Dresden Files: Series Timeline

[Priscellie]

This might be in here already (23 pages + lazy me = no research:

that puts them at 13-15 years apart in the timeline but The Warrior has this line:

"Charity answered the door when I knocked, She was of an age with Michael...."
That might insinuate that Charity and Michael are closer then 13 years apart in age. It's not much help, but it's something?

Huh.  That makes no sense to me.  In "Grave Peril," Michael was in his mid-forties, and Molly was twelve.  Therefore, he would have been in his early thirties when she was born.  Also, Word of Jim indicates Michael and Charity wasted no time getting hitched and starting the Carpenter family dynasty.  Yet I can't imagine Charity being in her early thirties when she was rescued from the dragon, giving her some fifteen years of magical experience.  I find it a lot likelier that she was in her early twenties, for around a ten year age difference.  She would still have ten years on Harry, so it might be easier for him to mentally categorize Michael and Charity as being in the same age range.  Hmm.

I would query whether this is solid enough to go in the timeline, on the grounds that unless someone has info from Jim specifically, we do not know that

(click to show/hide)

the conception happened during DM, rather than within the couple of weeks before GP.  Nor do we know that the child is in fact Harry's, just that Susan will present her as such, which could allow for a little more flex either way.

I phrased it "

Assuming Susan's story is true, Harry's daughter is born.

"  I find the DM option much likelier than the GP option, from a reader's point of view.  And if the book contradicts it, I'll change it!

That's the fun thing with the edit button. But I'm not sure it doesn't happen

(click to show/hide)

during the one year break in between stories. Harry could of reached out to Susan during that 'unknown' period and done the deed then. The child could be only a few months old for all we knew, which would change the timeline. But, it's neither here nor there until the Publishes pop out the first printings.

No, it's not actually. We know he hasn't seen Susan between GP and DM. IIRC its mentioned at the beginning of DM.

Meh.  That's such an outside chance, I'm not worried about it.

Hah, found what i was looking for.

DM Paperback p.7
I still kept trying to find a way to remove her affliction, but I'd received only a card and a postcard or three from her since she'd left.

I conclude that he hasn't seen her.

Also, we know for a fact that he hasn't seen her between GP and SK
SK:
I read her syndicated column in the Arcane. She must have been mailing them in to her editor, so at least I knew she was alive. She'd asked me not to follow her and I hadn't.

And if the conception had taken place between SK and DM, well... Susan would have been pregnant in DM.

Last possibility is that she was

(click to show/hide)

pregnant

when she left after GP. wich is highly unlikely.
I just don't think she could/would have kept that from him when she saw him in DM.

I think it's very likely she would have, but come argue about this in a more appropriate thread ?

[Priscellie]

Yeah.  No more discussion about the opening to #12 in this thread.  I'm confident in my decision.

*chanting softly* She knows something we don't know

Sorry I know you said the end but I just couldn't help myself

[Milehighfan]

Not to change the tack of the conversation but according to this time line Mister is a least 13 (that's how long Harry has had him) and still VERY spry.  Either some of Harry's magic longevity is rubbing off or like Mouse he's no ordinary pet.  Given how Mouse defers to him I wonder what's the deal.  Although the Za Lord Guard say they have to defend the brownies from him so maybe he's normal and important character pet live a long time in DV.

Of course she does. The title of Goddess is not just honorary

Mister is actually God in disguise, keeping an eye on Harry 

But seriously, Ive known cats that lived past 20, though Ill admit that they lost their spryness long before that.
