1. Spine of Steel- body horror, the scarab does a-lot without really saying anything. “Ignorance is bliss… right up until it isn’t”- ONE SHOT

2. Eons of Connection- soulmates-platonic, and the slight shift left that this causes when Jaime has the name “Khaji Da” written in alien script on his arm, and Khaji Da has been picking up on senses and memories while dormant for 22 years.

3. try again tomorrow- Khaji Da woke up to a newly captured subject of Reach. Reach then learns the grave mistake of giving the plucky earthling who just graduated with TWO degrees, psychology and computer programing, an “unfeeling AI”. Jaime’s years long hyperfixation on AI and how to fix the Doom Protocol comes in handy.

ROTTMNT Fusion AU

The turtles are fighting in the mystic city. The opponent is large and tossing them like Ragdolls. There even being tossed through windows and into stores. Raph and Mikey finally take them down and head to one of the broken shops to collect Leo and Donnie.

Except, they aren't there. Their gear is there, minus Donnie's goggles, torn and broken but no sign of the twins. Just a bunch of different knocked-over potions. Where did they go?

Everything was fuzzy when they first woke up. For some reason everything was sore and it was hard to think. They look around at the mess around them and their only thought is 'I'm in so much trouble.' Before they can even process the thought they're already stumbling out of the destroyed shop and away from the sounds of fighting. They did not want to get caught up in that.

They pass a large window and see their reflection, but something doesn't quite seem right. They seem taller than they remember. Indigo markings like crescent moons and scattered stars over their eyes and across their snout. Similar markings going down their arms and legs. "Looking pretty stellar if I do say so myself." They cackled at their own joke, revealing a mouth full of sharp teeth.

Wait! Now they know what's wrong! Except for a pair of goggles on their head, they're naked! Why aren't they wearing anything? They need something to wear but don't seem to have any money. Good thing they're quick and know how to sneak around.
