I just realized. I don't think I've seen anything about April in OaaHF. Where is she? What does she do in the resistence? How aware is she of Leon's situation?

Set while Leon is recovering from his first facial scar:

“No, no way!”

Leon groaned as the yell woke him, sound getting choked out by the bandages wrapped tight around his neck. Constricting his airway making it so he could never get a full breath, was always light headed. Although that could be the bloodloss.

“We need his portals, its not a-”

“I don’t care if it’s a transport mission, I don’t care if he’s at the very back line, you are not getting him out of that bed,”

Leon scrunched up his face so he wouldn’t have to deal with the light of day. Or the light of med bay. He wanted to go back to sleep and it wasn’t even the yelling that was stopping him. Pain flared along his face and shoulder in tandem with his heartbeat. Bandages pulled meticulously tight making every throb worse.

“It’s not an active mission, I’ve mapped out the points all Kraang will be avoided-”

“Then you do it!”

That voice, Leon knew it even past the haze pain. Probably helped that there were no painkillers available to keep him floaty. He sighed his big sisters voice was always soothing, well when she wasn’t yelling at him. Although he supposed she technically was.

“Ape’s I’m needed here,” Leo reasoned, his voice was deep and raspy. Huh Leon wondered if his voice sounded closer to it now, “I can’t up and leave the resistance without aleader for a minor mission,”

“So you admit it’s a minor mission!” April accused, Leon tried to open his eyes. The best he could make out was a couple of blurry figures until the light forced him to shut them.

“Minor but needed, lives are at stake here April,”

“His life is at stake!” Leon opened his mouth, but his throat was raw and the skin of his cheek pulled weirdly threatening to make him throw up if he tried. He tried anyway, why should be matter? “If he moves that wound, the wound you gave him is going to tear right open, he won’t survive that a second time,”

“April it was an accident, my hand slipped,” 

His future self was right of course. After all he had been the one to sacrifice his scarf to keep as much blood inside Leon’s body as possible. He had literally held Leon’s life in his hands. You didn’t do that for a person you were actually trying to kill… no matter how much it looked lik you wanted to seconds before.

That was fine. It was an accident. Leon shouldn’t have baited him.

“Bullshit, also I don’t give a crap, he’s not ready for field work!”

“The doctor cleared him,”

“Which you know they shouldn’t have!” April screeched, ugh Leon wished she wouldn’t, “Come on Leo you're a medic, just look at him!”

There was silence. Leon held still pretending to be asleep. Which was easy as he was teetering on the edge of unconsciousness. Only the jabs of pain and his sister keeping him present.

“It’s between him and them,”

“Him, everytime, my little brother should come first everytime,” Leon’s heart didn’t know if it should skip a beat or clench. It was the answer he wanted to hear- but one he was completely undeserving of.

“I can’t play favorites,”

“Plaaeesseee,” The pure amount of sarcasm poured into the tone would have shot three men dead, “Is that why Mikey’s locked up in the underground bunker within an underground bunker, deep fried and finished with magic?”

“April-”

“Or how about Donnie’s lab, which is enforced with thirty percent of our titanium stores?” Leo would have rolled his eyes if they wouldn't just keep rolling back into his head. Obviously it wasn’t a matter of favoritism, his brothers were simply more important than him, “And how me and Cassie keep getting shortlisted missions? Junior hasn’t left your side in months and you haven't left this safehold in a year? Yet guess who’s going on missions every other week?”

“It’s all a matter of circumstance,” Leo’s voice took on a cold and harsh tone, “I’m trying to keep everyone alive for the sak-”

“Everyone but Leon,” 

She called him Leon… when had he become Leon? When has he started solely thinking of himself as Leon? Why was his futureself exclusively Leo? The thoughts were to hard to capture, slipping through his hands like sand. He wasn’t sure he wanted to dwell on them anyway.

“Well sucks for you but I care about keeping him alive, even if you don’t,” 

That wasn’t fair, he cared about Leon he did, as much as he could. Leon didn’t make it easy, after… after everything he caused. He couldn’t blame his future self for being a bit weird. He cared where it counted. Leon would’ve been dead three times over now if he didn’t.

“This mission is needed-”

“I’ll go then,”

No, April

“April, No,”

“If it’s so important you need to drag him out of bed and risk reopening the slice you put in his neck then it’s important enough for I, commander O’Neil to take over,”

“You’re not who you are in the future, you’re not Commander O’Neil,”

“And I never will be if you keep coddling,” April spat, “Besides I don’t care about being a commander right now, I care about being a sister, so it’s either I take the mission or you cancel it,”

The silence stretched on. Leon grasped onto his threads of consciousness. Purposely twitching his shoulder to get the fiery pain to keep him awake. It was amazing how something could fill him with so much dread yet he still selfishly felt hope that they would go through with it. Because he was selfish, rather stay hidden away in bed in a back room of the stronghold while his big sister fronted all the danger.

“Fine,” Relief and dread, unfortunately not in equal measure, “You come back alive understand?”

“Oh darn, there go my plans,” April tossed back, a shade closer to her usual teasing tone but still tense.

Leo didn’t answer. Because he was Leo, even in Leon’s own mind. But the older turtle huffed. Leon listened to his footsteps fade as Aprils got closer. The dip in his bed bit him to open his eyes.

“Heya blue, you awake?” April’s hand gently brushed his forehead, Leon cringed as he opened his eyes, “How’re you doing?”

He couldn’t answer, not really. So he leaned into her palm. Flinching as the small movement pulled on his wound from neck to cheek. He hissed through the pain. Tight bandages around his throat feeling suffocating as he would have struggled to breath even without them.

