Jay Gordon has spent his life in the shadows, overlooked by his father-a legendary actor adored by the world but absent at home. To everyone around him, Jay wears a flawless mask of charm and happiness, concealing the loneliness and resentment that have shaped him. But when he meets a new girl who sees past his façade, Jay begins to let his guard down, unaware that her kindness hides a purpose. She's searching for the truth about his father's dark past-a past Jay has never fully understood. As their bond deepens, Jay is torn between his growing feelings and the painful secrets she's determined to uncover. When the truth comes to light, Jay must confront the lies that built his family's legacy, even if it means losing the one person who made him feel seen.

Green Guidance | A Ninjago AU
After finally starting to face his Father as the Green Ninja in Battle, Lloyd has to face his most dangerous threat yet: highschool. But maybe after finding the other Elemental Masters he'll finally have the family he longed oh so badly for. Cover art by: xync_zachrome on Twitter/X Additional Notes: Movie verse but some things have changed; Personalities are more show-based I'm making Water an element of creation because I need all the elements to be connected on a deeper level. Mostly Lloyd-centric fic cuz he's my child and I love him very much Lloyds mom abandoned him in this when he was a baby for - at least for Lloyd - unknown reasons (so basically his mom in this is Misako, not koko) Lloyd was raised and homeschooled by Wu, who took him in. Misako probably won't be making an appearance (maybe there will be talk about her tho) Everyone still hates Lloyd 😸 I'm making this up as I go so it'll probably switch from gloomy angst to three puns in a row. :) Canon ships such as Jaya and Pixane will be mentioned but I don't think I'll add any additional relationships Just for future reference here are the ages for the crew: Lloyd: 15 Nya: 16 Jay: 17 Kai: 17 Cole: 18 Zane: (mentally) 18 Pixal: (mentally) 19 Wu: very oldComplete
