...I had to. Okay, so I blame @somerandomdudelmao for this one, but you've got to read Marble Sky if you haven't already, because it's GREAT. I like Ward the best so far; he gives me Donnie vibes. XD

Imagine if puppet-Zelda had shown up in BotW. I mean, angst potential, but all I have in my head is Link and puppet-Zelda showing up where the Champion spirits are.

Urbosa just roundhouse kicks puppet-Zelda. Revali's shooting arrows at it like there's no tomorrow. Daruk smashes puppet-Zelda.

Link runs in, freaking out because that's Zelda and why are they hurting her and Mipha tell them!

Mipha calmly takes Link's shoulders and moves him aside. The other Champions back off as Mipha approaches puppet-Zelda... and proceeds to stab it.

Leo’s Tea (and Pity) Party

Some more Time Hiccups doodles.

So, Master Leonardo survives the Kraang’s attack, but comes out with some major burns and lacking his prosthetic. (And he shouldn’t have anything left of his right arm, but I had a brain fart during the hard line process.) Through a complicated course of events, Leo believes he’s the only surviving member of the Hamato family and gives up.

Mikey, the only Hamato who did die (I’ve got two reasons for that, I’ll explain later-) proceeds to haunt Leonardo. And not be seen, because Leonardo hasn’t taken the time to meditate. And Mikey looks like little Mikey because being a ghost means he can choose what age he looks like~

How Leo is still alive. Mikey’s story starts here. My Ko-fi!

Prologue Part one! Part two! Glowy panels are hard on paper. And this is going to be the only part with so many pages because the dialogue and fade-to-black page felt like cheating. XD My Ko-fi!

Prologue Part 1! Part 2! If anyone finds my brain, please send it back, because obviously I’m not thinking if I’ve gone and started an actual comic! -panicked griffin noises- But this ties into this crazy idea, so... let’s go! 

My Ko-fi!

Still messing with my “Leonardo doesn’t actually die because Casey erased the Kraang” idea. Not calling it an AU because it’s canon-compliant~

Li-like this?

---- Taptaptap.   

“Quiet,” he told himself. He bit his lip against a snicker. “Quiet means living. I wanna live, we wanna live, just biding our time til it’s time to go.”   

“It’s coming soon, isn’t it?” Leo asked.   

Donnie just peered at him from his metal nest. His eyes were blinking slowly, like he might go to sleep. But he didn’t sleep. Ever.   

Leo couldn’t hold back a short laugh. “Maybe if we go to sleep, it’ll come faster, yeah?”   

Another blink.   

Leo was rocking. When had he started rocking? But it was quiet, quieter than his fingers tip-tapping against his knees. So he kept rocking, hoping Donnie might join in.   

“Any day now, yeah?” Leo said. “What- what day is it, anyway?”   

Donnie clicked his teeth, his eyes sliding to the side.   

Leo stood and turned in one move. He stared at the metal panel blocking the entrance to their little home. Their hideout. Their little base.   

“Should’ve given him a road map,” Leo said with a nervous giggle.   

Donnie gave a low hiss.   

Leo swallowed another laugh. His eyes were getting blurry, so Leo rubbed them until the tears were gone.   

“You think?” Leo asked in a whisper. “They can find us, yeah? What day is it? How long has it been?”   

Leo turned sharply and went to the little metal crate in the corner. Donnie watched silently while Leo dug through their meager belongings, eventually emerging with Donnie’s gauntlet in hand. He laughed triumphantly.   

Donnie didn’t make a noise. They were safe. For now.  

Leo squinted at the numbers frozen on the screen.    

“Two hundred and thirteen days,” Leo said.    

Leo dropped the gauntlet back into the crate and wandered over to the wall. Lines were etched into the metal in groups of five. Leo counted the groups.

“Donnie, what’s twenty-five times five?” Leo asked.   

Donnie stared at Leo, then at the door.   

“Boring,” Leo huffed. “I know, anyway. It’s one hundred and twenty-five. Plus the three extra and two hundred and thirteen days before the gauntlet got broken and-”   

Leo blinked. How long had he been staring at the ceiling? He gave a little laugh and shook his head at himself.    

