Men's Hockey (RPF) fanfiction recs:

Patrick Kane/Jonathan Toews [Part 2]

"I'm beyond your peripheral vision (so you might want to turn your head)" 🔒 (E) by anonymous | 3,418 | It takes the combination of prospect camp, training camp, and their first week on the road together for Johnny to realize Patrick is his soulmate. The first person he calls is Dan.

"red lips, so kissable" 🔒 (E) by anonymous | 3,569 | When Pat had finally come to him with this after six months of dating without things imploding, he'd been hesitant. "I just.... I think about making myself pretty sometimes," he had said, blushing. "Like a girl."

"crash into me" (E) by fadeastride | 3,403 | And that’s not some chick. That’s fucking Pat.

"Make The Moves Up As I Go" 🔒 (E) by agirlnamedfia | 30,354 | Patrick has his first Econ 202 class on the second day of the spring semester. It doesn’t exactly go well.

"Sommeil" (M) by MJBadger | 1,622 | Jonny being weird about public bathrooms and lots of sleepiness.

"let it all unfurl" 🔒 (M) by poeelektra | 2,545 | "Brooklyn is not Bumfuck, Tazer. And, you know, irony noted, seeing as you're from Winnipeg." "Whatever," Jon says darkly, punching fists into his jacket pockets like there’s some satisfaction to be had in stressing the seams of their linings. He doesn't care where Brooklyn is—if it belongs to this city, he's already made up his mind about it. "You're paying for the cab ride. There and back." Sharpy just laughs like Jon has told a good joke. "Sure thing, Tazer."

"and it's over, and i'm goin' under" (E) by mockturtletale | 15,011 | And that’s the story of how Kaner finds himself slumping down to the floor against his best friend’s front door, shaking a little and half covered in goosebumps. Sporting a semi and fighting the urge to cry.

"kiss and tell" 🔒 (T) by sloom | 2,169 | “Trust me,” Sharpy says, “this will be good for you.” And then, he shoves Jonny into what appears to be a mostly empty coat closet and slams the door shut behind him. “What the fuck, Sharp!” Jonny calls, pounding at the door which is, of course, locked. “Enjoy your seven minutes in heaven, Tazer,” Sharpy singsongs. Then, the bare bulb mounted on the ceiling flares to life, illuminating one Patrick Kane. Fuck.

"i don't play hard to get (i play to get you hard)" 🔒 (E) by sloom | 4,666 | Jonny starts out in twink porn - of course he does, he’s nineteen, all big dark eyes and delicate features. He never planned on being a porn star, it just sort of happened. He got injured and lost his hockey scholarship and, well, everyone has their story about how they got into porn. Jonny needed the money. Simple as that.

"left standing in the wilderness downtown" 🔒 (M) by poeelektra | 4,051 | They’re friends, though that’s always felt like a watered-down word for what they are, teammates and halves of a whole and things that are too big for language. Jonny’s his person, is all.

"anxious like the ocean in a storm" 🔒 (M) by poeelektra | 4,169 | “Did you know Savvy and Larmer combined for 220 pts in ’87-’88? Last week I watched them pummel the North Stars, a 6-point night for Savvy, with a hat trick.” He leaves off how his eyes were glued to the screen watching the two of them, because Jonny has no poetry in his soul. It just made Patrick wonder—about their futures, if what everyone’s saying is true, what it’ll be like to go all the way like he thinks him and Jonny can do—and the wondering gave him goosebumps.

"Okay, So Now You're a Vegetarian" 🔒 (M) by anonymous | 33,854 | Patrick Kane secretly decides to go vegetarian. Jonathan Toews draws the wrong conclusions.

"Good Times Never Seemed So Good" (E) by juliusschmidt | 21,171 | Johnny is a miserable bastard. Kaner is a needy fuck. They are meant for each other and also for summer on Mackinac Island, fratbro paradise.

