#has four yokai dads

[somerandomdudelmao]

in cj’s defense, he did tell them *multiple times* he was hanging out with his uncle and was going to see him. to him, there’s not anyone else in the world that could possibly be, he has no family besides them. you could forgive him for not remembering he didn’t tell the younger versions, because in his mind, he totally did

In his mind they are kinda little versions of his “collective dad” and he keeps forgetting they don’t have the same knowledge ahaha

Also, for him, having four mutant turtles as his uncles is obvious every day thing. What do you mean not everyone live like that??

[mochiimadness]

hello!!! i love your works so far :DD!!

can i request the rise boys with an s/o who’s a human but has experience fighting with mutants? like s/o uses a scythe and can easily fight with the turtles :)

The Rise! Turtles with a human scythe wielding s/o!

Neon Leon

He thinks you're so cool!

Listen, he knows humans can go up against yokai's and mutant's

I mean, his dad and April are living proof of that-

But he genuinely can't help but be amazed when he sees you using a scythe of all things to go up against yokai's literally four times your size

Especially since you seemingly appeared out of nowhere to join the battle-

Seriously, can you portal or something???

He stops are stares as you easily knock a rather angry lizard yokai off balance, before sending them running with a slice of your wicked scythe

Your movement were so fluid,

A literal blink and you'll miss it type of speed

"Woah S/O! I didn't know you could do that-"

He'll exclaim, before ducking as you swipe at another angry yokai right behind him

"Think you could teach me how to do some of that??"

"Sure- we should probably finish this fight first though."

Oh right the fight-

He loves to spar with you

You're able to keep up with him quite easily!

And Leo is fast- like really fast

But even when he uses his portals to try to get near you-

Your scythe easily keeps him at bay.

He's absolutely in awe of you

Your blades clash together and Leo gives you this bright smile

"How in the world did I end up with someone so cool!?"

Don Tron

Donnie's impressed!

Though, he tries not to show it

Wielding a weapon like a scythe or bow staff automatically gives you cool points in his book

And you're incredibly proficient with your scythe too???

Donnie definitely want's to challenge you

"Your scythe versus my magnificent Bo-staff, I think the winner is pretty clear here."

What he thought would be an easy fight ended up being a nearly 20 minute long battle

You both were neck and neck

You were quick to block his attacks and dish out some deadly looking slices of your own

Afterwards, Donnie offers to modify your scythe for you!

"Think about it- it's already incredibly sharp and in your hands?? Borderline deadly. Now, hear me out, imagine if it had a chainsaw?"

Donnie pls.

"Or what if it was purple!?"

Donnie no-

Whether or not you let him add some "flair" to your scythe

He genuinely thinks you're cool

He doesn't even flinch when he sees you, his wonderful human s/o, go up against a super powered yokai

"Me? Worried?? No need to, I already called a mystic doctor."

"You mean a human doctor, right?"

"No??? That yokai obviously needs a mystic doctor."

He never doubted you for a second~

(That yokai you beat definitely needed that doctor- yikes)

Mystic Mike

He thinks you're amazing!!!

You're out here with no powers

No magic

No mutations

Just your normal human self and scythe

Fighting angry mutants and yokai like nothing!!!

Mikey thinks you're one of the strongest people he's ever known!

Aside from his family ofc

He loves to watch you fight

Has and will bring snacks to watch

Ofc, if you're ever in a pinch, Mikey will gladly swoop in to help you

He absolutely loves teaming up with you

Between his nun-chucks and your scythe-

No villain stands a chance

He even uses the blades in his nun-chucks from time to time to "match with you" ^^

Loves asking you to let him wrap his chains around the staff portion of your scythe so you can launch him at people

"It'll look so cool! C'mon just once???"

To be fair-

It does look and feel pretty dang cool!

Mikey knows you can handle your own in battle

He's seen it more than once

But if things ever get too rough

He's always there to lend a hand!

Big Red

Oh Raph...

Poor guy nearly faints every time you go into battle

Yes he knows humans can fight too

But you're not even using a mystic powered weapon like April does!

You could get seriously injured or worse!!

He always starts worrying over you

Especially when you both were just starting to get to know each other-

He didn't want to loose one of the few friends and humans that he knew!

He often will go into battle and cover you,

Taking hits or tackling opponents away

But you end up having a serious talk with him about this

"I know you're worried, but I can do this. I know how to fight-"

"I know, I know, I just get worried ya know?"

While he's still nervous about it,

He eventually starts hanging back to let you fight your own fights

And he comes to realize you are pretty great at what you do!

Your scythe is practically an extension of your own body,

And you easily handle opponents larger than you-

Both mystic and mutated!

"You're amazing!!"

Raph really comes to respect your strength and proficiency with your scythe.

He knows you can handle yourself

That still doesn't stop him from jumping in to help or defend you

Even when you may not necessarily need help

He still cares and worries about you

Doesn't want you to get hurt

Especially if he can help it.

"Er- sorry, I just jumped in again without thinkin'..."

I hope you enjoyed! Sorry for such a long wait

[block-swing-perry]

ok im unexpectedly sleepy but i keep seeing seperated aus for rottmnt and heres who i think should go to who based on the best possible outcomes for all children involved, the angst starts after they meet alright? anywho:

first up donnie, idk why we like to torture him with draxum WHEN HIS FATHER IS RIGHT THERE. yes i know science/alchemist combo hed be unstoppable but

a) his dad thinks hes the funniest

b) donnie really craves attention from splinter already in canon, you can play with splinter being more intentive with his son but not showing it in a way that donnie clocks

c) i think splinter was very overwhelmed with having four sons all the sudden on top of himself being mutated hed probably be able to handle the stress better and therefore provide in ways he was tried but ultimately failed in

d) i dont think the lair without donnie would exist the way it does in canon

e) friendship with april (since its implied or at least has been so fancanonized that those two were friends first)

raph, clearly cassandra or the foot clan. not much explanation other than hed be really fiercely trained, yet i can see him realistically retain all of his canon cuddlieness. theres an ongoing fight between him and the paper origami method, he respects it but stuffies for life man. also i think him and cassandra deserve to be besties <3

mikey i think obviously matches up with draxum.

