    Summary

    “What if we just…sued Harumi,” Cole says. “Like, there’s gotta be some law that could work in our favor here.”

    “I don’t think the court would go for that,” Lloyd mutters. “Since they’re all morally corrupt frauds who hate us.”

    “Yeah! Down with the system!” Kai punches his fist in the air. 

    Post-Crystalized — after surviving apocalypse no. 2 (possibly 3, currently under debate) the ninja now face the unspeakable horrors of budgeting.

    Summary

    Kai can’t help but feel like he isn’t doing enough.

    All the money his team is working so hard for is going towards keeping a roof over their heads, and the children’s parties he’s booking just don’t pay enough.

    So, to try and alleviate some of the stress from everybody else, Kai has made it his responsibility to ensure there’s enough money left over for them to eat.

    (There isn’t enough money. But, really, what’s the harm in a few missed meals?)

    --

    Kai will do anything for his family. Even starve.

    Summary

    When Lloyd had finally gotten a proper look at his friend, his mentor, his older brother, a pit sank in his chest. He eyed Kai, and how in the weeks which had gone by, it was hardly Kai at all. The older male was thinner, significantly so. His face was sunken, dark eyebags and soot decorated his skin, and a fresh scar was apparent on his cheek. Faint, but noticeable. Most prominently, Kai was exhausted.

    Kai also had to grow up quickly, too quickly; with his parents gone at a young age, forced to handle the blacksmith and care for his sister, and then care for Lloyd as a protector, it was all too quick. Kai deserved to be the youngest once in a while, especially in his current condition. At least, just this once.

    Or

    When Kai finally arrives back at the monastery after the Merge, injured and exhausted, Lloyd does his best to take care of him. After all, time has changed them both.

    I NEED to know what happened to my boys

    Call me a siren the way I would take the suffering from you but by take I mean savor it like a jawbreaker and then give you a happy ending

    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.

    Almost brought me to tears

    Too bad I can’t find a good pirating website to watch the seasons I’ve missed + dragons rising I NEED to know what happened to these two (+ everyone else)
