    Summary

    The first time Cole saw himself in the mirror, he almost didn’t recognize his reflection. Green mist where his face was supposed to be, his skin see-through like a dusty window, even his black gi tainted in an otherworldly glow. He looked in the mirror, and a ghost stared back.
    But in the end, his sacrifice was worth it – they defeated the Preeminent, they exiled the (other) ghosts from Ninjago, and most important of them all, Lloyd was safely back with the team. And with no imminent threat on the horizon, maybe it was time he began his journey to self-acceptance.
    Being a ghost should come with some benefits, after all. Even if sometimes the cons seem to outweigh the pros.
    Even if it feels harder and harder to hold onto his humanity with each passing day.
    Even if the others seem to be forgetting about him a lot more frequently recently.
    -
    Or, an incredibly self-indulgent Day of the Departed rewrite because less than an hour of Ghost Cole Angst wasn’t nearly enough to satisfy me. (And because I like to watch my boy suffer.)

    Summary

    Becoming a ghost wasn't the end. It wasn't some beginning, either. Rather, it was just the next phase of Cole's life. And, sure as the moon in the sky, that comes with ups and downs, forming and fading, waxing and waning.

    Love and loss.

    Some things would never be the same again. The moon wouldn't always shine.

    But he'd never have to face the darker days alone. Not with his family lighting the way.

    Then, when the moon was full, they could enjoy its light together.
