DA: I wrote the prompt for Let Him Be Wicked Still (and ~LOVED~ the fill SO MUCH) because I am sooooo here for exploring the grey areas of morality. Making good people do bad things, making bad people do good things - hell, blurring the line between "good people" and "bad people" as much as possible. I would read the shit out of Alexander Pierce redemption fic if someone could make it convincing.

I've noped out of most of the Rumlow redemption fics I've found so far for the reasons you describe, so I'm super grateful for these recs, neither of which I've come across before :)
