Y/n stared out of the window, watching the fields of Tennessee blur past, the early morning sun casting long shadows over the countryside. This town had never felt like home, not truly. Not since they realized who they wereâa boy in a body that didnât quite fit. That discomfort, that gnawing feeling, had always been there, just beneath the surface. But it wasnât until they met Anthony that everything became clear. Anthony, with his loud laughter, confidence, and unapologetic flamboyance. His bright eyes like neon and his Italian accent that fit his face just right. They had met at a dive bar when Anthony had flown in from LA, all talk of dreams, lights, and big cities.
Y/n had never met anyone like him. Anthony made LA sound like paradise, and the way his eyes sparkled as he spoke about performing made something click inside of them
I know you wanted me to stay
But I can't ignore the crazy visions of meâ inâ LA
And I heardâ that there's a special place
Where boysâ and girls can all be queens every single day
"You ever thought about leaving this place?" Anthony had asked one night, the two of them sitting on the hood of Y/nâs car, the stars twinkling above them. Y/n had hesitated, then nodded.
"Every day."
"You got that fire, N/n. I see it in you." Anthony had said with a grin, his cigarette dangling from his lips. "You could be anything out there, you know? Come with me to LA. I perform at this club called the Pink Pony Club. Itâs a place for people like us, people who donât fit anywhere else."
Y/n had laughed, a bit incredulous. "You think I could perform? Like⊠on stage?"
"Hell yeah!" Anthony had punched them lightly in the arm. "I can already see it. Weâd tear it up together."
I'm having wicked dreams
Of leaving Tennessee
Hear Santa Monica
I swear it's calling me
Won't make my mama proud
It's gonna cause a scene
She sees her baby girl
I know she's gonna scream
---
Leaving home had been a fight, though. Y/n's mother had found the plane ticket tucked away in their drawer.
"Youâre not leaving," her voice was sharp, eyes wide with panic. "What do you think youâre doing, Y/n? Running off with that boy to God knows where?"
God, what have you done?
You're a pink pony girl
And you dance at the club
Oh mama, I'm just having fun
On the stage in my heels
It's where I belong down at the
Y/ had squared their shoulders, heart pounding but resolute. "Iâm going to LA, Mom. Iâm going to perform with Anthony at the Pink Pony Club."
"Thatâs not real life!" Her hands flew up in frustration, voice rising. "This isnât who you are! Youâre just confused, Y/n!"
"Confused?" Y/n's voice broke. "You donât even know who I am! Youâve never listened, not once! Iâm not confusedâIâm finally figuring it out. Iâm leaving."
Tears had welled up in their motherâs eyes, but Y/n had already turned away, grabbing their suitcase. The pain in their chest was sharp, but it was nothing compared to the suffocating life they would have if they stayed. They didnât look back.
Pink Pony Club
I'm gonna keep on dancing at the
Pink Pony Club
I'm gonna keep on dancing down in
West Hollywood
I'm gonna keep on dancing at the

LA was everything Anthony had promised. The lights, the energy, the thrill of the stageâit was a world that Y/n had only ever dreamed about. Performing at the Pink Pony Club became their life, the rush of adrenaline from being on stage filling every void that had once been left empty.
The first night Y/n performed with Anthony, it felt like magic. The two of them danced together, the music pulsing through their veins, lights casting them in a warm, ethereal glow. Y/n had never felt so alive, so seen. On stage, in front of the world, they were exactly who they were meant to be.
I'm up and jaws are on the floor
Lovers in the bathroom and a line outside the door
Black lights and a mirrored disco ball
Every night's another reason why I left it all
As the months passed, the connection between Y/n and Anthony grew stronger. It started with stolen moments backstage, laughing about the wild characters they encountered at the club. It grew into late-night conversations about their dreams, their pasts, their shared pain of feeling like outsiders. Slowly, their friendship turned into something deeper. Something more.
I thank my wicked dreams
A year from Tennessee
Oh, Santa Monica
You've been too good to me
One night, after a particularly electric performance, Y/n found themselves sitting next to Anthony on the rooftop of their tiny apartment. The city stretched out below them, buzzing with life.
"You ever think about what it would be like if it all just stopped?" Anthony asked, staring out at the skyline.
