Wanna add some pre-journey stuff, so here’s a piece from Dove and Wukong’s first encounter! And… some sad stuff too.

Dove Masterlist:

After nearly two months, the wonders of the Jade Palace finally begin to feel normal. No other building you've seen could hold a candle to the magnificence of the Heaven's themselves. Yet, you found yourself becoming bored over the past weeks. As perfect as it all is, that was it.

Nothing of significance ever happens. No demons to stir troubles, no bickering that could evolve into full-on battles. Even the soldiers work long uneventful patrols, which did have the upside of letting you share their company and stories of battles. They wouldn't oppose to sparring either, which kept you entertained.

If they were busy, you found yourself doing odd jobs to keep yourself occupied any way you could. Whether that was running tedious errands for Laozi, cleaning and polishing the weapons in the royal armoury, anything you could find that needed to be done, you'd do. Of course, there isn’t always extra work to be done.

It's fine, though. If Guan Yin says this is the best option for you, then so be it. Besides, the gardens are beautiful here, even if they didn't compare to the bamboo grove you became accustomed to in your home. Your mind wanders to thoughts of your old home and the nearby village.

How was everyone? You could only hope Moksa explained on your behalf why you had not returned. Mei must have married that young man by now, and Guiying had only just started her practice in medicine when she left, how was she faring? There was also Lin, he was always so studious, how much has he learned now? Or better yet, has he finally noticed the fleeting glances of that sweet—

A violent rumble ripples through the halls of the palace, harshly dragging you from your thoughts. The ground shakes, making you stumble to find your balance against the wall. Before you can even begin to ponder what is going on, panicked shouts and screams echo through the halls and realization dawns on you.

Is this an attack? Finally! Something to do!

As swift as your legs can be, you rush to your room to grab your bow and quiver. Whoever this is who had decided to attack the heavenly palace, the panic they caused quickly spread through the grounds. You have to push against a crowd of officials, several residents of the palace fighting to get as far from the sounds of chaos as they can.

It takes time, but once you get through a decent amount of the crowd, it begins to thin out, a few stragglers following behind. Metal clashing against a wall makes the halls quake, quivering in fear of the carnage that took hold of the palace. The closer you get, the easier it is to make our voices through the static of destruction. It isn't until you reach the site of battle that you understand what the others ran for.

There is no army, no group responsible for the disruption. No, instead your gaze lays on a heavenly official, golden whip in hand and striking at a demon. Smoke billows off the monster, who doesn't bother to block the attacks. He charges his opponent, an iron rod held tightly in his grip. You have never laid eyes on the demon before, but can instantly recognize the features of the stone monkey.

Sun Wukong has been released from the Trigram Furnace? But how? The self-proclaimed Great Sage holds a crazed— no— feral look in his blood red eyes. His expression twists and screams in outrage, his attacks like those of a wild animal. The red and golden robes on his person are singed and burnt, the stench of burnt hair slowly filters through the air and reaches you, making you scrunch your face in disgust.

His wild attacks are forcing the celestial to take the defence, the man just barely dodging each swing Sun Wukong makes with his staff. To keep this up will be near-impossible, the monkey is relentless with each attack. With such blind anger, he could kill someone.

Your brows furrow as you think of what to do. Running was out of the question, but you stand no chance against that demon. You remember the force it took to capture him before, there was no way to match that on your own. But you can't just leave the poor official on his own. Is he an immortal that can’t die, or is he only ageless? Could he survive much longer?

As the questions swarm your mind, an idea strikes, your eyes narrowing as a plan begins to materialize. Defeating this monster on your own is out of the question, not while he's in such a crazed state of mind. You just had to take him out of that state.

Nocking an arrow, you draw back the string. You steady your breath, refusing to allow your fear to let you shake. This will have to be quick. One wrong move and you might just die. Guan Yin will not approve of that.

You slow your breath as the man locked in combat falls to the ground. Just as the demon pounces, you release the arrow, letting it strike Sun Wukong. It plunges into his side, and though his reaction is minor, the quick swivel of his head in your directions shows that you now have what you wanted. The stone monkey's attention.

In the flash of a moment, your head collides with the ground as the monster tackles you to the floor. A strangle of a gasp manages to escape your lungs, your breath leaving the moment your back hit the floor. Your grip on the bow is immediately lost as it clatters to the ground, your head pounding as it fights to make sense of its abrupt shift in orientation.

The demon glares down with a murderous look. His breathing is ragged, canines on full display in a snarl. While his eyes from a distance were a fiery red, you only realize now that the colour did not come from his pupils. Those are much too small to discern any colour from, and the slight trail of smoke that escaped the corners of his eyes took most of the attention away from them anyway.

He holds you down with a hand that grips your collarbone in a iron-tight hold, any harder and it might just snap in two. You already know of his strength, having heard stories from the soldiers that encountered him in battle after the festival, but to experience it firsthand was beyond terrifying.

The monkey holds his staff high over his head, your eyes widening at the threat of having your skull crushed under the weapon. With your senses returning, you wrap both of your arms around his own that holds you down. Closing your eyes tight, you begin to focus on your own energy. Just like you were taught... how Guan Yin showed you to envision it.

Everyone had their own pool of energy, their own force that was tethered to themselves. All you have to do was envision that divide between every person, the earth separating each individual's pool, and move it. With a shuddering breath, careful to only share what was necessary, you begin to move the blockage.

The moment your little pool of energy trickles into his own, the demon's breathing slows. His vice-like grip on your person starts to loosen, the bones beneath your skin no longer held hostage. Opening your eyes, you can see how his own begin to dilate. Now with sense behind them, the stone monkey’s golden irises look around in a daze.

Blinking slowly, the monkey lowers his weapon while you breathe a sigh of relief. The ape is back to his right state of mind, hopefully that can even the fight. Was the distraction enough time for the official to recover?

As relieving as it is for your plan to have worked and to no longer have a magical staff looming over you with the threat of death, it doesn't stop the underlying sense of dread created by the Great Sage's open stare. While his gaze is no longer filled with a violent rage, the calculating yet curious look he now gives lent you no sense of comfort.

A few silent moments pass before you attempt to sit up, but the demon keeps his hold firm. Your struggle doesn't seem to do anything to him, the stone monkey tilting his head in a curious fashion. "What was that?" He asks as you continue on your attempt to remove his hand. The action goes ignored as he seems more concerned with his questions. "What did you do to me?"

Despite the steady growth of your underlying panic, you manage to keep your composure and face him with a wry grin. "I kept you distracted, bastard monkey."

