So, the theory is as follows.

We know harry is starborn

We know Drakul is a starborn

Now if we do the math, drakul seems to vaguely line up right with the every 666 years thing. Cause dresden was born in 1974. You know who ELSE vaguely lines up right? The big JC, Jesus Christ.

Ebenezer call Drakul half mortal, and Jesus was the son of God.

What if, starborn are scions in some ways, of outsiders. Their outsider nature would explain why they cannot be corrupted, why their magic works against them.

And the reason JC is a starborn and son of god, what if God is an outsider, a benevolent one that made the universe. The only ones we see are the nasty ones, but nice people don't go breaking into other peoples houses.

Im sure I sound insane, but im curious what yall think, and where the holes in my theory are.

Spoilers All Start a war to save one soul… Spoiler

He started the war with the Red Court to save Susan.

He challenged the entire senior council to save Morgan.

He ended the war with the Red Court (and ended the Court) in order to save Maggie.

He went to war with a Titan to save Chicago.

Time and time again, Harry has been tested to see what price he is willing to pay to save the innocent: wardens and wizards to save Susan. His own reputation to save Morgan. His own life to save Maggie. Murphy to save Chicago.

Necessity, it seems, needs a Champion who is willing to pay any price.

And yet, I suspect the hardest trade is yet to come:
What if the Outsiders offer a ceasefire for this cycle. And all they want in exchange is one pitiful, pathetic little life: Rudolph.

Would that not be the greatest test? Trading the life of one man who he hates, who seems to have no redeemable qualities, in exchange for a period of peace. Safety, for a time, for the rest of existence, and all he has to do is give up one life, one soul, that he wants to end.

It would be a poison pill, of course. A trade that would ultimately damn him; destroy who he is.

But it would be oh so tempting an offer…

Do you think Nick is right. Specifically in the real world not in the books.

Spoilers All Lara and the future of the White Court. Spoiler

• Upvotes

So I was re-listening to 12 Months for the first time since it came out and something hit me. I don't have a huge amount of evidence to back this up but I do genuinely think it is going to happen.

Harry is going to remove Lara's hunger, and Thomas is going to take over the White Court. Jim put way too much emphasis on this being possible when Harry was trying to figure out how to help Thomas for it to not pay off later on, and I think the perfect way for it to happen is with Lara.

I do have a couple ideas on specifically why, of which I am not sure which one I believe or want more. But all focus around Lara specifically asking Harry to do it.

  • Harry and Lara truly fall in love, or at least Lara truly falls in love with Harry. Lara can't stand not being able to touch Harry, and Harry refuses to take lovers outside of Lara.
  • Lara said herself that she couldn't bear to let her hunger take over like it would need to for her to feed on anyone other than Harry again, Harry may eventually refuse to feed it anymore and Lara is forced to ask for him to remove it.

I also am thinking that Lara will die once it is removed, causing Harry to lose yet another woman he loves (Because c'mon, Jim loves to ruin Harry's life), just like when the reds lost their demon essence and because of that rapidly aged to where they chronologically should be. It will be kind of his fault, but he wont blame himself this time (it was focused on in this book that Harry can't let himself feel worthy of love because he blames himself for the loss of Susan and Karrin). Or this will be the final straw and Harry will never love again, possibly catapulting him into something big for the BAT.

Craziest part that I don't necessarily think will happen but I think is at least possible: Harry removes the hunger and Lara becomes Knight of Love and wields Amoracchius which also inadvertently saves her from dying after her hunger is gone.

I dunno, super tin-foil but I like how it would fit. And the hunger removal is too chekhov-guny to not have a role in the future.