"Media Vita In Morte Sumus" 🔒 (T) by jezziejay | 2,556 | Life is standing on the observation deck of the surgical theatre when Death finds him. “Nobody called for the grim reaper,” Jon says without turning around. There’s a soft snicker from behind him. “I’m omnipresent, I don’t need to be called.”

"I Could Dream of Ways to See You, I Could Close My Eyes to Dream" (M) by Frosting50 | 2,686 | Jonny’s head falls back against the metal stall divider with a resounding thud. He keeps making these small punched out grunts, even as he bites his lips in an effort to keep quiet. He has zero desire to get caught by some homophobic Jets fan while he’s getting his dick sucked in the men’s room at the MTS Centre, but -- Jesus Christ -- this kid has a mouth on him.

"Go, Johnny, Go" (E) by juliusschmidt | 4,387 | Jonny gives Kaner a ticket. To the courthouse. Kaner gives Jonny a ticket. To the love shack hockey game.

"don't look up, down, or to the side" 🔒 (M) by hazel | 8,282 | His mom had told him not to fall in love with houses; so had his dad, made some crack about them being worse than women, son, while his mom fake-punched him in the arm and then added, "and like people, it's what's underneath that matters, Johnny." But this is the first house he's looked at that he's liked, though he doesn't know why: it's got narrow, pointy windows with stone pieces on the tops like eyebrows, and it sits between its larger, tidier, neighbours like a poor cousin. Johnny thinks it maybe just needs someone to love it; and then he thinks: fuck.

"Let It Be" (E) by juliusschmidt | 60,127 | There’s one person who knows more about Pat than Brisson, one person who’s closer to discovering Pat’s secrets than his mom, one person who always, always, calls bullshit on him: Jonathan Fucking Toews. And following the launch of the Sun-Times article, which runs with the unfortunate headline “Patrick Kane Admits He’s Not God,” Jonny does not disappoint.

"Power Balance" (E) by thisissirius | 13,476 | The body of the email just says, “don’t fuck seguin” because Jonny doesn’t know what capital letters are and he’s a controlling asshole even when he’s miles away, and attached to it is a spreadsheet that Patrick reluctantly opens. It’s color-coded with tabs and he’s not sure whether he wants to punch Jonny in the mouth or laugh in his face. Calling him in the middle of the airport is a really bad fucking idea and Patrick knows something about those, so he settles for sending Jonny a message. YOU SENT ME A JERK-OFF SCHEDULE FOR SWITZERLAND?!

"break me in" (E) by thundersquall | 5,386 | Today Patrick comes into the locker room, shrugs off his coat, and underneath he's wearing a fucking tight tee that clings to every dip and curve of his musculature. It looks fucking painted on, and the sight of it slams Jonathan like a puck to his face, stunning and somehow primal and just bordering on the edge of obscene, how good Patrick looks in that.

"the high road is hard to find" (M) by anonymous | 11,304 | Patrick guesses this is his “third strike, you’re out” in the Jonathan Toews friendship book and he doesn’t know how to remedy that. He doesn't think he deserves the chance, to be honest.

"you look so perfect" 🔒 (E) by tarcanza | 4,270 | His eyes land on Jonny, and his rage chokes in his throat. Dries right up and flips on a dime like a fucking chemical reaction. Jonny’s lying on his stomach in the middle of his bed, reading a book. He’s in nothing but those stupid, tiny black boxer-briefs, stretched tight over the swell of his ass. One side’s jacked, fabric pushed up so that his cheek’s just hanging out all casual, fucking taunting Patrick.

"easy does it" (E) by robokittens | 2,137 | Jonny tips his head forward, rests it against Patrick's shoulder. "You got this, baby," he whispers. "You can take this; you were made for it. Made for me." It doesn't even feel like dirty talk, just like the truth.

