“Don’t worry guys!

I’ll always be with you”

I am so sorry that this has happened to you. While I don't want you to leave you must do what is best for you and no matter what happens, even if you never come back, I wish you the best in whatever you end up doing. ❤😭❤😭❤🤝

Oh boy, it's a long one but hear me out

If you happen to be reading this, i’m sorry to say that this will be my last post I make on ninjaheadcanons; that being said, remember me for what I did then and not what I’ll be remembered for now.

I mean, hey, if i’m being sentenced for a crime I may as well pled my case, right?

I do not condone any Lloyd ships nor do I support them, I never have.

When I first started this blog I did every single request that went into my inbox. Every single one. Wether it made me uncomfortable or not.

Why did I do it??

Cause I can’t say no to people. As silly as it sounds, I can’t and still can’t say no. That’s just who I am. It wasn’t until I finally drew the line did I start standing up against the ships I am not comfortable with.

And I'm going to be completely honest, I write for things I don't want to all the time. Whether it's Lloyd related or not, a good portion of the time I have written for things that make me uncomfortable.

Why? Because it made people happy. And that is all I ever wanted. By answering requests ANY request good or bad, It made people smile. I wanted to make people happy and I hope that I was able to do so❤️

And as for the transphobic thing, I AM A TRANS MALE; If I had written anything remotely transphobic, it must have been misconstrued.

There's so much more I want to say to you all; to all those who have supported me since the begin. New or old. You matter and you are all my friends and to some you are even family. You have made everything so amazing❤️❤️❤️

I should probably say that I’m not leaving cause of that list. I said, in the beginning, I write HCs because it was fun for me and unfortunately, it’s not enjoyable as it once was.

I did have so much fun though! It was so nice to be able to talk with you all and have conversations about au and all different kinds of headcanons!❤️❤️

I just thought I should address those things as I have gotten a ton of questions about it.

I’ve been planning on making this post for awhile but, thought that I should probably do it early.

This is my final goodbye, my friends.

Thank you for everything -Grim Valentine🌻

The Flame and the Dragon Chapter 25

Chapter 25: Symphony Of Fate

Kai and Cole spent the next few minutes just holding in each other's arms as the servants danced and celebrated at their feet. A few such as Shade, Harumi, and Neuro had already left to their respective workstations for the night. As they finally pulled apart, Kai looked like he wanted to say something to the prince, something he had been meaning to say for a while, when suddenly the entire tower started to shake. Everyone froze as the tremor subsided.

At first, they all thought it was an earthquake, that is until another tremor hit, occupied by the sound of piano keys.

Instead of fading, however, the shaking only got more and more violent as the music grew louder. Cole vaguely recognized the sound as Beethoven's 5th Symphony, but no didn't seem time to worry about that.

"What is this? What's going on?" Nelson cried in fear as the entire prison tower shook violently.

"I don't know!" Tox shrieked as the tremors caused the room to crumble and chunks to fall from the ceiling.

"Hurry now, hurry!" Zane shouted as he tried to get everyone out of the road of the falling debris. Cole had to push Kai away seconds before a large rock impaled the spot where the brunette once stood. Kai could only look around in complete shock and fear as the dungeon around him was being reduced the rumble and his friends screamed and ran around, looking for an escape.

"Can you believe I never took a lesson?" A voice crackled through the entire castle as the music boomed. Cole's eyes widened in horror and anger, recognizing the voice almost instantly. Before he could do anything, however, the floor between him and Kai separated.

"Cole!" Kai shouted as he and the others were forced to back up against the far wall to stop themselves from falling into the seemingly bottomless pit.

"Kai!" Cole shouted back, but he knew there wasn't much he could do. The cell was too small and unstable to fly over. His best bet was to find the source of this dark magic and stop it before Kai or anyone else got hurt. He knew there was only one organ big enough to produce this much noise, with or without magic. He burst out of the cell and flew madly through the castle until he came to a room down the hall from his bedroom. He flew through the doors and snarled when he saw the old pipe organ with familiar black magic pouring out of it.

"YOU!" He roared with more fury than he had ever felt.

"Greetings your highness! I hope you like the song!" He mocked cruelly. "You can remain as you are forever and ever!" The disembodied voice laughed evilly as the music started up again.

