PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE Cole Y? If that's ok!

Y. Tears

(Send me a character and a letter and I’ll write a small fic!)

Tears weren’t supposed to hurt, right?

Tears weren’t supposed to travel down your form and burn like magma, were they? They weren’t supposed to make you flinch in pain and cry out when more tears were added to the flow. The cold moisture in the air made it torture to breathe. Surely, if he touched the snow that dusted the wailing alps, he would start to sizzle and blister in response. The tears hurt his hands when he tried to wipe them away.

He couldn’t feel it. They were all he could feel.

“Cole?”

He flinched at the voice coming from the open door, but responded in turn. His voice echoed and croaked with each word, “Hey, Nya.”

Everything in Cole’s new, ghostly form told him to run. She was the water ninja now. Water was the one thing that burned, despite how ironic it was. Her brother was the Master of Fire, yet Kai’s flames would only lick his see-through skin. She, however, could end his very existence with a flick of her wrist.

This one is dangerous, said the heart in his once-beating chest, Wavemaker. Stay away.

“Just wanted to check up on you,” He tried not to let his anxiety show as she sat on the bed beside him. By the look on her face, he failed, “How’re you feeling, buddy?”

Cole scoffed, “I can’t feel much of anything at the moment.” Apart from the agony on his cheeks, he was numb. The blanket, which used to feel scratchy and soft at the same time, only served as a place to sit. If he closed his eyes, he could imagine that he was dead, or deader than he was, with no tethers to hold him. What kind of Earth Elemental was he if he could not feel the ground beneath?

There was a pout on Nya’s face, so similar to the ones Kai and Lloyd would wear, “I wasn’t talking in physical terms. You look like you’re feeling sad.”

“Does it matter?”

A pause. Then she spoke, “I’d like to think it does.” Her answer pulled Cole’s attention away from his tears to her voice, “I mean, you wouldn’t still be human if you couldn’t feel, right?” She reached her hand to lay on top of Cole’s, but she pulled back when he flinched, “Sorry, should’ve asked.”

Cole shook his head, “‘s fine, but-“ he sniffled. He tears had started to run dry, leaving only burn scars in their wake, “I’m not human anymore, Nya. I’m a ghost.”

Of all the things he expected her to do, shrugging was not one of them, “And Zane’s a Nindroid. Your point?”

He opened his mouth to respond, but nothing came out. He had no rebuttal. Zane was as human as the rest of the crew. Zane had emotions. Zane could feel. Who was to say Cole couldn’t be human, too?

Who was to say that Cole was any less of what he had been? Who was to say he wasn’t more?

Nya whispered sweet nothings as Cole’s expression crumbled from the stone facade he once bore, and buried his face into her shoulder to stop the tears from burning his skin. He didn’t know why he was so afraid of her, when she would never allow herself to burn him. Nya was his sister, after all.

Nya, said his once-beating heart, Wavemaker.

He spoke back in turn, Home.

A Little Brother (Of Sorts)

“Perks of being an older sibling number one: being taller than your little brother. For now.”

just two short kings u.u

part of the 2022 ninbingo event ( @ninjago-bingo )

prompt used: small / also on ao3 here

Jay was fiddling with the training dummies again (for the thousandth time) when he caught a flash of blonde and black out of the corner of his eye.

He smirks inwardly and crouches down, pouncing at just the right moment and managing to catch a one Lloyd Garmadon in the act of… uh…

“What’re you doing, kid? Trying to sabotage my dummies again?”

“I’m not a kid!” Lloyd bristles, squirming in Jay’s grasp. “And I wasn’t doing anything!”

“Yeah, right.”

“I’m eleven! And I don’t need to tell you anything!”

Jay snickers, and raises him higher. “Buddy, you’re not even a teenager yet! You’re a little itty baby—“

“Noo!!”

“—Teeny, tiny infant. And you’re what, four six? Four five? Three seven? Two foot?”

