Summary
“Where do you think you’re going?” Leo says suddenly. He storms after Mikey, reaching out like he’s going to grab him by the arm, and Donnie has just a second to think yeah that’s not good before Mikey whirls around.
“Back off!”
It stops Leo in his tracks so completely that it probably would have been funny in another time and place. He blinks dumbly, like the computer in his brain is rebooting. Donnie knows that this sudden temper of his was triggered by fear—that the sight of a knife flying towards his littlest brother’s head woke up something ugly in his brain that sprang to the defense in the quickest, easiest manner it could, clouding rational thought—but that doesn’t mean his words hurt any less.

Summary
Zoro scoffs and moves his captain closer.
“Go get your own.”
Chopper gapes wordlessly. All the rest of Nami’s nakama have a similar expression on their faces, something between stupefied and offended—save Robin, who presses a secret smile behind her hand, and Jimbei, whose rumbling chuckle is just barely audible over the sound of the sea.
Nami—who knows very well what Zoro looks like when he’s trying to get a rise out of someone, who knows very well that she has a claim on Luffy that only a handful of other people in the world share, one that can never be broken or stolen or changed—feels herself bristle, too.
“HE IS OUR OWN!” the majority of one of the most infamous pirate crews in the New World shriek like schoolchildren.

Summary
Gio had fallen into their lives at a point where the safety net had more holes than threads to hold. He was young, had the signs of a life hard won and fought through, but he tried. Absorbed absolutely anything his family would give him, even when it was nothing at all. Dark eyes, taking in any and all of the light he could just to find himself.
It was a tragedy in three parts just to watch him thrive off wavering candlelights and embers, wandering around the halls like a detective finding hints of some past crime.
Mikey squares himself. Finds that thread left in him that’s farther and farther away every day. Gio deserves the light, he can make some for him. He can.
Or: a series of standalone oneshots about Giorgio Hamato finding a home, getting adopted, and being loved back--not necessarily in that order. Set in both timelines.

Summary
“Who are you?” Leo asks stupidly.
“Gio,” the probably imaginary turtle replies.
Leo’s mouth runs off before he can stop it. “Just Gio? Like Cher?”
God, he thinks. That was stupid, Leo. Not the time or place, Leo. You’re in the prison dimension. You’re dying here and you can’t even cut the jokes now? Raph was so right about you.
But the imaginary turtle surprises him by smiling slightly, the corners of his mouth pulling just barely upwards in a way that somehow completely transforms him. Not the time or place for jokes or smiling at them but here they are. Like company.
Or: a long-lost brother takes the long way home.

Summary
“But don’t you know?” she asked. “Can’t you feel it? Did it get lost in that big heart of yours? One of your children is waiting for you.”
Yoshi jerked as if electrocuted. She couldn’t mean to say what it sounded like she was saying.
That tiny fourth turtle with the blue-patterned shell and bright gold eyes—the first one to smile and reach up to be held, the one that had fallen during their frantic escape and was left behind in the crush of the destroyed lab—the one the little shrine in Yoshi’s room belonged to, even though he didn’t have a proper photo, or a decent idea of what Blue would have looked like grown into personhood—the one that a corner of Yoshi’s heart belonged to, even now, even still—
“He’s alive, my darling,” his mother told him. In the dream, she sounded so certain. The clan symbol on her obi seemed to glow, a warm, shining thing that cast all darkness and doubt aside. “Go and bring my grandbaby home, okay?”
Or: Leonardo grew up in a Hidden City orphanage, but he had a home waiting for him all along.

Summary
Leonardo continued, "Even though the city knows about you guys, it’s in everyone’s best interests that we stay unknown. It’s easier not to explain four new mutant turtles to the general public.”
“They’ll think that we cloned ourselves,” Donnie mumbled. “Like Dolly the sheep.”
“And Sonic,” Raph added.
Michelangelo tilted his head. “The hedgehog?”
“No, the fucking honey badger,” Raphael scoffed. “Dumbass.”
“Your ass is dumb,” Michelangelo said, sticking out his tongue. “And flat.”
“You motherfucker – ”
Leonardo held up a hand. “You two can both be dumbasses once we’re back in our dimension, but for now, cool it. We’re on a mission. Act like it.”
Raphael pulled a face, but they both quieted down. Ooh. Leo would have to steal that trick. Maybe it’d work better than the tears that he usually resorted to when the guys got like this. Not that it worked very well.
Or,
5 times that 2012 Leo was the responsible older brother figure that the mm kids needed 1 time he was the biggest dork in the multiverse

Summary
Donnie’s hands are trembling, his brain fine tuning out the rabbit of conversation Leo sprouts from where he bounds beside him, and he’s clued into what he’s doing almost instantly with a lifetime of comfortable familiarity tucked under his belt — hamming it up high with practiced ease to keep the stress level down low as the alarms continue to blare, bathing the compound hallways in a cacophonous blaring of noise and red flashing lights that bite harshly at all his senses at once.
Raph barks something at the two of them as they round a corner, voice whittling down in the back of his throat as alarms continuously whirring and sounding off, accompanied by the sound of rushing footsteps that corner them like rats in mazes.
Donnie looks to Leo and Leo looks to Donnie.
They don’t need words. His liquid stream of thought seems to flow straight into his, like a river unchanging. It’s always been that way — twin telepathy that he’d forever been mildly skeptical of but welcomed either way for his brother's sake.
Until now. This is one of those really rare moments that Donnie purposely pushes him out.

Summary
You are farther than you were before, but somehow, you see them all the same—Purple and Orange lurch across the skyline like shooting stars, and Red chases after desperately, cutting through the air to catch them.
Blue does not join them.
Or: you are a minimum-wage window cleaner when the world ends.

Summary
Raph stayed awake watching over him, thrumming with anxiety over his brother in distress, and did not consider for even a moment that this wasn't natural. That everyone else didn't intuitively know exactly how their little brothers felt, all the way down to their bones. They were his whole wide world – of course he could. He couldn't imagine not knowing the beat of their heart as well as his own.
or: raph has big brother powers