Y/n frowned, glancing over. "What do you mean?"
Anthony shrugged, his usual bravado dimmed, his fingers absently tracing the rim of his drink. "You know, if all the lights went out. If it all just... ended."
Y/n's heart clenched. "Anthony, are you okay?"
Anthony looked at them, his expression softening. "Iâm fine, toots. I just think too much sometimes."
Won't make my mama proud
It's gonna cause a scene
She sees her baby girl
I know she's gonna scream
But they knew better. There was a weight to Anthony that hadnât been there before, and it scared them. With all the partying they did, drugs, drinking...everything had made them wonderâŠ
God, what have you done?
You're a pink pony girl
And you dance at the club
Oh mama, I'm just having fun
On the stage in my heels
It's where I belong down at the
Pink Pony Club
I'm gonna keep on dancing at the
Pink Pony Club
I'm gonna keep on dancing down in
West Hollywood
I'm gonna keep on dancing at the
Pink Pony Club, Pink Pony Club

The overdose came suddenly, though, in hindsight, Y/n had seen the signs. The long nights, the pills that became more frequent, the way Anthonyâs laughter started to sound hollow. Y/n had tried to help, but they hadnât known how. They werenât enough to save him.
Anthony was gone.
Don't think I've left you all behind
Still love you and Tennessee
You're always on my mind
And mama, every Saturday
I can hear your southern drawl a thousand miles away, saying
The funeral was a blur of pain. Y/nâs world crumbled, and they found themselves back in Tennessee, standing at the doorstep of the home they had once fled. The fight with their mother was inevitable.
"I told you!" she had screamed, her face red with anger. "I told you this wasnât real! And now look! Look where itâs gotten you! God what have you done?!"
God, what have you done
You're a pink pony girl
And you dance at the club
Oh mama, I'm just having fun
On the stage in my heels
It's where I belong down at the
Y/n had been too numb to argue, the guilt and grief sitting like a stone in their chest. They had felt like an outsider everywhereâLA, Tennessee, and now even in their own skin.

Pink Pony Club
I'm gonna keep on dancing at the
Pink Pony Club
It wasnât long after that Jade found themselves in the same spiral. They continued preforming but they went harder everytime. Double the alcohol, double the drugs...double the pain. The pain of losing Anthony had been too much, the crushing weight of trying to survive without him too heavy to bear. It was easier to numb it all. To slip away.
And then one day, everything went dark.
When Y/n opened their eyes, they were in Hell. Landed hard on the front steps of some hotel where people were talking.
The irony wasnât lost on them. Hell was loud, chaotic, filled with the type of characters that would have fit right in at the Pink Pony Club. But amidst the chaos, there was one face they never expected to see again.
Anthony.
I'm gonna keep on dancing down in
West Hollywood
I'm gonna keep on dancing at the
Pink Pony Club, Pink Pony Club
Except now, he wasnât Anthony. He was Angel Dust, a larger-than-life version of the man Y/n had fallen in love with. It was shocking at first, seeing him again. Y/nâs breath had caught in their throat, their heart racing as Angel dust sauntered over, that familiar smirk on his lips.
"Toots? Is that really you?" Angel asked, voice teasing, but there was something soft in his eyes.
Y/n nodded, too overwhelmed to speak. They couldnât believe it.
"Well, well," Angel grinned, "guess you really couldnât stay away from me, huh?"
I'm gonna keep on dancing
And just like that, the years of pain, the grief, the loneliness melted away. They were back together, in Hell of all places, but it didnât matter. They found a new club, one even better than the Pink Pony Club. The lights were brighter, the crowds wilder, and on stage together, it felt like they had never been apart.
I'm gonna keep on dancing
Y/n and Angel performed night after night, their love for each other rekindling, this time without the weight of the world dragging them down. The bad was still included...but it was dulled. It felt more at home at the end of the night. In Hell, they could be exactly who they were meant to be.
IM ACTUALLY REALLY EXCITED- Might start writing for the boys...and Rouge- but we'll seeeeeâĄ
HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII, can I request a poly sbg x fem gyaru reader who gets bullied by Barron and his friends? (Angst but a very fluffy ending) :3
Poly! SBG x Fem! Gyaru! Reader
Warnings: Bullying.
