Can you expand more on what would’ve happened if Leo/Mikey/Raph had been the ones to end up being taken by the brother Kraang? I love your work and I’m sorry to hear about your writers block! Hope this helps! ❤️

For sure! Thank you for the ask! I’m not surprised those concepts caught on lol so I think I’ll probably go into some more details on 1) the ideas of what would happen and 2) why I’m writing new hardware with Donnie and not one of the other bros lmao

Putting some of this beneath a cut bc this one’s gonna be LONG.

The Tear AU

In an AU where Leo is taken instead of Donnie, the Krang would have to work fast. Donnie has a tracker on Leo, and even if the tracker is taken out of him at some point, it would at least give the others a much smaller area they have to search. However, Leo’s use of portals would be able to help in this, since the ability to get Krang matter wherever and whenever the Krang wants could give them a huge advantage. It would probably be a much shorter story, since the turtles have a very limited amount of time to stop The Tear and the Brother before things just get absolutely out of hand, but they’ll be able to actually get there to deal with the issues and start fighting relatively quickly. Leo probably isn’t super conscious while any of this is going on, since even though he’s good at strategizing, the Krang probably wouldn’t see much virtue in Leo keeping his capacity for thought and just use him as a portal generator.

The Guard AU

Sorry Raph ily but this would be the least fun for me to write I think lol. You definitely CAN make the “Raph gets krangified again” plot work, but it’s not something I personally wanna dedicate too much headspace too. The whole of the movie was basically this plot, and it would mostly be Raph and the Brother trying to free the other Krang, get the key, all of that stuff. There could definitely be some fun angst of maybe with him critically injuring a member of his family, but most of what can be done here has already been done. There also wouldn’t be much of Raph fighting back bc the Brother Krang (or at least my idea of him) would just kinda. Turn off his brain since it’s not really useful to him.

The Battery AU

In the case of Mikey being captured, it’s probably the most interesting out of the three for me. Most likely how the plot would play out is that Michelangelo is captured, and the Krang probes his memory to find out about the bad future and decides to try and use that power. He brings Mikey back to his den and then there, uses Mikey’s powers to tear open a doorway to the bad dimension and to try and bring the successful Krang and their army in through the portal. Mikey either breaks out or is rescued at that point, and the rest of the story is focused on the brothers fighting off the Krang from the alternate dimension. Mikey being injured in some sort of way from having to use that power is definitely a possibility and some good angst too.

The way New Hardware works and the trope it plays off for me is the idea of the “smart guy” (Donnie, in this case) and what would actually happen in a way if they were removed from a plot. Over and over again in rottmnt and in other media, things can only “get started” once the characters have information to go on, either by convenience or by getting it from somewhere. Characters like Donatello are catalysts in the literal definition, speeding up the process of the plot by getting characters the information they need to go start kicking butt or getting into the action and all that.

Think about the movie, and think about what would have happened if Donnie wasn’t there, if he hadn’t implanted the trackers in anyone. It’s brushed over and then played as a joke that those trackers are there, but the fact it’s brushed over is just an example of how important those characters are to a narrative. They didn’t have to look for Raph that much, they just knew where he was and could focus their attention of fighting the bad guys to get to him instead.

The point of New Hardware is 1) because Donnie is my favorite character and unfortunately for him that means I like giving him angst and 2) to show what would realistically happen in a worst case scenario when characters don’t have that convenient information to go off of anymore. Information is a type power as people say, and without Donnie on their side, they’re at a big disadvantage when it comes to intel.

I got my first proper request and I literally accidentally deleted it. Am I stupid? Yes. Did I immediately panic? Yes. Do I remember what was on it?........ mostly.

Haha anon I hope you see this I'm so sorry but ily.

The turtles s/o who's usually very calm but just bursts into anger.

Notes: swearing :) I think it's funny

Leonardo:

He's used to a very calm s/o, you like to meditate together, he's always been good with helping you with breathing exercises.

You both like to keep arguments to a minimum, and even when fights do take place there isn't a lot of yelling

But when your mother came to visit :) that was just :) a lot of pressure :)

And she stayed in your apartment :) for a week :) everything was fine :)

Leonardo hadn't seen you for an entire week, not an overly long time, but certainly not pleasant. And he knew that you got stressed when you couldn't see him often. So as soon as you texted saying you had dropped your mother off at the airport, he immediately came round.

You were already screaming the moment you walked in the door.

"Oh she has some nerve! Some nerve! Speaking to me like that!"

"I'm guessing you're car ride went smoothly."

"She's been bugging me all week! When are you getting married? When are you have kids? I want some grand babies before I die! Ugh! She's obsessed with maintaining this perfect image all because her friend's kids are married and making babies like rabbits!"

He stayed quiet, not exactly sure how to comfort you. It wasn't like he could provide you with these things, and by the sounds of it, your mother would never approve of your huge turtle boyfriend.

"She just can't get that I'm happy! I have my own life and it's perfect the way I want it to be! I have a perfect boyfriend! You're a fucking delight! She–she's just so obsessed with her image that she'd never get that!"

"You... You think so?"

"I know so! She's too stubborn and she'll never get how fucking great you are and it just— UGH! It fries my brain."

