Tmnt crossover + De-aged!Leo

I have been consuming quite a few of de-aged Leonardo fanfics and a lot of crossover fanfics.

The hidden City job episode where Piel, Hueso, and Leo hangout has a chokehold on me.

My mind came up with this.

A fanfic where Leo gets de-aged on an adventure with Piel and Hueso (or just Piel) due to a mystic artifact. At the same time turtles from another universe appear in Donnie’s lab because Donnie + mystic + multiverse theory should not mix.

Now, the two problems. Getting Leo back to his normal age and finding a way to send the other turtles back to their dimension.

Piel informs Hueso what happened and his brother takes Leo home so that Piel can find a way to reverse the curse. And baby Leo immediately latches onto his alternate self, probably because he thinks that everyone will be mad at him for what happened (he’s a toddler who knows something is wrong but doesn’t understand what it is or why). So older, alternate Leo has to now keep an eye on his younger counterpart until either they get the portal fixed or the find a way to reverse the spell.

Do you guys remember that one 87 episode where Leo is hit by a personality alterator and acts all out of character and his brothers have to go through many shenanigans to get him back to normal?

I was thinking, it'd be fun if it happened in rise, but like, better explained. So the machine would somewhat take away people's walls and acts, showing how they truly feel and think, or making it reverse.

Now, imagine the potential ANGST if Raph or Leo got hit. dude.

Raph freaks out whenever he is alone (even in the lair), he doubts his position in the family now that he's not the leader, he's scared he isn't strong enough to protect his brothers. I think he'd also only speak in third person after being hit. Much angst and cuddles ensue.

Now, if Leo got hit, BOI that would be so juicy. No acts, no jokes, he loses his whole thing. He's serious and insecure and can't mask it through shenanigans anymore. And what about when the bois see? Mikey and Donnie know that Leo deflects but Raph didn't know how bad it was and angst ensues because he is the older brother, he is supposed to know what's going on with his bros! (Dont mind me making it about Raph again)

Anyways someone should write this.

Mikey and coffee

Ik it's already kinda canon that mikey has adhd (and tho some would say all the boys are nd which like I wouldn't mind).

And ik adhd ppl can actually get sleepy from energy drinks/caffeine/coffee

And I just imagine that since mikey is already hyper and the youngest, the others will do everything to keep him away from anything caffeinated. Which they usually just distract him from it weather it's jupiter jim or a sweet.

But mikey is determined cos damn it everyone has had it and have you seen the pictures online, some with whipped creams and drizzles and latte art!

But how he gonna get that coffee?

My best guess is cassandra. She's chaotic force meeting chaotic force. Ofc she wants to see what happens and mikey might bribe her w either really good food or...mystic weapons (w both donnie and barry he could probably snatch smth)

Ofc mikey gets smth like frappacino w a shot and drizzle of every flavour the shop has w whipped cream (and cassandra being cassandra gets extra shots of expresso). And he takes a pic of his coffee cos if he doesn't get another chance. He makes sure he's alone before finally taking a sip and just in awe tho he's realising perhaps every flavour was too much.

Tho he can hear someone coming and now he chugging this concoction. His brothers and april pull up wondering why the heck is cassandra hanging w mikey.

Only stop in shock and horror at the sight of the coffee cup and immediately flung out the almost empty cup on the floor w donnie shooting lasers at it, raph smashing the cup, april and leo freaking over mikey while cassandra laughs in the background (tho she stops as the others shoot an accusatory glare at her which she just yeets away).

They're walking back into the lair scolding mikey and cassandra, worried mikey is gonna be on a whole new level of hyper and may have to do a check up cos what happens if his body can't handle it (esp when the find extra expresso shots in it).

But instead mikey very vocal defenses on why he done it dwindles to grumbles and whining and then just quiet until eventually he's back at the lair slouched.

Now they're worried that they might have been too harsh and upset him and try to make it clear that they're just worried.

But instead find mikey looking drowsy and actually saying he's tired and ready to sleep...at 7pm.

Now the whole fam is freaking for another reason cos he shouldn't be tired and rushing him to medbay cos that's it he's dying. But everything is come back normal and mikey is just...sleepy.

Mikey not really caring for his family shenanigans goes to bed (or hammock) while they try to firgure out what's going on (ofc donnie will be the one to find out and explain)

Alternatively, mikey gets a pack of energy drinks and chugs them as his family watch in horror

I’m gonna talk about my sep au with what if Draxum got his way!

