My Own Grave

Feral Raph x Reader

Warnings: Reader dies and swearing.

Song: My Own Grave by As I Lay Dying

Notes: Not sure if the song fits with Raph, but my friend at work recommended the song to me. Gave it a shot and thought what would this go well with, and immediately I thought of the episode where Raph got left alone in the sewers too long and he went feral lol. This is my interpretation of feral Raph, so enjoy. I also never wrote for Raph before, so go easy on me lol. As I stated before, listening to the song while reading gives it more emotion and feels.

Text Received at 3:50

Raph❤: Hey your still joining us for some sewer fun right?

Y/N smiles at the reminder text from her sweet boyfriend. He always did like reminding her even though he always knew she would reply back, unlike his brothers.

Unfortunately, this time the text never went through, as Raph would have responded. So she fishes for her phone, checking it as her eyes widen.

Text not sent.

Y/N: Sure am big red, you know I'm always down for some fun.

Her phone didn't send the message! What the hell! She curses inwardly at herself for not noticing sooner, and Raph texted her that over an hour ago...poor guy must be worried!

She knows how bad it can get when Raph is left alone for too long.

With this she hastily makes her way to the lair, finding it empty.

"Guys!" She yells out, recieving no answer in return.

Crud.

Y/N fishes our her phone again, sending a message to Donnie.

Y/N: Hey where are you guys? I'm at the lair right now.

"Good enough."

Text sent at 4:58

Not a second later, she gets a text back.

He's always on his phone so that's no suprise he would text back.

Text recieved at 4:59

BrainsMcgee: Kinda busy trying to find Raph, Leo forgot to text him that we were gonna be late and Raph went feral. So were currently on our way back, and will see you in the next few minutes.

Y/N's eyes widen at this.

Raph went feral...this is not good...

"Way to go Leo..." She whispers to herself.

Sure enough, she hears footsteps coming from the other tunnel as she rushes over to the guys.

"What happened to you guys?! Was...was this all Raph's doing?" Y/N asks as Leo stumbles to the floor, groaning in pain.

"Yes it was your boyfriends doing, no thanks to Leon whatsoever." Donnie says bitterly as shoots Leo a glare. "D don't blame him, it was an accident right Leo?" Mikey asks as Leo only grunts in response.

Y/N watches as Donnie and Mikey help pick Leo up off the floor, her eyes widening at all the cuts and bruises Leo obtained. "I can't believe Raph did this to you...is there anyway I can help?" She asks as they all look at her crazily. "Unless you wanna look like a mess hermano I suggest staying here and let us handle Raph." Leo says as he holds his side, as his eye squints from being in pain.

"Like hell I'm gonna stay behind!" She yells out, startling the others as they look at her with wide eyes.

"Woah...no wonder Raph took a liking towards you!" Mikey says as Y/N's cheeks flush red at the compliment. "Alright Y/N can help, but to a certain degree. Deal?" Donnie says as she nods.

"So what's the plan?" Y/N asks as Mikey and Donnie think.

Leo puts a hand to his chin, thinking, as his eyes light up. "What if we use Y/N as a way to bring Raph back to normal?" Leo says as both turtles look at him as if he's crazy.

"No way-I'll do it." Everyone turns to stare at Y/N surprised.

"You will?" Leo asks dumbfounded by Y/N's enthusiasm to help Raph.

"Of course I would, I love Raph and nothing will change that. Feral or not I love who he is and all that he is. He's been there for me, so I need to be there for him." Y/N says as everyone looks at her with tear filled eyes.

"Let's bring Raph home!" Everyone shouts as they begin to start there plan.

What they didn't know was that someone or a certain somebody was watching them from the tunnel.

-With Raph-

He stares at them with blank eyes, frowning.

How dare they touch his mate.

(The lies, the weight)

(Deceit, decay)

(The lies, the weight)

(It's clear I lost my way)

He turns around and makes his way back to his home.

Home?

His mind is vaccant with endless empty thoughts as he tries to think.

Remember.

Who is Raph?

Raph growls as a rat scurries by him, but the rat wasn't fast enough as Raph pounces on him, killing the rat as he picks it up.

Blood is smeared on the floor as Raph tears the head from the body.

He pulls and chews at the body as tosses the head away.

Tasty meat.

(I thought I was an architect, but I was just moving dirt)

What was he doing again? Right. Heading back to his makeshift home.

(Stacking mud over malice covered up, forming nothing but a pile of hurt)

He wanders the tunnels, killing any meat that crosses his path as he finally makes his way back.

He shuffles around, stopping, as he hears the pitter patter of tiny feet scuttling around him.

More meat.

(Boring the barriers that kept others away (away)

(The deeper the walls, the less anyone could hear me (hear me fall)

(So now I know there is no one else to blame)

(Buried alive inside my own grave)

Eventually the sound of tiny footsteps passes as there replaced by heavier ones.

Can it be?

(And there's no one else to blame)

(Buried alive inside my own grave)

Mate?

(Inside of my own grave)

(Beneath my lies)

He turns around and comes face to face with his mate.

He growls lowly at her as she backs away but not in fear, more so in observation. He sniffs the air as he smells another scent on her that isn't his, he growls at this.

He bares his teeth at her, his snaggletooth gleaming in the dim light as she holds up her hands in defence.

"Raph..." She calls out sweetly.

Why can't he remember her name?

He watches, teeth still bared as she slowly takes a step towards him.

"Raph it's me...do you know who I am?"

"Maaate..." He growls out, her eyes widening at his answer.

She takes another step forward and another, and another, until she's within touching distance of him.

(Delusional enough to think I'd designed something great)

(Like a giant headstone inscribed to describe my shameful fate)

Why does she seem familiar?

Why is she not afraid?

(An ugly truth from which there was no way to escape (escape)

(Nowwhere left to hide and then finally forced to face what I'd become)

(Buried alive inside of my own grave (my grave)

He watches as she reaches a hand out to pet his snout, bad move on her part.

(What I'd become)

"Remember me Raph...I love you." She closes her eyes as he raises a hand up.

(Buried alive inside of my own grave (my grave)

(Beneath my pride, crushing me)

Bloodlust blurs his vision as he full on hits her, the force of his swing slams her against the wall as you can hear bones breaking by the second.

He knows alone the sheer impact of his punch could hurt if not kill anyone let alone a simple human.

(Beneath my lies, collapsing)

(But we are still alive (we are still alive)

A bloodcurdling scream can be heard coming from her, but it doesn't last long as she eventually grows quiet.

(Buried alive inside of my own grave)

(And there's no one else to blame)

"Y/N!" Familiar voices shout as he slowly comes back too.

(The lies and the weight, I know I lost my way (my way)

As he slowly comes back to, Raph blinks a few times as he looks at his surroundings, this isnt the sewer he told them to meet at?

(What I'd become)

"Guys?" He calls out frantically, only to hear sobbing come from Mikey and Leo. Donnie doing his best not to cry as he checks her over before he too starts to tear up.

Where's Y/N?

(And there's no one else to blame)

(Buried alive, buried alive)

He slowly walks over to them, his eyes growing wide as tears blur his vision.