"The Scars That Words Have Carved" 🔒 (E) by Linsky | 15,694 | “Forgive me for asking, Peeks,” Sharpy says, slowly. “But did you just kiss our illustrious captain, here?” “Um.” Patrick’s not sure what this captain business is about, but: “Yes?” Jonny’s still staring at him like he’s grown four or five extra heads, and, okay. Patrick definitely read this wrong.

"Wide Eyes" (E) by Tedda | 44,832 | When he starts hooking up with Patrick, Jonny slowly begins to realize a few things about himself.

"a hot summer night" (E) by Tedda | 5,267 | Patrick arrives in Arizona on a hot summer night. He hasn't talked to Jonny in five years, and it would have felt weird to do it over the phone for the first time.

"Dress Well, Test Well" 🔒 (M) by Kerfluffle | 9,649 | A liberal arts college AU.

"Streets of Chicago" 🔒 (E) by TheNorthRemembers | 79,749 | Patrick is 29 years old when he finds out he is HIV positive. Patrick is 29 years old when he realizes that despite giving up everything for hockey, he still might lose it over one stupid mistake, one careless, reckless night.

"blue eyes, velvet lips" (E) by Tedda | 10,356 | Prince Jonathan finds a runaway slave. Clearly, the only solution is taking the boy home.

"Wide Eyes" (E) by Tedda | 44,832 | When he starts hooking up with Patrick, Jonny slowly begins to realize a few things about himself.

"It Must Be Something in the Water" 🔒 (E) by allthebros | 40,228 | After five years away, living on the west coast, coming to terms with his sexuality, Patrick comes back to his coastal hometown to be with his family again and to start working at his dad's dealership, determined to get his life back on track, to leave behind all emotional messes and complications. But on the first morning of his return he meets Jonny, his sister's new boyfriend, and falls hard in lust with him, throwing an enormous wrench in his plan.

"Sleepless in Chicago" 🔒 (E) by sahiya | 4,894 | “Babe,” Jonny said, “how long has it been since you slept?” “Three nights,” Patrick said.

"Muscle Stim" 🔒 (E) by sahiya | 7,672 | The last thing Patrick needed was a stupid crush on the dude whose job it was to get him back out on the ice as quickly as possible.

"Didn't Know That Was a Thing" 🔒 (T) by AnythingThrice | 1,303 | Patrick notices it as he's searching the shelves in Jonny's bedroom for Madden 08: a weird glass sculpture, glossy black with bands of a trippy, swirling white pattern that seem to sit just under the surface. He figures it for a knickknack at first, some art piece his decorator suggested or—more likely—one of those locally-and-sustainably crafted souvenirs Jonny tends to bring back from his vacations.

"Not Something You Rub in (Just) Anyone's Face" 🔒 (E) by AnythingThrice | 6,736 | "Don’t wanna talk about it," Patrick cuts in, voice firmer now. As far as he's concerned they'd done all the necessary talking back in April. Offseason rules – offseason lives – set and followed and fucking done. World Cup over. Summer gone. Long past time to get back to the good stuff: friendly ice, Blackhawks hockey and being first star in Jonny's eyes.

"Shitshow" 🔒 (E) by AnythingThrice | 19,989 | Jonathan thought they'd outgrown this. Or no, if he's being honest with himself, he thought Pat had outgrown it while he'd merely shoved it aside, banished it to the realm of things it didn't help to dwell on.

"Fill Up Your Mouth with Something Sweet" 🔒 (E) by Linsky | 3,904 | The amazing thing, Jonny reflects after a couple of months with the Blackhawks, is how Patrick Kane manages to be such a good hockey player and yet so wrong about everything.

"the whole of him" 🔒 (E) by allthebros | 2,258 | Patrick did nothing else for this moment but live with inconvenient erections since they talked about doing it, only showing up at Jonny’s door in sweats and a t-shirt and his morning-long semi he’d made sure to trap in the kind of tight underwear that would make Jonny proud. Well fine, Patrick also did some video research. Watching review tapes is important. But Jonny--fucking Jonathan Toews--he got ready for this.

