Summary
After falling back down to Earth, Shadow's body ached like someone had just burned all his insides to a crisp. Losing his inhibitor rings certainly didn't help with that. It doesn't take too long to find them, thankfully, but the next thing he knows he wakes up in a room he's never seen before, surrounded by people he barely even knows—and his body still isn't cooperating.

Summary
Time still passed in a weirdly shaped blur, and Shadow couldn't tell if he'd been sitting next to Rouge for a few minutes or a few hours, but he found he didn't mind it anymore. He moved closer to her until their sides touched, his head coming to rest on her shoulder. Her constant chatter stopped for a moment, but before he could begin to worry about it, her arm wrapped around his shoulders and she continued.
None of them were usually the cuddly type, but something about the physical closeness felt grounding, like an anchor keeping him from drifting away too far. Rouge didn't seem to mind, thankfully.
Or, Shadow dissociates pretty badly. Luckily, Rouge is there to provide some much-needed comfort

Summary
A flash of light—brief enough that Whisper would've missed it had she blinked—from further inside the woods confirmed her suspicion. Surge.
She moved through the forest, as silent and precise as ever, trusting her senses to guide her the right way. It didn't take long to hear a voice, and she stopped her approach. Vantage points were plenty if you knew how to climb trees, so she did just that.
Surge stood in a clearing, charred dirt and trees all around her. It would've been easy enough to assume that she was simply trying to light the woods on fire, but her erratic movements didn't give her the appearance of someone who had a plan, simple as it may be.

Summary
When Shadow—alongside everyone else—was invited to Angel Island, he didn't expect to accidentally stumble across the Master Emerald. He also definitely didn't expect to be transported to another time and place, or that he would meet an Echidna who wasn't Knuckles. But, most importantly, he didn't expect said Echidna would try to talk to him about his feelings.
Or, as my friend called it: "4,000 year old Mesoamerican ghost girl explaining gender to someone from the 50s"

Summary
After a chaotic day—calling it that severely undersold the rollercoaster of finding the Master Emerald, losing it, almost dying, teaming up with his former enemy to fight his former ally, regaining the Master Emerald and saving the world, and then getting adopted—Knuckles found himself in a home he'd partially destroyed. It was a situation that would overwhelm even the mightiest of warriors.
Thankfully, he had the Master Emerald to cling to now, as well as family that would support him, and also teach him about the soothing effects of yoga.

Summary
After dusk, just when the last remnants of the city had gone to sleep, Mona set out to do what had to be done. Clouded in the lingering smog that obscured the sky at all times, she grabbed the bag of stolen clothes and tools that she had carefully collected over the past weeks and left. She didn't check if G'Throkka had actually fallen asleep, she didn't check if Vi—her Mech, her other half, the only person who knew what she would do tonight—still stood in the garage, unmoving without her input, she simply headed out and trusted that her makeshift family would be safe.
No matter how many times Mona maneuvered the labyrinth that she called home nowadays, the winding, packed alleys and cluttered main streets still sent her wandering in circles, missing the correct turn and leading her further away from her goal before making a sharp twist and sending her back on the right path. She'd never get used to this place and its strange, alien buildings towering over her, nor to the way the stagnant, freezing air seemed to push back against her, trying to get her to simply return home and forget all about tonight.

Summary
Karai let out a sob, an ugly, drawn out sound that shook her entire body. Shinigami paused her movements and, after a moment, tipped her head forwards. Once again, Karai let her, and her forehead collided with Shinigami's.
They stayed like that, unmoving safe for the shaking of Karai's body, and breathed the same air. Shinigami didn't say anything, didn't try to convince her that everything was okay when it clearly wasn't, she just pressed their heads together and patiently waited as Karai fell apart.

Summary
"Bullshit," Raph cut him off. The word could’ve been harsh and biting, but even as drowsy as he was, Raph knew better than that. Whatever was going on, snapping at Mikey would only make him retreat and while yes, Raph wanted to just go back to sleep already, he wasn’t quite enough of an asshole to send his brother away when he was acting like that.
Despite the way his body protested, Raph pushed himself up into a sitting position. "What happened?"

Summary
When Leo wakes up in a place he's never seen before, three months have passed. Three months that his family had been worried sick about him, three months for him to recover from his loss against Shredder and the resulting brush with death. Despite all the time that has passed, the wounds of his failure still sit deep.
But between the Kraang controlling New York City and the fate of his father still being undecided, Leo has no time to waste. If only the universe didn't have other plans.
Raph has spent every waking second looking after Leo and now that his brother is finally, despite all odds, awake again, he doesn't know what to do with himself. It's just his luck that—despite being forced to live together for months—everyone else has more than enough problems to bother him with.
Or, my take on what the 2012 Farmhouse Arc could've been like

Summary
The mutant rat stepped into the room, but thankfully stopped before he got too close to him. "You look better than before."
Michelangelo had figured as much. Because based on how he'd looked before waking up here, he should be dead. "What did I look like before?"
"Worse." He shrugged, like he wasn't entirely sure how to explain it. Maybe he could start by listing the numerous injuries that should've marked his body. "You looked pretty dead, honestly. Like Van Bradford after he almost drowned in his own pool."
"Sure." He didn't have any idea who this Van Bradford character was, but the almost drowning part sounded close enough to what had happened.

