   Summary

   The youngest Hamato brother, Michelangelo, has always been a light in their families lives. Always the one cracking jokes, making everyone feel better, like a family. But what happens when their younger brother starts to suffer from self hating thoughts, from bullying, from misconstrued comments and ultimately depression as a result? Will they be enough to save their brother from himself?

   TW* for depression, self-harm, suicidal thoughts, possible suicide attempt, and bullying.

   (I promise this will have a happy ending but there will be a lot of angst and dark themes before we get there!)