"What It Means" 🔒 (T) by allthebros | 1,312 | They’ve never been like this with each other before. He doesn’t know if it’s the sun, being away from Chicago and their lives, or just them finally being able to have this, but it catches inside Jonny’s chest. Little swoops in his stomach that surprise him every time, make it hard to breathe.

"Tell the Stars I'm Coming Home" 🔒 (E) by allthebros | 15k WIP | Jonny and Patrick have three weeks left to live. Three weeks to find their way back to each other.

"La Piscine" 🔒 (E) by allthebros | 2,484 | Pat didn’t think it was possible, but if anything, Jonathan Toews has gotten hotter since Pat saw him last summer. It’s kind of a bummer that they don’t go to the same college, but Pat appreciates the surprise. He doesn’t know what’s in the water up there in Montreal, but God Bless Canada.

"S(t)ick" 🔒 (E) by allthebros | 2,842 | “What’s gotten into you, man,” Jonny says, softly. The ‘you’ is on Patrick's lips before he can realize he’s thought it, hysterical laugh bubbling into his throat at the cheesiness of it, the disgusting idiocy, but instead he says, “it’s this heat, man, I can’t—” Think. Sleep. Fucking drink a beer like normal. Look at Jonny and see what he used to see.

"Shawty With You" 🔒 (E) by allthebros | 6,764 | 5 times Pat and Jonny needed mistletoe to kiss, and one time they didn't.

"134 Days" 🔒 (E) by allthebros | 3,406 | It's been a long winter without him.

"Nothin' But Blue Skies" 🔒 (T) by allthebros | 2,708 | Perhaps the middle of Wisconsin wasn't the right place to tell Jonny.

"Sonoran" 🔒 (T) by allthebros | 2,177 | Somewhat newly retired, Patrick makes his way to Arizona where Jonny's ostensibly getting his own shit together. It's summer in the desert, and it's been too long since they've seen each other.

"Just to Break My Own Fall" 🔒 (M) by Linsky | 9,092 | Patrick used to play a game with himself, when he was younger and considerably dumber: see how close he could get to Jonny, for how long, and not do anything to give himself away.

"trouble when you walked in" (T) by tourdefierce | 2,253 | The only thing more confusing than Twitter is Patrick Kane. Thankfully, Pat keeps Jonny busy enough that the former doesn't even matter.

"farmer au" (E) by anonymous | 13,940 | “No offense, man, but who steals a bunch of corn? It’s not really in short supply around here?” “It’s or-gan-ic,” Jonny says, pointedly drawing out each syllable. Deputy Kane clearly doesn’t fucking get it. His corn is probably full of pesticides and fertilizers.

"Loosen Up My Buttons (Babe)" (E) by tourdefierce | 4,848 | Tazer is always pushing him to be better—little psycho that he is—so it doesn't surprise Pat when he finds himself looking at a too tense, wound up Jonny and saying to himself, "Someone needs to fuck that douchebag silly". And then obviously high-fiving himself because heyoh, that's totally his job.

"High and Tight" (E) by tourdefierce | 2,609 | Jonny Toews gets a hair cut.

"the quiet between us" 🔒 (M) by tarcanza | 13,852 | There are screams. Thousands of them. Thousands of people. Claps, chants, cheers of victory. It should be loud. But it’s not. Here with his face hidden in the curve of Kaner’s neck, it’s not. There’s only Kaner. And Jonny wrapped around him, never letting go.

"(All My Life I've Been) Burdened by the Dreams" 🔒 (E) by Linsky | 30,170 | Patrick has two goals for himself when he comes to Chicago: Win the Stanley Cup. And don’t let anyone find out he’s a wolf.

It had been about 2 years since entry #88 had been posted. It was an entry posted about 3 months after entry #87 was posted. The video consisted of Jay and Tim sitting on a couch in an okay looking apartment, updating their audience on their lives; Jay had survived the gun shot, Alex was still dead, but their memory loss and insomnia were getting better. It was all getting better. Jay had hung up the whole “filming everything” thing. They were really getting better.

