    Summary

    Boggart yaos are deadly shapeshifters that scare their victims to death by taking the shape of their worst fears. Their true form has never been seen by anyone in recorded history…until now.

    A post-canon Xicheng fic.

    "You wish to know why the boggart yao did not take on a form when it faced me?" he asks. "What should I have left to be afraid of, I wonder? Losing my parents, my siblings, my home? The shidis and shimeis I grew up with? Or should I fear failing my duty to my sect by remaining unmarried and heirless? Perhaps I should be scared of failing those I love the most."

    He risks a glance towards Wei Wuxian and Jin Ling, and instantly regrets it. Wei Wuxian is in tears, and his nephew doesn't look a whole lot better. Breathing in deeply, Jiang Cheng looks at Lan Xichen instead, drawing strength from the steadiness of his presence.

    "What form could a boggart yao take for me," he finishes, "when everything I ever feared has already come to pass?"

    Summary

     

    When Wei Ying died, he really did believe it was for the best.

    It had been months in the making—years if he was being honest. His resolve to live was like a cliffside that the ocean’s waves beat against again and again and again. And he did try, really, to live. He tried so hard, that was the worst part. He had tried so hard to live that, when he finally did make the decision to die, the only thing he regretted was all of the wasted effort he had put into pretending like everything would one day be alright.

    That he would wake up one day and feel okay.

    That he wasn’t irrevocably damaged beyond repair.

    or

    Wei Ying commits suicide only to wake up 13 years later in another man's body.
    He gets another chance, whether he wants it or not.

    Summary

    All it takes is a chance encounter between a young cultivator dressed in olive and gold and the son of a prostitute to send the world barrelling full speed in a new direction.

    (Aka exploring what might have happened if Meng Yao was made privy to what a scumbag his father was much earlier. And oh, he adopts a bunch of younger brothers in the process.)

    Summary

    Lan Zhan dies two years before canon and promptly wakes up in the library at Cloud Recesses right across from Wei Wuxian, napping facedown in a pile of copywork.

    He has a lot of questions. Is this the afterlife? If it's not, then is he alone with his memories? And most importantly, what does he need to do to keep his soulmate alive this time?

     

    Wei Ying did not stir as he knelt down by the desk. It had been so long since Lan Zhan had seen those beloved features and even longer since he’d been allowed to either get or stay this close to Wei Ying.

     

    He looked so different from Lan Zhan’s memories; apple cheeked, clean, and relaxed.

     

    Lan Zhan clamped both hands over his own mouth to stop the pained noise that threatened to escape him. Hot tears spilled down his face as he watched the young, safe, and whole boy sleep. His stomach cramped with the effort of holding the sound in, but he’d sooner die than wake Wei Ying up.