I do not condone any sort of bullying. Being a victim in the past, its horrible and drives people to awful thoughts, feelings and actions. please be kind to one another<3
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The school hallways buzzed with chatter, sneakers squeaking against the tiled floors, and lockers slamming shut. But for you, the day was anything but bright.
âHey, Barbie doll!â Barronâs mocking voice echoed down the hall, his posse snickering behind him. You clenched your fist, nails digging into your palm, refusing to let him see how much it hurt.
You were used to being a target for Barron and his friends. Your gyaru styleâtan skin, flashy nails, bold makeup, and stylish clothesâwas an easy target for their cruelty. They teased you for being "fake" or "attention-seeking," but today, their taunts were sharper.
âGot tired of coloring books and decided to color your face instead?â one of his lackeys sneered, drawing laughter from the group.
You forced a smile, acting unfazed as you strutted away, your platform shoes clacking against the floor. Inside, though, their words hit like daggers.
It didnât take long for the gang to notice something was wrong. You always radiated confidence, a sunny presence that lit up even the darkest corners of the graveyard. But lately, youâd been quieter, more withdrawn.
âSomethingâs up,â Aiden said one afternoon, pacing the inside of the bus.
âIâve noticed too,â Ashlynn agreed, her brows furrowing. âSheâs been covering her face with her hair more. Thatâs not like her.â
âWhoâs messing with her?â Tyler growled, his fists clenched.
âIt has to be someone at school,â Taylor guessed, her usual happy demeanor replaced with a rare seriousness.
It wasnât long before the pieces came together. Aiden overheard Barron bragging about how he âput that doll in her place,â and that was all it took to send the gang into action.
Barron and his friends were lounging by the lockers when the group cornered them. Tylerâs eyes burned with fury as he slammed a hand against the metal beside Barronâs head.
âYou think itâs funny to bully her?â he hissed, his voice dangerously low.
Ashlynn grabbed one of Barronâs lackeys by the collar. âSay something else about her, and youâll be eating through a straw.â
Logan, though less physically intimidating, stood beside them with a cold, calculating glare. âShe deserves an apology.â
Barron stammered, his usual bravado crumbling under the combined wrath of the group.
âW-We were just joking!â he tried to defend.
âDid she look like she was laughing?â Tyler snapped, his tone uncharacteristically sharp.
By the time they were done, Barron and his crew were shaking, muttering apologies before scrambling away.
Later that evening, the gang found you sitting alone on the steps of the graveyard bus, your knees pulled to your chest.
âY/N,â Ashlynn called softly, sitting beside you.
You looked up, your eyes glassy. âHeyâŠâ
Taylor plopped down on your other side, her arm draping over your shoulders. âYou didnât think weâd let them get away with it, did you?â
âWhat?â you blinked in confusion.
âBarron and his goons,â Aiden explained, leaning against the bus. âThey wonât be bothering you anymore.â
You felt a lump form in your throat. âYou⊠you didnât have to do that.â
âYes, we did,â Tyler said, crouching in front of you. âNobody messes with our girl.â
Tears welled in your eyes, but they werenât from sadness. For the first time in days, you felt safe. Loved.
Taylor nudged you gently. âCome on, donât cry beautiful!â
âYeah,â Logan added with a small smile. âDonât ruin the makeup you worked so hard onâ
They pulled you into a group hug, their warmth wrapping around you like a protective shield.
âYouâre not alone,â Ashlynn whispered. âNot anymore.â and Ben softly nodded, patting your head lovingly.
And in that moment, surrounded by your makeshift family, you believed it.
"Every time I close my eyes, it's like a dark paradise
No one compares to you
I'm scared that you won't be waiting on the other side
Every time I close my eyes, it's like a dark paradise
No one compares to you
I'm scared that you won't be waiting on the other side"

Gunfire. Screaming for a medic. Not having enough time
It happened too fast. I watch as he lay lifeless on the concrete floor, several gunshot wounds to the stomach and chest⊠right through the vest.
