"Those tight hugs they give you after coming home, and you just squeeze back and melt in them because they are your home"
Leonardo: After a long night of patrolling the city, Leonardo always looks forward to coming home to you. As soon as he steps foot into the lair, he seeks you out for one of his signature tight hugs. He envelops you in his arms, holding you close as if to reassure himself that you're safe and sound. And as you melt into his embrace, you can't help but feel like you're exactly where you belong, wrapped in the warmth of his love.
Raphael: Raphael may be tough on the outside, but when he comes home to you after a rough night, he can't help but let his guard down. His hugs are fierce and protective, but also filled with an overwhelming sense of love and affection. You squeeze back just as tightly, feeling all your worries and stresses melt away in his embrace. In that moment, you realize that he's not just your protector, but also your safe haven, the one person who makes you feel truly at home.
Donatello: Donatello's hugs are like a warm blanket on a cold night—comforting, reassuring, and full of love. After spending hours in his lab, working tirelessly to keep his family safe, he craves the warmth of your embrace. When he finally comes home to you, he pulls you close, holding you as if he never wants to let go. And as you squeeze back, you feel a sense of peace wash over you, knowing that in his arms, you've found your home.
Michelangelo: Michelangelo's hugs are filled with boundless energy and affection, just like the vibrant personality of the party-loving turtle himself. When he comes home to you after a day of adventures, he practically tackles you with his enthusiasm, wrapping you up in a tight embrace. You can't help but laugh at his exuberance, but you also feel your heart swell with love. In his arms, you feel safe and loved, like you're exactly where you're meant to be.

S/O fell off the bed sleeping with Raphael (Oneshot)
Raph x fem!reader (Short fic)
Summary: Raph's S/O fell down to the floor from sleeping with Raph. Reader is 5'2 or below. (Shoutout to short readers) :3
Raphael is both tall and broad. His body can cover an entire bed space; what more to say when y/n was only 5'2 and she wasn't exactly chubby nor slim. She's a thicc chick.
y/n decided to sleep over at the lair because 1) training with Splinter starts early morning and 2) her house was a 20 minute walk. She felt she was exhausted to walk and asked permission to sleep over. Of course the Hamato family didn't mind. She is their family now.
It was [12:45am] when their movie Halloween was over and Mikey switched off the tv when he grabbed Donnie's arm while shaking.
"D-Donnie, you don't think Michael Myers is in the sewers while we're sleeping, do you?"
"Mikey, you're referring to Pennywise and he's from IT. Halloween murders occurs every Halloween, like the title is self explanatory enough." Donnie let out an exasperated sigh. "Seriously, why did you pick that movie when you know you're terror-stricken by it?"
"We all know what's going to happen; you'd stay up all night reading any comics with funny scenes in it and laughed so loud even Sensei's noise cancelling headphones don't work." Leo shook his head.
y/n looked up at Raph confused. As if he knows what she's about to ask, he waved it off. "Sensei requested it after Mikey got his first stereo box. It was my fault though; I brought it back after I kinda broke Mikey's-"
"My skateboard, brah!" Mikey retorted.
~~~
Everyone was fast asleep by [1:17am] including Mikey- well, he's trying anyway. He cuddled his teddy bear and mumbled something pizzas and interacting with humans above.
y/n was slump on Raph's plastron/chest as it goes up and down slowly. His right hand placed on her back to keep her in position. To an outsider, it was a cute sight but from where's laid, she can faintly hear snores from her mutant boyfriend and groaned when it got louder. Her hand tapped on Raph's chest as a way to say keep it down but instead of lowering it down, he snorted in his sleep and surprised y/n, her body jolted from shock and ended up on the floor with a loud thud.
"Damn it, Raph." y/n whispered through her gritted teeth and rubbed her aching lower back.
Raph woke up immediately by the thud and saw her on the floor with an annoyed expression.
"What are you doing on the floor, darling?"
"Looking for any expired pizza under your bed," y/n rolled her eyes. "For god's sake, Raph, snore louder next time. I can't hear it from down here."
