    Summary

    Leo waited. His leg was growing painfully numb under the ice. He wanted to rip the pack off and heave it across the room where it could shatter on the floor. Instead, he forced himself to stay quiet as he watched everyone disperse on their assignments, feeling his heartbeat inexplicably rise in his chest until he finally couldn’t stand it anymore.

    “And me?” Leo looked to Splinter. “I know portaling is kinda off the table right now, but, you know, plans are still kinda my thing. Just give me a minute—an hour max—and I know I can come up with a place for us to stay...” Leo’s voice faded as Splinter placed a warm pink hand on top of his own, making it lay still.

    “Do not worry, my baby blue.” He said, giving the back of his hand a pat, a soft smile reaching his furry face. “I know exactly where we will go.”

    ----------

    Leo knew losing an arm would be a hard change. He just didn’t know exactly how many changes he'd have to deal with. Turns out that narrowly avoiding the Krang apocalypse doesn't mean everything goes back to normal.

    (Or my traumatized turtle boys spend some time recovering in the countryside because the author was listening to Noah Kahan’s Stick Season album A LOT)

    Summary

    "What’s up, man?" Mikey asked—more for the principle of the thing than a genuine question as he scanned his brother's form. He may be the youngest, but he wasn't an idiot. Leo wouldn't show up at his room in the middle of the night for no reason, especially when double checking everyone was safe and sound seemed to be a family tradition of sorts; nevermind that Mikey had never caught him doing it before, it was still the most obvious conclusion. Without Leo’s blue mask to cover it, the heavy bags hanging under his eyes were laughably easy to spot, a clear indicator that once again, he still slept nowhere near as much as he acted like he did.

    It took everything to not call him out on it—blurting it out would do no good.

    "Oh, uh, you– y'know," Leo said with a strained smile, voice faltering and cracking. "Stuff."

    Leo has a nightmare. Mikey helps.

    Summary

    “Do you just not care?” Donnie eventually asked.

    “What?” Leo replied, voice raspy and startled.

    “Sorry, let me be more specific: do you care if you die?”

     

    or:

     

    Donnie and Leo have a conversation about Leo’s self sacrificing stunt at the end of the movie.

    Summary

    It had been two years since Hamato Donnatello died in a tragic accident. The Resistance was facing great difficulties but, what was better than pretending everything was okay? No matter how hard Harper tried to believe better days were to come, they couldn't lie to themselves, they missed him. But as hope was slowly fading away, an unsuspected event reopened the wounds, awoke old ghosts and forced Harper to leave for a journey to bring back what they thought was lost long ago...
