Murphy in Peace Talks (WoJ spoilers)

--- Quote from: LordDresden2 on August 13, 2017, 06:35:28 PM ---The thing is, though, that she's still not the Karrin we met back in the early books, and Harry is no longer the young punk of a Wizard, either. The romantic attraction was always there, and still is, but it no longer feels...well, the attraction feels natural but the idea of them acting on it no longer feels natural to me, not the way it comes across back around Death Masks. Back then, even when he was with Susan, the Murphy relationship felt more natural than the Rodriguez one.
Now, though...that sense of them together as a natural development, at least for me, is gone. I still feel in in reread of the older books, but by the time of Cold Days and Skin Game, the idea produces more of an 'It's Too Late', reaction.
Maybe Peace Talks will change my reaction, we'll have to wait and see.
But I suspect that JB will have to do something about Karrin soon, if she's still going to play a major role in unfolding story. I suspect he'll find it necessary even if he doesn't plan it right now, simply because of the demands of the story.

^^That,
--- Quote ---Michael accepts the changes both in Harry and in his life, and he also trusts who Harry is in his core being. Murphy doesn't, that is at the crux of it I think, she plays lip service to trusting him, but her actions/words say different..

Is a completely different topic than that^
So I'm not really sure what any of that has to do with my post ???
But since you brought it up... the idea that they'd get together when it 'feels' natural or works best is kind of a video game logic.(Hey, I found a key, bet I find a locked door soon, vice versa) That's not how reality tends to work(I sight empirical personal evidence...) so why do we expect such perfection in action from a story except that it is a story? besides.... DF logic is backwards, if it's a bad time, if it's only good in transition, if it would royally hurt Harry, it can and will happen. I call it, Murphy's Law ::)
forumghost:
See for me (at least in the context of The DF), "Murphy's Law" sounds like a spin-off about the adventures of the Chicago Justice League.
Or for an alternative title:
Law and Order; Supernatural Victims Unit

I prefer to have Murphy take an exit but come back disguised as something else. Something mabish via time shenanigans.
Murphy at arctic tor in pg, and on demonreach in cold days both put her centered at pretty significant sidhe queen affairs. That is not to mention that she rode with the wild hunt near the leadership of it. She also has increasing links to vadderung via training with einhejaren. We now know he, as kringle, is of winter. I wonder if another vessel is being readied in case of some peculiar happenstance.
I believe there was some who about queen succession rules, etc. And how Molly was able to fit into them. The jist I got is there are the rules or at least expected rules until jim changes them.

Problem with all those incarnations for the returned Murphy, is she would then no longer be Murphy.
DonBugen:
Not to be too ominous or paranoid, but… are you so sure that Murphy is still Murphy right now?