Raph chuckled tiredly and carried y/n back to bed, placing his arm around her while he lied on his side.
"Did you hurt yourself?" he didn't forget to ask.
"I might break my hips. Maybe I should skip-"
"You ain't skipping Sensei's training." His eyes already closed but his lips formed into a coy smile.
Due to the fact that I often reblog various things, and my future works will be lost in the depths of my blog, I have decided to create a clean masterlist for navigation for you!

Putting their foreheads together and just being content with each other's presence
Leonardo: Whenever Leonardo feels overwhelmed by the responsibilities of leadership or the weight of the world on his shoulders, he seeks solace in your presence. One of his favorite ways to reconnect with you is by gently resting his forehead against yours, closing his eyes and letting the warmth of your touch wash over him. In those quiet moments, he finds peace and comfort, knowing that you're always there for him, no matter what.
Raphael: Despite his tough exterior, Raphael has a soft side that he only shows to those closest to him. When he's feeling particularly vulnerable or in need of reassurance, he'll seek you out and press his forehead against yours, relishing in the warmth and intimacy of the gesture. In those moments, all his worries and fears melt away, replaced by a deep sense of contentment and love for you.
Donatello: Donatello's mind is always racing with thoughts and ideas, but when he's with you, he finds a rare moment of stillness. He loves nothing more than pressing his forehead against yours, feeling the connection and understanding that passes between you without the need for words. In those quiet moments, he feels a sense of peace and tranquility, knowing that you're the one person who truly understands him.
Michelangelo: Michelangelo's boundless energy and enthusiasm can sometimes be exhausting, even for him. But when he's with you, he finds a moment of calm amidst the chaos of his daily life. Pressing his forehead against yours, he revels in the quiet intimacy of the gesture, feeling a deep sense of contentment wash over him. In those precious moments, he's reminded of how lucky he is to have you by his side.
Everybody else, g'day! 🤗 My name is Hannah. I'm 27 and, yes, Australian 🇦🇺
As my handle states, I had a blog prior to this one (tinkabelle19) that I recently deactivated, due to personal reasons.
I'm starting anew, hoping to fall back in love with this platform and the stories I've devoted years to.
I write TMNT fanfiction and have several OCs, all of which I'll include in this post... along with their dedicated playlists. 😁
Alright, I think I've talked enough - onto the content!

Recap: s/o dropped Donnie's mutagen canister and he got mad at her for it, which he didn't mean to. now he has to find a way to reconcile with her.
Read Part 1 here
Genre: comedy, fluff ending
Lord, forgive the poor 6'8 foot turtle for being this clueless despite being the brains out of his brothers.
He's a mutant. Just guide him fr. Tell him what to do, the poor thing.
The turtles had no experience interacting with humans - humans are hard to understand in terms of personality, emotions, actions and interests. There's a lot but that was all the author can list down.
When Donnie became the first turtle brother to become intimately involved with a mate, a human, he was so thrilled he went up to Raph's face which pissed off the red masked turtle more. He had to tackle down his braniac brother but it didn't work when Donnie just chuckled like he was 10 years old.
You and Donnie were happily together for 8 months, so there weren't a lot to uncover between their relationship since you were working all week and only visited the lair at night or weekends. You won't likely see them at night since they're either patrolling or fighting off criminals far from their lair.
You both had disagreements but it never escalated to arguments or fights. The mutagen spill was not even close to an argument; it was only Donnie lashing out on you and you were too emotionally exhausted to respond.
'The highway looks good right now' You'd think once a while. (A/N: im sorry i had to. my intrusive thoughts won this round)
Donnie was pacing back and forth in the living room with Mikey sipping on his soda drink watching his smart brother contemplating a plan before going to you. He's just mumbling the possibilities and the outcome in case you reject his forgiveness.
While he racks his brain, Mikey has had enough, throws his paper cup and does the unexpected; smacking Donnie's face and he stopped. Completely.
"Did you just-"
"You can kill me later, D, but while you waste time mumbling gibberish or whatever language you use in that lab, y/n could be dead as we speak."
