Fatalistic by Windswift, (PG)
Fandom: YU YU HAKUSHO
Pairing: Hina/Hiei's dad
Author on LJ: n/a
Author Website: n/a
Why this fic must be read:
YYH fandom has dozens of stories about Hiei's quest for his sister and how being cast out as a Forbidden Child shaped his life. What we don't see a lot of are stories telling the other sides of the story.
Windswift shows us Hina after losing her child, and Yukina after forsaking her own people. She poses an interesting theory on why the Ice Maidens are so fiercely insular and gives us a vivid glimpse at how the birth of this child could have affected the women around him to the point that one died, and the other became determined to destroy her entire race.
When she was first ambushed, she avoided fighting because of her gentle heart.
Now, though, she does not fight back because she has become just like the koorime. And that means she does not deserve to survive. She does not deserve to be freed.
Hiei has always been her spark of hope. It seems a fitting analogy, from everything Rui has told her. A brightly burning baby boy.
The koorime, with their hollow hearts, are condemned to eternal icy emptiness. But his murderous fire will set them free.
Hiei is her hope, because he is their salvation.
She does not deserve a rescue. If she cannot redeem the glacial village by cleansing all their icy hearts with fire, then she will pay with her own.