“No! No! No! And I’ll be even taller than you someday—“

“But right now you’re suuuper tiny, so small I could pick you up, and—“ Jay manages to dip Lloyd and pull him up again in a neat arc, even though the kid was super heavy, what were they feeding him, “PUNT YOU LIKE A FOOTBALL! INTO THE STRATOSPHERE!”

Lloyd squeals and grabs onto Jay for purchase as he’s swung. As Jay slows down, he schools his expression into a pout. “I — I’ll bite you!” He says, baring his razor-sharp teeth.

Never has Jay been more glad he was turned into a whole-ass snakeman that one time. He smiles, revealing his own (slightly less impressive) fangs. “And what if I bite you back?”

The kid’s red eyes narrow for a moment, carefully analyzing something. Then he throws himself forward, as if he were going to bite Jay’s arm off, his whole arm off, First Master he needed his arm—

The Blue Ninja yelps and releases him at once. Lloyd expertly lands on his feet, sticks his tongue out at the older, and scrambles away, back to the Bounty’s main cabin.

“I’ll get you next time, Garmadon!“ Jay shouts after him, shaking his fist. No he does not feel like a scorned Saturday morning cartoon villain, what were you talking about?

Next time, he’ll have to do a better job of catching Lloyd off guard. He wants to make it a Next Time, he’s discovered. Jay wants to embrace not being the shortest a little longer.

/ / /

Walking back from the comic book shop, a place that truly exemplified Lloyd’s happy childhood memories, was a bummer.

This whole thing was a bummer!

Sure, Jay’s never been more happy to be in the right body again, and he knows the rest of the guys feel the same (Zane no longer glitching, Cole no longer complaining, Kai no longer over-over-compensating) but it doesn’t feel fair.

Because Lloyd isn’t. He isn’t happy, he isn’t relieved, and he won’t be for a long, long time now. He had to make a tough decision, a sacrifice. He might have to make more. He might lose more. He’s lost so much already. He’s so young. He was so young.

The Final Battle is so much more close, hurtling towards them at frighteningly breakneck speeds.

It’s all coming to an end.

Jay shivers. First Master, was this a happy train of thought.

He slows his pace a little, so he was walking in time with Lloyd, now. His (once oversized) gi now fits him better, places where he once cuffed them to fit are now at his knees and elbows. His red eyes were downturned, and hidden behind blonde locks that were even more overgrown now, starting to curl slightly.

“Jeez Lloyd,” Jay tries, reaching to ruffle the kid’s hair lightly. “I didn’t know you were going for the teen bedhead that soon. You make me feel—“ Old, he doesn’t say. He shouldn’t. “I feel like I need to be telling you to get a haircut already! Like I’m a geezer now!”

It doesn’t land. But Lloyd turns his attention to Jay, and his eyes squint with the barest hints of a happy expression, and Jay feels a rush again. Distracting. He can be a distraction.

“And, oh—“ He flumps over dramatically, stumbling a bit to keep pace. “Now I’m the shortest ninja again. Seriously, Lloyd? Why’d your dad have to be like, ten foot fourteen—“

“Eleven foot two.” Lloyd quietly corrects, because he actually paid attention in Zane’s math lessons.

“I reveled in being taller than someone! And now you’ve—“ Not taken, something else? “You’ve made it impossible for me to live that dream. Ever again.”

“‘M sorry, Jay.” He mumbles, but oh, victory upon victories, Jay can now catch a smile. A small one, but a smile. “But… I’m taller than Kai now?”

And Jay does a double take. He snatches a look over to the Red Ninja behind them (who helpfully cocks an eyebrow at Jay’s antics) and then back at Lloyd. “Holy shit. Lloyd, I think you might be right!” Jay laughs, and he lets himself get louder, more animated. “And you’re taller than your older brother too, just like Nya! This is so funny. Imagine, being shorter than both of your younger siblings—“

“I can hear you, Walker!” Kai shouts from behind them.

Jay shoots him a smug look. “What’s wrong, Kai? Afraid to be down on my level?”