"Oh." The response makes him smirk, finding amusement in your words, though it’s clear he's taken aback from the twitch of the corner of his mouth. "Such vulgar words, maiden?"

"Only reserved for those who deserve them." You grin as the heavenly official from before sends his whip towards the monkey, the distraction giving him the chance to recover. The golden whip lashes around the arm holding you down and pulls it away from your person.

Weight now lifted off your chest, you're finally able to scramble away from the Monkey King. "Hurry, go now!" The official calls out, pulling the Great Sage towards him while the other readies his staff. The demon smirks, but before he can make another charge, the sound of thunder crackles through the halls. Yeah, this was now a much more even fight.

With a sigh of relief, you grab your bow from where it fell previously and run back around the corner of the hall. You've done your part, and hopefully now the Monkey King will be more easily subdued. You can only pray that they lock up that demon for the rest of his immortal life.

~~~~

Several hours pass before news catches your ears of the Buddha's involvement. You must admit, the Monkey King's reign met an interesting end, not to say you aren't grateful for it. Hearing of his feats and mischief was one thing, but to see his power yourself was a truly grounding experience. Good riddance to that headache of a demon. It only took about a week or so before a banquet to be held in celebration of his defeat.

That's when the news arrived.

"Moksa!" You couldn't have known your fellow disciple and brother would visit after the celebration. It may have been a surprise, but a welcome one at that.

Not caring for anyone that may have been present, you drop all formalities as you run to encompass the man in your embrace. His laughter is comforting to hear after going so long without a familiar face. "Hello to you as well, little sister."

Your smile could bring light to the darkest of nights in that moment. "What are you doing here? Is it time already? Can I go back home for the journey?"

"No." Moksa shakes his head in amusement, though you notice his smile falter. "No, there are still many years below before that. You're still so impatient." You step back to release him from your hold as he answers, less annoyed than you usually are whenever he makes such side comments.

With a roll of your eyes, you shake your head. "Does Guan Yin have a message for me? Or maybe you just miss me?" The hearty laugh that leaves your brother quickly makes you dismiss the idea.

But the laughter quickly subsides, the air suddenly becoming thick as his smile fades. All of a sudden, the situation feels much more serious than you initially expected. Moksa sighed. "Guan Yin did send for me to retrieve you, but only for a little while. She felt you would want to be back home today."

What does that mean? Of course you want to come back home, that's how you've felt since the day you were left here. But what makes today so special? As excited as you feel, you can't help but frown as Moksa leads you to the Southern Gate.

Summoning a cloud, you both descend onto the earth. Warmth fills your chest at the sight of your old home, the mountains that stretch over the horizons, the winding paths taken by travellers and merchants. It's funny, you never think about those kinds of details until you don't have them anymore.

Nonetheless, the sight of the village brings you a sense of joy you haven't felt in ages. The village was larger than you remember, they must have expanded in the time you've been gone. How much has changed since you left?

It doesn't take long for you both to land, though Moksa quickly began to rise again as you step onto the ground. "I will return to help you back to the Jade Palace once you are done." He explains, the somber look on his face grounding you once more.

"Wait, but what am I..." He's gone before you can even finish. "...doing." Huh, okay. You take a glance around the village, instantly recognizing the houses before you. Moksa had dropped you off just behind the house you busted frequently before this whole peach festival mess even happened.

Walking over to the front of the structure, you see a little kid running towards the house, maybe around ten or so. You pause the moment he locks eyes with you, the little boy frozen at the approach of a supposed stranger. He looks... he's just like...

"Shun!" A voice calls out, and the boy immediately looks past you towards the house. Your eyes widen at the sight of an older man. With hairs beginning to grey with wrinkles only just beginning to crease his forehead and the corners of his eyes, before you is the older face of a dear friend.

Without hesitation, you run to hold the man in your arms. "Lin! I can’t believe it, look at you!" The man stiffens in your hold, his eyes large as you grin widely. He really did age gracefully. "I’ve counted the days since my departure, I hope Moksa kept his word and explained why I never came back. Are the others still here? Has Guiying finally—"

"Father, who is this?" The little boy slowly approaches as you release who you expect to be his father from your embrace. He has to be Lin’s son, he looks so much like him!

As the boy— Shun was his name wasn't it? As Shun approaches, you kneel down to greet him and tell him your name. "I was good friends with your father many years ago." You explain, smiling at the boy. It would be a lie to say that this isn't all a shock for you. Of course you expected Lin to have a family by this point, though the kid is younger than you thought he'd be— unless of course Lin had another older child.

At your words, the boy gives you a look of recognition. "Like the one from grandfather's stories?" His question makes you frown as his gaze shifts to his parent. "I thought those were made up!"

It takes a moment for Shun's words to sink in, and for a moment, you're frozen where you kneel. Did he say... grandfather?

A hand rests on your shoulder, and you look up to see the boy's father a second time. Looking at him again... you begin to notice there are some features that are Lin’s, but his eyes were different. "I think there has been a misunderstanding." He begins as you rise back to your feet. "I am Ru Jiahao, and I think the person you are looking for is my father."

"Your father?" You echo his words, not entirely hearing them the first time. This man, he's Lin’s son?

The man gives an awkward sigh, nodding to the house. "Shun, go ahead and get inside. Everyone else is already in the house." The little boy nods, following his father's instructions and running into the house. With his son no longer present, Jiahao properly greets you. "It is an honour to meet you, my father always told us stories of how you kept our village from harm in the past."

His words suddenly feel surreal, the initial shock exponentially increased as he guides me into his home. Inside awaits the little boy, Shun, accompanied by two older girls and a young man, their somber faces all turning to you in confusion before understanding washes over. Are these all Lin’s grandchildren?

This is all so much, you barely even register the question asked until you feel the room's expecting gaze on you. Blinking yourself from your stupor, you look back to Jiahao. "Apologies, would you repeat that?"

The man frowns. "Ma'am," Ma'am? "you have come to visit my father, is that correct?"

You look over the expressions across the room. Their faces, all sharing the same wide-eyed look of wonder, watching your every move. It makes you shift uncomfortably, the way they look at you. "I... my fellow disciple escorted me back to the village. He said I would want to be here today."

