Morgan Micro Fiction

It's always struck me as strange that in a span of less than two years, Maggie met, fell in love and had a baby by Malcolm, all while hiding from Papa Raith and an entropy curse. Knowing full well that she was ded dead. If still mobile. Malcolm was always going to be a widower. What kind of women chooses to have a child under those conditions. And what kind of man would become a father under those same conditions. Here is the timeline.

Eb says that meeting Malcolm gave the strength to leave Lord Raith. However it goes back to my theory that Margaret was a spy, she ran with the bad crowd and committed crimes because that was the only way to infiltrate them. What she saw made her decide that she had to do something more, when she found the right man, she did it. Very few, maybe not even her own father knew the whole story. The Micro fiction suggests that Morgan did, given her reputation and his reputation, pregnant or not, the Morgan of most of the books would have lopped off the head of anyone with her kind of rap sheet and asked questions later. Instead he promises to look after her child?

I mean we don't know anything about Elaine, so it could be that she was just born in the right circumstances and Justin found her, unlike Harry whose birth was almost certainly engineered:
--- Quote from: Blood Rites ---[Margaret] touched my face again and said, "I was so arrogant. I laid too great a burden upon you to bear alone. I hope that one day you will forgive me my mistake. But know that I am proud of what you have become. I love you, child."
"I love you," I whispered.

--- Quote from: White Night ---"An Outsider," Lasciel said. "I have felt such a presence before. This attack is drawn directly from the mind of the Outsider."
Gosh, that was interesting. Not relevant, but interesting.
"It is relevant," Lasciel said, "because of the circumstances of your birth - because of why you were born, Harry. Your mother found the strength to escape Lord Raith for a reason."
What the hell was she talking about?
Thud-thump : 1:26.
"There was a complex confluence of events, of energies, of circumstances that would have given a child born under them the potential to wield power over Outsiders."

So yeah, mumma Dresden (who we know was always a piece of work) totally had him on purpose to fuck up whatever her old cabal was up to. That she fell in love with Malcolm and chose him to be the father was probably just good fortune on her/Harry's part.

What I am suggesting is that Harry was what the cabal was up to. And Elaine being random strains credulity to the limits. Unless Jim is throwing reality straight out the window. The timeline allows the possibility that Margaret ran because she found out she was pregnant and Malcolm's Saintlyness involved raising and loving a child he didn't father.
@Mira
Your giving Eb access to information that Eb shouldn't have had. While my read of the text indicates that Eb was aware of Malcolm and therefore Harry prior to Malcolm's death, there isn't anything to indicate that he ever spoke to Maggie before she died. If that is true he wouldn't have any idea of why she ran.

I put out the theory a while back that perhaps Justin and Margaret LeFay were working together to learn how to create a starborn.
This idea explains how Justin was able to find Elaine as well as Harry. Both are powerful and skilled wizards, it is not believable that Justin could have found two such apprentices by chance.

It's a common theory. Along with Maggie being the main recruiter of what we know of the Black Council, Black Circle and Black Hats. Or atleast being crucially involved.
But yeah that is what Maggie Sr and Papa Raith were working on is a common theory. Definitely seems likely that Justin was specifically able to track and train Starborns.