"Enough!" Cole shouted as he charged at the organ, intending to destroy it. Before he could, however, the madman blasted him with some kind of music magic, knocking him into the wall...

****************

Back in the falling dungeon, Kai somehow managed to place one of the few fallen roof beams across the crack in the dungeon floor and began to lead everyone across the floor. They could hear Cole trying to stop the music, but when he went quiet, Kai feared the worst. He didn't know what he was going to do, but he just knew that he had to get down there and see what he could do to help stop this attack. He would give it everything he had to stop this.

Kai may not be half-dragon like Cole or have any real supernatural powers, but that didn't mean he was going to stay in this crumbling tower like some kind of damsel in distress.

The first thing he had to do was get his friends to safety before he went charging into some kind of battle.

"Be careful." He warned the servants and they all thankfully made it across the crack with little trouble. Once they were all safe, they all dashed towards the source of the music to try and help the hybrid prince. As they ran, Jay, Tox, and Nelson all froze by their master's bedroom as the others carried on. The door was wide open and they had a clear view of the room and the enchanted candle. The shaking had almost knocked the flicking candle off the table it was resting on.

"The candle!" Nelson cried in horror. If that candle went out or was damaged in any way, any hope of becoming human again would be destroyed along with it. When they said they would be ok with staying with the curse, they were only trying to comfort Kai and themselves. But now that they knew that there was still a chance of Kai lifting the curse, they didn't want to lose it again.

"I've got it! I've got it!" Tox shouted as she shot forward and caught the candle just before it hit the floor. Unfortunately, the tremors were still too strong for them to safely put the candle back in its resting spot. They would have to wait and hope Kai and Cole stopped this attack soon...

****************

When Kai and the others made it to the room where the music for coming from, they all froze at what they saw. The dark magic had warped the pipe organ into a monstrous creation as dark magic and music thundered and boomed from the twisted pipes. Cole lay on his back a few feet from them, completely motionless. For a brief moment, Kai thought the Dragon Lord was dead. Just then, Cole groaned in pain as he rolled over onto his front but was still too out of it to stand up.

Kai sighed in relief, but the moment was short-lived as the organ released another burst of power.

This caused more cracks and chucks to fall from the walls and ceilings, and the statues to break and shatter. Without thinking, Kai rushed to Cole's side in an effort to protect him. The servants attempted to follow, but the organ shot them all back. As Kai tried to wake Cole up, a peal of deep, evil laughter suddenly came out of the organ. This caused Kai to freeze before he growled and faced the instrument of destruction, recognizing the laughter.

As he did this, no one noticed Cole slowly start to regain consciousness.

He opened his eyes to the sight of Kai standing protectively in front of him before the giant organ.

"Well, well, well, the prized slut had finally arrived! I would have thought you'd have frozen to death in that cell!" The sorcerer cackled and Cole growled lowly at Kai being called a prized slut. "I don't understand why you would care so much for a monster who imprisoned both you and your siblings but also cut you off from everything you knew and loved and then threw you in a freezing, filthy dungeon just because you wanted to have a little bit of fun." The madman mocked and Kai hesitated for a second.

He hadn't forgiven Cole for those first three things, but he was getting there.

After spending so much time with the prince, he now understood that Cole was a good man underneath all those scales and anger. He was just lonely and desperate to find someone to break this horrible curse. Now Kai may care about Cole and the others, but he couldn't promise them that he could break the curse this sorcerer had put on them. But that didn't mean he wasn't going to try.

"You're the only monster here." He snarled at the organ. "Cole may have his faults, but he's a good man inside and I'd rather spend the rest of my life here than let you hurting him anymore you spineless bastard!" He shouted, shocking everyone, Cole mostly. "You're so pathetic that you have to rely on little birds and a rusty piano to do your dirty work! You haven't got the guts to face us yourself!" He laughed bitterly and the sorcerer roared with rage.

"Kai..." Cole muttered in shock and joy, startling the brunette. He didn't know Cole was awake and had heard every word. Before either of them could say a word, the organ suddenly blasted Kai in the back, sending him flying into the far wall. He let out a cry of pain as he crumbled down to his side, not getting up. "KAI!" Cole exclaimed in horror before turning his fury to the instrument. He wanted to destroy it, but he was too busy avoiding the weapon's attacks.

All of a sudden, Zane burst into the battle and charged at the organ.

