DF Spoilers / Re: What is Lara's problem? [PT Spoilers!]
« on: July 21, 2020, 09:07:55 PM »
What if it was a good way for Laura to learn what he can do while on the island now? There's probably not many that know. Could just be old fashioned rage regarding family. That's been in Turn Coat with her sisters. And the Puck comic book.
Probably a little column A, little column B.

The Journal micro-fiction supports that idea.

Morgan actually states that they couldn't be sure Dresden wasn't a creature of Nemesis after Justin had him. He regretted trying to push Harry to the brink to reveal it, but the other option of doing nothing as a Destroyer was born in their midst just couldn't be sat on.

It's like the council knows that Harry could be a very good thing, or a very bad thing, but that any attempts to mess with it at this point either: 1) won't work; 2) could tip off Nemesis and make it worse; or 3) wouldn't help. 

Not much to do if that's the case. Just hang in there and watch until the plot furthers.

DF Spoilers / Re: Storm Front in Peace Talks...

There's also that bit from Grave Peril: Lydia, the Cassadra's Tears gifted cult member/victim of Kravos.

"Fire," she whispered. "Wind. I see dark things and a dark war. I see my death coming for me, out of the spirit world. And I see you at the middle of it all. You're the beginning, the end of it. You're the one who can make the path go different ways."

We assume that's fulfilled by the end scene in Grave Peril. What if it's not? Dark war. What if it's about what the books are rapidly approaching?

Oooo, I almost forgot: There's the dreams all pregnant women have in Changes. I'd have to check, but isn't it the same imagery?

I'm proposing that the slip up of Dresden mentioning in Peace Talks that he's only been in the BFS while dead is not a mistake, it's a clue.

In Skin Game, Molly and Dresden go to the BFS. Dresden specifically mentions how he unnerves the guard with his ghost knowledge of the facility. It's half of a chapter at the end of the book. Not likely to be forgotten by Jim. No way the betas missed it either. That means Dresden doesn't remember the Skin Game visit.

So, what happened at the Skin Game visit. Dresden and Molly confronted Marcone and Mab, who was in her judgement aspect. Why? If Marcone and Mab were in cahoots why be in judgment form? After Harry and Molly mollify (pun intended) Marcone through the wereguild, Mab does the following: "But, she [Mab] regarded me with a look of displeasure that promised me a reckoning later. Molly got the same glare."

What was the reckoning? Why doesn't Harry remember that confrontation? I'm speculating that Mab altered his memory, again. She did it before in Small Favor with his memory of fire, which was a very deep set of memories. She must have done it fast too during their meeting in the street.

This seems to fit with the book Peace Talks. The whole book feels just a bit...off. Can't put my finger on why. It's like we are missing a scene or two. My vote is that Mab and Marcone are up to something. The whole Peace Talks are their idea/host. Dresden was likely either involved with their plan or would do something against Mab's interest if his memories weren't taken. If I had to speculate further, the whole services to Lara and rescue of Thomas was likely completed expected or planned by Mab and known by Marcone. And Mab likely was very aware of the last Titan. They likely have a history and this whole mess was part of her plan to likely clear out earth conflicts to focus on the upcoming outsider problem. It's like she (and Odin) are checking off a list.

It might explain a few things too, like the conjuritis (and not-supposed-to-happen) ache through the winter mantle. I would wager they are related to some stuff that was wiped. Could also explain why after buying off Marcone someone is still putting police pressure on Harry and Karin. And, I hate to say it, but after reading "Love Hurts" in Side Jobs, doesn't Karin and Harry's new love relationship seem just a bit..odd. Believable, but odd.

Something's up. What do you all think?

I don't think the loss of Dresden's memory of visiting the BFS while alive in Skin Game is a mistake.
Molly and Dresden visit it rather clearly in Skin Game. It's half a chapter. Dresden specifically mentions that it freaks the guard out they he knew were to go because he'd been there when dead.

Dresden and Molly go in, and what do they find, Mab. In her judgment aspect. Why is she in that aspect with Marcone? What were they discussing?
And when Dresden and Molly intercede, Jim writes this "But she [Mab] regarded me with a look of displeasure that promised me a reckoning later. Molly got the same glare."

Mab's messed with Harry's memory before (Small Favor). And if she messed with Molly's who would tell Harry that it happened (like she confirmed in Small Favor)? It also somewhat explains the Wardens' behavior now. They feel he's been compromised, but can't confirm due to Laws. Maybe he feels not right. It could also explain the cops (as speculated by Dresden that someone is pushing Rudolph). Why? Didn't Marcone take care of that as mentioned in Skin Game? 

Something happened. And Harry doesn't remember. Could be why the Karin thing is a bit...rushed? It feels 1 point out of 100 off. Not hugely off, but a small bit off.

AND, that would explain why so many things in Peace Talks feel...different. Off some how. Something else is going on. Marcone hosting the talks. Mab discussing things with him. There's a plan. It just doesn't feel like this Titian thing is a full surprise. There's another game going here. And I bet Marcone and Mab are behind a big-time plan behind it. Dresden's memory got in the way. Too risky for him to know for his own good. Sort of like when Mab took his memory of fire.

Also, there's something else to consider about Genosowka/Blood. Yeah, shapeshifter. Yeah coin. But if he died in the Underworld, what if Hades sent him back under a Geas as his punishment.
