    Summary

    Mikey hates the way his brothers look at him like he's some broken and traumatized thing, but the longer he goes with food tasting like ash in his mouth, the more he's afraid they're right. Deep down, he's afraid that Dimension X made him into something worse - something rabid.

    The least he can do is follow Donnie's advice and let Leo and Raph work out their frustrations like they always do.

    OR

    (Takes place before "guilty (reaching across the sea)")
    Mikey struggles to eat, Leo and Raph struggle to get along, and Donnie struggles to sleep. It all adds up.

    Summary

    Mikey wasn't in Dimension X for only a few minutes or even a month. He was there for about a year - maybe more - captured and tortured by the Kraang until he found a way out. He hid and scavenged until his brothers finally came through the portal.

    Not that he's ever going to tell them that.

    Too bad a new mutant doesn't share that same opinion.

    OR

    Mikey is forced to relive his worst memory and his brothers learn he's been through hell and back.

    Summary

    Mikey's been surviving in Dimension X. He has his worms, his crystals, and the giant crack in his plastron that never healed right. He's not exactly thriving, but he's alive. That's something. After about a year of fighting against the Kraang and escaping from the torture hell hole that is a Kraang prison, he finds his brothers.

    OR

    Mikey has been in Dimension X for longer than a few hours. Much longer.

    (Takes place before "memories feel like weapons," but can be read as a stand alone fic).

    Summary

    "Magic is alive, you fool, and it doesn’t react well to being abused or contained. With enough pressure, bones snap, organs rupture, and seidr breaks. And now it’s twisted and wrong, turning on itself and its host like a cancer, and nothing you or I can do will fix it.” In which things go a little differently after Loki and his minions leave the SHIELD facility with the Tesseract.

    ("Graphic Depictions of Violence" is marked even though there really isn't a lot of violence, per se, but there is some body horror; I think it's fairly mild, although as always YMMV. There's also a brief scene of what's essentially mind rape.)
