#does erlang and macaque have a ship name?

[peachshadows]

A possible route that can open up the Erlang Shen joining the long line of suitors for our hapless Liu’er: The system pushes Liu’er to make contact with Erlang before/during the War against Heaven. Despite his prejudice, Erlang finds himself drawn to/charmed by Liu’er. Ends up besotted when the monkey brings Heaven’s Most Wanted to his and the Jade Emperor’s feet (even though the poor guy is obviously heartbroken and scared for his life).

Another possible route: Something akin to a “Witness Protection Program” for Liu’er after he “betrays” Wukong and Erlang is his semi-handler/bodyguard for the first few centuries after Wukong got out.

OOOOO I LOVE THAT IDEA SM IM GONNA COMBINE IT

I just really like the idea of an already besotted Erlang Shen being able to track Macaque and his every move because he's being appointed as his "bodyguard" like this dude really won the lottery for Macaque's time and attention.

Wukong, under Buddha's mountain: why do I suddenly feel murderous rage