At this very moment in time, Jay was cleaning the kitchen of he and Tim’s little one bedroom apartment, happily cleaning and listening to some tunes on a Bluetooth speaker they had gotten a while back. He hummed along to the music while he wiped down the surfaces of the kitchen counters and stove, while Tim sat in the living room on the couch.

Tim wanted to help Jay clean, but considering Tim had worked all day, Jay decided he could just tackle the tidying up by himself. He didn’t want Tim to overwork himself, he deserved some time to relax.

Jay had a playlist un shuffle playing all kinds of stuff. Some Slowdive, some Fiona Apple, some The Smiths, etc. etc. He wasn’t putting much thought into what music he was listening to until one song came on; Just Like Heaven by The Cure.

He immediately perked up, gasping when hearing the first note of the song. He set the rag down on the kitchen counter before rushing into the living room, running over to Tim.

“Tim! Honey, you HAVE to come dance. Come on, it’s our song!”

Tim looked at his partner with a very amused expression. “Somebody’s excited.” He said as he stood up and stretched. “But I don’t dance.” He continued. Jay frowned before he took Tim’s hand and quickly walked to the kitchen. Tim followed along with his boyfriends antics. “Darling,” Tim started, but was quickly interrupted. “Less talking, more dancing! Come on, please?” Jay pleaded as he held Tim’s hands, but Tim shook his head. “You know I don’t dance, hun.” He said as he started to pull his hands away, planning on going back and sitting on the couch.

Jay gently rested his hands on Tim’s chest, holding the fabric of his shirt in his hands. “Just this once.” Jay said with a convincing grin on his face. Tim paused for a second, thinking it over. Maybe he didn’t have to be a grumpy bastard for once. And Jays expression was just so cute, how could he resist?

“Fine.” Tim said with a light chuckle. Jay smiled and practically jumped with joy. “Yes! I love you so much!” Jay said before pecking his partners lips. Tim smiled as he spoke. “Just this once.” Jay nodded in response. “Got it.” He said.

The taller man rested his hands on Tim’s shoulders, and Tim rested his hands on Jays hips. They slowly started to sway together. Jay looked into Tim’s eyes, grinning and singing along to the track. “You, soft and only. You, lost and lonely.” Tim followed suit and sung the next line. “You, strange as angels. Dancing in the deepest oceans, twisting in the water.” Jay smiled more at that. He leaned in and closed the little space they had between them, pressing his lips to Tim’s. They kissed at a leisurely pace, just enjoying each others energy. After a couple minutes, they pulled away.

Jay pulled Tim into a warm, comforting hug, gently rubbing his partner’s back. He was so grateful to be with Tim in this moment. They weren’t running from any eldritch monster or some crazy, estranged friend with a gun. For the past couple years, they could just focus on each other. They didn’t have any abandoned hospitals to go to, or any codes to decipher. They could just be together, and that’s all they wanted, that’s all they needed. They just needed each other.

———————————————————————————

Hey ! I wrote this super late so I apologize for any spelling errors. I think I may be hyperfixated on Marble Hornets again so I just needed to get this out lol

#fix it fic #mh jam #jay merrick #tim wright #I wrote this so late #marble hornets #I’m sorry if this sucks ass #established relationship

The sun had long set

The sun had long set. The companions had all found themselves at the bar in the entrance of Sanctuary. The time had long passed, much more time than they could think.

Nora slid her gaze over each individual face, examining every single friend in detail.

Preston and Sturges are no longer hidden and are now close to each other, with Mama Murphy between this strange couple, a mixture of shyness and pride.

Then Danse's puppy-like eyes light up with pleasure as he share a beer with her, no longer in his power armor.

Then came Valentine, her very best friend. His bad hand was possessively close on the shoulder of his girlfriend Sarah, while his good hand swayed the tip of his beer - made by Sturges with oil - which no longer had black paint in it for the day.

