Hey idk if you're still doing requests but maybe some april angst after finding out irma was a robot? Like maybe she liked her but whoops turned out her crush was a kraang spy
“For- for almost two years-” April exclaimed miserably. “-I thought she was my. My best friend. And then she turned out- out to be a Kraang.”
Donnie gave her shoulder a pat, pushing towards her the third cooler the two of them were sharing that evening. Also a tissue box.
April used the tissue first, blowing her nose noisily. “It’s not fair. I think I’ve finally found an- another lesbian in my school, and she’s a spy. A spy sent to spy on me, and- dammnit, she was so cute, too. No girl with that hairstyle is straight.”
“If it’s any consolation, at least you never actually made out with her,” Donnie said, patting her back again. “Otherwise. Well.”
April shuddered, and reached for the cooler. She was underage still, but her city had been invaded, one of her best friends was in a coma, and her long time crush was actually an alien infiltrator. She was allowed to indulge, dammnit.
Technically speaking, Donnie was also indulging right alongside her for those same reasons, if with different circumstances.
“I nearly did make out with her one time,” April said in a softly horrified voice.
Donnie hummed sympathetically.
“Under the track bleachers. It was so cliche it hurt,” April thought about how Irma- or Kraang Subprime- had tactfully dodged the moment right after, since the football team had come barreling onto the track for laps. Now she knew why.
April took a long sip of the cooler.
“Donnie, why couldn’t I have that stupid rom-com moment unspoiled? Why does everything in our lives have to be an action-horror flick?”
“I don’t know, and honestly I really wish it was otherwise, too,” Donnie sighed, and took the bottle back from her for his own turn. “But hey. At least you got a rom-com moment and a glimmer of things actually working out. Casey is. Casey.”
April took a turn patting his back. This was a mutual pity party, after all. “We have very, very bad taste in crushes.”
“Good god we do.”
“Upside to yours is that he’s human. Probably.”
“That stands to be proven true or not. He ate half of Mikey’s improvised gumbo yesterday. I don’t know how he’s alive.”
“The miracle of love,” April said.
“Devil’s luck more like,” Donnie muttered.
April reached across the kitchen table, and dragged the box of coolers towards them both. Time for another drink.

Have some good old fashioned Kunoichi Squared for the soul. <3
“If I’d known he was going to break my foot, I would’ve kicked him in the face a lot harder.”
April hums, listening with half an ear to Karai’s grumbling.
“At least fifty times more. Possibly a hundred.”
“I don’t think humans can exert that much force,” April says, drawing a swirl of color across Karai’s cast.
“Watch me do it anyways,” Karai says in the most belligerent tone she can. “Fucker broke my foot. This is irony I won’t stand for.”
“And that would be why he’s in thirty different pieces and at the bottom of the bay, correct?”
Karai slouches further into the couch cushions, dramatic and simmering with anger. “Should’ve made it sixty.”
April grins, and adds a doodle of Karai’s grumpy face to the cast. “Shush, you’ve been needing some vacation time anyways. We can go somewhere nice while you heal up.”
“I’m a worldwide infamous crime lord. I make adult men and women piss themselves just by glaring at them, I run an empire I re-founded from the ground up, I’ve fought monsters and men for most of my life and killed almost all of them with my own two hands- I don’t take vacations.”
“Well, now you do,” April says, and snickers as Karai makes the most disgusted sound a human possibly can.
“I’m going to go insane,” Karai says, covering her eyes and laying her head back. “The most I’ll be able to do is paperwork. I can’t show myself to anyone until this stupid thing-” April holds away her marker as Karai twitches her injured leg. “-is off, and I just know someone will try something stupid while I’m away.”
“Which is why Shini is watching the Foot, and taking your place in making grown adults pee themselves in fear,” April says calmly, restarting her doodling process. A smug, catlike Shinigami face is added beside the grumpy Karai one. “Just until you get back to breaking people’s noses with your heel, promise. And I’ll be with you the whole time, so you won’t be too bored.”
Karai peeks out from under her arm, and gives April an appraising look. “And how exactly are you going to keep me from being bored?”
April smirks, and waggles her eyebrows. “I have my ways.”
“Miss O’Neil,” Karai says slyly. “Implying such things so early in the evening? How forward of you.”
April turns faux innocent. “I have no idea what you’re talking about, Oroku-san.”
Karai snorts, and crooks a finger. “Get over here, goof.”
April caps her marker- she’ll finish her masterpiece later- and slides up the couch dutifully. Karai’s lips are makeup free, courtesy of one Shinigami demanding her Senpai take it easy in every way, and April kisses them with all the gentleness her girlfriend deserves.
