A Land Fit for Heroes - Richard Morgan - Is the sword Ravensfriend a sentient character?
Although Ravensfriend isn't explicitly sentient, it's capable of containing something like a soul (which ends up being used to transmit life to a human), it embodies a set of ideals that you could interpret as magically affecting its bearer, and the main character talks to it as if it were a companion. I could definitely see why someone would request fanwork for it as a character.
