Okay gonna say it now, Raph and Donnie having older sibling time is canon and nonnegotiable.

I love this so much, can't wait to see the next part!

For @rottmnt-hc!

Honestly, I had the time so I started it! Didn't feel like waiting to post it. This won't interfere with the PoAC schedule though!

Also, this is after season 2, but pre-movie, as Raph doesn't have any marks.

...ill just put another @rottmnt-hc just in case...Original post below👇

don’t know when I’ll update this tho.

I like to think Bby Raph would hiss and growl to assert dominance and Donnie is the only challenge. Neither has backed down.

Picture this, Baby Raph growl at a teen Donnie who assumes he's won.

He's wrong...

Raph attacks him and bites him and Donnie knows better than to attack him back.

Smith AU Part 1

From THIS HC, and dialogue from THIS ART made by @averagehomosapien

Warning: there is a nightmare with the tagged warnings, skip nightmare if you're uncomfortable with death, blood and crushing. Is not written neatly so I might work on it later.

It was rare that Raphael found himself awake after passing out, especially after a hard fight. Despite the fight being months ago, everyone involved was exhausted.

Especially after the bombshell.

Splinter had named Leo leader out of the blue, which got a negative reaction from Leo, Donnie, and Mikey.

Raph felt nothing but relief, and nausea, but that didn't matter.

It had been six months since the fight and Raph finally called a brother meeting last night, which lead to his now predicament.

It started with yelling…and ended with cowardice.

"Leo isn't fit to be leader! Honestly I'm not sure we'll survive long."

"Now Donnie, we won't die, but I kinda agree with Donnie on the not Leader material. Leo why didn't you argue?! You argued every other time."

"I don't want it anymore than you do! Pops won't let off. Raph maybe if you-"

"Nah, I don't think so." This gains shock from his three younger brothers.

"What!?" "Raph?" "What do you mean?"

Donnie sounded violent there, so Raph went for it instead of waiting.

"I…am not okay, I don't think I've been okay for a long time. I…we are changing, growing up so my method of leading isn't working for us. I've always thought Leo or any of you would be able to lead, that I just needed to step back and let you. I guess my… overbearingness won out, saying keeping you guys as kids was the right thing. I messed up Mike's first solo mission, Donnie. While I don't approve of theft, I don't mind it being the government as long as it's not too much, or some rich folks, and Leo I was actually going to ask you to be a leader myself if only for a bit. I wish dad would have spoken to us or at least me about it instead of springing it on all of us. I could have eased you into it, maybe coach you and you coach me. Co lead maybe, not springing it on you." Raph paused, realized he was rambling and dared looking at his brothers.

They all stared at him, mouths agape.

He began to fidget and second guess himself, as Leo began to open his mouth, Raph ran for his room.

He waited for everyone to go to bed before finally sleeping himself.

⇐===Nightmare====>

Lights blared red as Raphael ran, passing his Father's body, being held by Draxum's body. Like an attempt to protect.

Gram-Gram's ghost leading him to his brothers, calling him to hurry, to save them unlike he had done for her.

It was too late.

Donatello laying on his stomach facing away from him, his poor soft shell exposed and fully sliced open.

Mikey was not far, liquid oozing slowly from his mouth, looked as though he was tossed away from his big brother. Eyes dark but wide with fright.

Further down fought Leo, his sword being broken and head grabbed.

Raph couldn't move.

Raph couldn't get to them.

The red clad turtle watched as Shredder flexed his hand and Leo stopped moving.

Raph watched as Shredder turned towards him, mouth open wide and the demon speeding towards him.

⇐===End Nightmare====>

Raph gasped awake and now laying in his bed, tiredly looking at the roof of his train car.

Getting up slowly and making his way to the kitchen, he thought about how powerless they were without weapons.

No backups and nothing to help them out.

The large turtle found himself outside the kitchen turning on the light, he began making a Matcha blend to try to relax.

Mug firmly in hand, Raph took a deep breath. Closing his eyes at the thickness of the tea.

"Raph? Are you okay?"

Raph didn't startle but he did turn to see Donnie standing in the kitchen doorway.

"Nightmare, I'm just calming down." Raph closed his eyes in relief, Donnie was alive. All he had to do was check on the other two.

He heard movement and pinpointed it to the freezer.

Listening as Donnie moved around the kitchen, Raph kept his eyes closed. Only opening them to see his purple clad brother with two large containers of ice cream, cookies, sprinkles, and cookie dough in both hands.

Raph chuckled, remembering the late night "Big Brothers" meetings he and Donnie shared.

"We talked after you ran" Raph blushed in shame, "and you raised some great points, Leo…can be an okay leader. We realize that it wasn't fair on you to solve our problems all the time so we had a bit of a talk triangle. I know you were getting overwhelmed, honestly as second eldest I should have been the one to step up."

Donnie swirled his spoon in his plain vanilla ice cream before continuing, "We'll accept Nardo's lead, as long as you agree with co-leading. Being a leader isn't attractive..it's not a…Leo thing."

Raph snort, "It's attractive if he makes it that way, and we both know he'll try."

They finished off their treats and as Donnie left the kitchen Raph thought of it.

"Wait! Donnie, could you uuh…make me a forge or something? I know you're busy and all, but maybe-" He hated asking Donnie for things, what if he had a project he wanted to focus on!?

Donnie felt ecstatic, it was rare that his big brother asked him for things, even if they were simple.

"Of course my dear Raph! Might I ask why?" He was already putting the design into his wrist computer, keeping an encouraging gaze on his big brother.

"I think I want to learn to make more weapons, both ours and maybe different kinds." He replied hoping Donnie could read between the lines.

Donnie paused and smiled gently, "Don't worry big guy, I got it handled."

The two separated, for once Donnie slept without prompting and Raph didn't have a nightmare.

Get this, there is a reason Donnie and Raph can't do a team up! Donnie brings out Raph's unhinged self! The team most likely to murder one does it by accident and the other full of purpose. Brains and Brawns! JellyJam duo.

Their team up might end up with new tech and an explosion.
