Proven Guilty speculation, because, why not?

<< < (8/20) > >>

g33k:
Here is an interesting idea.  At least, _I_ think it's interesting...  bit of a WAG, but here goes...

What if the whole thing was MOSTLY not about Molly, or the Denarian assault on Arctis Tor?

What if it was - mostly - a deep plot by Mab to ...
trick the Summer Lady into ...
giving some Summerfire to a Starborn fire-mage...
 to dump onto the Winterwell ...
so Mab could use that power-hit to cure Lea...
who was right there after all.

I like it, you should start a thread.

There's a WoJ saying that Mab did not expect Harry to dump Summer Fire into Winter's Well.

Are you sure? (any confirmation @Serack (or others with better WoJ-fu than me?))

Alas.  Another great WAG gone up in flames...

This is me helping you out, g33k doesn't need help.  This may get me moderated for posting too much text.
--- Quote ---The Summer Lady looked up, her weary smile gorgeous. “I only provided a minor comfort and guide in order to repay my debt to the lady Charity,” she murmured, a small smile on her lips. “I had no way to know that the wizard would steal that power for his own use.”(you can add the innocent tone of voice, Marsters does it well.) She drew in a deep breath and said, “Help me up. We must go.”
Fix did so. “Go where?”
I said, “All of those Winter forces are now at the heart of their own realm. Which means that they aren’t on the borders of Summer waiting to attack. Which means that Summer has forces that can be spared to assist the Council,” I said quietly.
“But it only took them a few minutes to show up,” Murphy pointed out. “Couldn’t they just run back and be there a few minutes from now?”
“No, Murph,” I said. “They planned for that. This whole raid was a setup from the get go.” I jerked my head at Lily. “Wasn’t it.”
“That is one way to describe it,” Lily said quietly. “I would not, myself, interpret it that way. I had no part in bringing the fetches here—but their presence and their capture of Lady Charity’s daughter presented us with an opportunity to temporarily neutralize the presence of Mab’s forces upon our borders.”
“We,” I murmured. “Maeve is working with you. That was why she showed up at McAnally’s so quickly.”
“Even so,” Lily said, bowing her head at me in a nod of what looked like respect.
Fix blinked at Lily. “You’re working with Maeve?”
“She couldn’t have altered the flow of time at the heart of Winter,” I said quietly. “Only one of the Winter Queens could do that.”

As a side note if you look through the WOJ's somewhere there is a post where Jim tells you that the order of Proven Guilty and Dead Beat were changed.  Make of that what you might.  Also read the recap when Eb tells Harry what Rashid might have been doing.
--- Quote ---“Rashid,” I said in a firm voice. “Tell the Gatekeeper.”
Ebenezar frowned, though it looked more weary than anything else. “Likely he knows already. Knew already. Maybe even pointed you in a direction that would show you more. Assuming he wasn’t simply using you to poke a hornet’s nest and see what flew up.”

Also note the change in tense.  And read Love Hurts.

Edit
Just because, note that Mother Winter, Mab, and Maeve are referred to as the three queens.
