Passion has helped souls rise from the ashes of their horrible lives and build something better, stronger, more beautiful.

Thomas has the kind of whiter-than-white boyish grin that makes women's panties spontaneously evaporate.
Jim Butcher
Image
Santa is a much bigger and more powerful faery than Toot, and I don't know his true name anyway. You'd never see me trying to nab Saint Nick in a magic circle even if I did. I don't think anyone has stones that big.
