What a quote!
May I redirect this conversation toward this thread? ;)

--- Quote from: Cenphx on December 03, 2012, 10:39:47 PM ---@Second Aristh--your earlier post made me want to read the scene from SmF again. There's one line you left out which seems like its foreshadowing the next book and might be referencing nemesis. After Nicodemus asks Harry if he is sure Hellfire was used at Arctis Tor, Nic starts this exchange: " 'Interesting. Then the only question is if the contamination is among the standing members of our Order or...' He let the thought trail off and glanced at me, lifting an eyebrow. I followed the logic to the only other people in possession of any of the coins. 'Someone in the church,' I whispered, with a sick feeling in my stomach.". Then Nic taunts Harry that they may shortly be on the same side...

--- Quote from: Serack on April 16, 2012, 01:33:06 PM ---Here is a post I made last year that covers very similar things to yours.
So through the course of the series, during the narrative, Harry has mentioned (insert rediculiously stupid thing to do "A"), and later in the series he inevitably ends up doing "A" or some derivative thereof.
I thought I'd like to make a list of these "Premonitions" that have happened through the course of the story, and try to come up with another list of potential things that might be premonitions of things that will happen later.
Fufilled premonitions
* SF: Santa is a pretty powerful fae, summoning him and trapping him in a circle would take some pretty big brass ones*
DB: Harry summons the Erlking, the Summer counterpart to Winter's Santa, and traps him in a circle
* GP: (Susan, when Harry had trouble saying "I love you") "I'm going to get you to start talking if it kills you."
GP: Harry brings Susan back from Half Rampire bloodlust and brakes Lea's memory stealing spell by saying "I love you" and within minutes dies and has to be necessitated by Susan.
* GP: "So would killing every vampire on the planet. What's your point?"
Changes: Well, you know
* SK: Harry sees Ebenezer enter White Council politics to save his former apprentice's neck and thinks it's a bad move on Eb's part
PG: Harry enters into the White Council political fray to save his future apprentice's neck
* SK: Harry turns down Maeve's offer to pay for information by sleeping with Jenny Greenteeth because (amongst other reasons) he'd never be OK with leaving the child that would result with monsters/fae and for others to raise.
DM & Changes: Harry has a child that ends up being raised by someone else without his knowledge, and it gets taken by monsters
* SK: Mab offers Harry a job as Winter Knight
Changes: Harry becomes the WK
* PG: "You mean I'd have to die?"
Changes: Well, you know
Potential Premonitions
* DM: Nichodemus offers Harry a position as a Denarian
* WK: "Who knows, you might make me into a saint. Or as close to one as I could get, anyway."
* WK: "Defeat the whole damn White Court now. Worry about taking on Hell later."
* SmF: "Even assuming I was stupid enough to go anywhere with you for an hour, much less a week, I saw how you treated Cassius. I'm not real eager to slide my nameplate onto his office door"
* Changes: On what people value in a home: "I'd rather have my extra meaning come from an ancient burial ground under the swimming pool or from knowing that I built it with my own hands or something." (Ch. 24)
* Changes: "I'd have to kill a lot of people outright, if I wanted to use the Darkhallow."
Premonitions involving other characters
SmF: Harry: “Yeah. You’re a saint.”
“One day,” Nicodemus said. “One day.”

Serack:
Man, I thought I had saved the original version of that in the DFRC.
Especially since it's one of the posts saved on my hard drive.
Serack:
Bump, apparently I let this fall off the back of my todo pile.
