  1. Summary

    “Every path begins with something ordinary: a choice, a mistake, a moment where someone finds themselves somewhere they were never supposed to be.”
    — Sensei Wu


     

    Long before they became legends, they were just people trying to do the right thing.

    Ninjago: Reimagined is an alternate-universe retelling of the Ninjago saga, rebuilding the story from the ground up while preserving the characters, themes, and spirit that made the original series special.

    Rather than continuing canon, this is a new interpretation of the world of Ninjago — one where every victory has a cost, every sacrifice leaves a lasting mark, and every season builds upon the choices that came before.

    As kingdoms rise and fall, old wounds refuse to heal, and new generations inherit the consequences of the past, the ninja discover that protecting Ninjago isn't about winning every battle.

    It's about choosing, time and again, to stand back up when the world gives them every reason not to.

  2. Summary

    Before the silence of space, before the Bounty-II, before the Infection had a name, there were children growing up beneath fluorescent lights and impossible expectations.

    Raised within the Space Protector Program, the next generation of cadets spend their childhood chasing dreams through crowded hangars, training halls, and artificial gardens built to soften a world of steel. Friendships form in maintenance tunnels and classrooms. Rivalries bloom beside launchpads. Small moments—bike rides, bruised knuckles, whispered fears, flowers tucked into metal corners—quietly shape the people they will become.

    But even during the safest years of the station, something is wrong beneath the surface.

    Wired Wildflowers is a character-driven prequel anthology to Shadows Among Stars, following the childhood and early teenage years of the future Bounty-II crew and those around them. Through bittersweet friendships, quiet tragedies, and the slow loss of innocence, the series explores how love, fear, grief, and loyalty shaped the generation that would one day be sent into the dark.

  3. Summary

    The galaxy isn’t as vast as it seems—sometimes the most dangerous threats come from within.

    Seven young cadets were chosen to be the protectors of space, a rite of passage meant to test their skills, their instincts, and their bonds. But the mission they thought would define them becomes a nightmare they could never anticipate.

    An infection spreads quietly through their ship, twisting systems, minds, and loyalties. Every choice ripples forward—one decision can save a life or doom the crew entirely. There are no clear answers, no easy victories. Loyalty clashes with survival, hope with despair, and only one thing is certain: the universe doesn’t forgive mistakes.

    Shadows Among Stars is a dark, character-driven space AU where every heartbeat, every whispered secret, and every split-second decision carries consequences that will echo across the void.

    Summary

    “I did not believe you would miss me. I did not believe any of you would miss me. I was simply fulfilling the purpose I was created to do. There would be no need to mourn that. After all…”

    The next five words that exit Zane’s mouth would haunt Kai for months, especially after everything that would happen in the Never-Realm.

    “…I am just a machine.”

    Summary

    The four Weapons of Spinjitzu were supposed to be found by the Elemental Masters of Ice, Fire, Earth, and Lightning. Under the guidance of their Master, they would have found the Green Ninja. Then, he should have defeated the Overlord in the Final Battle. Unfortunately, destiny has a different plan. One that leaves everyone to wonder...

    How can the Ninja defeat the Overlord if he has already won?

    ----------------------------------------------------

    Sorta Zombie Apocalypse AU where the Overlord invasion happened before the pilots so none of the Ninja are Ninja or know they're Elemental Masters and because fate has a sense of humour they all find each other and form a little group of survivors.

    Summary

    Windward is a relatively quiet town on the Canadian coast. Nothing interesting or newsworthy really happens there, except the occasional hurricane and holidays. Or at least nothing that the general public is aware of. It's late spring, and a freak earthquake has just kick-started a chain of events that will bring six teens together and thrust them into adventures beyond all imagining. Nothing is off the table and no one can say what's next, but one thing is for sure: Windward will never be the same again.

    Featuring a giant octopus mech, crystals of a most peculiar nature and teenagers who are prone to unwise decisions. What could go wrong?

    No knowledge of Octonauts is required to enjoy this fic. It can be read as an original story.

    Summary

    Both teams stood apart, facing one another, while the roars of the dragon began to die down inside the cave. It echoed from within the fissure, a dark hostile line scored through the earth, warning each ninja to stay on their own side.

    Skylor was the first to speak. "This isn't over. We still want that scythe."

    The red ninja, Kai, scoffed. "I'd like to see you try and take it from us."

    "We'll let you go this time," said the black ninja. The lower half of his mask was stained and Skylor could see a bit of red smeared in the gap under his eyes. She felt a twinge of satisfaction. "But this is a warning," he continued. "If you cross us again, we won't go easy on you."

    ~ * ~

    Dark Sides is a Role Reversal AU series in which Wu was bitten by the Great Devourer instead of Garmadon. Wu still ends up training Kai, Jay, Zane, and Cole as his students. In response, Sensei Garmadon trains Nya, Pixal, Seliel, and Skylor (all elemental masters), and both sides are pitted against each other.
