Top Five Favorite Fics I've Written

5. Max Tennyson: A Grandfather, Not A Father

This fic explores different time periods in Max's life and his struggle with family.

If I'm being honest, I don't like the second half of this fic. But I absolutely adore the first half with Max's feelings about being a single father.

4. Interview for [Classified]

Max, Gwen, and Kevin interview for the position of Ben's new partner.

My first dip into the Ben 10 fandom. It was my most popular fic for a long time too. I'm not sure how I did it but this is still one of the more popular ones.

3. Stumbling Across the Finishing Line / Green Is Your Color

Ben is apprehensive about warming up to Rook, despite Rook's best efforts.

Rook doesn't understand why Ben loves Gwen and Kevin, even after they abandoned him.

A tie! I love exploring Ben and Rook's budding relationship. I wish it had stayed that as interesting after season 1.

2. Truce

Kevin visits his mother on Mother's Day at her request, but has a lot of second thoughts.

The drafting and writing for this one came so naturally, the feeling was euphoric. It felt like I had really found a way of writing I adored. (lots of introspection with minimal dialog lol) Although this one is not very popular, it was one of my favorites to write.

Rebuilding Bridges

After the events of Ben 10,000, Ben 10,000 must take the next steps alone.

The period between the end of canon and Ben 10,000 always fascinates me. I love thinking of Ben 10,000 headcanons. I hope someday we see him again (but I'm not holding my breath for the Dynamite Comic).

A rushed little drawing I did of omniverse ben ( I'm more of an uaf person so I rarely draw him)

[cherryvampiro]

My take on an alternate universe Ben 10 where he doesn't get the Omnitrix till he's in his mid 20s 🛸🖤⚡💚⏱️🩵🔮

Gwen's powers also manifest late due to childhood repression & Kevin is a mutant (no an alien genetics)

I also made one original alien! His alien's fighting style would be slap stick cartoon humor 🍳🐵🛸

For anyone curious on their ethnicity of the Tennysons: Sandra's Cuban & Natalie Jamaican 🌈

I doodled this after seeing Ben 10 UA episode "Basic Training"

Im pretty sure Kevin told this story to Rook. He HAD to

One of the aspects of the very first season of Ninjago that is so fascinating to me is how it separates the main character from the hero.

Our five main characters (yes, I'm including Nya in here even if she's more or less ignored at the beginning) all have to come to terms with the fact that they aren't the hero. They have to accept their individual identity and group role as the protectors of the hero... who ends up being the initial antagonist of the season, Lloyd Garmadon.

I think that's such an interesting dynamic- realizing that you aren't the person at the center of a grand prophecy and letting go of your dreams in order to be part of something bigger and greater than you alone.

And this continues into Season 2. Yes, Lloyd does get more focus than Season 1 (where he was mostly an off-screen prisoner), but I wouldn't say he is the main character of Season 2. Often, and especially at the beginning, the episodes don't really focus on him- they focus on the other ninja learning to train him properly. The main characters from the first season frequently get the episode's arc, while Lloyd is their goal.

And this continues through the finale of the Season. The entire final battle, Lloyd is fighting to stay with his friends... until they realize that it's their responsibility to push him forward, not stay by his side. The ninja are the ones making the choice to get Lloyd to the top of the tower, and he has to learn from their decisions and accept his destiny, rather than making that decision on his own.

This continues through Season 7. Lloyd does get some character development (such as his leadership arc in Hands of Time) but he's never the one saving the day. That falls to Zane in 3, Kai and Garmadon in 4, Nya in 5, Jay in 6, Cole in DotD, and Nya and Kai in 7. Lloyd fulfilled his destiny (to save his father) and now he's just... part of the team. He doesn't have to save the day anymore. He can be backup support to the others, just like they were backup support to him.

I like the Ken and Charmcaster ship mainly because it's funny to imagine Gwen being mad as hell about it but she can't say anything because she did the same thing when she started dating Kevin.

[aconfusedspoon]

Gwen, about Ken dating Charmcaster: I can't believe it! Does the pain I've been put through at the hands of my enemies mean nothing to my own family?

Ben, with the most monotone voice he can master: sheesh can't imagine how that feels-
