589	So yes, he is most definitely on the side of good, but he has more than enough ruthlessness to qualify, especially with his Dark Willow gambit.

591	'''Any mitigating factors?'''
592
593	So here’s the thing - at the beginning of his run, Giles is more than useless. He’s a British stick in the mud who, while trying his best, tends to get knocked unconscious more than he helps. However, if there were a single character who defines the idea of growing into this over time, it is Rupert Giles.
594
595	'''Final verdict?'''
596
597	An absolute yes from me - what about you?

676	-> ''One of the oceanic survivors has latent psychic abilities and a suspicious background; Ben Linus is extremely concerned that it means she's more special than him--- a threat to his power. He might have to get rid of her. But there’s an undeniable connection between the two, an eventual fragile trust, and compassion. A team-up between the wary allies may be exactly what The Island wants.''

679	''A ray of hope'' is a ''Series/{{Lost}}'' fanfic written by [[https://archiveofourown.org/users/baroquedreamss/pseuds/baroquedreamss baroquedreamss]]. In it, the author adds three original characters to the story: Melissa Sharpe, Natália, and Bruna, a trio of thieves who were once investigating the mythical story of the Island only to end up crashing on it on Oceanic Flight 815. After largely spending their time minding their own business within the group, they get irrevocably entangled in the conflict with the Others when Melissa starts making friends with Henry Gale, the fake identity of Benjamin Linus.
680
681	The story can be read [[https://archiveofourown.org/works/31576184/chapters/78125867 here]] at Website/ArchiveOfOurOwn.

683	!!This work contains examples of:
684	* AdaptationalContextChange: In the show, the apparition of Christian that appears in Jacob's cabin is never explained, even after the reveal that the Man in Black can take the form of dead people. Here, it's confirmed to be the MIB manipulating Locke into moving the Island in order to put the candidates in danger.
685	* AdaptationalVillainy: In the show, while Ben killing Keamy also killed everyone on the Freighter, he was still portrayed very sympathetically, as he was blinded by rage over his daughter's death. Here, [[spoiler:Alex survived the attack]], so we get a very clear glimpse of his thought process as he knowingly condemns everyone on the Freighter to death as long as he can guess that Melissa isn't on it.
686	* ArmorPiercingQuestion: After Ben and Melissa clear the air regarding their mutual stabbings and why Ben thought he was betraying her, she asks him a question that finally makes him actually think about himself: though she concedes that this incident was an accident, will he still feel just as jealous and angry if she actually hears Jacob's voice?
687	* ContrivedCoincidence: When Melissa and Ben are trapped in a tree during a boar attack, the boar keeping them there stays long enough for them to discuss their past and reconcile their relationship. The moment that they work everything out, the boar immediately leaves, with the narration noting that it's almost like the Island ''wanted'' them to reconcile.
688	* {{Foreshadowing}}: When Ben kills Keamy, the narration mentions that [[spoiler:out of Melissa, Nat, and Bruna, only two of them made it onto the helicopter. Two chapters later, we learn that Nat stayed behind for what she thought would be a brief period, only for the Island to move before the helicopter got back]].
689	* GreenEyedMonster: After a lifetime of being Jacob's puppet and having to sacrifice everything, Ben gets insanely jealous at even the implication that he's showing favoritism to anyone other than him. Even the mere thought that he was reaching out to Melissa was enough to make him forsake his feelings for her and hold a gun on her.
690	* SpannerInTheWorks: The Man in Black intends for Locke to move the Island, as Locke is the easiest to manipulate out of the group and moving the Island would endanger the candidates. Unfortunately for him, Ben interprets the instruction to mean that ''he'' needs to move it, which leaves Locke on the Island to eventually stabilize it before any more candidates can die.
691	* WhatYouAreInTheDark: After escaping the Island, [[spoiler:Ben has the perfect chance to kill Gabriel guilt-free, since he's about to be targeted in a drive-by and all he has to do is just [[MurderByInaction not do anything]]. However, he can't bring himself to let Melissa be hurt again and saves his life]].
692	* XanatosSpeedChess: As always, the Man in Black is an expert at adapting his plans on the spot. In particular, when Melissa goes to enter the cabin with Locke (which would expose "Jacob" as an imposter), he quickly takes his smoke form, drags Nat away so that Ben and Melissa chase after her, then drops her in the jungle so he can quickly head back to the cabin and take Christian's form.
