Ghost Story Prompts and meta

[dresden_kink_mods]

The Ghost Story spoiler period is expired; prompts, meta, discussion, etc. including Ghost Story spoilers can take place in the regular pages, but please consider your fellow fans, and continue to warn for spoilers. You can continue to use this post if you would like.


Change of plans, folks. Given the fact that Ghost Story spoilers are supposedly already floating around the web and the fact that there's an early limited release at Comic Con this weekend, we're going to start a Ghost Story specific post.

All GS related prompts, fills, discussion and meta go here so as to not spoil your fellow fans (at least the ones that don't want to be :D). All fills should follow posting guidelines, with the exception of GS meta going to the meta/discussion post. Questions? Ask the mods.

Or He Who Walks Behind was testing the Outsider-Bane thing. I assume that Margaret LeFay's allies might have known what she was trying to pull. (Whatever it was I do not know, but Harry was made to be Anti-Outsider-Venom)
So He Who Walks Behind and the other outsiders could really want Harry dead or plan on using his special bond with them to pull themselves over more than a normal mortal would be able to. I do not know.

AYRT:

There was just something about the flashback, with the fight. HWWB going 'There you are.' and seeming so very, very pleased by whatever it was he was seeing. Harry's willingness to do violence? His temper? I don't know. Maybe I'm reading too much into it.

I think the bond or connection with the Outsiders is going to be one of those things that cuts both ways. Harry really can control/influence Outsiders, but a power like that can't be all one way, can it?

Maggie Sr. was already working on some sort of plan with Papa Raith, and there's the whole, 'you know what he was meant to be' thing that the Council has going on about Harry. So I'm thinking that Harry's birth was planned while Maggie Sr. was on the dark side of the force. With, say, some random human as daddy. Then something happens that makes Maggie Sr. change sides. She runs away and, knowing that the good guys will need the power that the special kid will have, she goes through with the plan only without the kid being raised to be the future Evil Overlord or whatever. She intends for him to be raised by regular old humans, leaving him free to choose, only with the influence of Malcolm, who is such a really nice guy, she thinks he'll err on the side of the light. (Also, it's possible I've read Good Omens one too many times and it's influencing this theory.) But things don't go exactly to plan, of course. However, since Harry still exists, he can still be used for whatever it is that the dark side needs him for. They just have to apply the correct pressures and work around his unfortunate, for them, personality. So they plan on using him and killing him after he's outlived his usefulness. That's my really nebulous theory.

What about that part where HWWB calls him 'Child of the Stars' or something? Ideas?

Not as such. It means something, of course. But what? It's possible it's just a reference to the special alignments that were necessary for his birth. There was some confluence of events when Harry was born. So, Child of the Stars in that sense. Or a reference to the stars as agents of fate. Meaning that Harry is an instrument of fate. But those aren't really specific, of course because we still don't understand what Harry was meant for.

Personally, I think Harry is part whatever the Holy People of the naagloshii stories really were. Or, he could be part Outsider. Or both, if they're the same thing. Which they could theoretically be. Like, with SG1 and the Ancients/Ori.