(Finally forced to face what I'd become)

(What I'd become in my own grave)

There she lays in a puddle of blood. His girl Y/N. He killed his beloved Y/N. He crys loudly as he sinks to his knees, cradling Y/N in his arms as he continues to cry.

(Buried in my own grave alive)

Name a better feeling than getting the first comment on a fic you were uncertain about and knowing that at least one person liked the tiny piece of your brain that you put on the internet

I’ve seen a lot of posts on my dash tonight about users who are threatening suicide, with other Tumblr members posting in effort to try to get ahold of them. I think you all should see this:

IF THERE IS EVER A TUMBLR USER WHO HAS POSTED A GOOD-BYE MESSAGE, SUICIDE NOTE, VIDEO, OR ANYTHING OF THE SORT, PLEASE FOLLOW THIS POST.

1. Scroll to the top of your dashboard.

2. See the circular question mark icon at the top? It’s the third one over from your home symbol. Click on that, and a screen similar to the one in the picture will come up.

3. Where you can type in questions, the box with the magnifying glass at the top, type in the word “suicide.”

4. Click on the first link that shows up. It should say, “Pass the URL of the blog on to us.”

5. Type in the user’s URL and tell Tumblr admin that the user is contemplating suicide and has posted a message indicating that they are going through with it or will be attempting. Hit send! Tumblr administration will perform a number of actions to contact the user and take the necessary steps to prevent the suicide.

TUMBLR: THIS COULD SAVE A USER’S LIFE. PLEASE DO NOT IGNORE SUICIDE THREATS.

Reblog this to keep other users aware. Suicide isn’t a joke, and neither is someone’s life. If you didn’t know this, someone else may not, either. Pass it on.

Grape Ice

Donnie x Reader

Warnings: Swearing

Notes: My friend at work told me about the different vape flavours you could get and grape ice was one of them and I was like well why not make it a story lol. I mean since dabbing and memes exsist in the canon universe, maybe vapes do too? 🤔🤔 Anyways, no song involved this time, sad I know. 😂

Text Recieved at 2:30

April💚💛: You coming? I'm with the guys.

Text Sent at 2:31

Y/N: Yep and I got what you asked for.

Text Recived at 2:32

April💚💛: Awww thanks girl! I'll pay you back!

Y/N chuckles as she reads April's text. "No problem girl, I don't mind helping you out...and send." Y/N says as she finishes typing out her message as it goes through.

She pockets her phone, digging around for her anxiety relief.

"There you are." Y/N says as she fishes out her vape. She brings it to her lips, taking a long drag before exhaling.

Grape flavour.

Reminds her of Donnie, maybe it's because her vape is purple colored, or maybe because grapes are purple.

She flushes as an image of Donnie flashing her a geniune smile appears in her mind.

Gah!

Y/N shakes her head to stop her thoughts from growing any bolder.

She doesn't know when her crush on Donnie started, she does know this, she knows she loves when he rants about his latest invention, watching his eyes grow wide in excitement when he speaks about any of his tech. Y/N also loves his voice, if he could speak for hours she would let hom, his voice is so soothing to her when he speaks about anything. She also loves his bad boy attitude, she thinks its charming and cute, but she knows he does care about his family despite his bad boy image being somewhat tainted when he worries.

Y/N stops in front of the manhole cover, calming herself before lifting the cover as she descends down the old rotten ladder, minding each step she takes down.

Once she's at the bottom, she fishes out her phone before turning on her flashlight to light the way. "Should put some lights up...maybe I can ask Donnie to make something." She mutters under her breath.

Y/N navigates the tunnel flawlessly, thanks to Donnie showing her the way through.

She turns the flashlight off once she sees the light at the end of the tunnel, knowing she made it to the lair correctly.

"Y/N! You have it right?" April shouts as she rushes on over to her, Donnie and Leo trailing behind. "Yes I do." Aprils eyes light up as Y/N fishes through her left pocket, pulling out the other vape before handing it over to April. She turns it over to read what the flavour is, "Mango Ice huh, hope its pretty good Y/N."

"What are you doing?" Donnie asks as he walks over to April's side, most likely investigating what she has.

"It's a vape Donnie, maybe you should get one, it might help you." April teases before she takes a hit off of it, smoke filling the space in front of her. "Woah! I gotta try that! April let me get a hit." Leo asks as he makes a grabbing motion with his hands, April sighing before she hands it over to him. "So what do I do?" Leo asks, making everyone groan at his dumbness.

"Okay okay, so you bring it to your lips, take a small inhale and then you exhale it." April says as Leo nods.

He does exactly like April says, and a small puff of smoke settles in front of him.

"Is that what mango tastes like? Its not bad honestly." Leo says as he twirls the vape in his hand before April snatches it back.

"Want a hit D?" April asks as she turns to him.

Donnie eyes the vape warily before raising a sharpie eyebrow at it. "What are the benefits of the vape?" He asks, making Leo groan at his twin. "Really D? Thats what your worried about?"

Y/N stiffles a giggle at Donnies unamused face. "Well yeah. No sense on inhaling some chemicals that provides no benefits." Donnie says as he eyes Leo, obviously annoyed with his twins response. "It effects people differently Donnie, for me it helps with anxiety." Y/N says as Donnie turns to eye her now. "Is that so?" He asks as she nods.

"Here you can try mine, its grape ice." Y/N says as she fishes for her vape.

Once she pulls out her vape she hands it to Donnie as he takes it, eyeing it before he sighs. "So all you do is inhale then exhale correct?" He asks before Y/N nods.

He eyes it again before bringing it to his lips.

Y/N's eyes widen as she stares at his lips, her mind wandering.

Focus Y/N!

She shifts her focus to his heterochromatic eyes as he takes a drag from the vape. The smoke billowing out in front of him as he smacks his lips together, almost like hes trying to taste it.

"Not...bad I suppose." He says with disinterest as he hands it back to Y/N.

"Well if you guys need me, which I hope not, I'll be in my lab." Donnie says as he walks away from the group to go back to his lab.

Y/N eyes Donnie as he walks away, before feeling a nudge at her side. "Girl you are watching him like a hawk!" April shouts quietly as Leo snickers at Y/N.

Her eyes widen at being caught.

"You liiiiiike him." Leo says teasing Y/N as her face grows red. "I-I don't like him!" She stutters out, her face on fire.

Leo wiggles his nonexistent eyebrows as a shit eating grin appears on his face. "Oh no I know that look...what are you planning in that head of yours." She mutters out.

"April are you totally thinking what I'm thinking? April nods as she smiles too happily at the confused girl.

Before Y/N knew it she was in front of Donnies lab, April and Leo off to the side as they usher her to go talk to Donnie. Y/N eyes them before she sighs, turning to stare at the door in front of her.

"They won't let me go otherwise, unless I confess to Donnie." Y/N utters to herself quietly, sweat pooling on her forehead from anxiety.

She quickly takes a drag to calm her nerves as she braces herself. She knocks on the door as she hears a faint "who is it" from Donnie. "It''s Y/N. May I come in D?" Y/N asks as she hears a faint click from the door.

She walks in, seeing Donnie hunched over his work desk like usual.

