ciceqi retells the entire Saiyuki manga in a series of linked fairytale drabbles referencing everything "Tam Lin" to The Princess Bride, all of them well-written and clever and some of them jaw-droppingly so.
Read them in order. They work as a single story that way, and also then you can stop when they start getting into vague spoilers for bits you may not have read yet.
From # 11:
"Neither dead nor dead drunk, the man in the road had eyes as green as apples and hair as black as wood and skin as pale as someone who's bleeding out from being half gutted by an angry youkai."
