Summary
Leo watched him awkward. Instinct told him to try to relax and make a joke, but something made him feel that this one would not be well received.
"Don't worry, big brother," said the one in red bandana.
(And something in that sentence was wrong).
"You'll get your memories back and then we'll all be training together again, you'll see" he told him with a confident smile, looking like he believed every word he said. But faltering at the end of the sentence, showing a bit of his doubt.
Leo tried to smile back, only ending with a strange grimace.
Everything was wrong, his body was wrong. And even though he didn't know what was going on, he was just sure that those people were not his brothers.
O
Rise and 2012 Leo change dimension. The problem? They both have amnesia, they are in each other's body and they both just woke up from their respective coma.

Summary
Red was the first, but Raphael didn't know that. In her mind, she was all that there had been, and all that there needed to be. To be safe. To protect them. But sometimes she felt it - something chaffing inside of her, like sandpaper against an open wound. Somehow, she was always bleeding everywhere, and she didn't know why.

Summary
By eight thirty the lair was running on generator power and Donnie’s ears were ringing so loud he couldn’t even hear the baritone of the motor thrumming out in the open sewers. Note vibrating on the handle because no twin had returned home to rip it off with a roll of his brown eyes before depositing the original propane tank nearby. Donnie couldn’t hear Mikey’s voice as he asked about Leo, he couldn’t feel Raph’s hand as they brought him into the lair to warm up his frozen fingers.
Someone else moved Donnie’s mouth and made his vocal cords vibrate into the open air of their home. Someone else stood in the doorway of their father’s room begging their dad to get out of bed because Leo was missing. Someone else felt the world caving in because all the things that were supposed to be unimaginable were happening right now.
As if panic could knock back a respiratory infection Raph and Mikey hooked the TV up with Donnie’s numb help. The weather report was worse than they last knew. That blizzard that was originally projected to hit tomorrow by one in the afternoon would be here at their doorstep much earlier.

Leo sabía que no era el favorito, te preguntarás ¿De que exactamente?
Pues absolutamente de nada, Leo crecio desde siempre sabiendo que nadie que lo conociera de alguna manera cercana le agradaría, estaba seguro que si Raphael, Donatello y Mikey no hubieran sido sus hermanos le hubieran dejado de hablar desde hace mucho tiempo.Todas la personas tienen un limite y Leo ya se estaba empezando a cansar.

Summary
"But we aren't. We're talking Hamato clan and lost memories. And the fact that you've forgotten that April's the oldest tells us she's part of the Hamato clan. She's your sister, and you gotta know who she is before we get back. Besides, Casey's your sister and she's human. You don't think shes a real part of your family?"
Mikey and some other mutants are kidnapped by scientists, and only a few of them are able to escape months later. To make matters worse, with his lack of mystic training Mikey had to give up all his memories of the Hamato Clan just to have enough power to break out. Now he and his new... unconventional family are making their way back to New York.

Summary
Raphael has never been a forgiving turtle. He knows it, his brothers know it. April and Casey know it. In his defence, it's well earned. He protects his brothers and his human friends, he protects himself.
Splinter wasn't always an attentive parent and Raphael hasn't forgiven or forgotten it, even if his brothers seemingly have.

What We Leave Behind (How We Start Anew) by iam57311

Summary
How any of them ended up in this whole situation was a mystery. Regardless of how it came to be (and regardless of how much of this ordeal was Draxum's fault), they now had a bundle of baby mutant turtles under their responsibility. Such a thing can only be so easy when stuck co-parenting with someone you barely know but have every reason to hate just the same
Or, a take on the 'Splinter and Draxum raise the turtles together' AU that allows most of Rise canon to still happen... with a twist :)

Summary
Donnie and Leo decided, back when they were kids, that they were going to marry each other. They have always been extremely close to one another and their family thought this behavior was borderline codependent. Then, they found that there was a reason for their codependency and unwillingness to let the other alone for a mere minute: They were in love.
Mikey was on their side, even if he didn't agree fully on what they were doing. Raph was extremely anxious as he tried to help them hide this from their father.
And Splinter, being so caught up in his own twisted mind and past, just believed it was brotherly love until he decided to play a bigger role in their lives as he fought his way out of depression.
The newfound couple must go through all of the obstacles their family, unconsciously, had imposed on them as they try to figure out their own feelings and how their relationship fits into their family. -

Summary
The headphones were tossed onto a work desk without care, crashing into the surface with a rattling clang. The sound echoed in the quiet chamber, and Leo flinched as he brought both hands to his tympana. His eyes were screwed shut, lips pressed tightly together. After a moment, though, he cracked one open. The next followed as he stared wordlessly at Splinter and the rest of them.
Splinter opened his arms. “Leonardo, my son – ”
“Ahem.”
Leo was off like a shot. He scrambled to his feet in such a wild motion that he smashed into a table, pushing off of it as soon as he collided. Beakers and bottles and all sorts of sciency shit smashed into shards. Between one heartbeat and the next, he was on his knees, shell to them, facing Shredder.
Raph felt his stomach turn.
or, the aftermath of the almost four months Leo spent with the Shredder. Conditioning and sensory deprivation has done its job and turned him into the loyal son the Shredder asked for. The Shredder couldn't be more content, really. Raph, Donnie, and Mikey, by comparison, are sickened by what their enemy has done to their brother.
Leo is just scared.

They may not be Huntsmen or go to some fancy Academy, but these turtle boys won't back down from a fight. There's nothing stronger than a family after all, just ask Dominic Toretto.
