    Summary

    Turning into a dragon looks cool on paper. But no one ever talks about the side effects.

    While Lloyd struggles with new senses, Jay recovers his memories, Kai has to confront his trauma from the Lands of Monster, Nya turns into a sneaky little menace and Zane worries about everyone. Cole compiles all of it over the weeks.

    Why are Kai and Nya hissing at each other like feral cats? Why is Jay slow-blinking at him and why is Zane growling at him? And wait— is Lloyd purring??

    In the end, they’re not really cats.

    They are legendary ninjas who have saved Ninjago and the merged realms more times than anyone can count. They can totally handle this.

    Spoiler: They really can’t.

     

    ______

    Or maybe I’ve been a little too inspired by the latest Ninjago season and this idea rotted in a messy corner of my brain and spread like a weed :’)

    For Cole fans, don’t worry! There will be plenty of angst for our favourite master of earth too!

    (Am I writing this instead of studying for my very important exams? Yes :’))

    Summary

    In a childish, naïve kind of way, Kai had thought getting home would fix it. Would fix him, whatever pieces are left of the person he used to see in the mirror that he managed to drag out of that place.

    Looking in the dusty monastery mirror his first night home, still cracked from where Cole had fallen over after laughing too hard at Jay’s terrible haircut, hollow eyes and gaunt skin and a stranger staring back at him—

    Maybe, Kai’s forced to realize, it isn’t that easy. 

    Kai's first week back home, ft. Lloyd's attempts to play older sibling for once.

    Summary

    His hope to escape hasn't cracked; humanity still remains even with the new features or feral language of his fights he was developing.

     

    The land wasn't able to take it from him.

     

    So it was going to take him from himself.

    Or

    In which the land of monsters over time takes more than just humanity, Kai never makes it out, instead being separated from Daidan and landing back with Fuzz amnesia racked. He questions 'false memories', and soon he finds two people clad in blue with a mission to get home.

    Summary

    Of course having elemental powers has drawbacks! Everyone experiences them differently, some worse than others… How does the master of fire deal with it?

    If the boiling under his skin tells us anything, it’s that he’s not handling it very well. Luckily, he’s not alone anymore, and one of our ninja stumbles upon a way to earn his trust.

    -

    Note: This is set in an AU where Kai was kidnapped at a young age by Chen, and raised alongside Skylor. He’s recovering from injuries from his near death after he pushed Nya away from Chen and melted the staff with his bare hands. The ninja have welcomed him to the ship, but he’s a scarred man, and doesn’t trust anyone as far as he can throw em.

    Summary

    He understands why he feels calmer in Zane’s presence when the fire becomes too much, because comfort is probably programmed into Zane’s nature, and because it makes sense for him to need to cool down.

    It doesn’t make much sense for ice to seek help in the element that would melt it, but that’s where Zane’s sinking into right now. Into Kai’s arms.

    Or: Kai and Zane find comfort in each other's element.
