Fics like Black Smoke and White Flame

The shadow made her an offer: stay in the castle with him, and the regiment would survive the harsh winter that had trapped them all in the ice-sheeted valley below. Alina paused. When the monster spoke, he seemed to gather himself together a bit more, pulling a simulacrum of a man out of the smoky gloom so subtly that it almost seemed like a trick of the light—shadows playing on shadows. “How do I know you’ll keep your word?” It was dizzying to look at the monster, especially as the wind whipped her lantern flame and cast flickering shadows throughout the room; he—Alina was fairly sure it was a he—seemed to be made of darkness itself, a shifting mass of smoke that coalesced rather than dissipated. “I have no reason to lie,” he said, his voice crackling like flames in a hearth. Alina furrowed her brow. “You have plenty of reasons to lie. What could you possibly want from me?” She must have been mad from hunger, because she swore the monster looked flustered, inasmuch as featureless smoke could look like anything. ~~~ A Darklina smoke monster Beauty and the Beast AU.
