    Summary

    Donnie sent everything he could at the Shredder. He was tired of this monster hurting his brothers, his family. He thought if he could just throw everything, and he meant everything, at him that it would finally fall beneath his powerful scientific creations. He was so sure of himself too.

    But his tech did absolutely nothing. He did absolutely nothing.

    (Set right after Many Unhappy Returns, cause you know, there are so many fics about this already, what's one more)

    Summary

    "I'm their father!"

    "And you were mine, too!"

    Silence.

    "...you were supposed to be mine, too."
    ---
    Nearly one year after the Kraang and things have gone back to semi-normal. At least, as normal as could be: Splinter decided he wanted to start enforcing his traditional father role onto his sons. It would have been great--a dream come true, even--if it weren't such strict training that aggravated their chronic issues mixed with Splinter's confusing praise for his sons.

    Raphael, personally, was not gonna let that slide. He raised those boys from the time they were tots and Raph was barely a child himself, to present day where his brothers are his pride and joy. Raph may have made mistakes, but he will not let his brothers receive the same treatment as he did when he was a child--not when they were finally over their father's lack of attention.

    Summary

    Yes, fine, sometimes Leo would give up on doing whatever he wanted to do in favor of doing what Donnie wanted even though it clearly frustrated him that they once again couldn’t go to a movie because Donnie couldn’t bear the thought of sitting with a bunch of chewing people, surrounded by too loud speakers and no access to his phone in case it all got to be too much, but—

    God, he felt like a jerk.

    ---

    Human AU where Donnie overhears Leo's friends talk about him, which makes him realize he's been a pretty awful twin. From there he just goes spiralling.

    Naturally, the one who ends up getting hurt is Leo.

    Summary

    Donatello Hamato knew he was the weak link, an ugly mark on his family's portrait. It's why he pours himself into his technology; he provides, so they keep him around. They don't need him, they need his creations, his projects, yet he needs them desperately. He loves his family more than life itself. He'll do anything, hide anything, to stay with them and preserve their happiness. Or at least that was the plan before his mystic powers began manifesting in unexpected (and pretty annoying) ways.

    He just needs to hold it together; following a path of unpredictable destruction is worth the love of his brothers and he'll come out the other side just fine.

     

    Right?

    Summary

    It took a few tries for his shaking thumb to activate the green button on the too bright screen, but sure enough he managed and the loud music abruptly stopped. Silence.

    “...Donnie? ..Ya' there?”

    Yup that's Raph. Wait, he should say something. Right. What was the customary thing to say after answering the phone?

    “...H-helooo.”

    Nailed it. Well not really. His voice came out a bit too quiet, slurred, weak. Not like himself at all. He could at least recognize that between the obnoxious throbbing in his head. But he was sick, at least pretty sure he was sick; the softshell decided to give himself a break on this one. (spoiler alert: he was not sick)
