fairies is... you can't really take them seriously—they're fairies!
- You automatically get mental images of Tinkerbell, the Tooth Fairy, and other such winged and diminutive waifs.
- It's like trying to take a butterfly seriously.

Notes:
(1) This might be a good time to bring up that there have been two titular lines so far. So, they're back!
- I didn't mention them before because, frankly, I had better things to say.
(2) "I'm not used to seeing people get shot … Which was mostly true"
- Yeah, she's more so used to seeing people staked.
- The notable exceptions being when she does the shooting… though I guess it's possible she closes her eyes.

(1) "I don't think I would have been so ready to have sex with you tonight if we didn't have a blood bond, because … I don't know what's real and what's not."
- Yeah, that's the problem when your blood is essentially a love potion or, more accurately, really potent beer goggles.
- I mean, is this a type of sexual coercion, assault or drugging? "I don't know what's real and what's not" makes it all super-iffy.

(1) "I think it was a hate crime. But I don't know if it was personal hate, because Crystal was a slut... or racial hate, because she was a werepanther."
- Okay, this is just stupid. While hate crimes can be personal, they're based on immutable characteristics. "Slut" isn't immutable, it's a choice.
- Also, being a werepanther isn't racial, it's more akin to hating people with genetic conditions like dwarfism.
