#the bequeathing ceremony... makes me SO EMO

[fisherrprince]

Do you have any other things with that Ninjago KH AU? It looks really cool!

OH BOY… WELL

I have a fanfic I started… and then never finished! aha… well, it be like that sometimes. You know, I might as well link to the whole google doc I have on it, because it’s super weirdly messy and incomplete, but there are some things I’m really fond of about it! Like, I have a scene where Kai cuts Lloyd’s hair. I like that part. The first chapter is in there, but the one I published is edited – that was just my first pass. 

Here’s a clip that makes me soft :>

—

“I can’t actually do the ceremony, you’ll have to ask Master Wu about it, but,” Kai draws himself and a deep breath upright, and summons his keyblade, holding it out with two hands. He closes his eyes. 

“In your hand, take this key,” he says. Lloyd does, reverently, fingers just brushing the guard and lifting it gently out of Kai’s hands as if he’ll be told to let go at any moment. “So long as you have the makings, then through this simple act of taking…its wielder you shall one day be. And you will find me, friend — no ocean will contain you then. No more borders around, or below, or above, so long as you champion the ones you love.”

Lloyd blinks up at Kai as his eyes slowly open, taken aback. 

He rubs at the back of his neck. “It’s a bequeathing, it’s kind of a ceremony to bestow you with a keyblade, if you met a Master willing enough. But from me… it’s more of a good luck charm. And a promise, I think. Okay?”

Lloyd nods, his throat constricting despite his attempts to stop it. The keyblade vanishes from his hands in a scatter of soft flames, and Kai takes a knee in front of him, impossibly gentle, the hands on his shoulders and they are the warmest any hands have ever been.

“One day,” Kai says softly, “your light will outshine us all. I know it.”
