i have a graphic tablet yesterday and i draw da baes
Crystoons belong to this pretty here
The bright, yellow, morning sun shined and shimmered over the stunning blue sea surrounding the northern islands. Suddenly something fast moved across the surface causing the water to part and spray sideways. A colorful, bustling town sat atop one of these many northern islands. A few sea birds were heard in the background along with the shifting waves as they hit the base of the island. This was the island of Ninjago. The only island that housed both dragonbloods and humans as one community.
It was the best-kept secret this side of anywhere.
Much had changed on the island of Ninjago in the five years since Jay Walker and the Fire Dragonblood Kai had first bonded together and became a couple and showed humans and dragonbloods alike that coexistence between their two species was not just a possibility. It was the way of the future. The catapults and trebuchets that once dominated Ninjago's towers during wartime have now given way to aqueducts, wing-inspired windmills, and Dragonblood Racing bleachers.
Similar changes also occurred beneath Ninjago's surface.
There was a reinforced hangar, complete stables, feeding troughs, and a dragonblood wash for when they were in dragon form. Granted, it may not look like much, but this wet heap of rocks packed more than a few surprises. Life here was amazing. Just not for the faint of heart. The streets were seemingly empty, aside from the shadowy blurs zipping over the many roofs of the town. In-between two houses, a group of scared sheep watched the sky as they trembled in terror.
The bunch of sheep started crossing the plaza back to back as their eyes darted around in fear.
On their sides, they had different colorful targets painted into their white wool. They quickly scurried into a space between two buildings, only it was too small. One of the marked sheep was pushed away and into the open. It looked up alarmed just before being snatched by a sudden, flying blur. Fast shapes moved across a totem and buildings. While most folks enjoyed hobbies like whittling or needlepoint, the people of Ninjago preferred a little something they liked to call Dragonblood Racing.
Dragonbloods barreled past at a dizzying speed.
Their riders swiped, kicked, and rolled into one another while they weave between the houses, docks, and revamped structures of Ninjago. Dareth, who is now twenty, rode Tox, his Poison Dragonblood, who carried the sheep in her claws, until Plundar, also twenty, but every bit as a juvenile, and Adam, his Lightning Dragonblood, side-checked them and stole their sheep.
"Sorry, Dareth! Did you want that?" Plundar laughed as Dareth glared at him and Adam. Adam fell back toward Zane and Harumi, who lag on their Ice and Wind Dragonbloods, Pixel and Morro. "Here ya go, babe!" Plundar called out and, with a chivalrous grin, he tossed the sheep to Harumi. She snatched it with a sneer and a grumble. "Did I tell you that you look amazing today because you do?" He smirked, but she wasn't impressed.
"Ugh, come on, Morro, it's starting to stink around here." She huffed in disgust Morro started to peel off, spewing a gust of wind as he did so.
"You must see that she still hates you." Zane sighed at his friends' antics before he and Pixel also flew ahead. As they flew, Pixel released a wave of frost that blew into Morro's previous gust and left Plundar and Adam shivering. As they rush past the main bleachers, Harumi dropped her sheep into one of seven baskets suspended over a chasm at the lap crossing. Each backboard bore an image of its corresponding dragonblood. Morro and Harumi's basket was filled to the brim with sheep.
Presiding over the game, Cliff turned to the frenzied crowd.
"That's nine for Harumi and Morro, Cole and Rocky lags with three, and Plundar and Adam, Zane and Pixel, Ronin and Shade, and Dareth and Tox trail with NONE!" He roared over the crowd as his eyes fell on an empty basket at the far end, its backboard painted with an image of fire. "And Jay and Kai are... nowhere to be found." He sighed as he slumped back into his large chair.
"Scared your boy off with the big talk, didn't ya, Cliff?" Ed chuckled lightly. Plundar, still defrosting from the blast, suddenly got a punch from behind. Cole rolled in, astride Rocky, spirited and competitive as ever.
