Shattered Six by Awkward_jester

Summary
(Currently on an indefinite hiatus) The Hamato brothers are investigating a string of break ins, but things go terribly wrong when Donnie goes missing after awakening an ancient curse. Now tasked with going to the dimension he was sent to, their mission becomes a whole lot harder when they find not one Donnie, but six.
The second yokai’s attack made Donnie fly across the room. He slammed against the mirror, the sound of glass shattering echoing in the relatively quiet room. Donnie winced, the broken glass cutting his sensitive skin. He looked at his bleeding hands, the blood beginning to glow a bright pink.
Leo got up, teeth bared. His knuckles turned white, clenched around his crackling katanas. “Now you’re so going to get it.”
The smaller and bigger yokais charged to him, and Leo simply opened a portal underneath them. Their screams were cut off when the portal snapped shut. Leo turned to where Donnie was, only he wasn’t there. He wasn’t anywhere to be seen in the small room.
“Donnie?”

Summary
Sonic wakes up in a new industrial, completely inorganic Green Hills. He is determined to get to the bottom of this mystery, but things quickly becomes a lot more complicated than he originally thought.
Something solid crashed in his side, causing him to fly away. Sonic grimaced as he felt something crack. He rolled on the ground for a few times before finally stopping. Looking up, he saw a familiar, unchanged face looking down at him, gaze as hateful as ever. Metal Sonic?
“Tails, are you alright?” Metal asked, holding Tails' hand in his own. “It didn’t hurt you, right?”
Sonic froze. That was his voice. It might be a bit more robotic than usual, but it was his. Why on earth did Metal have his voice?
Tails shook his head. Metal nodded, patting his head. He almost looked pleased, which was odd since he only had one expression 100% of the time: Mad. When did he get to be so much more expressive?
“Good.” Metal turned to face him. The expression shifted back to one Sonic was more familiar with. “Now, let’s show this faker what happens when he messes with my friends!”

The Sanguine Softshell by KLS (kittylittersmoothie)
Fandom Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Cartoon 2018)
23 Jul 2025
Summary
"Emotions"— i.e., managing emotions, explaining emotions, and particularly naming emotions— had never been Donnie's area of great strength.
When the ponderous weight of the sky seems to settle itself upon Donnie's shoulders, the sanguine softshell resorts to secrecy and self-harm to conceal his burden— particularly so that he, too, does not become one.

The Sanguine Softshell
💜✅ Brews and Bandage (Rewrite) by KLS (kittylittersmoothie)

"...Donnie, where's your— your thing, your... emotionless passion?" —Leo, "Origami Tsunami"
💜✅ The Hang-Up by KLS (kittylittersmoothie)
It's been months since The Incident— and Donnie's made a promise that he'd never truly meant.A promise he'd been breaking since the day he'd made it.
Despite his overwhelming guilt, the burnt-out Donnie searches desperately for a purpose, a justification, to exist— but his motivation only dries up further, his food intake decreases, his eating habits fall apart... and the despondent longing to end it all grows stronger.
...Why had he ever thought feeling okay again would be easy?

"'I feel better already,' he said without a hint of sarcasm." —Donnie, Rise of the TMNT: The Movie
💜✅ Purple Patterns by KLS (kittylittersmoothie)
After months following a suicide attempt and months of reluctantly complying with new mental health precautions, Donnie remains utterly exhausted, despondent, and jaded— but, as long as his family tolerates and somehow cares for the shell of whom he used to be, Donnie must languorously serve his life sentence in the misery-reeking depths of his shadow-festering room….…Until his family grows sick of the soft-shelled burden at last, that is.

"What do you do if someone you love is obsessed with something that's bad for them?" —Raph, "The Purple Game"

Oooo very interesting. Wonder what the readjustment period would be like, and how it would change things in the future

Summary
It made no sense. The cure had been administered, Donnie was better now. Shell, he was even walking and talking when they escaped! But Donnie fell into a coma right as they come home. The nightmare wasn't quiet over yet. Mikey didn't know how much more fear and worry he can take.
And now Klunk keeps playing up....
"The medical room was a chaotic chokehold of questions and checks and running around. It was painfully real now. No denying it. Donnie wasn’t okay. This wasn’t his overactive imagination or too many horror films getting the better of him. Donnie really wasn’t okay. Again."
