"Try not to be stupid next time, okay?" When he's told shortly after graduation that he didn't actually pass and, in order to truly earn his diploma, he must redo his senior year math credit, Casey Jones isn't sure how things could get worse. He knows school isn't his strong suit, but faced with yet another failure, he wonders if it would be better to just give up. Then, things do get worse, and he loses his dad in a car accident that he blames himself for. Spiralling into depression, Casey faces a future that he can't picture. Everyone is moving on with their lives, moving on to bigger and better things, and he's stuck in the same place he's been for years. His dad is dead, his sister moves out, and he knows it will only be a matter of time before the friends he has left leave him behind. No one feels the way he does, and he's sure that that's the truth until he meets her. She has secrets that she won't share and a past that she keeps hidden. They share the darkness and yet, together, they start to see things in a new light.

I've read a few TMNT fanfictions, and I've seen some overused story points and interesting topics and ideas brought into play. This is my take on giving writing advice, and applying logic to a cartoon about adolescent terrapins who have mutated into a human-like form and know ninjutsu.

The Sequel to 'Before (Part 1)'. Rated PG-13 for fighting, danger, blood, and near-death experiences.

Years since he died. 5 years past, without the Fearless Blue Leader. Leonardo Hamato. Is no more. The lair was quiet. Quiet as the grave. They believe he's gone For good. But what if he doesn't? What if he was still out there? Watching his brothers..? And what if the certain blue clad turtle wasn't the turtle we used to know?

Every refraction is a reflection to the biased eye, and Raph has very biased eyes. [TMNT 2012 fic] 1st Place - Zoe-Compo

"Looks like we meet again, hot head." I smirked as Raph came into view. His head was so red from fuming he could've just explode! "A'right kid, give me back my sai. Now." He growled. "You mean that salad tong? Why? Vegetarian?" All hail me for the amazing comebacks, thank you thank you. "I ain't have no time ta mess around kid. Just turn around and gimme back my sai and i'll consider this over." I rolled my eyes. "Dude, i'm 14. I'm not a kid." ---------------------------------------------------------- Who would've thunk the Ol' Fearless big brother blue leader is actually the youngest? And who knows, there are still secrets kept in store.. ---- NON-ROMANCE STORY. PURE BROTHERLY/FRIENDSHIP FLUFF. Ch.1-2 is written kinda hapzardly, may edit later. The story gradually turns better at Ch.3 or 4. Relationship mostly revolves around Raph's friendship first because it's easier for me to connect with him. Donnie and Mikey will eventually came up. On later chapters. Eventually. Disclaimer : I DON'T OWN THESE TERRAPINS EXCEPT AO. ((Well not really since he's- oh just read this already!)) 《WARNING》 SO CRAZY. MUCH RANDOM.

"I'll tell you all the stories you want." In New York, the buildings are quiet as the people of Manhattan sleep. By the glow of the moon, the silhouette of a girl stands atop a roof, her arms crossed as she watches the celestial body with wild green eyes. A heavy sigh escapes her mouth, the dull ache of loneliness reminding her that she's alive; she survived another night. Even so, she can't help but wonder what she's missing. Normal doesn't suit Destiny's lifestyle. Through some happening when she was only a baby, she was transformed into a wolf-human hybrid. She did everything for herself, by herself. She escaped her captors, she gave herself a name, she learned to protect herself and survive on the harsh streets, and above all, she never showed her face to any human. She's a mutation living in the shadow of the moonlight, and to her, that's the way it'll always be. She's cursed to be a lone wolf, watching the moon and dreaming of how it could be different.

"However, you say I am human in a sense, that my body is simply fused with the robot that I have been raised to believe I am. Could you teach me...emotion?" The Kraang tried to take over the city of New York twice, and only once did they succeed. The screams of civilians permeated the cold air as Kraang moved through the streets, armed to the teeth. Mutagen rained down over passerby, asphalt cracked, fires raged, and as the city grew silent, a lone van drove off down the road. Within the isolation of her TCRI Kraang cell, she watched the humans lose. Later, she watched the humans as they were saved. She felt nothing. Subject 60184 has known no other life than one full of Kraang droids and experiments. She's a cyborg who's been raised alongside the Kraang, but her hatred for her alien captors is unrelenting. For sixteen years she has lived as an almost emotionless test subject, forced to watch the big, wide world pass by without her. To the Kraang, she is an object, not a human being. This cyborg knows better. She knows what she wants, and she knows that they've made the wrong enemy. It's time to rebel. Book Three in the Mutations Series Song: The Scientist by Coldplay

"In Saskatchewan, when I couldn't fall asleep, I'd watch the moon and think about how across the country and over the border, you were probably out on a rooftop beneath the same moon. You were the first person I enjoyed the moon with. Every other time, I was alone." The Kraang's plot to take over New York has succeeded. The turtles, Destiny, April, Casey, and Diaval have managed to escape to the outskirts of the city, but not without loss. With Leonardo gravely injured and their Sensei gone, the moods of the group are pessimistic at best. Their minds are stuck on the city they left behind, but they know that they can't go back. Not yet. Now, they have to get used to living in April's family farmhouse; cleaning, training, and cooking for themselves. Of course, the lives of the turtles and those near to them are never normal. There are plenty of new mutants, both friend and enemy, lurking in the moonlit shadows of the forest around them, making their lives all the more interesting. All the while, they're healing from physical and mental wounds, helping each other grow stronger, and learning more and more about the past, present, and even the future.
