Fics like this debt we pay to human guile

An alternate ending to The Futile Facade (from the Rigel Black Chronicles by murkybluematter). SPOILERS for the Futile Facade. Laying it on a bit thick, isn’t he? Harry thought sardonically. Disgust rose up in her – abhorrence at the way she was being used, her victory manipulated to serve his ends, the way he’d manipulated this entire tournament. She could not let this stand. She pushed down the fear and panic at the thought of revealing the ruse, after everything they’d put into keeping it going and all the secrets they had kept close for so long. Sending a silent apology to Archie, since she had no way to warn him of what she planned to do, she made her decision and stepped forward.
