Ninjago Movieverse x Show Crossover Fic Recs!!
Fics where Show!Ninja get sent to the movie's Ninjago!
The Grass is Always Greener by Sunnylighter
A little Lloyd trades places with post-movie Lloyd. Now, the Lloyd's have to find their way back to their own Ninjago's, but do either of them really want to? (Completed main fic)
--This one is so cute and silly! It's a part of a greater work with interactions with other author's AUs so you probably have heard of it before!
Same Person, Different Past by Nanadeyo
Inspired by Same People, But Not Really (linked below) Lloyd gets sent from Dragons Rising era to the movie verse! (13 chapters, incomplete)
--I'm a sucker for Dragons Rising Lloyd! The Lloyds swap places! What more ca you ask for!
Fly, Little Dragon, Fly but CrystalEclipse
Lloyd, set during season 5, is chasing Morro through the realms when he gets left in the movie-verse! (Complete)
--I've never seen this premise before, oddly enough, so I was super interested super quickly. I also really liked the idea that this Lloyd is younger, and has a different feel for who he trusts when it comes down to talking to the ninja and who he gets attached to.
It's Me (Version 2-point-0) by lloydskywalker
Lloyd, who just wanted a day off, has his day ruined when he's targeted for an attack. With no one answering their phones, Lloyd is off for a quick trip to meet his movie counterpart!
--I am a big follower of lloydskywalker's works, so if you enjoy this one I can confirm the others are just as well written. It's a one shot, so this is a short read, but it's quite entertaining!
Worst Road Trip Ever by PinkLemonPosset
After using Mystake's Traveler's Tea the ninja and a little Wu get sent to the movie verse instead of the first realm! (4 chapters, incomplete)
--This fic has me laughing so much in the second half! It's funny to see our core four interact through the eyes of M!Zane
the children yearn for the life threatening situations by ItzGlitchy
Set before season 8, when the ninja have split up to find Wu, Nya gets sent to the movie-verse and is immediately thrown for a loop by meeting...Lloyd's mom? (2 chapters, incomplete)
--While it's not as long as the others on this list, I really enjoyed what the author put out! I wish there were more Nya-centric fics in my life.
Find My Place by MagicQuill42
When Aspheera attempts to attack Wu, Zane jumps in front just in time. Except, instead of landing in the Neverrealm he finds himself in an alternate Ninjago but immediately meeting some familiar faces. (12 chapters, incomplete but you could probably read it as complete)
--Zane is honestly my favorite Ninja, so of course I was drawn to this, this story portrays him as such a genuine character. I like his relationship with the teenage ninja while still keeping his devotion to finding a way back home
Begin Again by Beve_Barrington
Post Crystalized, Jay has a weird gut feeling that somethings not quite right, he's on a mission with the ninja and thoroughly distracted. What he wasn't prepared for was to be isekaid at 24 into a world full of doubles and wow, is that kid really him? Doesn't matter, his main goal is to protect his family of this world, and get back to his siblings from his own world. (20 chapters, incomplete)
--I LOVE this fic so much! It has some moments I laughed at, a good heaping of Jay angst, and does a great job of establishing relationships between the characters from the movie with show Jay. I was hooked from the first chapter to the end and was so sad it ended, definitely a highly recommended read!
Same People, But Not Really by KittyDemon9000
Kai is just trying to hang with his baby bro and maybe skip a little training before his day ends disastrously with himself in another Ninjago and no way home. He's left trying to fight his way through high school, something he's never even done before, while clearing his name of suspicion from the younger ninja. This go downhill from there. (29 chapters, incomplete)
--This one is super popular, so I wouldn't be surprised if you've heard of it before! I really enjoyed Kai as his alias Smith Forge and the affects being in a different Ninjago has on him as the story progresses. It's popular for a reason! Due to this, there are also a bunch of fan works, art, and memes that you can enjoy as the story progresses as the author has it all linked!
Shogun: Becoming by NickelWick
Aspheera sends Kai and the scroll of forbidden Spinjitzu to the movie verse! Now, with the effects of the staff haunting him, and a new slew of little ninja and high school, Kai has to find his way back home. (27 chapters, complete)
--This is inspired by Same People, But Not Really (as many of these are!) so there will probably be a few similarities you run into, but it's also well developed into it's own fic. The relationships Kai develops with Lloyd of the movie verse is super enjoyable, as well as the reactions from the other ninja when they realize Kai is trying to form relationships with them. I was hooked from beginning to end.
Cole, now dumped into the movie-verse after a solo mission, has to traverse training much younger versions of his team, find a way back to his family (polyninja shipping), all while staying away from Garmadon.
--I don't ship polyninja, or any of the ninja really, but I love love love this fic! genuinely love the characterization of Cole, the pacing, and the storyline had me so hooked I was upset every time I had to put it down. I'm chronically known for reading long fics is one sitting, but I'm SO glad I got to read this one! (29 chapters, unfinished), fic inspired by Same People, Grass is Always Greener, and Showgun: Becoming