a) as in canon and other shows, hes actually more skilled than everyone else so im gonna say its gonna be tough for him but hed see through draxum's training with ease

b) hes itty bitty and could and already has melted draxums heart+he was co-raised by the gargoles. he is a master of steering draxum down the right path. except maybe that path may be a cooler path, not a righteous path. mikey reminds me of my sister and i think my sister would be the one to end up on some kind of watch list

c) master of emotions, could see him getting his brothers back together. enough said

leo's a little harder. everyone puts him under big mama but i think hed honestly be really miserable underneath her. i dont think shed be a good mom at all, which is why i recommend señor hue-SIKE CAPITÁN PIEL

a) in canon leo is actually kinda sus in the morality department. he cut warren in half on instinct and then immediately claim it was because he was on his head, definitely aimed for the kill on draxum, etc. he would totally be fine being a pirate

b)connection to señor hueso thats not immediately direct, i think it better he makes the bone man warm up to him.

c) knows everything about everyone on a side of the yokai world that you wouldn't get from stationary big mama yet also keeps him outta sight of draxum.

d) leo in a pirate shirt honestly, i just really liked his outfit

e) would fit with his dramatics

[angelpuns]

I have a couple of rural au comics to post, but for now ( I'm away from my computer rn ) have some assorted sketches!!! I have so so so so many of these and there's so many things to talk about in them!!!

So Taro is a huge huge huge white dog that wandered onto the farm one day and Raph begged their dad to let them keep it!!! He became a beloved farm dog and is spoiled rotten <3

Donnie has always been very very smart and if he had been human, Yoshi would have sent him to school in Tokyo. But he's not. So Yoshi collects books for him to read and let's him tinker with things around the farm.

Yuichi and Leo have a long standing tradition of hunting frogs in the summer, especially when its super rainy. Leo has one more often, but as they:be gotten older Yuichi has started to catch up.

Some things about Baby Raph cause he doesn't get enough attention in these sketches: Yoshi found them in his house and Raph was already super super protective. He remembers the most about their mutation/where they came from but he can't make sense of it for the most part :(. He doesn't bother anyone else with it but when they were little would occasionally have nightmares and crawl into bed with Yoshi. He didn't cry for the entire duration of them living on their own - in fact he didn't cry until Leo and Donnie got sick and Yoshi had to take care of them.

Leo and Donnie were both very very fussy children and were constantly sick as well. Its hard being a dad to four turtles and having to drag all of them to the nearest yokai village - which is actually how he FOUND the yokai village! The twins were sick again and he was desperate, he ended up finding the village and the local doctor helped him ( despite the entire village's disdain for humans )

I'll be posting about this all day cause I've been waiting for a break from the Kid Leo Au JUST SO I CAN TALK ABOUT THIS OTHER AU

I love Kid Leo Au ofc but the Rural au combines two of my biggest interests and has a lot of research that goes into it!!!

Kid Leo Au = healing my inner child or whatever

Rural au = I get to do research :D

I'll add a link to the rural au master post later, once I get back to my computer :3 ( you can also read more about it through the rural au tag )

[bluebeaniefrog]

So I have fallen ass-backwards into (back into?) The TMNT fandom and had the idea for a ROTTMNT x TMNT!2012 fic hit me like a rubber chicken. All I've got so far is that 2012 turts show up in Rise!verse bc reasons and Rise end up just pranking the shit out of them. Because they were raised by an actor, and they're little shits. They would absolutely do this.

Inspired by the uniquely Australian urge to mess with people for no reason, and for other Aussies to join in on the act, no questions asked.

What I have so far:

2 year after Krang

Rise!folks = Rise!Raph 19, Rise!Donnie & Rise!Leo 18, Rise!Mikey 17, Casey Jr 18

Rise!turts all look WAY older than their actual age, bc Rise were created to be supersoldiers. you can't tell me that Draxum didn't fiddle with their DNA to make them more dangerous/efficient/etc.

The massive growth spurt they all had means they're all like a foot taller than they were during the movie.

This does not help poor Casey Jr (who goes by CJ, purely to make things easier)

He kept accidentally calling Leo "dad", to the point where Leo started to respond to it

This did not help CJ.

CJ ended up getting a concealment broach, and uses it to make himself look like a mutant turtle.

When asked why, he says "because" (he wanted to fit in, and topside NY still freaks him out too much.)

Hey, trauma isn't logical

He keeps his hair as a turt though, which weirded everyone but Leo out until they got used to it.

And four fingers instead of three (purely so he knows which one to flip people off with)

When he uses the broach, he can make himself look any age he wants. Usually, he chooses anywhere between the ages of 8–12.

This was originally an accident, but Mikey encouraged it, as well as acting his apparent age while cloaked, as a healing method and a way of reclaiming his childhood.

They eventually figure out that CJ is kind of flipping between voluntary and involuntary age regression

Leo starts actually being a father to CJ while he's regressed and he absolutely thrives.

Donnie managed to recover Shelldon's memory drive from the wreckage post Shredder

He also started kind-of-but-not-really-more-like-less-than-half sharing his lab with Draxum after the yokai starts living with them full time

Thus meaning that sometimes things (like leftover ooze) might be left lying around

Unrelated, Draxum found a three-legged turtle hatchling and decided to keep it as a pet

Everyone else finds it weird, but it's not an issue

Until the turtle somehow manages to get into Donnie's lab, EAT Shelldon's memory chip  and then trip into a bowl of ooze.

Everyone FREAKS THE FUCK OUT because there's now ANOTHER MUTANT TURTLE DRAXUM WTF!

ALSO WHY TF WAS THERE A BOWL FULL OF OOZE????? JUST LYING AROUND??????

They manage to somewhat calm down, and then the new turtle tot speaks in a kiddy version of Shelldon's voice, and calls Donnie "Dada".

Cue the second freakout in as many minutes.

So now Donnie has a kid as well.

They figure out that Shelldon is now the equivalent to a two-and-a-half year old toddler.

Splinter doesn't know how to feel

He technically has grandkids now, but his kids are still kids!

Also it's Draxum's fault (again) so he doesn't know whether to thank him or throttle him

2012!verse turts appear bc reasons

They are all 16 (set early-like/s2-ish)

Rise peeps all have a standing agreement to prank the living daylights out of any alternates they come across.

They unanimously decide to tell 2012 that they are all 10 years older than they actually are, and to leave out the fact that CJ and Shelldon are not actually their biological children.

Coincidentally, Mikey had been practising his hyper-realism and special effects make-up skills for his online art degree that morning, and used Donnies shell as the canvas.

So now Donnie's shell now looks like one big burn scar

They very much use this to their advantage. *Cue evil laughter*

Draxum shows up in the middle of them all trying to figure out what to call each other

2012 turts freak the fuck out when Rise!Mikey calls him "dad"

12!Mikey: "wow this really IS an alternate universe your Slpinter isn't even a rat!" Rise!Mikey: What no this is Draxum. Splinters our other dad."

