I guess that it could go to other relatives.  Still, do you think that Jim will suddenly throw in some other unknown relative that we have never seen before or do you think that we will get a kid by Tera?  I think that we also have a WOJ saying that she is going to reappear so I am going to have to be given a VERY convincing argument if someone believes that this is not the case. 

Now, why do people think that Fitz is their kid? 
Sam will kill him if he tries anything.

Quote
"MacFinn is a member of an ancient family line from an island known as Ireland. His family has a notable history. Sometime in the murky past, legend would have it, the man known as Saint Patrick cursed his ancestor to become a ravening beast at every full moon. The curse came with two addenda. First, that it would be hereditary, passing down to someone new each and every generation. And second, that the cursed line of the family would never, ever die out, lasting until the end of days."

Those words there are the get-out clause for everything after them to be a pack of lies, which passes right over Harry's head; Chauncey can be telling the exact literal truth about what some legend at some point said about MacFinn's family without it having any grounding in reality at all.  So I don't think we have any reason to expect to see another MacFinn in the series.

Mildly OCD. Please do not troll.

kittensgame, Sandcastle Builder, Homestuck, Welcome to Night Vale, Civ III, lots of print genre SF, and old-school SATT gaming if I had the time.  Also Pandemic Legacy is the best game ever.

How would it benefit Chauncy to lie? He needed Harry to trust him so he could sucker Harry into giving up his Name.

That said, unless Fitz is Macfinn and Tera's kid, we probably won't see another Macfinn in the series.

We are now beginning Cold Days questions.

How does He Who Walks Before's split into dozens of copies spell work?

Also, Quantus, Serack, you mind if I hijack your posts back on page one so that I can clump all the questions together in one go rather than simply putting links in the bottom of them or making people read through all the pages?

Can a White Court vampire feed on Harry?  On Murphy?

Even if they were, they'd have to have sex first for the protection to take effect.

Not really.

Q:  Do you have to have sex in order to have protection from the White Court?
A:  No, you don’t have to.  It is helpful, though.

thanks, TDF, I was looking for that quote.  and I think it may speak to why the Mantle doesn't react to her the same as it did for Molly/Maeve/Andi/Sarissa...

Go for it, this one's your baby.

BTW, I think I said it earlier, but you might want to try to find a way to integrate AA's Q&A suggestion box thread that was created when this one first got locked.

Is there a difference in the way the Mantle of the Faerie Queens and the Faerie Knights pass on?

Sure, any idea how to go about doing that?