She smiles at the sight knowing this is Donnie's passion, he always did love science and inventing stuff.

"It's not nice to stare you know." He teases as her eyes widen, his focus never leaving his work bench. Crud, first it was Leo and April catching her staring.

Now her crush caught her.

Y/N's heart does a somersault at this, her breathing becoming uneven as she feels her chest tightening due to her own anxiety rising.

Maybe this was a bad idea, she thinks to herself.

While she was caught up in her own thoughts, Donnie looks over to see her spacing out and that would explain why she went silent.

Somethings not right with Y/N, Donnie thinks to himself.

With that he backs away from his work as he walks over to Y/N.

He takes notice to her rapid beating from her chest to her uneven breathing, with this he can only think of one thing.

Anxiety.

He knows what thats like, he has constant anxiety himself but has found ways to contain it. He also doesn't let it show, it would ruin his bad boy persona if he did!

He gently places a hand on her shoulder, shaking her lightly as she comes back to reality. "Wha...huh. Oh hey Donnie." She says quietly as he eyes her carefully.

"You okay? You were kinda spacing out for a couple seconds Y/N." Donnie says as Y/N only nods.

Donnie wouldn't admit it but, he's had a crush on Y/N for awhile now. Since April first introduced them to Y/N, he stayed the hell away from her as he wasn't sure what she was like. He eventually opened up to Y/N and grew to like her as she had begun to ask him questions about his tech and how it worked, or what materials it was made from.

Boy did his mind do backflips at this, someone was interested in his tech?

Not only that but she was sweet and kind and was a bit shy, but she did have a mischievous side to her which Donnie liked.

"Donnie?" She asks as he blinks his eyes a few times before coming back to reality.

He looks down to stare at her e/c eyes, finding himself getting easily lost in them. Damn, feelings really do get the better of you at the most random of times.

"You shouldn't vape anymore. I researched that they can make you feel depressed and make you feel anxious, so find a replacement." He utters quietly.

Find a replacement?

"What should I replace it with then?" She asks quietly as he eyes her lips.

"With this..." He leans down to capture her lips with his own, her eyes widening as she kisses him back.

Sadly it doesnt last long as he pulls away from her.

Y/N stares up at him with wide eyes as he chuckles at her. "I've wanted to do that for awhile now..." Donnie says as he leans his forhead against hers.

Damn, she should have vaped sooner.

Would Anyone Care

Leo x Depressed Suicidal Reader x Donnie

Warnings: Attempted Suicide, Depression, Self Harm (Do not read this if it triggers you, you have been warned)

Song: Would Anyone Care by Citizen Soldier

Notes: Uhm yeah this is a real banger, kinda cried in the middle of making this one because its to close to home. I suffer from Depression myself and it tends to get worse over time. I rely alot on my friends to help me out and I'm so thankful for each and every one of them. If you suffer from Depression know this, you are not alone and not the only one suffering with it. You are cared for and loved by everyone and anyone and don't ever think that you aren't. Please take care of yourself, not just for your sake, but for others. Also side note uhm, sorry if it seems like its all over the place lol, kinda rushed this one. Also again while reading listen to the song as it will definitely not make you cry. 😢

Days turned to weeks, weeks turned to months and months turned to a year. Yet nothing has changed for the better for Y/N.

Aside from meeting them.

The turtles.

Y/N has to thank her friend April for meeting them, it was an accident of course.

An ugly one at that.

(Would anyone notice?)

(If tonight I disappeared?)

April decided she was gonna introduce Y/N to her friends, seeing that her friend was lonely and quite frankly it worried her.

Y/N was always alone if not being bullied for being a bookworm, but on top of that she was also shy. April however never judged her for who she was and managed to befriend her.

(Would anyone chase me)

It wasn't enough however, after that fatal day, everyone was a bit on edge.

April managed to convince them to come meet her friend and they obliged. What they didnt expect was that they all had walked in on Y/N cutting into her skin, blood running down her arm as it dripped onto her apartment floor.

Everyone was panicking as they rushed over to Y/N to asses the self injury.

(And say the words that I need to hear?)

This lead to being introduced to Donatello or Donnie, the tech savvy turtle in purple, he seemed arrogant, prideful, and rude at first but he's actually alot nicer than you think of course. He's also a certified bad boy or so he claims he is.

He stepped closer to Y/N, as he tapped away at his wrist watch as he ran some vital scans.

She doesn't even rememeber what he said, it all was so blurry to her. Then again she knows she hasnt eaten in a couple of days and hasn't drank alot of water too. So perhaps that would explain her blurry vision but she wouldn't know she's not a doctor.

(That I'm no burden)

(Not so worthless)

She does remember watching the blue banded turtle step forward, as he started to fix up her arm. His name she came to know was Leonardo or Leo for short. He called himself the face man, the star of the team he claims he is. He is as tactile as he is annoying, well only when he says his one liners. Which Y/N enjoyed very much, much to the brothers disappoinment.

She should have been paying more attention when it came to everything going on around her, but at the time all she focused on was the blue and purple turtles.

Donatello and Leonardo captured Y/N's interest from that day on.

Time passed after that day, and for the better?

As she got to know the turtles, things got easier and better for Y/N. She started to come outta her shell (heh) and began opening up to the others.

(Bent so much that I might break)

Y/N really was getting better.

(All consuming, so confusing)

(The questions that keep me awake)

I mean she did get into a relationship with Donnie and Leo. Which at first shocked them both from her startling confession of the two, to which they at first weren't sure how to go about this relationship.

Things worked itself out eventually, and for the better.

Or so they thought.

(Would anyone care)

(Would anyone cry)

At first they took to keeping an eye on her, due to past experiences she either talked about or their first meeting with her...they would rather not talk about it.

Eventually they were able to trust her by herself.

Which in itself should have been a good thing, but it wasn't. Y/N took advantage of her alone time and wound up hurting herself due to not being enough.

Not being good enough for Leo and Donnie.

She would constantly put herself down and think negatively, and it would always lead to her cutting herself or trying to end her life.

Leo found a noose in her bathroom at one point which scared the shit outta him. After that you never seen it again, which he was relived of.

Unfortunately this lead Donnie to researching her symptoms and it alarmed him.

Y/N had Depression, severe Depression at that.

The first thought that ran through his mind was if she was on medication, and if she was taking it.

The answer was no.

(Would anything change?)

(Would you all be just fine?)

Of course Donnie told Leo about this startling information and it bothered Leo tremendously.

Which led Leo to telling Donnie about the noose, and god did it freak Donnie out. Leo had never seen Donnie act so outta of it before, unless it came to his tech.

So from then on both tended to be by her side...well as much as possible after finding out about her Depression.

('Cause I need a reason to not throw the fight)

They made sure she was taking her men's once she got them, along with making sure she was eating and drinking properly.

(It might just save my life)

Things were going so well, until now that is.

Today was their one year anniversary of dating, both the turtles thought it would be a good idea for a dinner date up on the roof at night.

Only their was one problem.

They couldn't find Y/N.

(Would anyone want me)

(If they knew what was inside my head?)

(Would anyone see me)

(For the person that I really am?)

