    Summary

    "If y’all have never had chocolate before… do you know if you guys… can have chocolate?” April questions. “Like, will it kill you?”
    “Why would it kill us?” Raph says confusedly.
    “I mean, chocolate’s poisonous to some animals, and you guys have…” She gestures generally to the group. “...this whole situation going on.”
    “What, the turtle thing? Uh.” Raph rubs at his temple thoughtfully. “Uh, you know what, I actually don’t know."

    (The boys and April set out to answer the age-old question: If, theoretically, you're a mutant turtle who's at least part human, is it safe to eat chocolate?)

    Summary

    “Mikey?”
    Michelangelo doesn’t answer, standing alone in the shadows. Leonardo moves to place a hand on his shoulder but pulls his hand back when the youngest screams in utter terror, his eyes wild and staring at the space around them. It’s a sound that haunts them all to their core, ringing over and over and Mikey keeps screaming and sobbing, begging for something they can’t understand. The fungi quickly latches onto his face, mushrooms digging into his eyes, across his shell -
    “Mikey!” Raph yells but Mikey doesn’t hear them, lost in his own nightmare and unable to defend himself as the mushrooms consume his face completely. Instead, they can only watch helplessly as Michelangelo gets dragged into the darkness.

    ~

    A mysterious infestation of fungi in the sewer system of their old home causes the turtles to each become trapped in the own never-ending nightmares. Imprisoned in the dark caverns and the last one standing, Leo must battle his own fears if he stands a chance of saving his brothers before they are all consumed by their own terror.

    ~

    TLDR: remember that 2012 episode with the fungus? I rewrote that for 2003, but much darker.

    Directly after “My Brother the Bad Guy” the implications of their battle against Shredder hit Michelangelo especially hard.

    Luckily, the way Shredder treats his own brother does not match how Michelangelo’s brothers treat him.

    Summary

    The dreams always start out the same. He’s not in the other dimension, not yet — he’s on the ship with his brothers. He’s watching Donnie take a hit, and calculating in split seconds the likelihood that any of them will get out of this at all with dread so violent in his chest it feels like the world is cracking in half in front of him. He knows— he knows, he knows. There’s only ever one choice to make, and he makes it.

    Then, sometimes, the earpiece crackles to life. It’s his voice, it’s the Krangs, it’s Draxum’s and Shredder’s and everyone’s tangled together. He’s saying goodbye, but they aren’t through the portal yet— he’s miscalculated the odds and there’s no one on the other side of the line.

    He’s alone even before he’s actually alone, there’s no one to even say goodbye to.

    One night he wakes up, and he doesn’t remember how they got him back in the first place.

    OR: Leo’s maybe not as alright as he would like to believe. It’s just that he’s been misremembering a lot of things, small sections of his brain just smoothed over somehow, missing all of the regular information.

    It also just keeps happening.
