Wilted... πππ
A.k.a an attempt at writing dysfunctional Lloyd & Misako content π€£.
This takes place some time after Prime Empire. The ninja begin noticing that Lloyd's been acting a little off for the past few days, and he's a lot more distant than usual. Nya immediately assumes that he's hiding the fact he's sick or something but when she checks on him, she soon realizes that he isn't. Kai and Cole try talking to him as well, but Lloyd keeps assuring them that he's fineβthat he's just tired and every other unbelievable excuse in the book. Jay suggests to the others that the kid might've had a secret break up that none of them know about, while Zane & Pixal decide to do some detective work.
Eventually, it spirals into Lloyd actually losing control of his powers β something that really takes the team by surprise because this hasn't happened ever since Lloyd was literally a child. (It's kind of like what happened to Nya in the beginning of Seabound, but just replace Water with Energy) That means flickering lights, breaking bulbs, exploding toasters, blowing up transformers and Lloyd himself being more exhausted than ever because most of his power is unintentionally being used in excess. It's around this time everyone realizes that there's something seriously wrong.
Of course, when they ask green bean about it, Lloyd keeps denying it and says that maybe it's because he hasn't been training with his powers that much recently. Everyone around him knows that's pure bull, because 1) how on Earth does an Elemental Master who spent years mastering their element suddenly forget how to control it, and 2) it's Lloyd talking. Even Wu's already had enough with his nephew at this point, and sternly tells him to stop playing games with the team because this was clearly serious. There's even a moment when Wu loses his patience by threatening to strip him of his element with Chronosteel if he doesn't explain at all, but Lloyd still doesn't tell him.
However, the ninja really have to do something about his powers blowing up every nearest electrical appliance so they make the decision to put a vengestone bracelet around his wrist that he himself can't remove. This pisses Lloyd off so much, but at the end of the day, it was definitely necessary. And considering that green bean's still not saying anything, it's gonna be a long time until they'll take it off because they can't solve his issue right now.
So this goes on for a while until Nya suggests something that just might work; finding Neuro. (Honestly, you would've thought this would be the first thing they would've thought off) The ninja and Wu waste no time doing this, and soon, they find out what's going on.
Needless to say, it's something that is definitely the most unexpected, but at the same time, it's not surprising.
So apparently Lloyd has some unresolved abandonment issues with Misako which have recently worsened for reasons they do not know yet. And yeah...she isn't here right now either.
Kai & the others aren't really happy with Misako after finding out about this, while Wu is kind of in denial because he thinks Misako's been quite present after reuniting with Lloyd in the museum. It takes him a while to realize that the answer is actually... no, just no.
So unbeknownst to Lloyd, the ninja & Wu start trying to get hold of Misako to get her to come back to the monastery. That's easier said than done by the way, but after a while, they manage to do it. They don't tell her about what they found out from Neuro though.
As for Lloyd, he's like really surprised that his mother finally came home after like...(2 seasons) And he's also not stupid either. They all know β that's why she's here β it's as simple as that. The ninja don't admit it when Lloyd confronts them, which frustrates him. Thankfully, Wu interrupts the argument and tells Lloyd to make the most out of what his friends have done for him by finding Misako, and leaves. Lloyd utterly hates that.
Then the next few days are literally just the ninja trying to set up Lloyd with his mother. (Imagine your friends setting you up despite your protests, but instead of a date, it's bonding time with your parent) This goes on for like multiple chapters until Lloyd's powers go back to normal, and him and Misako have a relationship as close as the one he had with Garmadon.
And that's literally the wip.
Basically what if current Lloyd meets baby him. Logic is a foreign concept, you have been warned.
Lloyd to his younger self : What on Earth possessed you to get that haircut?
Younger Lloyd : What on Earth possessed you to look like this? Did you fill in your eyebrows or something?
Lloyd : uh, noβ
Younger Lloyd cuts him off : and why are your eyes green anyway? Did you put contacts on because you disowned dad? Are...are you ashamed of dad?
Lloyd : .....
Younger Lloyd crosses his arms : Well?
Lloyd : I β I β
Younger Lloyd : yeah, you what?
Lloyd, literally about to break down sobbing : He disowned me!
This was funnier in my head lol.
How does Hellspawn handle the idea of her dad dating?
Harumi? Horribly. That woman could drown in Great Devourer bile for all she cared. Akita? She's cool. Great temporary therapist for her dad but Lloyd doubts he'll see her again.
