BANG.

Pain exploded through my leg, knocking me to the floor.
"They shot me-my fucking leg!" I screamed, trying to breathe through the panic.

My first day working at the museum turned into a nightmare when the Purple Dragons attacked. They found me hiding and shot me, and everything blurred-until a green mutant appeared out of nowhere, trying to save me and the stolen artifacts. I couldn't stand on my own, so he made a split-second decision to take me to his lair, hoping his brother Donnie could help.

While recovering, I learned about Leo, his family, the Kraang, and the Foot Clan. I grew close to him-and terrified of his constant need to play hero. Every mission felt like another chance he wouldn't come back.

But while I worried about him, something began happening to me: the voices, the visions, the emotions I didn't understand, especially when it came to that blue-masked turtle.

Now I have two questions:
What's happening to me-and can I save Leo before it's too late?

My Protector (Tmnt 2014 Leonardo) by thegirlwithstories_

~BOOK 1~ April O'Neil, a fearless reporter, and her younger sister Skylar, a free-spirited artist, find themselves on the run after witnessing the subway incident that revealed the existence of the Turtles. Seeking to find the vigilantes on a rooftop in the heart of Midtown Manhattan, the sisters stumble upon the four heroes themselves. While April is fascinated by them- no doubt looking for a story- Skylar is inexplicably drawn to the eldest turtle, Leonardo. Despite Leonardo's initial wariness, Skylar's genuine kindness and artistic spirit begin to melt his shell. As their first interaction grows, so does Skylar's affection. But their budding romance is a dangerous secret, especially given the threat posed by Shredder. He is obsessed with the turtles, and the discovery of humans entangled with them could jeopardize their safety - and possibly even lead to a devastating conflict between the Turtles and the Foot Clan. With Leonardo burdened by the responsibility of protecting his brothers and the secret of their existence, and Skylar yearning for a connection that seems forbidden, their fragile connection hangs by a thread. Can they find a way to be together, or will their love be crushed under the weight of Shredder's growing power?

"Fearless Together..." (TMNT: Book 2) by Lil-Sakurasou

It's been a year since the Sacks Tower attack, and you and Leo still aren't together. Yeah it fucking sucks. Both of you are completely oblivious to each other's affection for the other. He thinks you kissed him purely as a thank you, and you don't think he reciprocates your feelings simply because he hasn't made a move. This doesn't mean you aren't close though, because your bond with him has surely grown over the year. But that bond will soon be tested when the Shredder breaks out of jail, unleashing unworldly threats upon NYC. Now you must learn to navigate the waters of your feelings for Leo, while also stopping a giant wad of pink chewing gum from space. How hard can it be? --- You quickly looked up at him, making him pause mid kiss, "Leo I-I want to... to take it slow..." Leo nodded, resting his forehead back on yours with a smile, "Don't worry, I've already got a spot on the floor..." --- Rankings: #1 in LeonardoHamato!!! 💙💙💙 #1 in Leoxreader!!! 💙💙💙 #1 in Ninjas!!! 💙💙💙 Book 2 of 2 in the 'To Be Fearless...'

Chemistry Matters! TMNT 2012 Donnie x Fem!Reader by flowersbabygirlluv

Dear Diary, Me and April are finally starting to hangout again! You see what happened was: I was hanging out on the rooftop of my apartment building when these men came and tried to kidnap me. I fought as hard as I could but I accidentally fell off the rooftop. However this green dude with a purple bandana saved me! He gently brought me to the ground and checked to see if I had any injuries. While he was checking, I saw April on the rooftop with some other green dudes and she was fighting off those weird men! Eventually they disappeared and the whole group came down to me and the purple guy. She apologized to me for not keeping in contact for the entire year. She said she's been training to be a fighter with the help of her friends, which are apparently mutant turtles. They all introduced each other, red is raph, blue is leo, orange is Mikey, and purple is 𝒟ℴ𝓃𝓃𝒶𝓉ℯ𝓁𝓁ℴ I don't know what it is about that guy but.... I think I might have a crush on him, or at the very least it's limerance. I mean the guy saved me so it's probably just infatuation because of that. Anyway, April said that tomorrow she's gonna take me to the turtles lair so we'll see how that goes! Maybe I can even become friends with them! Especially 𝒟ℴ𝓃𝓃𝒶𝓉ℯ𝓁𝓁ℴ..... TW: This is gonna be a pretty angsty story and it will have sad themes such as parental loss, grief, unrequited love (which gets requited...eventually), and obsession (but not too much) I'll post warnings at the beginnings of chapters for some of these themes but I hope you enjoy! Edit: I'm marking the story as mature for the time being just because of the themes I have written above. There will be no smut in this story or super graphic violence
