Summary
Leon’s pretty sure the afterlife isn’t supposed to hurt this much.
In the midst of making peace with his death at the hands of the Krang, Master Leonardo is thrown over two decades into the past, courtesy of his little brother.
Now faced with the challenges of reconnecting with a family he’d thought lost to him forever, the constant reminders of his past failures, and the antics of his sixteen year old self, Leon swiftly concludes he’s too old for this, and has to wonder if it’d been better had he not returned at all.

Summary
Handing Dee to Raph felt like handing Raph his beating, breathing heart. There would never be a safer place, in Donnie's opinion.
Hi there, kid, Raph said, in the the tenderest, sweetest tone Donnie had ever heard from him in the past or the present. You're so small. You're really, really small, you know that, right?
Dee blinked twice, then reached up to wrap a tiny hand around the tip of Raph's finger, and Donnie watched in real time as Raph melted into absolute mush.
[Based on Ghost in the Shell by Amevello Blue. Donatello's brothers meet the Rise kids, in the space between.]

Summary
"You," Donnie breathed as Mikey looked just as lost as the rest of them, "I found out what that staff did. I know what happened to you. What you are."
Leo blinked at the weird accusation, "Wha? Oh, Dee, I told you to throw that thing out."
"Yeah! You did!" Donnie bit out.
"Donnie," Raph started to move forward, "What's-"
"So, then, who are you?" Donnie snarled.
Leo smiled, "I'm Leo."
"Which. Part." Donnie began, stomping towards him until Mikey jumped in the way.
Or, Leo gets struck by a mystic beam that splits him into five parts of himself; literally.
And they don't seem interested in coming back together

Summary
Gio had fallen into their lives at a point where the safety net had more holes than threads to hold. He was young, had the signs of a life hard won and fought through, but he tried. Absorbed absolutely anything his family would give him, even when it was nothing at all. Dark eyes, taking in any and all of the light he could just to find himself.
It was a tragedy in three parts just to watch him thrive off wavering candlelights and embers, wandering around the halls like a detective finding hints of some past crime.
Mikey squares himself. Finds that thread left in him that’s farther and farther away every day. Gio deserves the light, he can make some for him. He can.
Or: a series of standalone oneshots about Giorgio Hamato finding a home, getting adopted, and being loved back--not necessarily in that order. Set in both timelines.

Summary
“Who are you?” Leo asks stupidly.
“Gio,” the probably imaginary turtle replies.
Leo’s mouth runs off before he can stop it. “Just Gio? Like Cher?”
God, he thinks. That was stupid, Leo. Not the time or place, Leo. You’re in the prison dimension. You’re dying here and you can’t even cut the jokes now? Raph was so right about you.
But the imaginary turtle surprises him by smiling slightly, the corners of his mouth pulling just barely upwards in a way that somehow completely transforms him. Not the time or place for jokes or smiling at them but here they are. Like company.
Or: a long-lost brother takes the long way home.

Summary
2012 x 2018 X-over. No knowledge of 2012 needed to read
In which Rise!Raph goes full older-sibling over Season 1 2012 boys, so we have our 12!turtles learn healthier communication & ways to express their emotions <3
A Tumblr description I saw and liked: "It's basically Rise!Raph looking at the 12!Turtles and saying: Wow, you guys look like you need an older brother. I'm taking that spot!"
Alternatively: In which Rise!Raph can’t get a break from his brothers, not even in a different dimension, and they sort of adopt each other. The family tree is getting harder to explain!
No bashing, Rise! and 2012 have different circumstances and upbringing. Please mind the tags! RiseAU & the disclaimer note.

Summary
Laying there with Raph’s twinkling nightlight in the corner and the sound of dad’s TV down the hall, Mikey thinks about things that last forever, things you can never outgrow—inside jokes between siblings, skilled hands wrapping sprained ankles, a door standing open in the dark in case you couldn’t sleep.
Then he thinks about those looks on Raph’s and Leo’s faces when they thought no one was watching. How lonely they’ve both been without their best friend on their team.
Or, how a Mikey makes everything better.

Summary
Looking back, Raph can count all the red flags he missed and hates himself a little more for each one. Leo sometimes causes problems for fun, and he likes to see what trouble he can get away with or get himself out of, and he is a downright menace to society when he’s bored—but he’s good. He’s sweet, and charming, and wants to help.
Leo wouldn’t have raised an issue with the other group of mutants, potentially cutting ties with useful allies, unless he had a decent reason to.

Summary
"If I can know." Leo silently started. "How... how did he die?"
"I wouldn't worry about it." Casey smiled. "Thankfully, your Michelangelo never had to do that."
"Let me guess- I saved the world in some awesome way by wrapping my chains around the Krang and throwing them into a building?!"
This Mikey was much more childish than Master Michelangelo. It made sense, as Mikey was much younger than Casey himself. The human chuckled, eyes shining with pride.
"Ah, no... You opened a portal-"Donnie choked on the cake he had been eating. April quickly started patting his back.
Raph had dropped his plate in shock, and Leo looked horrified, suddenly having a death grip on Mikey's hands.
Casey frowned.
"...What?"
Or
After finding out their youngest brother could have very much died opening that mystic portal, his three older brothers grow extremely overprotective of him.
Mikey, still not seeing the problem, is starting to break at the babying.

Summary
If you asked Mikey if he was protective of Leo, he would say of course he is! He wouldn’t even have to think about it, what kind of question is that? He’s protective of everything and everyone he loves, and he loves all his siblings more than life itself.
If you asked Mikey if he was overprotective of Leo, he would say whaaaat? I don’t—I think you’re breaking up actually, shhhcchhkkchhssh—and he’d artfully dodge the conversation by literally sprinting away from it.

Summary
There’s a sudden interruption of light. It’s like a tiny, localized dawn in this corner of Brooklyn alone. A glowing circle hangs over the pier, spilling warm yellow across the water and the boardwalk.
Mikey’s senses go to war with themselves. Obviously, historically, random portals are no good. His head knows that. But his heart is soothed by it, the way he feels when Raph is late coming home from patrol and he finally walks through the door.
It’s golden and gentle and it feels like family.
His brothers are tense, but they haven’t sprung into action yet. No one’s speaking. They must feel it, too.
Rise!Mikey’s portal in the prison dimension takes Leo a little bit farther than he meant for it to. 12!Mikey finds a familiar-looking stranger.

Summary
The world ends. The Krang win. Leo failed.
It was supposed to be on Casey's shoulders (and his shoulders alone) to go back and make sure the invasion never happened in the first place, but apparently his student had a little more inherited stubbornness than he'd thought.
(Leo ends up in the past. This changes some things.)
