Summary
"Leo!? Leo!"
Mikey was screaming, and he flinched at how scared his little brother sounded. The innate need to comfort him kicked in, and Leo stepped forward, holding out his arms to him invitingly, smiling to let him know everything was alright.
“Hey, Mikey, what’s wrong-”
Mikey didn’t open his arms to hug him back.
Mikey ran through him.
Leo is cursed by a mystic whatever thingy. But don't worry guys, he's totally got this! Getting back into his body? Easy peasy.
(He hopes it will be easy peasy.)

Summary
“They’ll find out eventually, one way or another. And you know it’ll break them when they do, knowing you’ve been hiding an alcohol addiction from them. Are you really so self-absorbed that you think no one’s noticed how fucked up you are?”
Leo smirked, making eye contact as he chugged the rest of the mug down. Blue clenched his fist, squinting.
“They’ve noticed that I have nightmares. They’ve noticed that I can’t stomach anything slimy, squishy, or pink anymore. They’ve noticed that I’ve gotten quieter, joke less, argue less, and I take being the leader more serious than ever before. And…” Leo raised the empty mug. “They’ve noticed that it’s been five months since I’ve woken them up screaming in the middle of the night. Let them think I’m getting better, god knows they need to stop worrying about me so much.”
.

.Of all the problems Blue had to deal with after being hurtled back to an alternate past where the apocalypse never happened, coaching his teenage self through an alcohol addiction really wasn't one he saw coming
Edit 6/26/24: this fic and all of my rise fics are on hiatus for the forseeable future. I plan to finish it some day

Summary
After the battle with the Kraang, Splinter cannot bear to allow Leo to come that close to harm again, confining him to the lair for over a month without realizing how much the time has flown. Leo begins to lose himself more and more every day, causing his brothers to become fed up with Splinter’s actions and brainstorm a vacation idea to slowly allow Leo back into the world: a weekend getaway to a log cabin.

Summary
Leo's mind rebelled against the sensation. The heaviness burst into awareness, body, limbs, lungs, blinking. The middle distance he'd apparently been staring in focused. Leo was awake. Leo was aware. Leo was alive.
Being alive wasn't something he thought he'd be.
or: recovery fic featuring dissociation problems, missing limbs, and Leo discovering a familiar presence in his mind. twice the trauma in one body, what could go wrong?
