Pool games and chlorine-flavoured kisses turn hot-and-heavy under the City of Angel's starry sky.
Maybe the fading moviestar and the ex-gangster can have a Hollywood ending.

Summary
A sharp coppery tang was heavy in the air, sickeningly familiar as it attacked the back of his throat as his quiet worry only grew stronger. Johnny still hadn’t said a word and Kenshi suddenly had a horrible idea as to why.

Or, Johnny gets injured in a mission and tried to hide it from Kenshi. Spoiler alert, it doesn’t last long. -

He’d been naked on set in front of strangers, and on movie screens in front of even more strangers, but only in front of Kenshi did he genuinely feel stripped bare.

Summary
Y Kenshi lo supo. La vida le sonrió porque se estaba burlando de él. Le presentó dos caminos, la venganza o el amor. Y era una burla, porque tendría que decidir entre cuál escoger y no habría punto de retorno a partir de esa elección; siempre sería humano o la maleza de su interior por fin vería la luz.
O,
donde Kenshi se encuentra a un joven Johnny Cage, ambos son nadie, pero en Kenshi queda tan marcada la memoria de su encuentro que lo usa como un ancla para no perderse a sí mismo en el camino de la Yakuza. Sin embargo, en su recuentro las cosas no salen del todo bien y Kenshi debe tomar una decisión.- Language:

Summary
A What If story for MK1 (2023). The "What-If" of Johnny being a single dad to Cassie during the events of MK1 (You're never going to guess who her other parent is.)
Johnny Cage has made a few mistakes in his time: getting drunk and having a one-night stand while on the outs with Cris (the first time), getting back together with Cris, and Ninja Mime 4. Really, only two of those are real mistakes and one is just a happy accident. The happy accident, the happiest bit of his first mistake, is that the one-night stand turned into his daughter, Cassie. If nothing else, she's a point of pride for Johnny because she's such an awesome kid. Even if he's screwed up everything else in his life, he still has her. He would do anything for her, even give up his prized possession, Sento; he just never expected that he'd have to have that fight. Let alone have it with the only other person who could call Cassie his.

Summary
Honestly, not much to say other than they have me in a chokehold.
Johnny hates his mom, the childhood she gave him and the looks. It definitely wasn't in his books for her to see him today nor for Bi-Han to see the fiasco waiting to unravel.

Summary
"In an ideal world, Kenshi would of kept his vision. Would be the ideal and perfect swordsman while still protecting eathrealm."
Except this wasnt an ideal world. Despite being crafted perfectly by the gods, it seemed fate had its favourites. Allowing them to break the format and ruin the potential for a perfect world.
It just so happens Shang Tsung is one of the few who are smiled upon. In his eyes anyway.

Summary
Johnny sacrifices himself for his friends and for the greater good of earthrealm. But Shang Tsung had more intentions than just leaving the man to bleed out in the woods.
Everything hurt. And stung with a vigor, his body felt tantalizingly cold but on fire at the same time.
He felt like he was drowning in a dark void of substance. Not as slippery as water, not as strong or rough as sludge. It was thin and think all at once as he wanted to thrash and scream. He wanted to fight as this thing carved into him, hollowing him out through his guts. Seeping into him and his soul. The pain that was numbed finally slowly returned in force, as he was finally able to open his eyes. He saw a grey stone ground beneath him as he wretched his head up catching a glimpse of a shrouded sky and a city of gothic buildings starlit by light embedded into them from their windows.
Where was he now?Johnny gets tossed into the Lazarus Pit by Shang Tsung after deceiving him like the great actor he is, as he wakes up in Gotham and met with a slew of new fighters. Can he survive the city and get back to his friends? Or did they even know he was here?

Summary
"Would you wish for your vision back?"
Kenshi paused, realizing what Johnny was asking before letting out a soft chuckle. "No, never. Liu Kang said it was fate. We’ve talked about this before, Johnny."
Johnny hesitated, a terribly familiar feeling towering over him, "I’m still really sorry about that, Kenshi. You saved my life, and I still don’t know how I can even begin to repay you."
Kenshi turned his head slightly in Johnny’s direction. “It’s not your fault”. There was a quiet warmth in his voice when spoke again. "Johnny, I don't care for my blindness and if it’s fate. As long as we are fate too."

Summary
"Listen," Kung Lao said, patiently. "Being knocked out by someone like Cage must be a wound to pride. But it doesn't mean you're not strong."
Someone like Cage. Aka a spineless hedonist with so many problems that not even a year in Rehab could have solved.
He knew the script by heart. Kenshi will agree, insult and curse him, then go about his day, perhaps devising a plan to steal I hear from under his nose.
Except that Kenshi had never been good at following a script.
"I could accept defeat," the Japanese said. "If the man in question were an honorable man, and not a who prostitutes himself for a quarter of an hour of fame or to feel less pathetic. Cage is nothing more than a spoiled brat with a propensity to open his legs to get what he wants, and he doesn't know what sacrifice and duty are. It's no surprise that his wife has grown tired of him, a totally useless and worthless man back, but I'm not that type, I'm better than him and I'll prove it by getting I feel so that my ancestors are proud of me."
(Where Johnny listens to things he shouldn't, and always expects the worst, and Kenshi chooses the worst time to get his head out of his ass and try to get to know the other man better.)

Summary
His heart breaks for him, it really does. He takes his hand and smoothes it over Johnny’s unkempt hair, making him sigh. “This, too, shall pass, my love.”
Johnny’s breath hitches. “When?” he asks, suddenly much more watery and fragile than a second ago.

Like he said many nights before, Johnny would do better being quiet on nights like this.
A very very short oneshot in which Johnny opens up to Kenshi, even if it's miniscule.

Summary
A faint smirk appeared on Kenshi's lips as he gazed lovingly at Johnny. "I want to make up for lost time, once I'm better." he admitted softly, gazing tenderly into Johnny's eyes.
"Yeah.." Johnny breathed out, a confident grin spreading across his face. "We've got some serious catching up to do, babe. And trust me, I've got a whole list of ideas."
Kenshi's smirk widened, a playful glimmer in his eyes. "Oh, I can only imagine what's on that list," he teased, his voice filled with anticipation.
Johnny leaned in closer, his voice dropping to a whisper. "Date first, sex later."

Summary
Predictably, Johnny wins. The victory feels empty, however. Kicking Kenshi’s ass three times in a row is starting to get old. Fast.
They run through the scene with the chair and the rope, and the one with Liu Kang and Sub-Zero. Johnny even lets Bi-Han rough him up a little, losing his expensive statue in the process. Well, losing it for now. It'll be back when the clock resets and Johnny is back here for the fourth fucking time.
Woah.
That's a conversation for another time. (Never)
Or
Johnny discovers that time travel is not all it's cracked up to be. At least he gets a cool boyfriend out of the whole thing.
