...I got bored and wrote this for the Sun Wukong simps. Stands are the manifestation of one's own fighting spirit and is a concept from Jojo's Bizarre Adventure. You don't need to anything about the series to read this. Can be read as gender neutral or preferred gender.
You met Sun Wukong during an invasion on a small village.
You were a lone wanderer with huge holes in your memory. The only thing you had was your name, a star shaped birthmark on your back and a guardian spirit or Stand called Zombie Mouse. You call him MouZ for short.
Apparently trolls decided it to be a nice day to ransack the village you were staying in. Especially when the village kids asked to play some Jianzi with you. You had a soft spot for children so easily obliged.
So when one of those snot green beasts tried to snatch a toddler that was watching the game, you felt obligated to bring out Zombie Mouse and obliterate the beast before it could even touch the little one's head.
MouZ' blade could turn any he slayed into a cute but dangerous plush minion that only serves him or you. The minions could also convert others if they shared the same species, your own personal zombie plague.
You began to hunt down any troll in your path, sending half to protect the villagers and the other half to keep anymore from getting in.
So imagine your surprise when you found Dāsheng of all people fighting off trolls and accidentally some of your minions too.
Zombie Mouse being foul mouthed as he is said this upon response: “What the F*CK you doing?! Go for the actual trolls, not my plushies you nimrod!“
You both shoot MouZ a dirty look but the monkey man did stop attacking your minions knowing they were on his side.
With the Dāsheng helping out, the invasion was successfully upended and MouZ turned the zombie plushies into various animal toys for the children.
It was also safe enough for the monkey's companions to come into town too: a little boy named Liuer, a baby girl named An An and a large pig yaoguai by the name of Zhu Bajie. You also learned the Dasheng's name, Sun Wukong.
Being kind, you offered to share your room at the village's inn. Once Liuer had heard about Zombie Mouse's abilities, he practically begged you to join them on their journey much Sun Wukong's annoyance.
And you decided to join to the Monkey King's irritation. Once you became part of the group, Dāsheng wasn't hesitant to show his distaste for you.
He would make rude remarks and often try to ditch you in the forest on multiple occasions as if trying to get you to leave.
Too bad you were just as stubborn as your Stand, firing back with equal ammunition. And if he tried to leave you in the woods, you had Zombie Mouse hold onto him like a leech.
You even stole his entire peach stash forcing him to find you again if he wanted them back.
Overtime, Sun Wukong began to warm up to you. You were very kind when the two of you weren't butting heads.
You eagerly answered any questions Liuer had or entertain his ideas. You would play with An An, always making the baby giggle and sung her to sleep. You even try to help Zhu Bajie with his confidence alongside working on his shapeshifting.
Even the foul mouthed Stand was capable of being nice, often carving out some wood idols as gifts and made An An a more comfortable basket to sleep in.
For him, you went out of your way to get him a thick warm blanket that he saw at one of the villages. Sometimes you make him some peach soup. MouZ once made him a wooden carving of his home, Mount Hungao.
It was enough for Sun Wukong to realize he'd fallen in love with you. A sad thought as he was immortal and you weren't.
At least, until one faithful night that you decided to tell him a shocking secret about Zombie Mouse.
The unused life years of those the Stand slayed were added to yours. And on one fateful day, you had killed an immortal. This immortal thought of collecting you like a trophy once they had saw Zombie Mouse.
How MouZ killed the immortal and gave you immortality by default. Sun Wukong knew that killing an immortal and becoming one without permission by the Jade Emperor was a death sentence.
It was at this moment that he confessed his feelings for you. Even if someone saw it as being selfish after hearing such a huge secret, he couldn't hold back his tongue.
You were shocked to say the least but you felt the same way much to the Monkey King's relief.
Although MouZ ruined the moment with a 'Took you two bloody long enough!!' The both of you rolled your eyes at the Stand's comment before chuckling.
Sun Wukong would be returning back to his home with much more than he thought. A lover to help his kingdom (and him.)
This has been in my drafts for quite a while, at least a week. Monkey King: Hero is Back is one of my favorite iterations of Sun Wukong. He's quite interesting and the grumpiness does make sense considering his particular imprisonment was so much different than his canon counterparts.
He's also one of the first Monkey Kings in the modern era (2000s), that taken a parental role albeit slow and steady. Nezha Reborn (seemingly) and Monkey King: Reborn iterations following after. If you haven't watched the movie yet and only know it via the videogame version, I highly recommend watching it.
As for Zombie Mouse, he's actually based off a cut/redesigned enemy from the first Shin Megami Tensei. He alongside another called Demon Duck were cut from the Japanese PC version due to looking like two specific Disney characters: Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck.
Although maybe we'll get the original Zombie Mouse once Mickey Mouse becomes public domain.😂 Until next time folks! Here's the illustration of Zombie Mouse! 👇
And the cut sprites for Zombie Mouse and Demon Duck for the game alongside Demon Duck's illustration.
This is cross-posted from Wattpad and available on AO3. This is an old work, the writing has improved ever since.
Enjoy~
Life sure was hustly as a Joestar.
