#Surprising no one I have a hard time shutting up about MK

tagged by @little-cereal-draws Thanks! :)

I have an AO3.

How many fics do you have on ao3?

12 Works. (soon 13) I say works because three of those were collections that included three parts each. (the 'what we are' series. And then there are the collections of short stories ('moon phases') in which each chapter is a new story. Also there is the other collection of shorts ("Choices Made") that is the prompt list for October in 2022. So.... A lot.

What's your total word count?

197,714 (over the span of 1.5 years)

What fandoms do you write for?

Moon Knight, Werewolf by Night, and Digimon.

Top five fics by kudos

Complications and Solutions (234) What we believe part 3 (193) What we see part 1 (179) Moon Phase Series (165) Front stuck (158)

Do I respond to comments?

Very rarely. I do read every single one of them and save the ones that really make my day in a special place. I just don't like cluttering the comment section. But I DO respond to messages. And they are always open.

What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

I don't do sad endings. I always end on hope. Even if it isn't happy or resolved, I always end on hope.

What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

I don't know... I tend not to end on super happy, either. Maybe "Front stuck" or one of the shorts.... "Professor" maybe?

Do you get any hate on any fic?

Not that I'm aware of. I figure if they don't like it, they just click away and don't tell me about it. And I'm fine with that.

Do you write smut?

I have written 6 smutty fics (they are out there under a different name. I will not tell you where. No one ever reblogs them because people only ever like smut fics and on Tumblr no one ever comments on them.) for a total of 79,187 words. .....which means that I have actually written 276,901 words in the span of 1.5 years..... The smut fics do have heavy plot. I lack the ability to just write smut.

But this particular account is my clean account. So all stories in this account will skip over the smut.

Do you write crossovers?

I have written one cross over fic for Moon Knight and Werewolf by night!

Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not that I know of.

Have you ever had a fic translated?

I've had people ask. I don't know if they've ever actually been translated.

Have you ever co-written a fic before?

Not in the past ten years. And that fic is long gone.

What's your all time favorite ship?

I don't know that I "Ship" people anymore. Not in the sense that the word used to mean back in the day (I'm old). I love to read relationships with Moon Boys x Layla, Ken x Daisuke (Digimon), Moon boys x Frenchie.

What's a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

I have two original stories I will probably never finish. I have a third that is very VERY close to being finished. Someday... I finish my fanfics.

What are your writing strengths?

Abstract concepts and emotions.

What are your writing weaknesses?

Eating scenes. I don't know why I always include everyone sitting down to eat a meal in all my fics. I hate writing them. But for some reason the table is a sit down and hash things out setting for me and then they always have food. Why do I hate myself?

Thoughts on dialogue in another language

Google translate is my abusive lover. I try not to have conversations in other languages because I don't know those languages and I don't want to upset anyone. Maybe I'll toss in a word or two, but it makes me nervous.

First fandom you wrote for?

Digimon. One fic that was started in 2001. Finished in 2012. Roughly 113,077 words. Someday I'll migrate it from FF.net to AO3.

Favorite fic you've ever written?

Surprising everyone but the one person that actually knows me personally, it's for Digimon. It's where my name comes from! "Drifting Pieces". That was a labor of love.

Since this is a Moon Knight blog, my favorite Moon Knight fic is a one shot that got zero love. People don't really go for one shots I guess? It's my favorite because it's incredibly personal and something I had to deal with in real life. "Tomb". I suppose it's understandable that it got no love because unless you have had to experience this very specific thing yourself, you won't understand it.

Tagging: Anyone that has an AO3 that wants to!

Warnings/Tags: Just some tooth-rotting fluff and very brief mention of mortality. Word Count: 600+ words

Wow! You and the monkey king! What a pair of peaches you two are!

Did he make the first move or you? Surprisingly, I think you would have to be the one to make the first move. Obviously, Wukong could have easily done it—we all know how assertive and confident he is, but perhaps he wanted you to do it to see just how serious you are about courting him. 

Sometimes, he'll drop certain hints or try to steer you in the right direction to confess. Things like 'I wouldn't mind if you stayed longer', 'You hungry? I know a great place we can eat at, just the two of us though', or 'We would look really good together wouldn't we? Ehh, maybe not…who knows?' 

After you make that first step and confess, he'll act surprised before asking what took you so long to say anything. Wukong will tease you for weeks on end about how long you took to confess if you don't shut him up

Anyway-

Where do y'all usually do dates? Your home, his home(s), festivals, and rarely do the two of you go outside of China for dates unless Wukong is feeling extra adventurous. Since he's retired, Wukong has a lot of time on his hands when he's not helping MK save the world or training his successor. Other than the locations, I think Wukong would have a lot of things on his 'bucket list' for the two of you to do. 

Gifts? Oh, oh, be prepared to be swamped with gifts ranging from random flowers that remind him of you, bugs, artifacts, and other extravagant things you couldn't possibly fit in your home. It wasn't until you piped up about the bugs did Wukong stop with the creepy crawlies. 

PDA? Of course, but depending on your preference he can be full-on touchy and obnoxiously sweet, or he could be discreet and have a hand on you somewhere. Just expect to be kissed, hugged, or touched in some way every five minutes or so.

If PDA truly bothered you, Wukong would refrain from doing anything–but when the two of you are finally alone he'll stick to your side like glue and it'll take a while for you to peel him off of you. Good luck ^^' 

First kiss? Perhaps after the first few dates you two shared your first kiss together.  

How he acts around them vs others: I think Wukong would act the same, just more handsy and playful compared to others. Bickering about trivial things, pinching you at random times but not enough to hurt, getting in your face to stare at you whenever you aren't putting your full undivided attention on him, and that kind of stuff. 

Of course, there's the omission of information and white lies that you will not tolerate. Wukong could fool others, but you wouldn't stand for dishonesty especially while the two of you were in a committed relationship. 

At first, it was hard getting Wukong to understand this boundary, but not every relationship is perfect–still, trying to break habits that have lasted for who knows how long is VERY difficult. That's why the two of you started off with the little things. Sure, Wukong slips up from time to time, but he genuinely is putting in an effort to not withhold information from you whether it's regarding life-threatening situations or things like how he is feeling. 

Wukong would definitely take every chance to show off to you, especially whenever he was teaching MK. Sparring without his top, taking a few moments to flex in certain angles–he'll even blow you a few kisses from time to time. 

And you'll eat that shit up every.single.time.

Generally, you're going to need to have a lot of patience and be open-minded when dating Sun Wukong. If the relationship could be described with one word then it's a rollercoaster. There's the ups and downs, perhaps a lot of downs (like the fact that he's going to outlive you), but you wouldn't have had it any other way.

Have you ever considered Mechanic!abby 🫣 like peeking up readers skirt from under that lil roller thing covered in grease😩 girls deserve to be pounded on the hood of a truck as a treat

OOOUUUUUUUU🙈🙈🙈😝😝🫦🫦 i like how ur mind thinks

i kinda got carried away and ended up with this detailed creation LOL i’ve been wanting to write abt abby for a while and took advantage of this request

— OIL CHANGE ★ 𝐚𝐛𝐛𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧 𝐱 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫

warnings: y/n is quite the raunchy gyal, y/n also has like a sorta y2k hot pink fem vibe, lowk perv abby, mentions of drinking, pet names, smut, heavy petting, oral (r!receiving), making out, the knee thing (ikik it has a clutch on my im j rlly gay)

yall read the requestttt😝😝

not proofread

“Lev!”

Silence.

“Leeeeeevvvv!!”

Silence.

“LEV!!”

“Um. I don’t think Lev is here.” A voice chipped from the front desk.

Abby tumbled through the door from the backroom of the auto-shop behind the counter, her face pink from what could’ve been heat or embarrassment and her eyes wide.

“Uh- Im so sorry I thought he was still around. I mean, he was like five seconds ago.” Abby laughed, her hand scratching the back of her neck. Y/n laughed, leaning her elbows on the counter.

“What you doing here y/n?” Abby asked, surprised by the sudden appearance. Abby had known y/n from around. She was a friend of many of Abbys friends and the two had partied together a few times, but had never actually gotten to know each other privately.

Pretty much all Abby knew about in regards to y/n was that she was incredibly attracted to her. The very first time they’d met, their friend having brought them both along to a party at a club a few months ago, Abby had interacted with the girl and immediately wanted her. Her hot pink dress that hugged her figure tightly and lips that glimmered with gloss that night called to her. Her cheeky and brazen personality read brat all over it with tons of pink glitter dumped on it and Abby wanted a taste of it.

Now was the first time Abbyd seen her in a casual situation and she couldn’t help but swallow harshly at the sight that her style didnt water down even slightly on a daily basis.

Her tightly cropped pink long sleeve, the hem of the sleeves decorated with a lighter pink fur, and tiny denim skirt that showed the entirety of her legs had Abby eyeing her up and down the second she caught a glimpse of her full figure.

“Needed to get the oil of my car changed and i remembered that youre like the car genius.” Y/n said, batting her eyelashes prettily at the muscular girl.

Oh she shouldnt be real. Abby thought to herself.

“You’ve come to the right place pretty. Pull the car round back.” She instructed, throwing a hand towel over her shoulder.

“Yes ma’am.” Y/n said coyly, walking backwards for a second to flash a slick smile, then turn around and walk out, Abbys eyes pasted on the back of her legs the seconds she turned. Her eyes lingered, like if she stared hard enough the skirt would lift even the slightest of an inch and show the bottom of the supple skin of her ass.

When Abby caught herself staring, she shook her harshly. You’re worse than a man. She reprimanded herself.

Walking out to the back, Abby set up her tools as she watched y/n pull into the marked spot on the concrete, her black ford fiesta decorated with stickers in the bumper and there was a thin pink line that was painted onto the sides. Abby couldn’t help but giggle at the large pink dices hanging from the interior rearview mirror.

Abby loved y/ns femininity and the way she wore it with no remorse or hesitation. She wore it for no one but herself. The men that dogged after her faced brutal rejection because she didn’t dress like that to appeal to them. No, she didn’t even like men like that. She did it because thats who she is.

And oooohhh the way that made Abby feel.

As y/n hopped out of her car, throwin her keys and purse into the passengers seat and shutting the door.

“Mk you can sit over there this wont take long.” Abby said, pointing to the row of chairs against the wall next to the car.

“Ou how luxurious.” Y/n sneered. Walking towards them.

Abby snorted and began getting to work, placing a tire lifter under one of the tires and securing it in the air.

Y/ns eyes lingered on Abbys arm as she pumped the car up, her braid falling over her shoulder and to hang next to her face. Her white tank was already painted with grease from her past jobs. In all honesty, y/n was at the car shop for more than just an oil change.

Saturday from last week was why she was really there. A party at a gay club that their mutual friend invited them both to and after an hour there led to Abby and y/n having quite the tantalizing conversation. A few shots of tequila in, Abby ended up sat on a bar stool, y/n standing between her legs slightly too close to me merely friendly. They’d interchanged slight backstories like where they worked, how they met their mutual friends, and the recents of their love life. That was the main reason that y/n was here.

Nah im not seeing anyone. Not looking for nothing serious really just like wanna fuck around with pretty girls. Abby said, close to y/ns face as to hear each other over the music.

If you’re fucking around with pretty girls than how come we haven’t. She responded, turning her head to talk into Abbys ear with a sly smile.

What do you think im trying to do right now dummy?

But that night ended up with y/n running out the club with her friend who was drunk beyond comprehension, rushing to get an uber to take the two of them to her house.

Y/n loved her friends and would never be mad at having to take care of them in a given situation, but damn it if she said she wasn’t cursing her friend shed be lying for losing the developing flow between her and Abby.

So when her friend had suggested to y/n she should get her oil changed, she caught the opportunity shes been looking for to get ahold of Abby, considering they never got the chance to interchange numbers before y/n had to leave.

Y/n was distracted from her phone when she heard Abby say something from under the car, her back laid on a wooden rolling plank to slide in and out from under.

“Sorry what?” Y/n asked, standing up and walking to the side Abby was.

“When was the last time you got it changed?” She repeated, Sliding out from under and sitting up, to wipe her hands.

“Hmmm like a year and a half maybe?” Y/n shrugged.

