Summary: Nya convinces Morro to pose as his past self in the fight against the Hands of Time, even though by then, he would be dead.
Warnings: Violence.
Prompts: Time/Past.
Morrotober Day Twenty-Five
Morro would have been content to stow away in the enormous mech for as long as it took for the Hands of Time to go back to the present, but Nya dragged him out of their hiding place. "Come on!" she hissed. "We've got to go!"
He couldn't protest. Nya and Kai helped Wu climb out, Morro following a few steps behind. Outside the monastery's walls, they put distance between themselves and the Iron Doom as Acronix and Krux waged their attack on the Elemental Alliance of the past.
They huddled just outside the walls. "What are we going to do?" Kai whispered. "We can't change the past!"
"Why not?" said Morro. "The Hands of Time are doing plenty of that."
Wu mumbled something incoherent. Morro tried not to look at him.
"Yeah, and they're causing all sorts of problems!" Nya crossed her arms. "If we change anything here, it could change the future–our present–and make us not even exist anymore. How do we stop the Hands of Time without even showing our faces?"
Kai looked at Morro. "What?" Morro said with a glare. He glanced at Nya only to find that she was looking at him with the same enlightened expression, as if she realized something that could rewrite history in their favor. He didn't like it from either of them.
"The hell are you looking at?" Morro snapped.
"We're not from this time," Nya said, "but you are."
His stomach lurched. "I'm not," he said. "By the time the Serpentine War ended, I was already dead."
"Past Wu doesn't know that," Kai said. "Actually, when you first showed up as a ghost, he didn't know you were dead, either–maybe this would explain why!"
Morro took a step back and looked helplessly at the Wu of their time, who had fallen unconscious again and was no help. "So you want me to lie to him?" he said, his voice shaking. "Make him think I'm fine when actually I'm rotting alone in a cave?"
"I know it's asking a lot," Nya said, "but what else can we do? If we go, they won't recognize us, but they know the masters of fire and water are supposed to be other people. It has to be you."
"Fuck this," Morro said. "Maybe the timeline is better off ruined."
"Morro, please."
He already knew he had no other choice; the desperation in Nya's voice only confirms it. "Fine!" he shouted, and jumped into the air without giving them time to respond, the wind carrying him over the monastery walls.
He threw himself into the battle without making eye contact with anyone else. The Vermilion Warriors fell apart in the vortex he summoned. He forced the snakes away from each other, preventing them from reforming, and hoped the Elemental Alliance would realize what he was doing and follow his example.
"Morro!"
Wu's cry felt like a knife in his gut.
Morro ignored him and slammed a tornado down into the next enemy. It took a moment before he realized it had been the last–there were no more Vermilion to fight, and nothing to distract from Wu running up to him, out of breath and his cheeks flushed.
"Morro," he said, his eyes wide. "You came back!"
"Temporarily," Morro snapped. He took a step away. "You have other problems to deal with."
Wu glanced up at the Iron Doom, which was eerily silent. "Morro, I–I didn't know if I'd ever see you again! I'm so glad you're alright, I–"
"Shut up!"
He flinched back. Morro gritted his teeth and turned away. "I'm not coming back," he said. "I left for a reason, and–and I'm only here now because I hate these idiots more than you. As soon as they're dealt with–"
Wu grabbed his shoulder and spun him around. Morro sputtered and pulled back. "Don't fucking touch me!"
"You should be older," Wu said.
Morro went stiff. He couldn't answer.
"When you left–" Wu's voice trembled. "You left so long ago, and–you hardly look older than a teenager. You should be nearly thirty."
"Who says I'm not?" Morro said, but there was no conviction in his voice.
Wu spoke almost too quietly to hear. "What happened to you?"
Anger erupted within him.
"You have no idea," he said. "You have no fucking idea! You have this fantasy that I–I left, and I found my own path, or whatever the hell you think, but I–" Morro clenched his fists. "–I've already been dead for a decade!"
He couldn't look at the horror on Wu's face. Morro turned away. "You never came looking for me," he spat. "At least, you never found me. My body still lies where I died, alone, cursing you with my last breath."