"Even though I... I can't give you all those things... I can't legally marry you, we can't have kids."

"Even if you could give me a mansion and a diamond ring, or if all you could give me was a-a fucking walnut! I love you Leonardo, not that prim and proper white satin wedding she's made a thousand Pinterest boards for. I love you, I just wish she would get it."

Leonardo leaned down and kissed your cheek

"I love you too."

He believed in dealing with anger appropriately, but seeing you defend him with such passion made him feel so much more secure.

Raphael:

He's seen you angry before, he encouraged it. He's all about helping you with your confidence, teaching you to not be afraid to take up space and stand up for yourself.

But holy cow. You were mad that night.

He'd warned you not to take the trash out at night, wait to the morning — or better yet, he'll take it out for you when he came to visit after patrol.

But you are Raphael's girl. You are stubborn.

So you take the trash out, and some absolute creep decides that "flirting" in a dark alleyway in the key to a girl's heart.

Raphael swooped in, told the man to scram. But bold and drunk, the man spits back with a "Oh yeah? And would she want anything to do with a freak like you? What are you gonna do? Hit me? Aw, big angry turtle, you're gonna scare your girlfriend away."

It was two of his biggest insecurities. His appearance and his rage, especially in regards to scaring you away. It was a low blow, Raphael should have known to just walk away.

But he clammed up, he'd never admit when his anxiety got the best of him and you don't blame him.

"Oh go fuck yourself. If a vile man like you doesn't scare me, why the hell do you think a good man like him would?"

"A good man? He's not a fucking man! He's some freaky turtle thing, a pretty little thing like you deserves a real man."

"And are you a real man?"

"More real than your little pet."

The next thing you knew, the man was on the ground. You assumed Raphael knocked him out, but Raph's standing behind you and you're the one with your hand in a fist.

"Oh my god. Oh–Oh Raphie I knocked him out! O-Oh my god!"

"Holy shit Y/N! You probably broke his nose!" Raphael is grinning, shaking your shoulders.

"I didn't mean to hurt him."

"He deserves a broken nose at the least for messing with you! He was an asshole and he needed someone like you to set him straight!"

"I, um, well, I suppose he did! Saying such horrible things about you, I-I guess he did need someone to put him in his place."

Raphael ruffled your hair, "Thank you, my knight in shining armour."

"That make you my Prince?"

"Your Prince who was right about not taking the trash out at night."

"You've got to be fucking kidding me."

He appreciated you standing up for him more than you could imagine. And he found it mighty hot how hard you hit that guy. Seriously! He must be a good self defence teacher.

Donatello:

Donatello loves you so much, loves holding you and hugging you whenever he can. He adores it when you sit on his lap while he works.

But do you like to cuddle when you sleep? Tough luck. Getting him to bed is like trying to lick your own elbow: near impossible.

Regardless, you try. Because every once in a while Donatello is too tired to fight and he will go to bed.

Tonight is not one of those nights.

"Baby, please, just come to bed. Everyone's already asleep."

"I'll be there in a minute, just go on without me."

You sigh, not really seeing the point in fighting. Instead you return to his bed, trying to keep yourself awake playing games on your phone. When half an hour passes, you go back and try again.

"Donnie come on, aren't you tired? I just want to cuddle."

"I just need to put some stuff on a hard drive, April's writing a new article, she needs it for tomorrow."

You sigh once more, "Promise you'll come to bed right after?"

"I promise."

Donatello's bed is comfortable, but it's more comfortable with him in. You force yourself to stay awake; despite your exhaustion you're determined to cuddle tonight. It's all you want.

But it did not take an hour to put some documents onto a hard drive. And he's being awfully loud for just typing away on a computer.

"Are you fucking joking right now?!"

He jumps, almost dropping the box of beakers in his arms, "Hey love... Can't sleep?"

"You're rearranging your lab?! Why are you—since when do you rearrange things, huh? What the hell?!"

"I just y'know, thought things needed a change..?"

"Oh, and now is the time to change things, really? Of all the times to move your fucking beakers you decide to do it in the middle of the night after I specifically asked you to come to bed? Seriously?"

He gives a nervous grin, the kind that usually made you smile in return. But it was late — rather it was early at this point — and you were cranky.

"You can sleep without me, you're a big girl." He teased.

"I want to sleep with my boyfriend! I want to cuddle! Is that so much to ask for?!"

Donatello blinked, "You're right, I'm sorry, but I swear, I promise, I'll be ten minutes, honest."

"You can finish this tomorrow. If you're not in bed in the next ten seconds, I am going to scream and wake everyone else up."

"Don't be ridiculous—"

"Ten."

Donatello jumped, quickly moving to shove supplies in cupboards a little recklessly. You continued to count down from ten, storming off back to his bed for hopefully the finally time this night.

By the time you got to the very firm "Three... Two... One..." Donatello was racing to bed, dived in beside you, crashing and knocking your heads together.

He'd never tell you, for fear you'd let it get to your head, but he kind of liked it when you got bossy.

Michelangelo:

Anger and Michelangelo just don't mix. They just don't. He's the king of communication, he's tries his hardest to avoid fights at any and all costs. You've always appreciated his determination to talk things out with you.

