March For Raph - Day 1 - "Perfect Outfit"

I know it's late, shush!

So, I won't be doing all the prompts. But this one inspired me. Based on the date outfit Casey wears in Season 4 "Episodes in Turtle Sitting", and inspired by Raph tying Casey's bowtie at his wedding in Season 7.

Meanwhile, Mikey is helping April pick out her outfit for the biker clubs ;p

March for Raph Day 17: Pet Care

“Sorry, Lu, s’just me,” Raph sighed, crouching to scratch under Lucy’s chin. He wasn’t surprised when she dodged to peer anxiously toward the door.

When Mrs. Morrison called three days ago, laid up in the hospital with a broken hip, he didn’t hesitate to assuage her worries about Lucy being alone at home. “I got her, Mrs. M. I’ll take care of everythin’.”

As for Lucy’s worries about her owner, he could only keep his hand outstretched until she realized nobody else was coming and defeatedly headbutted his fingers.

“I miss her too, pretty girl. Just a little longer, okay?”

March for Raph is coming up!!

In March

like in the name

Anyway!

What's March for Raph? A list of 31 prompts (words or short phrases) for the month of March, all Raph centric, open to any iteration. You can draw, make gifs, write stories, write essays, short videos, whatever you can think of! No pressure at all to complete all the prompts, it's less of a checklist more of an inspiration board. The point is just to celebrate a character we love and also meet other Raph fans, that's really the best part.

Check out the tag #march for raph to see what it was like last year (we'll use the same tag this year). I'll be checking the tag daily when March comes to make sure everyone's stuff gets shared, please also feel free to @ me in case anything doesn't show in tags

This wasn't even remotely an issue last year but since I just invited all whoever to @ me I should add: I won't be reblogging tcest, x reader, anything excessively violent or sexual. Keep it clean pretty please

Here's the updated prompt list for 2025; I'll link this post in pinned so it's findable, and will be trying to keep it circulating these next couple of months (tell your friends!)

March For Raph

Day 9. What’s wrong with me

Headcanon: There's nothing wrong with Raph, he just…

His emotions are so big that it overflows from his heart.

3. Too Loud - TMNT 2007

Soft Rasey for the soul.

It's night.

It's night, which means he has things to do: crimes to stop, goons to catch, leads to chase, brothers to disappoint.

It's night, he has things to do, but it's too freaking loud to do any of them.

Raph presses his palms harder against the roof's edge and focuses on the bite of jagged asphalt through his gloves. Kicks back and forth to feel the air push against his legs and stares at the ground like the vertigo he got used to a lifetime ago might save him from the pounding in his skull. That erratic pulse of the city, alive and clawing through his brain.

He's seriously considering the merits of melting into the rooftop by the time Casey shows up.

Casey clambers onto the roof all bluster and boisterous joy. He's stealthy when he wants to be, which is conveniently never when Raph is around to make fun of him for lacking it. The familiar gripe builds up in his throat and chokes. It's already so loud, and if he gets them both going, it'll get even louder, and he's really not that worried about stealth, but it hurts.

He lets Casey jostle him into a side hug and rant about work and share the latest gossip from April and Angel as he stares at the ground and pretends that every word out of his mouth is a distraction from the pain instead of another rubber band wrapped around his skull like a swollen watermelon waiting to explode. He doesn't know how Donnie lives with these all the time. He kind of wants to sob.

Casey barks a laugh at his own mediocre joke, and before Raph can think, he's tipping over the knife edge of hurt into anger.

"Shut up!" he hisses. Ugh, he sounds about as pathetic as he feels.

"Dude." And Casey looks about as offended as he sounds. "What is your problem?"

"Nothing," Raph bites out.

Casey reaches out to push him. Raph can already tell it'll be weak, with hardly any power behind it, and how dare he? Raph already feels like shell; Casey could at least fight him like he means it. He snatches Casey's hand, yanking him forward to snarl in his face.

Casey doesn't even fight the hold. He visibly resists the urge to roll his eyes and then. He pauses. His gaze scans back and forth over Raph's face. He lifts a hand close enough to touch, and Raph flinches away without thinking.

"Hey," Casey says steadily, "just me."

He slips his hand behind Raph's head, loosening the knot of his mask until it falls limply around his neck. The pressure release brings relief and another sharp stab of pain. It's everywhere now, and he can't even think straight, it's just—

"You gotta tell me when you're hurting, man," Casey whispers.

A cool hand settles at the base of his skull. The first soothing sensation since he forced himself out of the lair with a pulsing cord of tension between his temples. It takes him a minute to remember what Casey said as he leans back into the hand.

"'M not hurt," he murmurs.

Casey huffs a soft, humorless laugh, but if Raph's eyes weren't closed, he's pretty sure he'd see that stupid smile Casey can't seem to stop looking at him with lately. There's this bubble around them now, suffused with Casey's warm affection in a way that buffers the sounds of the city.

"Come on, let me take you home." Casey tugs on the hand Raph still hasn't let go of.

"Don't wanna go home." He tugs back, hugging the five slim fingers to his plastron. When that doesn't get a reaction, he squints his eyes open to glare.

"Is that"—Casey gestures with his head—"supposed to convince me? You look like a wet cat; that's a wet cat look."

"Oh my gosh, shut up," Raph groans. Ow, even grinning hurts.

"Either you let me take you home, or you're sleeping on my couch."

"Fine."

"Fine, what?" Casey complains, and Raph is really getting tired of being talked at.

He pushes to his feet, dragging a spluttering Casey up with him. The headrush is nearly unbearable, but Casey steadies him without a word.

"You're driving," Raph mutters, tipping forward until his cheek presses against Casey's shoulder.

Tomorrow, when he wakes up on Casey's crappy sofa, melted ice pack slipping to the floor, he'll wonder if he imagined the press of lips to his forehead.

March for Raph day 19:

The others go missing

"Your brothers are gone now. You are all alone"

"My...attention is now reserved for you alone"

Woof, was hard finishing this "in time" this is very late but I still wanted to finish it. Ended up learning a whole new program for it, so the learning curve was rough.

This entry is based off an AU of mine, partly inspired by Rise, set in the 2012 universe where, post series end, Shredder comes back as a ghost/demon, and Raphael ends up sacrificing himself to seal him away, to his brothers despair.

Five years pass, but for Raphael and Shredder, mental and soul-wise, it's been 50. And when they're finally released, Raphael is no longer himself.