“Sorry, sorry, just wanted to check in,” The details of Aprils face were hard to make out pain blurring them out, “I’m going away for a mission,”

“Do… t,” Leon tried to sound out, it didn’t come anywhere close, but hey look at that: His voice was raspy.

“Don’t worry about me, it’s my job to worry about you,” She pat his cheek, thumb rubbing soft circles under his eye, “Seriously, please, it’s ok to care about yourself, you should, once in a whil- actually all the time,”

Leon shook his head imperceptibly. She was wrong. He had done that, over and over again. Each time they lost so much. He couldn’t, not anymore. Why couldn’t she understand that? 

Leo understood that. He knew what it was like to sit with that guilt, that self hate. He knew how to work for others to ease that feeling even a little bit. As losses stacked everyday and crushed him under their weight.

“I bet your thinking something stupid right now,” April pinched his opposite cheek, the unscarred one that showed off his brilliant red stripe, “I wish you were better so I could beat my love into your skull, but we’ll have to save that for when I get back,”

Leon plucked up the strength to use his right arm. Greaspoing Aprils loosely. He needed to get his point across, even without words, he had to.

“I will be alright, you rest up,” April moved from his grasp to instead thread their fingers together, “I’m your big sister, I’m always going to look out for you, even if I have to do that by not being here,”

No, no that wasn’t what he meant. Leo jerked to grab her again. White hot flares shot through his shoulder. Fuck, wrong arm. Darkness clawed at the edge of his vision, plusing in time with the pain searing through him.

“You’re so………. Don’t let anyone convince you…..” April's voice faded in and out, “ We have always…….. None of this………… alright Leon?”

Leon, that was the last word he caught before his world faded to black. The last thing he heard his sister say. 

When he woke up.

She was gone.

And so it begins. At this point I have a semi linear comic planned. As in the events are in the right order but I'm skipping out on massive chunks in between because I'm not drawing all that, only the important moments.

Anyway feel free to ask questions!

Alright everyone's been far too nice to Leon it's time to get back to what this au is really about: Making the poor boy suffer!

Everyone in the resistance knows that Leon "destroyed the world" . Giving them a very easy scapegoat for their anger and fear.

Alrighty that's going to be the end of this semi consecutive comic. From now on it's gonna be one offs with written context. Along with asks, mostly asks if I'm honest. So if you want to know something that's your go to.

We just got to do Raph and the third Casey in this timeline and then I can move onto the next time jump.

Intro - There is no next! wade through my blog and hunt for treasure!

Hello again!

For your One and a Half Futures AU, after both the bad future Leonardos have gotten to the good future timeline, how much does the smallest Leo find out about what the oldest Leonardo did to Leon during the second apocalypse? Does he find out specifics, like what happened to Leon's eye? Or does he just know generally why Leon is so protective of him from oldest Leonardo? Or is he pretty much in the dark besides the fact that these two just fucking hate each other?

Thanks!

Little Leo doesn't know specifics, his future versions try and keep it vauge but he can guess. He also knows more than most family members because when the two are left alone with him they drop all pretenses. So he gets context clues as well.

He has a pretty good idea of what happened between them and it doesn't paint a pretty picture.

#One and a Half Futures #oaahf #rottmnt #rise of the tmnt #tmnt #future leo #rise #f!leo #just look at that childish innocene be snuffed out:) #it was a start but it still wasn't enough for Leon to give up on Leo #also this directly ties into Aprils fate #and with those three statements people will defintely yell at me for I shall now run away

[thr-333]

Hi! Happy Friday!

I was wondering if, in the One and a Half Futures AU, if Leo’s dead family from his own timeline (his brothers, April, Splinter) are aware of how he’s treating Leon? If so, do they ever try to lend Leon some support, either by trying to comfort him in his dreams or boosting his strength out in the field? Do you think they would try to make contact with Mikey, and are there any factors that might prevent them from doing so?

Have a good weekend!

They would try, but doing so would mean Leon has love and support and I cant have that, not yet>:)

Mmmmmmmdsjfasdk I am already over here craving for Donnie to call F!Leo out for all of his bs and beat the shit out of him. I am craving for Donnie to go nuclear on the old man. Like holy heck I do not like this variation of the guy, and tbh at least in this au, I have the feral need to have Donnie go to hell and back to protect his twin (because- idc what "Leon" says to defend himself, my gut is telling me he is so very in the wrong and deserves all hatred Don most likely has brewing within towards the guy)

Aka: I once again adore another lovely au ya made, I just am biting at the bit over the thought of Don-tron and disaster twins content

Holy purposefully vague statement Donnie!

Unfortunately for you and Leon, Donnie's need for validation gets in the way of him going feral. Does he know the full extent of how Leo treats Leon? No. Does he know Leon gets sent on all the most dangerous missions for not solely logical reasons? Yes. Does he hate himself for not speaking up about it? Absolutely.

Looks like Mikey is feeling isolated from his brother. I'm sure that's not going to have an affect on his mystic abilities.

Ugh the quality of this comic is uhhhhh- but posting it in this state was literally the difference between moving on or dropping this au entirely. I drew the next part before this and I like it much better.

Babe wake up new au just dropped: One and a Half Futures

Future Leo comes back in time to help stop the Krang invasion. However he stops little Leo from pushing to take down the Krang. Instead they build up the fortification he knows they need from his expertise in the apocalypses, becoming the leader of the resistance.

After all these years where does that leave this timelines Leo?

One and a Half Futures character design for Leo. He's in his early twenties in this au. I will likely never draw him in this much detail again. Also have some sketches.
