Lego Monkie Kid Spotlight AU

What if, when Macaque came back, he didn't want revenge. What if did at first, just a few fights with Wukong that he lost every time, but eventually went "whats the point in this?" and moves on? What if he went to one of the few things that still brought him comfort: Theater.

Welcome to the Macaque-Preforms-In-Musicals AU, aka Spotlight AU

Everything is exactly the same. But one day, MK drags Wukong to a musical Mei got tickets for, Heathers to be exact (cuz i say so). Mei got three, and the third was supposed to be for Tang, but he got hella sick before and couldn't go (he was VERY upset about it. poor guy) so MK convinces Wukong to tag along so the ticket didn't go to waste. Wukong is in his hoodie, all slumped in his chair, thinking this was a waste of time and maybe he could just nap until the end. And that was his plan, really. He tries to block out the noise, tries to just sleep, but then hears-

"September 1st, 1989. Dear Diary-"

And he sits up cuz he KNOWS that voice. He knows it like he knows his own. He sits up and, lo and behold, Macaque was center stage as Veronica Sawyer (also cuz i say so). Wukong is in shock. He hadn't seen Macaque in years, and now he was performing in a musical? He wasn't surprised at that, at least. He knew how much Macaque loved performing.

He just... wasn't expecting it. He also wasn't expecting to get jealous during Dead Girl Walking, or to cry during Seventeen. And when MK saw him crying, borderline sobbing, he just assumed Wukong REALLY liked the musical.

MK and Mei have no idea who the darker monkey is, of course. They just see an actor with an amazing voice and hella good skills. Wukong knows though. He hardly pays attention to the story, eyes zeroed in on Macaque alone, ears only tuned into his voice. It was weird, seeing him so close (cuz of course Mei had to get seats close to the stage) without them trying to tear each others throats out.

And when the musical came to an end, he stood with everyone else, clapping. Macaque is all smiles and sweat, bowing with his fellow cast members. His eyes go over the crowd and eventually fall onto a familiar shade of gold. He didn't flinch, he didn't react, but his smile faltered ever so slightly. And as soon as the curtain fell, he ran to his dressing room to try and breathe.

He did all of this to AVOID Wukong. He knew the king never liked the theater arts, only ever enjoying the ones Macaque were in or held. But now he was here, clapping with tears in his eyes.

When he leaves to go home, Wukong's waiting for him. He tries to talk to him, his words stuttered and awkward, but Macaque shuts it down fast.

"I don't want to hear it, Wukong," he says. "Leave me alone. I've moved on. You should to." And walks past him.

Wukong was hurt, but not surprised. He tries to honor Macaque's wishes, TRIES to leave him alone... but apparently MK thinks Wukong would LOVE to keep going to musicals with them.

He tries to say no, but can't really come up with a good excuse. I mean, he can't rlly say 'sorry kid, but my ex that i kinda sorta killed is starring in a lot of them and he still doesnt like me and asked me to leave him alone. so i cant come with you, sorry.'

So he goes, but with a better disguise. That better disguise being a different colored hoodie and sunglasses. Cuz macaque totally wont recognize him that way.

I literally came up with this last night, so I haven't worked out all the details yet. This is a shadowpeach au tho, and they do eventually make up <3

sometimes you just come up with an incredibly batshit AU and you have to sit it down and gently pat its head and go "I love you, I will write you someday, but I have to finish the one I'm already working on first."

sometimes it doesn't listen. this one seems to be so far, at least. the plot bunny has been sated by infodumping on friends for now, and I'll take what I can get.

October Song Prompts, day 2: Bang!

I’ve never really talked much about the spotlight AU, huh? Imagine a villain Aizawa with the energy of a villain mic, then you have a pretty good idea.

Sighs. Here’s the idea that forced me to make a third superhero au despite my own wishes.

the Spotlight is Too Bright

since it’s been so long since i posted before earlier today, i figured at least one person might want more content for the series.

this isn’t really an advancement in the plot, it is just background of what’s currently going on and like more on the actual show.

More from the Spotlight AU (Actor Mark & Yancy modern AU)

Mark pulls some strings and Yancy is able to audition for a part in the musical after his shift. Mark is off to the side watching

Yancy’s doing fine but the stress gets to him. A judge asks him if he’s got anything he wrote himself. He tries again and does much better, being more comfortable with his own stuff

Meanwhile Mark is like “wow he’s good”

They meet outside and Mark congratulates him: he got the part! Yancy tries not to show it but he’s FINALLY going to do what he loves

From then on they’re gonna work together and it’s the start of something

Mark is so focused on this new project and the duo with Yancy that for a time he forgets about the divorce

Eventually stuff comes backs to kick his ass

One day, Mark doesn’t show up to the rehearsals. At the end of the next day, Yancy decides to go and see if he can find him

Mark hasn’t left his hotel room. Yancy finds a mess of a man and crumpled divorce papers next to his bed.

Damien is woken up by a phonecall from Yancy at fuck o’clock in the morning

Y: hey uh can you come bail me out? please?

D: wh- are you in jail?

Nothing serious, they just went out for a drink or thirteen to try and take Mark’s mind off his problems.·        

Damien shows up and is about to ask why Yancy would be thrown in jail but then he spots Mark in a corner

D: Mark what are you doing here?

M: Damien? Why are you here?

Y: Wait, you guys know each other?

D/M: Yancy, you know Mark/Damien ??
