    Summary

    “You feeling okay?”

    No, he’s not. His thoughts have never been so hard to hear and his fingers have begun this annoying twitching that just won’t go away. Bright lights are grading on his eyes and loud voices are doing even worse to his ears. But, yes, Leo, everything’s perfect

    (Donnie does not have the greatest sleep schedule. Written for the prompt "I haven’t slept in days, but who’s counting?")

    Summary

    “Raphael,” she said gently. “I know it’s difficult for you to use the past tense-”

     

    “It’s not difficult, it’s just wrong,” Raph growled. He couldn’t look at her. This was the thing. The thing that made everyone look at him with pity. Like he was defective or broken. Like he was some stupid idiot who couldn’t get with the program.

     

    But it was everyone else who was wrong. Raph was the only one who was living in reality.

     

    “Leo. Isn’t. Dead.”
    _________________

    It's been two years since Leo's disappearance. The city has erected a monument in Bryant Park to honor and mourn New York's bravest young hero.

    While Leo's statue sits in the park, Raph sits in therapy. Everyone believes Raph is too traumatized, too wounded to process the loss of his brother.

    But there's something Raph can't explain, something only he can feel, something everybody wants him to ignore. It whispers softly somewhere in the deepest corners of his mind: he's still here.

    Raph listens.

    Summary

    Leonardo’s brothers are dead.

    It’s a given fact, a short sentence with ineffable perception.

    But he knew it from the moment he saw their eyes, lolling, rolling, fading, embers of life flickering as he held their hands, begging them to keep breathing minutes after the labored fall of their chests stopped.

     

    Or: where it all went wrong for Leonardo, and how he dealt with it (the saga)
