Summary
Splinter had never intended to be a parent.
Because really. Lou Jitsu? A father? A dad? Pigs would fly sooner!
And yet…
He didn’t regret it. Never, not for a moment did he regret keeping them. Loving them, as best as he knew how, which wasn’t very well at all. But he didn’t regret it.
And yet.
And.
Yet.
It was hard to love anything when he fundamentally, full-heartedly, unflinchingly loathed himself.

Summary
After the Kraang invasion, the Hamato Family is desperately trying to heal. Both emotionally and physically. While Donnie watches and assists his injured brothers, his body starts to fight against him. Donnie doesn't want to take the care away from his brothers, so he keeps it to himself, ultimately making everything worse.
(This fic is basically me projecting my fibromyalgia onto Donnie and seeing where it takes me.)
This is my first time writing fan fiction! I've been a writer for years, but never shared my work, so honestly, I don't know if I'm all that great at it. Critiques are welcome, just be nice about it, please :)

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
Sometimes, being unseen hurts more than any wound. Donatello just wanted to be understood to be noticed for more than what he could build or fix. But when no one seemed to listen, that emptiness started to whisper louder than reason. The Shredder saw what his family didn’t: potential, brilliance, and a boy desperate to belong. And in that search for belonging… Donnie made a choice that would cost him everything.
Raised in the Foot Clan’s shadow, Donatello becomes an invaluable asset to Shredder. Manipulated with lies and twisted truths, he grows up believing that Splinter was the evil one and that his brothers were never truly his family. Shredder has not only taken one of Splinter's sons but has turned him into his own heir—a weapon capable of destroying the very family that raised him.
When the time comes, the turtles finally emerge from the shadows and confront their lost brother, only to discover a cold, hardened Donatello who no longer remembers them the way they remember him.

Summary
Splinter was never looking to be a father.
Rats are social creatures, but he’d never been like his brethren. He lived an ordinary, solitary rat life, chased and hated by everyone and everything.
Until that all changed.
But even when four baby mutant turtles turned his whole world upside down, the universe wasn’t done sending him surprises. It sent him a crying human baby, completely terrified and alone during a harsh thunderstorm.
Despite his old instincts still being strong, he soon comes to the realization that he’s the only one who can take care of this child. But him? Raise a human? The species who hated him most?
It wasn’t going to be easy.- Language:

Family Tradition by SibillaScribbles08
Fandoms: Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Cartoon 2018)
21 Oct 2025
Tags
Summary
Splinter told his ancestors to fuck off.
Well, no, he used far more polite language than that, but the intent was the same. When they said they would force him to chose one of his sons to carry on the Hamato Tradition as punishment for his negligence, he told them no.
But the ancestors weren't as rigid as he thought, and just by picking Leo out to be the leader, he sealed his son's fate.
Maybe.
Splinter isn't about to give up that easily. There has to be a way to save his son from this family curse.
Even if Splinter has to pick up the family tradition instead.
Inspired by a comic from tumblr.