The sorcerer was so focused on Cole that he didn't have time to react as the yeti punched the cold pipes of the organ. The music stopped and was replaced with a high-pitched, screeching echo that erupted into the entire castle. Everyone cried out in pain as they covered their ears, but this briefly cut off the sorcerer's connection. As Kai opened his eyes were a groan, he looked around and zeroed in on a stone mallet from one of the destroyed statues.

"Cole! The mallet!" He cried and Cole looked to where he was pointing. Knowing what the teen was thinking, he shot forward and grabbed the weapon. The sorcerer tried to stop him, but Cole flew high into the air, successfully dodging the magic with an unknown form of rage and determination. With a mighty roar, Cole launched the mallet at the organ, breaking it and ending the evil music. Once they were sure the tremors had stopped, Tox carefully put the candle back on the table.

After making sure it was secure, she and the others went to check on Kai and Cole.

They were surprised and a little scared to see Cole slamming the stone mallet into the remains of the pipe organ until they were both broken beyond repair. The force of the pipe organ falling ripped a hole in the wall, exposing the room to the cold winter air and the dark woods surrounding the castle. An unearthly shriek echoed from the metal remains as a sickly dark purple mist floated out and up into the shadows of the roof. Everyone in the ruined room was in stunned silence for a moment before Cole let out a shaky breath and turned to Kai.

He wanted to say something, but then he saw how pale the usually tanned teen suddenly was.

His body suddenly fell limp and he fell over coughing and shuddering. Cole caught him and realized that Kai's clothes were still wet from his unexpected swim in the lake. Cole started rubbing his back to help him breathe better, but all the teen could manage was a series of heavy, desperate rasps. When his eyes started to close, Ronin shot forward and slapped him hard across the face, waking him instantly. Cole wanted to break the troll's hand for that, but deep down he knew why he did it.

"Don't you dare go to sleep!" He commanded and started taking off the rest of his wet clothes. "Don't just stand there, help me!" He yelled at Jay and Echo. "We have to get him out of these wet clothes or he'll freeze to death!" He ordered and the couple nodded and started helping him. Cole shook his head to clear his thoughts at the sight of Kai's naked body and stood up. He removed his own shirt and wrapped it around Kai's trembling shoulders.

One of the advantages of being a dragon hybrid was being larger than others, so his clothes wrapped around Kai like a thin blanket.

Ronin felt Kai's forehead and cursed loudly. The teen struggled to stay awake, but his eyelids felt like lead and his body couldn't support his weight.

"Cole we have to get him out the cold, now! He's barely conscious!"

"I know!" Cole snarled, but everyone could sense the terror laced in the prince's voice.

"We got the blankets!" Harumi hollered and started wrapping them around Kai's naked form.

"You four, go and get whatever Neuro has for treating hypothermia and Zane, you take him back to his room," Cole ordered Nelson, Jay, Echo, and Tox as he scooped Kai bridal style in his arms, double-checking to make sure the blankets and coat were wrapped securely around his body, before handing him over to the yeti. Zane adjusted his grip and held the teen as close to his chest as he could to block out the cold. Once Kai was secure, everyone departed to do their separate tasks, leaving Cole alone in the partially destroyed room.

The prince stood there for a second, glaring at the remains of the organ before he made to leave and check on Kai.

But before taking off, he growled furiously and turned to the hole that revealed the woods.

"I'LL GET YOU FOR THIS YOU SON OF A BITCH! YOU HEAR ME?! I'LL HUNT YOU DOWN AND I'LL RIP YOU LIMB FOR LIMB FOR THIS! I SWEAR IT! I'LL GET YOU FOR THIS IF IT'S THE LAST THING I DO!" He screamed a terrible combination of a declaration of vengeance and the furious roar of a dragon determined to avenge its fallen comrades. With that, he turned around, flapped his wings flew back into the depths of the palace as fast as his wings could fly, roaring in anger and terror the entire way...

The Flame and the Dragon Chapter 35

Chapter 35: The Blizzard

Scorched needles, scarps of wood blackened by rage, and bits of ash and charcoal scattered across the burnt snow where the proud pine tree once stood. Specks of blood and splinters dropped from the Sorcerer's scraped and roughened fingertips like someone had scattered rubies. His nails were shredded and his cuticles were split from clawing at the bark in a fit of rage. His fury had reduced the aged pine to a pile of ashes. All while, the raven remained still on its perch in the snow, completely unfazed by his master's wrath.