As the unit communicated through coms, the world went quiet for me. I froze, my heart pounding in my ears as my blood ran cold. Rage and anger but sadness and regret. I was frozen, stuck in one spot as I stared down at my now dead best friend. He had been there my junior and senior year of highschool and enrolled into the military with me..I was at his damn wedding- âY/N! Pull yourself together!' I heard Soap's voice ring out sharply, his words cutting through the silence that I thought was there. 'This isn't a field trip, L/n! Get your ass into gea-â another gunshot and a yell. My head whipped around to Soap who was now bleeding from his bicep. âFuck..â I had to move, I had frozen in the middle of fire. My heart sank as I realized the severity of my actions.Â
Ghostâs POV
Soap's words had stung her, but they also served as a harsh reminder of her duty. I ran out just as L/n looped her arm up under Soapâs, making their way back to the hall we took cover in. I could only serve a sharp look her way. âL/n, You're a lieutenant. Act like one.â I grumbled under my breath. She put her head down as the rest of the unit met back at the evacuation heli.
No ones POV
After returning to base, a run-down shack in the middle of nowhere; they were able to get Soap down and banaged after removing the lodged bullet in his arm. âFuckinâ âell Soapâ Ghost mumbled after watching Y/n bandage Soaps arm. âL/n, what the hell were you thinking? People die everyday- You couldâve gotten Soap or yourself killed.âÂ
Y/n nodded âYes Ghost I know, I know the severity of my actions and what couldâve happenedâŠIt wont happen again.â she mumbled before leaving. Soap grabbed Ghostâs arm with his good one, âGo easy on âer mate. Howâd you feel if yaâ lost her in combat?â Ghost nodded, âI knowâŠHave to be harsh on her out frontâŠPrice would have our arse if he knew-â Soap patted his comradeâs arm and nodded âI know. Just go get âer.â He mumbled before relaxing back into his temporary bed.
Ghost returned to their shared room to find Y/n sitting on the edge of the bed, her back facing the door. Tears streamed down her face as grief consumed her, not only for their fallen comrade but also for the realization that her panic and freeze up could have jeopardized Soap, herself and the whole mission⊠So many more lives couldâve been lost if she had stood there another second-
âY/n,â Ghostâs deep voice rang through the silence of the small room. He closed the door and made his way over to her, his heart heavy.
'I'm sorry, Simon,' Leah whispered, her voice trembling. 'I let you down.'
Ghost crossed the room and crouched in front of her. With a soft touch, he rested his ungloved hand on her knee, his gaze meeting hers. 'You didn't let me down, Y/n.â
'But I panicked,' Leah protested. âI couldâve gotten Soap or someone else on the team killed. I-If I had stood there another second, It could've-â
âWe all have our moments of weakness, Y/n,â Ghost sighed, cutting her off. âBut it's how we respond to them that truly matters.â
Ghost's words brought a glimmer of solace to Y/n. She leaned into his shoulder as the final walls broke as she cried openly into her partners shoulder. He held her close, whispering soothing words into her hair. âLet's honor your friend,â Ghost suggested softly. âWe'll give them a separate burial, just the two of us tomorrowâŠI know they were your best friend.âÂ
âHe was practically my brother Simon..â she hiccuped. âSo lets make them feel honored. He may be gone but not completely.â Ghost soothed her to the best of his ability. Comfort wasnât his specialty, it was Soapâs. Being with Y/n, he had to learn a thing or two as to, in words of Soap, âNot be a fucking dick-faced-prickâ.
The following day, they found a secluded spot, far from the temporary base in the forest clearing. With solemn hearts, they laid their comrade to rest, offering a whispered prayer for their eternal peace. As they filled the grave, Y/n felt a sense of closure. Though the sorrow would linger, she knew that her friend had found their way to the afterlife. It hurt her but she knew it was always going to hurt when she lost someone she loved. She knew when she joined, they both did. But as she looked at her partner beside her, she felt relief that she wasn't going through this alone. The man might be harsh, rude, and unfeeling on the outside but she knew what laid in his heart and she loved him for it all.
