The Answer(hopefully) to Who Fixed Little Chicago (FULL SPOILERS)
BlahBlah:
I have also suggested that Mab fixed LC:
"Mab would probably have the means to recognize the problem in LC. Mab was motived to protect her future knight because she had assumed Lea's responsibilities in PG. Finally, Mab had the opportunity to enter and exit Harry's apartment from the NN through Lea's garden."
The only other possibilities imo is Lash working with Id-Harry, else that Harry knew and helped it get fixed but suffered one of his peculiar blackouts and can't remember it. Neither is nearly as plausible as Mab.
Great minds think alike AA!
tinygargoyle:
I have two theories about this.
1) LC == Chicago proper, so it's possible that something happened in Chicago that affected it.
2) As Harry had put so much juice into it and effort in maintaining it, it has a ghost of it's own. lash, Bob and many others have mentioned that to see things outside of the flow in time he has to die. Now ghost Harry interacts with ghost LC now and this affects LC then.

A continent, Chicago ain't. LC =/= Alera by any stretch.
If Harry decides to recreate it on a grander scale, however, then all bets are off.
He has a gift for this ind of work, ala Bob. And he has the workers to bring him the necessary ingredients, ala Wee Folk. And he has the experience, ala LC.
Little World, anyone? Purely speculation, alas.
X:
So I have had this thought festering in my head for the past little while, and while I doubt this theory, it gives us a discussion while we wait for Ghost Story. Now among all the beings we know of with interest in Harry, we need to think of those with both the ability and desire to prevent Harry from frying his brain. Of those, I submit the following:
Mab
Lasciel
Uriel
Ivy/The Archive
Okay, the easiest to eliminate from these beings is Uriel, because he is only allowed to interfere so much, and he gave Harry the ability to use Soulfire (presumably). If he did or did not is a discussion for another thread. So, strike Riel from the list of suspects.
The next suspect that I can eliminate us Ivy/ The Archive. Why would Ivy wan to help Harry? Affection, knowledge of him being needed in the future? Who knows. The ability to fix it would require an insane amount of power, which she has. The reason for that is that she is completely neutral, and an arbiter of The Accords. Thus, evn though Ivy would have the desire to help Harry, The Archive can presumably override Ivy, thus the suspect is eliminated.
Now I will try to eliminate Mab. The reason why I doubt that Mab would fix it is not because of her desire to have Harry as her Knight, but rather why would she? She is Mab, to her, a simple human is nothing, and she could easily allow Harry to blow up his mind, fix him, then say he owes her. Thus, it stands to reason that she could potentially benefit from Harry blowing up his mind.
Finally, that leaves Lasciel. This immortal being was bound in Harry's basement, less than ten feet from Little Chicago. I realize that she was bound within several circles, but she is a Denerian, and if there is any being in the Dresdenverese that is allowed to cheat, it would be one of them. This gives her the opportunity, and finally, the motive would be that a Fallen Angel must be voluntarily accepted by the mortal soul. If Harry cannot function or freely make the choice choice. If Harry is brain dead, then Lasciel can't take him over, furthermore, his death means that she is trapped for a pretty long time in the subbasement of a paranoid wizard with some pretty heavy wards protecting it.
Thoughts?

Well, if Harry had killed himself using a flawed model, he wouldn't have been useful to Mab. And don't forget that while Lea was encased in ice, Mab had to fulfill her obligations.
