    Summary

    Having lived through everything he had, this part always felt silly. The sitting, the breathing, and the waiting. His life was in no danger. That the logic of that wasn't enough on its own to ease the pain-- or flush out the stress that made his hands shake-- was as unfair as it was ridiculous. Baser instincts that kept a creature alive were vestigial at best when that creature existed beyond the normal laws of mortality, and yet every demon was still bound to them.
    Many could avoid fate. But not even heaven, nor its equals, could escape fear.

    Macaque is invited along to celebrate the new year, and errs on the side of proving a point.

    Summary

    Macaque had once loved Sun Wukong. And that love manifested as flowers within his lungs. But then things changed. Bonds were broken, and ultimate betrayals were performed without mercy, leaving Macaque bitter and resentful of the monkey that he once looked up to.

    And yet, the flowers remained.

    Summary

    “I am so sorry.” He starts, bringing his free hand to his forehead as he stares down at the tiles on the ground between him and the stranger he’d almost carelessly knocked over. “I don’t know what’s come over me, and—”

    He freezes. Those boots… Look strangely familiar. He slowly tilts his head up, pulling his hand away from his face and finally taking a good look at the person across from him.

    As if this day couldn’t get any worse.

    “It’s alright,” says the acting Grand Sage, Alhaitham, who Kaveh has not spoken to in probably four or five years.

     

    Shit.

    Kaveh is about a week from homelessness, and desperate for money.

    Haitham has an abundance of it, and a project he wants Kaveh to oversee as his live-in architect.

    Perhaps the both of them can get something out of this arrangement besides an exchange of goods and services, and restore trust in a bond badly broken years ago.