The Sorcerer's growl was dangerous and low before he suddenly screamed and spun around delivering a powerful blow to the young sapling unfortunate enough to be in the path of his wrath.

It made no effort to protests the Sorcerer's rage. Blinded by his rage, all he could see were the images his spy had shown. Images of that disgustingly repulsive beast, not even a beast but a half-beast, dancing with the Occulti, his Occulti. He clenching his fists causing his fingers to scream in pain but he was numb to all but his rage. He could forgive Kai for that. Surely the Dragon was becoming desperate and would use any kindness to trick the youth into saying the words needed to break his curse and deny him his greatest triumph.

He could forgive the youth for his naivety and his defenselessness.

He was merciful, but not after treachery. His wrath erupted, sending the curling shadows at his feet exploding in all directions. They shattered and pierced whatever they came in contact with until the clearing was a hollow circle of scorched earth.

"He's dirty! That damned whore! Damn him for giving away his purity, and damn me for thinking any one of their kind was redeemable!" He screamed and stomped his foot and tore at his hair and clothes until he panted like a beast after a hunt. But no matter how loud he screamed or how much he destroyed, it could never destroy that last scene from his mind. That beautiful boy, who should have been his consort and ruling at his side, wantonly giving his virginity to that monster and enjoying it.

He wanted to scream again, but someone else beat him to it.

"Lloyd! Where are you?!" A woman cried and the weak call was followed by a loud stumble against the carpet of snow. Bewildered, the Sorcerer quickly shielded himself among the trees careful not to let a spot of his red clothing betray his location. He watched a young woman rise stumbling from the muddy earth, and choke loudly on air. Like a shadow, the Sorcerer swooped closer and gasped. It was easy to miss from a distance but beneath the thick winter clock and the leaves and mud matting the sister of his Occulti.

The girl bulldozed through the woods and threw herself forward through the snow.

The action caused her heavy cloak to fall open revealing a shower of black hair, shiny even in the shadows of the winter forest. The girl immediately stumbled and almost fell over, but she was able to remain standing by leaning against a nearby tree. She was clearly sick as a dog and should be going home, but she had to keep going. She tried to scream, but instead choked on her own words and coughed in a way that made even the Sorcerer's skin crawl.

"I have... to find... Lloyd," She wheezed, shoving herself off the tree with surprising strength and half stumbled in her haste. She didn't get far before exhaustion and the brutal cold forced her to her knees. "I have to find them! I have to find Lloyd then we can save Kai! I have to get them back!" She spoke passionately to no one, but it was laced with the madness of grief. Again she shoved herself forward but instead her hands clenched her head and formed fists against her hair.

"I have to protect them! I promised I would! I promised them! Mom and Dad, I promised, and look what I've done! Lloyd's probably dead and I can't even think of what Kai's going through!" She screamed and tore at her hands and clothes with the rage and madness that only grief could drive a sane man to. She slammed her fists against the ground and punched at anything she could. All of a sudden, she was suddenly filled with new determination and charged into the blizzard, not aware she was being watched.

A triumphant smile split the Sorcerer's face.

Perhaps, there was some hope left after all. He smirked cunningly and called his pet. The bird abandoned its statue state and flew to its master's wrist.

"Tell me, my pet is he the one? The one our little Occulti spoke off?" He asked, but even though the bird said nothing a flash of its eyes and the Sorcerer had his answer. "And this 'Lloyd' she searches for, is he the other?" He questioned and again the bird was like a prop, only its glowing eyes gave an indication that it was alive. The Sorcerer snickered to conceal his glee, not wishing to betray his location to the still wandering mage. He spun in delight, thinking this was fantastic. It seemed that the Fates favored him after all.

"Follow her, when you've reached them both, alert me; now go!" He ordered as a grin curled wickedly on his face. The bird was off without another word, vanishing in the darkness while its Master laughed at his fortune. "Oh don't worry, girl, you shall see your little brother again soon!" He cackled like a flock of crows taking to wing and threw his bloody cloak over his shoulder...

