The Dresden Files > DF Spoilers
Murphy (BG spoilers) (also some thoughts on the book overall)
Conspiracy Theorist:
Harry really needs to arrange conjugal visits in Valhalla, which will be in the NeverNever, the problem is though that the connecting point from the mortal world is probably one of the Great War war cemeteries or perhaps Arlington. If he can get into Hades realm, Harry can get into Valhalla.
But long distance relationships are hell, after all. It would be worthwhile just to see Karrin have a long and heated diatribe about the food and drink “Nothing but red meat and mead, I would kill for a nice chicken salad and a nice bottle of Chardonnay”, the company “Nothing but big, farting, hairy men, honestly if it wasn’t for Hendricks I wouldn’t be able to have a decent conversation with anyone” The company’s attitudes “They all believe a woman’s place is in the home, and my knee is sore from constantly reminding them it isn’t” on reassignment “I asked whether I could be a Valkyrie, but apparently the only steed available in my size is a goofy pink winged pony, with I swear a cutie mark”, on the boss “he asked whether I would call him daddy, so I called him a son of a bitch, and he just laughed.” On Harry’s impending nuptials “well that’s Lara totally screwed, pity, I was just starting to like her.” On Marcone picking up a coin “so Namshiel is MORE evil now?”
Regarding the Great War, I wonder if in the Dresdenverse the Angels Of Mons legends were in fact Gard and her sisters, it would make sense.

I don't think that will be so easy, Valhalla is the hall for the dead warriors, I don't think the living are allowed there. Where as though Hades is the realm of the dead there is precedent for mortals, okay, a few heroes, visiting his Halls and returning successfully.

She liked those men and she trained with those men, she knows several of them personally. And I think that was exactly the reason she ended up in Valhalla, the attitude rubbed off.
And they respected her. It will be fine.
And you don't need a steed your size, a bigger one will do just fine. It might even better.

Harry won't stay mortal for long.
Mr. Death:
I'll tell you, I figured what was going to happen to Murphy after I remembered her callsign this book was "Valkyrie."
(Admittedly, part of me was also hoping she'd gotten Molly to make her a doppelganger spell of her own after seeing Harry's, but oh well.)
Anyway, I'm reminded of Conan the Barbarian -- specifically, Conan's love interest, and her vow to him, "All the gods, they cannot sever us. If I were dead and you were still fighting for life, I'd come back from the darkness. Back from the pit of hell to fight at your side."
And with the amount that Butcher's put into Norse mythology, and the term "Empty Night," the Big Apocalyptic Trilogy is probably going to be Ragnarok.
The big battle that all the Einherjaren are gearing up for.
So now I'm going to hold my breath for Harry to be down in the dirt during the BAT, about to be struck down, then a tiny, but fierce, warrior steps in, clobbers whoever Harry's fighting, and smirks to him, "Do you want to live forever?"

After Mab's comment in BG about mortality, I'd bet money he stays as mortal as any wizard.
