    Summary

    “It’s a nickname. Short for Donatello.”

    “Heh.” He quirks a smile. “Kinda a coinkydink ‘cause-”

    “Hamato Donatello.” Leo’s head shoots up and the turtle looks back. “My brothers are Leonardo, Raphael, and Michelangelo. They have nicknames too. Mikey, Raph…” He tilts his head, urging, “Leo.”

    Leo stares, looking for any sign of deception. The turtle keeps talking, almost as if he’s trying to get the words out before his brain can catch up. “We’re a team. We fight crime and save people. I have a father. We call him Splinter. He’s a rat. Used to be a human. Adopted me and my brothers, taught us ninjitsu.”

    Leo’s paralyzed. He waits for the snickers, or for the punchline.

    The turtle does not shirk away, eyes bright with the maniac look that Donnie gets when he proves a theory correct and is dying for a single person to acknowledge that he’s the smartest being on planet earth.

    “So. Leo.” It’s conversational, calm, eager. “What’s your family like?”

    (Or, A crossover where 2012Donnie is sent by Za-Naron into the Prison Dimension and joins RiseLeo during his stay. ✨ And they bond. ✨)

    Summary

    A normal mission ends with Leo questioning his place on the team. Mystic rings are not to be trifled with.

     

    This is mid-s2 (specifically right before the hidden city episodes!), so Leo's portaling skills and overall ninjocity are basically nonexistent.

    EDIT: Now that this fic is finished, I will be editing every chapter as well as releasing some extra content! Thanks o everyone who was supportive while I was writing it! I had a lot of fun :)

    Summary

    Falling into another realm wasn’t what Zane expected when being struck by Aspheera’s staff. He’s unsure of where to go next but is thankful for the small village he finds hospitality with.

    Of course, simply waiting to be found by his brothers wouldn’t be as easy as he hoped.

     

    A ‘What if Zane did become the Ice Emperor and was an actually great ruler?’ AU. Inspired by @spinchip on Tumblr.

    Summary

    Left reeling in the aftermath of not receiving a single vote in The Favorite Character Awards™, Caine experiences art block for the very first time.

    Safe to say, nobody’s favorite ringmaster is extremely NORMAL and well-adjusted in the brain about this!
