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?"

At the end of everything, Jiang Cheng is somehow given a second chance at the disaster that had been his life. This time he will not be the one left behind as everyone he loves falls into darkness. He is sick of being saved; this time he will be the one to save them.

After all, he is Sandu Shengshou.

Summary
Jiang Cheng sat at his dressing table in the light of a single candle. It was so early in the morning the twilight of dawn had yet to brush the tips of the flowers outside his window. He sat there in silence pulling his hair up into its sharp style and thought of nothing as he did the same motions he had done a thousand times before. He felt hollow and almost numb as he sat there.
He leaned forward to grab his hairpiece and settled it neatly at the base of his knot, pausing to glance at his own eyes in the mirror and for a moment he stared at the pale blue eyes that looked back at him and that quiet emptiness faded as a rush of emotions roared up inside him crashing through his heart; anger, devastation, insecurity, betrayal, love, regret, guilt, hatred and oh how he hated.
He hated so much sometimes he thought he’d die with all the hate in his veins. He hated the Wens, he hated the world and he hated Wei WuXian. He hated him with crippling intensity, a hate so profound it matched the devastating love he still had for his brother. And he hated that too. He laid a trembling hand on his abdomen where that pulsing core sat, that awful, powerful, stolen core and what he would give to not know it was Wei WuXian's.
