  Summary

  “Raph, you’re bleeding.”
  “...Oh.” He was? The snapper looked down, trying to get his eyes to focus. Sure enough, Donnie wasn’t lying- spreading out from underneath him, inch by slow inch, was a thin pool of red. Odd. He didn’t remember getting hurt. Why was he bleeding? Raph wasn’t too worried about the whole thing, but still…it was a bit of an issue, especially when he had a brother to comfort. “Huh. I didn’ notice.”

  Raphael is tired, but not too tired to comfort his little brother after a nightmare.
  The situation reveals itself to be far more complicated.

  Summary

  Raphael dies before his twenty-sixth birthday, just a little bit shy of Casey Junior's first. Not if Donnie has anything to say about it.
  (Sub-heading: it's fascinating what can be accomplished with robots, a shovel, and a plan.)

  This is actually somewhat of a sequel to my other Bad Future fic, better luck next time, but you don't have to read that to understand this.

  Summary

  After seven long years, Donnie has finally done it! Through the power of Ninpo, determination, and DEEPLY questionable science, he's defeated death itself and brought his older brother back to life! Raph is back, exactly how he was. Exactly how he was.
  Meanwhile, Raphael is having the weirdest day of his fucking life. Why is everything so broken? And when did everyone get so tall?

  (A character study on absence, memory, and what stays behind in the apocalypse. Is it "coming back wrong" if the world has moved on, but you stayed exactly the same?
  Updates as long as I have ideas.)
