AU where Wukong didn't kill macaque (i know, hear me out) and it was a long play by LBD to get Macaque on her side or smth. And Macaque fell for it despite being a master of illusions himself...maybe LBD used the shadows against him? 🤔still playing around with that

anyway, Macaque eventually realizes this after LBD dies and now he's awkwardly got to apologize to wukong about it, but Wukong wants nothing to do with him because he's deeply hurt that Macaque thought he did that.

then: Macaque awkwardly hanging around Wukong and trying to get back into his good graces only for Wukong to blow up at him and vent his hurt and frustrations and macaque is just...really regretful

they eventually make up or whatever, but i saw someone mention they like the flavor of "macaque hanging around wukong, and wukong wants nothing to do with him" and i was like yeah, that'd be easy to make an AU for because there's nothing too complex going on LMFAO

#if this were to be an actual thing from me it'd be called #dust au #but idk when i was typing this out i thought 'hmm i don't actually like this'#idk why LMFAOOOO #it could work but something about things playing out /this/ way doesn't seem right to me #i think i can only get with the 'macaque is a little annoying shit to wukong' if they both legitimately did bad things to each other.#hmm don't like that either LMFAO #maybe because macaque can be a little annoying shit to wukong even if wukong killed him LMFAO #like!! i don't think the petty fighting and macaque desperately wanting wukong's attention is specifically tied #to events having to play out a specific way #in constellations macaque is constantly a little shit. like he wants to hurt wukong sure but he also wants to annoy him #he wants wukong's attention /no matter what/#no matter the au #so i guess it feels disingenuous to be like 'macaque only acts like this in this specific case!' nah #that's just his character #and if macaque is enough of a little shit. then wukong will start walking away