You can't shake the way they all watch the conversation, nor their sorrowful expressions before you entered the room initially. The air feels cold, a looming cloud hanging over the family. "Tell me, where is your father?" You ask the man before two women enter from another room of the house.

One seemed about the age of Jiahao, perhaps his wife, the other much older. The elderly woman has her hair tied into a tight bun, not a single silver strand out of place. Wrinkles carved soft features over her forehead and the corners of her lips, crows feet almost meeting her temples. Holding onto a cane for support, she gasps the moment her eyes rest on you. She calls your name, and though her voice is hoarse and scratched with age, you recognize who it belongs to.

Your eyes widen, and you can feel your eyes begin to water. "Mei?" The woman smiles softly as you call her name, it takes a moment for her to hobble to you while the rest of the house watches in silence.

"My... you look the same as the day you left." Her hand slowly reaches to wrap you in a hug, her arms no longer holding the strength she had in her youth. Her youth...

She quickly turns to cast a glare over our audience. "What are you all gawking at? Jiahao, take them all to see your father and give us some privacy."

"Yes, Mother." Your eyes widen at the reply, barely able to keep your jaw from going slack as the man escorts his family into the room Mei entered from. Mother?! Did that mean Lin and Mei... but what about that man she never stopped talking about? You thought she would have married him, but Lin?! They couldn’t stand each other!

Before you can contemplate all that you must have missed, Mei takes your hands in her own. The smile she has is the same warm smile you remember all those months... years ago. "Is it time for you to go on that journey now? Prince Moksa told us what happened, I never thought we would see you again, old friend!"

Old friend? "No, there's still more time, but... what happened? You married Lin? You— you have a family!" You smile, overcome with a sense of pride and longing for your friend that overlaps with a thousand more emotions of joy and grief.

Mei’s smile falters, her eyes casting down. “Yes, well… you came to visit with a funny sense of timing.” Your brows furrow at her words, and she looks up at you with a sigh. “Here, follow me.”

Taking your hand, your friend guides you to where the others are. The room feels cramped with the number of bodies in the space. A bed lays against the far wall, an elderly man it’s only occupant. The first word that comes to mind is frail. Skin encloses bone with barely any muscle left, his movements are stiff, rigid. “Lin, look at who came to visit.” Mei announces your arrival.

It takes a moment for him to get a good look in your direction, his eyes growing larger in surprise. “Is it true?” He smiles, eyes landing on you and Mei. “My Love, are my eyes playing tricks on me again?”

Mei crosses to her husband, her smile warm as her hand finds his. “Our friend has come back to pay us a visit, Dear.” She answers, looking to you expectantly. With caution, you move to meet the two at his side.

“Lin?” Your voice is barely a whisper. This doesn’t feel real.

The old man smiles, calling your name as you take a knee at his side. “You sure took your time coming back.”

“You didn’t think you saw the last of me, did you?” You jest despite your throat feeling tight. This is all too much, seeing him like this. Of course you know that it’s been decades for him, you know your friends would age without you, the whole reason you’re living in the Heavens is because no mortal human alive now will live to the day you’ll be needed. But at the same time, actually being here, seeing the state of your friend…

You aren’t ready for this. “Lin, you—”

“I know.” His wife let’s go of his hands so he can rest one of his own on yours. “How are you? You promised to tell me what it was like up there.”

Of course, even in his old age, his curiosity is a top priority. “I’m fine, it can get boring, if I’m honest. Right up your alley.”

He laughs, but it sounds pained. Before you can blink he’s jolting upright and lets out a horrid coughing fit. Mei sits on the edge of the bed, her hand running up and down his back before guiding him back to lay down.

Jiahao steps forward, putting a hand on his father’s shoulder. The pain in his expression slams into your chest with brute force, your gaze wandering to the rest of his family. The younger children stand in a huddle with their mother’s arms draping over them. The youngest one you met outside, Shun, has his face turned away into his mother’s side.

Your eyes fall back on your friend, a man you can barely recognize as realization forces it’s way through. A statement you had known but never truly accepted until now. These faces, both new and old, were the sharp edge of the blade of truth, and it cut deeper than you ever thought it could.

Your friends have lived their life, and you missed it all.

“Lin?” Your attention snaps back to Mei, her voice in clear distress. The elder’s breathing is laboured, each intake of breath a struggle. His eyes are unfocused, almost glazed. “My Love?”

His eyes wander the room, looking to each and every person. When he looks to you, he weakly smiles, calling your name that he can barely get out. You shake your head, tears pricking your eyes. “Lin, don’t. Save your breath.”

“No.” He sighs, his voice strained. “It’s been over sixty years since I’ve seen my friend… I’d like to talk with her. Is that… a problem?” Each inhale is a battle, fights that twists your stomach as you witness them.

This is it. “Not a problem at all.” You smile, ignoring the tear that runs down your cheek. “Do you want to hear about the Jade Palace?”

His content smile is enough, and you begin to share with the man everything that happened in the celestial realm. You notice some of the children listen with wide eyes, Mei asks questions in Lin’s place while you try your best to be as detailed as possible. You tell them about the beauty of the palace and the gardens, the deities and officials, and the havoc caused by the stone monkey. You tell him everything, even after the moment he is no longer there.

Several minutes pass before it's only you and Mei left in the room. You've never seen such a pained look on her face before, her hand holding onto her husband's arm. It hurts to see the woman like this.

"...Where's Guiying?" You ask, eyes never leaving your now still friend.

Mei's gaze remains downcast. "You just missed her. She left two days ago after receiving a message for help. Merchants on the road needed medical attention." So she was able to practice medicine? Good...

The air feels thick, stuffed with grief and sorrow. Lin was one of the first people you met after Guan Yin saved you. At the time he was just a kid, like you were. Timid, but able to stand up for himself when he needed it.

Your eyes shift to Mei, her own clouded over. How terrible must she feel now? Losing your friend after ten years, the pain threatens to rip at your chest and crush your heart. Your stomach is heavy, stones of regret pulling down and grounding your body like a steel weight. But Mei's lost her love, her closest companion after decades that proceed your own life more than three times over.

"Mei?" You call her name gently, hand holding her wrist with care. "Do you want me to..."

She shakes her head, eyes now closed. "No. It's alright, I don't need you to use any magic." Her gaze falls back on you, a sad smile now resting over her frail features. "Your presence is enough."

You go to speak, but your throat begins to swell and all you can do is wrap your arms around your old friend. She reciprocates the hug, and you're not sure how long you stay like that, but it's comforting.

When it's finally time for Moksa to bring you back to the celestial realm, you find yourself grieving the life of a friend as well as the life you never got to live. This wouldn't be the last visit.

