WAG.... Murphy has moved on

Especially considering she's not looking to get in bed with any supernatural deals, apparently.
I mean, "Jim wants Harry to suffer" does not override basic character traits and motivations.
Titania stated outright she doesn't give half a goddamn about Harry -- or anything -- anymore. So she's not going to go to extra effort to make his life hell.
Murphy has refused power-ups before from arguably much more benevolent sources, so she clearly doesn't want supernatural power. She knows enough about the Faeries to know you don't get anything out of a deal with them except bent over. And she's not going to take a position that makes her by default the mortal enemy of the man she loves.

I know she wouldn't accept it voluntarily. I was going with the idea of her taking up the Mantle the same way Molly did. Just as Maeve said the Mantle would seek out anyone who it deemed acceptable, and go to them. If a Lady's Mantle would do that I don't see why a less powerful Mantle wouldn't. I figured Fix dies, Murphy is near by, and because she had killed a Lady of Winter that the Mantle would recognize her as a suitable host.

I'm optimistic enough about Jim's September deadline for finishing Peace Talks that I've started posting here again for the first time in years. "Zoo Day" made me miss the Dresden Files an awful lot, and then there are Jim's Q&As at the book signings for Brief Cases, and then he gave that WoJ that he was planning to be finished with PT before his wedding in September. It feels like the terrible Dresden Drought may be over at last!
*knocks on wood*
*crosses fingers*
*offers up a prayer to the heavens*
*considers actually making some sort of animal sacrifice just to be on the safe side, except that seems really extreme and gross, and I'm, like, half-vegetarian these days, so I'd probly feel even worse about it...*
Anyway, I'm hopeful.

Human sacrifice? Really for a change this big a mere hundred cows won’t do.

The drought will be over. I think that Jim really needs to be in a comfortable personal space to write, and his house taking 3 years to finish messed up his mojo. Now he's moved in, and sounds like he's ready to get things going.

Because the Knights Mantles very specifically return to one of the Queens in order to be granted. It's how Aurora was able to shove it into Lily after Reuel died. They don't just go looking for their best person on their own.

Not all Mantles work the same.
We know for a fact that the Knight mantles do not work that way.
