This is a really great thread!  I really like reading everyone's theries.  The few I will ship are:
Eliane = Kamori
Injun Joe = Cowl (we know that some people we think are good will be bad and this is jst to good to pass up)
I have seen it tossed up that Lara is now part of the BC, I will totally disagree with this one just based on her position in the Oblivian War, the BC goals are to agianst what she would be fighting for.  Also I don't think the Ferifax(sp?) is part of the BC, all the gifts at the party where from the BC and had some kind of negitive conitations to them for the recipiants, I think he is to poweful of a being to want to play with them so they wanted to try and negate him for the future.

I think Molly bearing one of the swords is a good posibility based on Harry's Soul gaze of her.  We know Luccio can't make warden swords anymore so what sword did she have?

And to wrap this up for now the last couple of posts, Harry is a Wizard, not  vanilla mortal his dad was just a normal human being who was able to Love Harry's mother no matter what he knew about her and that's what saved her from Hell.

Cheers all and keep up the great work!

I think the most irritating ones for me are the fate of Fidelacchius and Amorrachius. I thought for sure that after the changes/Ghost Story section Murphy would end up with Fidelacchius at least, and I still haven't given up on that possiblilty. Also, I think that the "other side" mentioned was probably demons and/or hell. As for how they cheated, Ghost Story makes it pretty clear. They whispered lies into Harry's ear to influence him in the wrong direction, and in doing so they broke the rules of guiding and interacting with the flow of people's lives.

These two are not so mysterious. First, Mouse is a Foo-Dog, a crossbreed of an Ice Demon and a regular dog. As for why he chose Harry it is more speculation, but is probably that when he met Harry he probably felt a kindred spirit and a power of some sort that made him like Harry.

Second, Nicodemus tells Harry straightforward that he had Lasciel's coin because he felt like she was a good fit for Harry, and since he was expecting to find a way to make Harry pick it up he had it with him for when the opportunity arose.

We know that Kincaid is a scion. The son of some nevernever being and a human. He is not a changeling. No faerie. We do not know what that nevernever being was and it might be interesting.

I don't believe ive ever posted on this site before but i do lurk on it all the time and feel its time to throw a crazy, off the cuff, no facts to back it up whatsoever theory out there. Granted i have no where near the talent of ms. Ducks who seems to come up with new genius theories all the time but Ill enjoy making up an answer to this anyway. Kincaid is going to end up being the son of the erlking and....dresdens grandmother. She was captured by Erl during a hunt and held captive. She bore him a son before Eb rescued her but by then the child had already been taken away. Later Eb meets Kincaid, realizes who he is, and gives him a chance to prove himself without telling him that he knows his mother. Later kincaid kills his mother for leaving him (doesnt Eb tell Harry something like you dont know what he has done?) And Eb has hated him ever since.

Why the Erlking you ask? No reason, just seemed more interesting than saying random scary nevernever creature. Ive got nothing to back this up but it is a storyline i would enjoy so i shared.

You know id like to take a stab at the " Why are Jack and Carmichael in chicagotory?" Question. Could it be related to the fact that they were both killed while fighting the supernatural, both cops, and so both recruited by Uriel to join a group involved with supernatural related deaths? I seem to recall reading somewhere that Jack didnt really suicide, he was head of the black cats and maybe some mojo was involved with his death so Uriel snags him as a logical agent.

Carmichael died as the result of supernatural interference, he was on si and he died trying to save murphy so again Uriel should have interest in him and even Jack would probably want him around.

Lots of cops probably get killed as a result of running into something supernatural and that could create a pool of possible recruits for Uriel. Take it a step further and maybe some "sin" on their souls would have sent them to hell despite the fact that they were trying to "fight the good fight" and by doing this Uriel is giving them a chance to move on up instead of down.

He's a Scion, not a changeling.

And we know that Kincaid is centuries older than Ebenezar.

so if Kincaid is a Scion, doesn't that make Harry a Scion as well?

