Summary
Varian thought he was over it. The abuse he endured from Saporian's leader. Years passed, and he found himself a hot boyfriend that he wanted to have sex with.
Okay, maybe he's not entirely over it.
Oh, and Hugo is walking on eggshells around him. It makes Varian feel even worse. A few breakdowns later they figure stuff out.

Summary
Bǎi Hé had been twelve years old when her life had been irrevocably changed.
Twelve years old when cold and death had forced its way inside her body and used her as a living puppet to serve its own twisted ambitions.
She had been painfully aware of everything her body had been forced to do - from her distasteful expressions to her rigid posture to her cruel tongue - but she hadn't been able to feel any of it.
She couldn't feel her hands clasped together but she knew that they were, she couldn't feel her legs move but she knew they were walking. The best description she had for it was that it felt like she was a ghost trapped a millimetre under her own skin - unable to feel her body but forced to contort to whatever shape it took.
Bǎi Hé's story didn't end with the Lady Bone Demon.

Summary
Chapter 5 Excerpt:
It was with some consternation that Niú considered his father's head, still proudly mounted in his trophy room over a millennium after he'd torn it from his neck.
The title of Demon Bull King was one earned by overthrowing, and usually killing, the previous titleholder, and with little exception it was normally a son forcibly taking it from his father. There were rare times a daughter or a grandchild had taken up the mantle instead but generally it was a bloody race between sons.
Niú had but one child, the Samadhi Fire leaving his beloved unable to provide him with any more, and he could not understand why his only son had not yet tried to claim his birth right. He had been nearly half his age when he had rightly taken what was his!
So, with a sixth sense for when the shadows were listening, he asked, "Why has my head not joined my father's on this wall?"
Short stories exploring various relationships from Shadow.

Sleep Training by Tuima11

Summary
Wukong’s excuse, later, would be that it was surprisingly cold that night, and his Master was right there, and he smelled—comforting or whatever, and he just looked really soft, okay, and shut up.
or:
Monkeys don’t sleep alone. Monks definitely sleep alone. And Sun Wukong is a monk, now.

Summary
When Xuanzang spotted the bundle of monkey skins dangling from the trapper’s pack, his first instinct was to flinch. But his second was to catch the man’s arm and say, urgently, “Your pardon, honored sir. Would it be possible to ask you a few questions about your line of work?”
or
Tripitaka acquires a manual entitled "On the Training of Monkeys." Bizarrely, this does not backfire on him.

Summary
MK is doing great after the Pillar Incident.
His family is safe, the world isn't actively tearing apart at the seams, there are no new villains from Monkey King's past trying to tear apart the peace they've finally received. It's great! Clearly everything isn't going to be normal, but MK can live with that.
Sure, he's getting nightmares, but that's fine! His human form is feeling more and more like a costume, and he can tell his friends are worried, but it's fine. MK is fine. Nothing he hasn't dealt with before. It's what he deserves after all.
He is the Harbinger of Chaos.
