The Dresden Files > DF Spoilers
Are there Shadows in DF, an Amber Question.
raidem:
And this is why I'm asking if there will be something more and different than just Mirror Mirrors.
The other question is does a future timeline/reality hold Prime over the past. I mean that future must happen so it's 'Past' happened at some point even if its 'past' gets changed.
If we see a future Harry from a future reality, which Harry is 'more' important? Is there one that is considered more Prime than the other. Does time traveling shenanigans start a relative Prime competition between branches and those within it and/or spawned it.
An extension of Amber to DF and it applied to Skin Game would have, in some reality, Uriel transubstantiation actually creating a shadowself that's history may diverge from the read account in DF. In an infinite multiverse, Uriel may not have gotten his Grace back. Michael may have ended up with it, essentially becoming an Archangel himself. And say Uriel having to take up shop as a barkeep or a mechanic.
Side note, actually that makes me wonder if Raphael is actually Harry's mechanic.

I believe there was a WOJ that while some of the known continuity errors are just slip-ups, some of them are hints of something bigger going on. I tend to think of time travel shenanigans as changing small details of narrator Harry's reality rather than creating slightly different copies, though.

Alternate realities are confirmed. There has to be a prime (first reality). It may not be important to the story, but it has to be the case. There was a first reality.

Only if the split is a divergence rather than a fork. If a Choice can and does go each of two ways, said timelines may be equal in "realness."

I think they are equal realness. I wonder how Jim's going to deal with the time travel, Choice deal. If someone goes back in time, and makes changes wouldn't that just put them into an alternate universe? Or does the time travel actually destroy that reality, and put in place an alternate one?