"What are you doing, Plundar?! They're going to win now!" He growled.
"She's my princess! Whatever she wants, she gets!"
"Harumi?! Didn't she try to bury you alive?!"
"Only for a few hours!" He argued. Cole rolled his eyes in frustration and Rocky flew as far away from the love-struck Plundar as he could get. He loved Adam with every fiber of his being, but his human rider could be very annoying. The racers chased each other through a sprawling hangar and into a vast cave, teeming with colorfully painted dragon stables. They exited through the far side and circled back through the village, blasting past many of its dragon-friendly additions.
In the village, one of Rocky and Adam's children suddenly sneezed, releasing a little molten rock and accidentally setting one of the houses aflame.
Cole saw this and Rocky peeled away from the other racers, and yanked open a spout on the overhead network of aqueducts, dousing the flames with a surge of water. Back to Cliff, amused as he watched the racers around the island, searching for sheep. He turned to Ed and nodded.
"It's time, Ed."
"Righty-ho! Last lap!" He shouted to the crowd. A horn sounded and the racers all turn to each other, excited. It was time to release the Black Sheep.
"Come on, Rocky! We can still win this thing!" Cole grinned and the Earth Dragonblood kicked it into high gear.
"Come on, Shade!" Ronin shouted.
"Let's go!" Dareth cried to Tox.
"Go, Adam!" Plundar yelled as Ed loaded the Black Sheep onto a catapult. He pulled the trigger, launching the Black Sheep into the air. Cole spotted it first and steered Rocky into a steep climb toward it. In a flash, however, Dareth and Tox flew in and nab the sheep.
"NO!" Cole shouted and Rocky roared in frustration.
"Good job, Tox!" Dareth praised as he patted the green dragonblood's neck and tossed his captured prize to Harumi. "Here you go, darling! Mine's worth ten!" He called to her when she caught it. She cheered and steered Morro towards the baskets
"You guys are fighting over Harumi?!" Ronin scowled at his brother in disappointment while Shade let out a laughing sound, but Dareth just ignored them and Tox flew to catch up with Harumi and Morro. When they saw him, Morro rammed into Tox, sending her and Dareth into an uncontrolled spin. They slammed into Plundar and Adam, sending them all tumbling head over tail. The crowd went wild. Harumi thought they were in the clear until Zane and Pixel came up beside them.
He grabbed at the sheep, but Harumi fought back, inciting a tug-of-war.
Neither of them noticed Cole and Rocky flying toward them. As they got closer, Cole stood on Rock's back, keeping his balance.
"Get 'em, Cole!" Cliff shouted out in excitement at what was to come. Cole leaped off of Rocky, ran up Pixel's back, and plucked the Black Sheep from Zane and Harumi's hands. He laughed in victory as he tumbled through the air onto Rocky, sticking a perfect landing, the Black Sheep in hand. Zane smiled at Cole's strategy while Harumi and Morro growled in annoyance at losing the Black Sheep. As they flew, Cole eyed the fast-approaching finish line, unaware as Dareth suddenly rammed Tox into Rocky, sending them off-course.
He recovered and saw Ronin flying headlong toward them, war hammer cocked, aiming at his head.
He cried as Ronin hurled his hammer. Rocky suddenly ducked and rolled Cole out of the way. The hammer caught Dareth in the face with a clang and the crowd collectively winced. Cole and Rocky recovered from their roll, looped over the water, and blasted past the finish line, dunking the Black Sheep into their basket.
"That's thirteen! Cole and Rocky take the game!" Cliff shouted and the crowd came unhinged. The winners flew over the crowd, basking in their victory while the loses flew away to lick their wounds. Ninjago was pretty much perfect. All of Jay's hard work had paid off, and it was a good thing too because, with humans on the backs of dragonbloods, the world just got a whole lot bigger...
