Summary
The frayed rope was the only thing keeping them from falling. But as it snapped, both Kai and Jay fell, their only hope falling with them.
Wind whipped through his hair as he fell from the bounty, the sky illuminated with every lightning strike. Voices called out, screaming both ninja’s names. There was no way they would be found if they survived.
Putting aside their differences, Kai and Jay must survive together while lost in the forest—no matter the costs.

Icarus Never had the Wind behind Him by Hiraeth_eyed

Summary
“Lord Garmadon will return”
“And we’ll be ready for him”
“Come find me when that happens, I’ll be there”
What if Kai never became a ninja? What if everyone else followed script, not realizing there was a thread out of place? What happens when an old ghost finds a new purpose for that thread.
And what happens when that thread choses to weave its own fate instead?
(A Kai antihero/villain fic in which he stuck to his original convictions and didn’t ever truly become a ninja. Morro comes along and finds an explosive amount of potential in what he believes is a kindred and powerful spirit. Chaos ensues. A lot of mess and explored dynamics, along with a healthy dose of nuancing current character point I either felt were under-discussed or thought would be fun additions. Hope you enjoy!)

Summary
So this is a series about Kai, mostly from his perspective, because I was thinking about it and, taking his recklessness, his having raised Nya all on his own from such a young age, and his shitty coping mechanisms into consideration, it seems to me that he is extremely self-destructive, even self-hateful despite the 'cocky' show he puts up, and this is basically looking deeper into that, into what might be going on in his head and behind the scenes and things like that.
Jump on in if this sounds good to you!(and even if it doesn't, just read the damn thing anyway-) the water's great!(and depressing :D)
If you have any requests for particular scenes from this show, you might wanna suggest them because I do not remember enough about this show at all, I just really felt like writing this. Only things about Kai tho, it doesn't necessarily have to be from his POV but it has to be mostly related to him since he's the focus of this.

Shadows of Fire by Kai_Ankoshin
Fandoms: LEGO Ninjago (Cartoon 2011-2022), LEGO Monkie Kid
30 Jul 2024
Tags
Summary
Bassically, Kai runs away after the Tournament of Elements. After a few days, they end up in Megapolis. They get a job at the noodle shop across from Pigsy's Noodles. His boss forces him to take a break on a day where he forgot his OCD meds. He decides to go eat at Pigsy Noodles. They get pulled into shenanigans, gets shadow powers and ends up meeting Macaque at some point, falls in love with a certain noodle boy, becomes monkie man, gets even more trauma than they started out with, and nearly watched their crush/eventually boyfriend almost die multiple times. Also at some point the ninja come to bring Kai back to ninjago, but that's a whole other can of worms I'm not even close to writing yet.
cross-fic on Wattpad, but I no longer am posting on Wattpad. Kai is also a demiboy(he/they pronouns) in this because I said so.

Summary
Kai gets transported through time to the 21st century and wakes up in the middle of a stormy beach, nowhere near his home, but familiar in the least. Familiar and yet so different. Kai used to live near the stars, a Celestial with a home.
Though he's unsure where home is.
His memories are jumbled up, unsure whether they're lies or some cruel joke his father played to teach him a lesson.
Riding on the string of his only clear memory, Kai believes humans are still at war with Celestials. He then meets a little girl he knows he's met before, a distant relative perhaps? Kai also becomes acquainted with four other boys as a result of his poor attempt to steal food.
They soon become his family and maybe something more.
Kai doesn't know his home anymore, doesn't know who he even is anymore.
So the six children work together to help figure out where Kai's from because family helps family.
But he couldn't possibly have a family; they weren't his home. But then again, where exactly was his home?
Home. Where is it?

Summary
He raised up to Kai, clutching both robes that dragged down his naked shoulders, then halting midway. “You need to learn how to forget.” Forget nobodies.
“Forget?” Kai huffed. “You’re one to talk.”
He scowled. The Green Ninja is the only thing for him, the only way to prove himself worthy. Without that, Morro would be nothing. But even if Kai becomes worthless—or lose his friends, sister, or her, even if he becomes nothing or lose everything, he’d always be the same boy he grieved with. He’ll always mean something to Morro.
Even so, if he still longs for her despite…
“Am I only a ghost to you?” Morro said.
A story of the cursed general who was searching for vengeance upon his name, but gets distracted—very distracted during the mission.

But things aren't always what they seem, and when the cameras aren't around, life for Kai and Lloyd is a living hell. All they want to do is survive, but Cole, Jay, and Zane aren't making it easy. Ever since Lloyd was chosen over him as the green ninja, Cole is cruel and controlling, and not even Wu can stop the damage he's doing.
