Fics like Grasping a Root in the Stumbling Dark

"It goes thus— There is a man who cannot die. . . . You wake with Mal’s foot digging into your shin." ... What is power worth in another girl’s hand? What good is it if you close the fist? What kind of person finds a door in death and leaves it shut because the key was stolen? What kind of person hears her people crying and says, forgive me, I did not come by this power honestly? What do you owe the girl whose life you are spending? What do you owe the people who will die if you give it back? How far will you reach with your stolen hands? Whose name will you answer to when you come back? Or: does it count as coming back wrong if it was never your body to begin with? Alina Starkov Body Snatcher SI/OC (Get in, losers. We’re gazing upon the blood-soaked machinery of a broken system and burning it all down.)