The clouds looked like cotton candy as Kai and Jay broke through them, not really sure where they were going. Jay just really wanted to find Iron Baron and be as far away from his father as possible. They flew above them, with the only sounds being the rush of the wind around them. Jay scowled at nothing until he clenched his fists and started yelling aloud in rage, stopping as he fell on his back a few seconds later. Kai moaned lightly, trying to be consoling to his boyfriend and Jay took a deep breath, knowing that lashing out wouldn't solve anything.
"That's right, better let it all out." Kai snorted at his boyfriend's outburst.
"You know me so well." He managed to grunt before sighing. "Don't worry, baby, I'm not gonna let anything happen to you." He promised as he patted the dragonblood's head from his laid-down position. Kai wasn't paying attention anymore, however, as he started looking around. He could see something peeking out of the clouds on their right and growled lowly. Jay didn't notice as he kept looking upward. In the corner of his eyes, he could see a figure beginning to rise out of the clouds and his brows scrunched up in frustration.
He stood up, ready to give the person he was sure was his father a piece of his mind.
He recoiled in shock when he saw an intimidating dark blue horned mask instead. The person, carrying a crooked staff and a shield, appears to be simply standing on the clouds. They slowly sank back into the cloud bed soon after. The air around the couple was tense with suffocating silence as Jay and Kai started looking carefully around them for any sign of the masked figure returning. They were worried that if they made any sudden movements it would lead to disaster.
A dragon cry was their only warning.
A huge Lightning Dragonblood surged out of the clouds right in front of them, on its back was the person from before. Kai flapped his wings to stop and hover in midair. Jay followed the path of the dragonblood with his eyes as it circles around them, the rider standing upright with unbelievable balance. The figure pointed its staff in their direction and the Lightning Dragonblood grunted as it came back to hover in front of them. The two dragonbloods were at a standstill, watching each other and disturbing the air and clouds around them.
Jay watched the Lightning Dragonblood and its mysterious rider closely.
There was something very familiar about that dragonblood. Kai narrowed his eyes and snarled threateningly. The other dragonblood roared as well, the crown around his skull widening with the motion. Another roar drew Kai's attention and he turned his head in time to see another dragonblood closing in and grabbing Jay around his arms. He yanked the boy out of the saddle and Kai struggled and growled as he fell down.
"KAI!" Jay screamed as his boyfriend plummeted down to the frozen ocean below. Kai was helpless as he tumbled down to the ground, never taking his eyes away from Jay. He fell through the ice and into the cold water of the north. Jay watched as he swam back to the surface, jumping in the air but not flying long or far before plunging down into the ocean. The sight was truly saddening and heart-wrenching. The Fire Dragonblood kept trying to reach his rider, howling to the sky as he watched the flock of dragonbloods carrying Jay further and further away.
Kai was in total shock. He was unable to fly on his own and now his rider was kidnapped by other dragonbloods and he was helpless during the whole thing.
His ears lowered and his eyes begun to shine. He didn't want to let that happen but he couldn't do anything either. As he struggled to stay afloat, he failed to see a crest behind him dipping in and out of the water. It wasn't long before Kai finally noticed them as he held onto a piece of ice. They swam around him and eventually take him under with them. The calming water was again disturbed by Jay's helmet surfacing...
As the group of dragonbloods led by the Lightning one and its rider Jay tried to get free the same way he did with Morro, the dragonblood holding him was much bigger. He tried reaching Kai through their link but he didn't get a reply. He really hoped that meant that Kai was just too focused on staying afloat. Jay knew that Kai was a terrible swimmer, and the freezing waters could seriously hinder his powers or cause damage. When it was clear he wasn't going get out of the Lightning Dragonblood's grip, Jay settled on gaining the attention of the person.
