Summary
His was an unexpected kindness, in such a foreign place.
She woke on her back to soft pine earth and dappled sunlight. A clear mountain stream rushed nearby, the water parting before it crested over a break to either side of a buddha’s head, a piece of a fallen statue. Her body was still warm with the soft buzz of brunch Champagne. Tipsy enough, perhaps, not to question her circumstances.
She wondered often, in the years that followed, if her fate would have been different had she lingered on that strip of sunlit path. Perhaps she would have found her way to the base of the mountain rather than its peak, found a village and lived a quiet life.
But she did not linger, did not know to, and that was not her fate. -

Summary
The world is bleak, the survival of the human race hangs by a thread, and the heroes and villains only make it worse. The last thing any of them need is a talking monkey swinging about and giving them aneurysms.
Once he was a great traveler, now he is lost in a foreign land. There is but one thing left to do: grab whatever catches his fancy and wreak mayhem at whoever tries to stop him! Maybe even get some disciples on the way, his teacher would be proud.
Now with a TVTropes page!

Summary
At the journey’s end, every path she’s tread unwinds to a single, quiet truth: her final breath, where even the stars bow to her fading light.
Act 1: Ember, nicknamed after her wildfire, blood-red hair, finds herself swept into a world far from the one she knew. What seemed at first a cruel twist of fate, a misstep in the grand scheme of fate, soon reveals itself as destiny's design. Her role, woven by powers she could never understand, is to guide The Destined One along the right course. But in the end, as doubt coils around her heart, she questions whether the choices she made have left her with nothing but ashes—or if the fiery and untamed Monkey King, Sun Wukong, is the very thing she needs to help rewrite her terrible fate.
Will Ember let fate forever change The Destined One into an untamed, wild force of raw furious power, or will her own doubts turn the tide of his own destiny? Which path will she choose, and will The Destined One even heed her desires in the end?
Or is the weight of his inherited obsession too overwhelming for him to resist…