(I won't lie so hard to hide)

They checked her apartment on arrival only to find nothing but a recently used bloody razor on her bathroom sink. Then they checked her bedroom, Donnie found her empty depression med bottle on the floor.

With closer inspection, Donnie found all the pills were emptied out into her trashcan.

(I've never felt worthy of love)

Y/N wasn't taking her meds!

(I would give up everything I have just to feel good enough)

"Leo! Has Y/N been taking her meds like she's suppose to?" Donnie asked his twin with a slight quiver to his voice.

"I think so...why?" Leo ask with hesitation only for Donnie to wave him over as he points to the trash can. Leo's eyes widen as he lets out a gasp.

"She...she hasn't been taking her...why?!" Leo slams a fist against the bedroom wall in anger, not at her but at himself for not checking in on her even more.

"Donnie where do you think she is?" Leo asks his twin, as he eyes the hole in the wall he made himself.

He'll fix that later he reminds himself.

Right now the only thought running through both there minds is where Y/N is at.

"The roof!" Both say is unison.

(Would anyone care)

(Would anyone cry)

(If I finally stepped off of this ledge tonight?)

Witht that they rush outta the apartment and ascend up to the roof, seeing Y/N standing by the very edge.

"Y/N!" Both Leo and Donnie yell out, watching as she slowly turns around to face them both.

('Cause I need a reason to not throw the fight)

"I'm sick of being alive!" She yells out, making both flinch at the tone of her hoarse voice.

Y/N's been crying. They can see her puffy red eyes from where there standing.

"Y/N don't do this!" Donnie yells, as Leo nods in agreement. "We love you Y/N please...keep fighting through the pain!" Leo says as he starts to cry.

She takes a step back, wobbling slightly as she's getting closer to the edge.

(Let me in, let me share in your pain)

(From my lungs through the dark)

(Spoken straight from the heart)

(Let me give you a reason to stay)

"Y/N!" Both yell, there eyes widening as they themselves try to get closer to her.

They need to think of something fast or else they might loose her.

"Mikey's gonna miss how passionately you get when you share your stories that you write!" Leo shouts out, startling Y/N as her eyes widen.

Wait...does he really like my stories? She questions.

"Yeah! What about Raph? You share his same worries over all of us, the both of you make sure were taken care of and we love you both for that!" Donnie yells out, knowing what Leo is trying to do. He'll thank his brother later for the quick thought on this.

They continue to tell Y/N how much they mean to her and how many broken people their would be if she left. They can tell its starting to get to her.

Y/N starts to cry at this.

"Most of all, we love you for being you. You loved us when we never thought anyone could ever love a mutant like us." They both say, making Y/N cry harder. "Come back home Y/N, you can talk to us about how you feel, hell you could move in with us, I'm sure dad wouldn't mind." Leo says a bit rushed.

Y/N stops crying as she stares at the both them, small smiles adorning there face as they hold out their hands to her.

She can't do this, they deserve so much better than her.

With her last ounce of energy she shoots them a small smile, giving them hope that would quickly be taken away.

(Would anyone care)

(Would anyone cry)

(If you finally gave up and turned out the light?)

With that she leans back as she lets herself fall off the ledge of the building.

"Y/N!!" There eyes widen as they both rush forward to try and grab her but they miss.

She stares back at there horror stricken faces through blurred eyes.

The rush of the wind around her feels nice as she's falling to her death.

They deserve better she reminds herself as she allows another smile to grace her face.

Just when she thought she was about to hit the ground a new pressure is being wrapped around her waist?

She opens her eyes that she didnt even know she closed, to see Donnie had grabbed ahold of her, him using his jetpack to save them both. To save Y/N.

Donnie guides them both back up top as he holds her in shaking arms. Leo sees this and comes rushing over to embrace her as well.

"Y/N please...please never do that again! We love you! We don't wanna loose you, you mean the world to us both. You mean the world to April...she sees you as her sister...if you had died...she'd be devasted." Leo says in between sobs as Donnie hums in agreement as he too is crying.

"Let's go home...Donnie can make you stronger meds, and I'm sure your hungry too so Raph can order the pizza. Oh! Mikey can play some of your favorite music that calms you down!" Leo rambles on as Y/N is left alone to her thoughts.

They do care, they do love me, they really would miss me if I left...but I didn't because they saved me.

(Tonight is the night, you take back your life)

(Take back your life)

(Take back your life)

(Take back your life)

"Let's go home...my real home boys." Y/N says as a geniune smile graces her face as both boys kiss the side of her head.

You Wrong

Donnie x Female Cheating Reader

Warnings: Mentions of sex and swearing and cheating

Song: You Right by Doja Cat

Notes: I would listen to the song as you read, makes it stand out more lol.

(I got a man but I want you)

(I got a man but I want you)

(And it's just nerves, its just dick)

(Makin' me think 'bout someone)

Donnie should have known better, he should have seen the signs.

He is an intelligent man afterall, or so he thinks.

Certainly smarter than his dumb dumb brothers of course but...

This isn't what he expected.

He thought everything was perfect...well as perfect as it could get but yet here he is, standing in front of Leo's room, music playing in the background...has he heard this song before?

Faint moans can be heard coming from it, not that it wasn't outta the norm.

Leo tended to be a horn dog and was pretty upfront about it, and so having guests in his room late at night was nothing new (cough, Usagi, cough).

Yet, what bothers Donatello is the fact that the moans coming from Leo's room sounds just like Y/N's.

His girlfriend.

He doesn't want to believe it, he refuses to and yet...

All the signs are there in front of him.

He doesn't know when this all started between his twin and Y/N.

(You know, I got so much to say)

(I try to hide it in my face)

(And it don't work, you see through)

(That I just wanna get with you)

He should have known better, especially when they asked for Leo to take them home if he was too busy.

Or when they started hanging around his twin more often.

Or when they started talking about him in front of Donnie, without realising it.

He scowls at this fact, not knowing who he should be mad at.

Leo knew Donnie was dating Y/N, they have been together for at least eight months now...well. Have they? He isn't really sure anymore at this point.

He should walk away right now, pretend he saw and heard nothing...and yet he can't.

Why?

What does Y/N see in Leo thats enough to cheat on Donnie for.

He's smart, amazing, talented, he's good at making gifts (minus the gifts he made for his brothers when fighting Meatsweats, they had a small talk about it), he's a good listener, he's patient (only for Y/N however), and so on!

(And you right)

(You Right, I)

(Got my guy)

(But I,I)

(Can't help it I want you)

Another moan can be heard as it knocks him outta his trance.

He frowns in disapproval, realising maybe she left him for better sex? No no no...she would never do that right?

Donnie know's he's in denial but he has every right to be yeah?

Only way to find out, is by learning the hard way.

He knocks on Leo's door, opening it as he takes in the sight before him.

(I can't stop and look the other way)

('Cause I know what could be, babe)

(And you'd never feel the same)

Leo's on top of Y/N pounding into her at rapid speed, moans coming outta her mouth as she opens her eyes for a quick second to see Donnie standing in the doorway.

"Donnie it's not what it looks like!" She yells out, but it only falls on deaf ears.

Donnie's pissed but he already knew, all the signs were laid in front of him.

