“Though,,, a reason why they leave would be nice, then I’d know if it was my fault.”
Six ear would often sneak Xiaotain food and drinks, as well as sit and eat with him. During these moments they’d talk about everything and anything. Sun Wukong being a frequent subject, along with Xiaotain’s personal life outside of being the Monkie Kid. This is how Macaque would learn more about him, it also helps him realise how much this man cares for his surrogate family (and how strained his relations with his blood family is).
I also think that during these bonding sessions Macaque would try and entertain Xiaotain with his shadow puppets or dumb stories, in an effort to try and get a spark of the overly happy kid he saw in episode 9. When that doesn’t work he storms off in a rage and doesn’t return for a few days, effectively cementing the idea that he will leave for good and leave Xiaotain behind.
Old drawing from november. re-watched the dragons short, wanted to draw the angsty japanese brothers.

More Monkie Kid au stuff that i don’t have a name for :D
@unseelie-robynx asked some good questions, and I just figured out some answers: - Why exactly, did she keep him? Xioatain acts as a battery, he’s a source of unlimited power, so long as he’s alive. He is also a very good hostage. Sun Wukong can’t act recklessly unless he risks the life of his dear student. - Why is it enough to change Macaque’s mind? Short answer: seeing how WBD treats Xiaotain makes him feel like shit. Long answer: Through multiple talks with Xiaotain makes him realise multiple things about himself and his past and current relationships. He’s held onto a very unhealthy grudge and his resentment has prevented him from properly moving on and making new relationships with other people. These conversations were not a calm or nice however, lots of yelling was exchanged, their relationship starts off very, VERY strained. I think that even by the end of the AU they will still have some problems.
If I ever expand this au, which I might seeing as I have other things planned, the story would be split in two. Plot A would follow Macaque and Xiaotain, their relationship and their situation. Plot B would focus more on Long Xiaojiao’s side of the story. She’s desperately looking for her friend, with only a few clues to go off of. I think that later on plot B would also include Wukong as he teams up with xiaojiao.
Feel free to add anything else on, this is still very much a work in progress and my first time making something like this.
First ones for @w1lmutt never posted it here and its kinda old sorry about that. Last one was a quick sketch for uhhhhhhh... misfortunate monsters au I think. My internet has been on and off so during that time i drew a lot of stuff.
