Tattered Cloak Chapter 1 - Sneak Preview
This is still in progress, but I wanted to give you a sneak peek of the first chapter of my latest Donnie X Reader fic.
This is set in the same universe as Purple Hoodie and Prince Charming's Jacket, set a few years after the conclusion of PCJ.
I will note however this can be read as a stand alone (you'll see why MWAHAHA), with only some minor references to the prior fics.
Tumblr media
Chapter 1 - Read More Below The Line:
“Fucking hell, do I need to rewrite this whole section?” 
Digging your elbows into the wood of your desk, you buried your face into your hands. The aching of your back mocked you as a long groan left your lips. 
After expending all the air from your lungs, you slowly leaned back in your chair, staring up at the cement of the ceiling. 
Your thoughts ran laps throughout your head, as you tried to recall every detail of the tale you were crafting. Yet no matter how hard you tried to wrangle your thoughts, the words jostled around your mind, still a jumbled tangled mess. 
Eventually your gaze returned to your monitor and with a sharp huff, you slammed your pointer finger against the backspace key.
The frantic cycle of typing and deleting the same 3 lines seemed to continue for ages, until a chipper voice caught your attention.
“Yo! Y/N!” 
A blur of purple whipped around you, eliciting a chuckle from your lips.
“Shelldon, what’s got you so giddy?”
Swirling to a stop in front of your chair, the bot buzzed with delight.
“Come on! I’ll show you!”
Slipping between your back and the chair, he pushed you forward. As you clumsily landed on your feet, Shelldon clutched onto your arm and tugged you towards the door.
“Alright alright!”
Exiting the door to your office, you hurriedly followed the bot through the lab. The monitors flashed around you as you and Shelldon darted past the piles of scrap metal and wires. Turning a corner the scent of stale coffee hit your nose. Several cups lined the edge of a working station, while another few laid precariously on a box.
With a slight chuckle, you turned your attention back towards Shelldon, trying to keep up with his rampant pace. 
Finally exiting the large metal doors of the lab, you appeared in the main foyer of the lair. Giggles and murmurs of chatter bounced off the walls, and you could see a large group congregating in the center of the room. Three of the turtle brothers and Cass stood next to April as she seemed to ramble on about something.
But as you stepped closer, it was the sight of the tall black haired man that caused you to yell in excitement.
“Casey!”
The man turned towards you and smirked back, giving you a wave. Jogging over, you pulled him into a tight hug and grinned.
“So glad you could make it.”
“Of course! Wouldn't miss it for the world.” He laughed, “Also if I did I think Raph would never let me hear the end of it.”
The eldest brother let out a laugh and placed a firm hand on Casey’s shoulder. 
“No. No I wouldn’t.”
The group all laughed for a moment, until Casey gave another confused look.
“Wait but where’s Donnie?”
“I’m guessing he’s out giving his hoverbike another test run.” You chuckled.
“You think?” Raph asked, brow raised.
“I don’t have a tracker on him.”
“Nah that’s more his thing.” April chuckled.
A few more laughs echoed out, until Raph spoke again.
“Aren’t you two getting married this weekend? Shouldn’t you, I don’t know, be doing wedding things?”
“Listen we’re keeping it lowkey, or well Donnie low key, but you know your brother. He had an automation system programmed and tested 3 months ago for this thing. All I have left to do is go to my final fitting with Irma and practice my vows.”
“I guess.” Raph sighed, “Well so long as you guys are all set or whatever.”
“We should be happy they’re actually doing this!” Mikey smirked, “I was worried it was never gonna happen.”
“Yeah, speaking of which April you still owe me that sushi dinner.” Leo chuckled.
“For the last time, I’m not cashing in a bet from 3 years ago.” April groaned.
“Fine double or-”
“Would you two cut it out?” Raph groaned.
With that, another series of chuckles leapt out.
“Well dinner’s just about done.” Mikey smiled, “Y/N you want to go figure out where Donnie is and meet us in the kitchen?”
With a nod, you walked towards the entrance of the lair and clicked on your comm.
“Hey D, what’s your eta back?”
There was a full minute of silence before your comm chirped.
“Oh, sorry, about 10 minutes.” The voice called from your wristband, “I just need to run one more aim assist test and I can head back.”
Fluttering your eyes, you stared at your wrist puzzled.
“Aim assist?”
“Yes for my delivery service drone contract.”
“Delivery- wait when did you get that?”
“Like 3 weeks ago- oh wait… It’s possible I haven’t informed you of it yet.”
“Nah I guess not.” You chuckled.
“Well I’ll have plenty of details to ramble at you at a later time then. And then you can tell me all about what Derek and Shiloh are up to in your latest chapter.”
“Oh I um- I sent that manuscript out for review last week. I already started my new space travel book. I um... Guess I didn’t tell you.”
“Ah well excited to hear about it nonetheless.”
“Yeah, same here. Um, just make sure to get back quick. Casey’s here.”
