Summary
A large grin splits across Leo’s beak. He huffs out a relieved breath and goes to sit up. But in doing so he realizes his arm has a weird drag to it. Like it’s stuck somehow. He furrows his brow-ridges and looks at his right hand.
It’s in a tree.
What.

Summary
Leo holds up his hand to show the gem to his brothers, but in doing so his thumb presses down in the middle of the gem. A bright flash blinds him as he stumbles back and drops it. He rapidly blinks the spots out of his eyes.
“Sheesh, that’s even worse than the glare on Donnie's giant forehead.”
But instead of hearing the groans, disappointed sighs or even the rare giggle at one of Leo’s jokes, there’s nothing.
They’re frozen.
---
Leo and his brothers get back from a mission with mysterious gems and Leo somehow pauses time. His brothers are like statues and he has to somehow find a way to unfreeze everything, but he may not be as alone as he thinks he is.

Summary
Tensing his muscles Leo settles into a familiar fighting stance. He holds the key close to his plastron, he's gripping it so hard if it were anything else it probably would have been crushed by now. He's never going to let them get it, he'll find a way to keep fighting even after he takes his last breath. He's not going to let them end the world. He'll keep his family safe, it doesn't matter what he has to take from himself to do it.
He sees the closest Foot soldier motion something to the others. Leo's one moment away from lunging when the sea of Foot soldiers bow. One by one they kneel and outstretch their hands towards him, voices chanting in sync.
"All hail the Krang!"
What..?
---
The Foot have recovered from the invasion and have set out to once again free their masters, instead they free someone else.

Summary
Leo and Donnie stumble across an old, glowing copy of The Arabian Nights in Draxum's library, and because they can't have one uneventful weekend, they're pulled into a world of magic rings and vengeful genies. With the book rapidly fading, it's a race against time to beat the Big Bad and save the world before they fade with it.
Just another crazy adventure. Right?

Summary
"Hi Dad." Leo said, keeping the squirming dog in his arms as she tried to escape.
Splinter cracked open the door and said, "Ah, hello Blue. There you are."
Banana popped out of his grasp and excitedly bounced over to greet him.
"Why, Chocolate Covered Bananas, has my son held you hostage?" Splinter teased, giving her a pet.
"If not meant for snuggles, why snuggle shaped?" Leo drawled, but his heart was beating too quick. "Hey, do you know where Donnie is?"
"He's not here?" Splinter asked, honestly confused.

Summary
Donnie collided with Leo in a tangle of limbs. There was an instinctive cling in return from his twin, before the realization sunk in.
"No." Leo breathed in his ear, immediately shattered. "No, no, no, no, no!”
Every muscle in Donnie's body was shaking like an earthquake from the amount of effort he'd just expended. The explosion caught up to them, sending the twins spiralling away into space and debris.
For one singular moment, Donnie allowed himself a burst of victory. His heart was still thudding a thousand miles an hour in his chest, having been absolutely terrified he wasn't going to make it in time. But he did. And he held onto Leo, his prize.
Then they hit the ground, the sudden tumble bursting them apart. Donnie felt the world spin, rapid and disorientating, before he slammed into something rock and cracking under his impact.

Summary
Raph, Mikey, and Donnie grew up just the three of them. Arguing, training, and discovering the hidden city and everything it entailed. They didn't know anything is missing. Not until they stumble upon a turtle mutant during a mission, bruised and battered and very much an animal. After years as a test subject Leo barely has any humanity left. It will take a long, long time to rehabilitate him, but for family they would do anything.
