ROTTMNT HEAD OVER BOOTS MASTERPOST

ART CREDIT: @aversiteespabilas THANK YOU SO SO SO MUCH!!

100 follower DTIYS / CTIYS!

Hello!! This is a future, Leosagi, Western/Cowboy ROTTMNT au that takes place in Montana, USA. Loosely based on the song linked above. It is a fic on AO3 that is updated every Sunday night CST. Occasionally I will upload early :)

SYNOPSIS:

Yuichi Usagi, former samurai, recently relocated to Montana from the headache that was New York, looking for a fresh start. The clear skies and mountain air provides a lot of calm—and new opportunities, he discovers when he meets four turtle brothers down the street from his farm, each with their own captivating personality and kind souls. One in particular has started to make his heart pound a little faster, and yet he can’t shake this strange feeling that he knows him from somewhere…

Leonardo Hamato has lived in the same rural community almost his entire life. His family packed up and left the city when he was seventeen, and there isn’t much he remembers from the months leading up to their move. One thing he does know is that this handsome stranger is about to make his life much more interesting.

Donatello Hamato has been described as a gunslinger, a vigilante, a cold force of unstoppable nature. That’s certainly what he looks like to Yuichi, and the rabbit yokai can’t explain the man’s unwelcoming attitude towards him. But as Donnie begins to block him out of Leo’s life, taking down old pictures from the wall, silently conveying that some things are best stayed buried, well… something is definitely wrong here.

CHARACTER REF SHEETS:

I don’t think I’ll do any other auary prompts, but this one seemed good for a chapter I have written for an au where the Rise boys go through the fear fungus from the 2012 series!

Crisis

Mikey was on his plastron, laying on the floor. He had a paper in front of him and different colored pencils splayed around. He kicks his feet up and down as he draws. It had been too long since his last one. It felt good to stretch out his artistic muscles. He can’t really remember why he it took him so long to do this. He keeps his attention to the paper as one of his brothers walks in.

“Mikey.”

“Hey Donnie, what’s up?”

He continues drawing, not looking up at him just yet.

“Mikey!”

He jumps in surprise at his yelling and Donnie finally gets his attention.

They’re no longer in his room.

They’re in the turtle tank.

Emergency lights are flashing and metallic screeching fills his ears.

He remembers what this is.

“No! How did we get back here!?”

“Mikey! Pay attention! We have to find a way out!”

Donnie grips Mikey’s shoulders.

Mikey shakes. He knows there isn’t one. There wasn’t back then. There wouldn’t be now.

“D-Donnie, there’s-“

The walls start getting crushed around them.

Donnie throws himself over Mikey, holding him tight. Mikey closes his eyes, waiting for it all to go away, for it to be okay.

When he opens his eyes again, he’s outside the tank. He sighs in relief until he sees Leo kneeling down next to Donnie while Casey stands over them.

This didn’t happen before.

Mikey rushes over and sees that Leo is trying to perform CPR. He’s crying as Casey stares down in shock.

“Donnie!! No! No! Please! Wake up! You can’t do this to me!” Leo sobs as he keeps trying.

Even Mikey with his lack of medical knowledge knows that Donnie wasn’t going to wake up. He was….his body….it…was broken. Shattered. Squished. He wants to throw up. He wants to scream. He wants to cry.

For some reason he can’t do any of that.

Casey puts a hand on Leo’s shoulder, causing him to stop. Mikey can see the emotions flashing in his eyes. It’s changed from desperation to devastation to…something scary. Leo stands up and looks at Mikey.

“He just had to get stuck with you.”

“Wh-What….?”

Leo takes a step towards him.

“If it had been anyone else, they could have actually done something! They wouldn’t have been a scared little baby hiding in their shell!”

Mikey’s breathing gets choppy.

“No! Th-There was nothing I could-!”

“You always have to be the one getting protected! He would have made it if he wasn’t saving you!”

Mikey steps back.

“I-I’m sorry-“

“You’re sorry!? Now you’re sorry!? You never care about how much we have to worry about you! You’re nothing but a burden! And now you got Donnie killed!”

Mikey grips his head in grief and terror, finally screaming and sobbing.