****************

It had been two weeks since he ran away from home to find the castle where his beloved brother was being held prisoner by that beast. Two weeks he had been living in the woods surviving only because of the warming weather of the upcoming spring and because years of living a nomadic life had taught him to pack and prepare for the worst of situations. Two weeks since he had begun his search for Kai and he had found nothing. He thought it would be easy, with Spring fast approaching, that is until a blizzard appeared seemingly out of nowhere.

It had caught Lloyd completely off-guard and forced him to stop his search and find shelter.

Lloyd whimpered as he bunched his knees to his chest, shivering but not from the cold. The multiple fires he had started to keep the cave air warm, and the thick clothing he had packed had taken care of that. He covered his mouth to silence the heavy, haggard coughs fighting to escape. Quickly, he unpacked the bag containing a herbal blend and dumped it into the pot of water that had been boiling over the fire. He inhaled a sharp, large breathe and exhaled contently.

Immediately, he felt his throat soothe and his chest became less constricted.

He hadn't needed to use the herbal vapors so much before, but the cold weather wasn't doing his weak chest any good. He knew he would have been fine if he stayed in that warm house at night like a good boy. But how could he when Kai had been missing for almost five months, and the castle where the dragon kept him prisoner seemed to completely vanish? The thought made Lloyd's eyes prick with tears, but he managed not to cry. His fingers trembled, he clenched his arms and knees tighter in an attempt to feel some form of comfort.

But there was none. Nothing he did could replace the warmth and security he felt when he, Nya, and Kai were all together at home.

He knew he couldn't go home. Nya would never let him leave the house again until he was eighty. Lloyd didn't blame her, he ran away after all, but he couldn't keep waiting. He couldn't keep sitting around and doing nothing while his older sister worked and searched diligently for their missing sibling. He had traveled deeper and deeper into the woods. No matter how many times he found himself back at the path where they got lost in the storm, however, he couldn't find any trace of the huge castle.

Had it been sheer dumb luck that Kai found it the first time?

Or that they found it at all? Lloyd shook his head, forcing himself to dry his sleepy eyes. He then sat up with new determination, mentally forcing the tears and shivering down deep. If Kai could find the castle to save him and Nya then he could do the same thing to save Kai. He removed himself from the warmth of his fires and carefully approached the edge of the cave entrance, where he could hear the blizzard howling and blowing. The cold air bit angrily against his lukewarm skin, as if punishing him for daring to defy it.

Over the woods, he could see the setting sun was nothing more than a yellow sliver above the trees and the night had gone a deep grayish purple of twilight that bled into the dark blue and black of night.

Seeing that there was no point in traveling in the dark, Lloyd slid back into the crevice in the rocks and carefully covered it with a thick net of branches to keep out the cold. He had found this cave by sheer accident when he had slipped and fallen into the entrance. Through that, he discovered a fairly large-sized cave, hollowed out of the dirt and lined with rocks like a fox den. Lloyd had decided it would be the perfect place to camp while he explored the woods by day.

That proved to be true when the underground and rocks blocked out much of the night's cold.

The small opening allowed just enough air so that he wouldn't suffocate from the smoke of the fires. Sometimes, when he felt really weak and his medicine wasn't helping. He would have to spend all day curled up in his makeshift tent under the thick blankets he had brought until his shivering stopped and he could move again. Tonight had been one of his rare nights where he had just enough energy to go exploring again, but he regretted it when he had received an unwanted follower.

Lloyd shivered and blew air into his gloved hands, and rubbed them together before returning to the fire.

Outside a loud crunch of the snow made him scream, the sound echoing off the cave walls forcing Lloyd to cover his ears until it faded out.

"LLOYD!" Nya's voice suddenly screeched, coming closer to the cave. Before he could say anything, she pulled away from the cover and started sobbing tears of joy when she saw her little brother huddled in the dark. Lloyd didn't get a chance to react before she suddenly hugged the air out of his lungs. They stayed like that for a few seconds, before a look of rage fell over her face and she started shaking the little boy. "WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING LLOYD?! I'VE ALREADY LOST KAI, DO YOU THINK I WANT TO LOSE YOU?! WELL, DO YOU?!" She screamed, still sobbing through clenched teeth.

However, her rage suddenly vanished when Lloyd finally released all the tears he had been holding in and started sobbing loudly.