"HEY, YOU LEFT MY BOYFRIEND BACK THERE! HE CAN'T FLY ON HIS OWN, OR SWIM, HE'LL DROWN!" He shouted, but the rider wouldn't listen. They flew through the icebergs until they reached a massive ice fortress. They flew through a series of tunnels and entered a dark large cave. The dragonblood dropped Jay and he rolled back on his feet trying to pacify the creatures that surrounded him. "We have to head back for Kai!" He shouted as he put his hands up to show he wasn't a threat, unintentionally backing into an unfamiliar dragonblood that snarled.
Jay quickly took out his sword, activating it, and swung it in front of the dragonbloods.
The rider watched as the dragonbloods followed the glow of the flaming sword, calming down almost right away. As the flames began to die, he switched it off and took a capsule from his ankle holster that he put inside the device. He spun low to the ground, releasing the gas, and then lit it, making the dragonbloods back off. He then stood up and cautiously approached a different Lightning Dragonblood with his palm up. Before he could touch it, however, the rider jumped inside the circle.
Jay jumped back and watched the stranger anxiously.
"Who are you? The dragon thief? Uh, Iron Baron? Do you even understand what I'm saying?!" He snapped as the strange, silent rider, who had been analyzing the teen so far, swung its staff and hit it on the floor, making it rattle. The noise affected the dragonbloods and one of them flew overhead dragging in its claws the missing Fire Dragonblood. He was in his human form, soaking wet, and only just regaining consciousness as he hacked up the seawater from his lungs.
"Kai!" Jay cried with joy as he ran to him and hugged him while he shook off the water.
"I'm okay, Jaybird, it takes a lot more than a cold bath to kill me off." The brunette reassured Jay, still shivering from the cold.
"I'm so glad to see you too, baby; you really had me worried there." Jay giggled, close to tears as he tried to hug the air out of Kai. Kai smiled warmly as he gave Jay little kisses, happy to be reunited too as he used his powers to warm himself up. On the side of the cave, the rider tilted their head and started shaking the staff. The rattle had all of the Light and Lightning dragonbloods open their mouths and ignite their powers but without shooting.
This illuminated the cave, showing the couple how much they were surrounded.
Kai stood in front of his friend protectively as the mysterious rider started getting closer. The strange person crouched, dropping the staff and shield, as it crawled on four limbs towards them. The two backed away with Kai growling all the while. The rider leaned closer with its hand and twisted it to the side. Unexpectedly, Kai suddenly dipped and fell to the side, crooning in delight, despite being in human form. Jay gasped worry, but at least Kai was still breathing.
The person started to stroke Kai's jaw and then moved on to Jay.
The youth watched the hand warily, backing away uncomfortably as he realizes the rider wanted to touch him. A light gasp was heard under the mask and the person's finger stop short of Jay's chin. Where a small scar was just barely visible. It stepped back and crouched again.
"Jay?" The feminine voice surprised the ginger-haired man, who stuttered as he tried to come up with an answer. Before he could, the rider removed the mask revealing a beautiful woman who looked to be in her very early forties. The dim light in the cave allowed him to get a good look at the woman. The shoulders were fairly pointy, very wide and large in size, and black in color. They were decorated with layered pieces of curved metal, starting at the inner sides and curving outwards.
The upper arms were protected by black, rounded, layered metal rerebraces which sat loosely under the shoulder plates.
The lower arms were covered by vambraces which had an intricately crafted sigil attached to each outer side. The breastplate was a dark sapphire blue and made from several separate pieces which were layered on top of each other. It had what looked like a white lightning design carved into it. It covered almost everything from the neck down and ended at the groin, but the sides were only covered near the bottom. The upper legs were covered by pointed, layered metal.
The lower legs were protected by black greaves which had metal flower ornament pieces covering the outer sides.
The woman looked almost exactly like Jay except for her long blonde hair and stormy blue eyes.
"C-Could it be? After all these years... how is this possible?" The woman stuttered in shock as her excited eyes scanned the young man before her.
"Eh, should I... should I know you?" Jay asked fearfully as Kai regained his senses and got to his knees and the woman visibly deflated.
