Train-wreck of thought by halogalopagost

A beautiful 2003 tmnt where Mikey is having trouble meditating and gets some tips from his dad and brothers, he struggles with his ADHD, he over comes it and turns out there is a lot more to this meditating than he thought. he intends to use it to his advantage.

The Legend of the Heiwa no Buki by abz_the_turtle

2012 Mikey is pure of heart and turns out that causes some problems for him, his brothers and a certain bother in blue from the future

exhaust trails through space by SpectrumWriting

Each brother learns new things about each other and finally get to take a few deep breaths.

Surface Pressure by TheKeyBladeMaster1994

Mikey watched Encanto and something abut their family feels familiar. Honest to go so good, it is unfinished and only at 3 chapters but it is 32k words and by god if it isnt one of the best books I have read over 5 times already, featuring mikey being a helpful little brother and managing to stress his big brothers out in the proccess.

Pretend That I Never Left by redstingraven (sirimiri)

2003 Mikey gets taken into the Horizon Zero Dawn universe rather than the superpowered turtle universe in the SAINW episode. Positively glorious, he gets bashed and bruised and comes out the other end with an arrow sticking out of him.

All The Small Things by taizi @taizi

2012 Donnie gets deaged and Mikey gets to be a big brother. Positively adorable, Mikey is an enabler and the poor toaster will never be the same, plus just the right amount of angst to make me squeal.

Underdark by Nekotsuki

2003 Mikey and Leo and stuck in the sewers after a collapse, both are hurt and oh looky here it seems Leo has fainted and Mikey is panicking, it would be great if he could take a full breath to hyperventilate with.

We've been here all along by Taizi

Beautiful 2007 tmnt, Mike gets shot, worries about making Donnie abandon him, Casey says fuck that.

walk with open hands by taizi

Mikey can't get over his fathers death and knows his brothers cant get over it either, and he is going to do something about it, been if it almost costs him everything. Was originally 1 chapter, but a second chapter from Splinters POV makes everything gorgeous.

traveling so far to get there by taizi

different age turtles, 2012 universe, Mikey and Raph gets transported to a post-apocalypses time-line aptly called the after party, no one lives, but Mikey does manage to find himself a monkey companion and Raph really wishes his little brother and him would be back home. Little moment of Mikey and Donnie being twins that is positively adorable and I need more of it ASAP. Its 10k words but reads like 30 in the best way possible, like literally a must read!

Closer by Taizi

adorable human woodyangelo

Problem child by taizi

human AU, Mikey is going to give his big brothers a heart attack, he makes questionable friends, and it seems he has a lot of growing up to be doing

Things You Never Outgrow by taizi

Mikey might just have picked up some less than stellar habits from his family as a baby, and now its coming out to bite him in the butt as his brothers notice.

Know the world in yourself by taizi

Donatello is an aspiring Egyptologist, and close friends with part-time thief and sometimes-scoundrel Casey Jones, who pickpockets an ancient map of the fabled City of the Dead off a young man he stumbles across in the Casbah—a young adventurer, it turns out, and none other than the little brother Donatello hasn't seen in almost eight years

Small spaces by Taizi

After 2012 Mikey gets captured and held by the Kraang, it seems he might just have a new fear, his brothers are not happy about it.

While you're here enjoy the view by taizi

Cute little woodyangelo 2012. They have my heart

Sleepwalking by TheKeybladeMaster1994

Splinter wakes up in a cold sweat and notices that Mikey is missing, and it seems like a dark entity is after his littlest sons light, good thing its just a nightmare, right? A few nights later it seems that is not so. Only 4 chapters but has 30k words and is a positive joy to read, I hope it continues to update.

The Ultimate Weapon by TheKeybladeMaster1994

Mikey is pure of heart and just about everything knows it, including but not limited to an eldritch entity that he swears is just try to make his life hard no matter what it tells you.

Interrogation or Malpractice by Professor_Anxietree

2012 Mikey when he got captured by the triceritons, their mind reading machine doesn't do quite what was intended and it spells out pain and sufferings for the smallest of the Hamato clan. Its pretty much being over stimulated to the max, like your skin feels too tight and you can hear your nerons firing in your brain type stuff, beware if you have overstimulation.

