Posted on AO3!
Summary:
Donnie’s ready to hit Eastman High with a bang. Saving NYC with his brothers was cool, sure—but it’s time the world saw what one purple-masked genius can do. Step one: become valedictorian. Step two: definitely don’t let that smug kid with the curly hair and irritating smirk get in the way. Keshav’s the worst. Meanwhile, Kasey’s determined to escape his sister’s shadow in his sophomore year. Top GPA, new mutant friends, clean slate. Easy. Or it would be, if it wasn’t for that irritating turtle guy in his math class constantly trying to egg him on and ruin his life. He doesn’t even call him the right name. Donatello’s the worst. Then Halloween hits. A rogue wave of Foot Clan Bots forces Kasey to throw on a mask, grab a cricket bat, and become the vigilante Striker. Suddenly, he’s juggling school, sports, secret missions, and suspiciously friendly chats with Donnie—who seems way more into Striker than Keshav. Two teens. One school. One city full of crime. One flimsy mask between them. And chaos, lots of it.

an AU months into the making! i'm so, so excited to finally share it with everyone!
this storyline has everything: identity shenanigans, slowburns, enemies to lovers trope, chaotic friendships, an overarching action plotline, amazing sibling duos, desi culture appreciation, and so much more!
(very, very heavily inspired by Miraculous LB, in that Donnie hates Kasey in school, but has a huge thing for Kasey in his Striker form, and poor Kasey is just confused)
so, ahem, presenting, Him, drawn by @tae-rhymeswithslay:
