Summary
Sometimes, on the rare nights they spend in bed together, Pomni will sit up by her side, and watch her sleep.
Usually she situates herself lower down the bed, like she wants to be small. She'll throw her arm over Pomni's waist and tuck the scarred side of her face against her side, right above her hip. She'll always start out sleeping restlessly, but her face will even out in dreaming.
Pomni will often reach out, to cup the back of her head with her hand, run her fingers through her hair, and stare at her peaceful, unguarded expression — and she'll think, selfishly, just to herself, I wish I knew your name.
(or: jax coming back from abstraction doesn't automatically fix everything. pomni struggles to reckon with it.)

Summary
"We were so worried, we heard you—" Ragatha starts, and then looks up. She meets Jax's gaze dead-on, and goes silent. Tears brim in the corner of her eye. Her hand flies up to cover her mouth. He can't tell if the look on her face is relief or fear.
Gangle's staring at him like she's seen a ghost. Pomni slowly raises to her feet, brows furrowed. She winces as every movement jars her wavering form.
Cowered on the floor, panting, confused and disoriented, with everyone standing above him, taller than him… it reminds Jax of something deeply unpleasant. They're all staring at him. They're all seeing him.
Jax knows they're not going to like what they see.
His breath quickens until his head is spinning, and he feels like he's going to vomit. He forces himself upwards with a frustrated cry, swaying in place, and then turns and bolts towards his room as fast as he can.
"NO!" Pomni screams.
(or: pomni pulls jax back from the brink.)

Summary
Booming footsteps sounded behind him. He could feel something—someone much bigger than him, breathing down his neck.
He didn't quite manage to process the situation in time.
Before he could whirl on his other opponent, a cattle prod was thrust into the back of his neck, paralyzing him with the force of the electric shock. Donnie's breath punched out of his chest, and he felt himself crumpling to his knees as someone roughly grabbed his arm. Voices sounded off around him, but he couldn't make out the words.
The last thing he saw as his vision went black was his phone (containing his tracker) clattering to the ground, and the unimpressed faces of his kidnappers disappearing as he was thrown over someone's shoulder like a sack of potatoes.
He'd barely even been able to fight back. How embarrassing of him.
(or: a group of sky pirates need a fuel source to power their ship. donnie's appearance presents them with a perfect opportunity.)

Summary
"Don't blame Leo for trying," Raph piped up, a bit tense, and Donnie immediately bit down on his lip to stop himself from shouting in frustration. "We kinda can't ignore it, buddy. You're always doing… y'know."
Donnie glared daggers at him. Raph flapped his hand around in lieu of an explanation.
"How articulate of you," he ground out, trying not to sound too offended.
"Y'know," Raph repeated, intelligent as ever. "Your thing."
"Your ninpo," Mikey interjected. "You do that thing. I think Barry called it projecting? With your feelings."
Donnie's heart sank into his stomach.
"I what?"
(or: despite his insistence, donnie doesn't actually function like a machine. he finds a way to try and change that.)

two steps forward, one step back by qolden

Summary
Self-improvement is not a linear path. It's not a game that can be min-maxed, or a project that can be simply completed before you move on. There is no such thing as a perfect version of yourself, and failure does not go away just because you're aware it's a possibility.
And sometimes, you get worse.
For Donnie, this is a monumentally difficult thing for him to come to terms with.

Podfic of where my armor ends.

Summary
It happens really fast and then really slow. He falls, splashes into the ocean, and keeps on falling. He’d instinctively squeezed his eyes shut, but the deeper he gets, the more his chest aches, and he pries them open. It stings. The dark creeps in quickly. He barely catches sight of Donnie swimming towards him before he actually reaches him. As Donnie pulls him up, the dark continues to flood his vision. The lack of oxygen emulates the feeling of a cerebral implosion, pressure squeezing at his brain and skull.
‘Can’t you be any faster?’ is the last thought he has before losing consciousness.