It was a lie, chosen because he knew it would hurt. Alone in the cave, struggling to breathe poisonous air, Morro begged for Master Wu to save him. He pleaded with the visions dancing in front of his eyes–I was wrong, Master, I'm sorry, Master, I want to come home, Master, please–
"Morro!"
The machine grabbed him by the waist and flipped him upside down in the air. He shrieked, struggled–no use. The Iron Doom brought him up to its head, and with a flick of its wrist, threw him out over the side of the mountain. As he fell, he saw it disappear through a portal like the one that had brought them there, traveling to another time.
Stupid, Morro thought, covering his face and sobbing into his hands. Stupid, stupid. He could control the wind, why didn't he tell it to carry him? Why didn't he tell it to save him? He was going to hit the ground and die, again, and this time the future died with him.
He crashed into Nya's arms.
"Hey," she said, sitting up between her and Kai on the dragon. "Stop wailing, you're embarrassing yourself."
"I don't care!" Morro shouted. "I failed! We all failed!"
"It's okay," Nya said. She held up the Reversal Blade, already crackling with power. "We all get a second chance."

October 16: Angel | Lullaby
@morrotober​
Tumblr media
Based off @emisnt2 's green cousins sun and moon AU, BUUUUUT it's solely focused on Morro’s origins first before the in-timeline mentions of their divinity. I decided to also draw something for it.
Here's the fanfic: AO3 Link
Some rambling and other stuff are under the cut!
AFTER ALL THESE YEARS. I'VE FINALLY FINISHED IT. I decided to end it in the worst possible way than the more depressing undertones of the fic. I think I can write it in another prompt, because this one has gotten WAY too long for me to tame and beta, so you're getting it not beta-read. If I do have motivation I’d probably beta-read and proofread some of it but you’re getting it the way you’re getting it. I’m tired and I want to move on.
By the way the drawing doesn’t show the clothes emi’s made for him because 1) he went through a traumatizing event. I don’t think he can wear garments as elaborate as that. 2) He literally just died 3) he was still mortal before Wu intervened and gave him spectacular clothing. By the way the person hugging him is Wu. you can guess what he’s currently sobbing about.
I maaay have accidentally veered off the prompts just a little, but... it's still THERE, specifically the Angel tidbit. I am so sorry lmao you're getting a story where 4k words of the ending that was hastily not actually the real ending of the tale was written today. However this also means I'm free and I can write about other prompts. Oh thank goodness.
Also I checked the word count and I almost got a heart attack. THAT IS 15K WORDS. YOU BETTER BLOW IT UP. I REALLY DIDN’T EXPECT TO WRITE THIS LONG FOR A PROMPT. This was only supposed to be a prompt what have i done...
Morro’s origins are inspired by a Ket folktale from Siberia about the Sun Maiden and the Crescent Moon. It's a very depressing and sad story about a sun Maiden falling in love with a mortal boy but... now we're just going through spoiler territory over what happened to Morro, hm? I haven't found any detailed summary of the tale (which is good), but there are books about it and other Siberian folktales! The summary I used was Overly Sarcastic Production's video with the same name. Really good stuff by the way I recommend.
Reference picture (i didn’t trace) is here!

@morrotober day 4: Childhood | Orphans
Sorry for not uploading this sooner! I actually did finish this on day 4 but kept procrastinating to upload it, I'm just lazy lol
I find it so intriguing that the green cousins started from seemingly different paths which are actually the same, but ended on different paths. One child thought to have found saviour in the light, but was turned to the dark. The other wanted to walk along the shadows, but was casted into light. All by destiny. All by fate. 50 years apart.
All victims of chance.

Here it is, my part of a Morrotober collab with @ghostlywispz!!
It’s a little Happy Family AU fanfic, where Morro gets dragged into playing a game with Kai, Nya and Lar. They drew a piece for it, which you can see here! (It’s so cute! <333) 
A lil snippet:
---
Tap, tap, tap.
“Morro!”
Tap tap tap.
“Mooorrrooooo!”
