CaptainLeo:
@everyone
Whoever’s Mikey has been screaming in the ASMR voice channel for three hours straight, could you get him out?HasTheBraincell:
I’m so sorry that’s mine
I wondered why he was so quiet~~Electro~~:
THREE HOURS SHDHSJJSKI_Crave_Chemicals:
This is the third time in four days.
Please control your Mikey or I will have to use force~
In universe 2003, Donnie tries to experiment with the inter dimensional gun the 1987 turtles had given him. Instead, he accidentally creates a multiversal chat room for many different versions of his brothers, and counting.
It certainly makes life…interesting.TLDR: multiverse group chat between most iterations of the turtles. Starts with 2003, 2012 and 2018 but more are added as I go. 50% plot and 50% chaos.
*now includes the 87, mutant mayhem and bayverse boys!*Series

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.

Summary
“Coming in hot!” The snapper, instead of running directly into the sea, takes a detour and jumps up one of the higher rocks. With a wicked grin, he then dives directly on top of where Donnie and Leo have just begun to bask and sends huge waves that engulf them both with ease. April bursts into laughter as she can hear Leo’s panicked shriek and Donnie’s angry hiss echo across the beach.
As Mikey continues to dig a burrow next to her, April finishes setting out the beach towels and lays down on a bright yellow one, relaxing as the warm rays of the sun seep into her skin. She lets her senses drift away a little, content on listening to excited shrieks and chirps of her brothers.
~
It’s a hot summer day in New York - a perfect day, in April’s opinion, to take her mutant turtle brothers to the beach for the first time. Shenanigans ensue.
AKA: Turtle instincts, beach edition.

Summary
It is then, as his eyes travel to follow Michelangelo, that Leo spots the way the water is dripping thicker now, seeping through the concrete of the ceiling. There are signs he has carelessly neglected – the cracking on the stone, the groaning of pipes around them. His cheerful mood snaps.
Something must reflect this in his expression; Mikey pauses, a few feet ahead of him, face twisting to concern.
“Leo –“ he begins, but is interrupted when everything shudders. Rubble drizzles, then throws itself upon them as the roof collapses under the strain of the water pipes.
For a moment, Leonardo’s eyes meet his youngest brother’s and see the terror flash inside them. He barely has time to take another breath before the world caves in, and everything goes black.~
While the brothers are out exploring a new sewer system, the whole thing collapses. With no way to get out and separated from each other, they all face their own struggles, injuries and fears as they fight to survive and find each other.
TLDR: a sewer caves in. Leonardo and his brothers are trapped because I like angst.

Summary
Rain lashes down upon them, merciless, but Orange is only aware of the acute details he takes comfort in on that first night. Red’s spikes slightly dig into his arms. Purple’s breath tickling his cheek. Blue’s claws brushing against his scutes. And, most of all, the soft vocalisations that hum in their throats like a soft lullaby. Chirps and clicks that rumble in their chests, promises of safety and love lining each vibration. They drown out the booms of thunder, wrapping Orange in his own safety net as he closes his eyes. Entirely unique, these sounds mean his brothers are here, that he is safe.
~
When they were tots, Mikey found comfort in the chirps his brothers would make to calm him. Now, faced with the destruction of their home, he seeks this comfort once more.
TLDR: An excuse to write about chirping turtles because I love the idea.

Summary
Oneshots (possibly multi chapters) based on turtle biology, instincts and habits that the Rise Turtles (and possibly 2003 turtles later on) may have carried from their origins. Mostly lighthearted stuff with occasionally mature themes underneath.
I do art for all these works on my tumblr, @dysfunctional-doodle (blog: Turtles all the way down) so check it out if you want some bonus content :)

Summary
There’s an old cliche that starts with everything happening too quickly to process, and ends with an inching slowness that steals all your hope right from under your fingers. Mikey was not a big fan of cliches, he liked to think he was more of an out of the box kinda guy. Liked everything fast paced and wild and careening around corners with a whole lot of razzmatazz.
Then again, there were no more original ideas, as they say.
Or, the one where Mikey gets trapped in a bad guy foiling gone awry, and everyone worries.

Summary
Mikey's birthday was supposed to be fun. Full of excitement and treats and warm-good memories. But all he has are rope burns and the strong taste of blood on his tongue. The second he slipped, the second he thought otherwise, it all came crashing down and now he doesn't know how to get out.
If he even can get out, that is. He's scared and nobody's answering their phones.
-
Mikey gets kidnapped by a college, student run club, which is literally just a cult. And they've decided Mikey is the perfect candite for their cultish activities and when they're all done for the day they lock him a closet. Because what else are they supposed to do with him? Let him go? No, of course not! That would ruin everything and they've come too far to stop now.

Summary
Donnie’s brow somehow lowered further. “I… you’re taking this remarkably well, Mikey. You got shot. I don’t even know if that’s fully registered with you yet, but even still, no normal 15 year old should be making jokes about a bullet embedded in their body only an hour after it happened.”
While out on a Saturday night patrol, Mikey suffers a bullet wound and falls unconscious. Once he wakes up, Donnie can't understand why Mikey's still so jovial.
(Rated Mature for swearing, general violence, blood, referenced self-harm and suicide, past character death, and some intense emotions.)

Summary
And for as long as Michelangelo can remember, he’s always been perhaps too curious for his own good. His father would agree, if he were here, and when Mikey cranes his head upwards and lets the glow of the light follow, he’s very much wishing his dad was here with him.
Up on the ceiling hangs some sort of… creature.
In a very fast glance, Mikey would almost say it looked like an oversized squirrel on account of its long, curled, bushy tail that it had tucked to its contorted body where it hung upside down on the rafter. Its pointed buck teeth stood stark out the front of its snarled, almost grinning mouth, its beady little eyes were wide and glossy, almost big enough for Mikey to watch back his own terrified expression in their reflection.
It hisses at him — a high, keening sound that has him stumbling back hard enough that his shell hits the wall hard, pain buzzing hotly along the faintest of cracks there.
(aka rabid squirrelanoids in the 2k3 verse)

Squirelnoids but 2003
Mikey yeeted himself into the lower sewer tunnels and perhaps maybe has a cracked shell and a bad concussion poor dude(I have noticed a trend that I have a lot of bookmarked fanfics where Mikey falls into a lower sewer area, what a weird flavour of angst I keep gravitating towards. I’ve even done it in two of my own stories, wtf)
