Did Mab take the Athame in payment for curing Leah, or did she take it for some other reason?

I'd been assuming the former since we found out the whole deal in CD. If she took it for some other reason, then we have two separate bargains with unknowns on one side. But that might explain why Mab was personally wearing the athame in her appearance in DB, which has always bothered my given that it was the vector for Nemfection.

Unless she'd already determined that it could no longer transmit nemesis.

That's the only explanation I can come up with, though Id like some nod to it one day. The only other option I can think of would be that the Queen of Winter is somehow immune, but CD certainly made that unlikely.

Agreed, though maybe her wearing it WAS a nod to it no longer being a nemesis threat.

Is it not possible that she's 'immune' in so much that, if she's aware and on the ball, then like with the Gatekeeper's eye detecting Nemesis, it's next to impossible to N-fect a Fae Queen once you get into the Mab/Titania realm. It makes sense the Ladies can be vulnerable as the youngest, least experienced and powerful of the trio. The Queens might be able to be N-fected, but it's as unlikely to happen as anything (though some have, and will argue that Titania is probably vulnerable now in her emotional state, though I think it's overstated). And when you get to the Mothers, they are probably 'literally' incapable of being tainted.
