    Summary

    Leo's mind rebelled against the sensation. The heaviness burst into awareness, body, limbs, lungs, blinking. The middle distance he'd apparently been staring in focused. Leo was awake. Leo was aware. Leo was alive.

    Being alive wasn't something he thought he'd be.

     

    or: recovery fic featuring dissociation problems, missing limbs, and Leo discovering a familiar presence in his mind. twice the trauma in one body, what could go wrong?

    Summary

    Leo knows this isn't about him; not anymore. But that doesn't stop the nightmares from haunting him every night, or the fact that he may have to wear a leg brace for a long time. It doesn't stop his shell from hurting, or his breath from catching when the air is too stagnant. Leo knows his brothers are struggling, too. But, in the aftermath of what happened to him - to them - he's having a really hard time getting back to normal.

    Summary

    Mikey had spent his entire childhood believing he only had one older brother. After an unlikely encounter turns his world upside down, he soon discovers a world—and a family, by extension—that's been hidden underneath his feet the whole time, and he's determined to reach out and make sense of it all.

    As it turns out, Donnie is just as desperate to connect with his lost family on the other side of things; all in spite of both his and Mikey's respective older brothers not wanting them to.

    (They really, really don't want them to.)

    Summary

    "My phone," he demanded, tapping his fingers urgently on Donnie's wrist. His twin wasn't carrying his communicator, which most likely meant it had fallen to pieces and no amount of force could put it back together. Although Mikey definitely tried his luck with duct tape,

    Raph frowned, and the concern on his face was momentarily replaced by irritation.

    "Leo," he started, and there was a warning note in his voice: "If you're thinking about your phone at a time like this, it's a sign that you have a damn serious problem."

    Leo huffs in frustration, tapping his brother's wrist once more, this time just to find some outlet for his mounting stress.

    "Usagi," he clarified, cursing the increasingly severe pain in his throat. "I have to call him."

     

    Or;

    There's time for recovery and time for pining - and it happend to be one and the same.

    Summary

    Leo glanced to the side, sharing a look with their brothers. He seemed annoyed all of a sudden, like Mikey was the one inconveniencing him in a major way.

    “Michael,” he said.

    When Dad said it, it was affection. When Donnie said it, it was a fact. When Raph said it, it was exasperation.

    When Leo said ''Michael'' – it was a warning.

    --
    Or: Four months after the invasion, Mikey and Leo learn how to deal with their new reality, their family – and themselves.
