The Dresden Files > DF Spoilers

Non-plot moments you're most looking forward to

(1/7) > >>

Kindler:
So I was thinking about some scenes that I really want to see, but which aren't super-relevant to the ongoing plot. For instance, I really, really want to see Harry soulgaze his daughter for the first time. Mostly because I assume that Harry is absolutely freaking terrified of doing that, both because he's afraid she hates him and/or because he's afraid she will hate him based on what she sees. It would be an entirely new kind of vulnerability from Harry, who's had so little experience with family, and pretty much zero experience with Maggie.

I know it probably won't happen for a long time unless it's accidental since Dresden will want to put that off as long as he can, so it's not like I'm expecting it in Peace Talks (though a Murphy soulgaze is on the table, and I believe there is some anticipation in the community for that event).

What moments like this—ones that are pretty much guaranteed to happen—are you most looking forward to?

Avernite:
Eb getting to play grandpa to Maggie and Thomas junior would be cool.

ClintACK:
It's not entirely "non-plot", but the scene that's been stuck in my head since Peace Talks was announced is Harry Dresden facing down He-Who-Walks-Before (or -Behind), like in Cold Days, with a side of the overwhelming despair in the Deeps in White Night -- but with wizards of the White Council watching. I'm pretty sure none of them have any idea that he's a Starborn, or what that means.

I'd also still love to see Shagnasty confined to Demonreach, even if it's just in passing.

Molly coming out to her parents as Winter Lady.

Molly, as Winter Lady, interacting publicly with the Merlin, who had publicly tried to have her killed.

And lots of Harry's particular version of being diplomatic with monsters...

Some of the senior council almost definitely do. Martha's "you know what he was meant to be" to LtW in Summer Knight comes to mind. Plus Rashid, obviously.

Given Jim's affinity for torturing the reader via Harry, I can't really see that playing out many ways other than her seeing his memory of sacrificing Susan. Although I kind of wonder if it wouldn't strike Harry harder for her to actually understand - showing him she grasps how nasty the world can be at times - than to hate him for it.

peregrine:
We don't necessarily know what Martha's comment was referring to, as Harry has been meant to be a lot of things.  Though that could be it.

Jim has said that the Council has a lot of info but hasn't yet put two and two together, so at large, they may or may not know until they actually think about it.