"No... you were only a baby back then." She muttered sadly, looking ready to cry until she finally looked him dead in the eyes. "But a mother never forgets." She said loud and clearly. It felt like every species of dragonbloods Jay could name had struck him down. His body just went limp and he kept staring at her. Kai was also in his own unresponsive state. That was his boyfriend's long-lost mother, Libber Gordon. The woman he never got to meet.
The woman he found Jay and Cliff still mourned on occasions, and she was alive and a dragonblood rider like her son.
Kai took a sharp intake of breath and began to back off. The woman raised a hand and made a soothing sound. She looked to the side at a loss of what to do and then glanced back at him with the beginning of a smile.
"Come."...

SUMMARY: Kai gets settled into his new school and meets his new roommates...
****************
Kai growled as he exited the yellow cab and walked towards the campus, adjusting his black sunglasses and gripping his suitcase tightly as it bumped across the stone path. He hated his family for this. He hated his father for forcing him to do this, hated his mother for agreeing to it, and hated his sister for not having his back. He didn't even do anything wrong. There was no reason to send him away to a HUMAN boarding school. His parents had given him a stupid lecture about how he needed to connect with people more emotionally, but he tuned out halfway through the lecture.
This was a stupid idea.
He didn't have to spend the rest of his teen years studying with his food. Vampires might not actually hunt humans anymore, but that didn't mean Kai didn't think of them as food. As he walked he looked at the tour brochure they had given him for this city and the school he'd be attending. Ninjago City was comprised of many skyscrapers, featuring billboards for advertising businesses. Within the city were small shops, lively subway systems, small arcades, schools, large banks, parks, cafes, and a vast sewer system.
On the streets were buses that drive around regularly, and many parked cars along the sidewalks.
The school he was attending was pretty unique. The school was called 'Everfree School for Gift Youths', or just 'Everfree' for short. The school only enrolled teenagers aged sixteen to nineteen and focused on not only preparing their students for college, but also for life outside of school. That's why they not only made their students have roommates, but they also charged rent, making the students get jobs. This is what worried Kai the most.
What human in their right mind would hire a seventeen-year-old, hot-tempered, allegedly emotionally detached vampire?
Fortunately, his parents had already paid his share of rent for the next three months, so Kai had plenty of time to find a part-time job somewhere in the city. He was dreading that. He had done a few jobs before, at his parents' suggestion, but he never lasted long. He could feel the few groups of students eyeing him oddly, but he couldn't bring himself to care. Kai sighed as he ran his hand through his spikey hair and looked up at the school he would have to call home for the next two or so years.
The large white building was huge.
From what Kai could see, the school had around twelve floors and seemed to stretch for miles. Kai couldn't help feeling angst as he went into the daunting building. When he stepped into the building he found himself in what looked like a large reception area that was mostly devoid of other people. The reception area was nicely decorated. There was a flat-screen TV hanging from the ceiling with some news channel on, uncomfortable-looking chairs made of plastic set up in rows, tables with old magazines on them.
A young, but plain-looking receptionist with her short blond hair held behind her head by a red headband, sitting behind a desk.
She looked extremely bored. She then looked up, noticed Kai, and motioned for him to sit in a vacant chair.
"Someone will be with you shortly," She said in an annoyed tone of voice. Kai fidgeted nervously and looked around the room. It was deserted except for the receptionist, who never said a word to him after telling him to sit down. He didn't know how much time had gone by when a stern-looking nurse came out of a door next to where the receptionist sat and told him to come with her. She was in her forties with her hair pulled into a tight bun at the back of her head and had light blue eyes, and a fitted nurse uniform.
They walked down the whitewashed corridors and into the nurse's office.
He was instructed to sit on the examining table and the nurse started confirming his medical history with him as well his other information such as his full name and date of birth. The questioning went on, his health history, allergies, and so on. The nurse took his temperature, blood pressure, and pulse, and recorded them on her clipboard. After the examination was done, Kai was then led to an office where the principal, a man named Sensei Wu, met him.