Cue yet another freakout from the 2012 folks.

Draxum sees them and goes "another lot of turtles? Free reign to fuck with them and be the dramatic ass bitch that I am? Count me the fuck in" and goes absolutely ham

CJ comes in uncloaked but regressed, calling Leo "dad"

12turts freak out (12!Leo: "I'm a DAD????? ....wait isn't that CASEY WTFFFF") while Leo puts his dad voice on and reminds CJ to "take off" (read: put on) his cloaking broach

CJ does so.

Yet another freakout from the inter-dimensional peanut gallery

Shelldon starts crying and Donnie goes to grab him (praising his dramatic timing as he does so)

Again: freakout (12!Donnie: "I'M a dad??????")

(Basically the entire fic is just 2012 turts freaking out over Riseverse's ..... everything)

April and Cassandra are in on it, of course

They decide to be little shits and show up in their foot clan uniforms

*Cue 2012 freaking out for the billionth time*

Then Splinter shows up, tells them to shut up, sit down, and talk (ie give their life story)

Or in Rise's case, "life story"

Basically a fic where Riseverse just bullshit the living daylights out of the 2012 turtles. Whether or not the truth comes out, I haven't figured out yet. Either way, 2012!turtles spend the entire time freaking out and go back to their dimension questioning everything ever.

I've got so many ideas I'd probably have to make a separate fic purely for worldbuilding my Rise!AU. Thing is, I actually really want to write this fic, but have no idea where to start. Any tips or tricks to get started, or even someone to bounce ideas off of would be a godsend.

[faetaiity]

Hi! I would like to know more about your Dark Rottmnt Au! What do they look like? What are Splinter & the villains like in this au? I'm really invested into this!

YEAHHHHHHHHH OKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Let's start with splinter and the Villains that retain their "evilness"

Splinter isn't a good guy, In this AU he's spiteful, vengeful, aggressive, manipulative, and basically Draxum, Big Mama's, and the foot clan's ally and business partner

Splinter isn't close to the Turtles, who were mostly under Draxum's care until they were able to become assassins, then they started to live and co-exist with Splinter

In this AU, Splinter isn't really seen as a dad, He's more of a Boss and Handler, but sadly, Him and Draxum are the closest thing they have to parental figures

The Foot clan, as well as restoring the dark armor, are renowned as Thieves, Bounty Hunters, Drug dealers, and Higher members are known to act as extra bodyguards, hosts, and Hired Thieves for Big Mama.

Draxum is Basically the same, except much more Murderous, He trained the Turtles in Ninjutsu and various other Martial arts (Specifically Krav Maga, which is used to severely injure or kill opponents)

Big Mama is also the same, except she eagerly uses humans as 'Entertainment' in the Battle Nexus, Placing them in unfair fights against yokai and mutant fighters.

Now for the Mutant villains

They're still kind of assholes, but it's only reserved for the Turtles, Splinter, Big Mama, Draxum, and whoever associates/agrees with them.

They take Shifts in four to six so they can defend New York

Repo's cat is calmer in this AU too, taught to defend their main Base, which is the Repo yard as it's the best possible base, as well as those who currently inhabit the yard (Which can include Humans on the Turtles hit list)

In the AU, they all have cloaking brooches, which those who weren't in the night shift use during the day to keep an eye out for the turtles or the Foot clan

If the reader is currently being stalked by the turtles (Romantic, platonic, or assassination related.), they might get safety in the Repo Yard

The only one who stays on base 24/7 is Mantis due to his weaknesses as a bug mutant (and because of the Cat Mantis only listening to him)

The Turtles have various scars from the Mutants (Ex: Leo has a cracked Plastron from Meat Sweat's hammer bs, I forgot wtf it's called lmao)

But the mutants WILL keep you safe, worst-case scenario, they take you out into the woods so todd can keep you safe. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ YEAHHHHHH I LOVE RAMBLING ABOUT THE VILLAINS JKHRGKREJERKGJJK

[awkwardlyfangirly]

HI TGIS IS MY FIRST REQUEST EVER SO YEA

MAYBE A GN READER THATS FRIENDS WITH THE TURTLES BUT HAS MORE A CONNECTION WITH LEO AND THE READER GETS ATTACKED BY SOME CRIMINALS AND LEO SAMES THEM AND ENDED UP DOING THE SPIDER-MAN KISS AND THAT WOULD BE LIKE THEIR FIRST KISS TOGETHER OMFG

I AM SO HONORED TO BE YOUR FIRST REQUEST EVER

hope u enjoy! :)

/////////////

rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles fanfiction ~ Leonardo x female reader ~ tw/cw: reader gets somewhat unsuccessfully mugged in an alley lol

/////////////

You were normal, right?

Like, you didn’t have a lot of friends. That was normal.

And you were a senior in high school. That was also normal.

You lived in an apartment with your dad, and you had two older sisters who were studying abroad, and you had a hamster named Oreo Cupcake, and you had a lot of posters on your walls. Normal.

You were normal, right? Right??

You’d spent so, so many years of your life desperately wanting to not be normal. Just wanting something, anything, to happen to you. Just wanting to stand out.

And look at you now. Spending so much of your time hanging upside-down off your bed, blasting music into your eardrums at a volume that will probably cause early hearing loss, staring at the texts pinging into your phone and just wishing that your life was anything resembling normal.

Because the truth of the matter was that you were not normal. Not at all.

Your few friends were four color-coordinated human/turtle mutant ninjas who lived in the sewers, blew up your phone with the weirdest texts you’d ever be able to imagine, and annoyed the chicken nuggets out of you. They wouldn’t be normal even if they didn’t live in the sewers or weren’t, you know, mutant human/turtle ninjas. Also April, who was technically “normal,” but lived the same decidedly un-normal existence as you.

Not normal. You weren’t normal.

You hung out in the sewers most of the time with your ninja turtle friends and sometimes encountered other weird things like a raging celebrity chef turned pig mutant who tried to kill you or a raging news anchor turned worm mutant who tried to kill you or a sweet and bubbly random dude turned capybara mutant who constantly provided you with the best lemonade you’d ever had and --

and yeah. Not normal.

Which is why you felt… decidedly unsurprised when you found yourself being backed against a wall by a pair of humanlike foxes -- or foxlike humans -- in a dark alleyway. Unsurprised; just disappointed. You knew better than this. You shouldn’t be getting mugged.