Idea Dump - Peach

Wukong: *Holding out a peach.*

Reader: *Suspicious* No thank you.

Wukong: You need to eat my love. *Dragging out an innocent act by smiling nicely.*

Reader: Yeah... nope, I'm good. *Spins around to walk away*

Macaque: What's going on?

Wukong: She won't accept my peach 🥺

Reader: Not falling for it!

Macaque:... would you like this peach instead?

Reader: … No.

Macaque: Awe come on my love! You need to eat something!

Reader:...

Runt: *Scampers up holding a small peach around half the size of the warlords with a slight bruise on it.*

Reader: Aren't you just the cutest. Thank you *Proceeds to eat peach without complaint*

Wukong and Macaque: Oh come on!

[angies-writing-blog]

Title: Stardust Pair (?) : Destined One / Reader ; The Great Sage's Broken Shell / Reader Summary: Your hands reach for the Destined One’s staff, shaking and unsteady, your movements. Yet, you cling to this fragile glimmer of hope. How to hold it, how to wield it—you do not know. Instinct alone drives you to swing it wildly, recklessly, toward your foe with all the remaining strength you can muster.

[googleitlol]

I actually have an reader insert fic that’s mostly my own headcannons and plot points jotted down where the reader is a healer but there’s more to it than that. Reader’s healing can influence more than just the body, but the mind as well. Sort of like having the ability to soothe the mind of others as well as heal physical wounds.

The way I planned on when she meets Wukong is when he’s actually going on his rampage through heaven (after getting out of the furnace) and she crosses his path when he’s fighting a celestial official. She decides to help out and stop him from going apeshit and almost dies in the process.

Wukong literally has her tackled to the ground and is ready to beat her head in with his staff when she grabs at his arms and uses her ability to calm him down.

It’s like a wave that immediately washes away his blind rage and he sort of lowers his weapon in this stunned confusion. He doesn’t let her get up at first because he wants answers to whatever the hell she just did to him but when he asks, her only answer is to spit at his face and reply with a “I kept you distracted, bastard monkey.” Then the official from before jumps back into the fight giving her the chance to book it.

Long story short, when she’s forced to go on the journey, Wukong is constantly asking for her to heal him. He can do it himself, but he also likes that added bonus of how his mind becomes clear. It’s like her touch can tame the most violent of storms that plague a person’s mind.

If only her words were as kind as her gift…

Hear me out, Hear me out.

(This is with Reborn Sun Wukong in mind but could be for any of them)

Reader has healing powers so after every major battle they tend to be the one that fixes up the group. Sun Wukong is a damn menace to heal up because he’s impatient af. (Yes he could just heal himself but he’s not going to. No he will NOT elaborate as to why not) But reader takes their sweet sweet time healing him, going slower every time he tells them to hurry up. He loves haaates how good their hands feel on him and they’re being careful and gentle and he also hates the dumb mushy thoughts that fill his head. So when reader finishes up he storms out in a huff and when Zhu Bajie comes over all giddy about it being his turn to be healed, now even angrier because how dare- (those delicate touches should only be for HIM) Only to be met with Reader just like…waving a quick hand over Bajie to heal him. Wukong then realizes all at once that reader has been messing with him the whole time.

He really hopes they keep messing with him.

Disclaimer/Content Warnings

To avoid major confusion regarding the contents of my blog, moreso in regards to the LMK Eternal Servants AU's background, I decided to add a bit of a warning so viewers can decide whether or not they feel comfortable with viewing more of the AU or not. And it's absolutely fine if people don't like it, but I don't want people misinterpreting the blog's contents and taking it all out of context while spreading misinformation again.

The contents of the AU can be read/viewed like a one-shot. You don't need to look much into the darker contents to enjoy the lighter ones, and vice versa.

However, the Eternal Servants AU, despite it's majorly fluffy interactions and role as comfort AU for those who need it, does indeed have darker aspects to its lore and storytelling. And I'm aware of how there's people that have a harder time tolerating these things, despite the context it's being used in. Such as the mention and/or description of:

gore & dismemberment

cannibalism

violence & torture

(mass) murder

branding

mind alteration (memory & personality)

cult behavior

death

More points might get added if I can think of more of what happens/happened in the lore.

The AU's lore is to be considered as Dead Dove: Do Not Eat. Viewer discretion is advised.

[Obligatory Disclaimer about Nezha from *specifically LMK]

This blog accepts specifically Lego Monkie Kid Nezha as an adult and an optional love interest for the reader/viewer within its contents. If you believe he's a kid, regardless of how he's canonically depicted as an adult in specifically the not-to-be-taken-serious parody show of LMK, that's fine and I respect that headcanon. However, don't even try to shove that headcanon onto me or my own content as I prefer to go by logic and basic respect, as well as my own preferences and headcanons. Getting into an argument over this is absolutely pointless.

*I keep saying "specifically LMK" because that's the only version of him that I would ever do content of, as that is the only version I've ever been interested in working with. I refuse to touch upon the topic of any other version of him. And I don't see the opinion regarding comparing this fictional version to the JTTW version, or another fictional version in general, as a valid point in an argument.

[Also about Bean!MK from ESAU]

The existence of Bean!ESAU!MK is a cute and fun crossover/collab AU and is not considered to be canon in my Eternal Servants AU nor in @theweepingegg's AU of The King and His Cub. Our two beans don't meet in our respective AUs, and my own Bean!MK is only depicted as a child in our crossover/collab art. ESAU!MK was not a child when he became a servant/champion. Look out for the "#bean!mk" tag on my posts to see which ones are about Bean!MK and which ones are just the regular adult ESAU!MK being depicted in a chibi art style.

Additionally, you may also find Bean!MK under "#bean cubs". Eddie and I have decided to make this crossover its own little AU.

Further disclaimers may be added if more things come up.

The Sweetness of Rot

I would like to put something other than my jttw story out there to keep y’all entertained when my adhd inevitably kicks my ass and says it’s time to hyper focus on something else.

So I am introducing you to my Lego monkie kid fanfiction call The Sweetness of Rot.

Now before I continue I would like to warn you all that is fic’s first tag will be dead dove do not eat. It is not for the faint of heart and deals with heavy and mature topics that could trigger or make you uncomfortable. (But I won’t be diving into any of those in this post. This is just an introduction post)

The Sweetness of Rot is a story about a Wukong, being his dumbass self after his journey and accidentally creates a stone egg with borrowed powers he got from the Buddha. From this stone egg (my oc) Sun Tao (yes he named her peaches what else did you expect) emerges, though not fully formed like Wukong was, she emerges as an actual baby.

