Summary
Ten years ago, Splinter found a young mutant baby turtle one night and took into the family, naming him Michelangelo
The older brothers helped Splinter raise the little one but due to his ADHD/autism disorder, Splinter fears that making Michelangelo into a ninja would be dangerous due to his short attention span and lack of understanding things clearly
Nine year old Mikey wishes to be like older brothers but feels like he's not good enough. He's always left behind in the lair with Splinter while the other brothers go out on petrol.
Throughout the story, He learns the true origins of how he was found by Splinter and upon feeling sad that Splinter doesn't trust him enough to be like his brothers, Raphael and the others one by one help train Michelangelo to be a ninja to which they realises that maybe Mikey does have the making of what it takes to be a true ninja and can hopefully help Splinter see that maybe Michelangelo does have a chance to be a great ninja like his family
But can the young turtle fulfill that wish and accomplish the hard tasks that await him?
The following story contains some dark themes, mild violence and mostly fluff.

When I Said I Was Asexual I Didn't Fucking Mean This. by Anonymous

Summary
"Asexual reproduction.” Don had replied once out of the blue, his response to Leo's poking and prodding. Tired of Leo’s endless questions. “I’m reading an article on asexual reproduction, specifically on Parthenogenesis”
“Why?” Leo had pried humouring his brother's boring facts at the time. “Also what is that?”
Little did he know he was about to find out a little too personally exactly what that is.
...
..
.“Well aren't you cute” He giggles as it all settles in, a sharp prickle in his throat as he took the time to run his thumb against the side of the shell before speaking. “I will call you green.” He declared setting his child to rest among the stars of his eyes, his anchor, his moon.
The egg doesn't respond, its an egg of course, but Leo blinks memorized at it all the same.

So, Mikey is faced with two negatives and one positive.
Positively, he's powerful enough to open portals to worlds he didn't even know existed.
Negatively, he owes Donnie his entire allowance for a year. And, more importantly, Mikey is stranded in a different dimension with no clear way home.
Why can't he have a normal day for once?

After a mishap in Witch town surrounding Donnie's connection to it, Leo pays the price and is cursed.

Turns out he was hit with a "life draining curse". The spell is meant to slowly drain the life out of its victims until their body is unable to support itself any longer.

Summary
(Post ROTTMNT movie. 7-8 months)
Perfection. A planet in the Atour Galaxy, in a different universe, right next to the universe we know. Home to the Shanimalshifters, humanoid creatures with animal-like features, originating from an offspring of mutants and lizards. These beings are hatched from eggs of various colors, with an original form. At the age of ten, they are given a more ‘permanent’ and ‘pleasing’ form, to which they use as their ‘base’ for the duration of their lives.
Perfection, despite its name, is what some Shanimalshifters call a cruel and unforgiving world. The government is corrupted, and the officials are not entirely sane.
So what happens when a goofy, rebellious young teen decides to defy the laws of her home planet, and move to a new one, completely alone?
But what if Venus isn’t what she seems? We all know and hate the Krang. Notorious creatures that Plague every Turtle Universe. What are they up to and what does Venus have to do with it?..
Follow Venus, a dragon ShanimalShifter, as she runs away from her home, becomes friends with an unlikely bunch of mutant turtles, uncovers dark secrets, and finds out what the word ‘family’ really means

Summary
Donnie blinked at his counterpart.
He looked rather plain to be a Donatello. Then again it was another universe, anything was possible. Donnie couldn't fault the turtle for his lack of..Well everything.
Or; Donnie and Leo go to the 2012, and the 2012 have to deal with two superpowered, probably insane versions of Leo and Donnie.
Filled with plenty of murder, laughs, more murder, disturbing imagery and Donnie/Leo awesomeness and alternate turtle gawking. Enjoy.

Summary
Small was a simple little turtle, with simple little needs. All he ever wanted was to never be separated from his beloved brothers. But one day, his entire life changed. He was separated from his family. He was lost. One second he could see them, the next they were gone.
Small might be his name, but he was not going to let that stop him. He belonged with his brothers. There were never meant to be three, always four.
If only he could find them!
...
Context: In which Leonardo never got mutated with his brothers. But it's not angst. I promise. Leo's could be a funky little turtle without mutagen.

Summary
A year after the Kraang invasion, Leo still struggles with his failures and the weight of leadership. Determined to grow stronger, he makes the painful decision to leave for Japan, training to become the leader his family deserves. But after a year, a deep unease stirs within him through his ninpo. He returns home—only to find the lair in ruins, his family gone, and the Foot Clan's insignia flying over what was once their home. Believing them dead, Leo wages a ruthless one-man war against the Foot, hunting them relentlessly.
But his family is alive—held captive by Shen, the new, ruthless leader of the Foot. A cunning and powerful mystic, Shen seeks to steal the Hamato Clan’s ninpo, intending to ascend beyond mortality and reshape the world in her image. With the Foot under her control and power within reach, she will stop at nothing to claim what she believes is hers.
Unaware of the full extent of her plans, Leo has one goal: to destroy the Foot and make their leader pay.
