Summary
[They haven’t done anything wrong, and Mr. Beck is a good man; those are what Eli has been repeating in his head for the past 10 minutes, and what keep him from squirming and making an active attempt to flee the house. At the side next to him at the square table, Aesop is trying – and failing – to disappear into his shirt. He throws Eli a fleeting look, nervous and ten-shades uncomfortable and pleading and I told you we shouldn’t have snuck into his backyard just to see the butterflies, before his gaze scurries back to the host’s enormous back, turned toward them.]
A series of one-shots set in the countryside, where everyone is relatively happy and no one killed anyone or stole someone else's wife or dying because of a disapproving in-law.

Summary
It had been two months since that first horrific seizure, since Leo had emerged on the other side, shaky and exhausted, but blessedly alive. They had all hoped it was a one-time event, prayed for Lady Luck to shine down on them just this once.
But the universe wasn't that kind.
Or: three times Leo fell alone + one time his family caught him.

Summary
"What did you do to Leo?" Donnie accused. His voice came out precise and absolutely vicious.
Draxum flinched but held his gaze, a show of respect, scientist to scientist, that Donnie wanted to throw back in his face. "Even with a combination of mystics and science, one cannot truly program a living mind. We can shape tendencies through genetics, lean a brain toward certain temperaments and abilities, but we cannot issue commands." He paused, choosing his next words carefully. "What we can do is lay the groundwork and let the mind complete the pattern on its own."
The connections were forming in Donnie's head before Draxum even finished. Leo's behavior over the years. Beliefs Donnie had never been able to parse. A pattern he hadn't let himself look at directly until now.
Oh god. Please don't let him mean—
Draxum's voice dropped to something just above a whisper. "I needed to ensure the sacrifice would be made. So I introduced what I might call passive suicidality. In retrospect, it was disturbingly simple. Program the baseline knowledge that he was meant to die. Pair it with an instinct toward loyalty, and a drive to win above all else." He paused. "The mind does the rest."

Summary
Donatello is almost eight before they finally find a pair of glasses with his correct prescription. Before that, the severely farsighted turtle just has to make do. His brothers do what they can to help out, even if it means reading all his boring stereo instructions to him for the millionth time.

Summary
If Mikey appeared in Donnie’s field of vision throughout the day, no doubt looking for attention, Donnie would look at him briefly, just to see if he was hurt, and would then turn his head to sink his teeth into Mikey’s wrist where it was draped over the back of his chair. He’d offer his own wrist for biting, and then Mikey would be on his way, satisfied, the message having gotten across—and, for Donnie personally, some itch in his mind having been scratched, his muscles sitting a little looser over his bones.
/////
Or: Biting is a common love language for neurodivergent people. That’s it, that’s the fic.
