Carrie follows her friend, a terrible decision, and finds her life spiraling into the terrifying unknown.

!! Rated 5/5 and HIGHER! #1 #TMNTLEO 6/1/24 / #66/20K+ IN APRIL TAG / #1 #TMNTLEONARDO 11/7/24 / #1 TMNTRAPH 2/7/25 \ #1 TMNTDONNIE 9/25/25 --|Description: Y/N L/N, a young robotics engineer, transferred to New York City to pursue the mysterious disappearance of their father. While attending high school, they meet April O'Neil and Casey Jones- their new group members on an upcoming project. As they gather at Y/N's apartment, the turtles and their friends' enemies find a potential advantage in learning that Y/N isn't human, and that they have some unique skills... Leonardo and his brothers set out to help Y/N as their friends with April and Casey, but after feeling something new and Karai running around- Leo's unsure of all that he could manage. --|Modern-day setting: Near the end of Season 2 of TMNT (2012 version), specifically, after the 21st episode, "Vengeance Is Mine". This is the season where it starts off with the mutagen outbreak happening- where mutagen canisters were spilled throughout New York City. Casey gets introduced earlier on in the season, Spike has been mutated to Slash (but the Mighty Mutanimals don't exist), Tigerclaw recently came back from the worm with a hatred for April and Casey, Bebop and Rocksteady haven't mutated, and Karai has just been mutated- and is nowhere to be found. --|WARNING!: Fighting scenes with the use of weapons are described in the story. Some things in the story may be depicted as 'disgusting'- an example being brains inside of robots stomach (The Krang). Not all of the events displayed in this story are going to be 100% accurate. Anything that happens after episode 21 of season 2 has either been altered, or changed completely for your enjoyment and the sake of the story. --|Note: This story uses the Y/N L/N format. You can imagine the character however you want!

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.

(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.
