    Summary

    ‘Go to Japan’, they said, ‘it’ll be a healing experience’, they said. Leo can’t quite remember whose idea it had been for this retreat, something about healing their minds and bodies after the invasion.
    How did that end with him almost committing vehicular manslaughter, making an unlikely friend at sword point, and undermining an underground yokai authority?
    Man, he just wanted to have one week where he didn't have to go through character development.

    Summary

    Karai came to awareness with a looming sense of dread. She felt soft carpet underneath her knees. Her nose twitched as she took in the scents of incense and tea. Soft piano music drifted in from another room.

    Every sense told her that she was in someone’s home.

    Karai hadn’t felt the peace of a home in over five hundred years.

    In the best case scenario, this was a new dirty trick of Shredder’s. The worst…

    “Hamato Karai? Can you hear me?”

    She looked up in horror into the eyes of an old man, leaning heavily on a bo staff that towered so high above him, it couldn’t have been made for his use.

     

    “What have you done?”

    -----

    What if Karai was brought back before the return of the shredder? What if Splinter never had to raise four children all on his own? What if the turtles had proper training from the start?

    What if it didn't change anything? What if it changed everything?

    Anatawa Hitorijanai is more than just a phrase.

    Edit 6/26/24: this fic and all of my rise fics are on hiatus for the forseeable future. I plan to finish it some day but my hyperfixation died :/

    Summary

    Raising children is hard. Raising four children as a single parent is even harder. Especially if, also, you're a rat, and also all your children are mutants, and you live in the sewer, and you have no idea what you're doing. When Hamato Yoshi is presented with the chance to return to the surface with his sons and give them a 'normal' life as humans, he takes it.

    He didn't think that they would forget about that whole turtle thing. But it seems kind of too late to tell them now. Surely they won't find out any other way, right?...

    Summary

    Leon’s pretty sure the afterlife isn’t supposed to hurt this much.

    In the midst of making peace with his death at the hands of the Krang, Master Leonardo is thrown over two decades into the past, courtesy of his little brother.

    Now faced with the challenges of reconnecting with a family he’d thought lost to him forever, the constant reminders of his past failures, and the antics of his sixteen year old self, Leon swiftly concludes he’s too old for this, and has to wonder if it’d been better had he not returned at all.

    Summary

    Jason Grace is dead. He expected to wake up in Elysium, but instead he finds himself before a towering hotel in a mythology he had no place in and a not quite familiar face.

    Leonardo Hamato is dead. He doesn’t know what he expected after sacrificing himself to seal away the Krang, exactly, but it sure as hell wasn’t this.
