    Summary

    ❝He stood up gasping and exclaimed quietly, ❝You ARE real!❞ Almost immediately, there was a visual in his mind of a dad laughing and a little toddler stumbling towards the dad. The dad was encouraging the child to come closer and closer, in the most loving and comforting way. No condemnation. Only love that he did not deserve.❞

    In which Donatello comes back from the SAINW world and is stuck in a cycle of sin and shame and needs a way out. In which Jesus finds another lost sheep and brings him home.

    Summary

    Months after the Krang invasion, Donatello begins to experience severe shell irritation. When tests reveal leftover Krang matter lodged deep in his shell from the Technodrome explosion, Leo and Draxum perform a delicate extraction procedure to save him. Recovery seems promising—until Donnie collapses weeks later and begins coughing up blood.

    After an emergency evaluation, Draxum delivers the devastating diagnosis: a rare, aggressive form of cancer, likely triggered by the Krang residue. As Donnie undergoes harsh treatment, Leo—driven by guilt, love, and fear—digs into his medical training, determined to find a cure. He refuses to let his twin slip away, even as Donnie weakens by the day.

    Summary

    Donnie finally cracks the code and has worked put how to turn a animal-baswd mutant human, at least temporarily. Now all he needs is a test subject and really, who better than himself, no one had more confidence in his work than him.

    Basically a one shot of donatello as a human feeling anxious and experiencing high school with a very flirty casey as his guide.

    What could go wrong?

    Summary

    Casey laughed awkwardly, rubbing the back of his neck and avoiding Raph's eyes. He shifted on his bed as his gaze bored into him.

    "We're just friends," Casey mumbled, looking around Raph's room distractedly.

    -

    Donnie laughed nervously as Leo stared, unimpressed.

    "I'm not in love with Casey, Leo. Sure, every time I think about hurting him it makes me want to go throw myself into the nearest lane of oncoming traffic, but that doesn't mean anything," Donnie chuckled slightly, anxiously tapping his fingers on his knees, "and no, it doesn't make sense to me either, otherwise I wouldn't be here."

     

    Or
    Casey and Donnie are oblivious, lovesick fools

    Purple couldn’t remember anything from before he was four.

     

    He didn’t know why his mind kept those memories trapped deep under lock and key, it’s not as though his father hadn’t repeatedly told him of that day.

    Summary

    The image of the buzzsaw flashed in Donnie’s head. The way it scraped and scraped against his plastron, when the uncomfortable fear turned into actual, blinding agony-

    “Yeah,” Donnie said. One hand moved to cover the scratch, but Leo, as always, moved faster and snagged his wrist. “But I’ve been patching myself up, I don’t need your help.”

    I don’t deserve your help, he did not say. Because they all knew, deep down, that Donatello provided a few useful gizmos, but it was outweighed by his constant mistakes and misadventures. All his brothers knew it, he didn’t have to say so.

    ———

    After the events of Smart Lair, where Donnie has been hurt, he tries to hide in the bathroom and handle everything himself.

    His brothers have other ideas.

    Summary

    Donatello has been... less than satisfied with his high school experience so far. So when he's given the opportunity to take an AP Computer Science class, of course he takes it without hesitating. What did you expect him to do? Say no to a coding class?

    Plus, there's this purple jacket wearing tech club that looks really cool.

    They seem like your everyday run-of-the-mill high school robotics geeks. Surely they won't be an issue for him...

    ...Right?

    Michelangelo isn’t Stupid by

    Fandoms: Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Cartoon 2018)  

    31 Oct 2022

    Tags
    Summary

    If you were to ask Donatello how he would describe his youngest brother, he would answer with “creative.” He would say very quickly after that he most certainly was not as stupid as the narrow-minded assumed he would be. He will happily argue for hours in his brother’s defence, but he realises that it doesn’t matter, not when Michelangelo believes it himself.

    It’s frustrating, and it hurts, and ridiculously ironic, because before Mikey had first stepped into his lab, he had thought the same degrading thoughts about himself.

    ~
    Basically, Donatello and Michelangelo bonding, because they are my favourite characters. Michelangelo had ADHD and Donatello is autistic. Also some Mikey angst because why not.

    "But at least we can restart?"

    —

    At the tender age of sixteen, Hamato Donatello was trapped in a new circle of Hell, along with everyone else. Thank you, Kraang, he thought sarcastically.

    It was an accident. That's how it started. It was no one's fault.

     

    Tl;dr: Future Donnie girlbosses his way to the past and includes more people into the family that previously contained Casey

    Donnie’s arm throbs, but he thinks it’s something that he’s imagining, and nothing major.

    How wrong could he be?

    Donnie, focused on tending to his brothers (and sister) more than himself, finds himself in a predicament. Takes immediate place after the events of the movie!

    Summary

    Maybe he’s wrong for thinking about it, but he can’t get her voice out of his head, the strange almost made-up sounding words she used to describe his bug-busting machine, and yet she had sounded so. . Prideful? It may just be wishful thinking, but she called him a /genius/, a twinkle in her eyes that he thought may have actually been /genuine/. She’d appreciated his hard work, his dedication to his craft, the effort he’d put into his tech, and although her motives were. . /Less than ideal/, she still praised him. Made him feel worthy, made him feel /appreciated./

     

    "Can't believe they had done such? Can't trust them? Perhaps can't. . /Stay/ with them?" He pushed, earning a pained whine as the vine constricted on the former's cracked, injured chest. "They have done nothing but hurt you, upset you, /use/ you. From what I've gathered, this has gone on for /years/. Perhaps you need a change in pace, a new life. . . I won't be like them. Come with me and become greater than this sorry husk of an abandoned warrior you are, truly live up to your full potential."

     

    Or: Donatello is in desperate need of parental validation
    Basically a separated AU with a twist :)

    Summary

    "Donnie braced a hand against the slick tile, his chest tightening as his breath stuttered. His circuits hummed, buzzing under his skin as though his own tech was betraying him. He shut his eyes, but that only made it worse.
    Leo, broken.
    Leo, gone.
    Leo, almost never coming back.
    His hand trembled as he reached out blindly, desperate for something—anything—to ground himself. His fingers closed around a bottle. Not his usual shampoo. Not the generic citrus scent he always used. No, this one was his twin’s"

    -or-

    The smell of Leo's soap brings comfort to Donnie, but having his actual twin comfort him might be even better

    Summary

    He sets a hand on his arm and meets boiling skin. His eyes widen because he was not that hot before, at least, he doesn't think he was. Raph sets a hand on his forehead on instinct, trying to pretend that he wasn't at a temperature where his brain should be melting with this kind of heat. He didn't think turtles could handle being this hot.

    He exhales, horrified. "Donnie?"

    He earns a single chirp. A weak plea that does nothing to express the fear that spills over as a fresh wave of tears.

    With presten clarity, Raph recalls the night's events.

    A single icepack is not going to fix this.