“I don’t want trouble,” you said. Your eyelids were so heavy. You’d just finished the closing shift at work; you’d been getting your hands cracked and calloused with mop and broom handles for the past thirty minutes. You just wanted to get home and put on Phineas and Ferb and sleep.

The yokai or mutant or whatever standing on the left smiled, his teeth vicious and bright in the artificial moonlight of the city. “Should’ve thought of that before you bothered to come here wearing that.” He reached out with a sharp, curved claw to hook the chain around your neck, scratching your skin a bit.

“Okay,” you said.

He yanked, sudden and firm. The necklace came off in his paws.

You flinched.

You were trusting beyond trust that they wouldn’t hurt you -- that they’d take the necklace and go -- but the second yokai or mutant or whatever put a paw on his shoulder.

“Hey,” she said. “Hey. Look at that.”

“At what?”

And she gestured at the Hamato clan symbol you wore around one wrist.

“You know where we’ve seen that before?”

“No,” the first yokai or mutant or whatever said, sounding irritated. “What are you --”

And the second one leaned in to whisper into his ear.

You watched his eyes widen and his ears perk up.

“You’re kidding,” he whistled. “You’re kidding. So you’re a Hamato, kid?”

Okay. That was trouble.

Guess Phineas and Ferb and the sweet, sweet embrace of unconsciousness would have to wait a little while.

The yokai or mutants or whatever -- you were leaning towards ‘yokai,’ seeing as they’d recognized the Hamato symbol -- had made you press your arms above your head, against the wall. But you slowly shifted your fingers until you could depress the panic button.

There were two gentle pulses against your fingers -- the panic button silently letting you know that it had transmitted your signal.

You stared at the sickly sweet grins spreading across the faces of your attackers and your throat clenched tight.

Hurry, you begged. Hurry.

There were four Hamato boys. Raph, Donnie, Leo, and Mikey. Currently all in a giant pile in the living room, biting and kicking, while Splinter screamed at them to settle down, he couldn’t hear his TV show. SETTLE DOWN. And finally he had to step in and slap them all in the face with his hairless pink tail, and even then, Leo and Donnie were still glowering at each other.

Splinter sighed, deeply, and pressed his fingers against the bridge of his nose. “Boys --”

And then the panic signal activated.

It alerted each of the brothers, pulsing against their wrists until they tapped it twice. It was Y/n’s signal.

Leo felt his heart drop.

It was Y/n’s signal.

“Where is she?” he said, quickly, as the brothers gathered around Donnie to stare at the map on his armband. All thought of the last minute’s tussle was out of everyone’s mind. The only thought was her.

Donnie moved his fingers to enlarge the map. “Right there,” he said, tapping at her blinking icon. “Let’s go.”

You were still standing in the same spot, pressed up against the wall, as the yokai argued about what they should do with you.

“Big Mama,” one of them was saying, without stopping, over and over and over again. “Big Mama. Big Mama. Big Mama. Big Mama.”

The other kept talking over her, loudly. “You know how Big Mama is. She’ll steal us for the games. We won’t have a choice. The Foot Clan will want her. The Foot Clan hates the Hamato. The Foot Clan doesn’t run a bloody battle to the death that they will inevitably trick us into.”

“Big Mama,” the other kept saying, louder and louder. “Big Mama. Big Mama.”

You tried to scoot towards the opening of the alley. They didn’t seem to notice; they were so wrapped up in their own argument. Closer. And closer. And closer. Just a few more feet --

“Hey,” one of the foxes said, and you felt its claws close around your shoulder. Your heart leapt into your mouth and you stopped breathing for a moment. It dragged you back into the alley.

The other yokai sighed and admitted defeat.

“Fine,” she huffed. “Fine. You’re right. Big Mama is too dangerous to deal with. We go to the Foot Clan.”

Her brother chirped happily.

“You heard her,” he growled into your ear, the sudden tone shift startling you. “We’re going to the Foot Clan. Come on. Let’s go.”

The Foot Clan. April was always more eager to tag along on the action than you were; she and the boys had told you all about them. You’d only encountered them twice, yourself. And you weren’t eager to encounter them again.

Please hurry, you begged again. Please hurry.

And you didn’t move your feet fast enough for the foxes; they shoved you forward, roughly, and your heart rose into your mouth again. Propelled itself up through your throat. You choked on it for a second, gasping for air.

Please hurry.

They’d received the message, you knew. First there were the two pulses letting you know that your signal had transmitted -- and then three more pulses after a few seconds, letting you know that they’d actively received and acknowledged your signal. They were on the way. They could track you if you were moved anywhere. You would be fine. You would be fine.

For a moment, you wished you were April instead -- she was so strong, so full of life and fire. She’d have both of the yokai on the ground, sobbing, without raising a single finger. And then you felt bad for wishing April was here, instead of you.

Please. Please hurry.

They had to. They had to. You’d never used your panic button before, but you couldn’t imagine it would take them too long to respond. Especially since you were on the surface, on the streets of New York -- not too hard to track, probably. Hopefully.

Please.

You didn’t have many friends. But these friends were like your flesh and blood. You knew -- without even having to think about it -- that you’d die for them. Again and again. You’d give up anything for any single one of them -- go without food or water or sleep for days -- face your darkest fears and the darkest parts of yourself. Just for them.

And they’d do the same for you.

It was why you wore the Hamato insignia on your wrist: a symbol marking you as one of their own, part of their family. You were there for one another, always; protecting one another, always.

They’d be here. They’d be here.

The foxes cackled again -- their laughs were chilling, echoing sharply through the warm night air -- and the one grabbed you, slinging you over his shoulder. You went limp. Every muscle in your body went completely limp, immediately.

You held your breath.

“Wait,” the other one said. “The Hamato clan -- wouldn’t they want her back?”

“There are still Hamato??”

“You’re so dumb.” His sister rolled her eyes. “Yes, there are still Hamato. Remember? Those turtles?”

“Ohhh, yeah!”

“I bet you they’d pay a ransom beyond all ransoms.”

“I trust the Foot Clan more than I trust those Hamatos, though,” her brother mused, and before she could reply, one of Those Hamatos had landed with a THUD on the fire escape above him.

“Hey!” it said. “That really hurt my feelings!”

You tried to twist your head to see what was going on -- but before you could, a hand grabbed the back of your shirt, and you were yanked backward, off of the yokai’s shoulder and into the security of the roof above.