He slams the door shut as he marches angrily back to his lab, effectively locking his door so no one can come in.

He walks over to his chair, sitting, before he slumps down in it.

What did he do wrong?

(You'd be thinkin' 'bout it every day)

He runs a hand across his face, groaning as he's unsure of what to do. Should he break up with Y/N or be mad at Leo for doing this?

"Dont believe in fairy tales Donatello, they dont always get the haply ending they deserve." Donnie says to himself, rather bitterly he might add.

He desperatly tries to swamp his mind with new inventions to make, hoping it would in some way distract him.

It doesn't.

All he can think about is what he just saw.

Leo on top of Y/N, her clinging onto his shell for dear life as he fucked the life outta her at rapid speed. Moans pouring sweetly from her lips, her face red as sweat drips down her forehead, but yet when her eyes had opened she looked to be dazed and on cloud nine.

He wouldn't be suprised if his twin fucked her with good ole doggy style.

Was sex ever that good between them?

Donnie was a gentle lover when it came to sex, so naturally he would treat her like a proper queen. Now that isn't to say he wasn't down to expirement

(Tryna be all through your sheets)

I guess she wanted more, he mused to himself.

(Have you all on top of me)

(Actin' like its not that deep)

A hurried knock can be heard from his door as he turns to look at it, wondering who it could be.

"Donnie baby please...can we talk!" Y/N yells out.

(I can't tell no one but they all knew)

He scowls at the door, wondering if its a good idea to her in.

He sighs as he figures he should hear her out at least, if she tells the truth of course.

Donnie gets up outta the seat as he makes his way over to his door, overiding it. Y/N thanks Donnie as she walks into his lab, him following behind as she stops and turns to face him.

"I'm so sorry Donnie, Leo tricked me into having sex with him! I never wanted to do that with him, only you! She cries out, startling Donnie at first until he scowls at her.

(I try to hide it in my face)

(And it don't work, you see through)

"Tricked you? How funny and rich coming from you Y/N, since you seem to love tricks, but I don't buy this fake get up your pulling right now." Donnie says through gritted teeth and her eyes widen.

Bingo.

"You've been spending more and more time with Nardo then me! Your boyfriend!" He seethes out.

(Girl, I want you like you want me to)

(I feel that energy...oh, yeah)

Y/N begins to back up as Donnie takes a step forward, his step matching hers. "Don't think I havent noticed the subtle glances you through his way when looking at him, or how you always seem to light up more when Leo enters the room! Let alone when he comes back after taking you home, only to come back in a goofy dazed out way, the same look he gets after SEX!" Donnie says angrily as he backs Y/N into the corner.

"Donnie..." She quivers out, lips trembling as tears stream down her face.

He's had enough...he's heard enough. He got the answer he was searching for.

"Go be with Nardo, cheater." He hisses out as he walks away from a crying Y/N.

(I got a man but I want you)

(I got a man but I want you)

(And it's just nerves, it's just dick)

(Makin me think 'bout someone else)

He leaves his lab in hope of finding someone, or anyone at this point.

That is until he runs into Leonardo.

"Woah D, why you in a rush?" Leo says casually as Donnie just scowls at him.

"I dont know, why dont you go ask your little girlfriend!" Donnie yells out, startling Leo as he pushes past him to go to Mikeys room.

What donnie didnt see was the bewildered look on Leo's shocked face.

(And it don't work, you see through)

(That I just wanna get with you)

(And you right)

Alright so on top of Dark Descent being a wip, I'm also doing rottmnt x readers but song one shots so if you have any requests please feel free to send them. I have a few x readers started, but once I'm done with them I'll post them!

Welp finally finished the prologue! If you guys actually like this series I'll definitely have to make more! (I would have made more chapters anyway to challenge my brain. 😂) Don't mind the grammer, but if you see anything wrong don't be afraid to say something.

Prologue

...

"Ready or not here I come April!" Said the black haired girl, determined to find her best friend...but first she searches her room, just in case she was in here, but nope she finds no sign of April. The girl leaves to go check the other areas, hoping to find her.

She checks the kitchen first, nope shes not here surprisingly, since April likes to raid her fridge for drinks and food...sometimes. She then checks the living room, not here either.

With that she goes running towards her parents room, knocking on the door as she opens it.

"Mom, dad have you seen April? Were playing hide and seek." The girl asks but goes silent upon seeing a new face, one that looks familiar to her.

It can't be.

Everyone turns to look at the girl.

"My my, so this is your daughter Layla, she's got your looks for sure." The new figure says as her mother chuckles.

"I would hope so Lou, but she's got her fathers personality down to a pat. Isnt that right dear?"

The girl watches her father chuckle as he comes over and picks her up. "Not just my personality she has hun, she has your intelligence and sassy attitude love." The father says as he looks down at his daughter.

"As for your friend April, I would suggest looking outside sweetie. Now run along, your mother and I got some business to deal with." With that he ruffles his daughters hair before placing her back down.

The girl smiles and thanks her parents, but as she turns to leave she glances back at the man standing beside her mother.

Something about him unerves the girl, but she smiles and waves as she runs outta the room in search of April.

She listens to what her father said and goes outside to check.

As she wanders around, she thinks about the man she saw. Her mother called him Lou right? He can't be the famous movie actor Lou Jitsu...can he?

As she thinks about it her eyes widen, as she realises it was the famous Lou Jitsu. As she recalls seeing him on tv, she was a pretty big fan herself since she knew his signature catch phrase and watched all his movies.

The girl couldn't believe it, Lou Jitsu knows her parents!

As the girl is lost in thought, she runs into a tree, groaning in pain from the impact on her poor little face.

"Kay?!" Exclaims April, but more so in worry.

"She saw that." Kay says quietly to herself, as she turns to where the sound of her best friends voice is.

She watches as her friend jumps down from the treehouse, running over to check on her friend. "That looked like it hurt, you okay Karise?" April asks worriedly.

Karise smiles and laughs at her curly haired friend, nodding at her concerned friend.

"I'm okay. Wanna play something else?" She asks her friend.

April points to the sky and sighs. "Its late Kay, I have to go home before mom and dad start looking for me."

With that the girls hug each other as they say their goodbyes, both having made plans to hangout tomorrow.

Not realising that things are about to change for the worst.

Karise should have known something was off with him from the beginning, but she wouldn't have expected this.

She heads back inside, only to be greeted with a strong sickening stench, as it wafts through the air around her.

She pinches her nose as her face scrunched up in disgust.

Where is that smell coming from and why is it strong?

Her stomach churns as a thought comes to mind.

Are her parents okay? What if something happened?

With that thought, she dashes to her parents room, flinging the door open. Startled by the gruesome sight before her.

Red.

All she sees is red or rather blood, and a message.

"Happy 5th birthday Karise." The message reads.

Tears begin to pull in her eyes as she sees her mother and father propped up against the wall, blood pulling underneath and onto the floor as it seeps outta fresh wounds.

No no no no no no.

She runs over to them, shaking her father awake. "Daddy wake up!" She cries out.

No response.

She goes over to try with her mother, only to recieve the same results.

She cries from realising that both her parents are dead.

She wipes away the tears on her sleeve as she gets up off the floor, knowing she can't be sad forever...its not what they would want.

She looks down at her parents, sadness washing over her as she wonders what to do now.

An idea pops into her head as she makes her way over to her mothers work desk. Karise opens the top drawer to see an old worn down leather notebook sitting on top of some folders. She grabs it and closes the drawer, as she focuses her attention on her mothers journal as she begins to open it, but quickly decides against it.

She remembers her mothers words clearly.

"Don't open my journal by any means Karise, should something ever happen to your father and I. Only then can you read it, but make sure you are safe first."

Karise knows she is not safe.

She runs back to her room and grabs her bookbag, sliding her mothers journal in as she goes and gathers some of her belongings.

After doing so Kay equips the backpack as she heads to the kitchen, making sure to grab plently of food and water, as puts them in her bag as well.

With that she sprints out of her house, not taking a glance back.

She can't go back, not now anyway.

It's late and she should be sleeping by now at home. Tooo bad she can't, she needs to get to somewhere safe first.

Karise realises how lost in thought she is when she wounds up in a city alleyway, one she doesnt remember. She stops for a moment to catch her breath, she can see how visible it has become.

Winter is soon approaching the girl thinks to herself, shivering when a gust of cold air hits her.

Luckily she threw on her blue hoodie beforhand.

Once she catches her breath she turns to continue her way forward, only to be slammed onto the ground.

Kay gasps in pain as her eyes widen in shock and fear.

Lou Jitsu?

He grins as she trembles in fear. Blood staining his blazer. "Finally I've been looking everywhere for you, your pretty fast kid." Lou says as he evily grins at her, wrapping a hand around the base of her neck.

He begins to choke her.

Karise's eyes widen as she screams for help.

"Keep your damn mouth shut! God kids are so fucking annoying. This is why I dont have any." He says angrily at her.

Someone please help me!

Karise wants to scream more but her airway is beginning to shut down by Lou choking her way to tightly.

...

As if someone heard her prayer, a man comes barreling outta nowhere and slams Lou Jitsu off of her.

The man in question looks behind him, turning to kneel down to her level as he holdd out his hand. A small smile adorning the man's face.

"Are you alright little one?" He asks softly, quietly, as if it would alarm her. She looks up at him, reaching out her little hand in his grasp as she nods.

"I am now. Thank you for saving me mister I appreciate it." Karise says as a smile forms onto her face. He lifts her up off the ground, helping her as she wipes away the dirt on her knees.

"My name is Baron Draxum, but you can call me Barry."

She smiles up at him.

"Karise Zirmei! Nice to meet you Barry!" She says happily.

Baron smiles down at the small child, letting his thoughts stir around as he wonders why she was out walking around alone. Where are her parents he questions.

"Tell me Karise, why are you out here all alone? Where are your parents?" Baron asks, watching as the small girl begins to tear up.

"They...there not waking up. They were covered in a lot of blood." Karise says as she cries softly.

Barons eyes widen.

He quickly bends down and pulls the child into his arms. "I'm so sorry little one...no one your age should ever have to loose her parents..." Barom says solemnly, comforting the girl as best as he can.

As he comforts Karise, he forgets about the man he shoved off of him. That is until a green liquid comes hurdling towards him, smashing into pieces up against his back.

He yells out in pain as he drops the child, his body contorting and shifting into something new.

"Forget about me did you?!" Lou yells out in anger.

In pain but not completely, Baron scoops the girl up into his arms and runs outta the alleyway, hoping to escape that mad man.

Kay watches in fascination as his body begins to transform.

She should be shocked from his new appearance, but she isn't.

I mean her mother is a Yokai after all...was a Yokai.

Layla was a red eared slider, but was able to take on a human appearance. Her father however was just a normal old human.

Chen loved her all the same when he found out, and boy was he shocked of course but it didn't change how he felt.

Afterall Karise was born...somehow.

As the girl thinks about her parents, she blinks in confusion as to where she is.

Karise takes a look at her surroundings.

She's not outside anymore, but in an old kinda torn down apartment.

"This is my home...I apologize for the mess...its never gotten this bad." Baron says as he places Karise down.

Kay looks at him, studying his new appearance now that he's no longer human.

He looks like a sheep.

She giggles to herself as Baron looks at her weirdly. "What do you find that is so funny child?" He asks in amusement. "You look like a sheep Barry!" She says in between fits of giggles.

His eyes widen as he panics. "What?!" He says with a startle.

Kay takes off her bookbag as she begins digging through it. Pulling out her small mirror, she hands it to him as he begins to inspect.

A gasp leaves his lips, shocked to see what he looks like now.

He's a tad horrified, but also curious, he supposes its to do with his scientific nature.

"Well this is now what I expected...as a scientist this is beyond my knowledge. What did he throw at me and how could this happen?" Baron says with curiosity. "I think it was that green ooze Lou threw at you." Kay says as Baron stops stroking his new beard.

"Green ooze?...!" Baron gasps in shock as he knows what hit him.

Mutagen.

He begins pacing back and forth as he explains what the green ooze...or rather mutagen is, as she sits down. Looking down at her from time to time to see if shes paying attention. She nods to him as he continues explaining in great detail of what is was gonna be used for.

"The formula I had made was incomplete...or so I had thought."

Did Lou Jitsu take it and finish it?

"It was suppose to be a scientific breakthrough but now..." Baron sighs as he walks over and looks out the window.

Kay frowns at this.

She gets up off the floor and walks over to Baron, as she wraps her little hand around his much bigger one. He turns his head downward and looks at her. "Do not worry about me Kay I will be alright...but now we have a bigger problem on our hands." Kay turns her head to meet his big brown eyes that are staring back at her.

"We need to stop Lou Jitsu." He says with determination.

Kay's eyes widen in disbelief...take on Lou Jitsu?

Karise must have looked scared as Baron ruffles her hair to qwell her fears. "Do not worry, I will teach you the art of Ninjitsu little one. So you may protect yourself. After all my father has taught me when I was your age once." Baron says as he smiles down at her.

Ninjitsu? She's heard that before from somewhere.

"Do you not know what Ninjitsu is?" Baron asks as the girl shakes her head no at first, but then nods. "Isn't it like fighting?" She asks.

He nods. "It is a form of fighting yes, but anyone can master it as long as you are brave enough to take on the challenge. Like my father and his father had done and so on, but do not fret I will explain it all, so take many notes little one. Your training will begin soon." Baron says as he watches the girl grow excited from what she is about to be taught.

With this a new story unfolds for the both of them.

If you have any comments or questions feel free to ask! Again don't mind the grammer (kinda suck when it comes to grammer) just enjoy the story. Also yes Baron Draxum is her step father! He's grown quite an attachment towards her and now he doesnt want to let her go and yes in this AU he was born human and is actually quite nice towards them...for the most part (he has a soft spot for children shhhh) but , I'll leave it up to your imagination at to what he would have looked like.

Here's child Karise! Not that good at drawing but hey it works lol. Your probably wondering to yourself who her step father is and why her parents are dead. All will be told in the prologue.