Their legs are arranged to avoid hurting Karai’s foot, and April winds her herself around Karai with care. The large couch cushions are wide enough to accommodate the snuggling, and it makes for a comfy cuddle spot.
“So maybe I won’t be all that bored,” Karai admits, letting April brush stray bangs from her face.
April grins, and pecks her on the cheek for the admittance.
(Please consider buying me a Ko-fi, so I can keep busing to work!)
Um, for fics, maybe y'gythgba and renet traveling through time together. Y'gythgba could try to enter a medieval jousting tournament or something? It's sorta my new favourite rarepair xx
this is also my favorite ultra rarepair lmao.
Armor makes very interesting clanking noises, once someone’sdented it irreparably with their fist. Renet discovers this firsthand, becauseshe botched a time jump- again, argh- and landed herself and her totally smokinghot girlfriend in a medieval era. Again.
Thankfully, Y’Gythgba is A) really cute with her unimpressedeye rolls towards the other knights, B) actually seeming to have a lot of funbeating up people, and C) giving Renet loadsof great angles to snap pictures from.
Her gf- which Renet nevertires of saying, even just to herself- is to-tal-ly on fire today. She doesn’t even need a weapon to beat the poorschmucks; she just has to grab their helmets, hold them in place, and punchthem until someone calls defeat.
Tournaments are the bestidea humans ever came up with. Fancy clothes for everyone, cuties in armorbeating one another up for other cuties in the stands- Renet will totally bebringing up the idea of them making a comeback, soon as Y’Gythgba drops her offback home after their date.
Y’Gythgba finishes her dual with the knight, and drops hislimp body onto the muddy ground; raising her fist in victory and elicitingcheers from the crowd. They’ve been calling her the Demon Knight, but Y’Gythgba seems to actually really enjoy the name, so neither Renet or her girlfriend have discouraged the nickname.
Wow she looks gorgeous, all dusty and attractively mussed from fighting.
Renet snaps another picture, and immediately posts it to herprofile on the ultranet.
Jealous? Can’t touch,she’s all mine XD! #datenight She tags the description. Her friends start commenting afew seconds later, various levels of damngrrl ur so lucky!! and #gfgoals.
A thunk on the wooden railing in front of Renet breaks hersnappy text back, and she blinks at the appearance of Y’Gythgba right in frontof her; the alien warrior leaning on the railing casually, her wide yellow eyes catching the light so they turn gold.
“My lady,” Y’Gythgba says with a sly smile. “I was told tochoose someone to dedicate my victories to. I believe you’d be open to thatdedication?”
Renet feels her cheeks go hot, and she extends a handtowards her girlfriend. “I’m like, totally open to that idea. I always wanted aknight in shining armor to sweep me off my feet.”
“I’d be more than happy to oblige,” Y’Gythgba repliessmoothly, and takes Renet’s hand. She brings Renet’s slim fingers to her lips,and kisses them with all the gentleness of a butterfly’s landing.
Renet can’t help the embarrassed/happy giggle that comes outof her. She can’t wait to tell her fellow time apprentices, they’ll be so-o-o-ojealous.
Okay but I need some April/Shini in my life. Especially about their date in Japan from your other fic oh my goddd it's just 1000%
(placed in this fic’s universe, some shini/april dating nonsense)
Somewhere after April nearly dislocates a very rude man’sarm, Shini realizes this American girl is exactly the sort of individual she’sbeen looking for since her previous girlfriend.
Sure, April doesn’t bathe enough, tends to wear the samet-shirt three days in a row, and spends majority of her time with boys who dothe same- but, when she cleans up,April looks pretty darn good.
Like she does now, dressed in the suit Shini had hand tailoredfor her, and glaring at the man who’d tried to harass them both. April’s hairglows in the neon lights of the club district, and her displeased aura shinessimilarly.
Shini eases out of the casual defence stance she’d taken,and nearly sighs as April- small as she is- shoves the wannabe offender awaywithout effort. He’s making all sorts of pained noises, and Shini smilespleasantly. His arm will be fine, so long as he receives the appropriatemedical care.
Which they won’t be assisting him with, obviously.
“Ready to go?” Shini asks, sliding her arm around April’s.
The other woman looks up at her, blue eyes still alight withanger. And she smiles toothily, doing so many things to Shini’s heart.
“Ready if you are,” April replies. Then, glancing after theman she’s sent running, “We should also probably leave before the police gethere. Can you run in those heels?”
Shini scoffs. “Can I run in these? Oh April, I kicked yourpretty little self all over a roof in ones twice as high, the first time wemet. These are nothing.”
