Who should Harry marry
bigdangmoose:
Hey, I get it. Harry has c***blocked himself from her for so long that it's ridiculous. It makes you wonder why or realize how much Molly cares for and loves Harry.
The Harry/Murphy will they/won't they dance went on too long, then ended just as it really started to get off the ground. We got one book total of them together then she died.
So the torch Molly is holding for Harry is pretty big to burn this long. And if it has burned this long, it's gonna have to be something big or extravagant for the payoff to make it worthwhile for the reader. It can be done. Some books and TV shows have done this trope and it comes out fine if not good or great. Though I don't know if one has gone on this long

Lol. It will be interesting to see how his pace is now that he's got his own place again to write. Also whether he alternates back and forth between Dresden and CS after the next CS book. If he does that, he'd more or less wrap up CS in time to then focus on BAT. At least prior to PT/BG he was pretty good for a book a year, so there's hope!

Maybe LotR but they both had moved on before deciding they wanted to be together. Would still probably count as the same but I don't remember how long they were apart and they had gotten together before splitting.
Doughnut Despot:
IMO, on Mab's sudden alliance marriage:
1. Mab is scared of a breakdown between her court and the white court due to Thomas being removed from the picture. She is also concerned Murphy's death may affect her winter knight in ways that make him even harder to control, and incorrectly guesses any woman will do as a replacement (Fairy thinking).
2. She is POed about how the Council has treated her knight, who is *hers* and is likely lashing out at them also.
3. She's also up to something, and I think she doesn't really think this alliance will go through as a marriage, but might be trying to get Dresden and Molly to work out their unresolved feelings. I think she's trying to give Harry a bodyguard not only due to the council threat toward him, but due some upcoming events where a super-powered girlfriend would be able to keep up and survive.
4. In the short story int he back, it looks like Mab watched Disney's Frozen with Molly, so I think we know where the sudden marriage idea is coming from there. ;D

That was Sarissa. Mab still has her evenings out with Sarissa apparently so in that one Maeve failed again.