“You good??” Leo screamed twice in your ear before you finally came back to yourself and coughed.

“Yeah, yeah, I’m okay, I’m okay --” you started, and then he wrapped you tight in his arms.

“You sure??”

“Yes,” you gasped, as he crushed the lungs out of you.

“I was so worried!! You’ve never set off your panic button before!”

“I’ve never been mugged by two kidnappy yokai before!!”

“Fair point,” he admitted, and squeezed you close again.

You sank your head into his shoulder.

He was firm, and warm, and his shell was solid and sturdy under your shaking hands. A breath in -- and then you started to sob.

He rocked you slightly back and forth. “It’s okay. It’s okay. I’m just glad you’re alive, alright?”

You nodded, still sobbing, and he rubbed the back of your head with one hand and pressed his face into your hair.

“I’m sorry,” you mumbled. “Sorry I’m so dramatic. It just --”

“Not too dramatic,” he said. “It’s okay. You’re okay.”

He portaled the two of you back down to the floor and the other brothers gathered around you as Leo climbed back up to the fire escape, dangling his feet and keeping his eyes on you. They asked you if you were alright, and reassured you that they were taking the yokai to the appropriate authorities. You told them you were alright. You thanked them.

“I’ll help walk you home,” Mikey offered.

“I’ll do it,” Leo called, from the fire escape.

“I don’t really --”

“I’ll do it,” Leo said again. “I got it, really.”

And so they left. Leaving the two of you alone.

“I’ll help get you home,” Leo said. “Don’t worry.”

He’d hung himself backwards off of the fire escape, his head dangling close to yours as you turned towards him.

“Thank you,” you told him. “I appreciate it.”

His entire face lit up when he smiled.

“Anything for you,” he said, softly.

Now, all four of the Hamato boys were four-fifths of your best friends in the world. But Leo -- ? Leo was your favorite.

You didn’t know what it was -- “soulmates,” perhaps? -- but the two of you had clicked from the moment you met. You could tell him anything, and he would listen; and vice versa. You knew his hugs like the back of your hand, and his warmth was always a comforting presence next to you when neither of you could sleep and you ended up at each other’s houses, idling away the time until you dozed off together. You loved all of the boys, but you loved Leo the most.

You’d never tried to kiss him, and he’d never tried to kiss you. You’d never discussed taking your relationship to that stage. You were just there for each other; the best of best friends; forever and ever.

But he was hanging upside down in front of you and staring at your lips.

That seemed like invitation enough.

You stepped a bit closer to him and placed your palms on his cheeks and started to lean in, your heart pounding so hard that it seemed absolutely definite that he could feel it in the pressure of your hands.

He didn’t say anything. He just looked at you. His eyes moving from your eyes, to your lips, and back.

He didn’t pull away. He didn’t try to right himself. He just dangled there, and stared.

And then he reached out his own hand, relying on his legs to keep him in place -- and he touched your own cheek, his thumb gently caressing your lips. His hand pulled you a little closer --

and then, contact.

Contact.

Your lips on his, or his on yours, who knew? Did it matter?? It didn’t matter to you. Nothing mattered to you, suddenly. You couldn’t understand anything except the soft firm gentle warmth of his lips and the way they moved against yours.

You gasped for breath, your mouths still together, and he kissed you again, and again, humming against your lips as you gulped in your shared air.

You felt his heartrate speeding up, right where your fingers met the junction of his jaw with his throat. You broke your lips away from his and kissed at his pulse.

“I like this,” he mumbled, putting both of his hands on both sides of your head, cupping your jawline. “I like kissing you.”

And you giggled and rested your forehead on his chin. He took the opportunity to kiss at your own heartbeat, fast and giddy in your neck.

“I like kissing you too,” you whispered, and he took one of your hands in his and brought the fingernails to his lips.

It was a long, long while before he finally walked you back home.

[misteria247]

Personal Tmnt/Rottmnt aus that I've personally got going on and a brief summary of them:

Universal Collision- The godfather. Universal Collision is a crossover between the 12 series and the Rise series. It's basically the boys learning to get along and somewhere down the line become a family of sorts. As well as learning about each other and fighting a foe that's lurking in the shadows.

Turtles Forever Crossover- The grandchild of Universal Collision in a way. Basically this au exists in the Universal Collision timeline, yet it's its own little thing. In an attempt to get the Rise boys home, the group of turtles, humans and their rat and goat dads end up accidentally in the 03 lair. There they meet others such as the 87 group, 03 gang, 07 gang, Bayverse group, Ronin Mikey and Future Rise Leo and Future Rise Mikey. It's basically just shenanigans with a side of angst. This au also interacts with other people's aus given that it's a huge multiverse thing. (Example of this being @lieutenantbiscute's Shellshock au. Basically it's free game for anyone with an au).

12 Turtle Tot Leo- Another grandchild of Universal Collision, however the 12 gang is in the Rise verse, again a thing all of it's own. During a battle with a yokai witch, Leonardo (12 Leo), ends up taking a hit of mystics and gets deaged back to two or three years old. It's basically the 12 gang and Rise cast taking care of Leonardo while he's small. Yes this includes villains and certain yokai skeletons.

Oroku Siblings- A separate au all together. This one is a separated Leo one from the 12 series. It was mainly inspired by how similar Leo can get to the Shredder and one question. "What would Leo be like if he'd been raised by the Shredder alongside Karai?" The answer is basically a morally grey Leo and his unbreakable bond with his beloved older sister. Leo in this au was separated from Splinter and his brothers during a Kranng ambush. At the age of four he was found washed up by Karai and the rest is history.

Ancient Japan's History- Also a separate au that takes place in the 12 verse and also a newer one. This one is a separation but with all the boys being raised, completely unaware of one another's existence save for Mikey who's a yokai. It takes place in the realm of Usagi Yojimbo's world of ancient Japan. The boys all have different backgrounds entirely. Mikey is a yokai who knows more than he let's on and is the main reason that he and his brothers learn about one another. Raph is a ronin ninja who travels all over Japan doing odd jobs ranging from assassinations to body work. Donnie is an inventor of a small village who has taken over the shop of his departed guardian who was the original inventor. And Leo is a monk who's strong in spiritual abilities and is known to be one of the best at banishing and exorcising demons and yokai. When an ancient demon known as the Shredder is brought back into the world, the boys band together in search for a mysterious being known as Splinter who had disappeared without a trace eons ago.

okay so let's talk rise separated!au

just gonna outline mine here in case i never get around to drawing it (there's a fic up here though).

general note that i stick close to the the tone of the show; my vision of this thing is essentially a four-way custody battle with a demon thrown in for spice

-background to cover: my idea of the story between draxum, big mama and splinter is a little different. draxum and yoshi have more of a prior relationship, and yoshi came to the hidden city with big mama willingly bc the foot were dogging him at the time (he came to resent the battle nexus, though, which was when he began to gravitate more towards draxum.)