CW: Child Abuse

Like. What if during all the explosions and bam boom pow of the lab explosion, Splinter sadly doesn’t get away with the turtles? Draxum is like “Wow, that was dramatic. But! I have my turtles now.”

He’s able to eventually take over the Hidden City and declare war on the Human World. And it goes very well for him!

Here’s the thing. I do believe that Draxum would make a good dad if he wanted to. And in most situations and universes, I think he would want to! He would want to take care of these little goobers and raise them with love and affection. The dude really is a total softy once you get past the very thin outer crunchy layer.

And this Draxum doesn’t want anything to get in his way from saving Yokai from the human threat, and that includes himself. This is a Draxum that makes every wrong turn, hardens his heart every chance he gets, and ignores the wailing of his conscience until he can’t hear it anymore. Stays so focused on taking over the human world until he wakes up one day and realizes he has almost achieved his dream. All it had cost him was his soul.

Relations with the turtles

Draxum didn’t create them with the intention of them being brothers. If anything, he doesn’t want them getting any bright ideas that if they banded together they could take him down. So with his idea of “raising them” includes things such as: having them only work together on his pre-approved missions, keeping them separated for much of their childhood, etc.

Another separated AU

Okay but what if the disaster twins were... Mandalorians? And the sunrise duo are... Jedi? And one day the twins get hired to protect the senator of Hosnian Prime from bounty hunters and two Jedi padawans were assigned to protect the same Senator and they just... Meet?

What if:

The boys are pretty much four of the last six specimens of their kind and were sent to Splinter (a former Jedi master who left to be with the love of his life but became a Mandalorian after completely losing his way) via Big Mama (the senator of Hosnian Prime, who is also his ex and sort of ditched him after he left the order) because she knew the children would be safe with him.

Splinter immediately feels that three out of the four babies are force-sensitive but doesn't want them to become Jedi (because he resents them for taking him away from his family when he was a kid), but one day, Draxum (another Jedi master and former friend of Splinter) comes to collect them and Splinter struck a deal with him in which Draxum only takes two children while leaving Donnie (the only one who is not force-sensitive) at least with one of his brothers so he won't grow up as an only child?

What if years later, Big Mama's life and her apprentices are in danger and therefore require protection from the Jedi order, but Big Mama also cashes in a favour with Splinter so he and his sons come to protect her as well? Only to meet Raphael, Mikey and their master Draxum?

Of course, Casey and Usagi are also there! Both of them are Big Mama's apprentices and Usagi is going to become the next senator of Hosnian Prime once Big Mama retires, while Casey is set to become his right-hand man. Both are from influential families and while Casey has 100% human ancestry, Usagi has Diathim ancestry which makes him appear slightly more attractive / almost hypnotic to others in the room. Usagi is also a human in this au, which will become more important after Order 66 gets issued and the imperial era starts.

The plot will mainly revolve around the topic of reunion and protecting Big Mama from her own people rebelling against her, but it will soon take a twist once the reason why her own people plan to kill her comes to light.

I don't know man, I love the idea of the disaster twins being Mandalorian so much and it's literally burned into the back of my head and I just can't stop thinking about it.

Number 16? 💜

[link to ask prompts]

16. How many fic ideas are you nurturing right now? Share one of them?

oh man... calling me out, huh? /lh

off the top of my head, including everything from vague ideas to the fully fleshed out ones, to the ones i've actually written stuff for? nine (at least). which may not seem like a lot, but as i am incapable of writing anything short and/or sweet, that is way more than i am capable of handling at the moment, haha.

as for the au, i've talked about this before on here, but i've fleshed it out a little more to a place where i'm happier with it! so, here's my origami ghost au!

credit where credit is due, i got the og idea/sick-ass name from @noodlenoodlenoodlenoodle. (thanks for letting me adopt this au, and play around with it! i swear i'll write that seratello follow-up fic one of these days <3)

the basic premise is this: leo gets put in a coma, and nobody knows why or how. mikey, who was with him when it happened, was found in a similar state, but woke up the next morning with no memories of what happened. everybody keeps hoping that he'll wake up, writing notes and folding them into little origami shapes for him to read through when he recovers. but time progresses, and they begin to lose hope.

