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.)

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
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 Bravery in his Eyes - A TMNT Leo X Reader Story
Donnie turned around and started for his lab, putting his hands up in surrender. Raph averted his eyes and went over to the training dummy. It was Mikey who screamed, "Dude, is that a hickey?" Y/N's face reddened, and I turned to her slowly. "You have - I gave you-?" She looked away from me as she moved the collar of her shirt slightly to the side, revealing a pretty sizable bruise on her neck. "There's another one on my shoulder," she whispered. Mikey looked away, horrified. Captain Ryan would definitely not be proud. * * * Welcome to my first book, a Leo X Reader story! Let's put you in the TMNT 2012 universe, where you are staying with your grandparents in their New York City apartment and not much is going on. Well, until there are robots on the roof and you spot something strange, like a team of four ninja turtles fighting back? Enjoy the fluff, excitement, and adventure of being Leo's friend and possibly something more! He's a total sweetheart, so there will be tons of cuteness (and a little PG-13 humor!) Leave me lots of comments! I'd love to read what you guys think! *I don't own TMNT or any of its characters, but they're awesome nonetheless!

「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.

The Words That Hurt Me
A general rule of thumb for any type of story telling media is to not have more than five main characters. Often, these five are separated into categories, the leader, the smart one, the hothead, the Woman, and finally, the dumb one. While the others are given chances to express their talents and skills in carefully planned arcs, the dumb one is often neglected. No, the dumb one is meant to entertain, he makes a mistake and you are to laugh at it. He is not allowed to have a moment of realization, not given the chance to prove himself, not allowed to be more than the dumb one. A joke. The unwilling jester meant to make his blind peers look smarter, clever, at the expense of his pride and shame. Michelangelo, youngest ninja turtle, is Doing Just Fine. He means it. The teasing words of his brothers doesn't feel like scalding water against his skin, thank you very much. He Doesn't feel hurt when they brush him off as childish and immature, when they refuse to listen. And he Absolutely Does Not need any help because he doesn't have any problems. He doesn't feel bad. He doesn't really feel anything at all. Mikey can't exactly say there's anything wrong when he can't identify it, but how can he ignore his inner world falling to pieces and his mental health declining? Well, apparently the kid on the computer can relate to that.Complete
I've Been Tired (TMNT 2012 Leo x reader)
After being blown off by Leo for the third time in a row, you finally snap. - In other words- an angsty short-story that includes two alternate endings, Raphael acting as a shitty therapist, a much-needed hug for Leonardo, and another hug for Leonardo because I am a sucker. - Gender neutral reader, implied bi Leo, and he/they pronouns for Donnie because I felt like it I guess. 13,352 word count. Cover art is mine.Complete
