Summary
After suffering a terrible injury and being forced to sit on the sidelines while he recovered, Leo is itching to get back up top to cause some chaos and continue running jobs for his Master.
It seems that a lot has changed in the few months he's been benched though, new players and new faces creating all sorts of trouble for him and his brothers as everyone tries to move in on the Foot turf with Shredder still MIA.
And one in particular really seems to be hellbent on not just putting Leo and his brothers, but all criminals either behind bars or six feet under.
Sucks for him though that Leo thinks he's cute and finds it fun to toy with him, even against the warning of his brothers to not get involved with a vigilante.Casey on the other hand just wants to make the streets of his city safe while avoiding becoming a shish kabob by three very protective brothers with long- but undocumented- criminal histories.

Summary
It is 2125, Mutants are normal, and there are very big secrets hidden underneath the gun shop next to the sandwich shop that sells morally dubious salami.

I have too many original TMNT iterations, and this is one of them.

Summary
Donatello Hamato lived a hard life, he lost many things- His father, his childhood innocence, his close bond with his siblings and most of all...his sanity. He is now a mere husk of the turtle he once, with a slipping mind and a broken thread of everything he used to be. He is fine though, he promises.
The universe however doesn't believe him when he says so, so it chooses to send him back in time. Donatello doesn't complain, he takes his chance to make the lives of his family better. He chooses not to let them down.
Little does he know just how much his past life's trauma will bleed through....and how much he underestimated his family's love for him.
TL:DR- Donnie is thrown back in time without giving his consent, still he takes the chance to fix things but oops! He's mentally unstable and that scares the shit outta his brothers lol

Donnie's Cursed Tenure as Leader of the Resistance by Caffinatedcastiel

Summary
“I have had enough of this. From both of you.” He hissed, the months of built-up tension reverbing through the statement. “You are both wrong. You both know you are wrong and you can’t get over yourselves long enough to see it. I’ve had enough!”
“Donnie-” “Dee-”
“No! NO! I’ve listened to you two going at each other for longer and harder than we’ve fought some of the individuals in this room- no offense.” Donnie snapped, nodding at a few bewildered faces that were unfortunate witnesses to their dirty laundry. Figurative and literal. “This can’t go on any longer. I will not allow it.”
------
During the first go-around with the Krang Invasion, Donatello rises to the occasion and takes his helm as leader of the Resistance. The Earth may be a burning ship, but he will do all he can to protect his brothers and the humans that come to rely on them.

TMNT 2012 "Swapped" AU by BlackSand_Lover

Summary
"Four ninja turtles, mutated by a mysterious alien substance, must rise up out of the sewers and defend New York City against evil forces from both the past and present...." --
Quite literally, the title says it all. This is a 2012 TMNT writing where all the characters are swapped in roles and personalities. This is my re-written version of the show if it was in the AU. If you're from the discord server, hello, welcome to the chaos that is in my brain :3

Summary
May end up rewriting this at some point, but I didn't like where it was going. Will leave here for archiving purposes.
Not written in first person regardless of title.
After suffering from a horrible injury, Leo is itching to get back up top to cause some chaos and continue running jobs for his father. After sneaking to the surface with his brother however he runs into a new face (or should he say mask?) on the streets that seems hellbent on putting not only him and his brothers, but all the criminals in New York behind bars or six feet under.
Sucks for him though that Leo thinks he's cute and finds it fun to toy with him, even against the warnings of his brothers not to get involved with a vigilante.
Essentially, Leo is a giant thorn in Casey's side and Casey only wants to make the streets of his city safe while avoiding becoming a shish kabob by three very protective brothers with long- but undocumented- criminal histories.Now ‘Registered users only’ due to AI scrapping. Sorry.

Summary
Mikey has always wanted more room to be independent and be his own person. After a heart-to-heart with his eldest brother, that space was granted. Michelangelo was sure this was a positive until he started to notice that the attention that used to be his was now being given to another sibling. The jealousy grew quickly after that.
Alternatively:
After telling Raph he needed space, Leonardo started to receive the attention that Raph used to give Mikey. As it turns out, Mikey wasn’t as okay with that as he first thought.

Summary
“Please…close the door. Do not let any sunlight in”. The request caught everyone in the room off guard. The servant hesitantly closed the door and rushed to light a couple of candles. Shinobu immediately retracted her arms, raising her eyebrow.
“Ara ara, Why wouldn’t we want to let sunlight in?” Shinobu had an annoying gentle expression on her face, while Aoi looked hesitant and concerned. In response, Rengoku said nothing. Shinobu’s eyes bore a hole through his head from his lack of response. Rengoku felt his grip on the smaller tighten. Should he trust that the other pillar would understand? He hadn’t forgotten how the pillars had reacted to the Kamado demon. He hadn’t forgotten that the insect hashira had an excellent skill of silently poisoning demons. “I hope you are not implying that a demon is with you, Rengoku-san.” Her voice held a gentle tone but had a hint of malice behind it. Rengoku thought for a moment before firmly speaking in a low voice.