But with his brothers? He shuts down, he goes quiet and just accepts whatever blame they put on him: he knows they don't mean it, they only say mean things when they're angry.

But it hurts, hearing his big brothers tell him he's stupid, that he's childish, that he's lackadaisical.

"What kind of word even is that?! I swear Donnie must read a thesaurus as a bedtime story.."

So he's allowed to complain, and you let him ramble when he comes to visit. He sits on your bed and the words just tumble out of his mouth, lets you move around the room tidying up while he rants.

"I just—Raph keeps calling me stupid. And I just—I-I just—You know, sometimes I believe it."

You freeze, sweater only half folded and turn to him, "But you're not stupid. Just because you're not some brainiac like Donatello doesn't make you stupid. If that was the case, then I'm stupid, Raph's stupid, April, Leo, Splinter is stupid. Do you think we're all stupid?"

"Well—no, but—"

"But what?"

"But I... I am a little stupid."

"No you're not! Mikey, how many times has you out of the box thinking saved the day? Y-You were the one who suggested playing friggen buck-buck to take down Shredder! Y-Your skateboarding—hoverboarding skills saved the world. You think your brothers could do that?"

Mikey scrunched his nose up, "That's not smart though. They're right. My-my focus is all over the place, I-I could never come up with a plan like Leo, I could never have half the brains Donnie has, and Raph just—he gets things that I don't and I-I am stupid!"

"I need to have a word with your brothers—"

"And that's another thing! Everyone still treats me like I'm some kid! I don't need you to have a word with them! You're not my mom."

"Then you have a word with them! But sitting here and complaining about things that just aren't true isn't going to change anything!"

He's taken aback. Much like himself, you hardly ever yell, never ever raise your voice at him.

"I am not going to stand here and let them insult you day in and day out! Either you do something about it, or I will!"

He blinks at you, you're aggressively folding the sweater in your arms and grumbling about how you could definitely take Raphael in a fist fight if need be. You mumble something about how nobody gets to speak to your boyfriend like that, and it finally clicks with Mikey.

"Alright. I'm going to talk to them," He's mostly talking to himself, "I'm going to show them that I'm not some stupid, ditzy, lackadaisical kid anymore. I'm your boyfriend, and nobody gets to speak with me that way!"

You beam at him, anger disappearing within the second with his newfound confidence, "Hell yeah! Nobody insults my boyfriend!"

"Your boyfriend!"

"My boyfriend!"

"Your boyfriend!"

His brothers' version of a wake up call is to point out his weaknesses, tell him what needs to be corrected. But you much prefer to build him up, point out his strengths.

But jeez, he does not like your angry face.

Give us the Donatellos!

Donnie is my favorite so Imma be super biased on this one. Maybe I like smart guys or maybe purple is my favorite color, you’ll never know!

Up first, the og ‘hehe turgle’

Donatello (1987)

Yeah I’m sorry for making this

First of all, not the biggest fan of his voice. It has a bit of a whiny quality to it, and I’m not about all that jazz. His gismo’s look pretty lame a lot of the times, either it’s a grey box with some buttons, dials and flashing lights or looks like it was pulled directly from Lost in Space. Still a cute design but he felt pretty bland and seemed to be used for plot convenience most of the time. To put it simply, he was cute and essential but kinda bland. I’m always really harsh on this version because it’s so painfully dated and cheesy, which ain’t my cup of tea, but what can I say be hehe turgle.

5/10

I had a crush on this Donnie so you know that this is not remotely close to a fair rating but eh, I love him and yall do too

Don (2003)

His voice, such a huge improvement. I’m really sound-oriented and I often like to play a game of ‘I’ve heard the VA before, but which role?’ when I watch cartoons and I don’t mean to brag, but I’m pretty good at it. So when I heard that soft, caring voice, ten year old me was head over heels. Which is one quality I love about him. His heart is so huge, like I can think back to a bunch of side characters and most of them were introduced through Don helping or knowing them. The Atlantians and the homeless in the show owe so much to Don, but he goes out of his way to make sure that they are alright. In the last season (which everyone hated but I actually really liked so fuck me I guess), Splinter is lost into tiny pieces across the web and Don blames himself and goes without sleep and food for days to bring him back. It broke my heart, and I’m pretty sure a lot of others, to see him like that.

On a lighter note, I vaguely remember this one scene where the triceration dude is like ‘you did this!’ and Don’s like ‘I did? Good for me then.’ and had a very pleased grin on his face right after. I don’t know why, but that killed me. Bless Don and his rare, but excellent, comebacks.

He really does so much and there were quite a few episodes focused on him. He also had quite a bit of character development, not as much as Leo, but whoever gets any more development whatsoever besides Leo?

I love him he’s amazing protect him/10

Next up is the Donnie that helped me love my old gap tooth.

Donnie (2012)

Voiced by the very talented Rob Paulson, this Donnie goes back and forth from really great character to eh. The whole April thing was just kinda strange to me and I don’t really think it added anything other than some interesting Casey and Donnie banter. His crush was really strong the first two seasons and came off as stalkerish almost. Although I’m guilty of having a picture of a crush as my lock screen once as well, so I can’t judge that much. I really liked that they actually addressed this when Bigfoot had a crush on Donnie and he realized how April felt. Yeah, that episode was weird and just didn’t make any sense, but it really helped Donnie gain a new perspective and made him go from super crush to (mostly) hidden pining. He has a nice design as well, especially with the gap tooth. I used to have one and was really embarrassed of it but whenever I saw that Donnie had one, I thought it looked neat and I started to see myself in a more positive light. It’s closed up now, but I can still spray water between the little bit that’s left as a parlor trick. But seriously, what the FUCK was up with Don visiososoos whatever tf his name I I don’t understnad my tiny brain don’t understand why my purple boy tried to kill this dude who looked like he should’ve been wearing a red jumpsuit in the background of a pixar robot love story. Anyway, my tall gap tooth son, ily.

7/10

Then, the barely changed but fantastic

Donnie (Heroes in a Half Shell: Blast to the Past)

Baby but Bastard at the same time purely because of the ‘Anyone who bothers me, ejector seat button’s right there’ line.

10/10

Now this version has one of my favorite designs out of all the Donatello’s!

Donatello (2014/2016)

They put a lot of thought into his design psychically, the long body, the near-constant look of surprise and curiosity in his features, the gadgets made of common objects, the wraps on his arms, I would love to be able to think of and make those kinds of details! It was all really well thought out and he stood out since he wasn’t as bulky as the rest of the turtles. I really like the little lines and the actor did a fantastic job on the delivery and really made the character come to life. Some favorites: ‘Ohmygod, they have guns’, the little awed, snorty chuckle when he flips a car over with his bo staff, ‘doitdoitoitdoit im not gonna stop til you do it doditdoit’ and when he straight up yeets himself out of a plane. He has a genuine curiosity in everything he does and I think he might be my favorite version. It’s hard to choose when it comes to Donnie because he varies so wildly. But for detail, voice and writing alone, definitely the 2014 Donnie.

8.5/10

Next up is God himself

Donnie (2018)

Chaotic as all hell, like I can’t think of a more chaotic character from ANY of the versions other than this Donnie. I have a lot of thoughts about his character in general, from design, to psychology and complexes. First and foremost, Donnie is a softshell turtle, meaning he has a DOPE battle shell and overall looks pretty damn neat. Although, I think that just the fact he’s biologically weaker has caused him to put up a lot of boundaries between him and his family and friends. He can’t be incredibly strong like Raph, agile like Leo or fast like Mikey and even though he brags about being smart, he feels almost beneath his brothers and strives to outdo them in any way he can. He wants to show them that he’s just as, if not more so, talented and feels overlooked because his inventions become ‘too smart’ or ‘too over the top’ and even the ones that work out incredibly well are written off for flashier projects.

He depends on technology and feels like that's all he has, and (ironically enough) he’s built up a shield around him. He acts confident and narcissistic and has an almost nihilistic outlook, but he’s frustrated and feels inferior and wants validation more than anything. I came up with this theory when I saw the episode Turtle Dega Nights. I know that the scene was meant for Donnie to express how he feels about Splinter lying about the event and believe that he didn’t genuinely want to hang out with his sons, but that kind of thing feels like it’s been built up over time, like he’s been lied to before about the true meaning behind something. Something like, oh idk, how great his inventions are? Or how helpful he really is? Or how talented he is? Just sayin. Also ngl I might be self projecting a bit, but mmm. Also he has so much purple on him and it’s wayyy more accurate compared to just a purple bandanna bc people who like purple GO ALL OUT. A friend told me this and I thought ‘nah thats not true I like purple’ but then I looked down to find my dyed purple jeans, purple vans and my favorite hoodie, also purple. A really chaotic version but he seriously needs a hug.

9/10

Storytime: One time my friend dressed up as Donnie the same year I was dressing as April O’ Neal and we didn’t even plan it. It was fantastic.

Thank you so much for sending this in! Sorry it’s taking me so long to get around to these! I’m so glad you guys are liking my blog and my opinions!

I saw your Don and Mikey post for your A Little Too Late AU, but the writing is hard to see. What is it saying?

Sorry about that! My handwriting is a mess and the quality of the photo was shit but he’s a little transcript for ya! (I added and modified some of the text for clarity) Hope this helps and I’m so glad you’ve taken interest in my AU! I’m working on Raph and Leo atm and will hopefully get around to coloring the Mikey and Don sketches!

A little too late AU (ALTL) - Donnie

Atl-l = Alternate life

Remind me to never design robots, I suck at them

Top left sketch:

-Uses covers to protect weaker/sensitive areas

Top right sketch:

-During the fight with Shredder, Donnie protected Mikey from a direct strike. However, Donnie had lost his battle shell during the fight and had nothing to shield himself from Shredders mystic claws. Donnie’s body died that day, but he had created a back up body and managed to load his most recent memories, personality, etc (essentially his ‘spirit’) into his computer through his shell cell, setting off an auto upload into his alternative body, along with his other memories he had already stored (he would load them weekly). This process got delayed due o a failsafe he installed in case the memory AI tried to take control. It took 4 days before he was activated and transferred into the robot body.

