Dork Squad, Assemble by ShinyShiny9 reviews
Backstory for the characters from the Ninjago Movie, because nobody's gonna explain it if the fandom doesn't. Also intensive post-movie cleanup, because that's important! Updates very infrequent; rating is high end of T for some heavier thematic content. Newest chapter: Epilogue!

Little Raindrops by evelinaonline reviews

Bruise shipping. Cole/Jay. Show canon. Set immediately following the snippet we got from the teaser for season 8. Basically Cole and Jay right after they're chased out of the monastery. It's going to be at least a two-shot...possible three. Depends on how it goes. Hope you enjoy! (Might mature in the near future if anything more happens...)

Ice Butterfly by razena reviews
It wasn't enough to prepare him for the pain that exploded throughout his body the split second his artificial skin touched the golden metal. The pain was so sudden, unexpected and fierce, so intense and so darn painful that he almost let go. But he steeled himself forcing himself to ignore the searing pain and lifted himself higher as he found himself staring at evil...(OLD WORK)

Luckily for him, his best friend Jay is more than eager to support him. This is just a fluffy, mildly angsty one-shot for the best bromance in Ninjago.
