Fics like I cry for mercy, mercy, mercy

A hand is on his arm now, a command to rise, but he cannot. He cannot. He is a dead man trapped in a body that still thinks and breathes, but a dead man nonetheless. Dead men do not rise, they do not walk away. More insistently, the hand tugs, his neck is pulled from the block and without instruction or cause, his knees unbend: he rises. The murmur of the crowd gives to a roar. It is 28 July 1540, and the axe never falls.