But the idea of her dad dating? It's...weird to be honest. Two of her teachers seem like they have a crush on him and she's really hoping he doesn't ever date them. That, and she can never really understand what people see in him. He's just normal???
(Lloyd didn't quite enjoy that comment so Kai used it as an excuse to get him to get more sleep)
Iβd honestly love it if throughout the new season, the entire βCrystal Kingβ character is built up by everyone to be the most powerfully corrupt, dangerously despicable form of evil the ninja have yet to face, and thereβs practically no chance of defeating himβ¦
Only for Oni/Evil/Corrupted/Whatever new version of Lloyd to completely Oh-Koh him in one shot without breaking a sweat while heβs in the middle of his evil speech of something, and suddenly the rest of the team realize who the real final boss is.

Or; Lloyd accidentally creates a kid before s3 and ends up balancing both the life of a ninja and raises a mini him through the seasons.
Ninjago AU where everything is the same, but Christofern is not a fern.
an underwordly visit for the wip thing?
An unfinished fic written from pre-pilot Garmadon's pov (after he was banished, of course) and it's just him having a seemingly normal day in the Underworld only for a portal to suddenly open up and spit out two unconscious strangers at his feet.
....yeah. π
One of them is none other than our resident Green Ninja β who Garmadon suspects is a student his brother recruited and sent to the Underworld to challenge him, while the other one is a girl around the Green Ninja's age with the most bleached pinned up hair he's ever seen in his life.
And on top of that, there's also something else lying on the ground; an Oni Mask.
So Garm does the obvious. He snaps at the Skulkin to shove these two in a cage and takes the mask for himself to examine it β it's definitely an Oni mask, alright, but how the heck did these two have it?
Some time passes, and he receives news that one of the prisoners has awakened. Hearing this, Garm wastes no time making his way to the Underworld dungeons, and sees the conscious one is none other than the Green Ninja.
Upon seeing him, Lloyd's eyes go wide. Garm is highly confused at this, and just when he is about to make a sarcastic remark about trespassing, Lloyd calls him Father. That completely takes the King of Shadows by surprise, but it doesn't last long, because the next thing that happens is that Garmadon immediately slaps him.
Garm then starts snarling at him for stooping low enough to masquerade as his son, because 1) he hasn't been banished long enough for him to suddenly have an almost adult son and 2) last time he checked, Lloyd had red eyes, not green. It's only then that Lloyd realizes that he time-traveled.
Unfortunately, when he starts asking Garm what year it is, Garm's only thought is that this ninja's screwing with him β which really pisses off our Dark Lord, by the way. After a while, Lloyd starts getting frustrated himself and Harumi wakes up. Garm's just about to snark something at her as well but goes silent once he sees her reaction to him. She looks excited, as though she's just met her idol. Lloyd gets really irritated seeing this and these two get into an argument with Garmadon confusedly watching.
Inside the cage, Lloyd's basically just putting all the blame on Harumi by accusingly saying that she definitely did something with the mask, and now it's her fault his own father doesn't want to believe he's his son. Harumi's just unfazed at this β because technically, she got to meet Garmadon. This infuriates Lloyd even more, and soon, there's nothing other than yelling coming from the cage.
This goes on until Garm himself steps in and barks at them both to stop. The two go silent β which is an absolute relief to Garmadon's eardrums (who can blame him?). Then, he starts asking who they are, and why they have the mask. Lloyd opens his mouth to once again say he's his son only for Harumi to cut him off by saying who she is.
...and after that, I don't know what to add lol.
This one is one of those time-travel fics I promised I would chuck in the No Parties To Crash So Why Not The Past series β but obviously, there's only one fic currently in that thing β so yeah, this one's still depressingly unfinished at that moment.
The ninja are majestic creatures
When you and the boys all grieve differently
(Reference under cut)
Explanation:
My theory is that Kai starts up βThe Red Shogunβ again (or at least I hc that,) bc thats what happened last time one of the ninja died, it just makes sense to me that thatβs how he copes.
Jay isolates himself, becoming depressed and doesnt do basic self care (showering, shaving, sleeping etc.) and grows farther apart from his friends and family.
Lloydβ¦ well, I think we all know whatβs going on there.
Harumi, take notes π
I started therapy today and I get into how my parents died and he says, βlet me guess, great devourer?β
He was right but he didnβt HAVE to say it
Screaming, crying and throwing up π₯Ή
Lloyd and Lord G are my coping mechanism. I'm also on FFNet and AO3 And yeah, I can't draw.
