    Summary

    It had been a bad week for triggers. Small things kept catching him off guard. The clink of metal in the kitchen drawer, the smell of antiseptic when Mikey cut himself training, the sounds from Donnie’s lab. How he spent those hours obsessively checking security feeds. Cataloging threats that felt more real with each passing night. All leading up to tonight. Tonight's patrol that should have been routine. It wasn't.

    Summary

    It was Leo being perfect that broke Mikey's heart. Every movement precise. Every form flawless. Leo moved through advanced katas with fluid grace, correcting Mikey's stance with gentle hands and endless patience. But Mikey had noticed something. Something small. Something that made his chest ache every time he saw it. Leo never watched himself in the dojo mirrors anymore.

    Summary

    Leo's internal clock used to be impressive. Years of meditation and discipline had honed it to near-perfection - he could tell time almost to the minute without looking. Now it's... different. Not less accurate. More. Painfully so.

    Summary

    Leo catalogs his brothers in fragments, in details, in small moments, proof of reality that his mind can't fabricate. Small things. Real things. Just one more way of keeping them safe. One more way of staying present. One more way of making sure this is real. This time.

    Summary

    "Ya had a death wish!" The words exploded out of Raph before he could stop them, "Runnin’ in there alone. Again. Takin’ on twice as many as ya could handle. Again." Leo's jaw clenched, "Someone had to-" Raph cut him off. "Had to what? Had to be the sacrifice? Had to prove something?" "Had to keep you safe!" The words tore from Leo's throat, raw and jagged. The silence that followed was deafening.

    Summary

    Leo couldn't remember what his brothers' voices sounded like. The thought hit him with sudden, devastating clarity, setting his heart racing against the sensors stuck to his chest. The tank's perfect silence had stolen even his memories of sound, replaced them with an endless void that pressed in like a physical weight. What if he forgot everything?

    Summary

    The muscle damage in Leo's shoulder had been getting worse for weeks. What started as tremors had become violent spasms, the traumatized tissue seizing randomly. He couldn't maintain a proper grip anymore. Couldn't trust his own arm to respond when he needed it. Until Bishop noticed how it was affecting his response trials.

    Summary

    The seizures started three days ago. Leo lay strapped to the examination table, muscles trembling with the memory of the last one. But that was the least of his worries. Because Bishop's latest compound was doing something to his brain. He was starting to lose time between episodes. Starting to forget things. Little things at first. What he'd eaten last. When they'd last run tests. Then bigger things. Until this morning, for a moment, he couldn't remember if Mikey's eyes were blue or brown.

    Summary

    The first punch connected with satisfying force. Leo's knuckles split against the practice dummy, blood smearing across worn canvas. The pain felt real in a way nothing else did anymore. Three AM. The lair was silent except for the rhythm of his fists and the soft scrape of his feet against worn mats. "Ain't ya supposed to be resting?" Leo didn't jump at Raph's voice. Didn't flinch. "Couldn't sleep." The words came out steady.

    Summary

    Raph hadn't slept. None of them had, really. But he was the only one still here when Leo's eyes opened again. The infirmary lights were dimmed. Don's idea, after that first time. After seeing how thel brightness had made Leo's whole body flinch. Raph knew the second Leo woke up. His brother's breathing changed first. Too careful, too measured. Like he'd forgotten how to just breathe. "Still here, Fearless."

    Summary

    Disinfectant. The smell hit first, familiar as breathing now. Leo's heart slammed against his plastron before his eyes even opened, muscle memory preparing for cold steel and latex hands. Leo kept his eyes tightly shut, heart rate already climbing as he tried to catalogue his surroundings without moving. The surface beneath him felt wrong - too soft where there should be steel or concrete. The air too warm, holding scents that couldn't be real. His breath left his lungs as realization hit. Home.

    Summary

    Everything felt wrong today. Leo had woken at 3 AM, heart racing from dreams he refused to remember. The lair's familiar shadows had seemed deeper, darker. Wrong. By morning practice, his skin felt too tight. Like it didn't belong to him anymore. "Raph, your guard is dropping." The words tasted like copper in his mouth, "Focus." A muscle jumped in Raph's jaw, but he adjusted his stance without comment. Wrong. Everything was wrong.

    Summary

    After a devastating defeat by the Shredder during the Kraang invasion, Leonardo is captured and subjected to the dark machinations of the witch Kitsune. Bewitched and scarred, Leonardo is made to believe that the Hamato Clan is the architect of his suffering, convinced they are responsible for years of psychological and physical abuse. When Raphael, Donatello, and Michelangelo return to New York, they are horrified to find their presumed-dead brother now a vengeful and far more powerful adversary as the chunin of the Foot Clan.

    Or the City Fall arc from the IDW comics adapted in the 2012 cartoon iteration.

    Summary

    “hamartia (noun): a fatal flaw leading to the downfall of a tragic hero or heroine.”

    Donatello was irreplaceable. He knew that for a fact - he had built his own worth up so high, there was no way anyone could fill his seat at the table. There was one thing that Donatello would never be; that he would never LET himself be. He would never be a liability.

    -

    Or: Donnie loves himself, but he doesn’t like himself, and it takes him being critically injured for anyone to notice the difference.

    Summary

    Leonardo doesn't belong here, he's not crazy, all he did was down a bottle of aspirin and almost jump off a building, not that big a deal. He's not crazy so why should he be in a psychiatric unit?

    While Leonardo comes to terms with the fact that he needs to recover and has to stay in a psychiatric unit/ward he meets 5 unique people who become his friends, and one to become his potential lover? Leo learns about others' mental struggles and his own.

    OR

    Leonardo Hamato was not crazy. He wasn’t supposed to be here. Did he look like a crazy person? All he did was down a bottle of aspirin and then chicken out from jumping off a building. He was wishing he wasn’t a wuss and just took the leap, but nooooo he had to call his Uncle Hueso because he had second thoughts. Well now he was having third thoughts, and those thoughts were telling him he was stupid for not jumping.
