Kincaid microfiction "Goodbye"
Dina:
IF Harry let her know that he is alive, all is well. I have no problems with that happening off screen.

And yes, in CD Harry was busy but still, writing a small note only takes a minute. And then, you have free time until SG.

However who made sure he fell in the water? Realistically a small note wouldn't do it, it isn't like Harry came back unexpectedly from Egypt or something. EVERYONE thought he had died, he was given a funeral, he was mourned, it takes more than a small note to explain that and he just didn't have the time.

I find it persuasive that one of Mab's titles is "Queen of Air and Darkness." I think deflecting a bullet is well within her capabilities.
But the angle at which he fell... yeah, that's a tough one. Not gonna put it past Mab, however. Couple of dozen of the Wee Folk, lurking on nearby boats... a Nereid (or maybe one of Jennie Greenteeth's kin) in the water below... it could be accomplished.

"Hi, Ivy, it's Harry. I just got out of a very twisted rehab, back in Arctis Tor. First day back in Chicago. Turns out, she and Mr. Sunshine were running a deep-cover op, and my preemptive self-retirement didn't take. If I worried you, I apologize. This is my first chance to let you know that things have turned out OK... ish... depending, I guess, on the next day or two. As usual."
Takes... what... a few minutes' thought (pre-considered during the downtime of rehab). And maybe half a minute to write, when he was alone in the Munstermobile, or etc...
"Oh, yeah -- stars and stones, but I've always wanted to say this! -- this message will self-destruct in ... five - four - three - two - one - " FUEGO!
Dina:
Even "Hi Ivy! I'm Harry and I am alive. I was in a sort of coma for months but now I am back and I wanted to tell you". It's shorter.
morriswalters:
Hi Ivy.
I know I claimed to be your friend, but I needed your bodyguard to do a solid for me. I'm sorry if it causes grief, but shit happens.
Harry.
The problem with the setup is the causes grief part. He takes a child who is fragile and removes a measure of her support. However this is the pre Ghost Story Harry before Uriel rubs his nose into what a selfish dick he is.
