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.

Was Leo able to make it up for Jr or was this the start of something bad?

Like i can imagine leo explaining his backstory to Jr.

Leo yelling at Junior over the key wasn't the start of something 'bad' persay' more that it was the start of everything.

Casey jr would have shown up shortly afterwards and Leo would have taken him in. He never told Junior a single thing about him being from the future or them being the same person. But Casey is the catalyst for the truth coming out bit by bit.

Junior suddenly has a new 'brother' who his Dad seems awfully close to. He has to share his fathers attention with someone for the first time ever. Then eventually he finds out about the rest of the turtles, his family. Finds out what Leo did and who he is. That they are the same person. That the man he looked up to all his life and wanted to be just like has been raising him to become the opposite. That he was kidnapped because his Dad truly belived everyone else would be better off without him.

And while Leo apologised for losing his temper going forward it was always in the back of Juniors mind. That his Dad could so easily turn and yell at him for messing something up. A crack in their relationship, a crack in Juniors unwavering belief that his Father would love him through anything. And when everything else in his life is falling apart, that crack can splinter.

about one and a half futures au! how's the relationship between casey sr & jr and rest of the turtles? (including future leo?) and it just hit me i don't think we saw april in this au? where is she?? is she ok?! pls i need to know- ;;;;

Lets see Casey sr is pretty isolated from the rest of the turtles. She's a feild agent while their basically under lock and key. She probably hasn't even seen Mikey for years(although she could if she wanted to). She sees Donnie more often but the two aren't particularly close(don't have anything to bond over).

SHe's obviously great friends with Leon(His only friend) which puts her at odds with Leonardo. She dosent respect his authority, is rebellious, free and outspoken. Leonardo is pretty indulgent of this, brushing it off as Cassie being Cassie. She dosent really see what Leonardo is doing to Leon because it's not physical attacks like the rest of the resistance(and they keep their more overt conversations between the two of them). So she dosent really resent him more than she would an overportective father/brother figure but if she knew the full scope of how he treats Leon? Leonardo would be dead by morning.

Casey jr has a much closer relationship with all the turtles. He sticks by Leonardos side so he always visits Mikey and Donnie with him. He and Mikey get on like a house on fire. Mikey always glad to see him down below and the two together will try to blow improtant stuffy meetings off course, stealing a bit of entertainment for themselves. Donnie's a bit more stiff with him. He sees how coldly Junior acts towards Leon and Junior knows Leon and Donnie are close. Leon is always going to be a point of contention in their relationship. They can tease and be snarky with each other but theres an undercurret of they're not completely joking.

Leonardo is basically Juniors Dad. He's the right hand of the resistance which means Leonardo can keep him nearby at all times. The two are the only ones that know what happen in the future and will spend hours trying to remeber every detail and make plans around it(The future's already been blown so far off course it's basically pointless). Junior does itch to get back out on the feild but agrees and trusts Leonardo that him staying inside is what's best for the resistance.

As for April:)

I don't know if you've heard it, but I was listening to the song Death of a Hero by Alec Benjamin and thought that it kind of fit your one and a half futures au. If I had the skills I'd make an animatic for it but sadly I do not, so just a thought. Hope you're doing well!

Oooo you're so right that is absolutly them!

I also have a few songs I relate to this au. Here they are(in sort of narrative order)

'Til the end by Halfy & Winks

Desecration by Knight of Endale

Invisible by Amanda Fagan

Vantage by Halfy and Winks

Promises you Couldn't keep by Amanda Fagan

Forgiveness by Amanda Fagan

Also I'm doing good! Been busy the past couple of weeks, had my graduation ceremony at last followed immedilty by a family reunion. I'm tired, but had lots of plane rides to write on so thats a plus!

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]

Question for the Leo Jr. AU: Has future Leo ever got so stressed or angry abt something that he yelled / scared Junior without meaning to and regretted it afterward?

This would have been set when the au timeline finally catches up with the movie timeline. AKA the day Leo failed to get the key. He's been waiting for a chance to redo this for years. When Junior followed him he told his son to stay out of the way, but he didn't. Leo started to get flashbacks and have a panic attack so Junior swooped in.

All Leo could see was history repeating itself. Junior making the same mistakes he did. He didn't even realize Junior had succeeded until they were back home.

Question for Triple Divorced - how much of Mikey's hair has gone gray before reaching 18?

I joke, but seriously, how stressed is the youngest at trying to keep things together with their chaotic family? Canon has nothing on this child's efforts to keep his family from killing each other

Well considering I started getting grey hairs at 19- I jest(not really my roomate helped me pick them out). Yeah Mikey is stressed 24/7. He tries to plan things like family dinners and the whole thing is a mine feild. Mikey's internal monolouge:

Can we have it at someones house? no then that will give somone an unfair advantag and power- so we go out to dinner, but it what area? How big a resturant? Too small and they'd be forced way too close together. Too big and any argument they have will have an audience. What food are we going to get? If we get Tapa's style then paying can be split evenly- but we can't get Tapa style that involves sharing and thats a recipe for disaster. But if we go somewhere with individual plates its going to be a fight over who pays for the kids. Which will spiral into an argument about who's paid for more. And all of thats just the setting, let alone thee CONVERSATION-

Yeah Mikey is stressed he has Donnie style conspiracy theroy boards mapping out anything and everything that could go wrong.

When people reading your au are smarter than you are:O I'm gonna claim this has always been the reason Leo makes portals without swords and not because I didn't feel like drawing his sword back in the first comic.

You're brilliant @darkwolf13reblogs!!!

I mean Mikey and Senshi would for sure get along as cooking buddies. I also think Senshi and Donnie would be united in their dislike for mystics/magic.

Alright it and hear me out they wouldn’t take them to Hueso’s. They are for sure making a beeline to Meatsweats.

recently brain's been saying a rottmnt x dungeon meshi crossover would be interesting. laios wanting to eat a ninja turtle would be low hanging fruit obviously but it could be interesting to see say, how leo and marcille interact (assuming post canon for both of them) given that there's a commonality of "technically kinda responsible for unleashing something that almost ended the world that one time" which could be interesting to explore
