--- Quote from: CrusherJen on September 30, 2020, 09:36:19 PM ---Mab can make Harry marry Lara, but nobody can force them to "boink." Harry has True Love protection from Karrin (as confirmed in Peace Talks) and even with her dead(ish) I don't see that fading in a year's time, especially as Harry knows she's still around as a Valkyrie. I don't have the book nearby, but I seem to recall his protection from Susan lasted a long time after their breakup. So unless something happens in the next year, the marriage would have to be political only. Lara can't touch Harry without burning herself.

Interesting thought: does that protection still apply since Karrin is now dead? His protection from Susan lasted years ... but she was still alive...

We don't know for sure. The way Thomas explains the effect in BR kind of implies it should, though - it is said to be bits of True Love-infused spirit that "stick to" the person. Any bits of Karrin's spirit stuck to Harry's should still be there.

Marrying Lara might break it in itself - I'd imagine the vows have supernatural weight.
I am actually surprised that Harry getting married is even a possibility, as the Winter Knight is said to be "consort to the Queens of Winter". They might need to do something special with the vows -- I doubt Harry can swear to "forsake all others".
BrainFireBob:
Just as surprising, Mab can't marry.
Lady can't boink, Queen can't marry. Mother can't have kids?

Mab had two daughters, twins I believe, at some point with a mortal. Maeve and Sarissa.

She said it had to do with something that happened when she was mortal... I took that as meaning that it was because of some oath she had taken, not a condition of the Queen mantle.
And this too is a bit odd with the "consort of the Queens of Winter" bit. I took the Stone Table scene in Changes to be essentially a ritual consummation of Harry's "marriage" to Mab.