(If anyone wants to make a better version of child Karise feel free to do so, I would love to see it!)

...

"Ready or not here I come April!" Said the black haired girl, determined to find her best friend...but first she searches her room, just in case she was in here, but nope she finds no sign of April. The girl leaves to go check the other areas, hoping to find her.

She checks the kitchen first, nope shes not here surprisingly, since April likes to raid her fridge for drinks and food...sometimes. She then checks the living room, not here either.

"Would she be in mom and dads room?" The girl says out loud to herself.

With that she goes running towards her parents room, knocking on the door as she opens it.

"Mom, dad have you guys seen April? Were playing hide and seek." The girl asks but goes silent upon seeing a new face, one that looks familiar to her.

It can't be.

Everyone turns to look at the girl.

"My my, so this is your daughter Layla, she's got your looks for sure." The new figure says as her mother chuckles.

"I would think so Lou, but she's got her father's personality down to a pat. Isn't that right dear?"

The girl smiles and thanks her parents, but as she turns to leave she glances back at the man standing by her mother.

Something about him unerves the girl, but she smiles and waves as she runs outta the room in search of April.

She listens to what her father said and goes outside to her backyard.

As she wanders around she thinks about the man she saw. Her mother had called him Lou right? He cant be the famous movie actor Lou Jitsu...can he?

As she thinks about it her eyes widen, as she realises it was the famous Lou Jitsu. As she recalls seeing him on tv, she was a pretty big fan herself since she knew his signature catch phrase and watched all his movies.

The girl couldn't believe it, Lou Jitsu knows her parents!

If your wondering how her parents knew Lou Jitsu, well your gonna have to wait and find out. That's all im gonna write for now. I'm not the best when it comes to writing and im a little rusty...but nonetheless here you go! If you have any questions regarding Dark Descent please feel free to ask!

Living a normal happy life was not possible for her. From losing her parents at 5 years old, to gaining another father figure who becomes a mutant, and two brothers who were stranger than they seem. To training the art of Ninjitsu with her new father and brothers, she begins to make discoveries about herself. With that she teaches them the ability of mystic powers, which at first turns out to be a disaster. As they all learn their new ability's, they come to use their new found powers as they face the being who destroyed NYC, his name is Lou Jitsu...but what happens when something goes awry and they end up in another universe. One where Lou Jitsu is good and hes a father of 4 Mutant Ninja Turtles?

I call it Dark Descent.

I figured since theirs so many AU'S out, I wanted to create one of my own. Ill admit I'm not sure where this series will head, but hopefully it turns out to be a good one since I recently just got back in the mood to write, hopefully I can actually make this a good series...anyway! This idea came to me a few days ago and I figured id share it since I grew inspiration and motivation to write again from EternalGlitch's story "Like Father Like Son". I highly suggest reading it, it made me cry and get angry at certain moments. So please follow them, give their story a read!

Their will be warnings since this series will get very morbid and dark at times, so I would suggest if you are not comfortable with those types of stories then do not read it.

Since a lot of people here suddently stopped reblogging, here's a friendly reminder to reblog art/writing because in this way you can actually HELP artists/writers to get the stuff they post seen by others, letting them know what without taking away op's control on the post and

So please. PLEASE. Reblog art, reblog writing, it's full of small artists and authors here, who aren't going anywhere because people aren't reblogging anymore. Give artists and writers the occasion to grow, to become famous and bring happiness to others with their content. Because we put effort in what we do, and sometimes not getting any appreciation is very demotivating, and that could also bring someone to stop posting, y'know?

Reblogs make people who post original content feel valid, appreciated, supported. And people who reblog are a godsend.

I read a lot of writing in my line of work and while that’s amazing, I see the same flaws again and again. Below is a list of 7 common writing mistakes in fiction and how you can fix them. This list is by no means complete. In fact there’s a great list over at The Editor’s Blog that covers even more mistakes.

1. Bad dialogue

Sometimes writers can forget that they’re writing a conversation and thus not write a conversation. The dialogue can be boring, stilted and unnatural, and I’d rather listen to the territorial call of an Australian Raven than read one more word of it.

There are many things that contribute to bad dialogue, but here are the three that really get on my nerves:

Not using contractions–I’ve seen work that is modern and still doesn’t use contractions. Consider this: “You are going to be late.” Unless the speaker is trying to sound like an irritated mother and is leaving an emphatic silence between each word to sound threatening, use contractions. It sounds really drawn out and like the speaker is pointing their nose in the air. We generally don’t speak like this in real life, so neither should your characters.

Using complete sentences–Not only is it natural for your characters to chop their sentences, this can also contribute to their voice. Does your character say “I don’t know.” or “Dunno.” Would he/she say “I missed the train and had to find a lift home.” or “Missed the train. Had to find a ride.” In casual speech, we often only use the words necessary to convey our message, even if it doesn’t form a complete sentence. You shouldn’t apply this to every line of dialogue, but consider it if your dialogue sounds stale.

Using characters as a conduit for research and plot information–Sometimes writers like to show off their research (looking at you Jurassic Park), backstory, world building and plot by having their characters talk way too much. If your character says “Once this valley was home to an ancient race of elves, who looked after the land and treated it with respect. One day, the secret magic spring dried up and then the goblins came. Without their magic spring, the elves couldn’t fight back, and they were killed by the goblins. The goblins didn’t respect the land and now it’s uninhabitable.” he should probably shut up. It sounds less like a person talking than it does an audio tour. The information he’s shared could be given in a much more interesting way.

How you can fix it:

Listen to and watch the way real people talk to each other. Do they speak in full sentences with full words? Do they speak with grammatical correctness? Do they speak differently in different situations? How do hand gestures, body language and facial expressions help them communicate?

Read your dialogue out loud as if you’re practising lines for a movie. Does it sound natural? Does it flow?

Test every piece of information your characters give out. Does it all need to be said? Would your character say all of it at once? Do they need to say it all in so many words?

2. Passages of uninterrupted speech or thought

Sometimes you might want to avoid telling the reader about something and have a character tell another character instead. Sometimes you might want to avoid telling the reader how a character feels about something by having them think about it excessively instead. If this goes on for longer than a couple of paragraphs (or less), you risk allowing your reader to drift out of the scene.

The only thing anchoring your reader in the scene is your characters and what they’re doing. If the characters are talking or thinking for a long time without interacting with anyone or anything else, they might as well be floating in space, which can make the reader feel like they’re floating in space. That’s not to say that they’ve forgotten where the scene is taking place or who else is involved, just that it can feel that way if this is how the character acts.

How you can fix it:

If your characters have a lot to say, try to include the other characters as well. Have them ask questions or make comments so it feels like a scene and not a soliloquy.

If your character is around others when he/she is deep in thought, try to include the other characters in some way. If the POV character is thinking about something that the other characters can see, why not give voice to one of the other characters in between thought paragraphs?

If the character is alone when he/she is deep in thought, is there a way they can interact with their environment? Unless they’re standing in front of a wall, they should be able to see, smell, feel or hear something.

If your character is absolutely, completely lost in thought, is there a way you can bring some sort of image into it? For example, on page 216 of The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins, Katniss is thinking about how to treat a burn she receives. Almost the entire page is a paragraph describing a memory; however, there is still action in this memory and, therefore, there is something for the reader to imagine.