when strangely folded origami notes start appearing around the lair, often scrawled with incomprehensible writing, the mad dogz begin to wonder. raph, not wanting to inspire false hope, dismisses the occurrences, encouraging the others to do the same. however, raph has a few suspicions of his own. enlisting the help of cassandra in order to avoid the suspicion of his brothers, they begin following the trail of strange, mangled origami animals and their often nonsense notes. following a series of clues to the gutters and back alleys of new york and the hidden city, they begin to uncover the truth behind what is happening. old grudges start to come to light, and with each secret uncovered, they find themselves beginning to question the very nature of what's been happening, leading them to ask the larger question behind it all: why?

meanwhile, donnie doesn't buy it. things just aren't adding up, and he's frustrated that raph seems so willing to just let something like this go. leo and him have always been close, and he doesn't believe for a second that his brother is beyond hope. he confesses his feelings on the matter to april, who has been having similar thoughts. the two of them decide to start doing a little research of their own on the side, without the knowledge of the others. on a hunch, they head to the mystic library (which they are banned from) and are able to "convince" (blackmail) a newer employee-- the long-suffering usagi yuichi-- to aid them on their quest. thrown into a world of ancient rituals, cursed items, and other "mystic bullshit" (donnie's words), the b team soon finds there's much more to this than they had thought. not to mention, things get dicey when their meddling goes just a bit too far, and somebody gets paranoid. (thank god they have a rabbit bodyguard...)

finally, mikey. mikey, whose been taking this all the hardest, whose brothers have been disappearing more and more often. who can't seem to remember what happened that night, and blames himself more with each passing day. not to mention, due to the effects of the invasion, his hands are too shaky to fold origami "right" (his words.) mikey begins to withdraw, acting like he's fine, while internally, he begins to obsess over what happened that night. his family doesn't seem to notice, being so busy with things they won't tell him about. it seems like it should be easy to slip out, leaving the others unaware, but he didn't count on thing: casey jr, leo's shadow and unspoken "second-in-command." in the spirirt of looking out for him, casey demands he be let in on whatever mikey is planning. mikey isn't happy, but he relents, letting casey in on a secret: he does remember something from that patrol. something that's been keeping him up at night. something that he isn't quite sure he can trust. together, the two of them start looking for the truth behind exactly what happened that night, and more importantly: who is to blame. driven by his growing anger, with casey keeping an eye out for him, he dons the moniker of the 'origami ghost,' venturing into the darkest parts of the city in search of a killer. but to catch a killer, mikey might just have to become one.

(featuring: my raph & cass qp agenda, donnie's horrible realization that feelings are a thing that exists (ew!), and some good old fashioned villan!mikey <3)

New Rottmnt fic idea

After the movie, Donnie find a way to track down his mom, his real mom, who's a regular softshell turtle. Instead of subjecting her to goo to turn her mutant, he fits her up with an exosuit (which everyone's kinda iffy on but hey, better than making her a mutant involuntarily)

I'd like to get piebald in there too, talking with Donnies mom about becoming a mutant by choice and why her son doesn't remember being a non mutant turtle (as opposed to her having memories as a non mutant fish)

I think Judith would be her name (one of Donatellos statues) and Splinter would call her Judy maybe? But Judy rejects him (L)

Mikey Raphael and Leo all want her to be their mom too, but they all get really quiet when they find out she can't skate, doesn't eat pizza, and doesn't really like video games. She's worried she can't connect with them and vice versa

I'd like to think of how she can connect with them and Donny... Any ideas?

Idk if she's going to become a mutant or not either, given the choice... again, any ideas?

SAINW but it happened over a 3+ year time period.

And Donnie was utterly and completely attached.

rottmnt drabble

So in 2012, Jei says “I sense the evil inside of you, Leonardo”

Imagine the rottmnt gang meet a yokai that says something similar to Leonardo. Say it’s a yokai that’s reading their auras and Leo starts going like “tell me, am I great or am I great?” like he usually does but the yokai doesn’t speak for a second before saying, “I sense an evil in you, child”

Donnie stands beside Mikey, watching his brother step up to the yokai with a grin. They had their auras read, something the genius didn't 100% trust. Sure, the yokai had told him great things about him, but things he already knew. He had intelligence and wisdom, potential to be greater than ever. Mikey had been told that he was brimming with positive energy, potential to be more powerful in the realm of mystics. Raph was given the rundown of loyalty, of anger simmering under his skin but the anger was a flame burning to protect.