“I’m fairly certain I still owe you for that.”
“Well, how about a race to settle it? First to the next clubis declared winner,” Shini leans close, near April’s ear and whispers, “andthat winner will get whatever they want. Are you game?”
Shini thinks about April being out of that suit, and smiles,brushing her lips just along theshell of April’s ear.
April’s ear goes satisfyingly red.
Shini smiles wider.
“Oh you are on,”April proclaims.
Shini laughs, and impulsively presses a feather-light kissto April’s cheek. The resulting blush is just so endearing to see, and Shini takes off running.
April snaps out of her daze. “Hey- hey that’s cheating!”
“All is fair in love and war!” Shini calls back gleefully.
They race through the streets, Shini’s titanium heelsholding up just fine under the strain. She opts to swing up onto the roofs,leaving April behind as she races to beat her date to their destination.
Of course, as a representative of the Foot clan as well asit’s second in command, this would be the perfect moment to ambush her. As such,just that happens.
Shini slows, seeing figures creeping out of the shadowstowards her. She’s alone on a rooftop, in just her heels and lovely blacknumber. The most she has is her clutch purse, and a cellphone.
“Tsk,” She says, adding up all her enemy’s numbers andgetting an even twelve. “It’s very rude to interrupt someone’s date, I’ll haveyou know.”
Her enemies say nothing, and they rush her. Probably eitherto assassinate her or take her as hostage to use against Karai.
Why does everyone think that just because she’s not wearingarmor, she’s defenseless?
And why does everyone always underestimate the worth of highheels?
Shini puts the razor tip of her heel through the opening ofone assassin’s armor, and relishes in the resulting scream.
Honestly. It’s like no one knows how deadly a pair of heelsreally can be. Or how many uses a purse can have.
Shini disembowels three men- poor armor choices on theirpart- slits the neck of two- again, poor armor choices, and she does so loveher purse’s hidden knife compartment- and simply tosses the others off the roof.
She huffs to herself, straightens her push up bra, and stepsover the pool of blood around her. “I told you,” She says to the men as shewalks away from them. “It’s very rude to interrupt someone’s date.”
One of them gurgles at her.
She puts her heel through his hand, and walks away as hescreams.
Shini arrives too late to beat April- shame, she’d had sucha lovely plan in mind. April sees her the moment she steps out of the dark andlights up victoriously.
Well, that is as good a second place prize as any.
“I won,” April says, tilting her chin. “That means you haveto do what I want now.”
“Oh? And what would that be?” Shini says, stepping closer toApril. With her hair tied back like that, and just the slightest hints ofeyeshadow, April looks utterly kissable.
April grins cheekily. “I can think of something. Come here.”
Shini bends, and lets her shorter date pull her into a kiss.
Oh yes. This is an excellentsecond place prize.
“But this isn’t it,” April whispers, breath tickling Shini’slips. “I have another idea, for later.”
Shini raises one eyebrow. “How much later?”
“I think some dancing before we head home should be enoughof a delay, then it’ll be later,” April smiles coyly, and has a wicked gleam inher eyes. “And you’ll have to do whatever I say.”
Shini grins; she does so like how this girl thinks.
“Now that, I think I can agree to,” Shini replies in a lowvoice. April giggles; her mask of seduction breaking into blushing again, and Shini’sheart does so many things at that sight.
Shini later finds April looks even better without herstunning suit.
It’s an excellent discovery, and she presses a flurry ofkisses all over the scars that dot April’s body. There’s so many, April’s doneand seen so much in her life. It’s incredible.
Shini needs to know the story of each mark, and she tells Aprilso between kisses.
“Only if you show me how to hypnotise people,” April replies.
“That can be arranged,” Shini says with smile.
April then laughs as Shini pulls her into another embrace,rolling them across the large bed they’re sharing. Shini ends up with thesmaller woman on top of her, staring up at the halo April seems to have.
In the low bedroom light, just like in street lights, April glows.It’s glorious to see.
“I’m so lucky I didn’t kill you,” April says, staring downat Shini. “That would’ve been awful.”
“You’re also lucky I didn’t kill you,” Shini replies,reaching up and cupping April’s cheek. “You left your right flank open thewhole time.”
“Think you could cover that for me from now on?”
“I think that can also be arranged…”
April leans down, and they stop talking for a long while.
Lately I've been thinking that Renet x Y'Gythgba might be cute. What do you reckon?
(I reckon I like the way you think.)