Wukong after finding her takes her to Quanyin’s to see what the hell he can do about it. When he arrives his former master is there, as well as the Jade Emperor and the Buddha himself. They debate for a few days weather Tao should be allowed to live (Jade doesn’t think she should be. He thinks she’ll be to dangerous considering the power that made her and the person raising her.) well with Guanyin and Tripitaka promising to help raise her the Buddha allowed Tao to remain and Wukong returns to ffm to announce that they have a princess!!

This is the character sheet I made for her.

Cursed Warlord AU - Reader & MK Talk

Might make this canon to au... Not sure yet. The scene just would not leave my head.

Summery: After the journey Reader is sent back to her world, and both of the warlords believe she is dead. They are married and raise Xiaotian when they find his egg, the small amount of chaos energy reminds them of Reader. And he has powers similar to both Sun Wukong and The Six Eared Macaque.

He is able to convince his dads to let him live in the city. It takes years but he convinces them and works at Pigsy’s noodles meeting a young woman named Reader who is now his co-worker. Someone who just moved into town a few months before him.

He gets into a fight with his dads about them wanting him to come back but he doesn’t want to live on the Mountian. Because of this he is sitting on top of the restaurant when Reader finds him.

“MK?” You call out in confusion when you first noticed his feet dangling off of the roof.

It had shocked you to see the young man curled up with a look of defeat across his face. His arms crossed over his chest as he pulled his knees up to his chest as you made your way out of his apartment window to get to him. You had to borrow a key from Pigsy just to get through the window.

“What do you want?” He grumbled not looking at you as he stared up at the night sky.

You remained silent for a moment before sitting down next to him. Looking down you noticed the fall would probably hurt so you crossed your legs and sat just a little bit away from the edge. You knew something was wrong but for the life of you, you couldn’t figure it out.

“Are you alright?” You questioned, looking out at the stars not wanting to pressure him.

“What do you care?” He bit back a frown setting on his face as he turned to face you, but it relaxed when he noticed how calm you looked.

“I care about my friends, and you’re my friend. We’ve been through quite a bit you know, you saved me from the Spider Queen, and you stopped that one demon from courtnapping me remember. Is it so confusing to think that I care about you?” You chuckled awkwardly unsure of what he meant with his question.

Mk’s eyes widened in shock, he hadn’t thought of that. Then a frown set back on his face, you only cared because he helped you. Why was that disappointing? His parents were right, they were the only ones who loved him unconditionally. No one else cared-

“Then again, I cared before then. You’re a cheerful person it’s no wonder that everyone cares about you so much,” You laughed fondly before finally looking him in the eyes.

His eyes were wide with shock, “Not everyone cares about me,” He finally bit back.

“That’s true, there will always be people that won’t care. Every person is different… but you do have a lot of people who care about you. Pigsy, Tang, Sandy, Mo, you’ve got Mei always hanging out with you, haven’t you also befriended Redson?” You teased about Redson causing Mk’s face to flush. You knew full well of the crush he developed on the Second Demon Bull Prince. “Redboy is also someone who has been hanging around without trying to kill anyone you know.”

“…Yeah. There are people who care,” He mutters lowly. “But why?”

You glanced at him before staring up at the stars again. You thought it over, the silence slowly becoming tense as Mk waited for a reason. Some real reason that people cared about him, that they would truly want to be his friend.

“I can’t say,” You respond finally and Mk felt his chest tighten, there was no good reason was there.

“Oh.”

“Well I can’t say why THEY care,” You emphasize before looking at him again with a smile.

Looking at you with a calm look he waited again, even though he wanted to run away so he didn’t have to listen to any more of this. It hurt, he didn’t want to listen about what he did to EARN their affection. He just wanted to be loved for who he was, he wanted people to care for him without them asking for something in return. But regardless he couldn’t bring himself to move so he sat there listening to you speak. Each word made him freeze.

“I can tell you why I care though. I care because you’re you. I care because you’re MK. I care because you are a good person. I care because no matter what I know you try to do what is right even when others try to push you down or push you in a different direction,” You explain hoping that he could feel the sincerity of your words.

He stared at you wide eyes for a moment before asking, “But- But what if I wasn’t a good person? What if I got pushed down? What if I got sent the wrong way?”

“Why does that matter?” You asked in response after a moment of silence.

“What? Why would it not matter?” He bit back tears flooding his eyes.

“It doesn’t matter because you ARE a good person. Because you GET BACK UP when you get pushed down. Because you turn around when you get pushed the WRONG WAY. Mk listen life is full of ups and downs, there will always be something that will test you in one way or another. I don’t know what is going on but… no matter what, you know I care about you. Even if you don’t KNOW that, I do, I care about you just like your other friends care about you,” You hope that’s the right thing to say, even though it didn’t make complete sense… You weren’t very good at this were you?

Mk stared at you thinking, what was wrong? What was wrong was the fact his parents didn’t think he was old enough to live in the city. What was wrong was his parents wanting him to go back to the island. What was wrong is that they continued to try to protect him when he didn’t need it. He moved to the city to prove he could do SOMETHING for himself, and he had… he had done many things for himself. He fought the Demon Bull King, The Spider Queen, many other demons, he had made a living for himself, he had saved lives and he had survived against threats of all kinds.

Even after all that his parents still didn’t see him as an adult they still didn’t see that he was loved and cared for while actually getting the freedom to CHOOSE what he wanted to do. He could feel the tears building in his eyes, he knew that this had nothing to do with thinking that the others didn’t care for him, he knew they did. He just wanted his parents to see that as well.

“My parents… they want me to move back home,” He barely let out the whisper, letting out a choked sob, he didn’t want to go back. It hadn’t even been six months and they wanted him to come back. “But I don’t want to go back. I want to stay HERE.”

“Do- Do you not get along with your parents?” You begin with a frown, suddenly worried for his actual mental health.

“It’s not that! It… I just…They make me feel so trapped like I can’t do anything without them. But I can! I can do things without them… I just wish that they could see that,” He almost yelled trying to calm down while still being upset. “I-It almost makes me… hate them! I- I just don’t know what to do anymore!”

“… Have you told them that?” You asked curiously.

“What!? NO! I could never tell them any of that, they would never take it well. They… they wouldn’t even listen I’m sure,” He growled out thinking back to their last argument.

‘You wanted to see the city and you have, now it’s time to come home. Where it’s safe,’ his baba’s words echoed through his own glamoured six ears, he didn’t want to think about it. He just wanted them to listen to him for once!

