ALRIGHT EVERYBODY!!

The bracket's all been put together!

Please note that there were a few more submissions that I had to take out of the running for the sake of space, but I hope that everyone's still excited!!

Full list of names (the text is tiny ik I'm sorry) and links to the content themselves below the cut

For the record, I put all of the names in the order I had them saved then just shuffled them, I didn't make these match-ups.

I also haven't seen 100% of these, nor do I remember all of them, so if I don't remember the nicknaming system used in that specific fic, I apologise.

F!Leo and Present Leo interactions melt my heart like they’re such healing inner child moments

It hurts so much just look

[Excerpts from MNMC, OMO, TAE, DMD would’ve reread WMAS if it wasn’t suspended]

But like these young Leos have such complicated opinions on their older selves. Their relationships are so fragile and so difficult to comprehend, like it’s them. These teenagers are literally looking at a possible future version of themselves, who had to witness the fall of all their loved ones and the destruction of what they used to call home—everything that they know. They’re face to face with a version of themselves that had to go through a war that they believe was their fault because of their mistakes. Future Leos are the literal embodiment of “what if” for Present Leos.

And seeing the different ways F!Leo authors portray that relationship is so interesting. Like the common theme is resentment in the F!Leos seeing their younger selves but also guilt because that’s literally just a kid.

F!Leos are face to face with a reflection of themselves at that age and have the chance to guide P!Leo in the direction opposite of theirs. They can’t help but see the one who “started it all” but at the same time it’s not them. F!Leos have a twenty-or-so year age gap between P!Leo but they didn’t have the chance to grow as they were too focused on an alien apocalyptic war that decimated everything everywhere. They can’t necessarily help the guilt and resentment they feel while looking at the kid version of themselves that is still a kid that doesn’t quite know better than they do, but achieved what they couldn’t.

Hopefully this makes sense and thanks for listening to my Tedtalk. I’m just really in a F!Leo fic mood and I’m hurting from thinking about it so much these past few hours

Anyways… who’s the most peepaw of the bunch?

I’m thinking an F!Leo who be so dad he’s standing behind the couch watching TV with the kids but doesn’t sit. So dad the kids have all accidentally called F!Leo “Dad” at least once. This F!Leo is so dad he’s passed out on the couch after a hard day’s work claiming to have been awake since 5 AM but knocked out at 2 PM. He’s so Dad he’s sitting on the kids pretending they’re not there just to hear them laugh or smack his shell. So Dad he’s playing catch on the front lawn.

Guess who read all (that's out, as of now) of TjLockticon's 'Last Grain of Sand in the Hourglass' and became ~invested in it~.

Not me. Definitely not.

And this is definitely not a sketch I went slightly insane over and like. Fully rendered.

And these are definitely not messy sketches that I gotta either post or ignore so I don't keep messing with them. ( Under a read more link, hopefully?)

Featuring (image 1) A rendered and colored piece of the future turtles' ghost forms, both their true to life and symbolic iterations, mirroring each other. The background is an interpretation of what the spiritual plane looks like in this fic, which is a cool space-scape. (2) sketch of the rendered piece of the future turtles' ninpo ghost forms. (3) F! Donnie and F!Mikey blasting the shit out of a certain kraang. (4) the immediate aftermath of that, in which F! Donnie is pretty thrilled, and the past cast is. Surprised. (5) Splinter and double-possessed Donnie having a stare-off during the spell. (6) The accidental (gender) egg cracking that comes with meeting your future self. (7) April coming to the horrifying realization that something is wrong with Donnie (He's not stimming!). (8) Special guest appearance of Leatherhead! (9) on one hand, Donnie might have symbolic ties binding him to the kraang that are trying to fully take him over. On the other hand, he finally made contact with his twin! Even if it's in the mindscape/spiritual plane. (10) Raph also gets a spiritual meet and greet with Leo! And some horrible trauma from what happened immediately before that but shush, it's fine!

Soooo. Anyway. If any of that sounds interesting, go read @last-hourglass if you're looking for a good post movie Rottmnt fic that features the past and future boys. It's not fully finished yet, but seems to be either gearing up for, or in the last act?

[annonimous1000]

Good luck in the quarter-finals everyone!!! This was such a fun time to experience and making so many goofy pieces of propaganda and bribing the community on who to sway for lmao! Seriously made me laugh a lot! May the “Best” (everyone’s Peepaws are amazing) win!

@last-hourglass F!Leonardo and Lion (my f!Leonardo) are cheering ya’ll on!

@rottmntpeepawpolls is where ya’ll can vote if you didn’t already know that! (Just in case)

chapter six of last grain of sand in the hourglass reminded me of this tweet sorry

@last-hourglass

A scene from chapter 9 of Last Grain of Sand in the Hourglass

An amazing fic on Ao3 by TjLockticon aka @last-hourglass

Hope you don't mind my reading it out loud, otherwise tell me so, and I'll delete it!💗 Thank you for an amazing fic.

Last Grain of Sand in the Hourglass by TjLockticon - scene

- Quote

"Krang Prime tried to kill him, but he isn't dead, so that must mean someone stopped it, someone saved him-

Raph-

"Ra-" he chokes out.

But-

But Raph's not here. No one is here.

It's only him, and-

The runes burn on the sword again, and from nothing, blue spirals forth. In a flurry of color and movement, Havoc reappears, half-skeletal with all four limbs glowing, two tails coiling out from a bony spine.

Kitsune, some delirious part of Leo's brain acknowledges in amazement.

They lock eyes, and Leo chokes out a sound that isn't quite words, but Havoc understands all the same. It rushes through the cold air towards Leo, and he can't do anything except open his arms and let the color surround him.

It's warm. Havoc is warm, and Leo can feel its fur - really feel it - and he clenches his fists into it, grabbing hold for dear life as he buries his face into its shoulder, tears overflowing as he sobs harder than he did when he cut into his own leg.

"Don't leave," he sobs, "don't- not again, don't leave again, don't leave me here, please, please, I'm sorry, I'll be good I'll be better please don't leave me I'm so sorry-"

(Havoc wraps around him tighter, softly purring. Leo feels it underneath his skin, rhythmic like a lullaby.)

(It's not a chirp, or a rumble, or a churr. It's nothing at all like what he needs, because Havoc is nothing at all like his family.)

(But maybe, for now, it can be enough.)"

Until next time! //Wick 0v0

I loved the new chapter <3

@shittygaypornmagazinedotcom

[last-hourglass]

So we all agree that this is how Leon’s duel in the @rottmntpeepawpolls went down right

Congrats to @kathaynesart for Replica Leo’s epic win, you were a worthy and valiant opponent!

[intotheelliwoods]

hey @last-hourglass I turned your funny joke into hurt/comfort

Based off this post! <- go check it out :)

Anyways, it might take him some time to get used to being around Havoc

Oops my hand slipped-

Anyway the Last Hourglass is one of my favorite Peepaw fic and ROTTMNT fic in general, and when I saw Raph’s new mystic tattoos I couldn’t resist.

Last Grain Of Sand In The Hourglass belongs to @last-hourglass ! Pleas give it a read if you haven’t yet, it’s really a wonderful fic!