Strong, he takes all the couches added in front of her office just for his own purpose, even if Shaun likes to tag along.

Cait, sit on the armrest beside Preston, and send him a couple of fists from time to time when he tries to scold her.

With X6-88 standing by her side, he was the last to arrive at the place. He had just disembarked from Diamond City with a special package that was as hidden as his thoughts, even from his "mother".

On the other side of the little corner belonging to the companions, MacCready has been keeping his son - who is also best buddy of Shaun - at arm's length since he brought him back home.

Nat kept her fingers laced in the short red hair of the teen, having already settled things between them. Like his father, who kept a wary eye for strangers but a warm heart for those close to him, Duncan had shyly accepted it all, all tato of his ears.

And lingering behind them, with his arm around Piper's waist all giggles for now, is Hancock, the handsome king-of-zombie-like second-best buddy in the heart of Nora.

And... And as far as Nora searched in the closed place, she couldn't catch sight of her brother-of-heart.

Yeah, there is no trace of Deacon, for the second time in two days.

The sun had long set and the alcohol may have flowed, but the day was not over yet. She could have thought better than avoid a new crisis.

Because in her little heaven, suddenly the hell is raised by loud noise and flashing lights.

All the companions were on war footing the second they heard the first detonation, and as Piper closed her arms protectively around the youngest, they all threw themselves onto the street.

That's when the sky was transformed into a flashing hell for the second time, with the blossoming explosion from another world.

No, not a mess, but a beautiful explosion of colors and lights.

As Deacon laughs welcomed them and the shouts for action were replaced by aww of admiration, she came at his side.

"How in the world have you find fireworks?"

He take the time to details all the faces upped toward the night sky then whispered a long adventure in her ear.

She couldn't help but laugh as the childrens ran their lives on the street, just as the adults had done minutes before.

This was the worst lie Nora had never heard.

"Happy 3rd April Fool's Day," said Deacon with a smile.

"Happy Deacon's festivities," she said back, clasping his waist and resting her head on his shoulder to immerse herself in the spectacle.

The sun had long set.

“And you may ask yourself, ‘Well, how did I get here?’”

How did the world get so lucky to see Stop Making Sense, the Talking Heads film that is arguably the best concert movie of all time – at the very least, it’s in the top handful – anew on an IMAX screen with spectacular remastered sound? Particularly after decades of having to watch it on small TVs or computers or pads or (shudder) cell phones?

Brought back into theaters in honor of the 40th anniversary of the film, seeing Stop Making Sense on the big screen again after so long is (once again) a revelation. We see the majesty of the vision of Talking Heads and director Jonathan Demme in which they make what can be the most static and dull of film genres – the concert film – suddenly come alive with magic and whimsy.

It doesn’t hurt that the music is jamming (this was from the tour for the band’s biggest hit album Speaking in Tongues), the playing is oh so tight, and the choreography is off the hook.

This is one of those rare concert films that not only makes you wish that you were there for the show – but it makes you feel like you were there.

And considering that this was from the last extended tour by Talking Heads – they released three albums over the next five years after this, but never again toured before sort of unofficially ceasing to be in 1989, (they never really officially broke up, but never got back together other than a few occasional one-offs over the decades) – this is about as good as it is going to get for people who want to watch this pioneering band live.

Which is good because Stop Making Sense is sort of a deconstruction of a traditional concert. The four band members come on one at a time, with each of the first four songs. The roadies and lighting and sound techs are still onstage building the sets as these early songs are being performed. This puncturing of the fourth wall is undeniably fascinating, not only enjoying the performances but seeing the magic behind the curtain.

Lead singer David Byrne starts things off with an unhinged acoustic guitar and boombox performance of their earliest single, “Psycho Killer.” Then bassist Tina Weymouth joins Byrne onstage for a gorgeous take on “Heaven.” Chris Frantz comes up with them for the third song, “Thank You For Sending Me an Angel.” Jerry Harrison comes up for song number four, “Found a Job.”

