Runs in the family by BialyLis for alwerakoo

Summary
"Good job," Dad said as a greeting, not even waiting for anyone to get out of the car. "Only half an hour late. New record."
Papa looked like he wanted to start the engine, back up, run over his ex-husband, and finally, as if nothing ever happened, ask his sons if they wanted something from the McDrive. Instead, he unbuckled his seat belt and got out (probably so as not to tempt fate), standing in the still-open door (probably in case he decided to chase his dreams after all, even at the cost of prison).
"Purple didn't want to wear his shoes," he explained, looking at the other man over the roof of his car.
Or,
When Splinter and Draxum started dating, their friends gave them two years max. So they got married out of spite and adopted four little boys just to prove what a wonderful family they can create.
Their marriage died three years later and now they have to spend Sunday evenings in the parking lot watching their children hop from one car to the other.
Life could be worse.

Grappling With Things Beyond Your Control by SibillaScribbles08 for TheLameBat

Summary
The turtles victory over Shredder was glorious. Everything that came after was much less so.
And Donatello quickly finds that dealing with the loss of their home isn't the only problem on hand. His mystic powers, which he fully developed in less than an hour for a big fight, are starting to go haywire. He's not only discovering abilities he never knew he had, but all of them are acting in a way he hasn't learned to control.
He needs to get a lid on them before they get worse.

Bookmarker's Notes
Rise-Donnie accidentally temporarily replaces himself with an AI version when learning to control his ninpo. Frightening and utterly captivating story that dives into that edge-of-danger, out-of-control feeling that I love in Donnie-centric stories. Reminds me a bit of Whisper_Norbury's "All the Time in the World" in that sense.

Summary
“NOW! DO IT NOW!” Donnie screamed.
Orange energy blasted out of Mikey, pulling something red and wispy and flickering out of Raph’s red body, Red, covered in red, liquid red, a red flame flickering—
Mikey raised his hands and slammed them down.
An explosion rocked the lab. A wave of ninpō blasted Donnie into a back corner, where his battle shell barely caught him before he could slam face-first into his circular saw. The lightbulbs burst in a shower of sparks. Every one of Donnie’s purple screens winked out of existence, and when the orange energy dimmed, everything fell…quiet.
Donnie breathed, staring down the serrated blade, mind racing, racing, stuck, stuck in a—in a—in a loop—
“Mikey?” he heard Leo whisper from across the room.
AKA - The Hamato brothers deal with losing one of their own not once, but twice during the apocalypse.

Summary
“Time?” Mikey asked.
Leo had stolen a watch off a Krangified human a couple months back. After a thorough wash with clean water (Donnie insisted), he’d been permitted to strap it to his wrist. “Almost four. Gonna have to wait out the rain, so we might as well have Meal Three while we’re here.”
“I wish you’d call it dinner,” Mikey sighed.
“I will not,” Leo replied. “It’s the apocalypse. I’m taking every opportunity to define the slang of the era.”
“Sue me for wanting a little normalcy, Leon.”
“If our meal times were normal…” Donnie began.
“Yeah, yeah.” Mikey dropped his bag off his shoulder and dug through it. “How’s everyone feel about a nice tomato and oregano dinner?”
“Chef’s choice,” Raph rumbled exhaustedly.
~ ~ ~
The world just ended?!?! Oh no! Three months into the Krang Apocalypse, the battered Hamato brothers pick their way through the desolate, ravaged remains of New York, scavenging for food and supplies as they try to stay alive long enough to beat the Krang. Spoiler: they definitely won’t beat the Krang.
Or: the shitty lives of the Bad Future bros BEFORE their Future got Bad. The Shmedium-Bad Future, if you will.

Summary
Mikey is a very attentive individual.
He may have a hard time focusing, but his memory is great, and he can easily remember small details if he thinks about them long enough.
Donnie had called it photogenic memory before April tore him apart. Or was it photographic?
Maybe Mikey will ask him about it, now that he's come back.
Or, after The Power Inside Her, April can't bring Donnie back. However, Mikey starts to see his brother around as if he never left. If it looks like Donnie and sounds like Donnie, it must be him.
It has to be him.

