Summary
(Takes place a few months after the start of Crystalized but only the bit where Nya gets turned back into a human and Crystallized shiz doesn’t happen yet)
The team was all back together again. Things were good. Nya and Jay were inseparable. Zane was finally taking time to come to terms with the events of the Neverrealm, and for the first time in ages, Lloyd didn’t seem concerned with finding his father.
Now if only Kai could sort out his own feelings. Sure there wasn’t technically anything wrong. Just the resurfacing of some *ahem* buried *ahem* feelings about a certain teammate of his. Kai couldn’t tell you when the attraction to Cole began, but he was somewhat certain that he m i g h t have been hiding from those feelings for a while now.
But it’ll be fine! He has plenty of time to figure things out and sort through his emotions…
Right?
——————
Or: we pull a seabound 2, electric boogaloo, and Kai ends up in a not so fortunate situation, much to his family’s (and especially Cole) torment.

Summary
Jay looked over his shoulder at the vastness he'd staggered through, lost, his heart racing and his mouth full of blood. He looked back at them, and although the men's expressions were cautious, cold, unchanging, one of their hands slipped subtly into his belt. Jay recognized the gleam of the gun and didn't know why.
"Please, Agent Walker," they asked, but it wasn't a plea, it wasn't a favor. Jay couldn't see their eyes behind their dark glasses. "Don't make this any harder."
This doesn't feel right, was his last thought, the only coherent thread that had been repeated throughout this conversation with these strangers in suits. Jay looked over his shoulder again, overcome by that inexplicable dread, ice in his blood. He didn't know why; he knew he had to run, but he didn't know which way.
So he turned his back on the way he came and followed the agents back into the building.
Or: How Jay survives the merge alone, and how he discovers he doesn't have to anymore.

Summary
Fear manifests itself in many different ways, and that fear can lead you to do stupid things. And those stupid things can scare the people you love most.

A deeper, darker approach on post skybound Jay where he doesn’t make the best decisions.

The mission is simple. Get in, poison Nadakhan's drink, get out, and don't get caught. Or, at least the mission is simple until Cole finds Jay chained to the wall. Then, things go south pretty quickly.

Summary
In a night before Nya and Murtessa's challenge, Jay finds himself unable to sleep for the reminders of Skybound. Nya reminds him that if they got through this once, they'll get through this again-- however long it takes.
Work wherein Murtessa's attempts to forcibly marry Jay are taken seriously instead of played for laughs. Nadakhan also haunts the narrative because for some reason Jay cannot know peace in Ninjago.

Summary
‘Cole felt like he was dreaming, walking through a thick haze, senses dulled to a deafening numbness. He couldn't feel anything. He saw leaves rustling, but he couldn't feel the breeze. He could barely feel the ground under his feet.’
I was blown away by the love I received for my recent angsty ball of Ninjago fanfiction; Just Breathe. So I wrote another one, this time focused on Cole’s time as a ghost. While Cole takes centre stage, there is plenty of Lloyd/Morro angst and Jay/Nya/Nadakhan angst mixed in.
The fic spans from the start of S5 until post S7. It is canon compliant, but focusing on the times in between. S6 in particular is treated from the team’s perspective, so skipped over completely (although the events are eventually discussed).
TW: There is violence, but it is only slightly worse than what you would expect in canon. There is discussions of rape. The rape itself isn’t graphically described, but it comes up multiple times. I will put an author’s note at the start of each chapter that is relevant. -

Summary
How dare they? do they even know who they're trying to hurt? He’s the angel messenger of the Preeminent, the grandson of the First Spinjitzu Master, the master of wind!
As he ducked behind a trash bin another voice inside his head supplied that he was nothing that belonged anywhere but a junkyard. The hyperventilation and confusion on how to fold his limbs now that they were made of wet flesh prevented him from telling the voice to shut up.

Summary
They both jolted as a blaring noise went off. It was the alert for a mission. Weird, crime hasn’t been too high lately, but I guess it had to start again sometime. Jay closed his mouth and looked towards Kai, who had already stood up, and saw he was holding out his hand. Taking it, Kai heaved him up and Jay stood tall, ready to face whatever was coming. He only hoped it wasn't too much; a regular burglary would be enough for him.
Little did he know, this mission would change his life...
