Summary
“I’ve got you,” Raphael said evenly. He sounded more confident than he thought he would. “I have you two. You can be upset–”
And the words started tumbling out, but they felt right on his lips.
“–I can be strong enough for all of us until you’re better.”
--
Or, three brothers are left to raise themselves after their father is kidnapped while Leo was sent away to train.
And then Leo comes home to an unfamiliar environment, much to the turmoil of everyone.

Summary
( Based on the the 2014/16 movies with aspects of the 2007 TMNT movie and 2000 series villains)
Raphael has been having weird dreams lately, but with no clue why since it always features his and his brothers' childhood imaginary friend. The same red eyes always look back at him with an unknown message, and his brothers tell him he needs to forget it and move on.
Meanwhile, since the brothers have been reduced to hiding once more with little allowance on the surface, Raph has taken the name Night Watcher and been sneaking above ground to fight crime on his own. However, a new group of vigilantes has taken root in New York that often steals his targets, identifiable only by the black tattoos on their wrists. This added to their increased activity at night when Raph is on the prowl, has earned them the name Moonlight vigilantes. No one knows how many there are, but all of the turtles are ready to find out. They come face to face with the group by tracking criminals being targeted, and Raphael is surprised to see a familiar face.
This imaginary friend wasn't just a dream and is dangerous, more dangerous than the turtles could imagine. And it's not fair when your imaginary friend is your potential executioner.

Summary
Raphael felt a little conflicted taking his mask off, it was who he was, it always has been who he was. But they didn't have to fight anymore so.. what does it define? The past ninja he used to be? What if he wants to fight again. What if the urge to fight hits him like a brick and he gets in trouble? Not like he could care the hell less about getting in trouble, but still. It's his first time in a real live school, a high school at that, and in movies.. high schools are ruthless.

Summary
"They say the dawn symbolizes a new beginning. With the sunrise comes hope, joy, light...everything that makes life worthwhile."
For thirteen-year-old Scarlet, the sunrise means she's lived to see another day. An orphan on the run, she's taught herself to get by on the cruel streets of New York City, stealing and sleeping wherever she can to endure. Any hope she once had for herself has faded, replaced by nothing but a drive for survival. She's trapped in the never-ending maze that is her life, and she knows there's no way out...but deep down in her young heart, she longs for something to change.
For a certain red-masked turtle, the blazing red of the sunrise reflect his anger. Misunderstood by his family, he feels there's no one in the world that truly understands him, who sees him for the turtle he is behind his mask of fury. Deep down, he doesn't want to be angry-but he doesn't know how to stop. All he can do is pray for a fresh start as he leaves everything behind, that there's enough light within his soul to expel the darkness that threatens to destroy him.
When the two cross paths, perhaps a new light will shine on them both.
"Thank you for being my sunrise."

Summary
Casey Jones Jr. is a good soldier. He could follow out his orders with high levels of creativity and success. In the later years of the war, he could even dish them out almost as well thought out as his Sensei. His master had trained him well.
He couldn’t help but feel that he’d failed somehow. That he’d made a mistake in choosing to follow his last order to a T. Never mind the fact that he’d barely had time for his brain to catch up to what was happening before he was literally thrown through a time gate. The very same one that had killed his Uncle. The very same one he couldn’t get out of in time to save the man he’d always silently called his father.
He’d found himself in the past, having successfully completed his last orders. Surrounded by versions of his family he can only barely recognize. So, he did what he always did in stressful situations: grin and bear it. If it worked for Master Leonardo, it’ll work for him, right?
~~~
Casey Jones Jr. struggles to deal with the aftermath of his Masters’ decision. Struggling to deal with post war trauma and how to live in a time of peace. At least he has his family with him, even if he doesn’t quite see these new versions as his quite yet.