He sits up in bed, still doing the same. He can’t stop shaking. His breathing is out of control.

He hears frenzied, hurried, loud stomps coming towards his train car. Raph slams his train car door open.

“Mikey! What’s wrong!?”

Mikey can’t help but keep sobbing, he’s in no condition to even try to answer.

Raph opens up his arms, allowing Mikey the option to hug but not going in for one right away in case it would only make it worse. Mikey basically jumps into his arms and clings to him. Raph hugs him tight, rubbing his shell comfortingly.

“Raph is here Mikey. Don’t worry.”

Mikey nearly chokes he gasps so fast.

“D-Donnie.”

Raph starts to understand and cradles Mikey close. He walks him over to one of the other train cars and gingerly walks in. Mikey can see that Leo and Donnie are sleeping next to each other in Raph’s bed. Mikey nearly falls out of Raph’s arms trying to get to him.

“Hey, be careful big man, calm down a second.” Raph whispers.

Raph gently places Mikey between the twins. Mikey sniffles and nuzzles his head into the crook of Donnie’s neck. It was easy to feel his pulse and hear him breathe this way.

Leo and Donnie both drape their arms over Mikey in their sleep. Mikey sighs slightly, calming down now that he knows for sure Donnie is safe and Leo doesn’t hate him.

Even subconsciously they care.

Raph crawls into bed and wraps himself around everyone, pulling them even closer.

“W-Wait….if everyone was asleep here….h-how did you hear me when they couldn’t?” Mikey asks quietly.

Raph glances away.

“….Raph….are you moving people in their sleep again? Were you coming to take me too?”

Raph taps his fingers together.

Mikey can’t help but smile tiredly. He may not be sure that his brothers will never be in danger again, but they’d never hate him like he saw in that dream.

“We’ll talk about that in the morning.” He closes his eyes.

He hears Raph sigh in relief. They’re all squished together a little more and Mikey couldn’t be happier about it. He falls asleep quickly.

In the morning, Mikey wakes up to Donnie playing games on his Switch. It seemed like all he could do since he was still very largely trapped by Raph and partially by Mikey himself.

“Can I watch?”

“I can’t stop you in the slightest.”

Mikey smiles and looks down at the screen.

Donnie tilts the switch slightly so Mikey can see better.

They stay like that for a while in silence.

“Hey….Donnie?”

“Yes, ‘Angelo?”

“I….I’m sorry.”

Donnie pauses for a moment then continues playing.

“For helping trap me in this bed?”

“That you had to protect me so much during all the Kraang stuff.”

Donnie pauses the game this time.

“Excuse me, had to? Are you assuming I was forced to?”

“I couldn’t get my portal powers working-“

“They were sealed off and when you got them back you threw an entire building at the krang. Not to mention you ripped through space and time to get Leo back. I believe it makes up any transgressions you believe happened.”

Mikey smiles.

“Thanks, Donnie.”

“You’re welcome. Now help me decorate my island.”

Mikey continues watching him play until Leo wakes up.

He yawns and stretches as much as he can.

“Mmmm….did Raph kidnap us from our beds again?”

“That would seem to be the case, yes.” Donnie answers.

“Not me….I had a nightmare.”

Leo and Donnie both look at him.

“What? A nightmare? I thought you were getting less of those now.”

“I thought I was too….but it was just one Leo. I’m okay.”

“Are you sure? Do you want me to sleep in your room tonight?”

Mikey thinks for a moment.

“Yeah. That might help.”

Leo smiles and pats his head.

“Another sleepover it is.”

Mikey was pretty sure he was being babied right now, but after your entire family is almost killed twice you sort of get over it.

Besides, it helped everyone else to let them do it. Especially Leo. He was the one who wouldn’t let Mikey out of his sight the most.

Leo looks over at Raph next and pushes his face.

“Time to get up bro.”

Raph grumbles and finally releases everyone as he wakes up.

The rest of them are able to sit up now.

“I’m going to make breakfast-“

“Incorrect. I believe today father is making breakfast. No straining your arms yet.”

Mikey sighs.

He almost forgot about it.

“Okay Donnie. I won’t touch a single spatula, I promise.”

“Excellent.”