“That’s today?!” Donnie exclaimed.
Yep.”
“Ugh, update eta to 5 minutes. I’ll be home shortly.”
“Safe travels.”
“Thanks.”
With a smirk, you headed back out to join the others.
When Donnie finally arrived in the kitchen, every eye turned towards him.
“It’s our long lost brother!” Leo exclaimed.
Leaping from his seat, the blue brother wrapped his arms around Donnie, lifting him slightly off the ground.
“By golly brother I never thought I’d see you again!” Leo said in a poorly mimicked southern accent, “I never thought you’d make it home from the war!”
Donnie wriggled in his brother’s grip.
“Leo I was just- why are you like this?”
Before Leo could respond, Raph butted in.
“Maybe if he saw ya more than once a month there wouldn’t be a need for theatrics. Now eat ya ‘za, it's getting cold.”
“Whatever.” Donnie said rolling his eyes,
As dinner progressed, the group threw question after question at Casey, asking about his travel and what he had been up to during his latest travel excursion. However as he was telling some story, a voice echoed from the entrance of the kitchen.
“Hey everyone! I’m back!”
“Irma!” You exclaimed, “I thought you weren’t going to be back until tomorrow!” 
“I got an earlier flight.” She giggled, “Besides it's your big day, so we need to get up to shenanigans or whatever. It’s my duty as your maid of honor.”
“You’re so sweet-”
However Irma was lifted up off the ground as the red turtle scooped her up.
“I missed you boo-boo bear.” He smiled.
“Raph!” Irma blushed madly, “I was only gone a week!” 
“Yeah but I get worried when you go on your big scary missions and what if something happened?”
Irma rolled her eyes as she tried calming the eldest brother down.
And with a chuckle, you headed back to your own seat and plopped down next to Donnie.
“We’re not gonna get like that right?” You grinned.
Donnie shook his head.
“By Einstein's beard no.”
The rest of dinner went smoothly as everyone went into the foyer to watch a film.
“We should watch something romantic to commemorate the week.” Irma giggled as Raph filtered through the movie choices.
“Enchanted’s cute!” Mikey called out.
“Or Princess Bride?” Shelldon suggested.
“Die Hard!” Cass shouted.
“Well Lou Jitsu and the Radiant Samurai is a good one” Splinter chuckled
As Raph and Irma debated between choices, Casey turned to Leo and Mikey.
“Hey when are Usagi and Peace Corp getting here?”
“How does that name keep sticking?” Mikey yelled, “They have a name you know and it’s-”
“Peace Corp, we know.” Leo grinned.
Eventually the teasing ceased and the movie The Holiday was selected. You leaned against Donnie’s side as the film played on the screen. But just as the plot was beginning to pick up, you fell asleep.
You awoke later to a blanket wrapped around you and the pillows next to you, empty.
And looking around it seems most of the group had broken off, only leaving April, Casey, Cass and Mikey.
Rubbing your eyes, you saw a dark forest with a fairy and some bug-like man flying around on screen while singing a cover of some pop song. After a moment, you figured out they must have put on that movie Strange Magic. With a yawn, you stretched and slowly stood up.
“I’m off to bed.” You chuckled.
The rest of the group waved as you headed out of the room.
When you returned to the lab, you found Donnie deep in some code. 
“Grinding the late night oil?” You laughed.
“Uh-huh.” He seemed to murmur.
“You …going to bed soon?”
However the turtle just grunted back.
“Come on.” You grinned, “I think it’s time we both called it a night.”
And after a groggy nod and a sleepy kiss, the two of you headed off to bed.
The next morning, you woke to Donnie sprawled across the bed. One of his legs was thrown over your thighs, while one of his arms hung off the bed. With a roll of your eyes, you gently slipped out from underneath him and tucked him more firmly onto the mattress.
He seemed to murmur something, but you just whispered back at him.
“Go back to sleep, I'll make coffee.”
He grunted as he buried himself back into the pillows.
After checking some emails from your publisher and agent, you headed back to make some coffee. The grinder whirled around as the beans shredded against the blades. And with a steady hand, you gently pressed the grounds into the espresso machine cup. The smell of coffee filled your nostrils as the liquid seeped down slowly into your mug.
However as you began to work on the second cup, a noise caught your attention. There in the doorway stood Casey.
“Morning!” You smiled, “Coffee?”
“Sure.” Casey grinned.
“Sleep well?” You asked as you pulled out another mug.
“Yeah I did. It’s nice to be back.”
“We’re glad to have you back.”
“Oh.” Casey said as he seemed to recall something, “April told me a bunch of us might get lunch later today. You and Donnie coming?”
“Oh cool! Let me check what time my meetings are, and if I can, I definitely will. No idea on Donnie though, but I can ask him when I bring him his coffee.”
Casey stared for a moment, almost lost in thought and then a chuckle left his lips.
“You um… man timelines are weird.”
Placing the cup down gently, you turned back to Casey with a confused look across your face.