You sat in silence for a moment before finally saying, “…How will you know if you don’t tell them?”

Mk didn’t respond at first as he took deep breaths. He wouldn’t know their reactions unless he actually said something would he? But these were HIS parents, the same ones who want him to train more, to stay by their side and become a warlord like them. He didn’t want that, he didn’t want to be a warlord, he wanted to be a hero, someone people would actually look at without fear or hatred.

“I just do… They just want me to stay with them like… like some child!”

“They want to protect you…” You muttered thinking back on your own experiences, when you were trapped, when you had no where you could turn to except for the ones who held you prisoner. You had been a Queen but you didn’t have freedom, and freedom was something that you valued highly in life. “But you feel trapped with how they do it? Is that right?”

“Something like that…” Mk curled up again silently letting some tears freely fall down his cheeks.

“I’ve been through that once…” You had been trying not to think about them, but how could you not? You had returned to the world they resided, one wrong move and they would find you. You had already left them three times and each time they got more and more desperate to keep you close. You weren’t sure how to tell Mk that, especially since his parents probably weren’t world dominating Warlords like your husbands were.

“You have?” Mk sounded disbelieving.

“Yeah… I… I was married once or still am… I think. Anyways, I was married and my husbands were… well they were powerful warriors and known far and wide. They hated when I would get in danger and every chance they got they would drag me back to their home. They didn’t want me to leave because they were afraid of what would happen,” You explained hoping to give him some comfort in knowing he wasn’t alone.

"So what? You think I should.... Just go back?" he asked slowly before scoffing.

"No. Nothing will excuse a person's actions. I'm saying that there are reasons, reasons that show how much they care about you. Maybe if you spoke with them and told them exactly how you feel... They might listen, after all they do care about you,” you said as you pulled him into a hug," May be they would listen to him like Sun Wukong and Macaque didn't listen to you.

MK thought about it, maybe just maybe they would listen to him. There was a chance, it was small, his parents never did like when he was in real danger. He just couldn't live his life on the island like he has been. He wanted...he craved...he needed freedom.

"Did you... What happened to your husbands?" MK finally asked.

"Well... It's a long story," you start but decide to sum it up, sort of. “But they think I'm dead.”

"What? Who are your husbands?"

"Sun Wukong and The Six Eared Macaque."

[phoenixeclipse-lmkau]

So, I have a thought about Spirit;

Spirit: This is my fabulous sister, Queen of Flower Fruit Mountain.

Reader: (waves)

Spirit: and these are her lame, don't deserve her, pathetic husbands.

Wukong & Macaque: hey now-

Like, Spirit taking advantage of being Reader's sister to be the most annoying in-law she can

Yaasss!! If and when the dust settles and if Reader actually accepts them. Yes this would totally happen, heck I can see so many scenarios where she would be like this.

Spirit does NOT like the two monkey demons who stole her sister away. The sheer number of times she will try to get her sister back is astounding.

Heck, she'd be like this even with MK. Since Reader is PROBABLY going to adopt him. Spirit would be the cool aunt who gives him anything he wants. Especially since she is not good with knowing what they actually need.

Anyways I love this idea sooo-

.....

The room was filled with demons and celestials alike, many coming to Flower Fruit Mountain in hopes of becoming allies or at least making sure they wouldn't be harmed by the Monkey King and his Warrior. Others simply came to meet the new Queen they have taken.

Sun Wukong and The Six Eared Macaque were very well known to keep everyone they can away from their new mate. News had spread like wildfire at the news of the two taking on a mortal human woman as their mate. A few didn’t believe it others believed that this would be a great way to finding a weakness between the monkey king and his warrior. Some even speculated that one of them had cheated on the other, however none of that was true.

The room was filled with demons and celestials alike, many coming to Flower Fruit Mountain in hopes of becoming allies or at least making sure they wouldn't be harmed by the Monkey King and his Warrior. Others simply came to meet the new Queen they have taken.

Many glanced around trying to locate the only human within the midst and finally they did. A young maiden, dressed in a long dark red hanfu with vibrant gold embroidered throughout the fabric. Roses decorated your hair along with jewels that dangled beautifully around your head and through your hair.

Some attempted to approach you but all were sent away by the small monkey demoness that accompanied you. A dark furred one with floating hair and light grey eyes. The one known as Spirit, the daughter of one of the Monkey Kings generals. The only ones able to get closer were your husbands who were willing to just scoop you up into their arms.

Both monkey kings had increased their size while the festivities were taking place.

“Brother!” Sun Wukong loudly called out when none other than the Demon Bull King walked into the ballroom.

You felt a shiver run down your spine at the sheer sight of the mighty and huge demon before you. It was absolutely terrifying to see someone so huge. Your attention however was turned away to someone else. A woman with long black hair and deep black eyes, she was watching the Demon Bull King like a hawk. But then turned her attention to you.

“Hello, you must be the woman everyone has been speaking of,” She spoke elegantly as she walked up to you gracefully.

Spirit immediately bared her teeth and growled at her, “What do you want?”

“I merely wished to speak with the new Queen of the Mountian. My name is Princess Iron Fan, and yours?” Her eyes watched you calmly though they narrowed slightly as she waited for a response.

You didn’t know why she approached you, she was a celestial who had nothing to do with you. And if she was anything like they show which you weren’t sure if you should trust her. In fact based on everything you knew, you shouldn’t trust her.

“Reader, her name is Reader MY Fabulous and wonderful SISTER, The Queen of Flower Fruit Mountain,” Spirit answered for you, emphasizing the fact that you were siblings, sworn siblings but details. You also noticed how she spoke about you being Queen rather bitterly which wasn’t really surprising.

You waved awkwardly unsure of what to do when you felt two familiar presences behind you. Turning slightly you noticed your two husbands arrive, Wukong wearing his usual smirk and Macaque narrowing his eyes at the woman before them.

“And these are Readers completely useless, lame, and don’t deserve her pathetic husbands,” Spirit said smugly.

“Excuse me what did you just say?” Wukong growled but before attacking he was held back by his husband as Reader pulled Spirit to her side and sending him a stern look. Even while she shook with some fear.

So in tern yes Spirit will be the most annoying sister-in-law that these two monkey demons will ever have. Especially because she is the only in-law that they currently have. The reason for this is simple too, Sun Wukong and The Six Eared Macaque don’t have any ‘real’ family other than the monkeys on the mountain. All of which were all for them getting together and they all knew both of them before they got together. So they weren’t trying to learn about new people.