Nya sighed and hugged her little brother again, letting him sob into her shoulder until he eventually tired himself out and fell asleep. As soon as she was sure he was out cold, Nya packed up his things and lifted him up in her arms. Once he was secure and safe, she left the cave and began to head home. However, it only took a few seconds to discover that she couldn't find the trail leading back to the village in this monstrous blizzard. She tried turning around and heading back to the cave.

But her face paled when she realized that the blizzard had covered her footprints in fresh snow.

She was now stranded in the middle of a blizzard in the forest with one brother sick in her arms and the other being held prisoner by a monster...

****************

Kai screamed for his siblings in his sleep as he thrashed around in the bed, only to find himself restrained. His eyes suddenly flew open and he found himself being held in place by Cole, the man's green eyes fixed on him with a mixture of fear and concern. A cold stab of fear pierced him, completely unaware of where he was. He recognized Cole's room, but the bedsheets were twisted and half flung off. One of Kai's arms raised over his head the other clenched the pillow in a fierce death grip, with Cole holding both his wrists.

Cole's tail was wrapped firmly around Kai's waist to keep from thrashing about.

Slowly, so as not to scare him further, Cole unwound himself and looked him over for any sign of injury.

"Kai? Are you alright?" He asked, carefully and tenderly. The details of his nightmare came back to him like a cold knife twisting into his heart. A sudden stab of guilt and terror knifed through him, making Kai flip over and smother his face in a pillow and burst into tears. "Kai? Talk to me!" Cole pleaded as he kept shaking him, his voice sterner, but not losing an ounce of concern.

"I'm fine," Kai lied wiping his eyes. "I just had a nightmare."

"I can see that, you don't wake up crying and screaming if you've had a good dream," Cole said bluntly, lying down next to him and pulling Kai into his arms. Despite Cole's attempt at light humor, Kai said nothing. He just looked at the pillow beneath his face. A tear he hadn't noticed ran down his face and he found himself shaking again. He tried to speak but the only coherent thoughts in his head were the pleading, effusing eyes of his two brothers.

Determined to relieve his precious flame of his distress, Cole wrapped tentative arms around Kai.

He then pulled the brunette into his lap and brought him down with him against the pillows. Kai resisted the embrace and tried to protest but regretted it when Cole looked him straight in the eye. His face was a mask that betrayed no emotion, but his serious eyes held unspoken trust.

"You saw your siblings, didn't you? You're worried about them." He said and Kai's flinch of shock was the only answer Cole needed. "Don't look so surprised, you screamed both their names; I've had nightmares about my sister and parents for years after they vanished, so you don't have to hide your worry, and I don't want you thinking you can't come to me when you're upset like this." He promised as he tucked one of Kai's loose bangs behind his ear.

"It's not that," Kai admitted, feeling his chest stir at the words. He paused, guilt shaking him to the core. "I don't know if that was a nightmare or another premonition, but... it made me realize just how selfish I've been; here I am, happier than I've ever been in my entire life, surrounded by people who adore me, wearing the most expensive things I've ever owned! I'm practically living a fairy tale and they think I'm starving to death in some cold, dark tower, being tortured."

"Oh," Cole muttered as Kai covered his head with his arms and buried it in Cole's chest.

"They probably think I'm dead, Cole!" Kai cried as tears streamed down his face. He had never stopped thinking of his siblings, not since the day he had arrived at the castle. It seemed wrong to do anything else. Even when he started to like his confinement, and enjoy the company of the Dragon Lord, he still remembered his brother and sister and was comforted in the thought that they were both safe and hopefully happy. He never stopped to consider that his sacrifice might have the opposite effect of what he intended.

Or that his disappearance had destroyed their lives in a way he never considered.

But he had been so happy. The last few days were like a dream come true and he wanted nothing more than to pretend that it could last forever, and he dared, for once, to be selfish and think of nothing but his own happiness. Of course, that decision would come back to haunt him. Guilt pooled in Cole's gut and he cursed his own helplessness as he watched Kai weep. He hated seeing Kai like this. The brunette deserved to be happy and content, not feel like he had the weight of the world on his shoulders, and be consumed by guilt and shame for wanting to forget that and enjoy life for once.

Especially since it was his fault Kai's family was separated from him.