He and Mikey leave the bed.

Leo tries to follow but almost falls off it.

Several hands reach out to catch him, but Raph is the one who does.

“Alright, get up here.”

Leo let’s Raph pick him up.

“Vamonos! To the kitchen!”

He points.

Raph chuckles and carries him out.

Mikey and Donnie follow them.

They all eat breakfast together and the rest of the day makes the nightmare start to fade from Mikey’s memory. He was never alone the whole time, even being joined for his physical therapy time.

They all needed it anyways.

Still, the night came a little too soon for his liking. It brought the feelings back to his mind. He really didn’t want another nightmare like the last one. Not something so real.

He’s taken out of those thoughts as Leo leans his arm on his shoulder.

“Ready to get a good night’s sleep?”

Mikey smiles softly.

“You know it!”

He helps Leo to his room and into his hammock. It takes some time to join him because of balancing issues, but once he finally flops onto it, they laugh at the struggle of it all.

The two of them talk about everything and nothing. How Mikey’s been feeling, how Splinter left egg shells in the breakfast this morning, what the plans are for tomorrow.

As Leo chatters on, Mikey’s eyes droop. Leo softly rubs circles into his little brother’s shell, enticing him more into sleep.

His eyes fully close and he drifts off to sleep.

He wasn’t even granted a peaceful start this time.

Black tendrils dig into his skin and crawl up around his face. He tries to avoid looking at the weird mass of teeth next to him.

“Gross, gross gross gross, Donnie-!” His face drops the moment he looks at the state he’s in.

The tendrils have spread far and Donnie’s head was drooped down. His eyes were gray and lifeless. There was no movement coming from him in the slightest.

Mikey panics and look towards where Leo and Raph had been fighting.

Leo was in a similar state to Donnie but for a different reason. He was pierced clean through the plastron with Raph’s Kraangified arm.

Raph had Leo’s weapon imbedded into his chest.

Mikey screams out as he’s enveloped by the tendrils.

He shoots straight up and breathes heavily.

His eyes quickly move to the occupied side of the hammock.

Leo is breathing steadily, curled up close to him. Mikey smiles softly and lays back down, presses his cheek against his brother’s. His eyes close for a second just to take in the fact that he’s still around. The moment that he realizes something is wrong when he feels his skin become wet.

Opening his eyes, it’s obvious that Leo is crying in his sleep. There’s a slight shaking coming from him too. Mikey immediately starts shaking him awake.

“Leo, wake up!”

He opens his eyes that dart around the room before finally landing on Mikey.

“It’s okay, you’re safe.” He takes his hand and squeezes it.

Leo breathes shakily and stares hard until he glances behind him. That’s when he grabs Mikey and tosses both of them off the hammock. He lands on the floor on his shell, shouting in pain slightly from his previous injuries.

“Leo!“

“W-We have get out of here, now!” His hand scrambles for something.

“It wasn’t real! We’re both okay!”

“No, you don’t get it! Something’s wrong! And I’m not letting it hurt you!” He grabs a ruler that was on the ground and turns it into his sword.

“Leo! You can’t! You promised!”

“You’re more important!” He opens a portal and sends them through.

They wind up in Donnie’s lab, scaring the crap out of the soft shell who was already heavily on guard since he wasn’t supposed to be staying up this late.

“Nardo!? You said you wouldn’t use a portal again until we all agreed you could!”

“I-I had to! Take Mikey, there’s something in his room!” Leo moves him away and tries to open another portal.

Donnie lunges forward and takes the sword from him.

“Mikey, what’s happening!?”

“I don’t know! We both had nightmares and now he’s freaking out!”

“Give it back! We can’t leave that thing in there!” Leo tries to stand and grab at the sword.

“I’ll take care of it! Just no more portals!” Donnie holds it away.

“No! I can’t let you!” He reaches up more but immediately stops at the sharp pain coming from his shell.

Leo falls over back onto the floor. Having used up too much energy and worsened old injuries, he was out cold again.

The sword in Donnie’s hand turns back into a ruler that he tosses aside in favor of picking Leo up.

“Let’s get him to med bay.”

They rush to the train car holding all the supplies they had basically emptied not too long ago.