Raph, who heard the whole conversation, tried to intervene. "Oi, numbnuts. Stop with that crap or you'll make it worse for the idiot."
Donnie's narrowed eyes switched to Raph. "You know, you need to tone down with the nicknames you're giving us. At least come up with a better one." Raph cracked his knuckles but Mikey stepped in between them before it gets worse.
"D, listen, we know how much you love y/n. We love her too. Instead of thinking about what's about to come, why not you start by saying you're sorry to her? All she ever wanted when she came by was you comforting her but Leo did that in your stead. She had a bad day but you made it worse."
It was the first time Mikey ever talks in a serious manner and actually talks with sincerity. No puns, no giggling and not even involving pizza in the conversation.
Leo just finished his self training and found his 2nd and 3rd brothers 'examining' his 4th youngest brother on the medical table. He stood frozen for a while until Mikey yelled out for help which he reacted and jogged to them.
Instead of being serious, Leo watched in amusement. "This better be good."
"Mikey was advising Donnie about what to do for y/n-" Raph started, "-and he didn't even mention pizza. What do we do, Leo? Should we interrogate him?"
Leo faked thinking, tapping his chin. "This sounds serious. We should cut him open. Donnie?"
"All ready." Donnie took out all equipments including a saw and Mikey screamed bloody murder.
"Master Splinter!!" Mikey cried, legs waving about.
Instead of running to their direction, Splinter worked on his Japanese plants and casually smells them. "Play nice, boys." he said without concern for the chaos that's happening.
"Noooo." Mikey basically whimpered by their jokes have gone too far. They all just laughed around the youngest and when they're satisfied, they released him. "Not cool, guys. I was only trying to help. When you held me down like that, I called for reinforcements."
"Oh, who? Ice-cream kitty?" Raph laughed, earnings high-3s from the others. (A/N: just using some characters from 2012 universe)
"Mikey, are you alright?!" Your voice boomed the lair, your untied hair flying around as you ran inside the lair.
You stopped to catch your breath and Donnie's attention turned to you, his beautiful mate. You were dressed casually in joggers, black tank top and an oversized plaid shirt. Your clavicular area was covered in sweat, which says you were running to the lair from Mikey's distressed call.
"y/n," Donnie swallowed. You had long forgotten about what happened and turned to him.
"Hey," you breathed out. "Is your brother okay? Is he hurt?"
"He's fine," Raph answered instead. "We were just messing around."
"You strapped me to the table! That's animal abuse!"
"Oh, you gotta be kidding me!"
Donnie trailed towards you, his eyes looking up at yours since you were on the higher steps of the stairs. "I-I missed you, honey."
You coo'd at the nickname he always calls you and hold his face in your hands. Your noses touched. "I missed you more, munchkin."
He pulled your form into his and dug his face in your neck. "I'm sorry for pushing away when you needed me the most. I was selfish, uptight, and stupid. You're the love of my life and I will never push you away like that again," he sneak a small peck near your collarbone. "Please forgive me." His voice cracks.
"I hate you," that made Donnie's heart stopped for a moment. He was about to pull away to look at you but you pushed his head back and his ears landed where your heart beat was. "I hate that you don't come to me when you had a rough day and kept it bottled up inside. I hate you for trying to solve everything and when it didn't go your way, you beat yourself up for it. I want to hate you but I imagined life without you.. God. I cried everyday thinking you hate me for dropping that mutagen canister."
He felt your hug tigtens and when you sniffed, he forcefully pulled away and saw you crying.
"I hate myself for doing this to you," he wiped away the tears gently from your eyes. "If there's anything I can do, tell me. I'll gladly perform seppuku for you."
All brothers interjected at the same time. You turned to them confused.
"What's a--"
"Donnie!" Leo barked and covered your ears. "Are you insane?! If you do that, who's going to hold her?"
Donnie facepalmed. "Right."
Leo uncovered your ears and it just confuse you even more. "Seriously, what's a--"
"Doesn't matter, honey." Donnie kissed your lips, which you responded immediately, his hands went under your shirt touching your skin. He pulled away and flashed his smile which you missed most.
