Summary
If you had told Leo a month ago literally any of this was going to happen, he wouldn’t have believed you. More than that, really- if you had tried to tell him anything about the Invasion before it actually went down, the slider would’ve laughed in your face. If you had told Leo- that cocky, young, deathly irresponsible Leo- that his brothers would die and it would be all his fault, that Leo would’ve just laughed it off with a terrible joke and a lazy grin.
But things are a lot less funny when the government has your family at gunpoint.

Part three of my Quarantine AU, which you might want to read for context. The Kraang sink its claws deeper into Raph's psyche. Meanwhile, Leo tries his best to be a leader.Series

Summary
“D’you…?” The snapper cut himself off. He probably shouldn’t be asking that. But as soon as he tried to stop himself, the words came tumbling out regardless; like an avalanche from his mouth, just as heavy and just as deadly. Curse this concussion. Curse the Hamato line. Curse his stupid, heroic fate. “D’you hate me? For hurting you? For almost killing you? In more than one way- I got you stuck in the Prison Dimension.”
A long, LONG silence unfolded between them. Stretching out and out into eternity. When Leo went to speak again, his voice was unsteady; caught off-guard. Wet with confusion and heartbreak. Asking,
“Raph… Where is this coming from? What the hell are you talking about?”Raphael knows what he's good for. He also knows it's gonna kill him eventually- the only question is when and how. His brothers really don't seem to like that. He can't imagine why.

Summary
There’s another question. THE question, really, what the other one was just a setup for: some all-important query he just can’t seem to ask. What held the weight of the world, but just couldn’t seem to fall out of his mouth. The snapper presses his eyes shut. Forces them open, and for some reason, like it seems wont to do recently, there comes a burning sting. He ignores it. He ignores it all.
“When I died,” Raphael asks. “Did anyone… Did…” His voice is weak and stuttering and as worthless as he is. “Did anybody care?”-
Raphael has several questions to ask several people, but he just can't seem to get an answer he likes.

Summary
Big Mama's son is a polite young gentleman.
Big Mama's son is a brutal enforcer.
Big Mama's son doesn't ever wonder about the family he used to know.
One of these statements is a lie.(In a world where Splinter is a little more open about the existence of the Hidden City, things go horribly wrong. The rise and fall of Caravaggio Jitsu. The death and rebirth of Raphael Hamato. My take on a seperated au.)

Summary
Raphael dies before his twenty-sixth birthday, just a little bit shy of Casey Junior's first. Not if Donnie has anything to say about it.
(Sub-heading: it's fascinating what can be accomplished with robots, a shovel, and a plan.)This is actually somewhat of a sequel to my other Bad Future fic, better luck next time, but you don't have to read that to understand this.

Summary
Stanford and Stanley Pines, freshly sixteen, are flung forward into 1983 after fighting over a half-broken time tape that neither of them wanted to be fighting over. Their relationship, usually so concrete, had begun to strain - and the argument over the time machine gets out of hand. The future is not what either of them expects to find.
Stanford, stranded in New Mexico and utterly alone, finds himself out of his depth when he comes across a much older version of his brother who is homeless and struggling to make ends meet.
Stanley, stranded in Oregon and burned by the broken time tape, has his worst fears confirmed when he finds an older version of his brother who is driven to the brink by paranoia and forces unknown.
----
There are mentions of sex at various points, but no explicit descriptions. There is, however, lots of violence. This is a story about trauma & a bond between brothers, explored in a timestuck format.

Summary
When Raph disappears after a mission gone wrong and a hurtful argument, the rest of the Hamato family is left scrambling to pick up the pieces. A shattered panic button. A ripped-out tracker. No signs of struggle - only blood and silence. As Donnie’s fury boils over and Leo crumbles under the weight of his own guilt, the family begins to unravel in the face of a threat they didn’t see coming. Raph is out there, hurt or worse, and time is slipping away. This isn't just a rescue mission. It's a reckoning.

Characters from previous iterations like Bishop, Hun, and Leatherhead have been brought into this story.Series

Summary
The apocalypse happening in his lifetime was not something Stanley had ever expected. And really, as if his life didn’t already suck enough. Now the world had a new triangular dictator ruling over it, and in the chaos society had become, Stan only had three goals:
- Survive.
- Try to find Ma and Shermie.
- Avoid his now evil twin brother who had apparently been the one to enable the whole weirdmageddon thing to begin with.
Number three was turning out to be the most difficult. Having become Bill’s right-hand man, Ford had gone and broadcast Stan’s name and face world-wide, right alongside a hefty reward for Stan’s successful capture. The fact that he was wanted alive wasn’t reassuring. Knowing Ford’s ability to hold a grudge, Stan figured it couldn’t mean anything good for him.
And he had a sinking feeling he was going to find out sooner than he’d like.