-Made a microchip pattern for his tongue bc he thinks it looks cool

- Donnie installed warmers in some areas so that it would feel like an actually body when hugging his brothers rather than just a hunk of metal and tech

Bottom left sketch:

-These can move!

-Light up

-Triangles light up as well

-Interchangeable fingertips! His arms can change…

-... into weapons as well. Very multipurpose!

Bottom right sketch:

-EW

-Okay this arm looks NEAT but not Donnie’s style

A little too late AU (ALTL) - Mikey

I’m so sorry bby ily I just needed some angst sprinkles on this sundae

Top left sketch:

-Wears his torn bandana on his arm

-Has Donnie’s emblem along with his own

-Made the handle of his Kusari Fundo longer and made the spikes more noticeable

-Blind in left eye after blast

-Started wearing wraps to look tougher and stickers to his his scars/cracks

-Erased the faces on his knee pads

Top right sketch:

-He’s conflicted between hiding away and standing out. He hides his scars with stickers, but uses wraps to look tougher and like he can take on anything and no one needs to help him

-Even with Donnie back, Mikey had depressive episodes and dissociated quite a bit for awhile. He developed a phobia of blood and created ‘Dr.Fault’, going back and forth between The Foot Clan, Baron Draxum and himself for the cause of Donnie’s ‘death’. Over time, he accepted that it wasn’t anyone's fault and started to enjoy life again, closing the distance with his family and friends.

Bottom left sketch: Mikey felt guilty when Donnie died right in front of him, shielding him from Shredder bc he was careless ((and left himself vulnerable to attack)). While Donnie took a majority of the blast, Mikey’s left eye and shoulder weren’t entirely covered. Mikey’s left arm is weaker and he’s entirely blind in his left eye. His shell also took some damage, cracking the plastron and matching up to the wound in his shoulder.

Bottom right sketch:

Mikey: “I’m sorry… I’m sorry Donnie…”

Big city sketch of Donnie and Mikey on the rooftop I never finished:

Donnie: “What? What is it Micheal? Care to tell me what’s wrong with my face?”

Mikey: “No! Nothings wrong! Stop making stupid expressions!”

Hey Lia! I need some angst and love in my life so i was wondering if you could write a piece about Leo and Raph fighting over their S/O and they are torn between which turtle bc they love them both ;) I love you, hope you’re having a spicy day! :p

A/N: i'm not sure this is what you wanted XD, sorry in advance <3 also, ily too nonnie!

You had entered the lair, taking a deep breath hoping you wouldn't run into the two alphas. It wasn't that you were purposely avoiding them, no, it was that you were attracted to both of them. It couldn't have honestly been at the worse timing too, you already had so much chaos in your life as it was. Boy trouble was the last box you wanted to check. Luckily you couldn't hear much sounds coming from the lair anyway, it seemed to be relatively empty tonight.

A warm welcome from Mikey with a side hug from Donnie and you were already snuggled up in a blanket on the couch, watching Mikey play video games while your thoughts continued to run. Honestly, you didn't know who to choose. If you could date both, you would've.

Leonardo, god he was so adorable. The way he listened to every word that left your lips, he always so thoughtful and talked to you as if you truly were someone special. But then Raphael, the teddy bear persona he hid from everyone else but you made you feel so warm inside. Granted, he wasn't a poet like Leo but he certainly had a certain charm with words leaving you all happy after.

The dojo was closed, meaning someone was obviously in there. You knew without even thinking that Leo and Raph were sparring, knowing it was going to be a long and angry fight. Especially with all the anger they both had accumulated this week, from seeing each brother with you and their special bond that had developed. Their voices were a hushed whisper and no matter how much you tried to strain your ears, you couldn't make out their conversation, only that they defintely weren't happy.

"Why should you have her?? When we first met her, you couldn't care!-" "coming from you Raph! You almost scared her the first time we met!" You heard bits and pieces of their argument, their tone becoming progressively louder as their weapons clashed harsher with every stroke of their wrists.

"Ya don't even know how to treat a woman right fearless! You're so goddamn obsessed with training and patrol and frankly with that stick up your ass constantly, how don't you know she just won't dump ya?" Raph seethed, his sai blocking Leo's attacks while his older brothers gritted his teeth. "Oh? Because she's going to want a rambunctious, hot-headed, act on impulse, think he's tough guy?" Leo retaliated, ducking to block his punch.

"That's probably nothing, angelcakes! Ya know how they are..." Mikey awkwardly laughed, thrusting a controller in your hands. You nodded, a slight chuckle leaving your lips. "Right..." you couldn't help but feel guilty inside. If only you could make up your mind.

It had been a while later and you Mikey were halfway through a movie, feeling pretty content with being in the company of the youngest. He was great fun and an awesome person to hang out with. "Hey I'm gonna get some water" you patted his shoulder and he nodded, giving you a small smile. "Hurry back dudette! You'll miss the best bit!" He exclaimed and you playfully rolled your eyes. "Okay okay" you laughed, making your way to their kitchen.

