    Summary

    But trauma breeds secrets, bad habits, and fears that can all bubble up to the surface when a new threat is revealed.

    Fighting is tiring, but so is jumping at every shadow. Can the boy survive another storm sweeping through their lives, or will they be washed away for good.

    The sequel of Let's Play a Game!

    Or: Michelangelo's brothers deal with their grief and trauma in different ways after the loss of Splinter finally settles in, eventually, they all leave in one way or another-- only he remains. It doesn't help that something is lurking in New York.

    Summary

    Raph and Leo have many differences, but none so great as their ideals of heroism and leadership. After showing his potential by outsmarting Big Mama and trapping Shredder in the prison dimension, Splinter decides to make Leo the leader of their team a bit earlier than intended.

    This has consequences.

    Now with the two oldest at each other's throats, Mikey is left trying to cope with a dysfunctional family, and Donnie does his best to keep their youngest from falling apart completely.

    But what starts as a simple family feud devolves into something insidious. A chance meeting with a new villain suddenly thrusts Mikey and Donnie into an underground world of violence, one where they may not survive if their brothers can’t reconcile their differences and come together as the team they were always meant to be.

    -*-*-*-*-

    TLDR; Splinter decides to make Leo the leader of the team after the first defeat of Shredder. This has consequences. Set in the aftermath of Many Unhappy Returns.

    Summary

    What was it people said? There’s beauty in tragedy?

    Mikey had never really got it. He liked happy endings. He liked stories to end pretty, with a bow on top and a funny end credits blooper reel. He liked bright colors and the chaos of happiness, of living wild and unafraid. He’d always thought tragedy was a cop-out for people who were too scared to dream big, too scared to dig in and really love life.

    But Mikey could kind of see it now, if he squinted just right. Could kind of get it. There really was something beautiful about it all. The rubble and the smudges of smoke across the sky, like smears of charcoal. The fires burning like neon orange highlighter in a world gone gray. The way a last ditch effort could feel like a dance, set to the tripping rhythm of a fear fast heartbeat.

    It was all raw expression, raw emotion. It felt like a soul stripped bare and screaming in rage-denial-determination. Burning as hot as it possibly could so, even if it burned out, it would leave a mark behind.

    Yeah, he thought. He got it now.

    When you knew you’d never see it again, even a world burning to the ground could be beautiful.

    Summary

    Months have passed since the invasion. They'd sent the Krang packing and got Leo back, so a trip to April's family farmhouse seems like the perfect way to rest and recuperate while they fix it up.

    At least, it was.

    But now Mikey feels like he's going crazy, because there's something in the woods. Something ancient. And it promises a way to never let anything bad happen to his brothers again.
