I would just like to dedicate this story to the loving memory of Kirby Morrow. He has always been such an amazing inspiration and remodel for me as I grew up really idolizing his work and talent. His voice alone was such a big part of my childhood. He was also just an outstanding personality. My heart goes out to all his close loved ones, family and friends, and I can only wish them the best. The impact Kirby Morrow left on all of us can never be filled but it can be treasured. And I think I speak for the entire community here when I say I will always treasure what Kirby Morrow has given us. He brought beautiful lessons and stories to life through his stunning work on many shows lots of kids like myself grew up with and hold close to heart. Thank you Kirby Morrow, for all the laughs and all the adventures. "Ninja never quit, and ninja will never be forgotten."

♡IMPORTANT - warnings, potential triggers, and general world info! Important bits are underlined or bolded for your skimming convenience!♡
♡ If you're not caught up with the Ninjago series, at the time I'm writing this, summer of 2020, season 13 just finished so I will be building off that time line! There will be spoilers if you haven't seen it so fair warning!
♡ Ok so, how old are the ninja? From what I've seen, this has never been officially answered, even the voice actors don't really know (though it was mentioned by some of the VAs, that in the beginning, their scripts said the ninja were in their late teens.). Personally, I've always seen them as young adults, but, considering how much time has passed, I actually think they were pretty young starting out! Like maybe the majority was around 14 years old? Either way, right now, I will be writing everyone in this story as an adult for the sake of my own story and the content that will be featured. Each character will be at least 18 and the main cast in their mid/late 20s! This is an x reader, so the same goes for the reader's character.
♡ As for full names, we know everyone's except for Cole's officially- I think. Cole is going to be a major character in this story so I'd like to make clear the last name I'll be using for him. For whatever reason this is also heavily debated?? The only last names I can find are fanmade and the most popular ones I can see are Blacksmith, Brookstone, and Hence. I'll be using Brookstone for Cole just because I think it sounds the coolest.
♡ This story will also be featuring some LGTBQ+ characters and interactions amongst my OCs! (Not any original Ninjago characters) This story is written with pride and this account is LGBTQ+ friendly! Any and all hate comments will just be reported, ignored, and deleted.
♡ I am an old lady myself and I did rate this story as mature! However this is only because of the limited cursing and violence! But I will include themes of emotional and physical abuse as well as the use of alcohol. There will be mentions of blood as well but I do not do gore or extreme violence. If you think any of this can be triggering to you, I have some reading lists of other Ninjago stories/fanfiction I really enjoyed that vary and may be a safer read for your preferences- so feel free to take a peek at those anytime!

I know the show is still ongoing and coming out with new content, so things may change! That's why I wanted to make the timing clear. And there's some things I might just get wrong about the Ninjago universe, but this is just a random fanfiction. Its weird that this needs to be said but this is ONLY MY FANFICTION. Again, A FANFICTION. It's my own interpretation and ideas for this universe so don't take everything I write here as Ninjago gospel or something.
And with that, I hope this somehow becomes a fun and engaging story for any readers! This is my first ever x reader! It's been a fun little project that I've been working on in my spare time for a while now, and I'm excited to see where it goes as I continue experimenting with my writing. All comments and likes are appreciated; from one humble beginning writer, thank you for your time!
♡ Thank you for reading this far if you have and I hope you enjoy the story! ♡
