    Summary

    A look into the relationship between Wukong and Macaque through three different world-ending disasters; a series of pushing buttons and crossing lines and struggling to figure out where they stand with each other after a millennia of distance--both hindered by desperately trying to convince the other that they're indifferent to the situation entirely.

    (title from 'Paint' by The Paper Kites)

    Summary

    “Are you in love, my friend?”

    In the depths of his mind, he tried to reach the ghost of laughter on a beach, but the tide continued to sweep it away with hysterical laughter and the violent collision of staffs.

    “I’m not sure.”

    “Do you want to be?”

    His silence was heavy as he contemplated the question. A choice. It’s always been one, he knows. Still, his answer came out forlorn. Vacant.

    “I don’t know.”

    Summary

    A guttural sound echoed through Flower Fruit Mountain. Macaque saw only half of the stranger approaching, but only heard his own mangled curses. Thick, hot blood dripped down his face, hanging at his chin, staining his fingers and clothes and heart. He blinked, and gods he couldn’t see and it hurt so much-

    Everything after was a blur – in a literal sense. He couldn’t see anything.

    He wondered if that was actually mercy in its own right, that way he didn’t have to see the gleaming, golden edge of Wukong’s staff as it plunged into him and the world finally, truly went dark.

     

    or: macaque and sun wukong, from their first meet, all the way to macaque's bitter end.

    Summary

    Feeling a little nostalgic, Wukong decides to pick up an old hobby he's rarely done these past few years following his retirement: Drawing.

    Like any other artist, Sun Wukong has a muse, of course!

    It just.. happens that he has forgotten what his muse has looked like. It has been a while since he had seen his muse.