-the night the turtles were mutated, draxum was intercepted by big mama (who never trusted draxum around yoshi) and the foot (who finally caught up to yoshi). chaos ensues, the lab burns, and in the confusion each party leaves with a turtle apiece. draxum has donnie, yoshi has leo, the foot has mikey and big mama has raph. yoshi is presumed dead (missing in the foot's case, they're used to hamatos disappearing), and all parties believe they have the only turtle who survived.

-draxum and big mama, both suffering from hard-spun grief about their man going up in flames, are softened to their turtles. big mama spoils the FUCK out of raph, letting him get out his pent-up energy & love of wrestling as an occasional battle nexus fighter. draxum’s resolve to use donnie as a weapon wanes the more he realizes this is a child he’s got on his hands, and donnie grows up to be his beloved lab assistant-slash-partner in crime-slash-engineer

-the foot duo initially intended to only raise mikey so shredder could consume his soul, but as mikey became more involved in the foot they started banking a lot harder on finding splinter. as far as mikey knows, he and big sister casey are gonna be the bosses of the foot clan after their dads retire

-splinter, feeling the loss of three sons, gets his ass in gear a little quicker on training leo in the way of the hamato clan. he still did a long stint as an emotionally absent dad, though, prompting leo to take to the streets. he met april along the way, who splints imprinted on HARD; she's getting training too and splints views her as a daughter

-april gradually meets all the turtles and is the one to introduce them. they're hanging out by the start of the show, but donnie, mikey and raph keep the friendship from their parents (draxum and big mama have bad blood and the foot clan has to be kept a secret)

-leo starts bringing the mad dogs to the cave for hangouts, and it takes a borderline embarrassing amount of time for splints to realize that his three presumed-dead sons have been adding all kinds of shit onto his house (like donnie's got half a backup lab down by the time splints walks in on them)

-splinter recognizes them and reunion ensues, but the separated boys are skeptical about splints' side of the story. they want to ask their parents, but splints swears them to secrecy; no one can know he's still alive

-that lasts all of two weeks because draxum, big mama and the foot duo are getting suspicious about their sons disappearing all the time. this naturally culminates in mama, draxum and splints' dirty laundry getting aired, the foot kicking into high gear, april smashing a lot of heads, draxum & splints being pissed that their kids have been going topside, and at least three shoutings of "your kid?? YOUR KID????"

-the parents all have their own reasons for wanting the turtles in one place: the foot and draxum have their vendettas, splints wants his sons to live normal people lives and big mama wants them to live normal yokai lives (also she'd probably win that court battle on account of having the resources to care for them)

-the turtles just think it's cool they're all related (donnie is more on the fence than the rest about having siblings but still)

-i have a strong mental image of the custody battle turning into an actual battle, like a formal one in the battle nexus, and their kids have to break them up

-somehow in all this the shredder plotline gets started, so now draxum, big mama and splints are at least united in not wanting shredder to get out if nothing else. mikey learns shredder's full backstory and is REALLY holding out hope that the foot lieutenant and foot brute will see the light, but the best he can hope for is casey.

-leo is the hamato clan expert, mikey is the shredder expert, raph is the fighting expert, donnie is the hidden city expert, april is the human world expert and casey is the violence expert. together they are six sixths of a whole idiot

-donnie's flavor of mad scientist also includes alchemy (though he insists mechanics are better); he named one of those giant automaton things fibonacci. he’s slightly humanphobic from growing up with draxum, but has been going topside for years and it’s mostly relegated to jokes

-big mama absolutely tries to buy the "turtle-boos"' love; on the other side of the spectrum the foot have probably propped a box up on a stick over a pizza before

-leo is like, a degree more responsible from dealing with a depressed parent alone; he's really defensive of splints even though internally there's a lot of conflict there

-raph is slightly naive re: the function of the battle nexus and in general is prone to taking risks

-shredder's still there. it's okay. it's fine. it's okay. it's okay.

[sskurwysyn]

Context for the left one: Good dad Draxum AU! One lucky day, turtle tot Leo stumbled across a pirate ship chilling in the port.

He instantly climbed on the deck (mostly out of curiosity and bc he was bored) and he sneaked around until he has been found out by Captain Piel (who instantly threw him out cuz lets be real a pirate ship isn't the most child friendly place)

But Leo started coming back every few days and sneaking back on the ship. The crew kinda grew a liking to him and they eventually gave up on kicking him out.

They tried to talk to him about his home and parents but Leo avoided all the questions, which made Piel come to the conclusion that the boy must have a hard situation at home, so the crew let him vibe.

Until one day Piel came out not to one tot, but to four. The kids explained that they are hiding away from their dad and Leo got the idea to hide them all on the SS Queen Alexis, since theres no way he'll come looking for them there.

When the skin yokai learned that they are hiding because their dad was experimenting on them, and he heard that the dad in question was actually Baron Draxum (THE Baron Draxum, warrior alchemist that's very influential and a bit fucked up according to witnesses) Piel told them to come over as much as they want to. He didn't want to outright confront Draxum, but he also wanted to make sure that the tots had a safe space to go to.

For the record Draxum is NOT abusing them (this au is called good dad draxum for a reason), but at this point in the story he still tries to see them as weapons. He would never hurt them during the experiments, but they are unpleasant and freak the tots out (think about it as a visit at the dentist kinda unpleasant)

Piel and Draxum finally had a confrontation and explained everything to each other, but even after learning that the kids were never actually abused, he was still very wary of the sheep yokai and at that point he has grown too attached to the tots either way, so the uncle position stayed.

[obsidiancreates]

Out Of The Shadows and Into The Neon (Part 3)

Donnie Jr chews on an old sparkplug as Donald talks with Draxum.

"Say that four times fast," Leon jokes, laying on Donald's cot to the side and holding his son above him. Leo Jr giggles, waving his stubby little arms and legs. Leon chuckles at the baby noises. "You can try it when you're older."

"But what do you mean they aren't yokai or mutants?" Donald says to Draxum, gesturing at Leon to shut up.

"They are mutants, but it wasn't my ooze that made them."

