    Summary

    It’s winter in Hawkins, and Mike and Will aren’t speaking anymore. Living in Mike’s house, Will tries to be invisible, spending most of his time in the basement.

    Then the power goes out — and if there’s one thing he dreads more than facing Mike, it’s the cold.

    or

    Seven nights in which Mike and Will have to sleep in the same bed, even though they’re barely friends anymore.

    Summary

    Pulling his legs to his chest, Tim slammed his fist onto the keyboard angrily, stifling a sob as tears flooded his eyes. Why wasn’t this working? Why was nothing working today? Tim gasped for air as he hugged his legs, trying earnestly not to break down and cry. He wasn’t a kid, for fuck’s sake. He was a Drake at that. Drakes didn’t cry.

    “Baby Bird?”

    In his emotional turmoil, Tim had somehow not heard Jason ride into the Cave on his bike. Useless. Why couldn’t he do better? He was supposed to be Robin!

    For a second, he tried to tell Jason to go away. To leave him alone just like everybody else had in his life. Instead of that, a loud sob escaped his treacherous mouth. Not even his mouth liked him…

     

    OR: Tim needs a hug and Jason gives him one

    Summary

    A sudden, sharp burst of agony shot through his body as something slammed into his head. The world spun under his feet, a sharp ring accompanying it. Mikey staggered, disorientated, his mind too busy trying to process what happened.

    He didn’t even notice when he was being dragged towards the edge of the boat.

    He didn’t hear his brothers screaming his name, desperately trying to get to him through a sudden swarm of soldiers.

    He never realized until he was plummeting towards violent crashing waves, helpless in the hands of his fate.

    Summary

    (And the 1 time he let himself be the baby)

    "No matter how wobbly and spazzy Mikey's brain felt all the time-- like carbonated soda, poppy and bubbly and almost over-sweet-- he should be able to do this. Just this one thing."

    Mikey has spent his whole life relying on his brothers. Sometimes, he wonders if he can even survive without them.

    Summary

    Wincing, Leo’s gaze shifts over to his youngest brother who’s now curled up on the floor with Raph’s head in his lap and their father is at their side. He meets Splinter’s eyes and looks down at the sight of his sword in his tiny hand. He wants to laugh, how fitting. He sends Splinter a single nod and braces himself for the inevitable — but then; he hears Shredder snarling above him — and his world goes straight to hell.

    The Shredder presses his foot down harder onto Leo’s shell, his sharp talons scratching the surface, and then there’s a sickening sound that echoes.

    CRRAACCK.

     

    --

    the one where Leo gets his shell cracked by the Shredder.
