DF Spoilers / Proven Guilty and my personal canon.
« on: August 26, 2022, 12:17:56 PM »
I have found the last piece of the puzzle for my personal head canon for Proven Guilty. This shouldn't be confused with the truth, whatever that is. I still have no idea of who fixed LC.
There appear to be two murder plots running concurrently in the text. There is the obvious one. The Merlin being manipulated into trying to kill Harry once again. This is probably the WC traitor (Peabody) stirring the pot. Magic ink and all that.
Then there is the second plot. The one by the Denarian's, possibly/probably in concert with the Black Council. This one is trying to either get Harry to pick up the coin or to kill him if he uses LC, by having it blow up in his face.
This second plot is inferred rather than explicit. This is tenuous but the reasoning is thus. Lash shows up two times in the book, unless I'm forgetting one. She appears just before the crash and she appears just before first use. She is the only one who could have blocked Harry or Bob from seeing the flaw in LC. If Nicodemus is to be believed she could have controlled Harry and told Bob to not see it. Harry never would have known. Her active intervention let Uriel put his thumb on the scale.
Why didn't Rashid just tell Harry what Molly had done. They had to empty the basement so someone could get in and fix Little Chicago. In addition Mab had to show Harry the attack on Arctis Tor so Harry could answer the first question that Eb asked. Why didn't Mab declare war on the Red's? Thus answering the question, why did Mab have Molly brought to Arctis Tor?
For my personal fan service and head canon this is good enough. It ties up most of the loose ends.