Sensei Wu was an elderly man with a long white beard. He wore a white suit and a conical straw hat and carried a wooden cane around.
"Good Morning, Mr. Smith, please take a seat." He smiled politely at the teen and Kai reluctantly obeyed. "Now then, I know that this is a new experience for you, so I took the liberty of rooming you with two students who I believe will gladly welcome you to our school and help you adjust; their names are Jay Walker and Lloyd Garmadon."
"Can't I have a room of my own?" Kai asked and Sensei Wu frowned slightly, but it quickly disappeared.
"I'm afraid not unless we feel being in a room by yourself is for your own good, it is not something we do I'm afraid." The old man explained and Kai groaned in frustration. After signing the last bits of paperwork and receiving his dorm key, Kai grabbed his suitcase and went to meet his roommates...
****************
After going up the stairs, and getting lost for a little while, Kai eventually found the floor where his dorm was. After noting that the dorms on this floor were reverse to the dorms on the bottom floor, odds on the right, and evens on the left, he located the door to his room. The room he had was pretty big and seemed to be set into three sections. One section was very organized and decorated mostly green with a few comics scattered on the bed.
The other one was a little messy and was mostly dark blue, with comics, video games, and movie posters.
The other was completely bare aside from the bed white, pristine sheets. He saw his two roommates right away. One had long, blond tousled hair, and brown arched eyebrows with bright emerald green eyes that many people would state could sometimes glow in the dark. He wore a dark green jacket with a white t-shirt and black pants and black and dark green sneakers. The other had reddish-brown curly hair with brown eyebrows and light freckles with dark blue eyes.
He wore a blue jacket with a white stripe over a white t-shirt and blue pants with a comfy-looking orange wooly scarf.
They were sat on the blue bed, watching a video on the blond-haired boy's phone, and noticed him as soon as he stepped into the room. The blond one shot up with a big smile on his face, whereas the ginger one eyed him warily. But Kai expected that. While everyone he had seen so far was dressed in bright, colorful, casual clothes he looked like he'd just walked off the set of a Tim Burton film.
"Hey, you must be Kai right?" The blond teen asked as he extended his hand towards the vampire for a handshake. Kai eyed the hand for an awkward moment, not really sure what to do until it hit him and he suddenly grabbed the hand and started shaking it a bit too hard and a bit too fast.
"Yeah, and you are?" He asked when he finally let go of his roommate's hand.
"I'm Lloyd, and this is Jay." He smiled and Kai shot a look at Jay, who shrank back a little, still staring at him. "So, um, Kai, tell us about yourself; I mean, if we're all gonna be living together we need to know each other." Lloyd prompted nervously, not really sure what to say to their new roommate. Likewise, Kai didn't know how to talk to humans. In the end, he just blurted out the first thing he thought of.
"Well, my parents are pretty loaded with cash and they always want what's best for me and my sister, and I'm grateful for that but I can't sleep in my childhood coffin forever, you know what I mean?" He shrugged, trying not to show how uncomfortable he was. If they saw his hesitation, they'd go for the kill.
"Not really." Jay finally spoke, his voice filled with fear and Kai glared at him as an unpleasant silence filled the air.
"Uh, so, I'm sure the principal explained this already but rent is $264 a month, so that's gonna be $88 between each of us," Lloyd explained, trying to ease the tension. "You would also get free student parking."
"I can't drive."
"That's fine; Jay and I are really laid-back roommates, we don't party too hard but we are night owls."
"That's wonderful, I didn't know there was an anthropomorphic community in Ninjago City," Kai replied in genuine interest, only to become confused when both humans started giggling. He realized that they were not actually talking about literal owls and he was thankful that they thought he was just making a joke. He'd have to be more careful from now on.
"So is there anything else you'd like to know about me?"
