--- Quote from: Conspiracy Theorist on May 16, 2022, 11:58:41 AM --- Wizards only start to slow their aging in their forties, Elaine hadn’t slowed, so she was in a one to one time flow, as would presumably be any child.
--- End quote ---
But if Elaine surrendered the babe, it could have been whisked off to a very time-dilated bit of the Nevernever. Elaine's experience of aging need not be related to the child's.
--- Quote from: Conspiracy Theorist on May 16, 2022, 11:58:41 AM --- ... Of course Harry killing the Queen of Summers child without any apparent retaliation is suspicious, does she know something Harry doesn’t?
--- End quote ---
Titania has admitted that it had to be done (but that she hates Harry anyway). The possibility of future vengence still seems like a "clear and present danger!" Enacting a child-snatching to use tit-for-tat & eye-for-eye against Harry (for killing her own daughter), however, suggests that she foresaw Harry killing Aurora, which only happened because Aurora got Nemfected...
--- Quote from: Conspiracy Theorist on May 16, 2022, 02:31:25 PM --- ... A firstborn son would be a dreadful thing to dangle over Harry, and these Fae they do love a firstborn.

Yes they do!!! (and yes, it would be)

I would presume Elaine would raise the child up until she was released back into the world. That would give Aurora an angry teenager to work with. Perfect. Which Titania would inherit. Lily then become Summer Lady so never the brightest spark, neither she nor Fix were told. With Sarissa as Summer Lady she is far more likely to ferret out any nasty secret, but if so is likely to be put under a geas.
To be fair if this is correct then Summer took Harry’s child before he took Summers. Elaine bargained without Harry’s rights being taken into account. The Summer Court is a matriarchy. I wonder if we see an Aurora v Harry battle and whether Sarissa becomes Summer Queen.

Yes and Jim lies, sometimes in black and white (cough two versions of Christmas Eve) ...

Hmmm ... ?
D'you mean the Molly-POV one, beginning from when she departs from Harry?
And where's the "Jim lies" bit? Not that I disbelieve you... I just didn't see it.

I wouldn't presume that; not at all!
A bunch of the folklore has faeries taking very small children, toddlers, etc; sometimes even babies from cradles.
Elaine may have given the child up at birth ("a life for a life" protection). Which is a nifty reversal -- Margaret LeFay bargained to get protection for Harry; this hypothetical child was bargained-away to get protection for the mother...

There were two versions of Christmas Eve. The first version published on his website before Battle Ground has Harry describing himself as a Wizard of the White Council, the second version published in Battle Ground has Harry describing himself as the Wizard of Chicago.
A lie pure and simple in black and white.
