    Summary

    “It’s rude to talk about people behind their backs, you know that, right, Gojo?” Toji’s voice is low and there’s something threatening about it, a rasp that makes Satoru imagine a sharp blade cutting through a piece of meat.

    Satoru’s throat twists up in a knot. “I heard it’s even ruder to eavesdrop.”

    Toji smirks. Satoru does not like it. He can’t read Toji, he can’t figure out what anything about him means as his gaze travels up his legs and meets his green eyes. Satoru doesn’t like the silence and the void coming from him.

    “Satoru,” Suguru says behind him.

    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

    ‘They stripped me,’ Jiang Cheng said, ‘and made me lie down, and they tied my hands and feet. I’d never disrobed in front of anyone but my brother and sister before then, and I never have since. And then…they had the whip. One of them let it hang down so that I could see.’

    He paused, looked down and away. For a moment his face almost seemed to soften.

    ‘I tried to be quiet,’ he said. ‘There was nothing else to do, after all. And for about three strokes, I was.’

    Summary

    Strange didn’t even want to be married to him, but the implication that he was anything less than a perfectly desirable partner and suddenly he was offended. “I’m a fantastic catch. If anyone was going to be the weak link in this marriage it wouldn’t be me.”

    Now Tony was the one offended; him, the weak link? How dare. “Excuse you. I’d be a devoted partner. Devoted. You wouldn’t know what hit you. You’d feel absolutely cherished.” Yes, Tony had a lot of faults, but lack of dedication to a partner, when he actually had a partner—which, admittedly, had been rare—was not one of them.

    “Oh good,” Wong said, hanging up the phone and handing it back to Tony. “You two can be a wonderful, devoted couple for the next year.” He clapped his hands together with a sense of dooming finality. “Congratulations on the marriage.”
