Summary
During the episode "Same As It Never Was," Donatello feels himself being summoned home. He can hear his father's frantic call and see his flickering silhouette. He reaches out, desperate to return, but something blocks him. He wakes up two days later to a funeral invite and one very burnt arm. He was going home... what stopped him?
Joined by a battle-hardened April and a salamander warrior grieving the loss of her partner, Donatello sets off in search of a way home. There's something trapping him here in this nightmare world, and they will stop at nothing to find it.
Feedback welcome! I love me some criticism.

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.

Tetra's boots land on the deck of her ship with a solid thunk.
It's a surreal thing to be back.

Summary
After dying on the Death Star, Obi-Wan Kenobi expects to; well, die. Instead, he wakes up in the initiate dorms at the Coruscant Temple. The Force has sent him back in time, given him a second chance, and he knows what he needs to do. At twelve years old, his life is at a crossroads. Does he apprentice to Qui-Gon Jinn or does he join the AgriCorps. He knows the fate of the galaxy if he chooses the former and so he dedicates himself to the latter.
Only, the Force works in mysterious ways. When a third option is presented, becoming Yan Dooku's Padawan, Obi-Wan has to make a decision.
With a new master and a new chance, Obi-Wan is determined to save the galaxy from Sidious's plans for it.

Summary
R2-D2 was hoping for a little bit of excitement when he was sent with Mistress Padme and Little Ani as part of Mistress Padme's protection. That was not what he got.
Now, Jedi Kenobi is clearly in trouble. As far as R2 can see, the best way to keep Mistress Padme safe is to save Jedi Kenobi.
Clearly, R2-D2 is the droid for the job.