Kai fumes back, preparing a retort when—

Lloyd laughs. It’s small and still dampened but goddamnit, it’s a laugh.

Kai catches it too. Without missing a beat, he goes back to bickering with Jay.

Anything for their little brother.

_IN_A_O_ (chapter 1)

Ninbingo: Games

Zane would say that technically, their first time in Ninjago city was when they jumped off the Destiny's Bounty at night in order to stop Pythor's plans.

But Kai (respectfully) disagrees. They had spent more time in the sewers than on the streets. And it was at night!

Well, with the bounty...destroyed, the ninja had to look for a roof over their heads, and they could only trouble Cole's father for so long.

"I JUST WANNA KNOW, WHO ATE MY PUDDING CUP?" Jay shrieked at the motley crew. "Jay, come on, just give it a rest!"

"NO. I AM NOT LETTING IT GO THIS TIME." Jay huffed and aggresively pointed a spoon at everyone in the room, even Sensei Wu. "We are getting to the bottom of this, ninja, as one or more of you needs a reminder on HONESTY."

"Jay-"

"IT'S THE FOURTH TIME THIS WEEK-"

"Save your breath, me and lil Garmadon are gonna go get some groceries, we'll get you your pudding cups," Kai said, almost yawning as he slid off the couch having been accosted whilst procrastinating and playing games with Lloyd. It has been one of the rare times everyone was together too.

"Remember, it better be mango with those white jellies-"

"Nata De Coco."

"-the ones from Naspac, got it?"

Maybe it is supposed to be rare for everyone to be in the Brookstone's house. Either ways, Kai was high tailing it out of here with a little demon spawn before someone gets shut in the fridge again (Most likely Jay).

"C'mon Lloyd, let's leave these knuckleheads to their own devices," Kai feels Lloyd sliding a small hand into his larger, waiting one. Kai feels himself frown before shaking his head.

Lloyd had been... uncharacteristically quiet. Well, compared to his earlier days on the ship, and even before he got on board, Lloyd was loud, in your face, a 'Mwahahaha' demanding your attention. But since Garmadon left, Lloyd hasn't really initiated any talking, but has been initiating a lot of physical contact. Kai tousles with Lloyd's hair and smirks as Lloyd scowls, free hand batting away his hand before trying to smooth his hair down. Just wait til Lloyd's outgrown his bowl cut, Kai can't wait to have another sibling to bully into his little hair dressing simulator. Still, Kai feels the smile on his face lose its shine as he realises that Lloyd still wouldn't talk.

Looking through the Ninja's (read: Wu's) safe (which was fortunately found by the ninja), Kai pulled out the whole sum, doing some math in his head. Okay, maybe Nya worked the register back at the Smithy, but that doesn't mean Kai can't count money. However, due to the fact that Kai can count this whole sum means that they are running low on cash. You'd think that 5000 dollars should be enough as a rainy day check, but that's not factoring the fact that they have 7 people who are using these funds everyday. At the rate that they are buying groceries and later having to rent an apartment somewhere in the city, they would need to get jobs, fast.

A feminine shout startles Kai out of his thoughts as Lloyd keeps still.

Right.

To get groceries.

Standing ahead of the door, Kai checks that they had the necessary items before leaving. Keys (it's much easier to let themselves in then to call for one of the other occupants), Ez-link card (Jay convinced them all to get it for public transport since they would be remaining in Ninjago city for a while), Cash ($200 for a week should be fair, Kai's also bring more than what they need just in case), Stove and Windows (Kai hopes the others are smart enough to turn off the stove when the soup finishes, or at least won't distract Zane from doing so). All from a little strip of paper on the door, edited with Jay's handwriting.

"Well, looks like we're good to go, buddy," Kai says, putting Lloyd's ez link around his neck. He was just barely to tall to get to ride for free, a shame, really. (Kai ignores the bubbly sensation in his guts.) Meanwhile, the kid in question just scuffs his shoes against the door mat, tracing out imaginary patterns. Kai knows that pattern from anywhere. Lloyd was sulking.