Summary
Unfortunately, the couch was already taken. Raph was sprawled across his side, looking about as done with the world as Leo currently felt, staring at his phone that had gone dark. He looked up before Leo could leave, catching his eyes. “Damn,” he muttered, “you look like shit.”
Leo huffed. “Like you’re one to talk.” Then, his voice softer, he asked: “What’s up?”
For a moment, Raph just looked at him, clearly debating whether or not to say anything. He sighed, eventually, Leo having successfully worn him down with his incessant stare. “Feels like my whole body got thrown off a roof and then run over by a truck.”

Summary
As Raph got closer, they traded quick, uncertain glances and he stopped in his tracks.
“What?” he demanded, unease creeping up on him at seeing his brothers act so dodgy.
“Yeah, so, y’know,” Leo let out an uneasy laugh that only set Rap on edge even more, “they uh, moved gym class back indoors?”
“What.” Raph forced out, doing his best not to yell.

Summary
“I think I’m just gonna- Yeah, I’ll just leave you to-”
Before Casey could abscond, April lunged forward and grabbed one of her legs. “Definitely not, Jones. You’re gonna stay right here and help me deal with… whatever this is.” She left no room for argument, staring her friend down.
“You sure you want me to help with this?” Casey questioned, sounding doubtful, “I know, like, nothing about babies.”
“At least you have a younger sister,” she stared at her, doing her best not to sound too desperate, “you know more about this than I do.”

Summary
At first, Leo’s recovery couldn’t happen fast enough. After a few (mostly conscious) days of being trapped in bed, he’d longed to go back to the surface. Now, though? It was the last thing he wanted to do. Despite his best attempts at ignoring it, the weird feeling of something being right behind his back, just barely out of sight, hadn’t gone away. If anything, it had gotten worse. There was no way he’d be able to go to the surface, with all its wide open areas and countless people who might be out to get him.
Instead, he stayed down in the lair, doing his best to drive back the growing emptiness where his organs used to be.

Summary
At those words, Raph’s mood abruptly changed. “Blow up?” He repeated, voice filled with amazement. “So what, you’re actually carrying bombs in that giant backpack of yours?”
“Yes,” his brother confirmed, but before Raph could get excited about it, he added: “And they’re not for you.”
“Come on!” Raph whined, unhappy about the sudden role reversal, but unable to do anything about it. “I can be trusted with explosives.”
Donnie stared at him for a moment like Raph had just told him Mikey always had great ideas. After another few seconds, he simply turned around and kept walking.

Summary
Raph woke up to a feeling that tasted sour coating his head. His mouth was dry, like he'd gone without drinking for a week, but even just the idea of that made nausea clog up his throat. His thoughts were heavy, clouded in a way that stuck to his skin like honey and made him want to bash his head in. His limbs dragged his body down, too heavy to be moved but also too brittle to carry his weight.
Still, somehow despite all of that, he pushed himself up—and immediately regretted it. Vertigo hit him like a tidal wave. Raph let himself fall back onto his bed, too afraid of toppling over if he stayed upright a second longer.

So, instead he did the mature thing and raised his voice: “What do you think you’re doin’ there?”
Donnie spun around, a glare plastered to his face. “Great,” he rolled his eyes, a gesture that was entirely unnecessary because Raph could tell from his tone alone how thrilled he was feeling, “the last person I wanted to see.”

Summary
Eventually, after what felt like years of trying to come up with a way to strike up conversation, Raph cleared his throat. “So, how’s it goin’?” His voice started out pretty high pitched, but climbed even higher at the end of his sentence.
If Leo thought continuing the conversation would be easier than starting it, he’d thought wrong. “I’m okay,” as soon as the words left his mouth, he realized that if he left it at that, he’d kill the conversation before it could even start, so he added: “I’m currently thinking about all the differences between us.”
Raph nodded way too enthusiastically. “Yeah, y’all are really different.” For a moment, his reply hung in the air between them, at least until Raph’s brain apparently caught up with what he’d said. “Uh, well, I mean- y’know…”

Summary
Gone were the mom beiges and bright summer colors. Everything inside that store was black. Casey stepped through the door, entranced by it all. Black shirts and pants lined the wall, alongside tiny dresses that revealed as much as they could get away with while still counting as clothing. Plenty of clothes had silver chains hanging on them one way or another and the belts Casey spotted had more spikes than were reasonable.
It still took her spotting a shirt with white bats on it to realize April had led her into goth heaven. She let out something that could be called a whistle if you were nice. “Shinigami would dig this place.”
