Fics like Beholden

Jon's reflection is just as he remembers. A memory of getting ready this morning, another of spotting his reflection in a car window on the walk home. The details are recent, but they feel distant. Unblemished skin. Long, mostly-black hair. Tired eyes. What else would he look like? He leans in, looking at himself in the mirror. Unblemished? No, he can see them. The ghosts of little circular scars. Worms, he thinks, though he doesn’t know where the memory comes from, From Prentiss. Prentiss? As in Jane Prentiss? When did he encounter Prentiss? Is he being haunted by the ghost of himself, eaten to death by worms? But no, that’s not right.