Together, Ghost rebuilt Y/nâs shattered spirits. They recognized the strength in their connection and the importance of supporting each other through their darkest hours. Y/n's panic had been a harrowing experience, but it had also brought them closer together, forging an unbreakable bond that transcended the battlefield. He knew she was going to be okay, not today or tomorrow, but sheâll get through this and heâd help her till the end.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The cool breeze of the New York night swirled around you as you stepped into the alleyway. Leather hugged your figure, each buckle and strap glinting under the dim streetlights. You werenât working tonightâthis was your time to relaxâbut the confidence you carried wasnât something you turned off. It was part of you, something Raphael noticed immediately.
He leaned casually against the brick wall, his massive arms crossed and the curve of his lips teasing the beginnings of a smirk. "You always dress like you're ready to knock someone on their ass?"
"Wouldn't you like to know?" you quipped, meeting his gaze with the kind of sharpness he thrived on.
Raph chuckled, the sound low and gravelly. "Yeah, maybe I would." He pushed off the wall, stepping closer. Despite his size, there was a carefulness to the way he moved around you, as if he knew you were just as much a force to be reckoned with as he was.
"Careful, turtle," you teased, your voice silk over steel. "You might bite off more than you can chew."
His amber eyes gleamed, a challenge dancing within them. "Oh, I ain't afraid of a little fight. But somethin' tells me you donât like it when things are easy."
You smirked, taking a deliberate step closer, letting your confidence wash over him like a tidal wave. "Good guess. I donât. So, what brings you here, lurking in the shadows like a lost puppy?"
He snorted. "Lost puppy? Lady, I ainât no puppy. Iâm the big bad wolf."
You let out a soft laugh, tilting your head slightly. "Then I guess itâs your lucky night, wolf. I happen to know how to handle wild animals."
For a moment, the tension between you crackled like static electricity. Raphael wasnât one to back down, but neither were you. He admired that. Hell, he respected it.
âYou think youâre somethinâ, donât ya?â he said, his smirk growing.
âI donât think,â you replied, your eyes locking with his. âI know.â
Raph let out a deep, throaty laugh, running a hand over the back of his neck. "Alright, alright. You win this round."
"Every round," you corrected, stepping past him and brushing your hand lightly against his arm. "But you already knew that."
As you walked away, the clack of your heels echoing in the alley, Raphael watched you go, shaking his head with a grin tugging at his lips.
âDamn,â he muttered under his breath. âI think I like her.â
âââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââ
The alleyway became your unofficial meeting spot, a neutral ground where the cityâs hum softened just enough for you and Raphael to spar in more ways than one. Tonight was no different. The moon hung high, casting a silvery glow over the streets as you leaned against the brick wall, waiting.
"Youâre late," you called as Raphael emerged from the shadows, his hulking form easily recognizable even in the dim light.
"Fashionably," he quipped, tossing a sai in his hand as if it were weightless. "What? Miss me?"
You rolled your eyes, pushing off the wall. "I missed the chance to remind you whoâs in charge. Thought Iâd get another shot tonight."
Raph smirked, the confidence radiating off him in waves. "That so? Guess thereâs only one way to settle that."
A playful grin spread across your face. "1-on-1?"
"You read my mind."
You didnât waste time with formalities. The second he nodded, you lunged, your movements sharp and precise. Raphael deflected, his speed surprising for someone his size. The clash of your intensity against his raw strength made for an electric exchange, each blow dodged or countered escalating the tension between you.
Finally, you spotted your opening. You ducked under his swing, pivoting behind him, and with a burst of calculated force, you slammed him against the brick wall. The impact echoed in the alley, and you had him pinned, one arm locked across his chest while your knee pressed into his side.
"Not bad for a turtle," you teased, your voice a mixture of triumph and amusement. "But youâre going to have to try harder than that if you want toâ"
Before you could finish, Raph twisted his body, using your own momentum against you. In a fluid motion, he flipped you, your back hitting the wall this time. His arms caged you in, one hand pressed near your shoulder while the other rested at his side, effectively blocking any escape.
"Was that hard enough for ya?" he asked, his face inches from yours, a cocky grin tugging at the corners of his mouth.
"Not bad," you admitted, your breath steady despite the situation. "But pinning someone isnât the same as winning."
"Funny," he drawled, leaning in just enough to test the boundaries. "I thought the same thing when you had me against the wall."