Both of them hated the fact that Leo was back in it again so soon. Despite every insistence from him, they knew he had probably developed a fear of the type of room he used to love.

Donnie lays him in the bed and sets up a monitor for his vitals. They seemed steady at the moment so he just makes sure that all his injuries are taken care of.

“Is….is he going to be okay….?” Mikey frowns as he gets closer to the bed.

“Of course. This is nothing. This is fixable. As long as he…doesn’t go anywhere we can’t….I can fix it.” He grips the metal bed railing tightly.

“I’m going to go wake up Raph and tell him what happened.” He turns to leave.

“Wait!”

Mikey stop and looks at him.

“Take my battle shell with you, just in case.” He takes it off, holds it out to him.

Mikey’s heart starts beating fast at thinking about his first nightmare.

“It’s okay, I’ll be fine!”

“I wasn’t asking.” He shoves it into his arms with an extremely stern look.

“O-Oh….okay. I’ll be right back.”

Donnie nods and goes back to keeping an eye on Leo.

Mikey leaves, gripping the shell tightly as he rushes to Raph’s train car. He finds him wrapped around the teddy bears he had made to look like them.

It was a big relief that they had survived when Shredder ruined their first home and when the Kraang got into their current one.

“Raph! Raaaaaph!! Wake up!”

He groggily opens his eyes and sits up, holding the bears still as he yawns.

“Mmmm….oh, Mikey, another nightmare? C’mere.” He holds the bears with one hand and reaches for him with the other.

“No! Yes, but that’s not what’s happening! Leo thought he saw something in my room-“

“There’s something in your room!? Raph’s got it!” He drops the bears and runs to Mikey’s room.

He quickly runs after him.

“No! Raph! Stop it!”

They eventually both reach the room where Raph starts looking all over.

“Whatever you are, come out! Leave my brothers alone!”

“Raph! You didn’t hear me right! There’s nothing-!”

“Found it!”

“What….?” He looks up at where Raph’s line of sight is.

In the corner of the train car, there’s a blue, glowing creature with small tendrils coming out of it.

Zay and Ren's big argument :

<< Previous > Masterpost >> Next

_________________________________________

“What about that movie ?” Zay slouched over the kitchen table, showing his phone to Leo in front of him.

Leo glanced quickly “we already watched it”

Zay backs up in his chair, doubtful. “Uh ? Really ?”

They were looking for a movie to watch together and for the last thirty minutes they couldn't agree on one. Ren was waiting for them at the door, the others already waiting in the living room.

“You don't remember ?” Leo raises an eyebrow “it was that time you brought us into the theater when you were still human” Leo laughs.

Suddenly, time has stopped.

Did Leo really say that ? Did.. Ren heard ?

Zay can't turn his face towards Ren, fearing his reaction.

“we even almost got caught when Raph ruined two seats with his shell” Leo keeps going, without noticing the sudden atmosphere’s change.

Ren took his back off the wall. He's standing in the door frame, holding his breath. A shiver running down his neck. His throat is suddenly sharp, like any word coming out of his mouth would cut his tongue. Should he say something ? Maybe he's wrong and didn't hear right.

Zay couldn't hold it anymore and dared to glance over Ren. His inside onsets by that simple innocent look.

“What ?” Ren throws sharply

Zay gets up from his chair, walking slowly towards his boyfriend. Ren's muscles tense, he locks his jaw trying to contain his anger.

“Ren, please. It's not that simple..” Zay says with a soft voice.

“You were human ?” Ren manages to get the words out of his mouth. He is disgusted by only thinking that this statement could be true.

“Yes, but -”

“And when were you planning to tell me ?!” he shouts, his anger can't be contained anymore. Zay's steps abruptly stopped.

That icky feeling behind Ren's neck gets more intense. He feels betrayed. How could he hide something like that from him? Especially when Zay knows what he had to deal with humans before and what he thinks about them.

Leo stands up from his chair. He doesn't like how this is going. He wishes to help but he also knows that Zay probably won't appreciate it if he steps in. All he wants is to protect him, but he also respects that  Zay tends to want to fight his own battles. He catches zay's eyes, silently offering his help : hey, i'm here with you, just lemme know.

