Fics like Severance

Halfway up the staircase the fog descends, thick and unmistakable. Wolf pauses for a moment, waiting for the inevitable terror as the haze spills down the boards of the stairs like liquid. He’s felt this before— the way fear crawls through his veins and eats him alive. Felt the horror filling him when he struck out at a monster that used to be a man again and again only to find his weapons useless, pawing through his satchel for anything that might keep him alive. The fog of the Headless clings like something living as he finishes ascending the stairs, the open space at the top of the castle bathed in mist, except something is wrong. He moves through it easily instead of being bogged down like he’s walking through deep water. There is none of the dread Wolf knows so well now, none of the cold or the cloying scent of rot he associates with the Headless. The fog is warm, curling around Wolf’s body as though seeking affection, the faint scent of lotus blossoms in his nose. Being back here has Wolf’s chest tight, his throat sore. The way he feels when he’s lost a battle and has to retread the same ground. Wolf didn’t lose a fight, but there was still loss, and it unfurls in him like smoke.