Renet has centuries and centuries of life ahead of her, andshe’ll meet hundreds of amazing people along that journey. Time is so fluentand strange, even to a timekeeper. Some things she manipulates and changesherself; others, she finds, are simply fate.
Like meeting a totally shway warrior with a really nice physique, the next timeRenet gets lost on a timekeeping assignment.
“Oh my,” Says the warrior, lowering her sword from Renet’sface. “I’ve heard of your people in legends. You’re a timekeeper, correct?”
Renet blinks, staring at the warrior with stars in her eyesnearly as bright as the ones surrounding the planet she’s landed on. She knows this warrior, from the chroniclesof the turtles. She’s studied most of her life the arc of their story aboutthis warrior woman from beyond the stars. It was always one of her favoriteparts, the dashing Salamandrian warrior sweeping Raphael off his feet for awhirlwind affair. Renet was always so taken by the story; she’s read ithundreds of times.
Y’Gythgba also happens to have been Renet’s very firstcrush. One that never really left her, and springs back to life the longer shestares at the alien woman.
“I’m- I’m like, a hugefan,” She finally blurts out, trying to pull herself off the ground. “Like,you’re a legend where I’m from. Oh mygod, I can’t believe I get to meet you!”
Y’Gythgba’s large- totes gorgeous-golden eyes narrow at her. “So you area timekeeper. How is it that you know of me?”
Renet hurriedly fixes her headdress and cloak, trying tolook less like she fell through a time rift and a little more she totally planned this. “You know the boys? Yeah, you’relike, such a big part of the turtles’story. You have a full three chapters all to yourself in my history book!”Renet giggles nervously, feeling a hundred and twenty-three all over again. “Andyeah, I’m such a big fan of your accomplishments. So shway some of those battles you’ve won. Or will win, I guess.”
Y’Gythgba gives her a measured look, and then huffs. Her swordis slid away into its holsters, and she inclines her head in greeting. “Well,allow me to introduce myself properly, then. I am Y’Gythgba of Salamandria,fifth rank lieutenant to G’Throkka and the Salamandrian terra-exploration squadron.And you are?”
“Call me Renet,” Renet says, stomach fluttering like ahundred neo-butterflies, all alight and totally glowing with excitement. She daresto add a wink at the end as she nods back to the lovely lizard before her. “Juniortimekeeper, recently promoted to solo mission access like, just last week. Totesan honor to meet you, Y’Gythgba.”
The warrior woman sees the wink, and Renet is pleased thatshe gets an intrigued smile for the gesture.
Y’Gythgba offers that they go take advantage of the smalltown nearby on the planet they’ve both landed on, and Renet tries and fails tonot blush like some two hundred year old fresh to the dating scene.
Shini has big dorky crush on Karai. How does she react to Karai hugging her, I wonder?
“I can’t thank you enough,” Karai is saying, her voice rightnext to Shini’s ear as she does. “You’ve been there for me this whole time, andI don’t know if I could have made it this far without you.”
Shini- through years and years of learning to fake anyemotion she pleased- manages to maintain a steady voice and form as she hugsher dearest Senpai back. “Of course, Karai. I would never think of abandoningyou in your time of need. I will be by your side for as long as you need me tobe.” And decades longer, if you’d let me.
Karai’s chin is on Shini’s shoulder, digging in as she nods,and Shini fights the soft blush threatening her cheeks as Karai’s arms tightenfor a moment. “Thanks again, Shini. You’re a true friend.”
Shini very nearly lets a nervous giggle escape, but somehowkeeps her smooth persona in place. “The very same to you, Karai.”
When Karai finally steps back, Shini’s heart cries out atthe loss of contact and warmth. Of course, she hides the falter in herself, andbids her Senpai goodnight. Only once Karai has disappeared down the corridor,headed towards her quarters, does Shini finally give into the need to clutchher hands over her heart and sigh dreamily.
The things Karai does to her. The things Shini wishes shecould do to Karai.
Oh if only.
Shini settles for now with sighing dramatically again, and retiringto her too-empty bed for the night. Perhaps one day soon, as she can only hope,she will retire to one that is not so lonely, and won’t have to steady the excitedthrum of her heart every time she brushes against Karai.
If you're still taking requests, how about Kunoichi Cubed taking care of each other after a battle, patching each other up and all the girls getting some much needed TLC?
April tilts her head, letting Karai’s fingers push her chinupwards. A damp cloth is pressed against her skin, Karai carefully wiping awaythe grime left by a nosebleed.
“You know you shouldn’t push yourself like that, April,” Karaiadmonishes, lifting the cloth away as she finishes. April sees the dull rust onits white fabric, and shrugs. “I can’t lose you to such a stupid choice.”
