Storm Front questions and theory

Mira:

--- Quote ---It's almost a shame the divergence chosen as the basis for Mirror Mirror is in the events of GP, because the 'what if' scenario if Harry had handled the first meeting with Bianca more diplomatically - say, opened by swearing on his power that he wasn't the perpetrator - is actually fascinating.

Just a wild guess, but if this is true, I wouldn't be shocked if Maggie is asking Harry some questions he cannot answer, or he can but either way it brings on a huge wave of guilt about Susan..  So he goes back to try and do it differently, only to realize if he does, no Maggie... Or if he hadn't tried to kill Lea with the Sword of Love, losing it to her and having her trade it for the Knife..  Or even something with Justine, she may not have ended up infected and Thomas locked up in Demonreach..

Second Aristh:
The Mirror Mirror book isn't the time travel book.  Mirror Mirror will start with Evil!Harry summoning an alt-universe version of himself (our Harry) as a way to fake his own death.  Evil!Harry's reality was created by a choice of Harry's in GP by WoJ.


For that choice, I think one near the end of the book works best, though several would probably fit the bill.  As an example, the "I love you" to Susan when he's in the basement with her after being captured.  Swap that choice, Susan goes feral and either forces Harry to kill her or she kills Justine.  The first turns Harry into a full warlock in the WC's eyes and the second will mean Thomas never becomes an ally.  Either way, his life is totally different from that moment on.

The_Sibelis:
I have a bit of a different take on SF. I think it was set up by the inside players. Lord Raith might have his hand in silver Co and giving shadow man knowledge, but remember how he wanted to become a player himself? Taking what Vadderung says about Harry just now meeting all the players, and then watching how the major accords members acted in the meeting in BG. He wanted to be one of those monsters. Few other random thought..
-looking at what consequences it actually achieved, Marcone and Harry's paths are forcefully crossed. Intentionally, but without forcing it. Reminds me of later when Kumori causes Marcone to seek Harry out, they gave him a choice sure, but they stilted what his options were by introducing elements he can't contain.
-three eye helps break down the veil and change/create supernatural belief.
-those who come before, and he who follows. Those before are plural. Something about this makes me assume they are named, or connected to an event or happening. Those who come before the event, and he who follows after. I do note, other than him being summoned, Hwwbh hasn't been shown to directly interfere, (unless you count the cat sith connection possibility) he comes after?

could be, it could be.. anything saying it's not? Smoke and mirrors!

Only insofar as dimension hopping counts as time travel.  We'll get some introspection from Harry about how his choices and free will matters, and likely some tidbits about Nega!Black Council that may or may not apply to prime!BC.

considering in some theorem's it's one and the same.. but no, I'm implying both happen, one as a result of the other.