Summary
Inspired by CAS.
Starting at episode 12: Everything is falling apartAs the world falls apart, Leo becomes the leader of what’s left, carrying grief, sacrifice, and impossible choices on his shoulders, especially the loss of his twin. Years pass, hope thins, and survival demands more than anyone should have to give.
Donatello’s death leaves no ghost, no echo, no hope of reunion. Only a silence so complete it fractures Leo from the inside out.
These are the moments of grief during the two years without his other half.

Summary
Donnie chuckled under his breath.
“What?” Raph asked.
“Nothing. I thought that squirrel seemed a little nutty.” Donnie paused, eyebrows raised, but Raph did not give him the satisfaction of a laugh. “Uh, nevermind. The fridge works fine. It’s just the lightbulb that’s out.”
“Oh, great,” Raph said. “Give it a twist and let’s get the hell out of here.”
“Mikey would’ve laughed.”
“I’m not Mikey.”
“No,” Donnie sighed. “You’re not.”
Raph wished he remembered enough about his youngest brother to understand all the nuanced layers of meaning in Donnie’s statement. But since he didn’t, Raph let it pass.

The M-Bomb has detonated over New York City. Having lost his family and his memory, Raph wanders through an apocalypse with nothing to tie him to his past except his brother, Donatello.

“Right,” Mikey snorts, and then gestures down towards his setup, all but beaming with pride. “So we’ll ease into it! Instead of tryin’ to like, skydive right to the meat of the, uh, bare bones-“
“Mixing metaphors. Cross-contamination,” Donnie says. He is actually factually correct, and also actually factually ignored.
“-I’ll draw you a picture! You get a little distance, Leo doesn‘t get mad at me ‘cause I let you watch the giant monster Don video, and also I get to show off a bit, which. Never hurt a guy, y’know?”

Leo keeps a daily log in the apocalypse. If only the past stopped trying to be relived.

Summary
prompt: ice skating
The lake was large and surrounded by bowing reeds, heavy under the weight of accumulating frost, as a thin sheen of ice collected on the surface of the water, winking at them both where the winter sun made it glisten.
Leo is happy to admire its natural beauty from afar, hunkering down into the snug warmth of his fleecy jacket as a bitter wind brushes by.
Donnie, on the other hand had somehow required an itch to get closer and investigate to quell his ever growing curiosity."Just be careful, Dee," Leo warns him as his brother takes an eager step forwards, half frozen leaves crunching underfoot. " It might not be safe."
To that, Donnie turns his head and throws Leo a sparing smile from over his shoulder.
"I know what I'm doing, Leo," he tells him in a matter of factly manner. "I won't go far — I just wanna see how well the environment is surviving beneath the ice. For science."

Summary
prompt: obituary
You called me stupid once, and only once when you were really mad at me for breaking your telescope that one time. You once gave me a fat lip when you elbowed me way too hard during warm ups. You used to rip ass and always blame it on me and laugh when Leo left the room after chewing me out. You sometimes left the toilet seat up when you peed and again, blamed that on me. You were a terrible liar, a god awful cook, you sung so badly when I always knew you had the voice of an angel. You never let me win Street Fighter even when I was being a sore loser. You once got drunk at April and Casey’s wedding after party and lovingly called me the runt.
You did a lot of really good, beautiful, wonderful, awful, horrid things in your short, tragic life.
I guess it gets easily tangled to the point I can’t remember whether those things are supposed to be good or bad, in the end.

"Donnie’s not sure if Raph or Leo have noticed it, but Mikey tends to slip through the cracks of awareness when he doesn’t want to talk about something. He misdirects them with laughter and pranks and happiness. Pushing too hard right now would probably send Mikey behind that mask, but it’s telling that Mikey has sought Donnie out."

Mikey has some concerns about why he isn't able to sit still when it's so easy for everyone else. He decides to go to Donnie about it.