Thank you so much for this ask!! I greatly enjoy seeing people liking my content!

Cursed Warlords AU - Chapter #9 - Monkey Bath

Everyone is safe, though several members are quite dirty, including Wukong and Macaque. You decide that it’s long since time they needed a bath, unfortunately they don’t seem to want to cooperate.

Wukong was the first to wake up. He was no longer wet nor was he cold. As he sat up to look at his surroundings he spotted Macaque curled up next to him letting out half sleepy chirps. It was adorable! Wagging his tail he lightly batted at his mate's face only to get his paw batted back away.

About to make a game of it Wukong froze when he heard the wooden floor creak. He whipped his head around to look at you as you crouched down in front of the bed that he and Macaque were laying on. A wide grin covered your face as you reached a hand up only for Wukong to bat it away and growl. His hackles raised as he stood in front of his still sleeping mate. Though with the sound he made his mate soon woke.

“Sorry, sorry,” You muttered taking your hand back and noticing the small faces glaring at you.

While you chuckled you couldn’t help but feel a little disheartened at their hostility. None the less you backed away and gave them space. You could practically feel the eyes that watched your every movement. Their little eyes watched every soft movement you made as you smiled to yourself, they weren’t running away that was a good sign. At least you thought it was a good sign.

“You two could have gotten hurt. You shouldn’t run off like that again,” You said with a calm voice as you looked around the room again.

The room was very simple, with just a bed, and a dresser of sorts. However you didn’t really care about those things except for the fact that Spirit was sleeping in the bed and the monkeys were laying on top of the dresser. Curled up in your shirt, while you stretched in the room with just your jeans and a sports bra.

“Did you know there was a bath in here?” You asked aloud, mostly to Spirit before remembering that she was sound asleep in bed, there was a door leading to a bathroom.

You found this rather odd, because didn’t these kinds of villages have a bathhouse instead of single rooms? You couldn’t quite remember so you decided it would be best to shrug it off for now.

Maybe you weren’t the first to travel to this world, maybe there were others like you who got lost here. It was a possibility, one that you doubted but a possibility nonetheless. Humming to yourself you heard the two monkeys scramble off of the dresser with a soft thud. Turning you peeked your head into the room to see them looking around. You went back to what you were doing as you realized that they had no way of getting out of the room, they were just baby monkeys after all.

You furrowed your brows as you started looked around the bathroom trying to figure it out. Maybe you had to ask for water… You noticed a basin with a large lid on it. How did you miss that? Walking over to it you lifted the lid with a smile. Aha! Water!

While you were busy in the other room Wukong and Macaque were searching throughout the bedroom. They were looking for clues or signs of anything really. How dare a pretty human like you kidnap them, how dare you save them… hold on PRETTY!? They did not just think that, both glanced to their mate and frowned. What was their mate thinking right now?

‘We need to find a way out of here,’ Wukong chirped looking around, surely they could easily get out of the room.

‘Then what?’ Macaque responded his own eyes narrowing as he walked towards his mate.

Wukong looked back at him a frown spreading across his face. Then what? Well obviously they would go home! But by the way his mate was looking at him that wasn’t the response he was looking for, that much was clear. Wukong let out a huff, he didn't want to play riddles today. He knew how this would go, he would tell Macaque what he thought and his mate ever the smart ass would tell him that was a bad idea and try to get him to change his mind and then they would do something else.

‘We can’t waste our time here, we’re trying to find a way HOME. A way to break this CURSE remember. So what’s the point in questioning what we should do?’ Wukong chirped rather annoyed at his mate’s look.

His mate, his moon, his beloved was glaring at him. He sat on the ground having stopped looking around the room his eyes glancing around but for the most part remained watching his mate. He slowly swiped his tail along the ground, his white fur was covered in mud and specks of dirt. He looked dirty, the very thought angered him. His mate should never be dirty not like this, he needed a grooming, a good one too.

Maybe they could put the planning on hold, and just calm down. He didn’t even have to say anything before his mate knew what he was thinking. He always knew what he was thinking. Wukong didn’t really know why, but for the most part Macaque had the innate ability to figure out what someone was thinking. At first he believed it was because of his ears but later figure that wasn’t the case. He was just very, VERY perceptive.

‘If we run out there we could get hurt, we could completely fail and end up DEAD! Do you want to fight our way out of the Diyu in THESE forms?’ Macaque chirped back in annoyance, of course his mate wouldn’t have thought about something simple like that.

Wukong opened his mouth to snap back only to stare at his mate for a moment and pout. Turning away he huffed as he jumped away trying to hide the fact that he did not indeed think about that. Could anyone blame him though? He hadn’t dealt with the concept of death is so long, it had been years and now here he was a defenseless little cub who could possibly be killed… wouldn’t his immortality already be enough to help him.

He was about to bring up this fact to his mate when you walked back into the room. A smile on your face before your eyes landed on the two monkeys, both looked back at you while sitting a few feet away from each other. A nervous look covered your face before you masked it and said words that might have actually terrified the two.

“Let’s clean you two up,” Did you really? Did you really have the audacity to think that YOU had the right to groom the KINGS of Flower Fruit Mountain!?

None of their thoughts were taking into account though as you went to go pick one of them up. Immediately Macaque who you tried to lift up jumped out of the way. At first you were shocked at his speed to move before a determined expression covered your face, these two were absolutely filthy and they both needed a good bath.

“Come on, you can’t go about dirty like this,” You said before trying to grab the cub again, who of course jumped out of the way of your arms.

‘We won’t allow YOU to groom us!’ Wukong snarled as he jumped away from your arms before you could catch him.

A frown graced your face before your eyes hardened with determination, both monkeys noticed the look before running around the room. So now here you were, running to catch one or the other just to get them clean. You’d get barely close enough to touch before they’d jump the other way so you couldn’t.

“Get back here,” You grumbled as you tried to scoop Peaches up but he easily jumped out of your way before you could.

You were about to call him again when you felt a weight on your head, giving a deadpanned look you glanced upwards to see a distinctive purple face marking. Plum had jumped onto your head to mock you, chirping several times. You reached up quickly only for him to jump right before you could do anything to stop him.

“Seriously? What is your problem with getting clean?” You asked as you tried to pick him up again.

