Summary
Philza struggled to keep standing straight, dizzy from blood loss, a white-knuckle grip on his sword.
“I have heard much of you, emperor Philza, and I have respect for you. Therefore, I’ll offer you a deal. You will surrender. You will kneel before me, right here, right now, and beg for mercy. Then I’ll take you to the Nether with me, and you’ll become my prisoner, slave, and personal servant. Or-”
The Blood God raised his netherite blade, pointing the tip straight at Philza’s heart.
“-I will allow you to die with a sword in your hand, and once you’re dead, I will slaughter your children.”
Philza fell to his knees without hesitation.
~~~
Philza had been prepared for a lot of things when he was taken as a war prize: the loss of his basic freedom, the heartbreak of being separated from his sons, the indignity of being reduced into the piglin king’s “pet”.
What he hadn’t been expecting was for the man behind the blood-stained mask to be soft-spoken, or good-natured, or tired from the weight of his crown.
Or lonely.

Summary
The tales reach Gusu in whispers, and though gossip is forbidden, even the elders find themselves growing uneasy at the murmuring that inevitably creeps along the halls and paths of the Cloud Recesses like vines of tangled weeds.
They say there's a creature that protects Yiling.
Locals claim it came from the Burial Mounds!
It's a spirit; a giant fox! They call it Húlí!
How very on the nose. Even he has heard the murmurs from within the Jingshi, and so Lan Wangji is expecting the summons well before it reaches him, his qiankun pouch already packed and Bichen humming steadily at his hip. Her presence is a warm and long-familiar weight that sways with his steps as he makes his way to the Hanshi, where Brother is no doubt awaiting his arrival.

Summary
"And then there's a customized copy of PONY PALS, a gift to you on your 14th birthday from the slippery Mr. Strider. Each page contains lovingly hand-written commentary on the deeds of this intrepid young horse. Later, about halfway through the book, rather than see the gag through to the bitter end, Strider began pasting over entire pages of original text with his own completely rewritten version of the story, while keeping all the chapter titles. His revision is a tough, emotionally draining read. But it's cathartic, in all the worst ways possible.
He tends to get carried away with his projects."Note: this work is an altered book, and it plays on the physical relationship between the original pages and the edited text. As such, it's presented as a series of images. Reading the images is the only way to get the full experience, but I'm aware that some people can't/don't want to read it that way. So if that's the case, you can skip to chapter 13, which is a text-only version of the story, including rough descriptions of the most important illustrations.

Summary
"Hey, bud, have you ever tried to shapeshift into your monkey form without the power behind it?"
"Huh? Whatcha mean by that?"
"I'm saying that you can probably shapeshift into your little monkey form and not have to fear destroying the mountain again!" Wukong bit into a peach with his characteristic cheeky smirk as he did. "You'll be able to get comfortable using it so that in the future, if you ever need it, you'll have more control than ever before!"
"I... never thought of that. I guess I can try it!"
"Haha, yeah! I'm gonna have sooooo much fun teaching you stuff!" The Monkey King laughed, his tail gripping a branch as he let himself fall and hung upside down, as if showing what MK may be able to do someday.
And so, MK set off to try just that. It was a short conversation, but one that would change how he would see himself from then on.
Who would've guessed being a monkey was so fun... and lead to more mysteries?

Summary
Wukong awkwardly rubbed the back of his neck, “Can’t we just say we’re friends again? At least for now?”
Macaque’s tongue angrily twisted in his mouth. He couldn’t hide the pained look on his face no matter how hard he tried. Now that their feelings for each other were out in the open, the idea of just being friends made him feel sick to his stomach. His bitter tone sharpens his next words, “Do friends kiss friends?”
Wukong’s tail continued to swish; he felt as if he’d just been backed into a corner. His eyes met with Macaque’s prying gaze, “Well, some fr—“ He’s cut off by the tips Macaque’s fingers being pressed against his lips. The sensation caused his breath to hitch, a reaction that is not lost to Macaque. He was struggling to find a more appropriate argument. “I’m just trying to be realistic.”
Macaque can’t stop himself from desperately moving closer to Wukong, “So am I.”
___Or: Wukong and Macaque desperately want to be together, but suffer tremendously cause they don’t know how to deal with their traumas in a healthy way.

Summary
Having a successor obviously meant spending time with them and training them. That was a given, so of course Wukong would get close to the kid! But there was absolutely no way that he was like a dad to Mk. Everything he did was strictly mentor-like, no parental action in sight. Right?

Summary
“Well, those thoughts in your head are called instincts.” Mk just looked at Macaque like he grew a second head. “Instincts? Don’t only animals have those?”
Macaque shook his head. “Humans do too, but only small ones that don’t really take actions unless they’re in harm's way.” Macaque explained. “But for demons, we may look like humans, mostly.” Mk nodded along as he explained.

“He probably said be back by tonight, right?” Mk nodded, wondering how Redson knew. “Well, go to him and just. Observe.” Mk looked at him, slightly concerned on what he meant but nodded and stood up. “Ohh could you take me home?”
Mei jumped into the air and climbed onto him, holding on tight. “I wanna see how fast you can go now.” Mk nodded with a smile. “Sure!” He was about to leave but turned to Redson, who had put his glamour back on. “Thank you so much.” Redson only nodded, his normal frown turning into a warm smile.

The Moon, the Sun, and the Black Powder Fuse by ChipperSmol, sitasita
Fandoms: LEGO Monkie Kid

Summary
Having lived through everything he had, this part always felt silly. The sitting, the breathing, and the waiting. His life was in no danger. That the logic of that wasn't enough on its own to ease the pain-- or flush out the stress that made his hands shake-- was as unfair as it was ridiculous. Baser instincts that kept a creature alive were vestigial at best when that creature existed beyond the normal laws of mortality, and yet every demon was still bound to them.
Many could avoid fate. But not even heaven, nor its equals, could escape fear.-
Macaque is invited along to celebrate the new year, and errs on the side of proving a point.

Monkie See Monkie Do is stand-alone, but but other stories will branch off of it, and can be one of many canon continuations of that AU.
If that makes sense. Basically, you chose the story! <3

Summary
What was that? A lost monkey? A shadow? A demon? At this point, who knows. He certainly can't tell.
MK's eyes and ears start to play cruel tricks on him. He starts seeing and hearing strange things that nobody else can. And, for some reason, he always feels the need to draw whenever something odd occurs. Doing so helps, but not for long.
After all, you can't chase away the things that follow you when your mind finally decides to betray you.
*This story is based on my OWN experiences with hallucinations. (Also known universaly as projecting on some poor fictional character that really doesn't deserve this.)

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.
