Challenge- rank your AUs macaque and wukong relationships from 'seconds away from killing each other' to 'best friends forever'
Oh dear god anon that's so many to rank and they also rapidly slide up and down the scale depending on the timeline (most of them end up besties cuz hawk and I love that sweet sweet reconciliation) but here we go. Higher on the list means they'll kill each other for a corn chip, lower means they'd die for the other at the drop of a hat.
Not gonna do them ALL because that's a WILD amount of them but here's the major ones.
Seconds away from killing each other
Early Hunter - hands down no question they're BRUTAL like second place is MILES behind them it's terrifying
Early/Mid Sanctuary - They hate each other. Macaque very much so, Wukong is just...kinda tired.
Early Daydreams - One-sided, Macaque would murder Wukong but it's not returned.
Early Wasteland - They’re not actively fighting physically but...the verbal abuse....is...is rough.
Early Core - tbh hardly counts because we don't spend much time with it. Basically canon hostility levels but it doesn't last long after the AU diverges, they reconcile pretty early.
Snapped - Kinda neither? Wukong doesn't know Mac exists and Mac avoids Wukong? Idk it's some secret third thing that doesn't really fit on this scale but it's here anyways.
Late Sanctuary - some things are....sorta settled? They're not at each other's throats but it's still a lil strained.
Late Wasteland - It's...something. They're never at each other's throats but it's tense for the most part. Not about to break out into a fight but it's more just...they don't AVOID each other but circumstances make things hard.
Ghost - I wouldn't use the word besties but they're close. It's more protective than friends?
Late Hunter - They're the friends that curse and swear and yell insults at each other constantly but like in a /fond kind of way you know the ones
Late Daydreams - also super close, but I wouldn't call them ride or die. TBH once you're down here on the list they're all super close and the rankings get less and less meaningful cuz Hawk and I just love them being close ahjgfbgf.
Tiny Man - Similar to ghost but a little bit more because both parties are like Fully There. More protective and a little bit parent-child and it's a lot of things but yeah they're close.
Godslayer - Not besties but a little more parent/child but also not. Red would do anything to keep MK safe because he won't let himself fail again.
Long Shadows (Lotus's, less shared) - Almost on a core level of codependence, they never had a huge fallout so they've had a long time to be close.
Late Core - literally cannot be any closer, they would literally do anything before they'd lose the other. And I mean literally as in the dictionary definition.
Literally ride or die besties