"Yeah, you're not gonna murder us in our sleep or anything right?" Jay asked fearfully as he looked the brunette up and down.
"Um, no..." Kai replied, not really sure what to say to that. After they got the pleasantries out of the way, Lloyd and Jay helped him unpack and get settled into his part of the room. As he finished unpacking he noticed Jay still staring at him so Kai met his gaze. They both stood there staring at each other for a few minutes until Jay finally blinked and looked away. Kai barely managed to suppress and smirk and laugh. He was starting to think he really would like it here after all...
AND NUMBER TWO OF THE NONSENSE I’M WRITING TO COPE.
[Ninjago season 15 finale spoilers]
So, like I said earlier, I was a little salty about Kai’s lack of reaction to the whole Nya thing, so I wrote something where he did react, and now here’s something as an explanation for why he didn’t react in canon.
HERE WE GO.
-
She’s not going anywhere, the mantra in Kai’s head continued through the funeral and even after as they spoke to so many of the ones who had come to pay their respects to someone who was not truly lost. She’s not gone. None of us are ever gone. We always come back. They always come back.
He clutched his bowl in his hands, now empty of the water he’d poured into the vase during the funeral. How many funerals had he attended? Zane’s. Cole hadn’t had one, neither had Pixal. So many near death experiences but they were never really gone. They were never gone.
Keep reading
An excuse to ramble about my favorite rottmnt fics?!?! HECK YEAH!!! HERE WE GO
(I dont know everyone’s tumblrs, but Ill tag the ones I do know)
A Long Way To Go by @sammyheroes
(2018) Leonardo gets really sick with a strange yokai disease and his family tries to figure out why… Dont wanna say too much to give anything away, but if you like to read about magic, possession, brotherly bonding and angst, and a lil bit of apriltello, read this!! It’s amazing, and theres a sequel too that just started that Im OBSESSED with.
Like Father Like Son by @eternalglitch
(2018) Probably the most popular rottmnt fic in existence, but its going on this list anyways for the new people in the fandom to know about too! Its Leo centric and features Draxum kidnapping him to get his original turtle warrior plan back up and running. Its an amazing fanfiction, one of my favorite fanfics of any fandom Ive ever been in, but it does feature some pretty dark topics. Make sure u keep the tags and warnings in mind if you read!
It Started With the Milk
Donnie is acting strange, very strange… And Leo is gonna figure out why. A creepy fic that has just the right amount of psychological horror and angst for me.
Frayed Knots
My favorite 2012/2018 crossover fic! It has some really cool takes on the concept I havent seen before, like the emotions and fears that one of them have bleeding into their counterpart (so like, 2012 Leo feeling 2018 Leo’s fears, for example). Its really really good and I definitely reccommend it
Shellshocked
Angsty fic in which Leo gets his shell cracked while protecting Donnie. Angst/comfort with a happy ending—I may or may not have stopped writing this list in the middle of it just to reread this one
The Cornerstore by @imaginashon
(2018) Cute turtle tots story with amazing artwork to go along with it. Splinter lets the boys play while he goes scavenging, but when it gets too cold theyre forced to find refuge in a human store. A lot of my previous recs are pretty angsty but this is so fluffy and its adorable!
The Brains and the Brawn
Ok its a comic, not a fic, but close enough. Donnie and Raph team up! The two try and beat the Purple Dragons but stuff happens and Donnie loses access to his tech and Raph is forced to do some math. Its got angst, comfort, and humor. Definitely recommend.
Its Alright Its Okay
When Leo is injured during a cave in incident, his brothers try and keep him alive… The only problem? Leo is the team’s only medic, and his brothers have no idea what to do. Angst/comfort, and I must have read the final chapter like a dozen times by now because I love one of the ending scenes so much.
If anyone else has any recs, feel free to reblog and add them!
I love Ninjago and if you're looking for more Ninjago fanfiction that is all you'll find here.
