*chortles* Murphy is made of awesome! I love that it was her and the SWAT team that took out the big snake thing. In shows--and, therefore, often in fandoms--in which there's a secret magical world, the ordinary world law enforcement often come across as blind, stupid, or both. I'd say it's a function of the genre, but fan fiction authors (like you!) can write them being competent and intelligent, so I don't understand why the show writers can't. *g*
I was deeply amused by Murphy playing Bob's role in Harry's spell brainstorming and construction after Bob was taken. :-D And this part:
"He's more than eight hundred years old, Murph," I said gently. "I don't think you're going to find the killer."
She blinked once. And then she got her game face back. "Murder doesn't have a statute of limitations."
:-D :-D :-D Best comeback ever!
The rest of that scene...I think I like your Murphy better than canonical TV Murphy. Your Murphy is mostly the same, but I think TV!Murphy wouldn't have wanted to know about Harry's world. The scene in the show in which she essentially says that she'd rather be blind to it...I lost a lot of respect for TV!Murphy there. Your Murphy has more guts and more flexible mind--she's kind of a blend of TV and Book Murphy, in my brain.
Evil!Harry is way too much fun. *g*
And you totally blew me away with the ending! Coporeal!Bob! Ancient Mai! Mysterious sword! Mysterious deal! I love the complexity of this story.
