Is the WK mantle affecting Harry's sperm?
Ananda:
Wow, there is a discussion about Dresden’s sperm. Butcher really needs to get you guys some new material. :o ;D

Quote from: Twitter conversation
Question among my @HarriedWizard RPG group for @longshotauthor : would changelings be sterile? and if not how would the genetics work?
@DeusSolis @HarriedWizard No, not at all. And cautiously.
@DeusSolis @HarriedWizard :D Consider it a dormant gene group that could potentially be activated by environmental exposure.
@longshotauthor @HarriedWizard So a half-elf changeling could have kids that when exposed 2 faerydom, child could exhibit faery qualities?
@DeusSolis @HarriedWizard Yeah, though they'd need more exposure the wider the generation gap was. It would be impractical at some point.

Jim says to consider that "there is a dormant gene group that can be activated by environmental exposure." Based on that I think we can say that the Knight mantle is activating this gene group within his sperm such that should he sire a child, they will have a strong connection to the fae. Possibly qualifying as a scion or changeling. I mean we have Harry himself being suggested as not entirely human by Goodman Grey. It isn't such a stretch to believe that his kids are going to inherit extra potent fae activated genes due to his exposure to his mantle and proximity to the Queens. Let us not forget this exchange.

Mab: For now.

So, I think we can consider at some point Harry's kids born after are going to qualify as something other than 'human'. I'm again referring to changeling, scion, etc.
I'd also say he has an existing set of same or similar genes derived most likely from his mother. I and others have found it likely that Harry is descended from some faerie or Vadderung. We do have Maggie Le Fey as Harry's mother. It is likely she has fairy roots somewhere.

He's talking about physical offspring with his statement, not someone just exposed to Fae magic. You're assuming (perhaps correctly, but not assuredly) that Harry has Fae genetics. He might not.
raidem:
One, I think Harry does have Fae genetics. I mean we see that Molly had dormant Fae genetics with greater generational gap. We do have Harry's mother gifted with navigating the Nevernever and earning the Le Fay moniker. I think it reasonable to assume Harry already had a dormant gene group.
Two, Harry holds a Fae mantle. This essentially qualifies him as some quasi Fae entity that operates in an area that straddles Fae and Human realms. So, I'd imagine that the Fae mantle is changing, inserting, or activating this gene group for his future offspring and this gene group of course lies on the genes carried by his sperm. That is why I posed the question including it.
Rasins:
Not to poo-poo ... but I think this thread is all the evidence we need that we need new material to discuss.