"How about this: since we're too late for the Wet Market, we'll be going to the Pasar Malam close by. I'll get you Jamanakai sausages!" Lloyds eyes instantly light up. With grins on their faces, Kai lets the door shut behind him as they enter the main street from the detached house.

. . .

Really, they didn't need more food so soon. Cole's father already had ingredients in his kitchen, and the last time Zane and Kai tagged team the wet market (read: every morning at 5) had scored the household with several fish, vegetables, meat and starches for less than $50. Really, they could have added another $50 to last for a week, but any excuse to get out of the house is an excuse that Kai will gladly take. (Also, if they were sticking around the area, then the ninja need to befriend these hawkers and sellers. Regular discount, anyone?)

What they have run out though, are snacks. And really, well... Kai wants to spend time with his baby brother, okay? And he wants Lloyd to have a somewhat normal childhood before the green ninja training starts. (Kai ignores the voice in his head that tells him he didn't have a normal childhood either).

If the night markets were anything like the ones back home at Ignacia (and they should be, they travel around the continent as a seasonal kind of thing. Kai hopes to see one or two aunties who originates form ignacia and makes those wonderful Kweh Tutus-) then Lloyd should really enjoy himself with this night of fun.

. . .

Lloyd does not enjoy the Pasar Malam. It's too hot, too bright, too crowded, too loud, too-it smells too much. Feeling his lips tremble, Lloyd pulls then pinches Kai's forearm. It gets Kai's attention from haggling with a man over towels and thank FSM Kai gets it. He takes a stack of towels and pays the man $5 before bringing Lloyd to the end of the bazaar, being quieter and having less smells, less noise, less people (parents and their kids walking around, why couldn't Lloyd-) where Kai stops near a claw machine. Handing Lloyd a few coins (that adds up to 10 dollars!) Kai looked around shiftily before sighing.

"Okay kid, I know this is such a bad idea to leave you by yourself, especially what happened after I left you at the arcade- but I can't stay with you at the claw machine here, I need to get more snacks like potato wheels and bak kwa and what not." Kai then gestures to a young woman who's at the very end of the stalls. "That is Mimi, she'll keep an eye on you whilst I'm gone. Speaking of which, can you also look over our stuff?"

Lloyd nods, and Kai places his purchases on the candy machine. "Thanks kid. I'll be back with a Jamanakai sausage in no time."

All alone, Lloyd turns back to the candy machine. Observing the build, it was one of those mall machines where you press a button and the letters slowly stopped spinning from 1-4. The prize? Mentos. It really was only mentos, but mentos was candy, and well, you can never really have too much candy, can you?

15 minutes later, Kai returns with 2 sausages on a stick before dropping the food as he's gobsmacked at the amount of candy Lloyd managed to win. Sure, sometimes he messed up the timing and din't get the max 4, but other times he consistently hits the jack pot. Seeing opened but not finished candy wrappers, Kai deduces that Lloyd had already gotten into the sugar and- gods they are going to kill me.

"Kai Kai Kai Kai! Look at all the candy I won!" Lloyd bounced on his toes, quickly pulling Kai from his stupor. "That's... great kid. How about you, uh, lay off the sugar for a while? I got you-"

"Jamanakai sausages!!" Lloyd squealed excitedly. Whenever Darkley's had field trips (or Lloyd snuck away from the boarding school) he'd always take his chance to sneak food away, be it the candy shop or the meat stall. Raising a hand to Kai expectantly then giving a quick glance, Lloyd quickly bounded to another claw machine, this one with stuffed animals that he wasn't quite sure how to have a gurantee win yet, but he's willing to try. Kai dropped off a few more change besides Lloyd, then turns to look at an astonished Mimi. "Your kid is really something else, huh?"

