    Summary

    "You don't have to force yourself, Donnie."

    "No!" The other said, looking around nervously. "It's- it's just... we're in the open."

    "Yeah." 

    "..." Raphael narrowed his eyes, hands resting on his sais, on guard. Not only were they vulnerable, but Leo was hurt. The crutch was a painful reminder.

    But yet, as all four of them wanted nothing more than to go back... god, this was all they had ever wanted their entire lives. The sun. Open fields. And to be normal- but that would never happen. 

    "...We can also just stay, even for a bit longer?" Mikey offered, looking up. "The sun feels... nice." 

    Or

    As it turns out, turtles bask in the sunlight.

    Summary

    He wasn't important. He was nothing. The turtle had always known that.

    That had to change. Now.

    He had to be like them.

    Be like Donatello. Smart, kind, and always knowing what to do.

    Be like Raphael. Strong, brave, and always facing your troubles head-on.

    Be like Leonardo. Fearless, gentle, and always there for those who need him.

    Be like Leo, be like Donnie, be like Raph.

    But not like Michelangelo.

    Never like Michelangelo.

    Or

    Three times Mikey tried to be like his big brothers.

    And one time they told him he didn't have to.

    Summary

    Donatello is not having a very good day. And to top it all off, his baby brother is on the verge of death. And if he does... if he goes down... all they've done will be for nothing.

    On the other side, Michelangelo is thinking the very opposite. Because if his enemy, the person that tried to hurt his family comes away with only a few scratches, then it'll all be for nothing.

    Seems both brothers have some issues to work through.

    Summary

    “Mikey?”
    Michelangelo doesn’t answer, standing alone in the shadows. Leonardo moves to place a hand on his shoulder but pulls his hand back when the youngest screams in utter terror, his eyes wild and staring at the space around them. It’s a sound that haunts them all to their core, ringing over and over and Mikey keeps screaming and sobbing, begging for something they can’t understand. The fungi quickly latches onto his face, mushrooms digging into his eyes, across his shell -
    “Mikey!” Raph yells but Mikey doesn’t hear them, lost in his own nightmare and unable to defend himself as the mushrooms consume his face completely. Instead, they can only watch helplessly as Michelangelo gets dragged into the darkness.

    ~

    A mysterious infestation of fungi in the sewer system of their old home causes the turtles to each become trapped in the own never-ending nightmares. Imprisoned in the dark caverns and the last one standing, Leo must battle his own fears if he stands a chance of saving his brothers before they are all consumed by their own terror.

    ~

    TLDR: remember that 2012 episode with the fungus? I rewrote that for 2003, but much darker.

    Summary

    A tragic event on a lunar colony in Triceraton space far from home leaves the turtles desperately short of allies. And Mikey stands accused of murder.

    ***********************************
    “Relinquish your weapons," the Magistrate intoned loftily. "You won’t do your brother any good by resorting to your barbarous Terran habits. You see, Michelangelo’s sentence has already been carried out.”