“It was either that or let the explosion go off,” April defends.It’d hurt- oh it’d hurt- to hold the explosion inside a psychic bubble; herbody burning with power it couldn’t quite handle yet. But it’d also been worthit, since other than a raging migraine and a nosebleed, they’d all gotten outrelatively unscathed. “You can’t expect me to say sorry for what I did.”
Karai gives her a flat look, one she always gives April or Shiniwhen they go too far. April turns her head away, looking towards where Shini ismeticulously patching up the minor cuts she’d gotten. “Shini, back me up onthis.”
“Hmm, while I agree somewhat…” She gives April a look,fluttering her eyelashes delicately. “You gave us both heart attacks, the wayyou swooned into my arms right after. Really, April, I do my best to inspirethat reaction in you, but it’s just plain worrisome in battle.”
April sighs, feeling outnumbered. “Fine, fine. I’ll be morecareful next time, and save the swooning for when we’re on base.”
“There’s a dear,” Shini coos, standing up gracefully from theedge of the tub, and sidling over to April to peck her on the cheek. Somehow leavingno smudge of her dark makeup, which is still flawless even despite their recentturf war. One day, April will figure out how she does that, and steal thetechnique for herself.
“Alright, O’Neil, if you’re done playing Jean Grey for thenight-” Karai stands up, dumping the used wash cloth in the basin by the sink. “-I’dsay we go binge watch some Netflix and order takeout.” She leans down once morethough, to quickly kiss April on the lips. April reciprocates the gesture, andfeels the grin her girlfriend has.
“Thanks for the save,” Karai says softly into the kiss. “Evenif I’m not happy how you managed it.”
“I try,” April replies, grinning even as Karai and Shini bothclick their tongues at her in scolding.
if you're still doing requests, maybe angel x alopex?
“If it’s too weird, we don’t have to-”
“No, Alo, it’s not weird, and yes, I really do want to.”
“…are you sure?”
“Of course I am, you goof,” Angel says, running her fingersthrough Alopex’s fur. The fox- who is halfway curled up on Angel’s stomach, asthey lay on the old couch in Angel’s apartment- leans into her touch as Angelscratches at Alopex’s back. “We can stop whenever you need us to, but I’m readyto give it a try if you are.”
Alopex’s ears are flat, but her tail isn’t poofed up anymore than usual, so she isn’t so stressed they can’t keep going. Angel movesher hands a little further up Alopex’s back, and gives a reassuring smile toher tentative girlfriend. “Come on, one little kiss isn’t going to drive meoff. It’s kind of a part of the package deal, us bein’ together and all that.”
“I know,” Alopex says, grimacing as much as she can with amuzzle. Angel loves it when she does that, it makes her nose wrinkle up allcute like. “It’s just… I’ve never tried this before. At all. The closest I thinkI ever got was snuggles and biting.”
“We’ll go it slow, then,” Angel encourages. She moves onehand up onto the back of Alopex’s head, still marveling at how soft her fur is,even after months of knowing the mutant. “You can go first.”
Alopex’s tail fluffs itself a little bigger, shiftinguneasily as Alopex slowly lowers herself closer to Angel. Their chests, onefluffy, one covered by a loose cotton t-shirt, meet after a moment. And then,minding her claws as she pulls herself closer, Alopex delicately presses heradorable, cold little nose to Angel’s lips.
Angel follows the movement, and tilts her head to the sideso she can press equally as delicate kisses to Alopex’s furry muzzle. It’s softagainst Angel’s skin, and she treats the opportunity with all the care itdeserves. That Alopex deserves.
If someone had asked Angel a few months back if she’d everkiss a fox, she would have asked them what they’d been smoking. Now though,after getting to know Alopex through patrols and late night chats and steadily lengtheningmoments of eye contact, Angel can say that why yes, she will kiss a fox. And she’lllove every second of it.
Alopex draws away after a few more moments, and stares atAngel with hooded eyes; her purple facial markings making her gold eyes standout beautifully. Angel sometimes wonders how someone so beautiful could everthink poorly of herself, mutant fox or not.
“Was that okay?” Alopex asks softly, pupils large and dark againsther gold irises.
Angel smiles, and runs a comforting hand down Alopex’s backone more time. Maybe it wasn’t a deep kiss, with tongue and teeth, like theones she’d gotten from past girlfriends, but Alopex isn’t them and won’t everbe them. She’s different and wonderful in her own spunky yet shy way, and Angeldarn near loves her already just for that.
So Angel says the truth of her feelings, and means it. “It was perfect.”