"So what did?"

"I don't know. It's a chemical composition I've never seen before."

"That means you guys are really special," Angelo gushes, setting Mikey Jr down by Donnie Jr. Mikey immediately goes to grab Donnie's sparkplug, and Donnie cries as it's knocked out of his grasp. Donald doesn't look, engrossed in glaring at Draxum over the lack of satisfying answers but one of his mechanical arms comes out and grabs the plug before it falls and gives it back to the tot. Donnie laughs-squeals happily as the arm pats him on the head.

"Maybe someone found an oozesquito and messed with it," Raphie suggests, dangling a bit of string in front of Raph Jr's face as the tot tries to grab and eat it. "Or uh, four of them."

Draxum sighs, rubbing his eyes. "The tests all suggest they were born this way."

"Oh, so just one then!"

"That's not good either, Raph." Donald picks up Donnie and cradles him. "And why would they be abandoned in an alley? I thought mutant sanctuaries were getting more common."

"We can make something to track down their birth parent," Draxum says, frowning, "But that might mean giving them up. If you guys want to continue with the whole 'heroes' thing, anyway. I say we just keep them no matter what."

The four new dads share a look. Leon's and Raphie's eyes go white with a faint glow for a second, a quick mind-meld discussion-

Leon sighs. "We owe it to them to check, don't we?" He looks up at Leo Jr and smiles softly. "But either way, I promise you boys will have a family. Okay?"

Leo Jr babbles, reaching for Leon. The baby smiles, all gums and love.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"So..." Raphie blinks as they all stare into the apartment a week later. "I guess we're keeping them?"

It's really a rhetorical question, because the mystic DNA tracker has lead them to a human's apartment with a single, completely normal, turtle. And with one DNA test in the tracker's built-in tester... it's a confirmation. That normal turtle, somehow, is their tots' mother.

"Well, unmarked cardboard box, left in an alley, no food or water left with them," Donald lists off, putting up a finger for each item, "Yup, I'd say that human didn't want them."

"But-but how?" Leon holds the sides of his head. "That's not- I thought-"

"Let's not look a gift horse in the mouth," Splints says happily, already shimmying his way back up to the roof. "We get to keep my grandsons!"

"But-!" Leon looks to his twin, throwing his arms out to the window. "Come on! This is weird even for our lives!"

"I agree completely, my dear brother," Donald says with a nod, "Which is why I'll be taking a sample of DNA from that turtle to give to Draxum. But I have a feeling we won't be getting many answers from it. And in that case, there's only one thing to do."

Leon and Donald share a serious look, and then both nod. They speak in unison.

"We get those tots some toys."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Donald scoops Donnie Jr up with one hand, the tiny tot's shell easily fitting into his palm. True, as he's gotten older he's gotten rather large, to put it mildly, but still. His son is small.

His son, and his sons brothers, look very different to him and his own brothers. Draxum wasn't able to tell what species they are, though their mother looked to be some sort of terrapin. Donnie Jr's shell is completely rounded, no curve in towards the bottom of the spine. His hands and feet are large, much more reminiscent of a regular turtle's in terms of proportion. His little feet are completely circular, which while adorable, is probably going to make sneaking around a lot harder. And making shoes an impossibility.

He tickles the bottom of Donnie Jr's foot and Donnie Jr squeals with laughter. Well, the nerves work as they should. And that laugh melts his heart, so that also works as it should.

Donald pulls the baby holder out of it's box and clips it on. Donnie is surprisingly good as Donald gets him into the little holder, and the tot just laughs again as he hangs from Donald's chest. Perfect.

"This-" Donald says, holding up some blueprints, "-is going to be your brother someday. I was finally able to patch the corrupted code from the recovered drives."

The prints show a little turtle-shaped drone, and a second set show a small, stout body with the same head design. "Any preference for his main form? I'm partial to the drone-"

Donnie screams and reaches out, so Donald leans closer, and the tot slaps one little hand on the stout body design. And-

And whimpers.

"Hey." Donald straightens back up, trying to keep his voice soft. "Why does Shelldon upset you?"

Donnie whines again and kicks his little legs, taking in a big breath-

"Oh, no-"

And wails.

"Ah! Please, stop making that noise!" Donald quickly takes his son out of the holder and holds him up to examine him. "No injuries, diaper is clean, we just fed you-"

Donnie wails and sobs some more, and Donald hears an echoing fit start up from Angelo's room. Then from Raphie's, and then from Leon's.

"You've caused a chain reaction!" Donald cradles his son close and bounces a little, patting his son's back as gently as he can while internally panicking. "Um, will a lullaby help? Rock-a-bye Donnie, at the lair's top, when the sub cars ride the whole lair will rock-"

Angelo bursts into the room, eyes bloodshot and a wailing Mikey held in one arm. "Doooonie?" Angelo says, eye twitching and smile forced, "Can you make your boy quiet down already?!"

"Yelling will only make him more upset!" Donald nods at his blueprints. "Hide those, they're what set him off!"

"What?!" Angelo stalks over and sets Mikey down on the desk, looking at the plans and flipping them over. "Your Shelldon plans made him cry?!"

"I don't know why, but yes!"

Mikey keeps wailing, Donnie keeps wailing, Mikey makes grabby-hands and his little all-pupil eyes focus on-

Donald quickly shifts his hold. "Give me Mikey!"

"Wh-"

"Do it!"

Angelo hands Mikey over, and Mikey immediately wiggles closer to Donnie and snuggles against him. After a few moments the sobbing and screaming beings to calm, and calm, down to whimpers and them gasps and then...

Soft breathing. They're asleep.

"As adorable as this is," Angelo says, snapping a picture quickly, "I am tired, man!"

"I'll be awake longer." Clearly, the Shelldon plans are... delayed, so he'll have to find something new to work on with Donnie. Maybe something more basic... Leo Jr did drool all over their toaster earlier, so maybe they can build a new one together.

He'll... probably make Shelldon the drone again. Hopefully that will... sit better with his son.

"You drop Mikey off back in my room before you fall asleep, got it?" Angelo pats Donnie on the shoulder as he leaves. Leo Jr and Raph Jr have quieted down out there, so at least it's quiet again.

Donnie uses his robotic arms for the rest of the night, cradling the tiny close close to his chest.

For such little things... they're full of a lot of mysteries.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Hey, that's how we got these two to calm down!" Raphie is mindful of not talking with his hands as Raph determinedly sucks down his bottle. Any disturbance to his meal and he'll throw a massive tantrum, so Raphie must stay very still.