The two chirps several things but of course as a human you didn’t understand them. Silently cursing the way that you could understand Chinese almost perfectly when you are here but you couldn’t understand monkey. It would be really useful if you could understand the two in front of you and maybe then you’d be able to figure out what to do with them.

“Come on, if you two help me out by letting me wash you then I’ll get you some food. I know you can understand me,” You spoke up, as you stopped running around and instead choosing to crouch down to look at them.

Wukong tilted his head, food sounded nice… no! He would not let his resolve crumble like this, he is strong and can be as stubborn as he wants- MACAQUE!? Wukong was in shock when Macaque walked up to you and sat in front of you. For a moment you hesitated, not sure if he’d jump away again. When he didn’t you let out a silent cheer and picked him up which immediately got Wukong to let out an angered chirp. He immediately ran up to you and grabbed the bottom of your pants, climbing you like a tree.

“Thank goodness. I’ll try to make this quick for you two,” You said walking back to the bathroom, ready to wash them up.

Macaque wasn’t sure why he did it, there was no reason he should have listened to you a mortal woman… and yet he sat there patiently as you poured a small amount of water over him. Your hands gently picked out leaves and some bugs that you found as you made sure not to miss anything. It wasn’t quick like you originally said, but it was nice calm. You barely pulled at his fur, only pulling a little too hard once or twice.

Wukong was growling and chirping angrily as he swiped at your hands while you cleaned his mate. How dare you! Grooming was only allowed within troops, it was only done with people you… loved. He shook his head, you didn’t love them, why would you love two small cubs like what they looked like? Humans were cruel beings who tried to kill his kind.

“Reader? What’s with all the- you’re grooming them?” Spirit asked as she looked into the room, her eyes filled with shock.

“Yeah… surprised you slept through me trying to get them in here,” You laughed in response.

Spirit didn’t respond to that, glancing at the two monkeys her eyes narrowing in on Macaque. Six… he had six ears, was she seeing things. Rubbing her eyes she opened them again and saw just the single set of ears that she thought he had. Maybe you were right, she needed sleep, is this how you felt after going so long without sleep.

“I’m going back to bed.”

“Alright, sleep well. Peaches can you quiet down? Spirit needs to sleep before we head out again,” You said giving a sweet smile to the monkey and almost immediately the growling seemed to stop. He stared at you, his eyes going wide at your beautiful smile.

He didn’t respond simply continued to stare at you until Macaque chirped at him. He quickly snapped out of it when he noticed his mate’s narrowed eyes, for a split second he could have sworn that his mate was… jealous. No that couldn’t be, well it could be but why should he be jealous of a mortal? Jealous of a powerful potential mate was one thing but you were a weak human who he could make bleed with his almost powerless claws now, even your hand was burned. The same burn that made you wince every time you used it. But the only reason you were using it was because they desperately needed a bath.

“And done, I hope that’s good enough Plum. Now Peaches are you going to let me clean you or are you gonna fight again?” You asked with such a gentle tone, Wukong stared at you before looking at his now perfectly clean mate. This… this was a new low.

Wukong grumbled before hopping over to you and waiting for you to get it over with. A low purr threatening to slip through his throat at your gentle hands. Of course he pushed it down how could he stoop so… so. How could he not purr when you were being so kind and gentle?

Macaque watched the interaction calmly, was that how HE looked when you cleaned him up? A warm feeling filled his chest again, the same small spark that he felt when you saved them. He didn’t want to believe it, there was no way he was going to believe it. He shook his head, it would go away and everything would go back to normal once they broke the curse. His eyes slowly glanced up to you, a concentrated look graced your face as you carefully worked through Wukong’s fur. You were being so careful, as if you were dealing with a delicate cub.

Leaning on his front paws he watched the two of you, jealousy swirling in his chest. Jealous for what? You were grooming his mate, which position did he want to be in? Your position where you were grooming him… or his own mate’s? Quickly he shoved the thought away as you slowly started humming, every now and then. A simple and sweet tune, very quiet and almost non existent but both him and Wukong heard it non the less. It was very… peaceful.

Opinions? Thoughts? Send them my way! I love to hear what everyone thinks about my fanfic!

I am really sorry this one took so long. Work is tiring but I got a day off to do what I want to do!

Loved writing this one though, Macaque might be getting rather jealous of not only the human around his mate, but his own mate! Haha~ Wonder how long I’m going to torture these two before they actually talk… hmm talking with Wukong can be hard though. We’ll see how that goes.

Part 10 - Planning

[googleitlol]

Just now realizing I didn't add something that I had fully written out but I thought I posted it already?? Did I?? It was supposed to be before this hold on…

I wanna get this out cuz I'm working on my writing when it comes to action, but it doesn't take much to get the cassock back so I'll just quickly go over it.

Instead of the original where Wukong goes to Guan Yin for help, Dove is there to help him out. She's the one that delivers that 'pill of longevity' to the demon, under the guise that it's from the old patriarch.

Before they go into the cave, Wukong tells Dove what to say. Since he saw/felt her both at the burning monastery and earlier in the mountain, she would claim that she came to find him to deliver a message from the patriarch but got scared when those frightening demons started chasing after her, mistaking them for wild animals. Oh, they were just terrifying!

She tells him that the horrid and disgustingly putrid beast from the fire that night (She knows Wukong can hear her and pulls a very convincing act while calling him every name imaginable, to rlly sell it) was terrorizing the monks and they needed his help urgently! The old monk even sent her with this pill as a payment for his good deeds if he decided to help them…

Why didn't the patriarch come himself? Why, that accursed beast has injured him so gravely, he had no choice but to send another. Surely, it's obvious that this terrible monster must be dealt with quickly!

Eventually being convinced, the demon takes the pill. That's when Monkey King has his fun, turning back into his true self and beating the thief from the inside out. Meanwhile, Dove books it to find and retrieve the cassock, calling for Wukong once she does.

When Dove lets him know she has the robes, he adds to her trauma when she witnesses him crawling out of the demon's mouth (seriously, wtf?!) and they book it outta there. I know technically Dove wouldn't be able to ride on Wukong's cloud, but this is my fic, and I have future plans. So yes, Dove is holding onto Wukong's shoulders as they fly out on his cloud.

When they get back to Tripitaka and return with his clothes, the young monk does ask about what happened to Dove's wrist. While she does ponder ratting Wukong out, she ultimately decides that she wouldn't want to see the circlet be used and covers for him.

"This? Oh, just an injury from when we had to fight that thief."

With a knowing glance from Wukong, the group continues on their journey to the west. Little do they know, Tripitaka's next disciple is much closer than they think…