Zay waves him off subtly by facing Ren again.

“I thought about telling you, but you can see why I didn't ?” Zay's eyes become watery but he tries to keep it inside. He can't cry, not now.

He always dreaded this discussion, fearing the outcome. But Ren should know better than anyone else that he's nothing like the humans he met before.. right ?

Ren can't think of that coming from his boyfriend. He is kind and attentive, and always takes such good care of him and his family. It's not even his real family, and he cares about them so much. He sees it.

But

What if it explains why he fought in the battle nexus ? Maybe it was his human side that needed to be unleashed. He always enjoyed fighting, like those humans that tried to get him.

Humans are bad.

But, is Zay bad too ?

“So.. you weren't even planning on telling me at all ?” Ren says as he realizes

Zay looks away, nervous. He's scared where this will go. He doesn't want to lose Ren. Not over something so stupid.

“You told me that you hated humans when we started dating, what did you want me to do ?” he breathes out.

All kinds of thoughts start running inside Ren's head. He can't think anything bad about Zay. He couldn't dare to imagine Zay wanting to hurt him. But why does he feel like that ? 

Leo comes closer to them, still wondering if he should step in. He can clearly see his brother about to break at any moment now. He can't let such a guy hurt Zay like that. Not in front of him. But he has to play it smart, he needs to calm everyone down.

“Come on, let's just take it easy and talk about it” Leo tries to appease the atmosphere, touching each other's shoulders.

Ren startled at Leo's touch and abruptly removed his hand from his fur.

“Don't touch me !!” Ren shouts

He shouldn't have come here, it's too dangerous. Why did he trust him ?

He should've stayed in the Hidden City. He always promised himself that, why did he have to step aside from it ? Why did he have to.. fall in love ?

Zay comes in between Leo and Ren, his arms wrapping around his brother. He's protecting him.

“Ren, I know what your deal with humans is but that doesn't mean they're all the same. I got mutated by a crazy yokai, that doesn't mean I hate all yokais.”

Ren pests. What could Zay possibly know ? He saw all those humans looking at him that day when he came to the surface. Maybe even Zay was one of them.

Leo, still behind Zay, moves away. He doesn't need any protection. Especially not from that jerk. Zay must've felt Leo move because he lands his hand on his plastron, preventing him from stepping in again.

“Should've I hated you too ?” Zay says softly.

Ren swallows hard. He could never imagine Zay to hate him. It feels more icky than Zay lying to him this whole time.

“So now.. do you hate me too ?” Zay's voice breaks.

“No, Zay, I don't- I can't hate you-” words struggle to make their way.

“Then say it.” Zay's eyes are pleading “say that you still love me”

And yet.

“I…” Ren looks up, he can't stare at Zay anymore. “I need to go”

He bypasses Zay and grabs his jacket on the back of the chair.

“What ?” Zay is taken by surprise. Is he really about to leave ?!

Ren doesn't answer and just avoids eye contact by looking down, trying to pass next to Zay again. But the turtle blocks the way.

“You can't leave like that !” Zay grabs Ren's wrist, making sure he won't go anywhere before this conversation is over.

But Ren quickly removes his hand before Zay could lock his grip. Zay observes his sudden reaction. Ren curls on himself, holding his wrist close to him. Is he scared of him ?

“I'm... nothing human anymore..” Zay lower his head, playing nervously with his hands “and you don't even know how fucking hard it was to accept that.”

Ren begins to consider Zay's situation. It's all new to him. Not only did he lie about being human, but he hid all this part of his life. He wished to know that side of him sooner. Maybe it would've gone differently..

“You can stay away from humans, but I have to see my face everyday.” Zay frowns “I'm not saying that your trauma is nothing compared to mine, I always considered you Ren. But.. I never expected you to think so little of me..”

Ren's heart is being torn apart. Everything he believed in was wrong. And Zay might have gotten hurt because of that. Now to think of it, all he said about humans… damn it, Zay.. why did I say those things ?

“I'm sorry I didn't tell you Ren.. I was just– scared to lose you..” a single tear fell down his cheek, silently.

