Summary
Donnie’s head was pounding and his limbs felt like wet paper as his senses started to return. Even with fuzzy vision, he could make out a horribly familiar office. Through the large, floor to ceiling window, the rising sun shined right in his eyes. Unfortunately, the ringing in his ears made it hard to distinguish sounds, but he knew the honeyed, singsong voice that was emanating from the lavender blob in front of him.
“Good morning, turtley-boos! I have a business proposition for you.”
---------
Or, the Disaster Twins are kidnapped by Big Mama and forced to fight in her Battle Nexus. Trauma, pain, brotherly bonding, and lots of fun angst for everyone!

Summary
Even after the years, even after all the time apart, even after everything, the ninja faithfully ran to comfort one another in the middle of the night.
And that was that.
But that was the ninja’s thing. Lloyd didn’t want his kids getting mixed up in it. He didn’t want the screams to upset them. So one day when they were out training with Kai, he soundproofed their room. Zane agreed that it was for the best.
--
The ninja are no strangers to nightmares, flashbacks, and general PTSD. Arin and Sora, however, are. And when Nya has a particularly bad episode, Arin and Sora learn some of the consequences of being a ninja.

Summary
“What, I'm just trying to lighten the mood! We're locked in a cage, failed in our mission, held for ransom by the Foot, and none of us gave dad grandchildren! I doubt a little joking will make things worse.”
Nodding, Mikey managed to smile. “Yeah, things could be worse, so—”
“You’re right, orange one.”
The turtles all shot to their feet at the sound of Baron Draxum’s voice.Donnie let out a strangled sound as Draxum rose up to eye level on a tide of magenta vines.
“I will give you one chance to tell me where the final piece of the Dark Armor is.”
The turtles glanced at each other.
“We don't know,” Raph said. It was the simplest and most truthful answer he could give.OR
Remember in the season 1 finale when Draxum threatened to torture the turtles for the Dark Armor? Yeah...
(Title is a quote from the book 'The Morning After Relapse' by Christina Hopp)

Summary
“Neither did we!” Skywarp bared his denta, snarling. “But we were better than all those other sorry afts vying for your favor, and at least we weren’t forged to spy on you!” Starscream only huffed at his words, waving his servo before turning back to his work.
Skywarp glared at his back, the clear dismissal irking at his very core. “We know you don’t want us around, Starscream, we’re not stupid. But you’re fragging stuck with us, and we’re stuck with you, so is it truly so difficult to ask you to try a little?”
“Yes! It is!” Starscream hissed, flaring his wings. “You’re right, I don’t want you around! I never wanted any of this!”
--
Skywarp has asked Starscream to dance at least three times in his functioning, to varying degrees of failure. He's willing to try one more time.

The presence was back. Leo didn’t dare move his head far enough to meet the gaze head on, afraid it would vanish if he stared at them directly, but watched with his peripherals. Haloed by stars, Lou Jitsu was crouched beside him, nodding encouragingly.
or: ever heard of third man syndrome?