Taptaptaptaptaptapta-
In the blink of an eye, Morro grabbed the ‘blade’ of the foam sword Lar was tapping him with, shooting the little boy a sour look. Lar merely giggled, not intimidated by the ghost teen in the slightest.
“Come play, Morro!” he exclaimed jovially, attempting to tug his toy from Morro’s grip. “Help me an’ Kai fight Nya!”
“I don’t want to,” Morro said with a roll of his eyes. He let go of the sword - causing Lar to fall backwards into a sitting position, dropping the sword with a surprised “Oof!” - and returned his arms to resting behind his head. He had been enjoying the sun, laying on a picnic blanket outside. Not his first choice of places to be, but the adults would be upset with him if he were to go inside instead.
Wu had gone with Zane to get some groceries. Ray was helping his mother with something Morro didn’t care to remember. And Maya had just gone inside a few minutes ago to answer the phone, probably speaking with a customer. So, the responsibility of watching the kids play outside fell on his reluctant shoulders. He didn’t understand why , it was safe out here. And besides, Kai was eight. He could look out for himself, and his siblings too. Why did Morro have to?
“Pleeeeease?” Lar begged, getting back on his feet. “We really really want you to!”
“No, you don’t,” Morro replied, staring up at the clear blue sky. Lar’s little blonde head suddenly popped into sight, blocking his view as the boy leaned over the ghost. He giggled again, surely knowing he was being just a bit annoying.
“We do! We want you t' be a pirate! Yarrrr!”

Summary: While in a shaky truce with the ninja, Morro panics on a boat and possesses the closest body. He regrets this instantly.
Warnings: None.
Prompts: Regrets.
Morrotober: Day Twenty-Three
He acted in fear and didn't stop to think, but when Morro realized whose body he had possessed, he regretted it instantly.
The other ninja acted at once. Morro was surrounded, their weapons pointed at him even though he knew they would never risk harming his borrowed body. He panicked and prepared to fight. Nya pushed his mind aside and took control.
"Chill, guys," she said, holding up her hands. "It's still me. He isn't trying anything."
"You sure?" Jay squeaked, but he relaxed, just a little. Cole and Zane glanced at each other, and Kai slowly lowered his sword.
"I'm sure," said Nya. "Give him a chance to calm down."
"He's not getting a chance," Lloyd said, his voice tense. "We had an agreement, and he broke it. We all know what that means."
He did. If Morro ever possessed one of them again, their uneasy truce would end, and Morro would be banished back to the Cursed Realm. The idea terrified him. If he went back there, the Preeminent knowing full well he had betrayed her–
"He knows he messed up bad," Nya said. "We'll talk to him once we're off the boat, but I'm not sending him back for one mistake."
Lloyd raised his voice. "This isn't just a mistake!"
"What this is–" Nya held up a finger. "–is strike one. Two more and he's out of the game. Got that, ghostie?"
Morro couldn't answer, his mind filled with fear. He lunged for control inside Nya's mind, but in his panic, he couldn't keep hold of it. Nya grimaced.
Kai had his sword back up in an instant. "What's he doing?"
"Calm down," Nya snapped. "I told you, he's freaking out. I'll give him a few minutes to chill out."
Lloyd hissed air through his teeth. "Fine," he said. "Strike one. There better not be a strike two."
He sheathed his sword and went to the edge of the Bounty, putting his arms on the rail and staring out at sea. Nya followed his gaze, and Morro looked through her eyes at the water surrounding them and started to panic–
Nya went below deck.
Once the water was out of sight, Nya sighed and rubbed her temples. "A few minutes," she repeated. "Tell me when you can be presentable."
Morro still didn't have words, all he knew was that the ninja would banish him, the Cursed Realm called him, and he was going back there–
"Calm down," Nya said. "You won't go back just because you panicked." She went to her room and sat down on the bed. "Stop freaking out. We'll be off the boat soon."
She kept talking in a steady voice until Morro pulled himself together. When he dropped the possession, he sat on the bed and turned his back to her. He expected some sarcastic remark, but Nya didn't comment, and they sat there in silence until they could get off the boat.
