    Summary

    Have you heard? Have you heard?

    They say Lotus Pier is haunted. They say the Yunmeng-Jiang are haunted.

    (Ghost stories are supposed to frighten you. Not make you feel sad, or guilty. But what are the unquiet dead but lingering regrets? What is a restless spirit if not mourners' feelings made manifest?)

    Whose fault was it?

    Summary

    He held A-Ling’s little body for hours, rocked him gently in his arms. He held A-Ling until the moment the late night inched into the next morning.

    This time, Jiang Cheng was awake when the world shifted. It took only seconds. The weight of his nephew vanished from his arms. The room around him warped, twisted, contracted.

    He opened his eyes, eyes he hadn’t closed, to morning light in his rooms at Golden Scale Tower.

    Yesterday. Again.
    -----
    There are many contenders for the worst day of Jiang Cheng's life.

    The Nightless City discussion conference has just won.

    And then he wakes up, and it hasn't happened yet. Jiang Cheng soon realizes that, against all odds, he's repeating one day, seemingly the only person who remembers the times before.

    Is it a curse? A second chance? A sick trick from a cruel spirit?

    Whatever the reason, one truth remains: Jiang Cheng has never been good at giving up, even when he can't seem to win.

    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

    In the wake of new, devastating revelations about Jin Guangyao, Lan Xichen is left reeling and adrift once more. Thanks to Jiang Wanyin’s unexpected kindness, he begins to find a measure of solace and healing in Lotus Pier. When his regard for the other man deepens into something more tender than friendship, Xichen finds himself grappling with feelings he never expected to have, uncertain if they can ever be returned. The last thing he expects is to be confronted with yet another horrifying secret—one that threatens to shatter them both beyond repair.

    Sequel to 'through constant pained disgrace.' Xicheng endgame.
