Where was Lacunna in Twelve Months?

[SerScot]

She was in the Toot short story but didn’t appear in the novel?

   I asked the same question, also where is Georgia?  I got no replies, not even a theory..

Harry is already through the Mirror and doesn’t realize it yet.

None of Harry's friends' significant others show up in this story, Charity is there for a second and if you blink you miss her, and is probably mentioned by name just because she's the one actually raising his child. But it was one of those weird things about the book.

 At least she is mentioned, though all through the books while Harry talks about her a lot, we don't usually see much of her.  Lavunna on the other hand, Toot was totally smitten with her and I thought as of Battle Ground and Peace talks he was starting to grow on her as well.  So very odd, she isn't seen or mentioned by Toot or Harry.  Will seems to be practically living at the castle these days, but says not a word about wife or child, though in past books Georgia is always a part of the picture if Will is in it.  The pack is mentioned, they are present a couple of times, but no word of Georgia or the girlfriend of Butters.

... or the girlfriend of Butters. 

The girlfriends, apparently!
Unless Butters' situation has changed since the Battle of Chicago ... ?

I think it's because Harry wasn't thinking about them much. The typical Harry Dresden book is about one weekend and mentions every one he happens to interact with during that limited time frame. Twelve Months is about Harry spending a year to start moving on from a very traumatic battle while fully accepting his current place in life. Lacunna, Georgia, Butter's girlfriends, and a bunch of other minor characters weren't relevant to that story so they weren't included. I hope Jim will mention them soon but I'm not surprised that they aren't mentioned at all.

Yes, and no, because for the last few books you don't see Toot without Lacunna, and it isn't natural unless there was some kind of breakup for Will not to mention wife and child.  So it really isn't a matter of out of sight out of mind, it's just very odd.

Maybe Harry was deliberately filtering any women that weren't forcefully on his mind? Well, apart from Valyries.

Because of the one woman who's death overshadowed all the rest of his life.

Possible, I think it may be more in the line of because he lost his love he cannot not stand to acknowledge it anywhere else, because it hurts too much.

 You could be right, however I think it is more along the lines of because he lost his love and happiness, its too painful to see other people feeling it and having it.