Someone to Protect by Koalagriton

2012. Mikey's big bothers get captured by Hun and Mikey doesn't take it well, that's going to become Huns problem.

yolk by angelmichelangelo

Mikey can't take the fighting anymore, too bad it took wrecking a midnight breakfast for his brothers to notice.

december 18th: raise a glass by angelmichelangelo

Burnout: Part 1

Where are they? What are they fighting? Idk it’s not important. Anyways look at Raph being all cool and saving his brother! Surely this will not have long lasting repercussions

This takes place post-movie, plus however long they would’ve needed to recover from said movie. So idk like, a few months maybe

Next

Part 1- Brothers in a Can

-

A COMIC?! yes! But also! I’m an exhausted college student with a job so updates…. once every two weeks at best, as well as inconsistent details, poor writing, and perhaps even instances of sleep deprived nonsense.

That being said, I’m soooooooo excited to draw this so I’m going to keep it going as long as my cringe driven heart lets me!

A crossover fic :)

- Ch. 20 of Spiders Web With Strings Attached by @psychologicalwarclaire

GET HER MIKEY. GET HERRRR. JUSTICE SHALL BE SERVED!!!

This is your reminder to go read this amazing fanfic. Am I spoiling a pretty big moment in this fic? Maybe. Only those whove read it would understand the amount of pure euphoria this chapter gave after words and words of having your heart shattered in a million pieces. Chapter 20 of swsa is iconic and remains one of the greatest moments in fanfiction I’ve ever read.

[misiahasahardname]

still can't get over 'mikey takes charge' purely because of how positive (and INCREDIBLY oblivious) mikey is

like...

DUDE he is literally HOLDING A BRICK ,,, HOW did you not catch on by this point 😭

[qoldenskies]

this is a genuine genuine genuine question, where did the idea that mikey feels like he has to be the emotional pillar of the family come from? like are there any actual canon examples of this, or are people filling in the gaps with disconnected information because mikey's insecurities are never actually explored?

[idontevenremember5minutesago]

Feeling cute.

Might fuck around and become a Tmnt blog for a couple of months.

Post-Movie Turtle Pile Blah Blah Blah

(just me projecting thoughts and feelings and wanting a hug lol)

"Do you ever feel like..." Leo trails off. His twin and younger brother are both fast asleep against Raph, who shifts subtly to peer at the slider.

"What?" Leo picks at a loose thread on the beanbag he's occupying.

"Nevermind. Sorry," Leo replies. Raph huffs sleepily.

"What's on yer mind, Leo?"

"Don't worry about it, Hermano." Leo's tone is devoid of emotion. Raph checks the small clock ticking away across the room.

1:38 AM.

"Leo?" Raph tries, the slider's gaze shifting to his big brother from his staring contest with the ceiling. "Could ya tell Raph what you were gonna ask?" Leo tenses. Raph notices the signs of a panic attack a mile away. "Hey, big man, you're alright," he says, shifting around to reach for Leo. Mikey and Donnie mumble in their sleep.

"Raph..." Leo's voice cracks as he accepts the offered hand. Raph kicks into gear, sitting up enough to pull Leo into a hug. This startles their purple and orange brothers awake.

"Leo?" Mikey mumbles, joining the hug without questioning what's wrong. Donnie silently reaches out to tap Leo's shell.

We're here.

"Do you ever feel like you shouldn't exist?" Leo whispers brokenly. His brothers pull him in even closer.

"Aw, buddy."

"I do." The three eldest brothers snap their attention to the youngest, who shrinks away but doesn't let go of the hug. Leo lets go of Raph to pull his only baby brother closer into a crushing hug. Donnie joins the hug on the other side of Mikey, making sure he's holding on tightly to both of his younger brothers. Nothing else is said, and any tears that fall are silent. Leo tries breaking away at some point, making the other three latch onto him tighter.

"I'm sorry... Insomnia brain doesn't pair well with, uh..."

"Don't let go, Leo," Mikey whispers.

"I am declaring war on your dum dum thoughts," Donnie mumbles.

"We're in this together," Raph says with finality.
