Motivation for fixing Little Chicago?
morriswalters:
Given that Mab and the Gatekeeper are thicker than thieves, she could have sent him, since it involved mortal magic. However I'm not selling that. My theory, when I think about it, is that somebody from an alternate timeline, just before that timeline dies, crosses over to fix LC and to create a timeline that doesn't end. And then goes home to die, or whatever. Just not Harry.
My contention is that Bob holds the keys to the kingdom, since he knows everything that need to be known about LC, when the sub basement was unoccupied and how to bypass the wards. All you have to assume in this scenario is that Bob survives the event and that an ally finds him, maybe Thomas.
However Jim always surprises me.

Sure, but if Mab has been in the Winter garden the entire time since the attack, which is supposed to have happen a while ago, she just wouldn’t have had the time to sneak into Chicago for those crucial few days.
Even if she were able to leave Faerie, my point was that she would be too busy dealing with the fallout from the attack as well as the knowledge that the Adversary has taken her top 2 lieutenants away. Where would she find the time to spy on Harry enough to know about LC & then diagnose a complex issue & fix it?
I also see no problem with your point about the Summer agent using LC to Summer’s gain while fixing it.
@morriswalters
That just seems a little complicated. Also what would be the motivation behind this act?
kbrizzle:
On a tangential note - I do believe that time travel in the DV is more complex that we’re giving credit in this thread.
While Odin explains that going back in the past to alter something would create a separate timeline, we also know that the OG Merlin was able to travel to 5 different points in time to create Demonreach (although this could perhaps be explained by the theory that Demonreach was built to exist in every timeline)

Yeah, but my point is that "a while ago" in the Nevernever could mean that Mab fixed Little Chicago before the attack.

I have no idea, storywise it might show you the stakes if Harry dies. What happens if Outsiders breach the wall.
To answer part of the other questions, Mab shows Harry a display of Marcone being taken in Small Favor, Gard can actually sense Mab looking. I think this is the Gate at work, and that like Demonreach it might have intellectus.