Looking back at the darkest and earliest days of when he and Kai met when he had unleashed his bitterness and rage against Nya and Lloyd. Kai's siblings had every right to be afraid of him. He had only agreed to Kai's proposal because the boy fascinated him and not because he cared at all about their fates, even if Lloyd's health had concerned him. It had filled him with shame and he knew he had to make up for it. None of them deserved to be separated from one another.

Especially not because of him.

They deserved better than that ridiculous town trapped in time, and he knew just how to do it. Cole stroked Kai's back and gently shook him. When Kai raised his head, eyes red-rimmed and cheeks damp with tears, Cole comforted him with caring words pressed with butterfly kisses along his neck and temples.

"If you're that concerned about them, then you can always invite them to stay here." He said with a soft smile and Kai shot up.

"What?" He croaked in a weak voice forced through a constricted throat.

"There's more than enough room here, the staff will adore them; you already said you three planned on leaving your town anyway, and I don't think they'll argue if you ask them, and I can bear the bulk of their hatred for your sake."

"Why would they hate you?" Kai blurted, too stunned to think clearly, and Cole raised an eyebrow of annoyed obviousness.

"Given the fact that I locked them in a tower and technically kidnapped you, I doubt they'd be happy to see me or be comfortable with the fact that you're now my lover, but as I said, I can bear the bulk of their hatred until they see I'm not as cold as I act."

"You'd do that for me?"

"I'd do anything for you," Cole replied, pressing their foreheads together. Overcome by emotion, Kai launched himself into Cole's chest and held him tight with such force he nearly knocked Cole over. Tears rained down his cheeks but this time they were happy tears.

"Thank you, Cole! Thank you so much! I don't deserve you!" Kai cried as he buried himself in Cole's torso grateful for the man's comfort and support and his understanding more than anything else.

"Don't ever say that again, don't even think it." Cole scolded but there was little force behind it. Cole pulled the comforter up to Kai's shoulders as they fell back asleep. "We'll talk more about it in the morning."

"Thank you, Cole, thank you for everything." Kai yawned as he dried his eyes.

"You have nothing to thank me for, it's the least I can do since you saved my soul." Cole smiled as he sensed Kai's lingering uncertainty, he continued to hold his lover close and comfort him until they finally fell back into a peaceful sleep. Cole continued to hold Kai, keeping a careful watch for the rest of the night, treasuring the feeling of holding Kai close. When the nightmares bothered him again, Cole was quick to chase them away and coaxed Kai back to sleep with soothing touches and caring words until Kai quieted...

Masterpost of My AUs

So, I have a ton of these that I never posted about…

Here’s info on ALL of my AUs, whether I’ve posted about them or not! Mostly in order of when I made them! I’ll provide a place for a link with each, if there’s no link I haven’t posted about it yet.

Future AU: (Mostly) adheres to canon. My fankids and their adventures, along with the shenanigans the ninja get up to when married! It’s polyninja, but the ninja are married to their female love interests too and the girls are married to eachother. Also contains Destinyshipping, Garmaclouse and Badboyshipping. Consists of two parts: Right after Lilly, the ninja’s youngest is born; and thirteen years later, when most of them are old enough to be training. Learn more here.

Serprincetine AU: Follows a completely different story than canon. 100% a polyninja AU. All of the ninja are serpentine: Kai is the prince of the Hypnobrai, Cole is a Constrictai training to become a Peacekeeper’s Guard, Jay is a Venomari mechanic, and Zane is a Fangpyre mercenary hired to kill Kai before his 18th birthday. A Peacekeeper is someone who’s supposed to keep the peace between the five tribes. Garmadon, an Anacondrai, is the current Peacekeeper, while Kai is his successor. Garmadon is going to die on Kai’s 18th birthday, so Lloyd hates Kai. Zane was hired to kill Kai so the Fangpyre could start a war. There’s a lot to unpack and it’s also a soulmate AU, so I can’t fit everything here. Learn more here.

Vampire Hunter AU: Follows a completely different story than canon. Lavashipping and Technoshipping. Jay and Cole are vampire hunters who have been hired by their village’s leader, Wu, to kill the vampires living in the castle above the town: Kai and Zane. Due to a long and harsh blizzard, Cole and Jay are trapped with the extremely hot vampires in the very nice castle. They can tolerate it I guess. Learn more here.

