new mirror mirror idea
prince lotore:
So with the new short story we have a new spin for a mirror mirror. What if Morgan got to harry 11 hours earlier and raised him as his apprentice. Harry now becomes that unstoppable warden that haunted his nightmares. But he never becomes the guy at the center of the problems. The faeries are at war, the red court is at the height of its power and the circle rules supreme. And that harry, desperate to hang on to the old ways that he was raised to respect and uphold, (after the Sr council was killed by a new god cowl) breaks and goes full Vader. All in the name of doing good and saving the innocent

Except that doesn't match what Jim Butcher has said about Mirror Mirror. Of course, Jim does lie sometimes, so I guess anything's on the table, really! ;D
But Jim stated that the premise of MM will be:
--- Quote ---[It’s] going to be… How will the world be different if Harry had made one choice differently... Dresden as he would have been if he made one choice differently, and the fallout from that effect on his life ... the big decision at the end of Grave Peril

So he lets the Holy Sword be shattered? Leaves Susan to her fate? Lets Bianca live.. Which has the most impact? Not sure that a Holy Sword broken in a human sacrifice can be remade.. All kinds of implications there. If Susan was killed or became a full vamp, no little Maggie.. The Red Court would still be around. If Bianca lived not only would the Red Court still be around the war wouldn't have been set off prematurely, and that could have real serious implications, because they are a cat's paw for a much bigger player... On the other hand the Former would be held in check.. However that might not be such a good thing..
Bad Alias:
I'm fairly certain that the choice happens after the Vampire Ball. That's pretty much in the middle of the story.

All of the above except for letting the Holy Sword be shattered happens after the ball. Harry's decision to go and save Susan, Bianca's death which supposedly triggers the duel which in turn triggers the war with the Reds, which is premature, Susan and Harry have unprotected sex, little Maggie is conceived, the Red King kidnaps her to sacrifice to trigger the generational spell to kill off
Harry and Eb, Harry reverses spell which kills off the Red Court, which in turn triggers the the rise of the Fomor... There are a number of things in there that if changed could change everything.
