in the first instance, about persecution and the choice between capitulation and (perhaps futile) resistance
Oh, that was so very well said. *g*
about the quest for knowledge/power and its transformative effects
Yes, I've always thought the quest for knowledge/power to be driving factor for Tom Riddle, and this fic used that very well. Not mention the writing, which is gorgeous.
If you can find more stories that meet these four criteria, I will scarf them up like candy.
I'm on the look out, as always. *g* As usual, there are numerous fics where the grey characters are reduced to black and white, where the authors try to solve the moral problems (and end up messing everything) - which makes the search slightly difficult.
Maybe I should ask the DONs in the house: what do you think Nikita's self-image was at the end of S5? It might be enlightening to hear your answers.
