Donatello was a genius with a great understanding of technology, and everyone knew him as such. What would happen, though, if all of his ideas ran out and exhaustion caught up with him? What if he finally realized all of his trauma from his work as a ninja and all of the bullying from his family? Maybe he would reach his breaking point, maybe he'd give up.
(Based on the 2012 TMNT series, after season 1 but before season 2 since I haven't seen it.)

But - as fate would have it - he finds himself plummeting from the night sky. A secret concealed for sixteen years is revealed in the most unexpected of ways. A secret that Michelangelo Hamato realizes he will have to keep close to him; that may have already decided his destiny. Maybe he has these newfound abilities for a reason. Maybe that drifting raven feather all those years ago was orchestrated for a bigger purpose - and gave a greater power - than he could ever imagine. But when the unexplainable happenings begin to go haywire, the youngest brother finds himself facing even more truly all on his own. Because waking up laying on the bare earth - rather than where you know you went to sleep - can only mean more chaos to come in his already puzzling life. And it seems to be only the beginning of it all. ❝ 𝕎𝕚𝕟𝕘𝕤 𝕠𝕗 𝕗𝕝𝕒𝕞𝕖 𝕤𝕙𝕒𝕝𝕝 𝕓𝕦𝕣 𝕟 𝕓𝕝𝕒𝕕𝕖 𝕥𝕠 𝕒𝕤𝕙. ❞ // EDITED description.

「ABSENCE」 TMNT 2012
"Come back!" She screamed. But the voices only left her farther behind. For months she's waited, never giving up the thought that they'd come for her. Others had related to her the tales of how they'd come to be. She knew, deep down, that they would find her. But when they do chance upon her one night, her hopes are shattered. They run right passed her, conversing amongst themselves. She watched them go, knowing they must not have seen her. Disappointment replaces hope, but the longing to be free still persists.

Alternate Allure
(I'll use MC for the protagonist. I want the reader to be able to read freely, project or insert their own OCs in the story) Life's been a real rollercoaster for you lately. School's a total nightmare, and things at home with mom are a hot mess ever since dad passed away. Just when you're about to throw in the towel, you wake up in a hospital room, and to your shock, your dad's right there with you, but nothing makes sense with the memories you keep. Before you can even process this bizarre reunion, you and your dad are victims of an attempted kidnapping, you being rescued by 4 mutant turtle brothers, who offer to help you find your father. As you get to know them better, you find yourself drawn into their world while trying to understand what's going on with your memories. Little do you know, there's more to your connection with these heroes than meets the eye. Eventual MC x Donatello relationship. A remake of Donatello and April's original relationship dynamic, but slow burned and unrushed, so they can build a true friendship before discovering that either of them have feelings for the other. --------------- I always felt like Donnie crushin' on April in the show was a bit off, especially 'cause she never felt the same way and it felt kind of forced. Chatted with my sis 'bout this ongoing plot in the series, and it hit me - the show could've been way cooler if April and Donatello had a tighter connection, giving 'em both the character development they deserved. Figured I had nothin' to lose, so this's what came outta that chat. Hope you dig it! First time putting words on paper, fingers crossed it ain't too shabby. Plus, English isn't my first language, so sorry if the phrasing is a bit off. Just in case, I'll mention neither TMNT 2012 or the fanart used for the cover are mine.

"Aha! So you are soft! I knew it!" You poked him in the middle of the shell. "What-no! That's not what I meant-" "You act like you're this macho tough guy, but really you're just a soft teddy bear," you teased, booping him on the nose. "Shut up," Raph growled, but he was smiling. * * * * * When you wake up in New York City with no idea how you got there, and no idea how to get home, you stumble into the sewers in search of temporary shelter and safety, until you can figure things out. You get a little more than you bargain for. * * * * * TMNT 2012 Raphael x Reader Gen Z, we have a problem, and I'm only here to make it worse. Previously titled "Homeless"Complete

Well, Wasn't Expecting That.
(Hey, just so everyone knows, this story is officially discontinued on my account, but @PlutisWolf asked to rewrite it on theirs, which I agreed to. If you have any questions, please ask them about it) (Also, this story is absolute trash and hella embarrassing. I seriously recommend against reading.) My name is Jessica, but I tend to just go by Jess. Some simple minded humans would call me a "werewolf" but they would be greatly mistaken. I am in fact a mutant. A wolf shifter to be more specific, sorta like a shapeshifter except I can only shift into a wolf. I've learned to survive on my own in the harsh streets of New York City, and have been living alone since I was 10. But without waning, my life suddenly gets turned upside down. When my friends turn out to be enemies, and my enemies become friends. My piece of advice to anyone reading this, Trust is a very valuable thing. Be careful who you give it to.

The Donnie Christmas Caper
A TMNT Christmas Mystery None of the turtles knew what had gotten into Donatello. His strange behavior confused them, the genius turtle always choosing December to duck into his lab and refuse to reappear. He'd work in there for days at a time, refusing to let his brothers enter the lab for any reason. Donnie would then stay locked up in his lab until Christmas morning when he'd reappear and act as though nothing ever happened. When questioned, he'd simply shrug off their concerns or puzzlement and change the conversation. Eventually, his family simply left the subject alone. All but Mikey, who was determined to figure out what Donnie was up before Christmas arrived. Inspired by a close friend of mine who shares my love of TMNT and Donatello! Also my need to have some Dr. Detectivestein in my life! ;) Feel free to comment your guesses to the answer as this mystery unravels! *Cover crafted by me; cover image not mine* Rated: #2 MichelangeloComplete