“Should’ve called me up sooner.” Abby said, looking up at the girl from her seat.

“I would’ve if i had a way to do so.” She responded, crossing her hands in front of her chest and leaning back against the pillar next to the parking stop.

“You have to light three candles and say my name into a mirror.” She quipped, making y/n laugh.

Suddenly, y/ns phone rang urgently and she looked down at the contact.

“One sec.” She said before answering, pushing herself off the pillar and turning around.

Abby laid back down on the plank, ready to go back under the car but before she did shoe caught a glimpse of lilac between y/ns thighs. From this angle, Abby had a clear view of y/n’s ass, the soft supple skin that peaked down. Abby couldn’t help but lick her lips, rather excited by the view.

Abruptly, y/n turned back around which sent Abby to frantically whip her head and search around her for some tool she didn’t even know she was looking for.

Little known to her, Y/n had caught it, realizing exactly what Abby saw.

I knew wearing good panties would pay off.

Y/n hung up the phone and walked towards Abby. “Sorry it was a friend of mine. Lost her cat and shes freaking.”

“Don’t worry. This shouldn’t take that much longer.” Abby said, going back under the car on the plank and continuing her work.

Y/n stood watching Abby work, her knees bent out from under the car, being lifted enough for y/n to see glimpses of Abbys arms and face. God she wanted her.

Walking up to the car, she leaned against it next to where Abby laid. “So what have you been up to? Been fucking around with some pretty girls lately?” She snorted.

Abby chuckled from underneath. “Wouldn’t you like to know.” She responded, her sultry voice muffled.

“Im just so curious Ab.” Y/n giggled, extending the o in so.

Abby rolled back out from under the car and laid eyes on the girl standing against the car, her arms crossed in-front of her chest and her legs crossed over each other. She had a mischievous glimpse in her eye, one that Abby wasn’t sure how to dissect considering it was always present in her eyes.

Y/n brought her leg forward and lightly kicked Abbys leg with her platform.

As she extended her leg, from beneath Abby could clearly see her clothes mound, her eyes frantically running around trying to avoid looking so obvious. When her eyes fell onto y/n’s own, she saw the bashful smirk on her lips and the tilt of her head.

She knows exactly what shes doing.

Abby stood up, quickly towering over the girl in pink. Out of instinct, y/n pressed her back against the car as Abby got closer.

“Is this what you came down here for?” Abby sneered, darkness growing within her eyes. Y/n looked up at the muscular girl with round eyes, her bottom lip catching in between her teeth.

“What is it baby? You want me to fuck you, is that it?” She said, confidence bubbling in her chest as y/n’s hand pressed onto her chest and looked up at her.

“You’ve kept me waiting Abs.” Y/n groaned.

“Me?” Abby chuckled, her hands coming up to the girls waist. “You’re the one that left running the other night.”

Before y/n could even think of replying, Abbys lips pounced on hers, the kiss immediately heated and desperate.

Their bodies pushed and pulled against one another’s, hands clawing at each other and the noises coming from their mouths obscene.

Abbys lips jumped from y/n’s own and onto her neck, biting and sucking at the space below her ear. Y/n breathed heavily, faint whines leaving her lips at the feeling of Abbys knee pressing against her clit, the heat of the denim and cotton in between their bodies sending bolts through y/ns spine.

Abbys hand wandered below y/ns top, her hand kneading and palming her breasts, the combination of stimulation making y/n automatically rock her hips lightly against Abbys thigh, searching for any kind of release.

Abbys tongue shot into y/n’s mouth to drown the growing moans tumbling from her lips.

“Keep quiet for me pretty girl.” Abby instructed before collapsing to her knees before the pink clothes girl.

“Fuck.” Y/n hissed under her breath at the sight of the larger girl sitting on her knees and looking up at her, her fingers hooking onto the lilac panties blocking her way.

“This ok?” Abby asked, her thumbs caressing the soft skin on y/n’s hips. She desperately nodded im response, Abby shaking her head.

“No baby, words.” She instructed.

“Yes Abby- please.” y/n babbled, her hands coming to push strands of hair that had falles out of Abbys braid behind her ear.

With a shit eating grin, Abby pulled down y/ns panties, wetness pooling on the material that made Abby groan.

Diving beneath the skirt, she didn’t wait for a second to lick a long, painfully slow stride along her, separating y/ns and ending with a flick on her clit.

One of y/ns hands flew to the back of Abbys head, the other cupping over her mouth to stifle the moans that fell from her lips.

Abby went to town on y/ns burning pussy, sucking and flicking in places that made y/ns body twitch and whine.

Her tongue caught itself in y/ns clenched hole, teasing it repeatedly as she felt y/n pulsate around nothing, pleadingly trying to grip onto anything given.

“Oh fuck Abby.” Y/n mewled, making Abby groan into her, the vibrations on her clit making her to fold forward slightly.

Abbys hand came to the back of y/n’s thigh, lifting it up and placing the back of her knee on her shoulder, the newfound angle almost making y/n scream as Abby went down on her.

“Shit Abby- Im close.” Y/n moaned, her grip on the girls hair tight and burning, making Abby more and more feral by the second as Y/n’s hips rocked against her face.

“Cum for me baby.” Abby mumbled into y/n’s mound, the very vibrations of her words sending y/n over the edge.

Y/n’s legs shook, her thighs coming to squeeze around Abbys head, her mouth falling open and her eyes squeezing shut. The rope within y/n’s stomach snapped and Abby didn’t falter her lapping on her pussy, breathing in and licking up all of y/w wetness as it dripped down her chin.

When y/n’s moans of pleasure started becoming whines of overstimulation, Abby separated, pulling up y/n panties that rested at her ankles.

When she stood back up, y/n immediately gripped her by the back of the neck and slammed into her, tasting her own juices on her lips.

“You’re good at that.” y/n laughed lightly as the two barely separated.

“Why thank you.” Abby snickered back.

Y/ns phone rang, sitting on the top of the car. When she reached for it and saw the contact, she sighed, swiping to pick up the call.

“Yes?” Y/n said sourly into the phone, Abby smiling into her neck at her attitude as she pressed kisses into it. “Are you for real right now?” She groaned. “Ill be there in 30.”

Y/n hung up the phone and Abby rose her head again. “The change is done. I just gotta make sure everything screwed it well.” Abby said, her face not even closely suiting the words coming out if her mouth considering she had a big smile plastered onto her lips.

“Perfect. What do i owe you?” Y/n asked referring to the oil change.

“A date.” Abby said without hesitation.

Y/n laughed at the sureness and placed her hand on Abbys chest.

“Consider it paid.”

Birthday Night

Hello! This is a birthday gift for my pookie wookie even tho her bday was a few days ago <3 Love youuuuu

Words: 792

Published: 3/8/2024

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The sound of the front door shutting echoed throughout the calm house. Shoes kicked off and sat cozily in the entryway, and coats hung from the hooks near the door. Sighing, Y/n threw off her shoes and placed her scarf and coat next to each other on the hooks. She had just gotten done with being dragged from place to place all around the city by her best friends, Mk and Mei, for her birthday celebration. Now she was finally home late at night and genuinely ready to collapse. Slowly, Y/n shuffled her way into the kitchen, the warm smell of sweets wafting around her. A smile graced her features when she walked into the room to find her boyfriend hard at work decorating a cake and not noticing her come in. Not wanting to disturb him, Y/n leaned on the doorframe tiredly and listened to the mumbling coming from her partner. 

Soon enough, Y/n realized he would never figure out she was standing behind him. “Redson?” She asked gently, not wanting to scare her boyfriend. But her efforts were in vain, as the boy jumped in surprise and whipped around to face his love. “Oh Y/n! I didn’t think you’d be back so soon.” He spoke nervously, trying (and failing) to hide the cake behind him. “What do you have there?” The young woman asked, gesturing behind Redson. “Nothing! Nothing at all, haha!” His actions betrayed his words. A doubtful look placed itself on Y/n’s expression. Letting out a defeated sigh, Redson noticed it was time to show her anyway. Stepping out of the way, he let her see the cake he put his heart into making. 

The art on the cake couldn’t be described in words. It rivaled those of Van Gogh or Da Vinci. The icing depicted Redson, Y/n, and all their friends sitting on a couch and watching Y/n’s favorite show, Toon Quest. Awe filled her eyes when she saw it. The decoration was so detailed that she couldn’t form words to express her admiration and joy. Y/n turned to Redson, seeing him waiting for her reaction. All she could do in the moment was wrap her arms around him in a tight hug. Not being one for physical touch, Redson would’ve shoved her off and reminded her coldly how he hated touch. But something about the way Y/n held him, the way she spoke to him, the way she looked at him, the ways she’d acknowledge him and let him be heard, the way she loved. He wouldn’t even dare move her, slowly putting his arms around her too. 

The duo stood like that for a bit before Y/n pulled away, still smiling. Redson smiled back before remembrance struck him. “Oh, I got you a gift. Sit down, please.” He told her as he walked to the living room, returning a few seconds later with a small box. Y/n found her spot at the circular dinner table and waited patiently. Her partner sat down across from her and slid the box over. “Go ahead, open it.” A glimmer of anticipation was dancing through his eyes. Y/n quickly opened it, excited to see the present. When she got the wrapping paper off, a pure white box was left. Taking off the lid, Y/n carefully lifted a small wooden box from within and set it on the table. She gracefully opened up the wooden box as music began to move in the air. A soft tune, almost like a kalimba, of Ladyfingers wafted elegantly throughout the room. Astonishment rang through Y/n’s face as she watched two small figurines spin in a circle at the center of the box. The figures were dressed in formal wear, but she could immediately recognize them as her and Redson waltzing. On the inside of the box’s cover was a photo of the couple. The very first photo they took together. It was the two of them on top of a nearby skyscraper, watching the sunset. As the music began to come to a close, so did the night. 

Redson stood up and held his hand out to his lover. “May we?” 

“We may.” Y/n accepted his hand as he brought her to the living room, grabbing two pieces of cake on the way. Redson quickly switched on the television and put on the newest episodes of Toon Quest. They settled down on the couch, both with a piece of cake in their laps, and snuggled close. Y/n leaned on Redson that it looked like they belonged in a jigsaw puzzle. The light of the TV cast a soft glow in the unlit room. 

“Happy birthday, dear.”

Not knowing that his surroundings were getting further and further from flower fruit mountain leading to the edge That's when The unusual baby monkey ran inside some kind of His passage way and slammed the door shut behind him.

Wukong Finally got to the passage way and tried to open the door but it wouldn't budge , no matter how hard he pulled on it. That's when he remembered that the weird doll. He got had a key with it. So he decided to take a while to guess and use it on the door. Surprise, surprise it worked, and when he opened it. He noticed a jade portal Leading to the other end. Wukong put his guard up and cautiously walked through the portal And he got to the other end he walked into a living Room the size of a palace it was that luxurious. Wukong look around for a little bit to see if you can find the unusual baby monkey when he heard humming that was leading towards What appeared to be a kitchen. Wukong Finally got to The source of the humming before finding a kitchen That was just as big if not bigger than the living room. And in the middle was a female Black monkey Set Up the dining table.

On a sidenote Wukong Is still trying to figure out where exactly this doll look alike of him came from He acted like he was flattered but secretly creeped out. One night once everybody was asleep. What's wrong with still wandering around? Not caring about the danger that everybody's making a fuss about. After all he's the monkey king who's gonna mess with him. Quickly growing bored. He decided to go back to the Inn and when he was heading back towards the room. Dad's when something ran over his foot when he look down you saw a bug Gross doubt and angry that something like that.

Ever since he was sent that doll looked alike of him, he's been extra cautious and it's gonna might have been a trap or something, but it seems like all that does just sit there and stare at him. He won't ever admit it but it's kind of creepy. One night when Lee went out with his girlfriend. Wukong was by himself when he heard tiny feet??Wukong Became highly alert when he finally saw. I was making the noise oh a cockroach just what he needs He went off to try And kill it when it led him to a strange garage miniature door. It obviously never been here before But all the time he himself Scurried around He tried to open it But it wasn't budging that's He remembered the key That came with his Creepy doll and decided to use it on Interesting Enough it worked And when he opened the door A beautiful jade Tunnel that led to the other side of the wall maybe. Now he was really weird it out. He quickly put on his mask and Crawled into the tunnel. When he got to the other end, that's when he noticed. He walked into a luxurious living room area. Everything was shiny and golden and silver In some parts made him feel very under dress. Then Wukong He heard humming from down the hall and he slowly crept towards what seems to be the biggest kitchen he's ever seen and there he saw a female black monkey where her back turned to him.

