Have you read The Ones Who Stay and Fight, NK Jemisin's response to The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas? https://www.lightspeedmagazine.com/fiction/the-ones-who-stay-and-fight/
They are definitely a pair of stories I've pondered a lot!

  The Ones Who Stay and Fight - Lightspeed Magazine
  
  from Wendy Wagner
  
  It’s the Day of Good Birds in the city of Um-Helat! The Day is a local custom, silly and random as so many local customs can be, and yet beautiful by the same token. It has little to do with birds---a fact about which locals cheerfully laugh, because that, too, is how local customs work. It is a day of fluttering and flight regardless, where pennants of brightly dyed silk plume forth from every window, and delicate drones of copperwire and featherglass---made for this day, and flown on no other!---waft and buzz on the wind.