"As soon as we put them together they calmed down." Leon hands Leo a little tongue depressor, and Leo begins waving it around with wide eyes. His lack of coordinator is adorable enough to make Leon tear up a little. It's been less than a month and he would die for this little guy. For all four of them.

"Awww, they really do take after their dads," April teases. "Lemme guess, Raph Jr was the big spoon?"

"Actually, Leo was." Raphie relaxes in relief when Raph Jr finally releases the bottle. He burps the baby carefully, and then sets him on his lap and start bouncing him up and down.

"Because my son is bigger," Leon points out with a smug smirk. "Because he's a champion."

"Speaking of," Cass says, tilting her glass of wine at Leo (and not caring one bit that it's morning, she is committed to being a wine aunt), "Are you planning on training them to follow in your footsteps as powerful warriors?"

"No duh." Leon rolls his eyes. "They're mutants and our kids, it'd be neglect if we didn't train them at least a little."

"I will supervise," Splinter says happily, playing peek-a-boo with Mikey Jr. "But I am not helping in training until they are older. I could barely keep up the first time!"

"Not your fault, Papa," Donald assures, going through his favorite textbooks to make a Bedtime Reading pile. "We were simply too dope, even as toddlers."

"Mmm, that's one way to put it." Splinter laughs as Mikey, without fail, squeals in delight with every reveal of his face.

"I brought pizza," Casey declares as he enters. He sets the boxes down and opens them up.

Everyone leans over the pizza and stares.

"Is that... jellybeans?" Angelo looks caught between being ill and being violently offended. Splinter picks up a slice and takes a cautious bite. He stiffens, and then his whole body shudders.

"I asked for pepper things on the phone!" Casey looks through the other boxes and sighs in relief. "The rest are fine."

"Pepper things?"

"Those yellow sort of spicy ones?"

"... You mean pepperoncinis?"

"Those! Yes! ... May we go over some of the names of foods again, Master Michelangelo?"

"Oh, I wasn't about to let you leave not knowing every single pizza topping after this." Angelo gives Casey a friendly punch to the shoulder, and they both laugh. As they do, though, Angelo sees Mikey crawl closer to Splinter, to his hand, his little baby mouth open and showing some tiny baby teeth-

"NO!"

It's too late.

But Mikey doesn't choke, or throw up, or spit it out.

He... chews and swallows. And he smiles.

And he goes back for more.

Everyone watches in horror at the enthusiasm Mikey has for the monstrosity of pizza.

"He... he'll grow out of that." Angelo nods to himself. "He'll grow out of that."

[teetlezhere]

For context: started as a Primal (by Tartakovsky) AU of Rise.

Yokai and Humans live in a primitive world. The turtles are natural-born Kappas of different species. Yoshi is basically Spear, who lost his family to a Wild Rogue Kappa (Tokka), but instead of befriending Fang the T-Rex, he ends up adopting four baby Kappa.

And here is my take on the Boys’ biological fathers:

Some tidbit of info abt them:

- they’re all fighting Tokka to protect their mates and their nests.

- These Kappa raise their young communally. Even between different species.

- Red’s dad is the one with the most scars because he takes danger head-on more so than the others.

- Orange’s dad has the most scarred shell and plastron due to box turtles retreating in their shell, so predators often bite/scratch at the shell

[darth-sonny]

(i am so sorry i keep sending asks, i'm just very excited for all your AUs)

For Weary and Wild AU:

Is Casey jr clise to any of the brothers? Considering he has his peepaw back..

Was it Donnie who figured out that four was with big mama?

After the final "failed" attempt on retreaving Leo, what happened to the fam? Does Donnie officially have a full on resentment hatred for F!Leo? Is Mikey broken.. bcz he thought he was too late?

Hc that Four likes getting pet by big mama and One, also One and Raph/Donnie has a rivalry on "best sibling on Leo's book" and that when Four and Donnie reunite four almost bite his whole hand off but Donnie is too emotional to care

For your Prime Leo AU:

Who does Leo meet first out of all his Yokai friends? ..koya?.. Natsu?

Can Koya fly? Since in the idw she lost her ability of flight.. (also bcz i'm a sucker for a disable meeting/helping another disable)

How panicked was the fam when Leo "disapeared" and who broke the most things in their panic (i'm betting on Donnie) ?

ahh~ no probbles!!

for the Weary and Wild AU:

he's close with them, yes, and he's close with Lee too. obviously, he's known him his whole life. but there's this...tension surrounding them in part due to Leo. everyone heard that it was him that closed the portal, and while they don't blame him, Casey fully blames himself and kinda believes that everyone is just acting nice to not hurt his feelings. and he doesn't know if he perfers that to them outright hating him

Donnie, surprisingly enough, isn't the one who figures out Four is alive and is staying with Big Mama. that honor goes to the one and only......... Sunita *jazz hands*

after the final attempt, everyone just sort of went...numb. they got the biggest lectures of their lives by Draxum but they were too despondent to hear it. Raph doesn't know what to do with himself anymore, Donnie's officially entered a depressive state, and Mikey has now been banned from practicing mystic arts for the unforseeable future by both Draxum and his dad. watching them is like watching zombies walk about

YES!! Four does love pets!! i did say he acts like a cat, so he loves chin scritches a lot

as for title of "favorite sibling". hmmm...i'd say Donnie would like to have a fight for that title. One doesn't really care about her status in Four's favortism (she already knows), and Raph wants to pretend he follows her thinking but he secretly wants to know who Four likes best too

for the Prime Leo AU:

the first friend Leo met was Kōya!! they met when she kinda sorta accidently kidnapped him (unknowingly) to help their team win some sort of race. Leo, after a full minute of trying not to panic, thought "eh? why not?" and decided to help. they've hung out ever since <3 (Bludgeon was second, and Natsu was last)

i've finally made up my mind about that tidbit and the answer is: no~!! i decided to skip the amulet thing bc i had no idea how to write that into their character. so yeah. Kōya can't fly due to an accident when she was small (tot age) and they help Leo when it comes to his disabilities

when Leo snuck out for the first time, no one noticed. he did it all sneaky like (not with his portals bc those are pretty on the fritz thanks largely to Prime. they'll go back to normal dw, but his ninpō is pretty unreliable after Prime). but when he met Kōya he stayed out far later than he normally does. Casey was the one who found out that Leo wasn't in the lair anymore, but Donnie (as you said) was the one who freaked out about it the most (followed very closely by Raph)