"Y/N, hey! I didn't see ya come in" Raph's voice interruped you, his sour mood brightening seeing you enter the kitchen. You smirked, walking over to hug him. He was so sweet and gentle with you, your arms coming over to rest against his chest for a minute before retracting. "Well, yeah, cause you were in the dojo. How you been, red?" You smiled up, watching his lips curve in the most sweetest smile making your heart thump. "Been okay. Training, patrol, ya know the usual. How you been?" He patted your shoulder, wanting to embrace you again but knowing it would defintely come across as creepy. "You know, the usual. Stress, work, repeat" you chuckled, turning around and grabbing a glass of water. He let out a small laugh, his mind clearly occupied but before you could ask why, another joined in the conversation.

"Y/N? When did you come?" Leo smiled and you turned to greet him, a grin breaking out on your lips. "I've been here for a while" you hugged him, inhaling his scent before stepping back. You could sense Raph straightening his figure, his fingers curling into large fists by his side. He tension was so thick it could have been sliced with a knife, watching the intense staredown between the older brothers. You were so glad for Mikey.

"C'mon Y/N! You're missing the best bit!" He grabbed your wrists, acknowledging his brothers before taking you back and into the living room. They followed eagerly, trying to get a seat next to you. Raph sat on your right, Leo sat on your left and all eyes were trained on the movie. But throughout the movie, when one brother would joke around the other got jealous and tried to one up him resulting in two very annoyed turtles. But the final straw was when Raphael saw Leo place his arm around you and you simply laughing at him.

"That's it!" Raph groaned, standing up and staring his older brother down. Leo stood calmly, his eyes narrowed down at his younger brother in a threatening glance. "Neither can I" he sighed, looking at you. "Y/N, we both gotta know. Who do you prefer??" Raph talked impatiently, anger and nervousness settling in his veins with every second. You looked at both males with huge eyes, heart thumping as you knew you had to make a decision now. You looked back and forth, internally cursing at this situation.

"I-I choose...."

hey umm mao’s back story in the form of IM’s bc i’m a lazy fucker

tartypatoos icry bc growing up mao never hears the word woman or mom , and the idea that she's possibly not a mutant or not a turtle terrifies her bc it's all she knows

batalert Mao: idk who i am Babs: u is kind. u is smart. u is important. and u is my baby sis.

tartypatoos aaaaaa mao is just super upset the first time a villan tells her she's a human and sits her down and cross references her with the turtles

batalert Babs, cradling Mao's head while covering her ears: sHU T U P

tartypatoos and in her story line it's one of the things that destroys her and triggers her depression and the part of her story where she runs away , gets kidnapped and tortured by the shredder , then finds out he's her biological father

batalert me, suddenly remembering an under co Foot Clan oc i have: i wanna give Mao two sisters now if u wouldn't m i n d

tartypatoos aaaAAAA GIVE HERALL THE SISTERS

batalert KJHGKJFDHGDKJ NI C E

tartypatoos mao basically goes months without seeing the boys bc splinter had put her on a buss out of town so she'd be safe but she ran away and got kidnapped instead

batalert me, preparing a care packet for her: poor baby girl. poor baby.

tartypatoos yeee when she does escape splinter gets mad at first because he was sending her away to avoid this and it puts a wedge in their relationship

batalert n O ;A;

batalert P O O R B A B Y G I R L give her a break 2k17

tartypatoos ummmm n ever ?

batalert Babs, filling out adoption papers: we'll see about that hgfjghjgh Babs. ily. but p ls

tartypatoos thats actually when they find out about her maotations

batalert mAOTATIONS GOD i'll never be over that props to u

tartypatoos asdfghjk and she starts loosing her mind to the personalities of each one left over and warring in her head and not all of them are good ?

tartypatoos mikey gives them all nicknames some of them are like different aspects of her personality or personified emotions and then others are complete induvuals who know all of maos nlife and memories

batalert b OI IT'S LIKE INSIDE OUT BUT INSTEAD OF JUST EMOTIONS ALONE IT'S PERSONALITY ASPECTS BYE I'M SH O OK

tartypatoos yeah but like mutating is painful for her and she can feel them trying to take over constantly when she isn't mutated and she knows that hypothetically they could make her not ever exist in her own body again

batalert yeah and i'm just :') imagining her pained grunts and cries as she shifts . mutates and i'm :') not okay gIVE HER A B R E AK ah ahhahaha wow fuck that hur ts

tartypatoos y EP

tartypatoos

and raph starts to get scared when one takes over enough where she destroys her room , breaks the music box donnie gave her and comes seconds away from lashing out and slitting his throat

batalert B I H I STG pls fight Babs but also Babs being gentle with Mao after this shit instead of being afraid and just pets her hair like "it's okay, Mao. it's okay."

