Summary
Kaiman stared down on Leonardo and said in his deep, nauseating voice: “The code of honor you choose live by is only for the weak and the fools, of which you are both.” As he continued staring at the much smaller turtle, he issued the very real threat: "The punish shock is capable of causing severe harm and possibly killing you. Do you understand?"
*Beep* went the neuro-tech disruptor attached to Leo that was used to shock him into submission.
Leo nodded his head without taking his eyes off the tempting jug of cold salvation in Kaiman's hand.
"And yet you still choose to refrain from taking a life?" he next asked.
*Beep*
Leo nodded his head again.
After that, Kaiman gave him a devious grin and had the nerve to tip the jug up to his own mouth to take a big swig right in front of him, before setting it down on the floor directly outside the glass wall between them.
“You would have earned your water today if you had obeyed my command. Let this be a lesson for you.”

Summary
Leo will be fine. Sure, he may have a big hole in his chest, and he’ll probably be out for the count for a while, but he’ll recover. He just hates that his brothers will be the ones to pick up his slack. He can only hope they’re strong enough to face the Godless on their own but he supposes it could be worse. He could be stuck in Neo Edo all alone, but thankfully he has Yuichi to keep him company. It won’t be all rest and relaxation, however. They still have the Council to worry about.

Summary
I introduced the 2012 TMNT to the MCUs Spiderman because I thought they would vibe.
This takes place after Spider-Man Homecoming but Civil war never happened, they are a big happy family your honor. They are still a team, he was recruited for other reasons. The avengers all live together in the Avengers tower but he still lives at home until he’s out of highschool. In the TMNT universe it takes place sometime after the Season 4 Episode 26 “Owari” (The season 4 finale and the last episode I personally consider canon.) I realized it’s literally impossible to combine their timelines without it making no sense, so I found another way to combine them. You’ll have to read it to find out how they are meeting.

Summary
"Donatello is unaware your body is being kept at an Earth's Protection Force base."
"Waitaminute," Leo blurted out, "He doesn't know my body's at the EPF base, or he doesn't know my body's at the EPF base!?"
Draxum's cheeks turned a bright pink from shame when he admitted: "As of yet your family are unaware of your untimely demise."
A flash of blue ignited in the darkness, sparked from Leo's rage flaring up when he aggressively accused: "You didn't TELL them!!?"
"I..." before Barry had a chance to respond, the enraged slider demanded in no uncertain terms: "TELL them TO-NIGHT!!!" Then he was gone - leaving to spend as much time with his family as possible before sunrise came to force him back to that lonely place of Limbo.
-or-
Leo died, his family doesn't know yet, and he can only interact with Draxum. All this changes when a Bringer of Death extends an invitation to join his kind, promising Leo will be able to return to earth with his family . . . but as a vampire.
What he will choose will not only shape the rest of his afterlife, but also put the power of life and death for many in the palms of his hands.

Summary
BEING REWRITTEN! please stand by
Raph barely breathes. Barely thinks.
Their mad dash back home is frantic, uncoordinated, borderline dangerous. Draxum drives the van (much to Donnie's protests, though they are in no condition to themself), and more than once, the vehicle jolts unpleasantly as they roll over piles of rubble.
Maybe it isn't just rubble.
Raph shudders.From his position on the floor he can only see the tips of the crumbled buildings, the barest sliver of the damage done to their city.
Are there any buildings left standing?
…Is anyone still alive?Or: post-movie raph and mikey focused fic with time travel shenanigans, good old family bonding, and more!

Summary
Leonardo knew he would die one day. He knew, the day of the invasion, that he was going to die there. He, not worthy of living for his brothers, gave himself up. And he knew he was going to die. He did die.
So why is he NOT dead, why are there younger and different versions of him and his brothers and friends running around, and WHAT do you mean he's not even near his original dimension. How does that even happen

Summary
The heroes of New York City remained unnamed and faceless, slowly becoming a mythic tale for children to look up to. They were slowly being forgotten, in just the right way, and just the way they intended to. Almost forgotten, at least.
Crime may have slowed, and some criminals may have given up on that life, but that didn’t mean grudges didn’t still hang heavy in the air. That didn’t mean everyone gave up on their evil ways.
--
Or;The Purple Dragons escaped their imprisonment and decided to take out their long-standing grudge on Donnie. By creating a virus to infect his tech, they infect him. They drag Donnie through hell and back to manipulate him into doing their dirty work.

Summary
He turns around. An old 80’s television is sitting right there on the ground, just behind the spot he'd woken up from before. A black and white sea of shaky, crunchy static runs across the entire screen, emitting a soft glow in the near-lightless forest, and a quiet droning that feels loud in Leo’s head. There’s no wires, antennas or even a remote, and yet the TV is somehow switched on.
He can just barely see his own reflection in the screen, though it looks more like a silhouette without his face visible. Strangely enough, it almost feels like it’s staring back at him–
A shapeless voice echoes urgently in his head, “Find your twin. He needs you.”
And then, without warning, the TV shuts itself off.
(or, Leo and Donnie end up in the world of Little Nightmares, forced to navigate giant, creepy monsters, evil school bullies, a mysterious signal tower, and fate trying to pull them apart)

Summary
Burdens are hard carry. What would you do if not only were you tasked with protecting your family, but also the rest of the world? Could you cope with that?
Leo has his own ways. They may not be "healthy" per se, but they keep him grounded enough to put a smile on his face and pretend that he has his shit together. He doesn't, though. Not on the inside. His mind is a dumpster fire, begging to be extinguished. But he can't share, or he risks burning the ones he loves in the process. Leo would sooner die by the blade of his own sword than risk the safety of his family.
And that may just be the case. -

Summary
Leo had spoken a lot of “last words” in his life -almost always as a joke, but watching as Krang One lumbered towards his slouched form, all grating, metal armor and fury, Leo wished he could have thought of something more meaningful to say as he released his hold of the last Krang and watched the light of the portal close in on itself.
OR:
Leo is recovering from his time in the prison dimension, but the prison dimension was built to keep the Krang confined, nothing else. Even Leo's brief exposure to the prison dimension was enough to make him realize this. -

He didn’t feel…anything.
Not the persistent dread, not the crushing weight of his own failures and guilt. Not even the constant fatigue from having to wake up every morning.
Maybe he would have felt happy, if he could.
Or,
Leo get’s cursed and is…happy about it? Will he try to undo it, or will it be the death of him? -

Summary
"Stars above– Leo, it's freezing!" Usagi shrieked, ears already starting to burn with the chill.
Leo's head shot up with a delighted grin, cupping his mouth so he could yell back. "I know! That's why you need to let me in!"
"Let yourself in!" They were echoing through the city. Usagi stuck his head further out of the window so his neighbours could keep sleeping peacefully, swirling his finger in a circle. "You're the one with the portals!"
Leo's grin widened, amused and oh-so-innocent, and he lifted his arms up. No swords underneath his hoodie.
Usagi frowned. He walked?
or,
A month ago, Usagi met Leo. He had absolutely no idea how significant that would be, for both of their lives.
