Snow Macaque AU

Cosmos Monkeys AU (if the name is already used then I'm sorry I don't remember if anyone else used this)

I saw some Aus , about Macaque and Wukong being the phisical and literal representation of the Sun and the Moon as celestial bodies made monkeys living in the cosmos or space kingdom (or gods that control the sun and moon)

And it gave me an idea for a story

Macaque and Wukong are monkeys born from the cosmos

Wukong from a supernova and Macaque from a dying star on the verge of becoming a blackhole

Macaque and Wukong were the only monkeys living in space and therefore became childhood friends , over the years they became more powerful and more intimate with each other

Heaven feared them so they killed them but the two reincarnated as Wukong and Macaque in the mortal realm

Heaven eventually noticed this fact when Wukong started messing with them so they tried to eliminate them again but it only resulted in kinda leashing Wukong and losing sight of Macaque , but seeing as the two monkeys fought , Heaven wasn't worried about their closeness giving them more strenght and could kill Macaque without Wukong even noticing , even making Macaque think it was Wukong's fault in case he somehow escaped the underworld

Macaque got the memories of his previous life in the underworld because of the circle of reincarnation or lady bone demon gave them to him and became even more resentful to Wukong about their broken relationship because it could have been as close as the one in their past life but he ruined that chance

Then Lbd revived him and the event of the lmk serie goes on kinda like normal plus a shadowpeach reconciliation to friends (later more)

In Shadow's play when Macaque says the Hero and the Warrior are like the sun and moon it has more meaning then MK could immagine

Then there is the fact that while Macaque remembers their past life , Wukong still doesn't , so when Macaque gets hit by nostalgia or does an habit or an action he used to do from his past life Wukong is oblivious , clueless or find the new habits strange and Macaque has to live with the fact that his past life lover doesn't remember him and is probably no more because now there is only Sun Wukong

I don't know if the ending should be Macaque learning to live with there only being Wukong and learn to love him as well

or

Wukong discovering about Macaque's memories and trying to get his past life memories as well with two different versions were in one he succeeds and the other fails and Macaque accepts him as he is even without memories

So... I had a new idea for an lmk Au (I didn't think of a name) , or more like an idea for a variant of Macaque. Seeing as some of the fandom likes for Macaque to be a celestial primate with/or with six ears and super hearing , and seeing as in the serie we barely know anything to confirm or deny theories , I thought "What if he was just normal/average? Well as normal as a normal demon/spirit monkey can be"

Not a celestial primate

No six ears and super hearing

No being more powerful than anyone except the monkey king

Just a regular Macaque monkey demon/spirit and not someone powerful (not until later , after meeting Wukong , and even then he's not more strong than everyone else , just most average demons)

I know that's it's kinda underwelming with all the other Aus making Macaque someone cool and powerful , and that the closest to something like this are the human Aus but I think it's not to understimate the funny mental image of a completely capable to die Macaque being done with everyone's bullshit and almost dying because of it and only somehow surviving by pure spite and luck

If someone already has this kind of Au then I'm sorry I didn't mean to copy or steal your idea

I checked my year of birth on the chinese zodiac and I'm of the year of the monkey and my element is wood

Writing Tips

Punctuating Dialogue

✧

➸ “This is a sentence.”

➸ “This is a sentence with a dialogue tag at the end,” she said.

➸ “This,” he said, “is a sentence split by a dialogue tag.”

➸ “This is a sentence,” she said. “This is a new sentence. New sentences are capitalized.”

➸ “This is a sentence followed by an action.” He stood. “They are separate sentences because he did not speak by standing.”

➸ She said, “Use a comma to introduce dialogue. The quote is capitalized when the dialogue tag is at the beginning.”

➸ “Use a comma when a dialogue tag follows a quote,” he said.

“Unless there is a question mark?” she asked.

“Or an exclamation point!” he answered. “The dialogue tag still remains uncapitalized because it’s not truly the end of the sentence.”

➸ “Periods and commas should be inside closing quotations.”

➸ “Hey!” she shouted, “Sometimes exclamation points are inside quotations.”

However, if it’s not dialogue exclamation points can also be “outside”!

➸ “Does this apply to question marks too?” he asked.

If it’s not dialogue, can question marks be “outside”? (Yes, they can.)