tartypatoos and its a tiny cut but only bc raph stopped her and he nows donnie is the person she cares about the most

batalert yes that's a Return Of The Joker ref and i'm hurting jhgghfgjf wELP

tartypatoos om g

batalert Raph: knows Donnie is the only one she cares about now Raph:

tartypatoos so she is horrified and immediately runs because she doesn't wanna hurt anyone else

tartypatoos and raph tends to donnie before deciding he's going to ' talk ' to her

batalert ah ahah haha "talk" when there's quotation marks that does not mean talk and i'm :''''')

tartypatoos he finds her crying on a rooftop and she hears him and she's so happy and she asks if donnie is okay then then he pulls out his sai's and she's just mortified because it hits her about whats about to happen

tartypatoos he chases her and pins her on a siderailing and she's going super unstable and he just looks her in the eyes as he stabs her before tossing her off into the street

batalert https://youtu.be/2LuGzwNy2ws?t=1m7s

tartypatoos also she gets hit by a car on the way down

tartypatoos but she doesn't die

batalert fUCK U??????????? STOP HURTING ME oh thank god

tartypatoos instead raph panics and runs bc she wasn't supposed to survive that bc now she can snitch on him and oh my god humans just found her and she'll tell everyone about them

batalert "bc now she can snitch on him" i know i shouldn't have but i fucking snorted so l o ud

tartypatoos asdfghjkl

batalert gfdkjgfkjghkjd

batalert "snitches get stitches" bITCH SHE NEEDS STITCHES BC SHE'S WOUNDED DAMN SON

tartypatoos ASDFGHJKL but she ends up admitted into a hospital in a three month coma and donnie finds out and basically is determined to break her out as soon as she's awake bc then she won't be under constant watch and raph lies and says it was shredder who did it so they don't know yet and on one of raphs shifts to watch her he skips and when it's donnies turn he freaks bc she's gone

batalert ah hah aha hah a i'm not okay fuck this fuck u bye i'm i need some fUCKING TIS SU ES STOP HURTING THE ABBY BABY

batalert FML

tartypatoos sdfghjkl turns out she did tell everyone she was just begging to go home bc mikey needs her and she wants to know if donnie is okay

batalert :')))))))))))))))))

tartypatoos but they can't find her long ass name on record and they assume she's just delusional

batalert

tartypatoos so she gets sent to a psychiatric ward and she's fine at first at least until someone tells her her family doesn't exist and she just looses it and she ATTACKS THEm

batalert mA O PLS FAM I STG GIVE HER A BREA K

tartypatoos so she gets put in solitary and drugged up and strapped to a table and pretty much is just zombified and they drive it into her head that none of her family exists

tartypatoos so when they do pin down her location they find her with a sheet over her body and face , strapped down to a table and when they take it off she just shows no emotion she's like ' oh my imaginary friends came back ' and it just crushes all of them

batalert and it just crushes my heart i

batalert need to lie down i am one wounded bITCH my friend :') i c b

tartypatoos they pretty much bring her home and she's completely numb emotionally and physically they had her so drugged she can't even stand they just lay her in her bed and wait in the next room just trying to figure out what to do

batalert imma go mobile till i fall asleep bc this stupid bitch hasn't slept all night bc again she's stupid so i'll be back in a few hours fjghfjhgjf

tartypatoos asdfghjkl

batalert pls spam me with anything else u wanna share if u'd like! i love coming back to cool stuff <3

tartypatoos s ame tho

tartypatoos aaaaaa oKIE

batalert sorry to poof i'm just so sore i feel death poking my lower bac k fghfkjghkjf i sHALL RETURN later fghfjgfhgj

tartypatoos YEEEEE basically they start fighting and it takes her like a week before the drugs wear off

tartypatoos and when they do she just wakes up to an exhausted donnie and a sleeping mikey and leo on her bed and raph is nowhere to be seen and she just starts crying and they all just hold her and splinter runs in and donnie asks her what happened and she just

tartypatoos she wont say

tartypatoos and when she falls asleep again donnie looks at her wounds and he just loses it bc he knows what shredder given wounds look like and that aint it so he runs to raph and just goes off enough to wake her up and her first reaction is to run /bCtHaTfIxEsEvErYtHiNg/

tartypatoos she makes it to the top of one of the skyscrapers and thats when everything hits rock bottom she blames herself and she /knows/ they'd be better off without her so she jumps but this time raph and donnie followed her donnie jumps after her and grabs he and they cry and scream at each other on the way down before last second metal head pulls them away from the ground

tartypatoos and they just cry together on a rooftop and that's when they realized they were being ambushed and donnie tries to block her from a blast of mutagen only for maoyonnie to be born

16. "If you want, we can go together?" You guessed it, M team and,,, make a challenge. NU verse ;)). ily flaux hehe.

Flaux:A bit of context here. This isa story in which Donnie got brain damage and acts like a kid. Formore please read No Use by the lovely fevertowrite.

Fivein the morning. Donnie had woken him up at five in themorning. They’d come home from patrol at one. For some reason—otherthan effing karma—Donatello’s condition had turned him into anearly bird.

Raphael’sshell was freezing as he moved around the kitchen. He tried glaring,but found himself unable.

“Notall of us can take naps in the middle of the day, Donnie,” hegrumbled, massaging the spot between his eyes.

Donnietilted his head, giving him a full gap-toothed, oblivious grin.

Athis sides, Raph’s fists clenched. Some days, seeing him like thiswere harder than others. Whereas before, Donatello wouldn’t even beconscious at this hour—unless unhealthy amounts of coffee wereinvolved—now he sat by the counter, swinging his legs in the air,grabbing fistfuls of dry cereal from a bowl, like there was not aworry in the world.

“You’respilling it.” It was too early for this.