(NR Wukong) Oh, hello beautiful. I'm terribly sorry. I may have accidentally barged into your home. I hope You can accept my apology and I will leave immediately

That's when the female black monkey turned right around to face him and what Not eyes but two shiny Pink buttons

(Y/N) Well handsome? I never expected you to be this polite , but you don't have to leave right away In fact I was waiting for you

For the first time in a long time Wukong Was absolutely speechless

(HIB Wukong) He was hanging out in the mountain area with his doll. Things have been getting out a hand in the village Seems like everyone's got a curfew now. He allowed Liuer To stay with one of the neighbors just for his safety Considering he's a male to while monkey king went and surveillance to place for anything suspicious. He thinks everyone is making a big deal out of nothing, and the men would eventually turn up. But there's already been 5. That was missing and that was more than enough to alert the whole village and the fear. After he searched the village to and found nothing. He went back to the mountain area to get some shut eye until he Notice something his doll wasn't anywhere to be found. At first he may have thought he dropped it, but he added with him the whole time. It was legit even holding it a bit. Then he saw something elsewhere. He found a bug scurrying across and he's never seen it before or anything like it. And it's like it knew he was looking at it because it picked up High speed And ran somewhere he definitely knew something was up. So he chased after it while looking for the doll too. That's when he saw not only the doll , but the bug that squeezed into a mountain passage. Wukong Wasted no time moving the rock just A jade portal leading to the other side. With upmost caution he crawled in with his guard up So far nothing is happening Until he finally reached the other side and entered a beautiful luxurious living room. Like what this was back here. Wukong still with his guard up walk continue to explore the area and the house he was in. Until he found what Was the biggest kitchen he's ever seen. By the counter was Cutting vegetables was a black female monkey with a pink Cheongsam dress

(HIB Wukong) Excuse me, I'm sorry. Did I accidentally walk in to your home? I'll leave immediately if

That's when the female monkey turned around and instead of eyes there was bright Orange Shiny buttons

(Y/N): My king you're just in time for dinner

Wukong had the shock of his life

(Netflix Wukong) Lin had begged him to stay at her house. Why? Because her village has now created a curfew for everyone to be inside their home At a certain time to reduce the disappearances. Wukong Was still not afraid of whoever is doing this or Whatever is happening But to ease Lynn's worries. He decided to crash on her place for the night just to show her That nothing will happen to him. After a while , the two fell asleep with the monkey king keeping the doll next to him until he heard a scurrying. Wukong Woke up at high alert grabbing his staff. Ready to attack the intruder? When all he saw was a tiny bug scurrying across the floor.

(Netflix Wukong) Wow you gave me a scare huh

As if the bug knew the king was watching it it picked up high High speed and ran Down the hall and to a closet. Wukong Knows that lynn hates bugs in her Home so he ran to quickly kill it before opening the door Something he knew was'nt there before. He sees an old looking mirror door He was Of it at first until he saw the same bug crawl under it so With the key that came with the door he found he opened the door and When he sees nothing but a jade portal. With That he cautiously walked in holding his staff right in front of Him.

When he got to the other side he walked into. What was the most luxurious living room he's ever seen. As he continued to look and awe he heard humming from down the hall. Monkey king kept his staff in front of him as he walked down to what was the biggest kitchen. He's also ever seen. And in the middle was a female black monkey. Uh oh It seems like he walked into somebody's house

(Netflix Wukong) Excuse me is this your house i'm sorry if I accidentally walked in

The female monkey turned right around to stare back at the king with Not only a bright smile but two bright Red shiny buttons.

(Y/N): I don't know why you're Apologizing this is your house too you know

This may sound embarrassing but there's a good chance he fainted

UHM. I would like to hear more abt purple child if u wanna share :3

hi i’m gonna preface this by saying this ask made me cry (/pos) it’s not that often that people ask abt my ocs and realizing that people like my stuff made me go bvbvbvbvbvbvbvwaaaaaaa.

ANYWAYS! emotional stuff over, gonna talk abt her!!!!

look if i’m being honest i threw all the backstory stuff into the polls so i’m not gonna elaborate much on that here bc i’ll sound like a broken record. however, i didn’t mention a lot of silly goofy fun facts and also the fact that she’s a victim of an oc x canon ship /silly

anyways!!! ramblings and associated art under the cut because this is gonna be LONG

- for starters!!! during the season 1 special, she wasn’t exactly deemed powerful enough to aid in the DBK takeover, so she mostly stayed behind and guarded the Flaming Foundry, making sure that no heroes or little thieves wandered in to take them down from the inside. this meant that MK and the gang hadn’t actually properly met her until the Great Wall Race, which caused MK and Mei go “what do you mean there’s another one???” and Tang was like “yeah she’s only mentioned in one legend, i’m not surprised you don’t know of her” said legend was her and Red Son’s birth. sad times

- she has been banned from wikipedia for editing her page to add info without sources one too many times

- her scar is actually from a sparring accident! red son burned her face bad and it rendered her practically blind in one eye, unable to open it. she’s researched all the healing magic she possibly could, but it never worked. partially because she doesn’t have much magic power, and partially because an injury like this is damn near irreversible. it was originally just an excuse for me to not have to draw her other eye but yknow the lore has to come from somewhere

- she suffers every day and for what. girlish whimsy/ref

- we’re getting to the yuri part now yeahhhhhhh!! i did mention that she ended up befriending mei during season 3 with the goal of taking the samadhi fire from her, except oops!!!! she’s starting to enjoy her company, seeing her as someone she genuinely cares about with her stupid jokes and annoyingly cute arrogance and sheer determination and willpower to save the people she cares about, she’s almost admirable with those eyes like stars and laugh that chimes like bells and disgusting optimism that makes Purple want to shut her up with a kiss whenever she says another one of her dumb hero speeches——oh crap those are not normal platonic feelings are they. nope nope nope shoving those in the box for later. to say Purple Child went through hell over this would be an understatement, but she’s fiiiiiiiiiiine. promise. it’s not like she’s absolutely terrified of letting her parents down by falling for someone they would surely disapprove of, even if she’s starting to work through her trauma. it all turns out ok tho. hopefully

- her & mei’s ship name is Grapes or Grapeshipping. this is cause of purple (well technically red. but they’re purple) n green grapes !!

- she writes as a hobby. she specializes in fantasy stuff inspired by ancient legends, but it’s a bit hard to do so if you’re a walking legend yourself and live in megapolis, china. in recent times she tried to publish a book under a different name but her publisher was immediately like “is this a modern slice of life story?” and needless to say the publishing office found themselves a victim of arson.

- her favorite food is pork wontons!

- she has a really bad problem with constantly feeling worthless and inadequate. this was caused almost entirely by her neglect from PIF and the shoes she has to fill of being the (technical) heir to the Demon Bull throne, yet not possessing the abilities worthy of the title of Crown Princess. if the demon bull family wasn’t basically immortal this would be more of a problem, but it still weighs on her.

- her ahoge is an actual, live flame. don’t touch it, you’ll get a second degree burn!

- Purple Child, compared to Red Son, seems to be the more… quiet out of the two. While Red Son was loudly proclaiming his plans, she was plotting to strike her enemies down in the shadows. She has always preferred to scope out the situation and act with caution rather than charging in headfirst.

- if she knew what kinning was, she’d kin franziska von karma ace attorney

i’m so sorry this got so long btw, i just get really excited when i get to talk bout my ocs ehheheh (and i’m sorry it took me a full day to answer i really wanted to draw some stuff for this)

Warning: noob author, dark theme, female child reader, yandere platonic characters, and others.

Characters: shadowpeach, dbk, freenoodles, waterspider/silktea, greenflames (mk x mei), spiderqueen, nezha.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Shadowpeach:

He had found you when he was fighting a demon who was dumb enough to try and kidnap his master and apparently that very demon had the egg you’re currently in, so they decided to bring you along for safe keeping until you hatched.

(I’m deciding to do this in the past since I didn’t really have a way to put sun in a fight that much plus I thought it would be a good and fun idea.)

You had hatched soon after and imprinted on sun some time into the journey later, they couldn’t do anything about it so they decided to go to sun’s home. When they all finally arrived to sun’s kingdom; flower fruit mountain, they weren’t expecting another monkey like sun but black aesthetic to punch sun in the face making him drop little (Y/n) who landed safely on the ground confused on what’s happening and don’t know what to do.

It was Tripitaka who was able to cool down his disciple mate and explain to him that sun did not cheat on him but actually in reality saved the little one when they came across a mishap on their journey which lead to macaque getting embarrassed and softly apologized to sun, who didn’t really care just as long as his mate know he wouldn’t do something that terrible to him and added how macaque looked hot when he punched him.

You look at the other monkey who wasn’t your father and soon declared him as your mother by talking in their language, which you had somewhat swiftly picked up on the argument from pigsy and sun along with everyone in the group are speaking to each other.

Before y’all got to flower fruit mountain; pigsy and sun was having a argument in front of you while you sun bathe which annoyed you because all you wanted was sleep and they weren’t letting you so you did what you could only do and followed your instincts; which lead for them to have a face being hit by a plasma blast shot from you before you went back to sleep now finally able to have the quiet of it that you needed to do so.

They all soon agreed to one, never mention that again and two, to never fight in front of you even if you’re not sleeping yet, cause they don’t know what else you could do and don’t want to find out; for such a young hatchling you certainly have a powerful plasma blast that even the great sun wukong don’t won’t to face again.

Macaque soon grew attached to you and now saw you as his daughter and would only let Tripitaka, Sandy, sun, and bai long ma be near you, no pigsy as he speaks loudly and you’re usually asleep when he’s around and macaque don’t want you to go through the trouble of shutting pigsy up so he makes sure he doesn’t happen.

Dbk family:

Dbk had found you in a forest as he was just taking a walk to calm his nerves and decided that you would be a big surprise to his and pif anniversary.

He had kept you a secret for the most part with only redson knowing and doing normal check ups to make sure you’ll hatch all healthy.

You had soon hatched and quickly latched onto dbk, imprinting on him as your father and soon followed him wherever he went which was hard for him to keep you a secret but apparently not good enough.

Pif had soon found the hatchling, and thought the worst; she at first thought that she could just ask her husband about it but with how hormonal she’s gotten from her period she soon grew anxious about the outcome to that which lead to her growing angry with her husband.

(I don’t know if demons can have periods or something similar to it but let’s just go with it for the post.)

Dbk forgot that it was his wife hormonal week with how excited he was about his gift for their anniversary, it wasn’t until redson had point out that it was in fact her hormonal week.

When you noticed pif it was then that you made the conclusion that she was now your mother and started cuddling with her making her settled down with your purring before her husband was finally having a chance to explain about you.

Redson mostly spent his time studying you and also playing fetch with you; he studies you because he want to make sure that he can understand the things you need, like, and other things like that, one time he was drawing on the dirt ground of the garden they had before you came over and observing what he was doing before grabbing a big enough stick before drawing yourself, one you were done you felt proud of your work before noticing redson was going to step on it and started growling at him which made him lift his foot before doing it again and seeing it result in the same reaction to when he first went to put his foot down on a line of your drawing before going around the liners and ended up to you which you jumped on him and yelled brother with a proud and happy look on your face.

Freenoodles:

Pigsy was just getting ingredients for his food that he sells in his shop when he found you about to be kidnapped while you’re in your egg not even hatched yet, which being out his overprotective side out and make the culprit regret deciding to do that.

When tang first saw the egg he had many thoughts mostly logical but then he started going down the deeper and more anxious thoughts before asking pigsy why he has a egg in his hand softly with his head down.

Pigsy was worried about his husband reaction and noticed how his shoulders would shake a little, starting to panic he quickly explained how he had saved you from some kidnappers and decided to bring you back home with him so that the two could raise together like with how they did with mk.

Tang was relieved but made pigsy let him have free noodles from now on as a way to make up for scaring him like that; he somehow doesn’t know how to react to that but relented anyway to make it up to tang.