The corner of your mouth curved upward, amusement flickering in your eyes. "You like being manhandled, donât you?"
Raphâs chuckle was low, rough, and undeniably teasing. "Only if itâs by you."
You pushed against his chest, forcing him back just enough to step away from the wall. "Careful, turtle. You keep sweet-talking me like that, and I might think youâre starting to enjoy losing."
"Who says Iâm losinâ?" he shot back, his smirk growing. "This is just round two."
You adjusted your stance, brushing off your jacket. "Then I guess we better settle this properly."
Raph cracked his knuckles, his eyes gleaming with excitement. "Lady, youâre speakinâ my language."
The alley buzzed with the same electric energy as before, but this time, it was laced with something even sharper: mutual respect, attraction, and the undeniable thrill of a challenge that neither of you wanted to end.

This takes place after the events of the Kraang invasion. Idk why but TMNT been a recent hype fixation (I blame Chaos), and I've just been wanting to write for it until I start getting requests! Much Love!
-Writer Icy<3
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The sound of distant explosions echoed through Leo's mind as he tossed and turned in his sleep. The Kraang invasion replayed vividly in his nightmare: the city in ruins, his brothers fighting valiantly but being overwhelmed, the despair that had clawed at his heart. Raph being taken and Kraang possessed, Donnie's broken battle shell, Mikey's tears- He jolted awake, gasping for breath, his chest heaving with the remnants of panic. It felt real.
For a moment, Leo lay still, staring at the ceiling of his room, trying to shake off the nightmare. The familiar surroundings did little to comfort him, and the images of the invasion lingered in the corners of his mind. Deciding he needed a distraction, he quietly slipped out of bed and made his way to the kitchen.
The apartment was silent, having stayed with his s/o for the night, the only sound being the gentle hum of the refrigerator. Leo flicked on the coffee maker, watching as it gurgled to life, the rich aroma of brewing coffee filling the air. He leaned against the counter, rubbing his eyes, trying to shake off the residual fear.
As he poured himself a cup, he heard soft footsteps approaching. He turned to see his s/o, their hair slightly tousled from sleep, padding out of his room. They gave him a sleepy smile before wrapping their arms around him from behind, resting their head against his shell.
"Leo, what are you doing up?" Y/n murmured, their voice soft and concerned.
He forced a smile, trying to play it off. "Just couldn't sleep. Figured I'd make some coffee."
They didn't buy it. They never did. With a gentle but firm tug, y/n pulled him away from the counter, guiding him back to the living room. They sat down on the couch, patting the spot beside them. "Come on, talk to me."
Reluctantly, Leo sat down, his shoulders slumping. Y/n rubbed his shell comfortingly, their touch soothing the tension that had built up in his muscles. "Was it a nightmare?" they asked, their voice barely above a whisper.
He nodded, not trusting himself to speak just yet. Y/n continued to rub his shell, their touch grounding him, bringing him back to the present. "The Kraang invasion," he finally admitted, his voice hoarse. "I keep seeing it... hearing it."
Y/n pulled him closer, letting him rest his head on their shoulder. "You don't have to go through this alone, Leo. I'm here for you."
He sighed, the weight of the nightmare beginning to lift as he felt their warmth, their steady presence. "It's just... it was so real. I thought we were going to lose everything."
"But you didn't," Y/n reminded him gently. "You and your brothers fought back. You saved the city. You saved each other."
He nodded again, feeling a bit more at ease. "I know. It's just hard to forget."
Y/n held him tighter, their hand still rubbing soothing circles on his shell. "I understand. But you don't have to carry this burden by yourself. We're a team, remember?"
A small smile tugged at his lips. "Yeah, we are."
Y/n kissed the top of his head before leaning back, coaxing him to lie down with them on the couch. "Let's try to get some more sleep, okay? We'll face whatever comes next together."
As he nestled against them, feeling their heartbeat steady and strong beneath his cheek, the remnants of the nightmare finally began to fade. Their presence was a balm to his troubled mind, and he let himself relax, the tension melting away.
With their gentle touch and reassuring words, Leo found himself drifting back to sleep, the nightmare banished by the warmth and love of the one who held him close.
