Oh, ok, so Lara wouldn't necessarily die. Though I do wonder how well she'd survive in the earlier books due to how she seems weaker there. Not so say that she needs Harry at any point, but he was a pretty big factor in her rise to power. I do think that Thomas will still be alive though.
Yeah, what to do with Susan since her being dead really would be a good way to send him spiraling down but I feel that it would be crueler if she lived and Harry had to see her become monstrous and no longer a person he loved.

Well, a whole bunch would obviously happen to Mirror!Harry, and it'd be a DIFFERENT whole bunch of stuff; and yes, having to kill Susan might blow his gasket...

Or kill to protect her... increasingly dubious killings to protect an uncontrolled half-vamp...?  But she's the mother of his child(ren) so what's he gonna do?

But Susan alive and living in Chicago would mess worse with Harry's mind, so I think that's what Jim would do.

123Chikadee:
@g33k: Oooh yeah it would so mess with Harry. Maybe its b/c she gets away but doesn't know how to help Harry, so they could have gone their separate ways?

Most people seem to think the choice is going to be related to Susan and / or Bianca. But Harry made another very consequential choice that flies mostly under the radar. When Thomas brought Amoracchius back, Michael's initial inclination was to kill him out of hand before even opening the package. Being a vampire and apparently playing both sides at the ball was reason enough. The choice to spare him and trust him was Harry's.

If he hadn't, think how some of the real villains - say, Nicodemus - might have been able to mess with !Harry's head just by revealing that the KotC had murdered the unknown brother who was genuinely trying to help Harry, and doomed Susan in the process. That his 'friend' was no better than that judgmental ass Morgan, and Harry sat by and nodded. That would wreck him.

Bad Alias:
That's really good. It raises a lot of questions.

What would have happened immediately after? The Nightmare possesses Lydia. It took Thomas's help to "defeat" him. Would they have been killed? Would they have been forced to kill Lydia to survive? Would Harry have figured out that the Nightmare was Kravos? Would they have attempted the rescue of Susan? Thomas was the one with all the intel. If they still went through the Nevernever, would Harry have been able to escape Lea? I don't really recall if Thomas was crucial there. What would have happened if Harry attempted a rescue? When would he? What if he didn't try the Nevernever and ended up killing the human guards with magic, violating the 1st Law?
