Summary
Both New York and the Hidden City are bustling once again. People online - as well as the local street corner lunatic - are already claiming the Krang invasion was just some big government conspiracy despite the fact that the lines between human, yokai, and mutant are starting to blur. It's business as usual again, at least that's what Leo tries to tell himself. His brothers have finally stopped hovering, they're going on missions together again and stirring up trouble just like before. Surely his current bout of insomnia and restlessness was nothing to worry about.
What he needed was a distraction; training and meditation was too familiar, too routine, so maybe he could pick up a new hobby, or find a new friend to hang out with? As much as he loved his big extended family - Draxum unfortunately included - sometimes they cared too much.
A low-stakes friendship was just what he needed. Someone outside of the family that didn't know about his past injuries, past mistakes, or anything about his past in general. That was the one and only reason he kept seeking out that rabbit.

Summary
When tension and silence fester within the lair, Leonardo—burdened by pressure, arguments, and the weight of leadership—makes a devastating choice. Discovered too late by his family, his death shatters the foundation of the Hamato clan. Left to grapple with grief, guilt, and unanswered questions, Splinter and the brothers must navigate life without their leader, each struggling in their own way to understand the unthinkable.
A heartbreaking exploration of loss, love, and the bonds of family tested by tragedy.
A continuation of Random Ramblings of an Incoherent Mind. This picks up from the stand alone, one shot and follows the discovery of Leo and how his family copes with his decision and the reality without their brother at their side.
If you have not read the one shot that inspired this story, do not worry - it stands as the first portion of the initial chapter. You can start reading here and will experience the full heart wrenching journey. You were warned.

Summary
Leonardo has always been the shield for his brothers, carrying their weight, their anger, and their mistakes. But when the burden of leadership finally breaks him, he begins to wonder if his family would be better off without him. In his darkest moment, he puts pen to paper and leaves behind words his brothers were never meant to read.
For ease of understanding, I will leave this single chapter as a complete one shot. To choose the fate of our leader, check my stories: The Life of Leonardo and The Death of Leonardo. The first chapter will be the same, before we move into the heart wrenching results of your choice.
Two paths. Two endings. One choice.

Summary
What if instead of Leo, Donatello was the very last mutant alive? What if he was thrown fourteen years into the past to fix Leonardo's mistake? To stop the seemingly inevitable apocalypse?
Even worse, what if they only had three days to find the Key that unleashes the Krang? The same key that Dee had been trying to find for fourteen years, even trying to find its previous location before the invasion of the Krang and their ship proved futile.
What if, through these attempts at saving the world, he realizes that his world isn't a planet, it isn't the Earth. It's a person. The person who he could've been, the one he needs to protect. So that Donnie can have the opportunity to be the things that Dee feels it's too late for himself to be.
(Future Donatello is referred to as 'Dee' and present/past Donatello is referred to as 'Donnie')

Summary
Leo and Donnie have always been closer to each other than the others, not that they would admit it. They loved each other's company. Often they would go exploring as kids, maybe swimming. They would find cool stuff that they would bring back and brag to their brothers about.
They still explore, but not as often as they used to.
As Leo stares at the object on his twins desk, he realizes something. This explains everything.
Or: Leo senses something is off with Donnie. Turns our he's right.

Summary
[PAUSED]
- For now."Raph......?" Mikey says while looking at Raph who is now in the hands of Shredder. Everything seems wrong about it, Raph wielding a pair of Tekkō-kagi while standing beside Shredder. Mikey looks sad and disappointed that his brother was fighting with the enemy, Though it isn't entirely Raph's fault. It was Shredder's.
-
My take on what if, Raph never got out of Shredder's control? What if he just stayed mind-controlled for a few episodes?