You were Joseph's sister. You both were raised by your grandmother Erina Pendleton Joestar.
Joseph and you got along very well, even with your differing personalities.
You both loved to joke around and play, but you were much calmer, more careful, and thoughtful than the guy. On the other hand, he was more spontaneous, cunning and bolder than you.
You two were hamon users and this ability brought trouble to you as you got implied with the vampire Straizo and the Pillar man Santana. Things were about to go even further down, but you didn't know that.
You siblings were sent to Italy to meet the Zeppeli descendant, Ceasar.
At first Joseph wanted you to stay back in the U.S as he obviously didn't want to put you in even more danger, but eventually Speedwagon convinced him to let you accompagny them.
After all, you could fend for yourself and Joseph definitely needed some of his sister's brain as his own often betrayed him.
You were currently walking the sunny streets of Italy, arms linked with the good old Speedwagon.
Speedwagon was a nice gentleman who treated you and Joseph like his own children. Even if Joseph could be blunt and rowdy sometimes, you showed love to the man for both you and your brother. And Speedwagon noticed that.
You felt nothing but sheer gratitude and respect towards the old man.
You helped him walk to the plaza and decided to bring him to a bench to rest.
"Please sit down Mr. Speedwagon. I'll search for Ceasar, just tell me what he looks like."
"You are too nice, Y/N, I wish Joseph was a bit more like you." He sat down and you took his cane and put it aside. "But it's okay, your brother should be here any moment now."
Unbeknownst to you, said blonde man was looking at you both from the fountain that happened to be just next to the bench where you two were.
He watched you as you cared for the old gentleman that he instantly recognized.
He couldn't help but think how beautiful you were, shaken by how exotic your hair and eyes looked, how smooth your features were, and how graceful your curves appeared.
His expression softened when he saw you take a water bottle out of your purse, opened it and gave it to Speedwagon. How considerate, it was indeed a warm day and the Italian sun was strong in the afternoon.
At the moment, Ceasar couldn't look at any other woman than you. It was like you put him under a spell, this never happened to him before.
Something about you charmed him. It was not just your looks, it was something else. He was intrigued and had to figure it out.
You completely made him forget about that one woman he was currently courting.
"Ceasar? What's the matter?" the girl asked, almost hurt that his attention was stolen from her.
The blond nicely told her a cliché romantic line to make her go back to her love-struck state and she completely fell for it as she squealed, hearts in her eyes.
Not shaking you from his thoughts, he decided that he would check up on you, but when he glanced your way, you were already gone. Leaving Speedwagon who was soon talking to a tall brown haired male.
Said male then went up to sit at the fountain, and Ceasar resumed on his flirting session, guessing that man was the so called 'Joestar' Speedwagon told him about.
In circumstances, Joseph and Ceasar met, and were not very happy about one another. Turns out they fought while you were at the opposite side of the plaza, looking for the Italian man.
That night, your brother ranted about his encounter and you listened to him, amused. You couldn't help but be eager to meet that Zeppeli guy and see him for yourself.
The next day, you came to the same plaza, next to the fountain again, hoping to meet with Ceasar. Even if you didn't see him there today, you knew you'd have to meet him eventually since your were bound to train with him and Joseph and come out with a Hamon technique.
You paced close to the fountain, your fingers fumbling with your bottom lip, a habit you had when deep in thought. The green eyed Italian was sat at the fountain again that day and saw you pacing.
He recognized you as the gorgeous girl who cared for Speedwagon and his heart beat quickened. Finally he saw you again, and so soon, too!
On the other hand, you were thinking on how you would recognize the man or make him recognize you, as you still didn't know what he looked like.
"Should I make a Hamon move and see who reacts? No... Any normal person would react to Hamon...But it wouldn't hurt to try..." You muttered to yourself.
"Oh signorina!" You turned to the direction of the voice and approached it's blonde good-looking owner.
"You called me, sir?" you asked politely.
Your voice was just how he expected. Sweet and pleasant. He crushed on you harder by the second.
"Excuse my manners, bella, but you are so beautiful, I had to propose to take a picture of you in front of the fountain. Your shining eyes would put the reflecting water and sun to shame." Your face lit up for a moment, but not for the reasons Ceasar hoped.
"Oh, a picture in front of the fountain! Wonderful idea, I have to take one with my brother and my tutor!" you exclaimed, completely ignoring his compliments.
The blonde's face morphed into a surprised expression. No reaction? Oh you must be one of those dense women, how cute.
He then seized your hand in his huge one and kissed the back of it. "Let me introduce myself. My name is Ceasar Zeppeli. It's a pleasure to meet you, miss...?"
"Ceasar? Oh it's you! I was just looking for you!You can call me Y/N." You smiled brightly at him, taking a hold of his hand with you free one.
He flinched and blushed at the contact. Your hands were so soft and delicate. The way you held him like he was glass, your angelic eye smile, your sweet perfume dancing around him, everything about you sent him reeling.
Just who were you? To make THE ladykiller Ceasar Zeppeli, feel this way?
"Y-you uh... You were looking for me? Have we met?" he stuttered, which was very out of character for him, but he was just so overwhelmed and flustered.
