ShadowTrick AU (I guess we're calling it that)

A chance at Monkey King love, except disguised as a human ?? ♥️

-Which Mei convinces Sun Wukong to finally put himself out there and start dating because he's been very lonely. (Dead reincarnated friends and a bitter ex friend doesn't help either)

-At the same time Macaque tries to make it up to MK and friends by redoing the whole Shadowplay, no tricks and magical lanterns included. That would soon be a lie.

- Since no one but MK knows about Macaque's human form they go along with it. MK decides to give it a chance. But Wukong ends up tagging along too. MK starts seeing red flags of a shit show starting.

-Upon first sight of Macaque's elegant black and red robes and his beautiful fluffy black hair (seems familiar) Wukong falls in love at first sight. Following Mei's advice he proceeds to try to ask him out.

-Macaque, amused but also pissed at the fact Wukong is falling for some human, decides he would play an elaborate long con trick and go along with it. He plans to make the date as miserable as possible, making Wukong feel like shit. Then revealing himself at the very end to laugh at his face.

-MK, about to watch the horrors of a car crash and the only person who knows the truth tries to stop him. Saying it'll break his heart. Macaque's like "YEAH THAT'S THE POINT"

-However shenanigans ensue and Macaque is faced with more problems then actually catching feelings back for Wukong.

Plot twist in Shadow trick, Wukong knew along it's Macaque, but only because he used gold vision instead of seeing the obvious signs.

~ROLL CREDITS~

Starring Sun Wukong as "Actually pretty smart" bachelor

I was thinking about that in mind and how the story could play out like that. It could be swk is so oblivious that it takes the long con route. Or he figures it out pretty quickly and the rest is history (anger, denial, etc)

But swk usually has no reason to use Gold Vision unless there's like an imminent danger or he has to find the truth or something. If it's just around regular humans/demons I'd say he would respect their privacy unless necessary.

Just like macaque is in denial of liking wukong, I feel like wukong would be in denial first that he likes the things in his lover that also remind him of macaque , and then that his new love is macaque even if it's get more and more obvious

OH HAVE U READ MY SCRIPT ALREADY- JKJKJK WE'LL SEE