By the time the group hits the wildly soulful “Slippery People” and the band’s biggest hit “Burning Down the House,” all of the other live performers – including the legendary funk keyboardist Bernie Worrell and some shockingly good backing singers, are filling the stage, mixing wild choreography with some spectacular singing and playing.

And of course, you can’t forget David Byrne’s big suit.

The music and wild dancing slay, including the quirky jogging in place movements of “Life During Wartime” (Byrne actually eventually jogs around the stage multiple times) and the deep South blues of “Swamp.” There is the sweet romantic optimism of “This Must Be the Place (Naïve Medley)” and the neo-evangelical favorite “Once in a Lifetime” and even a throbbing version of Frantz and Weymouth’s side project Tom Tom Club’s hit single “Genius of Love.”

By the time the show climaxes with the spectacularly soulful “Girlfriend is Better” (the song that lends this film its title, the group’s quirky rethink of Al Green’s gospel favorite “Take Me To the River” and a wild “Crosseyed and Painless,” the band and the audience are in a sweaty fervor.

Sorry for the superlatives but Stop Making Sense is pretty much perfect.

#3 and #17!

Thanks for sending something in from the AO3 wrapped ask meme! 😊

3. What work are you most proud of (regardless of kudos/hits)? I am weirdly proud of Take these bricks and bury me (Jonathan Toews/Claude Giroux winner's room). I poured a lot of sweat and heart into it, and I like how it came out, how it balances the anger and heartbreak with the porn, even if it predictably didn't do very well because lmao rarepair baby. It feels like a very typical neb fic, though. (Will I ever be over my Jonny feels? All signs point to no.)

17. Your favorite character to write this year? That's an easy one. Trevor in 88 minutes in heaven (Trevor Zegras/Patrick Kane winner's room, rated E) ((sidenote: anyone sensing a theme here? LOL)). hands down. That POV was very different from what I usually write, and it's certainly been a ride. Trevor's ADHD brain was lots of fun to explore, his weird association jumps and absolutely zero filter made me write whatever popped into my head and that was kind of freeing. Plus I got to insult Kaner 🤣

#I did not expect how difficult it would be to favorably talk about my own fic 🙈😅#nonnie asks #neb talks #writing #fanfic #ao3 wrapped

Heavenly Pig (2005) 天上掉下个猪八戒

Director: Fang Runnan / Tao Xiaoyou / Liu Mingsheng / Lin Bowen / Xue Fangyi Screenwriter: Su Mu Starring: Li Ye / Sun Ye Genre: Drama / Comedy / Animation Country/Region of Production: Mainland China Language: Mandarin Chinese First broadcast: 2005-02-09 (Mainland China) Number of episodes: 104 Single episode length: 12 minutes Also known as: 天上掉下個豬八戒 Type: Retelling

Summary:

At the Queen Mother 's birthday party, Marshal Tianpeng coveted Fairy Chang'e's beauty and pursued her daringly, so he was punished by the Jade Emperor and demoted to earth. During the escort, Marshal Tianpeng broke free from his shackles and wanted to escape, but he was accidentally reincarnated as a pig. In order to help Zhu Bajie, Guanyin Bodhisattva gave him Ganoderma lucidum, and Zhu Bajie's appearance changed from a pig to a pig's head and a human body. Zhu Bajie couldn't bear the humiliation and flew back to heaven to seek an explanation from the Jade Emperor, but was ridiculed by his former lieutenant Fudi. In order to retaliate against Fudi, Zhu Bajie dug up the Tianhe River, and Fudi was demoted to the human world. Tu Tu invited Zhu Bajie to be the security guard of his temple. Zhu Bajie drove away the wild boars that often caused trouble, but he could not deal with the cunning mice. Fudi therefore harbored a grudge against Zhu Bajie, and the two began to battle wits in the human world, which led to a series of hilarious and humorous stories.
