Some major spoilers for The Dresden Files follow. I'm going to quote from the annals of Dresden's badassery, then propose questions. If you haven't read the books, press the "Back" button, if you ever plan to read the series.
Quote is below.
Someone crosses the line. Murphy dies. Dresden knows who did it.
Three questions: Who did it? Why? And how much of Chicago will survive?
This assumes that pesky things like "morals" don't get in the way. I'm thinking that this would have to happen way down the timeline. Maybe the Council is gone?
I'm thinking that Dresden would start the party by going to Mab. Sure, Dresden has always been a "burn the world in fire" kind of guy, but when it comes down to it, ice will suffice. ( :headbanger: )
Next up comes Demonreach. I'm pretty sure that Dresden could do some NASTY NASTY things on his sanctified ground. Set up some wards, try to set things up so that the battle will happen there. Try and figure out where to position allies (see below).
Thirdly: Bob. Remember that thing about Bob being Kemmler's familiar? Yeah. Dresden has access to Bob. He's read the Word of Kemmler. He knows has to perform a ritual of great and terrible power that makes the user a demi-god.
Fourth, item creation. Any items he's made that could make a comeback? Potions, talismans, weapons? Hell, how about one of the Swords? On that note, Hellfire/Soulfire?
Lastly come allies. Molly, Kincaid, Ivy, Ramirez, whatever Warders are around (Luccio?), the Alphas, Toot-toot (FOR THE ZA LORD!!!), the Winter Court, Leanan Sidhe (probably not), Sanya, Marcone and Gard are all the people I can think of off the top of my head who might be able to help. Thomas is out for having gone to the Dark Side, and the Senior Council is, I am assuming for the sake of this fic, toast.
So. Anyone intrigued? I may or may not write this, but I do want to see what would happen if something pushed Dresden to really call in all of the favors he's owed.

Harry: "I've got a fallen angel tripping all over herself to give me more power. Queen Mab has asked me to take the mantle of Winter Knight twice now. I've read Kemmler's book. I know how the Darkhallow works. And I know how to turn necromancy against the Black Court. So once again, let me be perfectly clear. If anything happens to Murphy and I even think you had a hand in it, fuck right and wrong. If you touch her, I'm declaring war on you. Personally. I'm picking up every weapon I can get. And I'm using them to kill you. Horribly. Do you understand me?"
