Fics like Just a Better Place to Die

Though Erik's dreams tell him to have faith in the Luminary, there isn't much reason for faith without his sister around. So when a mysterious voice offers to free his sister in exchange for the death of the Luminary, Erik figures he doesn't have anything left to lose. His mission is complicated by the fact that the Luminary turns out to be nothing like the untouchable figure of legend, and more like someone Erik could find himself following... Jasper knows what it is like to lose himself to despair, but even at his lowest point, he knows better than to fall for the false promises whispered into his ear. Yet after the Fall of Dundrasil, Jasper cannot help but notice the changes in the king he'd sworn himself to so many years ago, and finds himself torn between duty to his king and duty to his people. (Or, what if Mordegon approached Erik before his journey began, and what if Jasper never agreed to be Mordegon’s right hand man?) (Spoilers for Act One and Act Two (plus possibly Act Three). Title is from the song One Foot by fun.)