"Yeah, you can say that again. Anyways, want some candy?" Kai asks, also looking at the little crowd of children that gathered around the candy machine, eyes transfixed. They jumped a little, having been asked so directly, before looking at each other. "...can we have some?"

"Mom said I can't," a young boy, 7 or 8, huffed. "Well, Lloyd can't have this much either." Kai reasoned. "When she comes around, you should ask her if you can have some because Lloyd really doesn't need this much.

A noise of protest was mufled by the sound of chewing. "C'mon Lloyd, it's all mentos anyways, you really don't need to have this much." Kai patronises.

Little by little, Lloyd's hard won candy disappears until maybe a quarter of the stash remains. It doesn't help that Lloyd had been trying and failing to get a snowy tiger from the claw machine, needing to get a refill from Mimi.

"I think the tiger's a lost cause," A boy around Lloyd's age said. He whips around, frustration curling around his lips. "What do you mean?"

"I mean, see how the tiger's pressed up against the glass? The claw can't reach that far. If I were you, I'd go for the whale."

"Then do it!" Passing the controls and a coin to the other boy, Lloyd sits back and watches shocked as the boy manages to get the 3 hooks around the whale, before dropping it into the chute. "Wh-how?"

"You want to get one that's easy to grab," The boy explained, hands opening the hatch and taking out the whale plush. "Here, he's yours."

"Wha- no, he's yours! You won him, right?"

"Yeah, but I used your money to do so. It should be yours. Besides, I have a lot of plushes already." The boy said, rubbing the back of his neck. Lloyd gracefully accepts the plush. "Are you like, some kind of arcade expert?"

"You can say so, yeah. Name's Nathan."

"My name is Lloyd G... do you want some candy?"

. . .

Kai returns with the final purchases of the night, before seeing Lloyd and another kid discuss enthusiastically about the latest issue of starfarer.

"You should really have paid me for babysitting those kids, Kai," Mimi started but was shut down quickly with a "those candies were payment".

"Cheapskate," she snorts, but Kai's already out of earshot.

"Lloyd! Hey buddy," Kai calls, and both of the kids turned around. "Great to see you made a friend! What's your name?"

"Nathan!" Both Lloyd and Nathan said. "Well, hi Nathan, sorry but Lloyd and I have to go now."

"Awww really? Kaiiiiiiiii."

"Sorry kiddo, but it's getting late and we need to buy a few more things," Kai started to gather up all of his purchases. "Do you have someone to pick you up Nathan?"

A small nod. Kai quickly scribbles down his number from a new pen onto a new notepad that he had bought. "Give this to your guardian and we can arrange for you guys to go play sometime."

"Okay," he said softly, before whispering something in Lloyd's ears. Kai narrows his eyes but ignores it in favour of packing up all of the items he'd picked up today.

And by packing, he meant fitting smaller plastic bags into the larger plastic bags. "Come on Lloyd."

Lloyd sighs and waves goodbye to Nathan until both him and Mimi were out of sight.

. . .

It was now around 6pm. (Had they really spent 2 hours at the Pasar Malam?) and Kai was praying that they avoid the evening rush at cold storage.

"Fruit, Drinks, Dairy...Pudding!" Kai muttered out loud before dragging Lloyd from the fruits section. "Hey kid, I need your help to find Jay's branded pudding. It's a very important job, okay?"

Lloyd was now back to quiet, but he began to diligently loo through the lower shelves.

Tugging on Kai's hand, he points to Jay's pudding at the second row from the bottom and Kai picks it up and places it into his trolley. Well, usually he'd have gone with a hand basket but the items from the bazaar were taking a toll on him, so shopping cart it was. Kai watches as Lloyd fiddles with the coin in the handles of the cart before signing and carrying him up, putting him in the cart. "Since you've been so good today, let's have some fun, shall we?"

Kai couldn't see Lloyd's face, but he bets his hair gel that Lloyd was smiling.

"Also, since you've been so helpful, you can pick out something from the refrigerated section."