➸ “This applies to dashes too. Inside quotations dashes typically express—“

“Interruption” — but there are situations dashes may be outside.

➸ “You’ll notice that exclamation marks, question marks, and dashes do not have a comma after them. Ellipses don’t have a comma after them either…” she said.

➸ “My teacher said, ‘Use single quotation marks when quoting within dialogue.’”

➸ “Use paragraph breaks to indicate a new speaker,” he said.

“The readers will know it’s someone else speaking.”

➸ “If it’s the same speaker but different paragraph, keep the closing quotation off.

“This shows it’s the same character continuing to speak.”

MK: Monkey King!!!

Wukong:*startles* uh-wha Ah Hi buddy what do you need?

MK:*sweats* (How do I tell him!?)

MK: uh- so Erlang Shen , Guanyin and Macaque are together in a room

Wukong:*raises brow* is this a joke bud?

MK:...no? no it's not

Wukong:*already speeding through the horizont*

Wukong:*bursts door open* NOBODY KILLS ANYBODY-*trails off seeing the scene in front of him*

Erlang , Guanyin and Macaque:*laughing and playing poker like centuries old friends*

Wukong:*blinks* is this...a nightmare? am I hallucinating?

Thinking about the theories of a bit ago , about Macaque's possible origin being one of Wukong's clones gained freedom of existing full-time , and then I thought:

If it happened with Macaque one time then what about a second one(this time on accident)?

But this time the clone's personality and appearance is closer to the og!wukong , meaning he's a bit of an asshole but nicer than the original and we see how the others react at suddenly having a second Wukong they can't get rid of

The others are kinda unintentionally mean at first , because they don't really consider clones as people for obvious reasons , so they try to get rid of the clone at first and the clone takes it personal because he's just existing and everyone is trying to unlive him

And ironically the clone is closest with Macaque because the clone doesn't have the same problems and grudges that og!Wukong has with Mac and the same works for Mac's opinion of the clone so he's the only one not trying to get rid of the clone

And og!Wukong gets jealous in the background , he will be like the jealous ex because the clone will do anything to woo Mac

If the clone succeds or not is up to personal preference

The same idea can work with Mk instead

I feel like this would be a good song for something with shadowpeach if the subtitles I read are correct

There's already a shadowpeach animatic by relmint on YouTube that used this song

Feral Macaque AU

I had another idea for a lmk au

When they were young Macaque was good hearted while Wukong was kinda the bad one

Wukong was only nice to the monkeys and who he considered his friends and didn't have problems with being cruel or murderous to those who weren't and that pissed him off (which was easy to do)

Macaque was the most soft hearted of the two , he might not put his trust blindly to strangers like a naive fool but he isn't heartless or uncaring to people in need that deserved help

And that's the exact reason Macaque was a target for bullying , mockery and insults by the other demons

Even with Wukong's protection it only gave the others another reason to consider him weak

Wukong was Macaque's only friend and that's why Mac was so scared of losing him but eventually they fought while Wukong was trapped under the mountain sealed by Buddha and Macaque was very emotionally hurt

When Wukong joined the journery to the west Macaque got worried and thought about saving him despite still being somewhat hurt and mad at Wukong but it lead to his death instead

Macaque was furious , Wukong was the bad one , the one killing and doing whatever he wanted but got a chance to be better while he died mistaken to be a bloodthirsty monster out for the monk's blood

Macaque decided , if they thought of him as monster then he will gave them a monster

Then Lbd came and resurrected him but didn't know much of the "monster" she was dealing with

Macaque has gone feral and Lbd had to take precautions to use him

She caged him and leashed him but he would still not obey her , trying to escape and causing a rampage destroying and killing her servants with bare hands

She then used the monkey's insticts to gave him a reason to somewhat stay put for a while so she gave him Rumble and Savage to protect and care for and as a reason to obey her orders if he doesn't want them to get hurt

Eventually Mk strumbled across them and freed them and would later struggle to help and befriend three feral monkeys and try to avoid them going out for a rampage

Wukong gets involved to keep them on flower fruit mountain so they don't kill anyone and he has to try to reason with Macaque for him to return civil and maybe reconcile (by MK's request)

Shadowpeach can be platonic , romantic or simply friendship