Ren sighs, his hand reaches Zay's cheek. He gently swipes his tears. This single gesture feels like Zay was finally able to breathe after coming back to the surface. Like a sweet salvation. Zay closes his eyes to his touch, feeling alive again, feeling at home. It's warm and comforting. It's simple and yet filled with so many meanings.

But eventually, Ren removes his hand, cutting short the warm feeling wrapping his heart. Zay opens his eyes again, seeing his boyfriend shyly smile. No word comes out. Zay sends an subtle interrogative look.

The deer Yokai walks past Zay silently, and stands at the kitchen door. Zay starts to come closer, feeling like he shouldn't let Ren go.

“I.. still need time to think about it. I'm sorry Zay”

Ren disappears from the door frame and Zay calls for him. He can't go, he can't leave him.

Leo stands in front of Zay, to prevent him from following Ren. Leo obviously doesn't understand why Ren would act like that simply because Zay was human. But from what he heard it's still something that matters to him.

“Please, stay here. Going after him won't be any good for now. Give you some time” Leo gently sets down his hands over Zay's shoulders.

“He hates me” Zay tears down

“No he doesn't, he just needs time, Zay..” Leo brings his brother into a warm hug.

Zay let everything out, his tears falling down his face. Leo gently settles his hand on Zay's head to bring him even closer.

ROTTMNT: Magic

A young Mikey spots Raph in his room. He sighs every few seconds in his hammock.

“Raphie?” The orange turtle peeks around the corner. “Are you okay?” Mikey’s eyes stray downward to an untouched plate of food. “Are you hungry?”

“No.. Raph.. doesn’t need anythin’ right now.” Raphael turns around in his hammock to face the wall.

“Oh..” The box shell hesitantly trots into the room. “I need something though..” Michael twiddles his thumbs.

“Can’t you ask the others? I kinda don’t feel like it, Mike.”

“Le-Le and Don-Don can’t give it to me.” Mikey mumbles with pouty lips.

With a slight groan, Raph turns back on his other shoulder to face his brother. Raph’s eyes look distant.

“Fine, what do you need.” The snapping turtle exhales deeply once again.

“I want.. you to be happy. And eat dinner with us and play with us.” Tears begin to slide down the little turtle’s cheeks. “A-And.. I wanna know if I hurt Raphie somehow and how to fix it and, and-“

A soft hand lands on Mikey’s head.

“Hey, hey, shhh.” The gentle hand of his big brother runs down to Michael’s cheek, drying the tears. “I’m ok! At least, I will be. None of this is your fault.” Raph’s distant gaze turns into a mellow smile. “ I just need some time, alright?”

“And then you’ll come out of your room?” Mikey takes hold of Raphael’s hand. His own hand slightly shaking.

“I promise.” The snapping turtle sits upright, clasping the shaking hand with his other hand.

“How long will it take?”

“Dunno, lil bud. It may take a while.”

Raphael lets go of his brother’s hand, letting both rest on the rim of the hammock.

“If only magic existed, huh?” Raph chuckles to himself.

“Oh!” A spark gleams up in Mikey’s eyes as he climbs the hammock. With a few tries and eventually a lift from his big brother, he makes it.

“I know magic!” A before unseen amount of confidence flows from the box shell’s words.

“Do ya now?”

“Yeah! Though, ya gotta close your eyes or it won’t work!” Mikey leans in close with a wagging finger.

“Oh, ok? Sure.” The red turtle’s eyes stray.

“Ah! You don’t believe me, do you?!” Michael blows up his cheeks with a frown.

“I believe, I believe!” Frantically the Raphael flails his arms.

“Good!” Now sitting back down, Mikey grins. “Now, close your eyes~!”

Raphael does as instructed.

“Done!”

With a shocked “Oof!” The snapping lets out, the turtle feels a familiar warmth surrounding him.

“Ok! Open em!”

Raphael finds his little brother hugging him tight, squeezing him with all his might.

“Uhm, Mikey? Whatcha doin’?” Raph laughs sheepishly.

“I’m squeezing the nasty out and filling it with good! You feel good yet?”

The snapping turtle snorts. But this short laugh is soon followed by watery eyes and a little sniffle.

“Yeah.”