“Three hundred and forty-one days, Donnie,” Leo said. “Three hundred and forty-one days.” He was rocking again. Down on his knees and rocking, his fingers tapping a faster rhythm. “They’re gonna be here any day now, Donnie. Any day now, I promise.”   

Donnie slowly rose. Somewhat. He never stood anymore, not like he used to. He kind of slunk like a cat as he went to Leo and laid down against the side of Leo’s legs. He stretched out one arm, letting it rest in front of Leo.   

“It’s going to be okay.” Leo’s hands went from his knee to Donnie’s arm to keep tapping. “I promise, Donnie. We’re going to get out of here. Mikey and Raph and Dad and April are gonna find us. We just have to be patient.”

...I had to make this joke. XD You can thank @somerandomdudelmao​ for this one, hehe. 

Casey’s kinda fun to draw... in both forms. XD (Oh, and before anyone asks, I don’t think his cloaking “brooch” is his mask, I just had his entire face drawn before remembering that he was supposed to be wearing his mask as well. ‘:D)

Remember Flying Problems from a few weeks ago? We-ell, I did actually write it. So, with Casey unable to grab the key due to his ghosty-ness, who do you think that leaves to grab the key?

You can find the fic here.

Got inspired by @cass-phoenix work over on A03, Want To Love You. If you haven’t read it, definitely check it out! Cass does such a great analysis of Leo and Splinter’s relationship, and just Leo overall!

Okay, but what if MM Leo gets thrown through a window... at ground level... that has no glass for one reason or another. MM Leo hops up, dusts himself off, and goes, "boy, it's a good thing that window wasn't higher and didn't have glass!" and trots back to the fight.

Casey’s Ninpo

Casey’s a Hamato, so it stands to reason that he’s got ninpo, yeah? :D

This picture’s a few months old (forgot I drew it again!) but it was the idea that started Silent Night.

It’s the denial talking, but Master Leonardo didn’t die.

Neither did the apocalypse timeline.

What did happen is that when Casey Jr went back in time, he really messed up the space-time continuum and, as a result, the Kraang disappeared. Nothing else changed, the Kraang just snapped out of existence. 

It happened just in time that Leonardo didn’t die. He was burned pretty bad, but he still survived long enough to be found by other survivors. Which includes Todd, just because he’s an immortal lemming.

As long as I’m saving people, Donnie’s still alive. Everyone just thinks he died two years ago fighting the Kraang and, technically, he did. But not before putting his mind into a robot. And accidentally losing the memory chips. Leonardo calls “Donnie’s robot” Roboy and robo-Donnie doesn’t have enough memories to correct him yet.

Sorry, Mikey, you’re stuck as a ghost. So is Raph. The two of them pop in on Leonardo randomly to keep him company. And they can connect to Casey Jr in the present, so Casey Jr can keep up with his family.

Splinter, Big Mama, and Draxum also survived, they were just in Japan during the final fight and are wholly confused as to what’s going on because every single comm is down. All the boys are grounded when they get home.

But, basically, recovery of the Kraang apocalypse focusing on Leonardo and the twenty kids (and adults) he accidentally adopts because it was all of them surviving in a suddenly Kraang-free world for months until they find their way to places less destroyed with more survivors.

Oh, yeah, so I had another dumb idea that technically isn't AU because nothing in canon disproves it. So, Donnie puts his "genius built" logo on everything, even his constructs, yeah? As far as I can recall, it's only on Donnie's tech. 

Except for Casey's outfit. 

Ergo, Casey is a robot built by Donnie, modeled after Casey Sr after her death, and that's why she's his "mom."

[griffin-stone]

Given the track record of Donnie getting hit on the head by his own tech, I think it would have been hilarious if, in the Rise movie, when Casey accidentally snuck up on April and got hit, instead of April KOing him, she knocks him back and his arms flail, accidentally shooting his grapnel into the air. Then while April’s scolding him for sneaking up on her and Casey's trying to explain, the grapnel falls from the sky and hits him on the head, knocking him out. XD

Flying Problems

Decided to write an off-the-wall AU of the movie where everything’s essentially the same, except Casey is a ghost. :D I’ll get the full story posted proper on A03 soon, maybe, but took this excuse to doodle. 

Part two