"What's the point of shooting if you're just going to miss?" He smiled, made a mime-gun of his thumb and index finger, and aimed at me. His thumb fell forward and he said, "I'm as human as you are, Dresden. I'll see you later." (Blood Rites)

Oh hell no.

Quote
"Just plain folk?"

"Yeah"

"Not supernatural?"

"I wish, Vanilla mortal."

"You're a liar."

"Excuse me?"

"I said you're a liar. I saw you during the fight at Wrigley, Kincaid. You fired a dozen shots, on the move and dodging bad guys the whole time."

"What's so supernatural about that?"

"In a fight, just plain folks miss sometimes. Maybe most times. You didn't miss once."

"What's the point of shooting if you're just going to miss? I'm as human as you are, Dresden. I'll see you later." 

Kincaid was insisting that he was a vanilla mortal for the entire scene, he was effectively saying "you're human and I'm human as well" when he said that.

I know it's probably soft, any theory based on any fact other than a WOJ or the word given in text from a being who is known to be unable to lie is subject to colouration as it is seen and heard through the eyes and ears of one Harry Dresden.  Conversations held with other characters may similarly contain  obfuscation and misdirection if not outright lies.

I take it that we read that passage entirely differently:

Quote
“... You're a liar”
“Excuse me?”
“I said you're a liar. I saw you fight at Wrigley, Kincaid. You fired a dozen shots, on the move and dodging bad guys the whole time."

This I took to mean that everything before Harry called Kincaid a liar to be false, Kincaid does not deny the lie, he redirects.  When he says he's just as human as Dresden is, I take this to be the only true statement he makes in the conversation, if for no other reason than that is the way I'd do it for dramatic flair – it makes for good storytelling (plus, Kincaid is a prick, I could see him saying something like this just to say “I told you so” later).  If I’m right about Kincaid's statements in Blood Rights, then: if Kincaid is a scion (which defines him as not fully human) Harry must in turn have something unnatural in his bloodline.  Unless I have evidence either of Harry's family tree or a WOJ saying I'm wrong, then 2 of four possible cases for this argument are equal.

1.) Harry and Kincaid are both not fully Human  {x}
2.) Harry is fully human and Kincaid is not        {x}
3.) Both Harry and Kincaid are fully human
4.) Harry is not fully human, but Kincaid is

I think we are reading too much in this. We know what Kincaid and Harry are and wether you think they are human is just a matter of definition. Neither is vanilla mortal.

Kincaid is just telling Harry to stop questioning and mind his own bussiness. Harry as the social sensitive person he is totally ignores that. Kincaid uses the opportunity to have some fun. He actually has a sense of humor.

I thought a changeling was a specific type of scion.  Is my interpretation of a scion incorrect?

"Why did Lea burn Thomas when she kissed him?"

Hmmmm...Think her madness was love?  White Court Vampires are burned by people who are protected by Love (who had sex with both parties being in love).  Wouldn't a Fae being in love be against their very nature?  Wonder if it was Harry's Father!

Could that be what incurred the debt for Lea she traded Maggie's (sr) love for protection for her son and husband at her death?  Part of that was love for Harry (mother to child) and harry's father.  That would explain why Lea sees harry as her child (godchild).

Supernatural creature + mortal = scion
Faerie + mortal = changeling

They're similar but not the same, Scions generally are either deformed or insane with a few ending up human-like IIRC, Changelings appear to consistently (or at least, no mentions of most of them dying young).

Lea's nature is to fall in love with creative mortals, feed their passion for their art so they are driven to perform better and more beautifully, maybe drink a little of their blood, and let them die an early death. It's possible that that love she feels for them and the love they feel for her is pure and true, even if it is something of a devils bargain.
You've managed- in our three years together- to kill not only my god, but my father, my brother, and my fiancée. That's kind of like a homicidal hat trick. It's a strange foundation for a relationship.