Raphaelmoved forwards but before he could take Donnie’s bowl, the bratpulled it towards his plastron and turned away slightly. The angryflush reddening his cheeks clearly said, ‘Mine!’

“Iwas gonna help you?” He groaned when Donnie grabbed another fist offood, shoving it into his mouth. More cereal fell into the tiles.“You know what? Fine, do whatever you want.”

Donatellodid.

Helifted the bowl towards his mouth as if to drink, which would havebeen a good idea if this were soup.

“Agh!Donnie!” Raphael didn’t want to explain why the floor was coveredwith Fruit Loops.

Oncehe was done, Donnie set the empty bowl down on the counter with a bitmore force than he should have. The plastic clattered upon impact.This got his little brother’s attention.

Glowingwith excitement, Donnie raised the bowl again and shoved it againstthe counter again. Clank.

Thelook of delight on his brother’s face, made Raphael take one singlestep. “Donnie, don’t you dare—”

Clank.Smash. Smash. Clank.

“Stop!Gimme that!” His temper got the best of him, and he snatched thebowl from Donnie’s hands.

Theresult was instant. Donnie glanced up at him like Raphael had justturned off the TV during that damned dog show he liked so much. Hiseyes filled with tears and his lower lip quivered.

“Oh,no, no, no, no, no. Donnie, I’m sorry—” He offered the bowlagain, but Donatello smacked it from his hand, letting it hit thefloor.

Raphaelwinced at the sound. Everyone was still asleep, and if his brother’slittle concert didn’t wake them up, this certainly would. He raisedboth hands, reaching for Donnie. “C'me on. It wasn’t a big deal…”

Donniewasn’t listening. His previous choking sounds died and in their placeangry sobs replaced them. “Shit. Okay, okay calm down. Shh—Donnie, come on. Splinter’s asleep, you don’t wanna wake him up, doyou?”

Louderhowling.

“Mikey,Leo, they’re sleeping too and —Hey, hey! How about a game? Youwanna play? Let’s play!”

Sniffling.

Allin all, Raphael considered this a small victory. The lair was stillon sleeping mode, which was weird. But he wasn’t going to questionit. Besides, he couldn’t blame them. These days, looking after Donniehad become a full time, exhausting job.

“Comeon,” he said, sighing in relief once the silence returned.

Donnieleaped from his stool and Raphael reacted before it happened.

Hecaught Donatello right before he could hit the ground. His balanceproblems were still something they were working on. And now he neededto come up with some game to make up for upsetting him. There was noway he was playing sock puppets.

Butthe next idea might just work.

Donnieunderstood what was happening a little too late. By the time theyreached the dojo, he turned towards Raph with a set of round eyes.

Raphaelresisted the urge to groan, yet again. They needed to start workingon his balance skills, whether Donatello wanted to or not.

“It’sa game, this is – uh the game room.” That was a lie. This was theroom where Master Splinter handed them their shells at least once aday. It was also where Raphael had tried getting Donnie to—

Oh.Things became clearer then. He could see it in Donnie’s now shakingframe.

“Hey,nothing to worry about,” he said. “No yelling this time. We’rejust gonna play—“ Andwork on your balance.

Donnieclearly didn’t believe him. He pouted, glaring at the room like itwas a hornest nest.

Raphgritted his teeth together. This was unnerving. Mikey could get himto do anything with only a few words pf encouragement. Swallowingthickly, Raph squared his shoulders and forced up a smile. “Hey, ifyou want, we can go together?” he finished with a grimace.

Donatelloshook his head again.

Raphcursed at ceiling. His hands bawled into fists a couple of times. Buthe let out the frustration in a deep breath. This wasn’t working.This Donnie never listened. Raphael wanted his old brotherback. Not — not this child that had taken over.

Butthis wasn’t about him. It wasn’t about what he wanted. It wasabout Donnie. It was about the turtle in front of him and not thegenius that was gone.

Fornow. He reminded himself. Until they fixed him.

Inthe meantime, Raph would just have to put aside his comfort and prideand start acting like a damned, good brother for once.

Helet his hand reach forwards. And waited.

Browneyes landed on the gesture. Neither of them moved. And for a secondRaph considered backing off, and let his brother be until he regainedthe lost trust.

Donnie’sfingers clung, vicious onto the doorframe.

Ithurt. To see Donnie look at him like that. Like Raphael was the badguy. But he deserved it. The last time they had been in this roomtogether —as Raphael had so kindly put it—he had lostcontrol. He had been the bad guy. And despite his condition,Donnie clearly remembered it.

Nowonder Donnie rather spend time with Mikey. It’s not like the rest ofthem were actually trying their best. Leo certainly wasn’t.

Shakyfingers found his. Raph’s eyes snapped up. He hadn’t even realizedhe’d broken eye contact.

Andthere he was. Staring through the same, gentle, brown eyes. A littledifferent, maybe. But still his brother in some ways. Still Donnie.

“Together,”he said, and he meant it this time. He didn’t dumb it down as if hewere talking to damaged goods. But to his brother. Who even thoughnot a genius anymore, was still teaching them something new.

Together.

Donnienodded and smiled as they entered the dojo side by side.

Likeequals.
