Ingrained Into Flesh And Bone by Trash_Panda11

11 Aug 2025

Summary
Splinters sons have always been.... odd.
It's always something out of the usual happening with them. Purple learning to read with no instruction two years before Splinter would even think of teaching him. Blue having the verbal skills to manipulate Splinter by accident at just four years old.
Orange being flexible and agile enough to squeeze into little spots and then jump halfway to the ceiling as a toddler. Red breaking things far beyond what a toddler should be able to do just to get to his brothers again.
But these are mutants we are talking about, and children. Surely this must be normal.

Summary
Hamato Michelangelo was not quite the energetic ball of sunshine everyone had dismissed him as. Not like he wanted them to think. That he had fooled them to believe. Alone now, in his room, he sits with his back to the wall, with his kusarigama in hand, and he thinks. About his life. About the way he's treated. About what is really worth this emptiness that has hollowed him out.
He makes a decision. One that, as intended, was irreversible.
And maybe in that, as the story of his life closes out, he would finally find some semblance of peace.Series

When they start to see just how bad they've let things get, Donnie, Raph, and Leo just hope that they can still fix this.
or;
Mikey is not treated right by his family, and they finally realize just how bad it's gotten.

It’s Not Abuse If They’re Family by SketchieFoxie
Fandoms: Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Cartoon 2018), Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (TV 2012)
03 Feb 2025
Tags
Summary
Mikey squinted when he saw his reflection. He didn’t look normal. The face staring back at him was incredibly familiar, like having déjà vu. Round face, freckled cheeks, orange mask, big blue eyes. Hadn’t he drawn this yokai earlier?
The filmy layer on the screen crept away, starting from the outer edges, creeping towards the center, revealing the face behind. It was a turtle mutant of sorts. Big eyes, medium length black hair, yellow freckles, and an orange bandana tied around his neck. The stranger’s eyes widened as he stared at Mikey, expression full of curiosity.
In a flash of blinding light, the two switch places, a Mikey and a Mikey, in two separate worlds.
Or: Rottmnt Mikey swaps places with 2012 Mikey, and the two go through life changing events. Rottmnt Mikey has to help banish the Krang a second time, in a new universe, while 2012 Mikey uncovers a mystery within his newfound family, potentially tearing them apart.

Summary
Raph grit his teeth, growling into his communicator as he pushed against the snake mutant. His tonfas were knocked away a while ago, so Raph had to resort to his own strength. His brothers had all been awake when he left to go on patrol, but given that it was now 3:34 in the morning, they were probably all asleep. He'd been hoping that the noise of the fight would be enough to wake up someone, but there was still no response.

Summary
He closed his eyes tightly, shaking his head from side to side to try and physically push the memories out of his mind. His shoulder ached, and his damaged eye felt blurrier than usual.
He never once regretted pushing Leonardo out of the way, but every once in a while he found himself hoping the pain from the healing injuries would lessen… even just a little bit.
Raph had just wanted to help. He just wanted to try his best.
------------
A short story about the eldest brother doing his best to calm himself down after waking up from a nightmare in the middle of the night, and the repercussions of bottling up problems until they become overwhelming.Bookmarked by pinkshade

"Ow!" Mikey complained, lifting his leg and hopping around. "Dude, come on!"
"Did you stub your toe?" Leo trotted over.
"Something bit me." Mikey said, foot throbbing. He let Leo lower him into the grass.
"Stung you." Leo corrected, gently prying the little stringer out of the sole of his exposed foot. "Shoes, Michelangelo."

Summary
“Why’re you so worried about Donnie for, anyway?” Leo says with a pout, “You’re the one crying. Why won’t you tell us what’s wrong? You always make us tell you when something’s wrong. You’re not being fair, Raph.”
Raph does his best not to shrink in on himself.
“Sorry,” he mumbles, wrapping his arms around his knees and squeezing tight. He’s caused a problem. He didn’t want to cause a problem. He just… he just felt sad. He just wanted them to wish him happy birthday.
______________
It's a No Day in the Lair, and Raph just wants to get through it. His brothers makes it hard, though, but how can they help it? They're just little.
A Turtletots/Childhood story!

Tags
Summary
Raphael looks out to the demolition in front of him, wondering how long he can trick himself into thinking that the monstrous pink tentacles are actually the green pines in the forest way back then. When the worst monster they had to face was made out of ancient armor, all he needed to do was have faith in his brothers to catch him, active the ninpo that rested deep inside that reassured him that he wasn’t alone.
He was falling and his brothers were nowhere around to catch him.
‘I don’t want to die.’ A childlike cry comes from inside himself, the tears blur his vision back to reality where he is, in fact about to die.

Summary
“Raph, you’re bleeding.”
“...Oh.” He was? The snapper looked down, trying to get his eyes to focus. Sure enough, Donnie wasn’t lying- spreading out from underneath him, inch by slow inch, was a thin pool of red. Odd. He didn’t remember getting hurt. Why was he bleeding? Raph wasn’t too worried about the whole thing, but still…it was a bit of an issue, especially when he had a brother to comfort. “Huh. I didn’ notice.”Raphael is tired, but not too tired to comfort his little brother after a nightmare.
The situation reveals itself to be far more complicated.Bookmarked by pinkshade

Hold him tight (and never let go again) by ItzZaira

Summary
Mikey was... difficult.
"It comes with being a teenager." Raph tried to tell himself... but he knew it didn't. Donnie and Leo never acted like this. This... this wasn't normal.
"If you continue to baby him, he will never learn to be independent. Or worse... Just saying. You might end up... ya know. Chasing him away."
Oh, how Raph wished he had listened to Donnie.
Or
They used to be close. The closest. Until Raph's smothering became... too much. And they drifted apart.
Mikey never realized just how much it hurt that he and Raph drifted away, until he ends up with an unconcious Raphael, trapped in a collapsing building, and unable to reach his brothers.
Or
The episode we were robbed off. Canceled, much to my dismay. So I wrote it myself.

Summary
Raphael was trembling, already tearing up again. He was shaking with the force of his growl, and his eyes only seemed to sharpen when they locked with Splinter's.
Leonardo's snarling had been in-the-moment, defensive paranoia. Splinter was interchangeable from everyone else— all he had wanted was to get away, to hide, not to hurt. Raphael knew exactly who he was looking at, and he was furiously protective anyway.
He was not afraid to hurt him if he had to, to protect the boys that it had always been Splinter's duty to protect.
Splinter could not help but feel like he had done something irreconcilably wrong.
(or: the boys are hit by pollen that heightens their paranoia. to take care of them, splinter is forced to confront some uncomfortable truths about them; and more importantly, about himself.)
