    Summary

    Things have fallen into a comfortable routine for Sun Wukong following the defeat of Azure Lion. MK is making progress with his new form, especially under the watch of both the Monkey King and Macaque. But when Macaque is seriously hurt during what should have been a regular fight, Wukong is forced to acknowledge his past mistakes and unresolved tensions that still remain between the two.

    -or-

    Macaque gets himself hurt, and Wukong has to reassess some things.

    Summary

    “You broke into my apartment.”

    Wukong paused, blinked in visible confusion. His socked feet then continued to move across Macaque's kitchen floor. "I mean, wouldn’t be the first time I've done it, so I can’t say I’m that surprised.”

    “Wh—”

    Wukong stopped plating potatoes. “... okay, but we did make out, right?”

    Macaque sputtered. “What—no?”

    “Ah, bummer.” Wukong’s lips upturned in a little grin before he turned back towards the stove. “How do you like your eggs, by the way?”

    --

    or, it all starts with wukong breaking into macaque's apartment drunk, and now here comes the cliché of the century: two monkeys in art school (who both are secretly lonely, broken, touch-starved messes) fall in love and try to keep their shit from getting in the way for once in their life.

    Summary

    What do you want? Macaque thinks.

    Listen closely, his body seems to whisper, and all at once, Macaque becomes aware of another strange sensation stirring to life inside him, humming its arrival with a shiver. It’s not entirely unpleasant, but it aches somehow, aches in a restless sort of way, almost like loneliness, but if it were more...physical. Macaque instinctively raises his arms to wrap them around himself, squeezing his biceps gently, and somehow the feeling gets stronger as his body cries out for...something.

    He thinks...he wants somebody to touch him.

    Macaque’s body betrays him.

    Summary

    Wukong had sensed a gradual change in Macaque’s scent, an alluring sweetness that overwhelmed him. It was something he couldn’t quite articulate, and the new intensity of this feeling felt like a heavy burden. He tried to keep their interactions close and casual, while seeking more of that elusive scent, but doing so without drawing Macaque’s attention was proving to be quite difficult.

    Summary

    “About that,” Vi says. “How’d you end up here? What did a girl like you do to get tossed into this two-star shithole?”

     

    “Really? That’s how you ask? No subtlety in it?”

     

    “Uh, yeah? I saved you from getting shanked in the shower, so fair’s fair. What’s your deal, topside?”

     

    “Caitlyn,” she says. That isn’t right. That wasn’t the answer Vi was after. Names are easily given away but so seldomly remembered in Stillwater, but it echoes in Vi’s head. She almost doesn’t hear the actual answer. “And though I have no doubt a thousand people have given this answer before, I did nothing. I was doing my job, and then I was here. No trial. No sentencing. No crime to speak of.”

    Half a decade into Vi's stay in Stillwater, a topsider turns up, raving about being a Councillor's daughter.
