    Summary

    He was a scientist, a scholar, and a ninja above all else. He prided himself on his intellect, and the fact that his mind had saved the lives of his brothers countless times.

    But he was also a soft-shelled turtle.

    And soft-shelled turtles bite.

    Summary

    Donnie liked puzzles, loved them actually. If you scouted his room, you could easily find crossword puzzles or Rubix cubes in every other nook and cranny. So much so that he would often step on something while trying to enter or exit his lab.
    This was different though.
    This was a lot different.

    [Or, Donnie gets nabbed by the Purple Dragons and angst ensues, the fic! Surely this will end well. Surely. Eventually. Maybe?]

    Summary

    (Chapter 20's here!!)
    ❗️ Cover Art Made by Me! ❗️

    ----------------------------------
    [ Welcome, Donatello. ]

     

    The lilac-colored text hovers over a small, silver pedestal, gleaming in an unseen light source. He looks around, but the world is black; no buildings, no familiar smell of the sewers, nothing feels safe here.

    “What do you want from me? Where am I?” He questions, though he already knows the answer. The text fades away, and a new one forms, typing as he reads it:

    [ Will you cooperate with us, or face the consequences? ]
    ----------------------------------
    Or,
    Donnie gets kidnapped and plays a game for his life, while also not playing the game to save his brothers' life.

    Summary

    This family is set out to make Raph's life hell, he swears.

    How are all his brothers so bad at taking care of themselves? Or relying on other people? Or just going to bed for goddamn once?

    (Not that Raph gets to talk-- But they don't know that, right?)

    ///

    Or, three times Raph had to convince his brothers to go to bed, and one time they returned the favor.

    (Or: Mikey’s sick, Leo has nightmares, and Donnie’s- Well. Donnie. Someone’s gotta take care of the kids.)

    Summary

    "No", he screamed as he pulled himself back from Leo. "Don't touch me! Leave me alone!" His words were slurring together, making them sound jumbled and messy.
    Eyes screwed shut in absolute fear, Raph curled in on himself and shivered.

     

     

    Or, Raph tries dealing with the trauma from being krangified alone until he just can't function properly one day.

    Summary

    It's been a few months since the Krang attack on New York and the Turtles are just now starting to see things fall back into place - back to "normal".

    Raph's road to recovery's been bumpy but he's okay, for the most part. Mikey's as chipper as ever, flexing his new mystic hands with style. And Leo? Leo's doing his best as the leader, keeping the peace while keeping things interesting the only way he knows how - by being his good old self.

    But Donnie's been working on something in secret - something that'll hopefully turn things around for the turtles, so nothing bad ever happens to them again. But the road to hell is paved with good intentions, proving once again that nothing can be normal for long in the city of New York.

    Summary

    The Battle Nexus is - at its very least - terrifying, but it's never empty.

    Every clang of an axe against a shield is greeted with furious and excited yells; every clatter of a sword hitting the sand erupts chants of "finish it!" among the spectators. Life in the Nexus is not a game. Rather, it's ending another's life that's the game, and living is merely an award.

    The only constant is the grim reminder that to win is to kill and your next battle may very well be your last.

    // or, a silly little separated au oneshot in which donnie somehow grows up under big mama rather than draxum. and as you can tell i very much enjoy writing hypotheticals; meant to be short and sweet because i am Burnt Out

    Summary

    In a small town bordering a monster infested forest laid Tommy, a boy like no other with a past forgotten with time. He was shunned by the villagers for something he couldn’t control, well, all but one. Dream was a man who had great standing and took him in when anyone else would have left him to die. He was Tommy’s sounder, his protector.

    So he turned a blind eye to Dream’s harsh treatment and questionable actions. Everything changes when Dream lets him go into the Nether with him on an expedition. When he meets the monsters he resembles so much like, when they take him with open arms despite his growls and loud protests.

    Alternatively: Tommy gets taken in by piglin SBI after being mistreated by humans all his life. He relearns what it means to be loved while carrying biases on his back that’s been drilled into him all his life. He wants nothing to do with them, yet at the same time he wonders why they treat him so much better then Dream ever did.

    Dream was sounder, he was protector. At least that’s what he once believed.

    Summary

    It’s dark. Cold. He’s back.

    Thick, ash-like particles scatter in the air. Writhing vines crawl up the walls and into the arcade machines, which flicker on and off like faulty lightbulbs. The whole room is gray, devoid of any music or life.

    And through it all, there’s a voice. One that Will’s come to know almost as well as his own.

    Come back, Will. Come home. Join us.

    Summary

    Will Byers is excellent at hiding.

    He’s been hiding his entire life. From monsters, from his friends, from himself.

    After the Mind Flayer leaves Will’s body, life returns to normal. Again. Except this time, Will’s friends are growing up without him. They’re having growth spurts and dating girls, while Will realizes there’s a lot more to him than he originally thought. There are emotions he’s finally finding a name for, thoughts that are starting to make sense.

    Will Byers hides more secrets than just his feelings, though. He hides the way lights flicker around him. The way objects move. The way his nose bleeds.

    But above all, he hides that there's still something lurking. Something in the coldest corners of his mind.

    [Canon divergence set after season two. Title from Starman by David Bowie.]
