    Summary

    “Oh there's, uh, there's no need. We packed light.” More like they don't own anything worth taking with them, having pared their lives down to sad, metal rooms. “Nice to meetcha.”
    Newt holds out his hand, but Karla hugs him. This is not how he'd expect to be greeted by a Gottlieb.
    “I've heard so much about you,” she says when she pulls away.
    “Some of it good, I hope.”
    “You'd be surprised.” Karla laughs, crow's feet alongside her eyes matching her younger twin's perfectly. “Come on in, we're having drinkies and waiting for Bas.”

    in which Newt meets the siblings of his rival/situationship/admittedly best friend

    Summary

    Hermann cleared his throat and adjusted his grip on his cane, which, in an effort to stop people (read: Newton) tripping over it, was tucked neatly under the table. With the smallest of nudges, one end found itself in the path of one unlucky jaeger pilot. His tray went flying, and he hit the ground hard, and though Hermann was sure nothing had been broken by the fall, he still fought back a grimace in sympathy at the loud thud that echoed through the mess hall.
    Chatter at the surrounding table went silent, and several pairs of indifferent eyes landed on Hermann, who was pulling his cane closer to himself, placing it safely in his lap.

    Or: Hermann defends Newt's honor (like, a bunch of times)

    Summary

    The red-blue-red-blue of the police sirens cut through the fog of Charlie's fatigue, though he wishes it would stay for when this is all over. At this rate, he'd never get back to sleep. Not that what he's doing now, eyes three-quarters lidded, could be called awake.

    Dennis definitely is, though. His eyes wide and glassy, he watches Luther struggle against the two officers with his spine straight, frozen in position like a soldier.

    Summary

    Cyno's pact with the divine spirit has granted him an ability he sees as neither a curse nor a blessing: if he dies, he doesn't stay dead. It's not as though he hides it as an active secret but how does one even tell others about this? So, it just doesn't happen. Until he dies in front of them.

    In other words, Cyno dies a lot and makes it everyone's problem.

    Summary

    Most animals establish within their communities a sort of pecking order—an established hierarchy of which individual is most in charge, and which is the least. Among wolf packs, this leader is called the alpha. Among brothers, he is simply the eldest. With four turtles of indeterminate ages, Splinter makes an executive decision or four.

    Summary

    “Raphael,” she said gently. “I know it’s difficult for you to use the past tense-”

     

    “It’s not difficult, it’s just wrong,” Raph growled. He couldn’t look at her. This was the thing. The thing that made everyone look at him with pity. Like he was defective or broken. Like he was some stupid idiot who couldn’t get with the program.

     

    But it was everyone else who was wrong. Raph was the only one who was living in reality.

     

    “Leo. Isn’t. Dead.”
    _________________

    It's been two years since Leo's disappearance. The city has erected a monument in Bryant Park to honor and mourn New York's bravest young hero.

    While Leo's statue sits in the park, Raph sits in therapy. Everyone believes Raph is too traumatized, too wounded to process the loss of his brother.

    But there's something Raph can't explain, something only he can feel, something everybody wants him to ignore. It whispers softly somewhere in the deepest corners of his mind: he's still here.

    Raph listens.

    Summary

    Leo continued. “Now, scenario two is where I’m incapacitated, but so is Raph, or Mikey. If that happens, you take them, and leave me.”

    Don blinked. “…What?”

    “When you’re leader, you have to be pragmatic. If it’s a choice between saving me and saving Mike, or Raph, you save them. Always.”

    Or, Leo asks the impossible of Donnie.

    Apparently, dumb turtle luck happened and now Leo was a baby. Actually, it was Raph's fault but Mikey decided to let it slide. He was more than capable of babysitting the sleepy mini-dude until his brothers got back!

    Summary

    “John Bishop! It’s a pleasure to finally meet you in person- I am not generally one to prevaricate, but I was starting to think you wouldn’t be able to track me down before my voice broke.” Donnie said with a casual disinterest, not even leaving his eyes on the intruder sitting where Leo usually sat- back to the kitchen window, and the entire room under the view of his blank, featureless sunglasses. “I’d offer you something to drink- but. Well. You wouldn’t take it, and I don’t want you touching my things anyway. But don’t worry. We’ll have plenty of time to talk about that.”
