https://archiveofourown.org/works/60580693/chapters/154671124

“Egg-stremely Unaware”

Summary: Since returning from a family vacation in Tahiti, Donnie hasn't been himself. He's been experiencing a wide range of symptoms: difficulty focusing, nausea, heartburn, and more. Fortunately, his family is there to support him as he battles whatever bug has taken hold of him, although their behavior seems a bit... peculiar.

Or: the boys are excitably preparing to welcome a new member into their family home. Except for Donnie, who's not sure why his brothers have taken to rubbing his plastron so much lately.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/55286506/chapters/140248366

“Love You For Infinity”

Summary: How do you tell the people closest to your heart that you love them when it's clear that they don't love you in the same way?

Simple answer?

You don't.

But, boy, is that hard to do when you live with them and always want to be by their side.

“better keep your heart strong”

https://archiveofourown.org/works/44822434

“Dopamine Highscore”

Summary: anything you three break without proper compensation for my time.”

His brothers stared, shock and confusion clear on their faces.

“Not with money, of course. I know you have none,” Donnie huffed. “No, I’m happy to barter or trade for my services. If you need my help with something badly enough to interrupt my work with your task, then surely you can come up with a bribe good enough to convince me to help.”

- - -

Donnie is overworked and he can't seem to catch a break. The solution? Make his brothers 'pay' for his services so they won't bother him as much. But when the favors become sexual, Donnie's carefully constructed plan begins to fall apart. Is he worthy of love on his own, or only when he's useful? Rated Explicit.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/53390059/chapters/135129088 -

“To Mend is To Bind”

Summary: Don is mentally and physically broken by a violent assault. Rated explicit.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/2583233/chapters/5750084

“Past to Present”

Summary: Takes place during the ep "Same as it Never Was."

Years after his mysterious disappearance, Donatello has been returned to his brothers. Leonardo can't quite believe it, has to prove it to himself with sound. Smell.

Touch. Rated explicit.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/6063025

“Send Your Lifeboats Out For Me”

Summary: Leadership training, in a jungle, alone, because that’s a set of circumstances that will make a better leader. What if Leo was sent away for a different reason? What if he was sent away to heal under the guise of “leadership training”? A year and eleven months ago Leo started acting strange. A year and nine months ago he was sent to Central America. A year and three months ago he was supposed to come home. A year ago he stopped writing. Two weeks ago he returned.

Now Leo’s back and his brothers question how he will fit into their lives now that he’s home and whether they should try and integrate him into their relationship. The only problem is the brother that left for training wasn’t the brother that returned, and now the story of why Leo was sent to Central America isn’t as cut and dry as they previously thought. Rated explicit.

“choice of freedom”

Summary: ᴘᴀʀᴛ ᴏɴᴇ: When a mission goes wrong, Raph and Donnie are captured by an organization with mysterious motives. They’re subjected to increasingly unsettling tests while their brothers—their respective mates—hold down the fort as best as they can.

ᴘᴀʀᴛ ᴛᴡᴏ: Leo, Raph, Donnie, and Mikey deal with the aftermath of the incident and what it means for their relationships. Rated explicit.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/48117553/chapters/121335538

“When Life Gives you Eggs”

Summary: Mikey loves being with Raph, particularly when he can get him properly riled up. Sure, sometimes he's a bit sore after, but that's nothing a few pain killers from Donnie's desk can't fix. Right? Rated explicit.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/67280722/chapters/173791600

“Chance”

Summary:

Disclaimer: The TMNT are not mine. No money being made.

Type: TMNT 2k12, multi-chapter

Rated: M

Summary: A birthday giftfic for Caroaimezoe. Leonardo is now the head of their small mutant family. As close as they all are, he feels that something important is lacking. They could be closer, stronger, but it requires they do the one thing they've never done before. To take a chance.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/26395381/chapters/64297891

“Just Words”

Summary:

Leo's been slowly falling apart ever since he and his brothers started having sex, having an aversion to degredation when the rest of them seem to love it. He never said anything, even when it got really bad, because a fear of words is such a stupid thing to have.

They're just words, why does he care?

He doesn't.

Obviously.

It'd be pretty fucking pathetic if he did. He doesn't give a shit, or take those fake insults to heart, or feel like shit the second it's over.

They're just words.

He doesn't care.

...

(Spoiler alert: He actually does. A lot.)

https://archiveofourown.org/works/45698746

“This Burning House”

Summary:

Leonardo's brothers were all surprised by his choice to reject them. They were made for each other and the happiness they've found together is irreplaceable. Complicating matters, Splinter's decision to send the leader away had denied them the opportunity to reason with the eldest.

So, when the chance arises, what are three loving younger brothers to do, except re-write history?

archiveofourown.org/works/78598721/chapters/206084356

“Just Stay Alive You Idiot!”

Summary:

Mikey and Leo are the only pair who don't seriously fight. The odd argument or disagreement sure, but not a full "said things we'll regret" fight. Then Leo had to go and almost get himself hurt protecting his family. AGAIN.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/43448793

“Dance the Night Away”

Summary:

Leonardo’s first prom doesn’t go exactly how he planned it, but his brothers will always be there for him in the end.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/59993701

“Next Time We’ll Live Forever”

Summary:

He can’t see the bruises and bite marks, but he can feel them there, on his neck, his shoulders, and the insides of his thighs. All minor things, really, compared to the gaping black hole he carries inside his chest.

Winter is almost over and the Ronin is haunted by a life that was almost his.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/60558148

“The Last First Date”

Summary:

Leo remembers some pivotal events of his life, and a few regrets.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/10078841

“Fears of Fearless”

Summary:

He never intended for this to happen.

He only intended… to protect his family… his brothers were most cherished…

But the responsibility was a burden he accepted. For him life was not about fun, it was about love. Love for his brothers so that they were free to take it easy, as easy as they were able to… and free to dream, as far as they were able to go… and even free to not think, especially at times life was too overwhelming…

https://archiveofourown.org/works/56253166

“Add a Little Paint”

Summary:

Mikey tries to hide a few bruises from his older brothers.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/17984318

“Blue Skies and Azaleas”

Summary:

Leo’s first coherent thought after he’s dropped into a puddle is, How?

How did this happen to him?

That question never leaves him as he fights to recover and reconnect with his mates.

Later, as he stands before the highest authority of his kind, fighting for more, he wonders the same thing.

“Flowers for Lovers”

Summary:

https://archiveofourown.org/works/52477828

Splinter has recently passed. Leo struggles with his new duties and responsibilities. His brothers set out to show him he does not have to carry the weight of the world alone.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/6750922

“Share”

Summary:

Rated: E

With their physical relationship being a fairly new thing, the Turtles are determined to keep no secrets from each other. However, sharing some types of emotional baggage is a little harder for certain members of the family.

“take me down to the river and bathe me clean”

Summary:

This is love, this is kindness, this is three of them holding onto their fourth with desperate, hungry fingers (this is not a story they will ever let outside their fractured little circle).