They all knew of this. They all have figured out who they were. They all knew they had the potential of being amazing and growing powerful.

So when Leo went up to the elderly, wolf yokai, they all expected the same thing. For Leo to be told of his capabilities as a leader, to be told that he's holding himself back from it, that he was able to do something.

Standing off to the side, Donnie watches his brother, grinning and making a flippant comment about being great and awesome. The yokai goes silent, an indescribable emotion crossing their face. "I sense an evil inside of you, Leonardo."

Those blood-chilling words have them all freeze. They had expected words of praise, similar to their own. They had expected the reveal of the potential that Leonardo possesses if he would try.

It seems they had all been wrong.

And, for a funny spoiler on a scene from the one shot I'm working on (unrelated to my other works):

Context: Mikey and Leo are unable to lie about their feelings or keep up their walls.

Mikey, in a heartfelt moment: people like you, Leo.

Leo, without realizing: no they like the carefully curated version of myself that I create interactions ;)

Mikey:....why not just be yourself

Leo: *wheezes* WHO WANTS TO SEE THAT LMAOOOOO

Raph: Mikey, let's just forget it-

Mikey: I HATE YOUR SMILE BECAUSE I KNOW ITS A LIE!

Leo: GUESS WHAT LIL BRO I HATE IT TOO!

Mikey: I FEEL LIKE NO ONE TRUSTS ME BECAUSE EVERYONE IS ALWAYS LYING TO MY FACE! AND YOU ARE THE WORST OF ALL!

Raph: Mikey... we- I don't- I-

Donnie, starting to go into numbness mode to avoid letting out emotions in dire situations: You both calm down, this is getting us nowhere.

Mikey: WHY DONT YOU JUST LET US SEE THE TRUE 'YOURSELF'?!!

Leo: BECAUSE I DON'T EVEN REMEMBER HOW TO BE THAT GUY!!

Mikey:

Donnie:

Raph:

Leo:

Donnie, trying to keep his voice from wavering and avoiding eye contact: You both go to your rooms. Now.

Right Through my Walls. Comming soon.

Ballet master mikey

Literally while I'm trying to sleep I couldn't stop thinking abt this. Like all I could imagine so many fanart of mikey dressing up in leotards and tutus and sparkles (like you can't tell me the boi w stickers and smileys wouldn't bedazzle his outfit!) While he doing some sick ballet moves.

ALSO the idea that he's super graceful on land while super clumsy in water (cos box turtles are not the best swimmers, actually can only swim in shallow waters for short distances ONLY)

And like the fic ideas. Like imagine the his other brothers start teasing him (probably leo first) abt doing ballet and mikey getting pissed and betting them to do it. Idk what like losers gotta clean the lair top to bottom.

And all the other brothers so confident with their strengths: raph strong, donnie intelligent and leo just straight up winning (almost) all the time.

Mikey ofc calling april to come watch (and record) cos he knows whats up and she knows he knows he's being a little shit and ready to sit back and enjoy the shitshow.

And ofc the other brothers are now realising their mistake, cos dear god they have to constantly stand on their toes! And what do you mean they have to hold their leg up for that long while their dying leg bouncing and spinning them around without falling face first. And mikey constantly adjusting them as they straining to keep as straight and steady as possible.

And basically just collapsed in a turtle pile after like 20 minutes while mikey literally dancing around them like nothing. And mikey like "aw you guys ok, I thought you said you can 'twirl circles around me' and the only one I see doing that now is me".

And I'm like sooooooo unfulfilled that looking it up on ao3 and tumblr to find like 2 fics and 5 posts on this ;-;

smth for @remedyturtles new fic firefight! the twins ever <3 i'm sure they're fine

LMAO

IMAGINE DONNIE UNDERWATER FOR 7 MONTHS

Bro, now I just wanna see the Mud Dogs reunite with Raph after years sobbing and hugging!

found family reunions are the best kind of reunions, especially when one of them has changed drastically

(I've gotta make a masterpost for this au with all these reunion doodles, lol)

Listen, I hear y'all and your Touch Averse Autistic Donnie headcanons. But may I take a moment to present you with the option of: Physical Comfort Autistic Donnie, who is very comfortable touching his family and friends and with them touching him? And who uses physical touch as a way to show love without words?

Bc once you start looking for it, he is CONSTANTLY in physical contact with someone, and it's almost always in an affectionate way
