Mab/Murphy Ironies

--- Quote ---Question, prior to CD, were Mab and Murphy ever in each other's presence or has Mab ever made reference to Murphy? While I believe that Mab knew of Murphy and her ties to Harry, I don't think that Mab credited her with much significance.

First off, if Mab is a time traveling character that has yet to go into the past, then Mab would need to minimize her interactions and deals with her prior self as that would greatly complicate time travel related plots.
(This isn't directly relevant but I read it yesterday, it stood out in a way where one thing Mab does leads to multiple ways Harry and Murphy interact and overcome personal issues)
It's not in PG, but in SK when Mab asks Harry to work for her on a homicide and stolen object (summer knight), Mab forces Harry to stab himself with a letter opener. He goes to White Council where he basically gets forced into choosing to work for Mab then goes to Murphy for help on the homicide investigation, police files, etc. Murphy is in a hot mess with her ex dying from cancer, and with nightmares after Kravos impersonated Harry and got inside her head. Short story short, Murphy took care of Harry's hand. The case brings them together and out of both their deep funks as Harry was in a deep funk from losing Susan to RCV (half-turned). It also seems likely that Mab may have neutralized some magic that Harry ate from Kravos that was lingering see excerpt.
--- Quote ---Mab placed her gloved hand on my wounded one, and a sudden spike of sheer, vicious cold shot up through the injury like a frozen scalpel before lancing up my arm, straight toward my heart.

--- Quote ---No offense intended to you, Raidem; you aren't simply throwing this out there with no reasonable evidence. There are parallels between Murphy and Mab to be drawn. I just don't think they indicate time travel.

I understand; And, thank you. I've struggled with the theory too. I've entertained one that doesn't need time travel, that Murphy becomes Mab in the future or alternate reality not distant past. It's definitely less cumbersome.

Did you just time travel to make your point? scary!
raidem:
Wow, I don't know how that happened. I guess I was trying to copy and move over a quote from another thread to here. And, then I was suppose to be writing a reply.
Hmmm...I forget the reply I wrote. LOL
Edited: I found what i was copying to paste there. It's corrected.

Is it a case of old age or busy mind? Seems like I have been experiencing both of late. And, yes, I am only 42.
