Oooookay since AO3 is down, why not make a few questions here:D
For your The Eternal Child Of Flower Fruit Mountain fic, what do you think the Celestial Realm would have done if they learned the truth far sooner about Wukong's age? While he's still under the mountain 👀
Did the pilgrim beside Tripitaka ever suspected something, or did Tripitaka tried to tell them? Did he tried to talk with Guanyin? Or wanted to talk with Buddha?
After the Journey, did Tripitaka and little Wukong lived together, or did Wukong stay alone in his mountain? 🥺
Sorry for all the questions, I didn't downloaded your fic and miss it already xD
Omg my first ask! And theyre all great questions don't you dare apologize! I'm happy to answer.
So, I can't give away what Heaven would have done without spoiling it for future chapters, unfortunately, and I plan on going into further detail about this in future. But i can say, if they had known then they would have pulled him out of the mountain a LOT sooner and would have been kept in heaven.
Tripitaka WANTED to tell the others, especially during the times where Zhu Bajie would start up his shit and antagonize Wukong until he'd just have a straight up meltdown. But ultimately he didn't tell them, he was too worried about other demons and celestials that may have been spying or even impersonating one of them *cough cough* Macaque *cough cough*.
He figured Buddha had to have known and had suspicions about Guanyin (it's Buddha, ya know? He knows all, kind of thing and guanyin was the closest thing to a mother wukong had) and because of that Trip was always a little cross about it. (Very passive aggressive divorced father vibes)
And unfortunately Wukong and Tripitaka didn't live together after the journey. Trip went back to the monastery where he was from and Wukong went back to the mountain BUT Wukong visited Trip so often that he had a box of Wukongs things in his room, a bed roll, some extra clothes, some pencils and paper so he could draw while Trip meditated and even a couple toys that the monk was able to slip in when Wukong wasn't looking.
The monkey will deny ever playing with said toys till the sun blows up because only babies and little kids played with toys! (He totally did play with them when Trip wasn't looking)