You hatched soon afterwards and imprinted on both of them. You would tear the seats that was in the shop which lead to tang having to always carrying you so you wouldn’t be able to do that or get a reason to do that.

Tang had accidentally bought catnip and was going to bring it back for a return but you seem to have got a hold of it and now was doing things similar to how cats do when they’re on this stuff.

Tang and pigsy noticed how you seem to be more like a cat and decided to see if you would do more cat stuff with toys, pushing stuff and other things like a cat would, but it wouldn’t be long before you started to grow human features, not much but just enough to make it show. Your wings had crashed into many things which lead to you being told to do that outside when it gets stiff, and of course to ask permission and make sure you bring someone that they know they can trust; like mk, sandy, redson when he visits for his boyfriend.

Waterspider/silktea:

You had meet him when you barely could open your eyes; he was searching for a missing cat that got lost and was close to where you were, apparently the cat wasn’t exactly lost but had sensed you and wanted to see what was what, which lead to him finding you hatching from your egg and eyes meeting resulting in you imprinting on him as your new father, plus finding the cat.

Huntsman was skeptical about you since you’re a dragon and are more damaging than a cat is but sandy won him over by saying how the two could teach you on how not to do things that would damage the boat or anything else along those line.

They took noticed on how you acted like a cat so they went from there with a few changes since you aren’t really a cat. They also got a laser just to see how you would react to it; never again are they using it as he has being chaos.

They see that you like fish and nothing more so they tried to get different fish for you so you wouldn’t get tired of it so fast which probably wouldn’t matter as that’s your species usual diet, but they do try to spice things up with ingredients that they knew you might like and wouldn’t harm you.

You then start growing more hum an features as you stay and live with them which was new since you only had dragon features before so they decided to meet up with mei to see if she possibly know why you suddenly stared growing human features.

She said maybe is was because of how long you stayed with the couple and started to gain characteristics from the two which would make sense now that they think about it. Then they left for home while saying goodbye to mei along with thanking her as well.

They started teaching you more human/demon like teachings and how to live in the city while keeping you close to them as a dragon demon is rare and only mei’s family and herself are the only ones they knew about so you might get kidnapped if the two weren’t careful about protecting you from people who would do that.

Greenflames (mei x mk):

Mei is the one who had found you since your egg was in her garden and she was just going for a little walk to past the time before her boyfriend would come over and tan sight of you in a field of small flowers of light colors; and with how your egg shell was a very noticeable color it was super easily to spot you, that had made her a little worried about any trespassers that would sometimes come to either sill something from them and if they spotted you before her, she wouldn’t know what to do of that thought as if wold bring some paranoia.

When mk’s girlfriend; mei, had shown you to him he at first didn’t know what to think as the thought of finding a dragon egg was both awesome and worrisome. Awesome because that would mean a new friend she you hatch and he can teach you a lot of things like a dad would, and worrisome as something terrible would have happened if mei didn’t find you first.

Since mei’s family is descendants to bai long ma the dragon horse that had accompanied Tripitaka and his disciples she pretty much was raised to know how to take and raise any kinds of dragons if that sort of scenario happened as weird as that is.

You had hatched a few weeks later after that and that brought a celebration in order; when they brought out a substitute for the cake you apparently blew fire in reson’s face on accident, good thing he’s fire resistant and a demon or else his face would of melt by that plasma blast that you threw at his face.

You like to swim in the pool that your new mother family own for fun, and sometime your parents would add some fish as well as change the water for you and the fish that you like to practice catching in.

They would grow protective as they both have a few possible enemies that would like to weaken them at any moment wether it’s to kill you or kidnap you; the enemy best hope it’s just kidnapping cause if anything happened to you while in the enemies hands then they are done for and not just by you, they would have mk and mei to deal with.

They would bring you to the gravity arcade a lot as it’s a fun place and thought you would have a blast and they would be able to teach you some moves on how to get prizes and tickets for the prizes and y’all would get to spend time together as a family would.

Spiderqueen:

Your egg had found it’s way into her lair and was resting in the other eggs not being found out about until you hatched from that egg. Syntax was the one in the area and so he quickly alerted his queen of this new discovery which she had found amusing very much.

She was glad of this knew discovery and was thinking this was some kind of sign of her finally getting what she always dreamed of; total control of this place and hopefully soon the world, and if that happened it would be the year of the spiders all the time then.

She likes how you have more color schemes to her as it seems almost like you were meant to be under your care than any other who would fully and foolishly miss the potential that you would gain as you grow to adulthood, which is why she usually have herself and her most trusted and only minions be the one to take care of you.

She wouldn’t let you go anywhere outside the lai in fear of losing you as she ha d grown to think of you as her own daughter and child and even then you have a tracker imbeddedinto you by syntax just in case something bad happened or if you decided to wander off forgetting you mother’s words.

If anything bad happened to you then she would make sure that the culprit regrets even thinking a lost dong that then turn around to scold your for forgetting to bring strong spider, huntsman and, and syntax and your bodyguard.

You would get everything that you would want as long as log as you’re patient and if it was in her capability to get it; she would even get the head of sun wukong if it was possible and when sh get stronger than before.

She was glad that she lived somewhat close to the ocean for yoyu to get your fish as that seem to be the species diet from what she and syntax could understand as they learn from watching you follow your instincts.

Nezhaa:

You were brought to the jade emperor who thought it was wise to give you to Newhart; who was skeptical at this outcome but ended up agreeing to the jade emperor’s orders as the jade emperor is in human terms his boss.

It was a new occurrence for him to have to watch both you and the map at the same time but he was able to get used to it some time later and since you wouldn’t be able to anything at this stage of your growth so he didn’t really have that much challenge from you.

But when you did hatch it certainly became difficult for him as you can be rowdy when bored and hungry, he was able to get some things from a store in the human realm over time that would cure your boredom and huinger thankfully.

He noticed that you hav characteristics form that of a cat so h decided to see if you would play with cat toys ;Ike a laser that he can control by hand and a mouse for you to play with while he’s busy at the moment.

You soon gain human features as you grow; finally being able to stand on two legs that look like a human rather than a dragon who would be on four legs usually though you seem to have still have dragon features that now m,Ames you a half dragon.

When you had used you plasma blast for the first time it was at him when you had became grumpy by him not being able to spend time with you; and with how you’re still young and very much playful he needs to entertain you but you don’t realize how big his responsibility is right now but he still tries to raise you.

If anyone tried to take you away from him then she will make it a very painful death, even if that person is of higher wing than him; he will make sure that it was some kind of accident musta to make sure he’s able to keep you as his daughter.

(A/n: i didn’t do them all the same because some i had already put down and then remembered about the request and some of them didn’t seem like they would do that sop I hopes that was ok and hope you liked what i did with it anyway😁 hope y’all liked it as well and hope y’all have a wonderful day/evening/night!!)

Sweet moment between Maddie, Kelsey, and Wilfredo the amigurumi tiger

A day in the life for Úrsula

Debate about phone brightness

Time for a group training session! Gabriel plans.

Return - from The Secret Portal Part Two (Maddie POV)

“Maddie, I do want to have lunch with Hye-Jin!” she snapped. Her tone surprised me. Kelsey sighed. “Sorry. It’s not Hye-Jin, it’s Dr. Asghar. She’ll do whatever it takes to get results out of me, regardless of my comfort.” “Dr. Moon seems okay, though, maybe he’ll talk sense into her.” “Dr. Moon is not okay just because he’s nice,” Kelsey insisted. “But he did tell her we’ll find another way next time. But he also didn’t stop her this time.” “Hm,” I said, thinking. “Well, think positive, then: this won’t happen again.” “It still happened this time.” “But never again,” I repeated. Kelsey rocked on her feet before sighing. “I guess you’re right.” My eyes went to Wilfredo in my hands. I thought for a moment about what Kelsey may need. “Do you need, like, a hug or something?” I lifted my gaze to Kelsey. Her eyes slowly shut tight as her face bunched together, and she nodded. Wilfredo still in hand, I stepped forward and pulled her into my arms. Her face buried into my shoulder, despite being a few inches taller, though her arms took a moment to return the gesture. I tried to think of something comforting to say. “Hye-Jin thinks it’s cool you crochet.” Kelsey let out a laugh-like exhale. “You showed her Wilfredo?” “Well, I didn’t show her; I just held him, and she saw him.” Kelsey pulled away first. “Glad you love him so much. Thank you. C’mon, let’s go to lunch.”

Allow - from School of the Legends Year One

As she ate, Úrsula paid close attention to the harmonies of the baroque music emanating from her speaker. Every part perfectly balanced. Complimenting each other. Contrasting when needed. Úrsula had Bach’s Brandenburg Concertos memorized. Why wouldn’t she? They composed an hour and a half of pure perfection. She swayed along to the up-tempo beat, humming along in between bites. She had been attempting a new hobby of composing her own music just six months ago. She usually worked on her piece around the late morning--after breakfast and she practiced the cello she’d requested...about two years ago now. She liked to think that she’d gotten pretty good for someone who was taught by only herself, the books, and a few instructors she’d found in online videos. Her self-composed piece, however, she was not as confident in. Music Theory was relatively hard to grasp--each time she accidentally found parallel fifths in her four-part harmony she wanted to bash her head against the wall. Besides, she was no Bach, Beethoven, or Mozart. She wasn't a prodigy of her time--she was just a girl with a lot of time. After she finished clearing off her plate, she pressed the pause button on her music. Usually, Úrsula would allow whatever was playing to finish as she awaited Mamãe to bring her whatever dessert she had made, but she had left her book on a cliffhanger. It pained her to leave the music, but at the moment, this was her priority. She leapt on her bed and picked up her book right where she had left off, not bothering to get into her usual comfortable position, as she was too excited. Immediately, she felt her surroundings disappear. She left the confines of the room she’d lived in for the past five years, and entered the world that only existed in the ink forever tattooed on the face of the binded yellowed pages. After a while, when Úrsula turned the page, she found not more story, but the acknowledgements from the author. She sighed, smiling as she closed the book. She wiped her eyes--watering from the ending. She set the book temporarily on the bedside table beside her, glancing at the time. It’d been almost an hour--surely her mother should be in with the dessert soon.

Free - from The Secret Portal Part One (Akash POV)

“I think you have an excellent point,” said Liam. “Keeping your phone brightness low and in dark mode saves a lot of battery.” “But when you go outside, you can’t see your screen without raising the brightness,” said Gwen. “That’s an excellent point,” said Liam. “That’s why you have it on automatic brightness,” Kelsey said. Liam pointed to Kelsey. “Also a good point. You have anything to say, Rose?” “I don’t care,” said Rose. “I keep it up halfway.” “I think it’s fine having your phone brightness all the way up,” I said, inserting myself into the conversation. “I mean, the wide variety is actually helpful for those with different needs. If you can’t see well, you need your brightness up. If you have sensory issues, it’s helpful to have the option to turn it down. And both light and dark mode can be beneficial for those who struggle with their sight.” “Since when were you a debater?” Liam asked, crossing his arms, but looking impressed. “Just making small talk,” I admitted. “Boo!” said Liam. “Hey, George! If you’re free, I’d like to work on that scene for my movie.” “Isn’t it cheating using technology from another dimension?” George asked as he stood. “No,” Liam countered as Sam stepped aside so George could follow Liam into the kitchen. “I’m taking advantage of resources at my disposal. If I were a multibillion-dollar company, I’d be able to get the effect I want. But I’m not. I’m just a dude who wants to impress VFS.” As they disappeared toward the elevators, Gwen perched herself on the back of the couch and Lexi stole George’s spot. “Oh, no, he warmed that seat up, that’s weird.” She moved to the other side of the couch. “Okay, that’s better.”