You released the man and sat down next to him before answering. "We haven't. It's about developping my Hamon technique, We- Mr. Speedwagon and I thought you could help."
He looked at you in curiosity, but thought that it made sense that you were so close to Speedwagon if you were a Hamon user. He smiled handsomely at you, regaining his composure.
"You would like me to tutor you? How can I refuse giving special lessons to a beautiful dove like you?" You giggled slightly at his words. He was indeed a flirt, as Joseph had told you.
"Oh, would you give special lessons to beautiful doves like Jojo too?" he clicked his tongue and glared away and you laughed at his reaction.
"Ppfft, you know that man? Isn't he just the worst? No way am I helping him. I am never associating with a Joestar ever!" You flinched. You opened your mouth to speak but he continued.
"From what I can see, the Joestar bloodline is filled with weaklings and cowards. I can't believe Speedwagon is making me do this." He spoke of your family with such hatred you didn't even know where to start.
You decided to not say anything for now, as it would just be weird to tell him you were a part of that family as well.
"I... I see..." You looked away, feeling extremely awkward. Not bearing the tense atmosphere, you decided it was probably time for you to leave.
"Well then... I think I'll go now. Thank you, Ceasar." You stood up but he quickly grabbed your hand, stopping you.
"Wait bella! Already? Did I perhaps scare you?" He asked with concern.
"O-oh no, it's okay, I just... I'll leave you be..."
"I'm sorry, I got carried away. This man just frustates me so much." He paused and grabbed both your hands in his, rubbing them soothingly.
"Ah..." You yet again, glanced awkwardly around, not daring meeting his gaze, which he mistook as shyness and found your mimicks adorable.
"How ungentlemanly of me, to speak so recklessly on our first meeting." you told him that it was fine and he released you. His face suddenly lit up.
"Hey! Let's plan some time to meet again? I'll make it up to you." You looked down at him, tilting your head cutely and smirking to yourself.
You shook your head. "That won't be necessary, Ceasar. We'll definitely meet again soon. Believe me." you tapped on his shoulder, sending a tingly Hamon shockwave down his spine, and swiftly turned around and left.
He swore he could feel his heart melt like warm chocolate in his chest. His breathing was shallow and his face warmed up.
How could you have so much effect on him? How could you act so cute while being so sexy and charming?
That day when he came back, he was met with the obnoxious face of his partner, Joseph.
"Yo! You should see your face. What's wrong playboy? Broke up?"
"Shut up Joestar." He plopped down on the couch next to the brunet. "I met this super hot girl I've had my eyes on, and turns out she's a Hamon user that'll train with us."
Joseph's eyes widened and he leaned forward slightly in curiosity. A girl, that uses hamon, that will be training with them?
"Huh... Do you have her name by any chance?" Joseph asked, a bit unsure.
There was only two possibilites and one of them was already making his blood boil.
Either she was a stranger and it was a big coincidence. Or...
"Pfft!" Ceasar scoffed. "Give up if you think you have a chance with her. She's mine." The blonde smirked cockily. "But if you really want to know, her name is Y/N."
Oh shit.
Joseph almost couldn't believe his ears.
"What ??!!" He tensed up, veins appearing on his arms and forehead, he was already fuming.
"Yeah I know, exotic name, fitting for such a fine lady. You should see her, she just knows how to make a man weak-"
"THAT'S MY FUCKING SISTER YOU ASSHOLE!!!" Joseph yanked Ceasar by the collar, violently standing him up. The blonde's expression fell apart.
"She's your... What ???" He grabbed onto Joseph's arm, sweating bullets.
You were Joseph Joestar's sister? That was a piece of detail that you didn't share. How come you never told him your last name? And after he trashed on your family to your face.
He fucked up, and he knew it.
"Uh... I can explain..."
"CEASAR YOU'RE A FUCKING DEAD MAN!!!" Joseph brought his fist up, ready to beat the shit out of his partner.
"What's going on here?" Speedwagon came in just in time before Ceasar's murder could happen, you following close behind him.
The old man was planning to finally introduce you officially to the Italian man, but that was already a failure. The two quarelling men looked at you both and their eyes widened. You instantly ran to your brother to stop him.
"Wait Jojo! What's happening? Are you okay?" Joseph clicked his tongue and harshly threw Ceasar on the couch. He then protectively wrapped his arm around you.
"Don't you fucking dare touch my sister if you care for your nutsacks." He spat, then looked at you. "Y/N, if he does anything to you, tell me got it ?? Don't let him do anything to you!"
"Jojo that's enough! Y/N, do something about your brother, Please!" Speedwagon was overwhelmed by the situation. He should have expected something like this would happen.
You dragged your brother out of the room as he was still trashing under his breath. You discreetly glanced behind you, mouthing an 'I'm sorry!' to Ceasar and winked at him sweetly.
He chuckled a little bit as he watched you go. He felt stupid, but couldn't help falling in love with you.
He changed his mind, you really were a different Joestar.
I pictured old speedwagon like I picture my own grandfather. I wish he lived to me being grown, I would have taken extra care of him, just like Y/N. I'll never forget his blue eyes and I miss him everyday.
