    Summary

    Separated as freshly mutated baby turtles, Leo (aka X, aka Experiment Alpha 002-2) is raised by the great and powerful Baron Draxum, to be the warrior he was designed to be.

    A few years later, when Splinter's three sons are turtle tots, their father reveals to them that a fourth brother perished in a fire; and Donnie tells his dad that he dreamed about this fourth turtle.

    Fast forward to the present, the three turtles are bumbling teenage ninjas who get in the way of the powerful Draxum. His ninja assassin is ordered to deal with the medddlers, and during combat the caped, masked ninja is surprised to discover the mutant turtle from his childhood dreams is not only real, but also his very own brother.

    X wants to draw close to his brothers, but the slider's only father-figure wants them dead, after they refuse to join him and subsequently destroy his lab.

    Thrown in the middle of two worlds, will X carry out the will of his master, or will the lives of his family be precious in his eyes?

    Also, as time progresses Leo must find the answer to some hard-hitting questions, such as: Who can he trust? Who is steeping him in a cesspool of lies and deception? And...

    Where will his loyalties lie?

    Summary

    Everyone around Leonardo knew that he had issues. His mood swings were unpredictable, his coping mechanisms unhealthy at best, and his body soon became a canvas for all kinds of bruises and cuts, intentional or not. His brothers did not want to lose him, and neither did his parents or his friends. But how are you supposed to help someone who just doesn't want to acknowledge that they have a problem?

    A series of snapshots in the life of Leonardo Grayson, tied together by the philosophy of Miyamoto Musashi in the Book of 5 Rings.

    Summary

    I have a lot of headcanons and snippets about the ROTTMNT turts and need somewhere to put them, so here we are. No spoilers for the show or movie, just a bunch of ficlets. Technically these are all in the same universe, but they’re also all standalone chapters. More tags will be added as I write chapters, but there's not going to be any triggering/dark topics, this is 100% fluff. The first chapter is an index and I'll be updating every Friday.

    (Temporarily paused but not abandoned!)

    Leo doesn't like weddings. He's content with this.

    All until an admittedly cute stranger comes barrelling into his life, bound and gagged in the hold of a Hidden City schooner.

    Summary

    How could a simple job interview go so wrong?

    Donnie had spent his whole life locked away in his own little bubble, learning to become a doctor, and an engineer. He'd searched to find the man who'd killed his parents since the day he'd been placed with his aunt.

    Just his luck he'd end up in a Game run by Gods no one had ever even heard of, where the only way out was death.

    Leo had been alone for so long, closed down after he'd been entered into the Race. He always thought he'd be the lone survivor; the last one standing when the five years were up.

    Now?

    Well now he wasn't so sure anymore.

    -----

    His terror was nothing like his anxiety, it wasn’t a bittersweet slide against his senses, mixed with a flurried jumble of thoughts that he didn’t even bother to pick through. It was cold, and it tasted like pins and needles, sharp in his mouth. His thoughts still flitted by at rapid speed, but they were different now, horrified.

    Could he really look a child in the eyes, feel his fear, then kill him?

    Summary

    Italy was supposed to be their fresh start—or, as fresh of a start as a group of pirates and assassins could get. Really, it was no wonder when things went wrong, but the brothers thought things would last a little longer at the very least. After all they'd been through, they'd gotten their hopes a little too high, and the twins were paying the price.

    ---

    Leo wanted to say that he fought, that he kicked and thrashed; that he made an effort to live, but he would be lying. It would do nothing more than tire him out faster, kill him faster, and he wasn't ready to let go yet. It would do nothing more than tire him out faster, kill him faster, and he wasn't ready to let go yet. Internally, he apologized to Donnie, then to Raph and Mikey, and his dad and April. He was sorry for anything wrong he'd ever done, for leaving them. He knew he wasn't making it out, the chances of him getting out alive was very slim, and if Donnie tried to get him out he could end up dead too. Leo knew Donnie would die to try and save him, and he also knew that he would never be able to stand it.
