    "Has anyone ever asked Joaquín to stay?"

    It was a blindingly simple question that hit Manolo with the strength of a rampaging bull. But then, María always asked the most difficult questions.

    Summary

    prompt: heart attack

    He settles on having a shower, hoping that whatever it was that was plaguing him could just be washed away with a bit of his lavender soap and a healthy amount of steam.

    Except it seems to make things a lot, lot worse it would appear. Especially the steam.

    He stops mid scrub to shut the water off and stumble right out of the spray, desperate to crank open the door just a smidge to release some well needed fresh air into the tiny, boxy bathroom.

    He doubles over, almost taking the basin with him as a result as he tries to catch his breath.

    It hadn’t felt like a panic attack, that he was sure of, and showers weren’t normally a source of his triggers in such instances.

    Still. The fluttery chest aches and the nerves and the sweating and now this sudden breathlessness seemed to be adding up to conduct the perfect recipe for one such attack.

    Summary

    April O'Neil wakes up in a New York City that doesn't remember mutants ever existing. For the first few days, neither does she.

    In order to figure out what happened, she's going to need some help--regrettably not from the backup she wants, but from the only backup she can get: Cassandra Jones. Who is not her friend.

    Summary

    When Raphael is old enough to dare to read Splinter's prized book of High Renaissance artists, spelling each word under his breath so he can make sense of it, he comes to the realization that his father made a mistake.

    ....

    [or] Raphael is an artist. He was not meant to be an artist.

    Summary

    ”Trust no one, Mabel,” Ford says.

    Mabel wants to refute him. But she remembers a box full of lies and a secret basement. She remembers a button, and a plea, and a room of white light. She remembers the choices made that led her here, an impossible distance from home. And although she still can’t agree with Ford… she can’t reject it, either.

    Mabel falls through the portal.

    Summary

    “Hey, hey, no, it’s okay,” Raph says quickly, heading off the very loud reaction he can sense building up between them like an active geyser. “Shh, Mike, come on. I’m fine.”

    It would work a lot better if one of the two hands he held up to shush him wasn’t bloody. Mikey’s panic wracks up another three levels automatically.

    Relationships have to start somewhere. Or, once you've jumped into a garbage chute with people you kind of either decide to like them or you don't.

    Basically, Han and Leia from trying-not-to-think-about-her to declarations of love at the least convenient times. (ANH through just after the end of ROTJ)

    Summary

    “Hey, Miguel! Have you ever thought of sharing this stuff online?”

    That’s how it starts, with Leo draping an arm around his shoulders and grinning ear to ear, giving him a little shake. They’re all together on a rooftop, looking at Mikey’s latest creation, a big sprawling spray of the sunflowers he’s only ever seen in pictures.

    “What, like, publicly?” he asks, craning his neck to look up at his big brother. “You think it’s that good?”

    “Of course I do!” Leo holds his arm out, painting the rosy picture his mind has conjured with his words. “I can see it now! Famous artist Michelangelo, brother to the even more famous athlete-actor-rock star Leonardo!”

    Mikey starts an art account, and learns a few things along the way.

    Summary

    “You are so lucky you don’t have any siblings.”

    Leo pursed his lips, staring up at the night sky above them. The two sit in silence for a while, the weight of it growing heavy on Leo’s chest. He chewed on his lip, eyeing April lounging next to him picking at a chip in her nail.

    “...I had a brother, April.”

    Leonardo is an only child, has been since Dad lost Green Two when they were babies. When he stumbles into a hidden city beneath New York, he meets a pair of mutant turtles that claim to be his brothers.

    Summary

    “It has been a long time since a sick little turtle has called for me,” Splinter murmured, stroking Blue’s forehead around the bandages. “Normally you are all ready to fight each other to the death to monopolize Red’s attention.”

    It was only partly a joke. Leonardo gazed up at him, eyes glassy. It was hard to gauge how much of their conversation was sticking the landing and how much was somersaulting straight over his sluggish head.

    Then Leonardo said, “He hates me.”

    “Pardon?” Splinter said stupidly.

    His son blinked, and finally fat tears rolled down his cheeks, soaking into bandages on one side, unchecked on the other.

    “He hates me,” Blue insisted. “He’s right. It was my fault.”

    Summary

    ''You died exactly 1660 days ago.

    People have been coming into your house, recently.

    An unkind looking lot, in black suits and ties, stomping around the rooms, wandering eyes and dismissing hands.

    Then, awful men in work clothes, covered with soot and stains, armed with paint, drills, hammers, spending hours digging their cruel tools, uncaring hands into the flesh of your home.

    You watch them work – wipe away dust, refresh the kitchen cabinets, put down a carpet in the prettiest shade of purple – and you seethe.

    This is your home.

    "Years and years ago, the last of the lord alchemists set out to create monsters. From three hundred, he'd made five; and from them, only one was ever returned. But he came back wrong. Optimism overflowing, compassion abundant- there are times when Mikey devastates him."

    Summary

    Laying there with Raph’s twinkling nightlight in the corner and the sound of dad’s TV down the hall, Mikey thinks about things that last forever, things you can never outgrow—inside jokes between siblings, skilled hands wrapping sprained ankles, a door standing open in the dark in case you couldn’t sleep.

    Then he thinks about those looks on Raph’s and Leo’s faces when they thought no one was watching. How lonely they’ve both been without their best friend on their team.


    Or, how a Mikey makes everything better.

    Summary

    Dr. Connor Maverick wasn’t unaccustomed to unusual cases.
    He did specialize in exotic animals in New York City after all.
    But the four turtles that walked into his clinic were defiantly the most unusual clients he'd ever had.
    Because they had walked in. Literally. Walked in. Under their own power. On two legs. And they were all at least five feet tall.
