Summary
It’s been common knowledge, ever since they were tots, that Donnie was the best swimmer.
The discovery had made a five year old Leo pout for a while, but it was true. There was no shell to get in the way of him diving underwater, darting like a swift arrow under the currents.
And, like it was common knowledge that Donnie was the strongest swimmer, it was made aware very early on that Mikey was the weakest.
His brothers took to water easily. They swam as they were born to do, effortless even at such a young age. Mikey, seeing his brothers having fun, had tried to do the same with a giggle and a splash.
It didn’t end well.~
After days of heavy rain, the lair floods with Donnie and Mikey still inside. Born a soft shell, Donnie can easily survive such conditions. Mikey, on the other hand, cannot.
TLDR: the lair floods with Mikey and Donnie still inside, and Donnie is the only one that can swim.

Michelangelo isn’t Stupid by DysfunctionalRequest

Summary
If you were to ask Donatello how he would describe his youngest brother, he would answer with “creative.” He would say very quickly after that he most certainly was not as stupid as the narrow-minded assumed he would be. He will happily argue for hours in his brother’s defence, but he realises that it doesn’t matter, not when Michelangelo believes it himself.
It’s frustrating, and it hurts, and ridiculously ironic, because before Mikey had first stepped into his lab, he had thought the same degrading thoughts about himself.
~
Basically, Donatello and Michelangelo bonding, because they are my favourite characters. Michelangelo had ADHD and Donatello is autistic. Also some Mikey angst because why not.Series

Summary
“Fine. Huff,” Donnie says, in the better of efficiency this time, because this battle shell was designed with several convenient pockets for his multitudes. “We’re here because we- as in I- am going to find Michelangelo a kitten. For his birthday. Not a random, aimless kitten, like some kind of dumb-dumb. A kitten with purpose. A kitten with a cause. You get it.”

Summary
“Yeah, ‘cause of all that stealing they do,” Mikey tells him, unrepentant. “With their boat and swords and cannons and like, barrels of rum and stuff. Think that one guy even had a pigeon he painted green, and like- c’mon dude! If those aren’t pirates then what are?”
“You make a good point,” Donnie snorts, because he does. “But either way aesthetics don’t make for competence, and anything these guys have stolen has been through dumb luck alone- I wouldn’t be surprised if it took them a week to realize we were even here!”
And of course, that’s when it all goes to shell in a handbasket.

Summary
“Yo, dudes,” Mikey says one day. “Not for nothing or whatever, but do you guys ever wish you were like… dudettes?”
