    Summary

    There was little use asking what specific memory was bothering Macaque. One, it was obvious, and two, it didn’t matter. Every thread that tied them together always looped back to encompass it all, turning the happiest memories bitter and cursing the worst of them to remain painful all the years later.

    It was their entire existence together- an existence which only got longer, with more knots in the timeline.

    Macaque came in some time later, perched more than sitting on the edge of the bed, as though he wasn’t sure he was staying. Wukong propped himself up, the two sitting barely a foot apart. Every breath or gentle rustle of sheets seemed too loud, even to Wukong’s ears.

    He laid his palm on Macaque’s shoulder, watching as Macaque twitched but ultimately relaxed under his touch. They were unused to this by now, but nothing was unfamiliar, it was all too familiar and distant at once.

    “What’re we doing?” asked Macaque, addressing the floor rather than Wukong.

    “I don’t know,” admitted Wukong.

    Summary

    “Is it bad?” Wukong asks from the other side of the fire, cast in an orange glow. Macaque looks up at him and rolls his eyes.

    “Could be worse,” he says. It’s a half truth. It doesn’t feel bad, mostly because the area has already begun to go numb, which might be worse. “Might be poisoned, though. Stupid thing was probably venomous.”

    “Shit. Is it…?”

    Life-threatening?

    Macaque snorts. “Guess we'll have to sit here and find out, huh?”

    Or, alternatively: two monkeys walk into a cave.

    (In which the best bonding is always involuntary.)

    Summary

    Today is a good day.

    At least, that's what the Great Sage, Equal to Heaven, tells himself as he rests his head in a field of grass. In three months the Heavens will demand repayment for the damage Wukong has caused them, and Wukong will find grief and fury to be his only companions left.

    But for now his eyes slip closed, enraptured by the beauty of his kingdom.

    The weather's warm...trees are primed with fruit...there's endless shade to seek refuge beneath...and there's Macaque, lying peacefully beside him and an orange held in the palm of his hand.

    Yeah, today's a good day.

    A bit of Shadowpeach fluff because I feel like this fandom doesn't get enough of it.

    Summary

    Macaque thinks that he should be able to die the way he wants, just this once.

    The flowers growing inside of him seem to disagree, as does Wukong.

    Summary

    “I’m surprised you showed up to help out,” Wukong comments after a moment or two. “Thought you’d be halfway across China as soon as the Bone Demon got dealt with. Why’d you help?”

    Macaque knows what he’s really asking. Why did you come into the scroll?

    To that, he has no answer.

    Or, rebuilding a relationship. In baby steps.
