Summary
On their own, sometimes they can be reasoned with, the Baron had warned Donatello, the night he’d asked to see the surface. But when they gather… He’d looked away, his eyes dark. There’s a reason we live in a hidden city.
(or: Donatello has lived in the Hidden City for fourteen years. And then, after a series of events involving three rogue mutants, glowing mosquitos, and an explosion, he suddenly doesn't anymore.)

Summary
There was nothing that Donatello wouldn't do for his family. They meant everything to him, they were his entire world, they were all he needed. It didn't matter what he had to do to keep them happy. To make sure they were safe.
Unfortunately, that also meant changing parts of himself his brothers didn't necessarily understand. Its what they wanted, so its what Donatello would do.
Or, five things Donatello changed about himself and the one time his family found out. Inspired by the song Perfect Machine by Starset

Summary
This plan would work, it had to work. There was no other option.
Alas, now with the task at hand, Donnie was forced to face two undeniable truths he had avoided until this very moment.
The bomb had been set to go off within 10 seconds of detonating.
Donatello did not have the time or equipment to reset the countdown.
He knew there was no chance he could make it out before the bomb went off.---or---
Stuck in an impossible situation, Donnie is faced with two options:
protect his family or walk away.
The only problem is, to save his brothers may cost him his life. -

Summary
In the aftermath of the Krang attack, all Donnie could focus on was Leo. With their resident medic down for the count, it was on him to make sure their brother didn’t succumb to his wounds. In the span of a few days, he had nearly lost two of his brothers, and Donatello would really rather not think about that, so taking on the medic role was a welcome excuse to ignore those pesky emotions. He really couldn’t afford for his vision to blur from tears, his hands to shake with nervousness, or his heart to beat an erratic rhythm against his plastron while he was busy stitching skin and resetting bones – so Donatello did the one thing he could think of at the time.
He selected his amygdala and zipped its file shut.

Summary
Donnie just injected unknown mutagens into his bloodstream.
It seemed a good idea at the time (approximately five minutes ago). He can’t remember his logic now, mostly because he didn’t write it down. It was probably something about reversing mutations. Whatever, it doesn’t matter anymore.
He cannot tell a living soul about this incident.
[A surprisingly fluffy story about Donatello accidentally mutating himself and realizing how much his family loves him.]

Summary
He stared at the little clip and listened to what was apparently his own heart beating. It was a very weird moment to realize that while he knew what the rhythm of his own heart was, he did not know his own name, where he was, or what happened to him.
or: donnie forgets a couple things.