Lloyd visibly brightens at this and looks overthe selection from his vantage point in the cart. He ponders for a few moments before pointing at...

"The juice box?" Peel fresh, berry mix. Not 'top 10 things Lloyd would select' for sure. Lloyd nods, saying a gentle 'yes', and Kai's heart does something weird. Zane probably would be affronted with the sugar in that thing, but it was a lot healthier than the other things Lloyd could have chosen.

On their (victory march) to check out, Lloyd keeps looking at the shelves, curiosity in his eyes. And maybe longing when they pass by the candy section, but Lloyd doesn't make any motions to indicate that he wants the candy.

"Hey, green bean, it's okay to want something, you know?" Kai said, breaking the silence between him and his little brother.

"...I already have a lot of candy," Lloyd states. Well. It is true, and Kai even said it to Lloyd himself.

"Still, it's a different kind of candy. Some variety wouldn't hurt." Lloyd bites his lip.

The cashier calls them over to indicate it's their turn when Lloyd asked Kai if he could grab some Kinder Eggs. Kai happily obliges, leaving Lloyd alone as the cashier scans the items.

As time went on, Lloyd got more and more nervous, hands tapping the top of the trolley than wringing themselves before going back to tapping again. The cashier was almost done and Lloyd didn't have the money to pay her, and oh now he was going to cause everyone else in line to wait- why couldn't he have just said nothing? Then Kai didn't have to leave him here-.

"Hey kid, loosen your grip, you might get hurt," the cashier lady said, which startled Lloyd as he did not notice his knuckles were starting to go white. "Trust me, these shopping carts are unsuspectingly sharp. I work here."

"W-what's it like working here?" Lloyd asks in a moment of confidence. Or desperation. Lloyd was anxious and he didn't know why (he knew why, it was the line- the people) and talking was helping to ground him, so he listened. "Well, retail is... a harsh job. Your... brother? Guardian?"

"Brother! He's name is Kai," Lloyd stated. "Well, he looks to be around my age and that's when many people start working, however, usually we start with 'lower' jobs, you know? Ones that don't pay too well or doesn't fit our diploma or those 'inbetween' jobs, you understand?"

Lloyd nods. His family were in a bit of an inbetween living situation, actually.

"Retail, being a cashier? It's nobody's dream job. I'm lucky that most of my customers are nice, but once or twice you get those kind of... mean people. And sometimes they make me want to quit. But it's honestly just a few bad eggs. Oh look, your brother's back."

Kai arrived, breathing a lot heavier. "Wow, I can't believe finding those chocolate eggs were so hard!"

The cashier picked them up and scanned them. "Your total is $14.75. And next time, maybe ask the cashier if they could help you find those snacks. They're usually around the check out area."

She gestured to a display of kinder eggs that Kai did not saw. Feeling his face heat up and Lloyd giggle, Kai tries to cover up his embarrassment by flirting with the cashier lady. She laughed, before gesturing him to get out so she could get to the next customer in line, before giving him a receipt with her number written on it. (Ignacians need to stick together!)

Kai and Lloyd left for home, arms burdened by objects but hearts considerably lighter.

. . .

Ninjago city was beautiful at night.

What was more beautiful however, was the people.

Reference Letters

Kai thinks about what Lloyd said at the beginning of their conversation. How many people have pretended to be this kid’s friend, only to stab him in the back? He doesn’t have anyone.

And, well, Kai happens to have a friend group dedicated to hating Garmadon anyway, so there’s only one natural conclusion to be drawn here.

Lloyd needs to join the Secret Ninja team.

or:

tasked by Green to find new recruits for the team, Kai finds his eye drawn back over and over again to one particular person. Now if only Green would get over whatever issue he has with Lloyd Garmadon joining.

📃 Lloyd & Kai, Lloyd & Kai & Nya, Everyone 📃 Rated T, G content 📃 Secret Identity, Identity Reveal, Angst and Fluff 📃 Movie!verse 📃 5682 words, complete 📃 read on ao3 here!

sliding in two days late with a birthday boy fic!!! movie!verse bc man I love these kids :D I hope you enjoy!

