    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

    What he saw had him pausing, his stomach rolling from where Phil’s hand shot up to cover his mouth. Wilbur was stock still, eyes wide and watery. Techno wanted to assume it was from the blazing heat they felt even from here…but he knew better.

    What remained of the village he’d visited only once in passing were smoldering remains of crackling foundations and house-frames held together by stubbornness alone. All were blackened beyond repair, stonework cracked and smeared with black ash from what had to have been an explosion. No wildfire did this- as the papers had so clearly described, but nor did they account for the village in question being reduced to rubble. Smoke rose from the ashes and encircled the heavens like a halo, raining ashen tears upon the land, desperate for its story to be told. However, it was Wilbur who was the storyteller here- and for once in his life, he seemed to have fallen silent. It was more unnerving than the village, in Techno’s opinion, though his thoughts were seldom ever asked for to begin with.

    “What…”

    “The…”

    “Fuck,” Wilbur finished helpfully.

    Summary

    Mk had wondered how much Monkey King's golden fillet must have hurt, but he'd never wanted to know.

    He doesn't have much of a choice now.

    (This fic was started when we only had as far as Season 1, Episode 9, with things from JTTW used to flesh in some things we did not have yet. As the story progresses, I will and do account for new lore/etc within reason (i.e I will not retcon current chapters or established lore of this fic).)

    Summary

    "Oh, yeah," Tommy says, pulling another tupperware out of his backpack. He locks eyes with Wilbur, ocean blue meeting chocolate brown. "Dad told me to give some to you, too, since he made so much extra."

    Wilbur raises an eyebrow. Out of the corner of his eye, he can see Techno sit up straighter. "Never known a therapist to give their clients food." When Tommy pouts, he shrugs. "But, hey, I'm not going to pass up on free lunch. What did he make?"

    "Meat," Tommy says simply, he and Techno both watching as Wilbur stabs a piece of sausage onto his fork and raises it to his mouth.

    ---

    Wilbur Soot was born with the ability to put himself into the mind of any criminal, from a pickpocket to a serial killer. It's this gift (or curse) that's made him the best criminal profiler the FBI's ever had. When he decides to start working on the case of the infamous serial killer "Angel of Death," though, things take a turn for the worse, and Wilbur starts to get lost in his own delusions.

    Luckily, he manages to find refuge in the arms of his eccentric therapist and his two sons, a rich family with a fondness for extravagant dinner parties and delicious meat dishes.

    Summary

    “Alright then! Would you all like to hear a story?”

    “If the story isn’t boring.”

    “Oh, don’t worry, it’s not. It’s about this very forest, actually.”

    Now, this story is about the monster in the forest, who was too lonely for its own good, and the little kid who decided that it wanted to keep it company.

    or

    Wilbur decides that he talks to the forest since he thought it was lonely.

    The monster of the forest quite liked that. So it didn't want him to leave anymore.

    And Wilbur surely wouldn't.