“Oh sorry I just…” Casey spoke slowly, “It’s weird. You’re like so different from my timeline. But also, not?”
You kept your expression soft. Casey would occasionally speak of his original timeline, but never too in depth. Just general overarching details.
“Oh really?” You gently pressed.
Casey seemed to turn his gaze away and the panic welled up in your stomach.
“Hey, you okay? I’m sorry if I-”
“No it’s not you.” Casey sighed, “I just. I guess… I should have given this to you a long time ago. But I feel like now's a good time.”
Casey tapped on his armband and the screen flipped up. Pressing his finger against a slot, a small USB appeared. Pulling out the rectangular chip, he walked closer to you and placed it gently in your hand.
“You… you wrote this.” Casey breathed out slowly, “It was like your memoir or I guess… like a diary.”
“My… diary?” 
“Yeah I- um. It helps me remember the old times. You talk about me a lot.” He chuckled.
“I- thank you, but why- Are there others?”
“No. Just yours. You were the only one who ever wrote one. Well Donnie had some audio logs, but they were never personal. Just analytics and shit. But I think you should read it.”
“I’ll… I’ll think about it.” You nodded.
Casey nodded back. 
After gently handing him his coffee, the man disappeared back into the lair.
You stood for a moment, staring at the little chip in your hand. But with a quick tuck, you stuffed it in your pocket and finished making Donnie’s coffee.
When you returned with the purple turtle’s coffee, he was still out cold, bundled up in the blankets and pillows. You left his drink on his nightstand and after a quick kiss on his head, returned to your office. 
When you sat at your desk chair, you just watched the steam from your mug flicker into the air. A million thoughts buzzed around your head as you stuck your hand in your pocket and slowly pulled out the USB.
And with a nervous huff, plugged the chip into your computer.
A green page appeared on screen, with bundles of words clumped together.
I know no one will probably ever read this. Well except maybe Shelldon or Casey(skip past the marked sections by the way you two), but I want a place to write everything down. Out of all the stories I’ve ever written, I think it’s time I finally wrote mine.

So sorry for the long absence!
I am so sorry that I literally fell off the face of the planet.
To answer some concerns, don't worry I'm okay, life's just thrown some crazy curveballs my way and it's taken a bit to reorient.
And honestly through a lot of it I cannot tell you how much I missed posting and missed all of you.
I cannot express how thankful I am to all of you. All of your kind comments, asks checking in on me, really made me smile. Like when shit got tough, I cannot tell you how much your kind words have really helped me through a lot of it.
I seriously appreciate every single one of you and I want to actually be back soon and posting consistently again.
AND AS A THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE:
I have been working on Tattered Cloak in the background as I've had time/mental energy and I have about 5 chapters left to write.
And to share my gratitude by post the rough draft of the first chapter for you all to view in a couple of hours.
Again just thank you so so much. I am so grateful for this wonderful, talented and amazing community that has accepted me and shown me such kindness.
Love you all and will be back more consistently soon.

Is there anyway we can support you better in making them game?
And is fanart allowed?Weired question ik but I just wanted to make sure dienkwkwkekqke
Anyways remember to eat,sleep and drink enough!
Thank you so much!! That's so kind of you to ask!!
There's a few ways people can help if they'd like!
Feedback/Bug Reporting: If you play the demo and anything is confusing or frustrating or even if you want to mention something you like and want to see more in the full title, leave that here: Bug/Feedback Form
Fake Social Media Posts: I'll eventually make a form for this but will let you know now if you wanna think ahead! To make the social media section seem realistic I'll need lots of fake posts to filter through! So if you have a post you think someone from the ROTTMNT crew would make feel free to leave it!
Puns: I love puns but I'm terrible at thinking of them, and Leo will be a part of the game so if you know of any puns that he might post online or say in a text convo feel free to suggest them. Again I'll make a form for this, but feel free to think ahead!
Character Creator: Please let me know if there are certain hairstyles, clothes, colors, body types, etc, you'd like to see in the character creator. The one I have right now is VERY basic, but I want to make sure everyone feels like they can see themselves in the game, so if there is something specific you'd want to see in the characters creator let me know. (I may add this to a form as well!)
And regarding fanart of course! I am always super honored when people make fanart 💕💕💕 You all are crazy talented and creative so I love seeing stuff and feel free to tag me so I can see it!
THANK YOUUU regarding sleeping/eating. You all are so supportive and always tell me to take care of myself and can I tell you, you all have me sobbing. Thank you for being so kind and caring 😭😭😭

OH EM GEE
Every time you post about a new creation my mind explodes.
I do have a question. What programming language do you use? Also, do you use Visual Studio Code or something else?
Ahhh thank you so much! I am so glad you enjoy the stuff I post that means so much to hear <33333
Yeah sure! Happy to explain what I use!
I do use Visual Studio with the Unity Engine! And I draw all my art in Pixaki!
I love both, I've been using both for years and they've been great! Happy to answer any other questions you may have too!
