A Crack in the Shell by Bamgel_bagel
Fandoms: Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Cartoon 2018)
02 Sep 2022
Tags
Summary
Leo removed his belt and the strap that held his swords, and after some maneuvering, he was finally able to see his shell clearly enough.
A thin crack about the length of his foot ran across the upper middle part of his shell, smaller cracks dotting the length, making it seem sort of like those weird-looking ladders on those metal telephone poles.
Bad scrapes also dotted the surface, making one question bubble to the front of his slowly static filling mind.
How did no one notice this?
---------
Or, I wrote this fic because there is no way Leo's shell isn't cracked by the end in some way. He was pummeled so much he had to at least have some shell damage.
Or x2, Kind of 3 times Leo hid the crack in his shell from his family, and 1 time they found out.

Summary
Something was wrong. Really, really wrong.
Leo and Mikey opened the portal, the swirling blue and orange doing little to comfort them.
“I don’t think this is home.” Mikey noted. Leo’s face hardened. “Maybe we shouldn’t go in—“
But before Leo could get another word out, a large, violent vibration sent them both tumbling in.
—Or—
Leo and Mikey accidentally portal themselves into the 2012 universe, where they’re met with four older, weirder looking versions of themselves, Raph, and Donnie. Will they find a way home? Because these older versions seem to be way too concerned about how they live to let them leave.
Sure, Mikey’s arms almost ripped apart. Sure, Leo participated in a full on suicide mission.
That’s not BAD, right?

How does it feel to be so very alone and so very forgotten?
Why do you enjoy tormenting me?
I will answer your question if you first answer mine.
Leave me alone.
Answer the question, Leo.
No. Leave me alone. Allow me a shred of peace for once.
Answer. The. Question.
I don’t want to.
You don’t have a choice.
I never have a choice.
Answer me.
I won’t lose control of my own mind!

Good.

Can a hero be turned into a monster?
And does a murderer deserve forgiveness?

Summary
Leo had just finished balancing the last of the chemical formulas they were working with when his lab partner, Sean, had slid a note over their shared station. He hadn’t even looked up when he did it- too busy with his task of setting up the flasks and pipettes so they could move on to the actual mixing of chemicals.
He faltered in the last number, eyeing the piece of paper. His first real class note! This was so totally awesome. He’s careful as he unfolded each crease.
'Got plans tonite?'
-------
Leo gets invited to a midnight hangout, which goes horribly wrong. How can he ever face anyone again? What does he do when the group continues to contact him afterwards, armed with threats and blackmail? He can't let anyone find out about what happened to him. Not even his brothers... especially not his brothers.-

Summary
Time ticks by.
Minutes turn into days, weeks bleed into months.
Seasons come and go like the ebbing and flowing tide, bringing with them change as the years pass by.
Wounds heal, scars fade, along with memories.
Some disappear and some stay with a person for life, changing them like the shifting seasons, bringing out the best in some...
but the worst in others.
~~~
Years after the krang invasion Leo is attacked and sexually assualted by a genius he has known for a long time, who learned how to not only grow krang tendrils in her lab but also how to take control of them to make them do whatever she wants. His morally ambiguous twin brother seeks revenge - and what better way than to attack a person's psyche?
Non-con is implied, this au deals mostly with the aftermath.