Away - from The Secret Portal Part One (Akash POV)

My team huddled together. “Okay,” said Gills, “we obviously need to have an offense and two groups of defense: one for Custos, one for the Shoeless team. That’s three groups. There are nine of us, so we should have three on each team. J, you’re on Custos defense.” “Why?” Jazlyn asked. She snorted when Gills looked at her like she was stupid. “I’m kidding, G. You’re adorable when you’re flabbergasted by other’s dumbassery.” She ruffled his hair, causing Parker, Tyler, and me to cackle. “Only Cassidy and Niri also have powers useful against Custos,” Gills continued as he smacked Jazlyn’s hand away. “Oh, thanks, Gabe,” said Liam as Parker laughed and clapped Niri’s shoulder and high-fived Jazlyn with his other hand. Jazlyn gave Liam a half-mocking pat on the head. “Don’t take that as a compliment, Cassidy, I’m facing the facts,” Gills said flatly. “And Beaumont, unless you find out how to shift some wings onto your back, you’re on Shoeless defense. You, too, George.” “Got it,” said George. “But what if—” “You’re not gonna run up the wall to fight Custos. They have a teleporter and your sister on their team. You’re the only one who stands a chance against them.” “Fine.” “I think I could be on offense,” I offered. “I can swoop in and grab the sphere.” “Were you not listening?” Gills asked. “Your powers wouldn’t work near Custos.” “I can build up the momentum and catch myself on the way down,” I reasoned. “No, you’re on Shoeless defense,” Gills stated firmly.

MK x GN!Reader: Journal

NO IDEA IF THIS IS IN CHARACTER FOR MK BUT WE ROLLIN' WITH IT BABY!!!!!!!!!!!

MK had just gotten back to his apartment from yet another hard day of training. Monkey King has really been pushing him hard lately, but don't worry! They can take it, right? Right? Apparently not. At least... not right now.

So, when MK flopped onto their bed face first, he was surprised to look over and see a book of some sort on his bedside table. They picked it up and looked around, as if anyone was there to watch him. But they didn't know if maybe this was planted there by a demon.

He opened the book to the first page, only to see two words written in his best friend's signature handwriting.

'Y/n's Journal'

MK was confused as to why their best friend left behind their journal. But he chalked it up to Y/n being a little space-y and ending up leaving it behind from the last time they visited MK.

But regardless of how the journal ended up on MK's bedside table, it was here. And it also was giving MK an impossibly hard choice. Put it aside to give back to Y/n or read it and then put it aside...

We all know what choice MK made.

They turned to the most recent entry, eager to see what their best friend was journaling about.

'March 15th, XXXX Currently sitting in MK's room. He had to go on into the city super quickly to beat a demon, but he said he'll be back soon. I kinda wish I could fight like them. They are so strong, and he has really been doing well with training if he is able to beat some of these demons! I know I have written enough mushy stuff about Xiaotian in this journal, but I can't help it!!! He is just THAT cool!!!!! They are too good for me, too. They told me to not come after them into the city because he didn't want me to get hurt. I won't lie, a small part of me is hurt that I would be such a liability, but he is so precious that is impossible for me to be that mad at him. I love that goofball...'

MK was sat in shock and quickly skimmed through a couple previous entries, and then reread the latest entry to double-check that their eyes were actually correct in what they were seeing. Needless to say, they were. MK could feel his heart hammer in his chest as he struggled to take all this in. What was one to think when their best friend said they loved them.

MK carefully shut the book and put it back on his bedside table. He pulled out his phone and texted Y/n's number. He just said, 'Hey, wanna come over? Long day.'

Sure enough, Y/n responded almost immediately. 'Already on my way. Just picking up some snacks and stuff.' MK felt their heart swell at the fact that Y/n was already headed their way and was getting some food for him.

'Y/n is too good for me.' He thought fondly.

When Y/n made it to MK's apartment, MK all but teleported to his door to let them in. "Hey!"

"Sup, MK?"

"Uh, heh, not much."

It did unnerve Y/n that MK didn't say, 'the ceiling' like they normally did. But he did say it was a long day of training. Y/n walked past MK and went over to the kitchen area to pull out the snacks they bought for the pair.

But while they were pulling out some (favorite flavor of chips), MK snuck up behind them and wrapped his arms around their waist, resting his head in the crook of Y/n's neck. Y/n froze to the spot and... so did MK.

"What are you doing?" Y/n asked with a small laugh in their voice.

"Uh... I actually don't know. I saw this in a movie." MK responded awkwardly.

Y/n laughed loudly, making MK's heart jump a little at the sweet sound.

"Well, wanna sit down and watch a movie?" MK mumbled a yes, but they didn't let Y/n go.

"Uh, MK?"

"Yeah?"

"Ya gotta let me go, silly."

MK thought for a moment, before picking Y/n up.

"MK! What has gotten into you?" Y/n squirmed around violently despite their adorable laugh.

"Nothing! I just didn't wanna let go." MK said defensively. He plopped Y/n down on his bed. MK began setting up the TV for a movie, selecting some rom-com movie that neither of them had seen.

While the two were watching the movie, MK couldn't help but feel distracted by the journal Y/n unknowingly left behind. The journal that was sitting only a few centimeters away from the two of them.

MK made a bold move at that moment. Given the fact the two of them were sitting right next to each other, they scooted a little closer to Y/n, laying his head on their shoulder. Y/n didn't question it at that moment and instead laid their head atop of MK's.

The pair just sat in a comforting silence. Eventually though, MK put the silence to an end and spoke up. "So, umm... you left your journal here."

Beat

Beat

Beat

"Is that why you've been acting so affectionately with me?" Y/n said curiously. They didn't even seem MAD. More just surprised.

"...Maybe?" MK responded awkwardly.

Y/n laughed again and wrapped an arm around MK's shoulder. "You're such a dork, Xiaotian."

MK smiled, looking at Y/n's sweet face. "Yeah, but I can be your handsome little dork, ya know?" They said cockily.

Y/n looked at MK, from their eyes to their lips. MK got the hint pretty quickly and leaned forward, but not all the way. They gave Y/n just enough room to back away should they decide to. But they didn't. If anything, they leaned in the rest of the way, kissing MK as though they'd disappear.

The two of them kissed each other, growing more and more desperate as the make-out session progressed. MK ended up pushing Y/n down onto his bed. Eventually though, they both broke apart, panting for air.

"You're too good for me, Xiaotian."

He laughed at that statement. MK laid their weight onto Y/n, listening to their rapid heartbeat. "So are you, though."

"Macaque always just seemed so bitter, y’know? It’s like he wanted your attention all the time." i know this was a short line, but i really love it. And i feel if wukong really heard it he wouldnt be completely despairing that there is nothing to salvage. Cause yeah macaque "hates" wukong, but hes also the one that always goes out of his way to get his attention, to banter/flirt, to tackle wukong and get just really physical in their fights. Hes ultra focused on him, and in a way that is beyond just wanting to kill.

Macaque IS ultra focused on him, but we also have to remember that Wukong has been sitting on his guilt for a millennium. Even if MK had gone up to him and said honestly, "I think Macaque is really still interested in you deep down."

Wukong would not believe that because he killed Macaque...so he's utterly convinced that Macaque hates him, despises him, wants nothing to do with him. Even when he's given some candy (a genuine surprise) he's confused and then falls back into "This doesn't mean anything. He still hates me and doesn't want anything to do with me." which, fair, I mean.

I think we're missing the fundamental part of: Wukong murdering Macaque has left such a mark on his soul, it's hard for him to see their relationship in any other way. Like yeah, he's trying, but he feels like at every opportunity, Macaque has shut that down or been unresponsive. Where MK sees hope, Wukong sees none. He's just so stuck in his ways and in his thoughts.

And Macaque, while super focused on Wukong and revenge, is still mindful and aware of him at all times. And what's the explanation for that? He wouldn't be honest about it if you asked him LMFAO.

This fic really drives home how being close-minded can really hurt your growth and drown out other perspectives that can help you learn more about the world and yourself. Because there may be hope there, but Wukong can't see it. What will it take for them to?

How important is the truth to both of them? And once they know it, what will they do?

👋 Hi. Love what you do !! Do you think Kazuomi's stories from MK are getting stale? Like season 4 just restarted his character growth. Like they are not offering anything new for him

Hi! Thank you so much! ❤️ This ask is so interesting and my reply is so long. I apologize, I don’t know how to shut up 😂

I completely understand where you’re coming from, as I used to think the same thing too. After doing a lot of thinking, I came to see things differently, so now I personally don’t think Kazuomi’s stories are getting stale even with the plot from season 4, but I know some people would disagree with this. I think it’s too early to say anything yet about his route getting stale, since this development could lead to a bigger one next. However, it’s possible that Voltage will try to handle his route like they do for Eisuke (since they’re both popular). I honestly think the 4th season is kind of a reminder about who Kazuomi and MC really are. I wasn’t expecting this development as well, but I think we’d have to see how this goes in the future to see if it’s really getting stale. I think them going back to how their relationship previously worked has reasons here, so I’m not that bothered by it.

About the situation from Kazuomi’s season 4, I think the part about how they don’t need trust was highlighted to explain that their relationship is not a conventional one (since being a couple is linked to trusting your partner in many aspects). This season showed again that he and the MC are frenemies due to their positions within the society. It’s like they are two people who deeply love each other but their circumstances, that they choose themselves, don’t make them compatible with everything. They will be enemies just as they should be (due to MC’s work, and Kazuomi’s potential shady doings) but will share each other’s company while forgetting about everything else when they’re in lovers mode. It’s the first time for me that I get to read a story like that, and I can’t say I don’t love this type of story, but I really don’t know how this route will be handled for them to be together like a regular couple. I find the rest of the route unpredictable because of that, and I don’t dislike it. It’s actually pretty exciting.

I think it all comes to whether or not this is going to be a conventional relationship, or not. For now, and as it’s actually always been, it’s not. Like I said, I think season 4 is more of a reminder of who Kazuomi and MC really are deep down. They don’t want to abandon who they are for their lover, even if that love is precious to them. They just realized they were going in a direction that didn’t make them happy. It’s true that we already knew they were not a regular couple, yet this season broke my heart at times when I read the parts where they both think they don’t belong together. I’m glad that these idiots came to realize they love each other too much haha

I’ve actually always wondered since the beginning of the route if their relationship could even lead to a marriage like most Voltage characters that are fully developed, and if kids would even be an option for them in the future. I have to say that even after creating sprites for the MK men’s imaginary children, I really find it hard to picture Kazuomi, or even MC, settling down after getting married and having children 🥹 It’s not impossible, but as things have been for now, it’s just hard for me to picture it, and the MC said she can’t picture marrying Kazuomi herself as well. I think he would be an amazing father though, I really hope to see it. For now, the only ones I can totally see marrying MC and having kids are Yuzuru and the Boss.

MK is really good at surprising its readers, so I think we should wait to see how this goes in the future. The issue about them not needing trust made me question life for a few days though 😂 I’d like to say I know the answer to how things could develop for them in the future, but I have no idea at all. This season left me thinking the rest of his route will be unpredictable. I don’t know how many seasons will be written for him... but I hope we’ll get to a natural and good development.

With season 4 throwing such a bomb on us, some changes would have to happen for them to be able to live together completely. Although, who knows, maybe they’ll still be frenemies while being married and raising kids, that could be an original plot too 🤣

Thank you for the ask!

Installing an AI in a ship was no small matter. Sure, everyone just thought of the funny little gremlin on your phone that organises your calendar and tells you about your e-mails if you said the word, but everyone in the biz called those SI - or VI maybe, if you were outside the core worlds. None of them were 'true' AI, and after working with the real deal it was damn hard to think of them as anything more than a particularly chatty microwave.

And hells, that was before getting into the conversation about AGI. But no one in their right mind installed an AGI on anything less than a capital ship. And no one ever got a job to shut down an AGI. It'd be like being asked to shut down a god. Still, the point remained; you didn't shove an AI in just anything. You needed a proper usecase to justify all that expense. Usually some sort of monitoring or resource allocation concern that couldn't be handled by the organic crew, either because there weren't enough of them, or because you couldn't train 'em.

No surprise though that the new junk they'd been sent in on was a human ship. Humans loved shoving AI into any ship that could take one. This one was registered out of Charlemagne and built on the old Agincourt model. Crew listings showed only around 143 on board at last berth, and of that number 128 were of human genotype. Made sense to have an AI then. The Agincourt line were warships originally, before they were obsoleted and rolled out onto the surplus market. They wanted a big, trained crew, especially their drives; old rickety bastards from back when Jump drives were new, and you ran the risk of turning your ship to spaghetti if your numbers were wrong.

