(Edited because I was surprised by how much of a romance I've been making it...🐢💙) Hello, everybody! I was skeptical about the new version of TMNT, but I found myself enjoying it and the recently released movie to the point where I'm writing fanfiction, and let me tell you, I haven't written any in a while. I heard the show was cut short from what was originally planned, so I decided to explore what a longer Krang Arch could have looked like with my OC: Tina Tortuga. Obviously, there will be spoilers. Tina is from a world much like ours and has grown up on TMNT, though she never gave Rise! another chance after the pilot. One day, she finds a mysterious emerald earring that once belonged to her father and puts it on, isekaing her to the Rise! reality. Although she comes to accept and maybe even appreciate the characters' differences from their previous incarnations, she finds herself surprised to be falling for the most divergent of the turtles. Can she accept these budding feelings, even if they get in the way of her going home? Read on to find out! Of course, I own nothing. Credit to Nickelodeon for the show.
