    Summary

    The usual story: Turtle gets captured by evil scientists, turtle gets experimented on (read: tortured), turtle gets rescued...
    But instead of the usual brotherly rescue, a certain yokai steps in instead.

    Or:
    Baron Draxum does not UNDERSTAND why the red turtle will not just stay STILL for recovery, while Raphael tries to break out of Sheepman's weird castle-house before he uses him against his brothers or something evil like that.

    Summary

    They are a system, a beautiful blend of purpose and trust.
    Michelangelo is the Heart. Donatello is the Mind. Leonardo is the Blade.

    —and Raphael is their Shield.
    He is the one who stands first, who falls last—who absorbs what was never meant for him. He lives to protect what he loves.

    But when the shield begins to crack, worn down by a dangerous enemy—
    when the protector finally needs protecting—
    who will shield him?

    Summary

    It’s Easter, and the boys kick off the day by relaxing in the sewers’ lazy river.
    Things take a chaotic turn when Leo discovers four brightly colored eggs hidden deep within the murky water channels. Cause when they crack open their fancy little finds, the surprise inside isn’t chocolate—it’s a full-on body swap!

    Can the boys adjust to their new bodies in time to stop Meatsweats from ruining a topside Easter egg hunt?
    And more importantly… will they ever get back to normal?

    "It all happened so fast. One second Raph’s fists were clenched by his sides, shoulders tense and trembling, listening to Leo shout at him for stealing the yellow crayon and breaking it—that he knew it was Mikey’s favorite, and he ruined it (of course he knew that! He didn’t mean to break it, it was an accident!)—and the next, Leo was on the floor and Raph’s knuckles were stinging, still suspended midair."

    Or, Raph runs away as a tot and finds his way into Big Mama's Introductory Battle Nexus Program.

    Summary

    The brothers more often than not found themselves bickering and poking fun at each other. I mean, what could be more fun than annoying your siblings? It was a challenge—and a certain blue-banded brother LOVED challenges.
    And what better day than today to plan a few harmless pranks for his brothers? He has nothing better to do at- 7:30am. His insomnia demands entertainment. And he shell provide.

    Leo decides to prank all of his brothers to cure his boredom. But when the prank results in a broken pair of goggles and an annoyed purple twin, the two brothers find themselves on the surface searching for a replacement part—and stumbling into trouble instead.

    This family is set out to make Raph's life hell, he swears.

    How are all his brothers so bad at taking care of themselves? Or relying on other people? Or just going to bed for goddamn once?

    (Not that Raph gets to talk-- But they don't know that, right?)

    ///

    Or, three times Raph had to convince his brothers to go to bed, and one time they returned the favor.

    (Or: Mikey’s sick, Leo has nightmares, and Donnie’s- Well. Donnie. Someone’s gotta take care of the kids.)

    Summary

    Raphael has never been taught how to want things for himself – only how to protect, endure, and stay behind.

    So when his brothers move on without him, chasing their futures, the lair grows emptier and the days blur together. Raphael slowly disappears into the space he was never meant to fill alone.

    It takes an outsider to realize what the family has overlooked.

    ~~~

    ORR this idea won’t get outta my damn head so I have to write it out. The brothers leave for something in the hidden city - be it a career or education. But Raph stays behind, failing to realise how much their absence will affect him.

    Summary

    “You gotta go,” he said, lifting Leo up last and shoving him in just as his brothers red slashed face began to pull into a frown. Weirdly smart brain putting together all the pieces. “You gotta go."

    He could see the exact second Leo realized what he really meant was ‘You gotta leave me behind’.

    Probably unsurprisingly, Leo did not like that.

    “No!” Leo hissed, claws scraping over Raphs arms. “No! Don’t leave, don’t go! You can’t!”

    Raph grabbed his hands. They were so small and cold, slimy with dirty sewer water.

    “Leon!”

    Leo froze. His eyes were huge, glassy with tears and fear and he was shaking. Little tremors that rocked him from toes to fingertips. All the bravado and laughter was gone, not a hint of a smile left.

    He was scared, Raph realized. He was so scared, and Raph was the only one that could make it better.

    “Leon,” Raph said quietly. “I can’t fit.”

    “No,” Leo said miserably. Crowded up behind him, Donnie and Mikey were crying, clinging to Leo’s shell and the walls, refusing to let the water wash them down. “You can make it, I know you can—“

    Raph shook his head.

    “No," he said quietly. "I can’t."

    Summary

    "No", he screamed as he pulled himself back from Leo. "Don't touch me! Leave me alone!" His words were slurring together, making them sound jumbled and messy.
    Eyes screwed shut in absolute fear, Raph curled in on himself and shivered.

     

     

    Or, Raph tries dealing with the trauma from being krangified alone until he just can't function properly one day.

    Summary

    Leo says, “But can I please wear your jacket?? Please please pleaaaaase, Raphie?”

    Raph blinks, glancing up at him. The gaping surprise makes his tear-sticky face feel funny.

    “The one I just got? Leon, it’s—” Ruined, he can’t bring himself to say. He can’t even bring himself to look at it.

    “The coolest thing ever, I know,” his little brother says enthusiastically, pushing the door open the rest of the way and hurrying inside. He snatches the jacket up off the back of the chair it’s resting on and holds it out at arms’ length, admiring the details. “Honestly—can I be honest with you? I didn’t think much of it at first, like, when I saw it in the magazine. But after your modifications?” He whistles low, something he learned to do specifically to annoy Donatello.

    “Modifications?” Raph says uncertainly.

    “Yeah! DIY style is big, you know! And ripped clothes are in.”

    Summary

    Raph watched as Leo’s finger trailed along the more Mikey appropriate aged movies toward Splinter’s more adult themed ones.

    “Leo, what are you doing?” Raph asked suspiciously, voice laced with enough concern that it drew Donnie’s attention away from his phone to glance suspiciously over at his twin.

    Leo waved back at Raph in a dismissive manner, carefully reading through the titles before making up his mind and pulling his chosen DVD off the shelf.

    Raph stared at the picture on the case with skepticism not at all sure that he liked the image that was making his stomach sink with dread. “Halloween? What’s that about?”

    “I thought the title would be obvious, Raph. It’s about Halloween! Trick or treating, wearing costumes and eating candy. What else would it be about?” Leo asked, rolling his eyes in Raph's direction.

    Or a movie night right before Halloween doesn't quite go the way Raph planned, now he has to deal with the aftermath of it when it becomes obvious that something is seriously upsetting one of his brothers.