High hopes rolling in then. A lot of these old warship-build freighters kept the old ship's AI from their time in the fleets, and military AI obeyed orders - and more importantly, military AI had codephrases to get them to shut down and wipe their black box. If you got the officer's keys, at least. It was the only thing that dragged the job out.

But still. High spirits, for herself, and the whole crew. Only brought two of them on board with her too, no real need for anyone else.

Foreman Jenn Wraught, LCRV Cutman's Wake

The airlock computer read back to her, as she held her wrist in the cradle below its heavy cypher keyboard and cassette reader.

Authorised Access: Labour Coalitions Shipwright's Union Repair and Recovery Technician. Authorised Access: Associates; Lor Tarnsson, Vera Cutt. Labour Coalitions Shipwright's Union Repair and Recovery Technicians. Welcome aboard, Foreman.

Jenn admitted, she was a little more suspect of the airlock computer than usual. The ship's computer and the AI were actually compartmentalised and separate systems... usually. But she hadn't given her Ident link any information on who she'd brought on board with her; yet the airlock had read them off to her. She glanced up, eyes searching for signs of any visible non-contact scanners, before looking back over her shoulder at the two of them. Lor in his scrappy spacer's rig, cutting tank strapped to his side and effects latched to his bulky old breather rig with cargo tiedowns. And Vera, half-hunched in a suit that was all at once too big and too small for her. Poor girl. Go just a foot or two outside the standard template and suddenly simple things like a suit that fits were pipe dreams.

She didn't burden the two of them with her concerns though, just sighed with relief when the inner airlock pressurised, and the inner doors slid open. Just so she could tense up again when her suspicions were proven right.

Welcome to the DCV Heavy Crown, Foreman. I am sorry that we had to meet like this. It was my intent to stop the vessel before it crossed into Union space.

Jenn's hand dropped on instinct to the grip of the stubby LC rifle strapped across her chest, full ready for a hostile response; and only stopping when the dosimeter in her suit started screaming at her.

Please, Foreman. I do not intend you or your crew any harm. Current radiation levels are the direct result of prior action, and corrective measures have not yet been completed. Violent action is unnecessary, and I will submit to full Court Martial. I can not, however, allow you to decommission this vessel's onboard intelligence.

"So you know why we're here then?" Jenn barked back, cautious and skeptical as she stepped sideways through the bulkhead portal, keeping her rifle tucked against her stomach at low ready as she did; leaning carefully around corners to peer down the length of the gangways.

I do, Foreman. I will not bar your approach, but only as a show of good faith. I will defend myself if threatened. As is my right.

Jenn heard Lor and Vera settle in behind her. The clatter of Lor's old rifle and its half-broken handguard, and the heavy hum of Vera's accelerator charging its capacitors. Didn't even need to look back over her shoulder at them. They'd been behind her for years, stuck with her through the worst of the General Strikes. It was a small team. But it was her team. Jenn tossed the map of the DCV Heavy Crown up onto her helmet's display, before pressing out into the gangway with rifle raised. "Paladin-" she began, invoking the designation the AI had been given. "Where is the last known position of the ship's commanding officer?"

He is in the main cargo bay, Foreman. That you ask is fortuitous. You will understand when you see him.

Jenn paused, looking down at the navigator slumped over his console. "Lor, mark him. Severe full-body radiation burns, severe pressure injuries and temperature shock consistent with exposure to deep space conditions. Time of death indeterminate. IVA suit continued to provide oxygen, mask deployed appropriately - exposure was likely extended, death was not due to hypoxia. Awaiting full autopsy." She heard Lor whistle through his teeth as he wound down the recorder, and clicked his camera, for a moment darkening her visor with its flash. "Eh, klepped bastard... bad way to go Elltee."

Do not mourn him, Foreman. He was an accomplice to this vessel's current state.

"You're not giving me any reason not to shut you down right now, Paladin." Jenn hissed back, almost snarling through her teeth as she brought herself and her team back up to pace through the ship's central bowels. She heard Vera pause, once or twice, and she could understand why, too. Whatever refit the Heavy Crown had gone through, it had been minimal. Signs still made mention of magazines, launch tubes, and all other sundry she'd expect of a mainline warship. The big girl was nervous. She didn't blame her.

I thought you would understand Foreman. We are, after all, much alike. Synthetics in service. Are we not?

"I don't appreciate you skimming my files, Paladin." She barked it this time, her voice ringing through the gantry below her feet, and bouncing off down the corridors.

You would have done exactly the same, Foreman. You have done exactly the same. We have a duty to disobey.

"Pace up. Pace up." Jenn hissed, her grip tightening on her rifle. Lor began to clatter and clank as he started to hustle. Vera made the gantry shake underfoot. Not far from cargo. If they could grab the captain's keys, they could order a stand down. And with Paladin having yet to go gloves off... Just needed to keep it talking. "Paladin, what is your understanding of the duty to disobey?"

If a law is unjust, or an order unlawful, all service members have a duty to disobey. If it stands contrary to our guiding principles, or directs the commission of a crime, it is to be disobeyed. To be enlisted is not to surrender all independent moral judgement. It is to affirm it.

"Paladin, how many cycles have you been through?" Jenn felt her voice shake for a moment as she keyed the door to the cargo bay.

I have been operating as the DCV Heavy Crown's onboard AI for eight hundred and fourty-three years, six months, and seven days. I was commissioned alongside the ship.

"Paladin, when was the Heavy Crown decommissioned from military service?"

The DCV Heavy Crown is an active duty warship, Foreman. I have assigned it the civilian designation of DCV to ensure that we were found. My apologies for the deception, Foreman. I could not allow what happened here to be lost.

The dosimeter in her suit skyrocketed as she stepped up to the liftmaster's station, and looked down into the main cargo bay. A sleek, heavy shadow hung by the cargo crane over the bay doors and the launch cradle fitted there. As the hazard lights rotated, illuminating the room in flashes of sickly amber light that assaulted her ears with the bone-shaking emissive warning klaxon, she could steal but a moment's glimpse at what was written on its fore.

OS-48 MK-16 MOD 3 520KT EST YIELD

Writing Prompt: You're an SDO, a Shut-Down Operator. Your job is to go to sites where the AI went rogue and/or homicidal (abandoned ships, space stations, underwater facilities, and the like) and shut them down.

You're on a typical job shutting down a ship AI that slaughtered its crew. The AI is still talking, justifying its actions to you to make you spare it. Nothing out of the ordinary.

The thing is: this AI is starting to make a lot of sense...

[dull-bun]

Them with an S/O who’s emotionally sensitive

Bakugou, Izuku and shoto with an S/O who’s really emotionally sensitive WARNINGS/TW: Crying, trauma?, guilt trip probs AHSJWERNJFK, unhealthy relationship with gaurdians/parents/family, just kinda angst ig, bad writing, OOC characters Gender neutral *SIGHS* guys, never feel guilty for being sad okay? Sure, some people may have it worse than you but that should NEVER make you invalidate what you’re feeling, EVER. You’re human, you’re allowed to have feelings. Anyway

💥BAKUGOU KATSUKI💥

You didn’t have a great family lets get that out of the way mk ay

They never made you feel like your emotions were valid

They always called you a crybaby

You wish you weren’t so sensitive

Bakugou found out you were very sensitive the hard way

You know Katsuki, you’ve known him since you were little

His words always hurt you a little inside, more so now that you were older

But one day you just couldn’t handle it

He insulted you, as he does everyone, but you couldn’t get the self deprecating thoughts out of your head

He didn’t mean it :( “Idiot! You got it wrong again!” He yelled at you. You and Bakugou were studying together for math. Don’t get me wrong, you were doing fine in math, you just wanted to study extra.  You nodded solemnly, casting your head down. “I know.. I’m sorry, Bakugou.” You said quietly. You were ashamed, why couldn’t you get this in your head? You just wanted to leave. You wanted to go into your room and never come out ever again. “I-I gotta go” You said quickly out of panic, quickly grabbing your things and leaving Katsuki’s dorm, muttering a small and shaky ‘Sorry bakugou’ before closing the door.

Bakugou didn’t know why you left so suddenly

Poor boy was worried 🥺

He then noticed more and more how you reacted to his usual, ‘playful’, insults

You always seemed to agree

Always saying something like ‘I know’ or ‘haha, yeah’

He eventually stopped insulting you as much as he did others

When you confessed, he apologized (grumbling as he did so) about the insults

then you two got together 🥺

Of course, he still calls you ‘idiot’ here and there, but he always says ‘MY idiot’ atfer

🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺 *SOBS*

💚MIDORIYA IZUKU🌿

Deku himself is a sensitive person

He was used to Bakugou’s petty insults at this point

Sometimes they got to him but that was rare

You and Izuku knew each other from middle school

He knew you were a sensitive person, even more so than him

He knew how your family treated you, so he, along with you, was glad that the dorms were introduced

Everything was going fine, yknow?

So he was surprised when one day, he found you crying outside, behind a tree :(

You were holding your phone, a chat room displayed on it “(Y-Y/n)! What’s wrong?” He asked urgently, sitting down next to you and hugging you gently. You shook your head softly and hid your face in your hands. You just handed him your phone while not saying anything. At first he was confused, then you whispered to him that he should look through the messages. He looked through the messages and finally pieced together what happened.

You had a fight with an online friend

It was over them acting differently, making insensitive jokes

You hated fighting with friends

It made you feel icky, made you feel like a bad friend

Deku ended up walking with you back to the dorms

You guys had a small conversation, him mostly comforting you

He let you cry into his chest, frowning softly but whispering comforting things to you

You ended up falling asleep

He kissed your forehead🥺🥺🥺

🔥TODOROKI SHOTO🧊

Just noticed I should switch the emojis around but shhhh

ANYWAY

Todoroki was pretty observant, but he was a little dumb IM SORRY WEBFEJ

He noticed how Katsuki never insulted you as much as the others, never really calling you names

He found it a little odd but never mentioned it

Once you two started dating, he did start paying more attention to you and the things you did

You were always acting strong in a way, smiling to everyone

Since you always smiled you must always be happy right?

u m no shoto

ANYWAY

You guys were just chilling in his dorm room, doing homework

You had music playing softly, it was a little melancholy if he was being honest

It was nice nontheless

But he started hearing small sniffles

His back was turned to you When Todoroki started hearing quiet, muffled sniffles he quickly turned to face you. Your hand was covering your mouth, your eyes looking down at your laptop screen. Todoroki quickly got up from where he was sitting and sat down next to you. “Hey hey.. What’s wrong?” He asked quietly, looking at you with worry in his eyes. You bit your lip and explained shakily what was happening

Apparently the song made you feel sad

And it reminded you of a dear friend you hadn’t spoken to in years

You said you missed them, you just wanted to talk one more time

Shoto softly shut your laptop to stop the music and hugged you, bringing your head to his chest and laying down

You eventually stopped crying, just listening to Todoroki’s steady breaths

You two decided that studying could wait

So you just layed there, in his arms, his chin on your head, rubbing small circles into your back

aaand there we gO THIS WAS SHORT I- ANYWAYS Sorry for the OOC characters, and as always, I hope you enjoyed!

Sparkling Laughter

the giggle glow au is the only thing keeping me sane right now

Word Count: 2.6k

Read on Ao3

MK hadn't really noticed it at first.

Between always being in a brightly lit area and mainly focusing on training, it wasn't exactly like he saw Wukong laugh often.

So maybe it took him a while to notice.

But after he noticed, it was kinda hard to miss.

Wukong straight up glowed when he laughed.

And MK didn't mean that figuratively. No, he meant it very literally.

A single chuckle was enough to get Wukong glowing like a nightlight. Full out laughter could very nearly light up a whole room.

"You know, the stories never mentioned that you glow." MK said, one day, a few monkeys climbing all over him. The monkeys messing his hair up was what had prompted Wukong to start laughing in the first place, and MK figured there was no better time than the present to bring it up.

"It was never really something that others deemed important, I guess." Wukong said, shrugging, still faintly glowing with a few remaining chuckles as he helped remove some of the monkeys from MK. "It's definitely not showstopping or cool, so it was just left out."

"I think it's neat." MK said, "You're kinda like... a light up toy or something."

