Summary
“That’s a turtle,” Leo observes intelligently. “A ninja turtle.”
“Don’t forget the mutant part,” Raph tacs on. “Otherwise, I’ve got questions.”
“I’ve still got questions,” Donnie retaliates.

A Not So Good Day by Leonardo1885
Fandoms: Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Cartoon 2018)
13 Oct 2025
Tags
Summary
The hinges had groaned, and the door caught for a moment before it began to move more easily.
But that’s where Leo’s luck had given out. The edge of the door had begun to swing forward faster than Leo had been prepared for. It had knocked into his bad leg, which had whited out his vision at the same time he’d felt himself falling forward. Automatically, he’d thrown his hand out to catch himself on the wall, but only found open space, he’d dropped his crutches automatically trying to find something, anything to grab onto to stop himself from falling, and had found the edge of the doorframe. He’d had just a moment to realize he was on the wrong side of the closet door when something heavy had knocked into his shell.
With his balance already precarious, and his fingers wet with sweat from all the walking he’d been doing, his tedious grip was wrenched free from the doorframe as he was shoved deeper into the closet before the door had shut, enclosing him in darkness.
----------
Or Leo finds himself trapped with no way of contacting his brothers. But it's all good because he's technically still in the lair, right?

Endure Alone…or Together? by Purpleandbluelove24
Fandoms: Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Cartoon 2018)
20 Nov 2025
Tags
Summary
After being kidnapped by a mysterious organization, the Hamato brothers are separated and experimented on—physically, mentally, and emotionally. Each is told the others are gone. But what their captors don’t realize is that the bond between these brothers is more powerful than any chain, any scalpel, any lie. This is a story of resilience, pain, and the love that holds them together even in the darkest depths.

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.

Operation Sleepy Slider by Artralic
Fandoms: Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Cartoon 2018), Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - All Media Types
06 Oct 2024
Tags
Summary
“Trust me this is way more serious.” Raph tries to bring the younger turtles up to speed, only to be interrupted.
“Booooo! No, you know the rules! No seriousness on Lazy Sundays!” Mikey is a big proprietor of lazy days and makes sure everyone follows the rules of having a stress free day. It works only because it guilts them all to rest, if only so Mikey isn’t stressing about them not resting.
“It’s Thursday Micheal.”
“Yeah but it has the spirit of Lazy Sunday”
“Guys!” Raph’s outburst brings their attention back to him, but their deadpan stares show they still don’t appreciate the seriousness Raph is trying to infringe upon their relaxation.
“Guys, we got a code Sleepy Slider on our hands.” Raph’s voice is grim, his face shadowed with the weight of the situation they find themselves in.
With the code spoken, Donnie and Mikey sit at attention.

Tags
Summary
Mikey knelt beside the hive, watching the bees flit in and out, their tiny bodies heavy with pollen. Their steady, purposeful movement soothed him, making him feel a little less adrift and uncertain.
“Hey, little dudes,” he whispered, a small smile tugging at his lips. “You guys are working hard today.”
The bees didn’t answer, of course, but Mikey liked to imagine they understood him.
Or, Mikey starts a beehive and talks with the friendly little bees when things get to be too much. A Farmhouse AU.

Bound to the Bottom by nayoichi
Fandoms: Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Cartoon 2018), Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - All Media Types
09 Oct 2025

Summary
The Hidden Empire glitters with silk and gold, but beneath the shine, it rots. In the Upper Rings, nobles drown in wealth and false smiles, while in the Lower Rings, families starve and gangs fight for scraps. At the center stand four brothers. Raph, the eldest, shoulders the weight of becoming the next Hamato heir. Leo and Donnie, the inseparable twins, charm courts and ballrooms even as the performance slowly suffocates them. Mikey, the youngest, hides behind a smile, underestimated though a dangerous power churns inside him.
The nobles’ greed poisons everything. Their games leave scars on the working class, their cruelty fuels unrest, and their hunger for control spreads like a disease. In the shadows, gangs rise to meet them, but none escape the iron grip of the Syndicate, whose reach coils from the gutter to the golden courts.
Yet whispers stir of masked figures moving beneath chandeliers and alleys alike. They don’t only perform. They plan. They hunt corruption, unravel murders, expose secrets buried deep. Ten years ago, a sister vanished. Ten years ago, her name was erased. Now the past claws back, and with it, a name the Empire fears.
M.I.A.
Chaos is only beginning.

Summary
Rise! Disaster twins find themselves trapped in a whole new dimension with no clear way out.
With the recent trauma obtained from the invasion, things are a bit hard. Donnie loves his brother to death, and if getting trapped in another dimension is what it takes to be able to make Leo open up, oh well. Donnie can't say he is much better.
They are gonna at least have some fun while they figure their way back home.-
Disclaimer, I have not watched 2012 in ages, so it will probably not be accurate, bashing will stay minimal and 2012 Splinter is still alive. Yey, I guess.
This thing will be full of HC but I will try to keep the turtles as non-oc as possible.Series

Summary
“Why did I say that,” Leo mutters. It doesn’t sound like a question.
Donnie answers anyway. “Because you’ve refused every single one of my attempts to get you into therapy. Telehealth exists, Nardo. We’re on a very good insurance plan.”
“Since when do we have insurance?” Raph says. He’s peering out from under the overhang into the rain, like maybe Mikey’s going to make a surprise reappearance. “Are you frauding some sleezy millionaire again?”
“Just doing my part,” Donnie says mildly.

In universe 2003, Donnie tries to experiment with the inter dimensional gun the 1987 turtles had given him. Instead, he accidentally creates a multiversal chat room for many different versions of his brothers, and counting.
It certainly makes life…interesting.TLDR: multiverse group chat between most iterations of the turtles. Starts with 2003, 2012 and 2018 but more are added as I go. 50% plot and 50% chaos.

Summary
They’re recovering. Slowly. Messily. But they are recovering. And for the first time since shouldering the weight of leadership, Leo feels free. Free to breathe. Free to exist. Free to mess around, laugh, explore, and actually enjoy being alive without the constant dread of messing up again.
Sure, he threw himself into the Prison Dimension. Sure, he sacrificed himself to keep the Krang contained. But it wasn’t some suicidal gesture, god, no. It was just the only plan that gave them a real chance. And he trusted his brothers. He knew they’d pull him out. That trust is what kept him moving. He lived. He survived. The city is safe. His family is alive. The Krang are gone.
So… why can’t his brothers see that?
OR, All Leo wants is to be trusted again. (And to get his privacy back.)

Leo’s new friend by EndlessBread

Summary
Leo’s insomnia was at it’s peak after the whole Kraang Shebang, late night thoughts absolutely demolishing his sleep schedule. Somehow that ends up becoming the main factor in Leo landing in a fifty-something year old woman’s apartment at the ripe time of three am.
Since both of them are tired as fuck, the insomiacs come to the conclusion of becoming late night no sleep buddies, and old lady Rose finds herself quickly becoming a parental/guardian figure in this poor sad teenage turtle’s life. Leo goes crazy trying to figure out how to keep this a secret from his brothers.
TLDR: Leo accidentally adopts a sour old Grandma named Rose as his Parental/Guardian figure and shit hits the fan.
