    Summary

    The monitor on his ankle was a leaded weight that was getting harder to ignore by the minute. Cole had run away from two foster homes and a group home at this point, as well as having a history of self harming and an attempt, so it was understandable that he would be sent to a high risk group home. Though, the people he talked to hadn’t called it a group home. They called it a ‘monastery.’

    -

    The monastery is a ‘last chance’ group home for kids with, unique sets of setbacks.

    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.