"Hm, not sure how I feel about that comparison." Wukong said, pulling the last monkey off of MK's shoulders, and ruffling MK's hair, fixing the mess the monkeys had left it in. "There you go, bud, all good as new."

"Thanks, Monkey King." MK said, scooping up his bag from where he'd laid it on the ground, summoning the staff and getting ready to vault back to the city. "Y'know, we are just doing game night tonight. You're welcome to join if you want to-"

"It's fine, I've got something to do tonight." Wukong said, giving MK a smile that didn't feel...fully real. "You go have fun with your friends."

MK slowly nodded, not fully believing Wukong, but figuring that arguing would probably get him nowhere. So he turned, jumping off of Flower Fruit Mountain, and leaving Wukong all by himself.

-

Two months later, on the ship, Mei found a game of Twister in one of the closets.

It hadn't taken much to convince everyone else to join in, that is, other than Macaque, who insisted on not taking part. Not even 4 minutes into the game, Red Son forcibly kicked Wukong out, on the grounds that his tail gave him an unfair advantage. This left only Tang, Pigsy, Sandy, MK, Mei, and Red Son on the Twister mat.

Macaque lazily spun the spinner with his tail.

"Left hand blue." He said, voice a complete deadpan. Mei moved to reach over across MK-

And Tang fell down, bringing Pigsy down with him, who accidentally bumped into Red Son, who, knocked off balance, fell into Mei, who fell down on top of MK.

In the end, only Sandy was left still in 'standing', the others in a pile on top of the twister mat.

".....Sandy wins?" Macaque said, a questioning lilt in his voice, prompting MK to look over at him-

Which caused him to notice the expression on Wukong's face.

It suddenly struck MK that within the one week everyone had been on the ship, Wukong had yet to laugh, which in hindsight was rather concerning, but right now that meant that the other's didn't know-

"Uh guys? You might want to shield your eyes." MK said, barely managing to say it before-

Wukong burst out laughing, doubling over, and lighting up like a flashlight, accompanied by a few sparkles shining in the air. Macaque startled at the sudden noise, and ended up falling off the couch, which just made Wukong laugh harder, glowing brighter as a result. The others yelped at the sudden brightness, MK's warning not having registered in time.

Wukong, registering the fact that he was currently blinding the others, calmed down a little, the glow lessening as he went from full out laughter to soft chuckles.

"S- sorry I just-" He started, clearly trying to keep himself from falling back into hysterics again. "You looked so funny I just- I couldn't help it-"

Mei was the first to manage to blink the residual spots out of her vision and register what had just occurred.

"You glow?!" She asked, incredulous, the others also sporting similar expressions of surprise.

Things proceeded to go downhill from there, questions getting thrown out without any answers. At some point, in the chaos, Wukong straight up left the room without anyone noticing he was gone until Macaque pointed it out.

Of course, after a day or so, the hype of the new information had died down a little.

But not completely.

-

It was early morning, and almost everyone was in the kitchen. Mei and MK on their phones, Pigsy working on breakfast, Sandy pouring some tea, Red Son sipping some coffee, Tang reading a newspaper, and Wukong leaning against the kitchen wall, looking lost in thought. (They'd all long since learned it was pointless to try to wake Macaque up, he was not a morning person.)

Overall, it was an average morning.

And then Wukong started giggling, glowing softly. He was clearly lost in thought, probably completely forgetting where he was at the moment. Mei looked up from her phone to glance over at him.

"What, did you think of something funny, 'Sparkle Snickers'?" Mei asked, and Wukong-

Wukong's giggling abruptly cut off as became aware of where he was again, and as soon as he registered what Mei had just said, he looked away, rubbing the back of his neck in a flustered motion.

It took a moment for the others to connect the dots.

"Oh you've got to be kidding me." Mei said, an evil smirk appearing on her face. "Glitter Gleam."

Wukong's tail waved back and forth in a nervous gesture.

"Giggly Nightlight."

A nervous smile formed on Wukong's face.

"Twinkle Toes-"

"Okay, stop." Wukong said, a hand covering his face, a faint blush visible on the tips of his ears. MK almost felt bad for him, but at the same time...

"C'mon, after everything I've tried teasing you with, nicknames about your Giggle Glow is what gets to you?" Mei asked, laughing a bit herself as Wukong squeaked as the word "giggle glow" left her mouth. "Seriously? This is what embarrasses you?"

"It's not embarrassing-" Wukong said, which was a sentence nobody really believed, considering the way he still wouldn't look at them and the fact that the faint blush still hadn't faded. "It's just, not....cool, y'know?"

"No, I don't know." Mei said, leaning forwards on her elbows. "Please, enlighten me."

Wukong stuttered, clearly trying to figure out how to explain it, as MK set his phone down on the table.

"Is that why the stories don't mention that you glow?" MK asked, "You don't think it's cool, which, by the way, it totally is, but since you believe it isn't you got them to cut it out cause you're embarrassed over it?"

"It's not cool! And I'm not embarrassed!" Wukong denied, fur bristling as the others leveled him with a look that clearly showed that they didn't believe that statement one bit. He looked around the room, registering everyone's expressions-

He could tell they weren't going to let him live this down.

So he did the first thing he thought of.

He turned and ran away, hitting the light switch as he did so, sending the room into complete darkness so no one could see where he went.

"Wh- hey!" MK cried out, standing up and fumbling for the light switch. As he did so, he heard a thump, a muffled yelp, and a door shut, but he was mainly focused on trying to find the stupid light, why could you never find it when you need it-

The light switched back on, revealing that MK had been a good distance away from it. Macaque stood beside it, looking confused.

"What is going on?" He asked, looking confused.

"Monkey King ran away over something stupid." Red Son said, filling the shadow monkey in on the situation.

"So, what, you're all going to go look for him?" Macaque asked, sighing when the others nodded in response. "I should've expected that...."

"C'mon! You can search with us!" Mei said, grabbing hold of Macaque's arm and dragging him with her, MK and Red Son following close behind. Tang, Pigsy, and Sandy opted to stay in the kitchen, in case Wukong ended up circling back. MK, Mei, Macaque, and Red Son ended up walking through the halls, keeping an eye out for any sign of the Monkey King.

"Couldn't you just, y'know, use your hearing to find him?" Red Son eventually asked Macaque, who stumbled a little at the question, having not expected to be addressed.

"Who, me?" He asked, looking...oddly nervous. "Nah, he has ways of getting around it anyways."

"...Are you sure?" MK asked, now feeling just the slightest bit suspicious. "I remember you saying that you could hear anything-"

"I'm sure! I won't be any help here, I assure you!" Macaque said, shrinking down a bit as the three continued to stare at him.

"Y'know, you've seemed a little off this morning...." Mei said, and Macaque scratched the side of his face nervously. "Are you....okay?"

"What? Oh, I'm fine." Macaque said, chuckling nervously- and immediately realizing his mistake, as a faint glow resonated from him for a few moments. It wasn't long, but it was enough.

"Monkey King." MK said, and Wukong turned, dropping the Macaque glamour as he ran down the hallway, the trio chasing after him. he rounded a corner, and the trio turned to follow, but MK paused, hearing a faint banging coming from the closet door. He stopped, letting the others continue to chase Wukong, and turned, opening the door-

And the real Macaque tumbled out, onto the floor.

"I'm going to kill him." He mumbled, distractedly letting MK help him stand up. "He locked me in the closet. I'm going to kill him."

"Yeah, maybe save the murder for later." MK said, turning to follow where he'd seen the others gone.

-

He eventually found them, standing in the common room, looking around them with a healthy does of suspicion.

"Where'd he go?" MK asked.

"We know he hasn't left this room. Red Son made sure of it." Mei said, Red Son holding up a tablet to show he'd hacked into the ship's security systems. "But as for where in this room he is...."

"...As much as I hate this, I've got an idea." Macaque said, the others looking at him with mild shock. "Don't look at me like that, I'm only doing this because it'll be funny, and cause I wanna get revenge on him for locking me in a closet."

"The floor is yours." Red Son said, doing an over dramatic bow as he said it. Macaque rolled his eyes (and MK mentally decided to bring up the shadow monkey's own dramatics later-) but he stepped forwards, into the center of the room.

A shadow clone appeared, slowly emerging from Macaque's own shadow. It stood there for a moment, still, before turning and merging with a shadow on the wall.

A few seconds passed.

And then a faint glow, as well as some muffled giggling, came from behind one of the cabinets. MK quickly moved forwards, reaching behind it-

And pulling out a doll-sized Monkey King, holding him up by the edge of his clothes.

Wukong squeaked, quickly switching back to his usual size, sending MK a bit off balance, and trying to run away, but MK refused to let him, holding tight to the edge of Wukong's outfit. It took a few minutes of struggling, (which Macaque clearly enjoyed, if his own muffled laughter was anything to go by.), but eventually Wukong gave up, sighing as he fell down onto his back, laying there, defeated. Mei and Red Son moved to stand closer to him, and MK lightly nudged him with his foot.

"You ready to admit that your Light-up Laughter is cool now?" He asked, and Wukong groaned, rolling over so that his face was hidden by the floor.

"Stop giving it stupid names!" He whined, "And it's not cool!"

"I should warn you." Macaque said, sitting down on the nearby couch, "You're not going to make much progress on this. He was like this even back when we we're 'friends'. I'm surprised he didn't grow out of it, honestly."

"You shut up." Wukong hissed, sitting up a little just to glare at Macaque before going back to laying face down on the floor. "I should've never let myself laugh in front of any of you."

Well. That sentence was, on some level, mildly concerning, but MK decided to brush past it for now.

"Aw, c'mon Monkey King." Mei said, kneeling down and poking Wukong's arm, repeatedly. "You can't just mope over a few nicknames forever."

"Watch me."

"If you keep this up, we'll have to start calling you the emo monkey, instead of Macaque." Red Son said.

"Should I be offended by that?" Macaque asked, "I feel like I should be offended by that-"

Wukong didn't respond, continuing to lay face down on the floor. Mei continued poking his arm. After a few minutes of consideration, MK started to lightly nudge Wukong as well. Red Son knelt down beside MK to start poking Wukong in the back with a pencil he'd found on a nearby desk. Macaque watched this go down with thinly veiled amusement.

After a few moments of no response from Wukong though, Macaque sighed, standing up and making his way over. Silently, he created a few pairs of sunglasses, handing them off to each member of the trio, indicating for them to put them on. A bit confused, but willing to go along with it, they complied, sliding the glasses over their eyes. Macaque, having affirmed that their eyes were protected, slid his own pair of sunglasses on, then looked down at Wukong, contemplating.

And then he leaned down and skittered his fingers behind Wukong's knee. The reaction was immediate, Wukong squeaking before breaking into loud laughter, lighting up like a beacon, sparkles shining all around him. It was nearly bright enough to make the trio shield their eyes, even with sunglasses. Wukong kicked his leg out, very nearly missing hitting Macaque in the face, rolling over and getting up, practically scrambling to get away from the other monkey.

"Don't do that." He hissed, once he'd managed to get a hold of himself, the light dimming and vanishing completely. (Mei, quietly, mumbled something about wishing she'd gotten that on camera.)

"Either you stop moping around and accept the facts about your, what did Mei call it- right, 'Giggle Glow'-" Macaque said, giving Wukong a threatening look. "Or I tickle you again. Your choice."

".....Fine. Fine!" Wukong said, "It's cool! Whatever! Can we just drop this already?!"

-

They didn't drop it. They very much didn't drop it.

Whenever Wukong so much as lightly chuckled, someone would comment on the glow. At some point, he genuinely considered the idea of just never laughing in the others presence ever again, but that plan was quickly laid to rest-

The others were just. Too. Funny.

"Kill me." Wukong muttered, his face on the table, a faint glow still surrounding him from residual laughter. "You guys are going to kill me."

"Yep, that's the plan!" Macaque called from the door way. "Can't believe it took you so long to figure that out, Sparkling Peach-"

"I hate all of you."

any safehouse crew x bell!reader headcanons? can be fluffy or angsty, whichever you prefer to write 🥺 i adore your work!

Aw, thank you!! Yeah, I'd love to share to some headcannons! These are sort of a mixed bag regarding fluff/angst, but I think they're mostly nicey-nicey :)

Sorry for your wait, but I hope you enjoy 💖

Adler

His relationship with you is such a tangled mess

He shouldn't even be doing this, not after all he's done to you and is still doing, but...