3. Not knowing when to/not to use said

Some people will tell you to use descriptive speech tags and others will tell you there’s nothing wrong with said. Both are true, but when do you follow the former and when do you follow the latter? And when do you use no speech tags at all?

Using anything but said and using nothing but said both get exhausting and boring very fast.

How you can fix it:

Below is a rough guide to what kind of speech tag to use. Please bear in mind that it is only a guide and will not and should not apply to every situation.

Said is unobtrusive–a way of letting the reader know who’s talking without making a song and dance about it. Specific verbs (e.g. whispered, shouted, mumbled) give the reader information about how the words are being said. Adverbial tags can also give extra information about how something is being said, but more often than not they can be replaced with a stronger verb (e.g. she said loudly can be replaced with she shouted). Writers can also fall into the trap of telling where it’s better to show when using adverbial tags, which can make the writing bland. Sometimes telling is better, but with speech tags, it’s usually better to absorb the reader in the conversation. If you’ve used an adverbial tag, go back and have a look at it. Is there a better way you could get the message across?

What you need to pay attention to when determining what speech tags to use is the context of the speech. If the reader is already aware of the manner in which a character is talking, it won’t be necessary to remind them every time the character speaks. If there are only two characters in the conversation, it won’t be necessary to finish each quote with he said/she said. Going back to #2, you can also do away with speech tags entirely and use action to demonstrate how a character is feeling, while also grounding the reader in the scene.

The key to avoiding repetition and blandness is to find a balance between using the unobtrusive said, using something more specific, and mixing it up with a bit of action, which means you might not even need a tag at all.

4. Too much description/overwriting

Sometimes it’s better to tell and not show. Some details just aren’t important enough to warrant a lengthy description. If you want your reader to know that it’s raining, you can write something better than “It was raining”, but there’s no need to go overboard and write a poem about how the puddles on the asphalt looked like a great abyss.

Think of description like camera focus. The more you describe something, the more focus you put on it. If you put enough focus on something, you eliminate everything else. What’s this? A close-up. What does a close-up in a movie tell you? That object of the close-up is significant.

Be wary: when you write thirty words describing the way the moonlight is reflecting off the inky black lake, you might not be just setting the scene. You might also be giving the lake undue emphasis, and it’s probably going to irritate your reader when they realise there’s nothing significant about the lake at all, you were just showing off your imagery skills.

How you can fix it:

Keep it real. What would the character notice, what would they think about it and is it worth the attention? And try not to focus on sight. Your characters have more than one way to perceive their environment, and incorporating their other senses can help build a 3D setting for your reader rather than just painting them a picture. Give the reader enough to imagine the scene, and no more.

5. Not knowing when to/not to use adverbs

There’s a lot of writing advice out there that will tell you to cut all adverbs. The result is that many writers now think adverbs exist only to eat their children and wouldn’t dare to ever use one.

There is truth to the advice, but to say “The road to hell is paved with adverbs”? Really, Stephen King? And his dandelion analogy assumes there’s no editing process.

Adverbs aren’t evil, but there is such a thing as using them ineffectively. Which of the below are more descriptive?

She ran quickly or She sprinted

“It’s a long way down,” he said nervously or “It’s a long way down,” he said

He was shamefully prone to anxiety or He was prone to anxiety

She sprinted not only gets to the point faster, it also creates a more powerful image for the reader. “It’s a long way down,” he said gives no indication of how the speaker is speaking or feeling; however, “It’s a long way down,” he said nervously is telling, not showing. Rather than using an adverb here, the writer could describe the speaker’s body language. He was shamefully prone to anxiety tells you how the character feels about being prone to anxiety and there is no stronger word to replace “shamefully prone”.

How you can fix it:

Ask yourself:

How would the meaning of the sentence change if the adverb was removed?

Can the adverb and verb be replaced by a single verb?

Does the action really need clarification?

Does the adverb add something to the sentence that can’t be described in another way?

6. No conflict in the beginning

The first few chapters of a lot of stories I’ve read involve the main character plodding along in their daily life. This is a good thing as the reader needs to get a feel for your character before the big plot things happen, but that doesn’t mean the first few chapters should be without conflict. I don’t want to read about a character waking up, looking at themselves in the mirror, getting dressed, getting coffee, going to work, getting home, going on a date etc. for three chapters. It’s boring and I don’t care about any of it.

The confusion might be caused by common story structure theories that say the main conflict enters the story at the first plot point, or 25% into the story. But this doesn’t mean there should be zero conflict at the beginning! At the beginning of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone Harry was told ‘no funny business’ or he’d be grounded. Not long after that, there was some vanishing glass and an escaped boa constrictor. After this happened there was a mysterious letter addressed to Harry, and he spent an entire chapter trying to get hold of it as the weirdness escalated. There’s conflict and a goal right off the bat, and the story hasn’t even really started yet. In The Hunger Games Katniss faces the Reaping. In The Hobbit Bilbo finds himself hosting a dinner party for dwarfs and being asked to go and fight a dragon.

How you can fix it:

Take a look at all the books you’ve read. Most of them (if not all) start with some sort of problem or goal. Study up on this to help you realise what makes a good beginning.

Don’t fill your first few chapters with characterisation and nothing else. Build your character in the context of a problem or goal.

Keep in mind that you find your characters more interesting than your reader does. What you like about your character might not be enough to keep the reader’s interest.

What’s going on in your character’s life? How is this going to influence what happens when the conflict or story goal takes the stage?

What would happen if you cut your beginning out of the story? Would the plot still make sense? Maybe it’s better to start the story at a later point.

7. Lack of story structure

When you write a first draft, whether you’ve planned it or not, there are going to be structural flaws. Maybe halfway through you thought of a way to solidify a character’s motivation. Maybe at the climax you thought of a way to strengthen your conflict. Maybe somewhere in the middle you had no idea where you were going with this and slugged your way through some boring scenes. It’s all good; this is how stories come together.

What should happen next is that you revise your draft with story structure in mind. There’ll be a lot of “I should add a scene here about this” and “what was I thinking when I wrote that?” and after a few goes, you’ll have a story.

Writers don’t always do this though (which, by the way, makes my job take longer and cost more). They’ll go through and fix all of the obvious problems, but what remains is a manuscript that still lacks a solid structure. It’s messy to read, it’s confusing, it’s clearly not thought out, and it feels like the writer is giving me the finger. I’ll regret paying for the book, stop reading it and leave a negative review on Goodreads. Is that worth not giving your book a good edit?

How you can fix it:

Read a lot. Make sure you have a decent grasp on different story structures. Make sure you understand the way stories progress, the way they’re paced and what keeps the reader engaged.

Re-outline. Or if you pantsed your way through the first draft, make an outline. Write a checklist for what each scene should accomplish and what each chapter should accomplish. Make a timeline of how the events progress and how the tension increases. Don’t base this on what you’ve written, base it on what you’ve figured out about your plot.

Edit ruthlessly. If a scene doesn’t measure up to your new plan, cut it. If it’s in the wrong place, move it.