I Obliterate My Favorite Character for No Reason Other Than Angst AU/Kai Dies AU (first one is the official name/tag): Starts out same as canon but deviates in Season 3. No ships. Kai says in Season 4 that he wanted to die instead of Zane, so I grant his wish. Except he doesn’t come back because he’s made of flesh and bone. Read more here.

Everything’s Alright AU: Follows a completely different story than canon. No ships. Nothing bad happens, so the ninja can just live normal lives. Read more here.

Kai Smith is Now Kai Chen and He’s Evil AU/Kai Chen AU: Slightly deviates from canon. Kinda plasmashippy. Essentially Kai and Skylor swap places, with Chen adopting Kai and Skylor’s mom adopting Nya after Ray and Maya die and Chen and his wife divorce. Kai fucking dies, then tries to help his dad wreck Nya and Skylor, then dies again. Read more here.

Actor AU: Follows a completely different story than canon. No ships.  The characters are all actors, simply playing parts in a TV show. Most of them have different backgrounds and slightly different personalities. It has very little development, and it doesn’t really have much of an actual storyline. Learn more here.

Jay Suffers AU: Starts out same as canon but deviates in Season 4. No ships. All of the ninja except Jay die at some point and Jay is suffering. Ed and Edna place him in a mental hospital after he attempts suicide and he befriends Harumi. Mostly focuses on his time in the mental hospital, and I try to make it wholesome sometimes to offset all of the angst. Read more here.

Ninja Nya AU: Slightly deviates from canon. Contains plasmashipping, a hint of lavashipping in season 3 and 4 and phoenixshipping. Everything’s the same except Kai and Nya swap places: Nya is the ninja of Fire, and Kai is Samurai X/the ninja of water. Read more here.

Oni and Dragons AU: Slightly deviates from canon. Contains plasmashipping and Jaya, probably. Maybe Wusako, if you squint. And possibly glaciershipping to accompany the plasma. Oni and Dragons were created to serve humans like the FSM. Wu is also a full human. Wu and Garmadon aren’t brothers; rather, Garmadon is Wu’s former bodyguard. Garmadon is an Oni, and like most is sick of being bossed around by what he considers a powerless species. He and every Oni elemental master lead a revolt to gain their freedom, while Wu and the Dragon elemental masters fight against them. The Oni win, but Garmadon wants to completely control the humans and Dragons. He gets banished to the Underworld. Wu started training Morro, who was half-Oni and half-Dragon, to foster peace between the warring species. Morro gets killed by an Oni. Wu later starts training two half-Dragons (Kai and Nya), two half-Oni (Cole and Jay) and a Nindroid (Zane) for a second attempt. They later find Lloyd, who is Wu and Misako’s illegitimate child (Misako is still married to Garmadon) and 100% human. Dragons and Oni are both very protective species by nature, so Kai, Nya, Jay and Cole all become very protective of Lloyd. They learn about Morro much sooner, since Wu actually honors him and his death with a small altar and talks about him. They raise Morro from the dead, since he’s still the Chosen One (because Lloyd doesn’t deserve that burden). He kicks Garmadon’s ass and everything else is just shenanigans with the ninja, Morro and redeemed Garmadon. Wu actually acknowledges that he is not a good parent. The ninja are all adults because Wu learned from his mistakes like he should have in canon. Read more here.

The Pirate and His Dragon AU: Follows a completely different story from canon. The entire purpose of this AU is plasmashipping. This AU combines the popular concept of Pirate! Jay with my Half-Dragon! Kai because I thought it would be cool. Mostly just slice-of-life as they do pirate and half-dragon things. Read more here.

Garmadon’s Servant Kai AU: Slightly deviates from canon. Canon ships (Jaya and Llorumi). Kai starts training with Wu, only to soon reveal he’s been in cahoots with Lord Garmadon the whole time. He remains a traitor and nuisance until season 3, in which he pretends to chill out due to Garmadon becoming good. He slowly warms back up to the ninja until season 8, in which he’s the Quiet One instead of Harumi (Lloyd gets the healthy romance arc he deserves) and Kai essentially completely destroys any more chances of reconciliation with his former teammates and sister.

Ray’s been caught trying to save his son, and Chen knows exactly how to reveal a mermaid in disguise.

A Lloyd caring for a Kai cat.

I would really like to see how @crystalgirl259 will make Lloyd love Kai in his cat form.