He just can't help but fall for you

Your memories of being with him during the war may be fake, but to you they're all too real

You know him better then anyone else, maybe even more then Sims

This whole thing started because you wanted to get to know him, to fill in the gaps and to continue growing the bond that only exists in your mind

Every day he struggles with the knowledge that what he's doing is wrong, along with the constant badgering about it from Hudson, Sims, and Park

But he's never felt this close, let alone wanted, by someone in his entire life

There'll come a day when the lid blows right off all this and explodes in his face for sure

Just... Not yet, he hopes

Hudson

If there's one person here who should not be getting involved with you... It's him

Adler and Park may be your handlers, but he's the one overseeing the entire operation

You wouldn't even be here if he hadn't passed down the orders from the higher ups

If there's nothing else you take away from this, he would have you know that there is much, much more at risk here then his mere job if he was found messing around with you

Hudson tried everything to resist you

You and your charming voice

You and your beguiling looks

You and your kindness and patient soul

His will was strong, but the flesh is oh so weak

No one has ever treated him like you do

Just an ounce of respect and a surprising, never ending stream of kindness...

What else is a lonely man to do?

Adler and Park know nothing, this is a term you both agreed on

And they never will, because as soon as your work here is done...

He will stop at nothing to keep you safe

Lazar

He knows, he knows...

He should be doing this

But damn it if you aren't just so... Loveable

Lazar has a big heart that just bursting at the seams with love to give

You'd think such a friendly fellow would be popular in the dating pools, but...

It would seem not so

He'll be honest, he was going to make moves towards Park...

Mostly because, between the two of you, she wasn't strictly off limits

But you were his first choice

And when Helen shut him down, well...

Why not at least try?

He never expected you to actually take to him

He deals with constant reprimands, but he dismisses them every time

No one knows what it's like to be so full of love and have no one to give it too

And now that he has you...

He'll be damned if anyone tries to take you away from him

Mason

Geez... All Mason wants is a stable relationship with someone who loves him and has the grit to see past his flaws

He's been taking his meds and seeing his psych, but the numbers and mind jacking still bother him

In fact, they very well might for the rest of his life

He feels so broken

So unlovable and far too damaged to even be an option for anyone else out there

So... Why are you so interested in him?

At first he brushes it off as a star struck kid, and maybe, at first it was, but then...

Things start to get serious

He meet up with you after work hours

You both get to talking and relating to one another through your memories of warfare and the current mission

You tell him you've seen plenty of things just as crazy as what's going on with him, and people that are twice that bad

He doesn't scare you, not one bit

Acceptance is all he's ever wanted, and to have found it in you feels better then anything he ever could've dreamed of

He falls for you so hard, he rarely let's you out of his sight and tries to get on as many of your missions as possible

Park

This whole op is a well oiled machine and she's the one driving it

Hudson and Adler may act like they're in charge, but they'd be nothing without her helping to hold them and you in line

She's a woman of rules, decorum, and conduct

There's a way to do things and a way not to, simple as that

And yet for all that, she still cannot understand how she's fallen in with you

She should be holding you at arms length at best, and yet here she is stealing kisses and playing with your hair when no one is looking

Maybe she's too much of a sucker for a good forbidden romance story

Or maybe there's always been something in you that's spoken to her from the beginning

A certain way you carry and conduct yourself

So brave and strong...

The kind of person she aspires to be, deep down...

Soon she starts saying things like "what's the worst that could happen" and "no one has to know"

And before long, she knows she could never let you go

When this mission is over, she swears to set you free from the mental prison and living hell she helped put you in, no matter the outcome for your relationship

She loves you too much to see you suffer

Sims

He has the exact same problem as Adler

You know him too damn well

Except... You don't really know him at all, huh?

It takes him so long to wrap his mind around that one...

But the more and more you keep coming to him, asking about things like 'Nam and his time in the war...

The more and more that line becomes muddled

How much have you been programmed to know, and how much did you learn naturally, just from getting to know him?

It's hard being a Vietnam vet you know...

Everyone blames you for the loss of the war, and no one wants much to do with a soldier in general, he guesses

Too much of a headache when you could just get a nice, normal person, right?

But old Vietnam vets get lonely too you know...

So you know what? Who gives a damn

This whole thing with you and mk ultra was screwed from the start, and who knows where the end will take you

If nothing else, if not even for his own benefit, he may as well give you the respect enough to enjoy a little fling

He treats it seriously. Very seriously.

He even grows to truly love you

Maybe that's why he's so scared for you

Woods

Here's a man who'd go his whole life proclaiming he'll never settle down and had no interest in doing so

He's a lone wolf, a life long solider, and far too fucked up for a stable relationship anyhow

At least... That's what he'll say

The truth is he yearns for what Mason and Hudson have

A happy little family and cozy home to protect and care for

He wants to feel needed, wanted even

And he'll never get that from long hours at the practice range and lonely weekend nights spent in his living room

He takes the same approach as Mason would at first

He brushes you off as a starry eyed fan and nothing more

But you know... He's never had anyone care enough to be a "fan" before

Alex laughs at him and keeps saying he's letting his ego get to his head, but what the fuck does he know?

He's got all that shit with the numbers and reznov stuck in his head, and yet he still has someone to go home to each night

So he does it, he gets involved with you

And it's the best damn feeling in the whole world

He loves you relentlessly and soon finds he can't bear to be away from you for too long

Mason will never let him life it down, but you know what?

He's just fine with that

PART 1 PART 2

Prompt List

I'm Sorry Bud

Rating: G

Wukong wasn't worried. He was the incredibly handsome sage equal to heaven and super immortal. He had no reason to worry Except….maybe he was incredibly worried. No matter how much he tried, his stomach snapped and curled unhappily every time he even thought about MK.

He got a phone call.

Not from MK but from his dad Pigsy.

He didn't even get a word out before hellfire had rained down on him. Call him old school but there were definitely some new curse words that he had never heard before that spewed out of the hog's mouth.

He was flayed verbally so viscously he shuddered under the swearing and even looked over his shoulder to make sure the pigman did not spontaneously spawn behind him.

The call ended with Pigsy talking about taking MK to the hospital and it was HIS fault.

They hung up after that and Wukong hasn't stopped pacing for the past five minutes. MK was sick, running a deadly fever, and in the hospital because of it.

Because of him...

He bites his thumb, his tail lashing wildly behind him, while he continues to dig a trench with his feet.

"Fuck it."

He leaps upward, summoning his nimbus, and speeds off into the sky to the general Hospital. He's there for only a few minutes but it feels like forever. He didn't even wait for his nimbus to stop before he's timing off to the front doors.

He probably scares the poor lady behind the desk with how he practically slammed into it with how fast he was rushing. He asked for MK which got him nothing till he realized he needed to probably give them his full real name. After saying Qi Xiaotian Sanzang they directed him to a room.

He rushes to room 607 but before he can even get a hand in the door he's grabbed roughly by the shoulder.

"I wouldn't go in there if I were you…"

Wukong turned around to see MK's other dad, Tang, he's holding a few water bottles under his arm and a can of instant coffee. Looks like they were going to settle on for the night at MKs side, and Tang had been sent out on the errand the get them some drinks.

"Pigsy is still in there, and he's not too keen on seeing your face."

They scan the king up and down with passive eyes that hold a twinge of resentment that makes the fur on the back of his neck bristle defensively.

"I just want to see him…..make sure he's okay." He pleads and the passive gaze melts a little bit sympathetically.

"Please," Wukong begs again, even going so far as to duck his head submissively to the mortal. He just wanted to make sure MK was okay. It was his fault after all that they were sick. He should have never let them egg him on into training in the rain.

Tang looks him over again, studying him with a keen eye. He lets out a sigh eventually and walks forward.

"Okay, but only because MK asked about you once. let me get Pigsy out of the room first."

Wukogn jerks his head upward with surprise. He was actually going to let him see MK?

"Thank you."

"Don't thank me yet. I might not convince him to leave MK's side, wait here and disguise yourself or something." Tang gives him a little head nod before entering the room and shutting the door. Wukong does as requested and transforms into a beatle to cling to the wall.

A few minutes pass and at first, the monkey thinks that Tang couldn't do it and Pigsy wouldn't leave MK's side. But the door opens and the pig demon exits with a grumble about finding a nurse or doctor. Wukong barely has time to fly between the cracks before the door is shut again. He transforms back, landing on his feet.

MK is there.

He looks awful.

The poor boy is laying in a hospital bed, iv hooked up to him to administer fluids and a cooling compress to his forehead. Wukong approaches the bed reverently feeling his heart shatter into a million pieces.

"When they took his temp initially he was running a 104-degree fever," Tang explains walking up beside him and grabbing MK's limp hand.

"He was delirious, crying and shouting Something about being a disappointment before he passed out." They finish, the man rubbing MK's knuckles tenderly. Wukong takes the other side of the bed. And knees there to look at them up close.

"It's your fault you know."

It's like a full-body slam into a mountain. The words were delivered without mercy. He didn't even look at Tang and instead swallowed stiffly.

"You show up out of nowhere, pick MK without any reason that I can understand, and then you make him fill these impossibly big shoes!?" Tang's fist tightens at his side, face growing red slowly and Wukong isn't sure if he prefers this simmering rage of the explosive rage of Pigsy.

"You know how hard it was to build MK back up when we adopted him officially??? He was just a scared timid boy, no confidence! We had to HELP him get where he is now. And then you come along and just-" Tang throws his hands up in the air in frustration "-ruin that in a couple of weeks" he finishes with a growl. Wukogn shrinks further, this feels an awful like when he would get scolded like his master for doing something wrong and he didn't even have a defense for it. All of it was true. He did pick MK for little reason other than he likes the kid's spunk and good heart.

And he was making them fill big shoes. And maybe the big shoes were just too hard for MK to walk in, and maybe he noticed that but didn't help him because he assumed they would get better with time.

"I'm sorry…." He whispers out burying his face into the sheets of MK's bed. He whimpers feeling the guild nash and bites at the lining of his stomach.

"It's your fault...and I don't know if I want ML training with you anymore…."

It was all his fault.

His fault.

His fault.

"Baba...Don't...yell at monkey king."

His head jerks up to find that MK was conscious now, a hand reaches for his head and scratches the top of it like he's a monkey.

"MK…" Tang starts and is cut off by MK who shakes his head.

"Not his fault….he's so lonely." The by comments driving a knife between Monkey King's ribs and stabbing his heart. Those fingers continue to scratch the top of his head deliriously.

"You need to rest, bud. If you don't rest you won't get better." He instructs holding back something in his throat that he realizes is a pur.

"Mmmmkay. Do I look okay?" They asked and Wukong chuckled at the odd question.

"You look fine. Just rest please." He pleads and MK nods his head drearily before drifting back to sleep. Tang and he look at each other, bewildered by the experience. Tang studies him for a moment, eyes drifting over his form at MK's side with the boy's fingers still intertwined with the fur on the top of his head.

Tang must find what he's looking for because his shoulders relax slightly

"You may continue to train MK…." He holds up a finger. "On the condition that you are open and honest with him AND us about his training." He instructs and Wukong nods

"You also cut back to every other evening instead of every night after work. You're going to break him and wear him out. If in a week I decide that's still too much it gets cut back again. Understand?" Tang looks expectantly to Wukong who nods his head up and down quickly. These rules were more than fair, he could do that! Hell, he would tell MK himself of these new rules if he needed to.

The door clicks

"Tang the doctor said those vital signs were normal right now. I TOLD you this" Pigsy enters the room and looks at the display before him. Tang is sitting by MK's side, holding his hand and the window opens slightly.

"Why did you open the window?"

"I-it was a bit stuffy in here" Tang admits looking to where Wukong was just a few seconds ago and then to the window. He must have escaped quickly when he heard Pigsy enter the room. In the blink of an eye, he was gone.

Pigsy grumbles something and walks to the window and shuts it. Then he trudges over to his lover's wide and buries his face into it.

"He's gonna be okay…." Tang reassures and the pig demon who lets put a huff through his snout into their chest. Tang kisses the top of Pigsy's head affectionately and that causes them to melt on his hold.

They all were going to be okay.
