Summary
Everyone has their own resolution for the s02e18 break up. Here's mine. It comes in moments, not grand gestures.
"What would he have done, Magnus?" Jace asked coolly, one foot already out the door. "If it had been you, if you were the one to mess up, what would he have done?"
They both knew the answer to that, and it broke Magnus' heart all over again.
"Stayed," Magnus finally whispered, shattering whatever illusions he'd been clinging to since the day he left Alec at the infirmary.
"He would have stayed."

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
Jiang Cheng was dying.
The healer was just one of many who’d arrived at the same conclusion—they had no idea how to break the starvation curse ravaging his system.
At first, Jiang Cheng had been furious, but as the weeks passed, profound relief washed over him. He'd never realized how tired he was. The thought of closing his eyes to rest and never having to wake up again seemed...peaceful. A quiet end to a life of anger and bitterness and guilt.
It was more than he deserved.