Excerpt and ninbingo board under the cut; the prompts were confrontation and reveal!

Kai starts to notice him more and more often.

There's probably a principle or something to it. Now that Kai has Lloyd Garmadon on his mind, he can't help but see him everywhere: in the back of his classes, against the hallway walls, in the shadows of the school.

And he’s not even doing anything out of the ordinary! He’s still doing his normal routines, his normal routes; nothing has changed but he’s suddenly realizing just how easily Lloyd Garmadon fades into the background of everything.

Well, that is at least up until someone throws him into the spotlight.

They’re in History and the teacher suddenly moves Garmadon’s seat, citing something about not wanting him in the back “unsupervised” and places him in the front row. The girls in the row behind all titter and whisper to each other. Their giggles are loud, but the teacher ignores them, and with each passing second Lloyd hunches further and further into himself.

Kai frowns. It’s kind of a mean thing to do, even if Lloyd has-

Wait.

What has the guy actually done?

Kai wracks his memory. There was that time that Chen said that Lloyd tripped him in front of the cheerleading squad, and of course the incident back in middle school when he started the biggest food fight the cafeteria had ever seen, oh, and who could forget the time that he fake-dated Harumi, causing the poor girl to burst into tears in the middle of class when she found out the news?

There’s more. But as Kai brings those memories to the forefront of his mind, a frown grows on his face. Those – Kai’s done worse things than those. He got into a fistfight not even a month ago behind the school after he saw some kids harassing another student. For someone who’s supposed to be the biggest troublemaker in forever, Lloyd Garmadon hasn’t done much, if anything at all, in the last handful of years.

The realization lingers with him throughout the rest of class and all the way to lunch period.

It’s how he finds himself pulling out the chair across from Lloyd’s at his empty table and setting his bento atop it.

Post-fight and impulsivity by @sebilini

After the battle the team searched for Zane’s body. They found it laying alone and destroyed among the rubble. But they had to leave it soon, as there were many citizens who urgently needed their help. They would grieve their friend’s impulsive decision for months to come

At Low Tide by @frozensoapbubble. tumblr || ao3 || prompts: ocean and strength

A water dragon, living incarnation of the Endless Sea, saves the life of a young whale. The moment brings back memories – or rather, echoes of familiar words, fleeting images, shadows of sensations that the dragon had long thought forgotten.

If only she could remember what they meant.

Thank You, For Giving Me Wings by @weekend-whip. tumblr || ao3 || prompt: care

Wu reflects on a question Zane asked him years ago, as only now can he comprehend the answer.

Ghost Story by @ace-of-spaces. tumblr || ao3 || prompt: ghost

After Cole’s turned into a ghost, he isn’t doing that well.

Jay’s decided to do something about that. Even if ‘something’ means an hour-long conversation.

Memorabilia by @/ace-of-spaces. tumblr || ao3 || prompt: merch

noun; A record of things worth remembering.

Or, Every so often, Lloyd and Kai would spend a day together in New Ninjago City laughing at how derpy the Ninja merch could be.

Nyctophobia by @/ace-of-spaces. tumblr || ao3 || prompt: lights

Kai keeps noticing habits among his friends but one stuck out more than the others.

too fast / too slow by @21st-century-ninja. tumblr || ao3 || prompts: bonds and trust

Soulbonds- soulbonds are special. They’re magical, even. They’re groups of people with souls so close that they strip down even the barriers of individuality, filtering impressions of thoughts and feelings between each member of the bond without even needing to speak aloud. Before a bond is completed, these impressions remain impressions. But once the last person in a bond comes of age and turns 16, all of the members gain total access to the others’ thoughts and the bond is complete.

Lloyd is 100 percent certain that Cole, Kai, Nya, Zane, and Jay are his bondmates.

Then his 16th birthday comes and goes with nothing to show for it.
