A Broken Sort of Normal (Start)

WC: 588 CW: (updating as the fic continues), Gen but ships may be added Danny Fenton/Wally West pre-relationship, Canon-Typical Violence, Blood, Major Injury, Minor Character Death

They were going to lose.

It's a simple, unavoidable fact and it hits Danny like one of Superman’s punches. He fumbles in his attempt to triage Barry’s leg before the limb was lost.

The man standing in the middle of the ruins of Metropolis would win. He and his army of hive mind clones would sweep across the rest of the planet. Humanity would fall.

They were going to lose.

He finishes tying off the field tourniquet, not sure how he manages, not with his hand slick with Barry’s blood. Something of his thoughts must be showing on his face because Barry reaches out and grips a weak hand around Danny’s wrist.

“Kid?”

It was still a stupid nickname. Danny hadn’t been a kid since before joined up with the Justice League as a field medic four years ago. But Danny was the same age as Wally and many of the other Teen Titans— all long grown out of that name— and so he got lumped in as ‘kid’ to the more senior heroes.

And now all these wonderful, heroic, brave people that Danny had come to be friends with were going to die. The monologue happening in the middle of the street made that much clear. No hero would be left alive; any chance of a future uprising would be snuffed out this very day.

Because they were going to lose.

Danny smiles softly at Barry and pries his hand away.

“Kid, whatever you’re thinking—” Barry could have no idea what Danny was thinking. No one could.

No one could, because no one knew what Danny could do.

Danny had played to the curse perfectly for seven years. A curse set on him in a stupid moment of one last teenage angst fueled vent. He had just wanted to be normal.

Sam and Tucker were going off to college. Danny wasn’t, not with his grades. Jazz was practically waiting for her girlfriend to propose. Danny couldn’t imagine even dating with his secrets. Jack and Maddie had a new contract with the GIW. Danny had stopped trying to reason with them.

Everyone else was moving on with their lives while Danny was stuck half dead. A freak of nature. A man out of life yet still living. A walking corpse.

He just wished he was normal.

He’d forgotten that he shouldn’t wish.

A wish is only a curse waiting to happen.

Well, he got it— his wish that was a curse. As long as Danny never used his powers in any noticeable way he would just be seen as a regular kid to the rest of the world— just plain, normal Danny Fenton. If he got caught using them even once— if he got caught being not normal, his powers would be gone, taken by the curse. Without his powers keeping his core humming happily along and sustaining his half dead body, Danny would be gone.

Danny had forgotten he shouldn’t wish.

But he did.

And suddenly, just like that, to everyone else, Danny was normal— no ghost attacks to fight, no GIW hunting him, no Team Phantom.

Sam and Tucker drifted quickly away without the team to bond them. Jazz checked in less and less— no need to worry about her little brother being shot. Jack and Maddie… well, they stopped having a reason to talk with him too. They had to prove the existence of ghosts! There was no time for… well, someone as normal as Danny.

Normal turned out not to be so great.

-----

AN: I got sent the the field medic prompt going around, for some reason? (there was no comment sent with it). It's a cute idea with some fun responses, but not really my jam to write. I'm not much into exploring ageless immortal, dimension hopping Danny in my own work. I have more of a weakness for exploring what makes Danny still human. And, as @mokulule pointed out: "I see you mentioning no angst XD".

(Have you all caught on yet that I like my angst?)

So of course I had to ask if I were to write field medic Danny, how would I get him there? And how would I hurt him once he was there? So I threw out all of the prompt and I bounced it around with Moku, her prodding me along with great questions and thoughts, and now here we are.

Because apparently my brain didn't want to warm up on one of my current ideas. This will be a one shot so help me-

(BTW: While in the very vaguest sense this started with a prompt, the above writing is not a prompt. This will be finished, it's 99% planned out already, just needs the writing.)

Fluffy Steve Fest Rec List Day 4 - Birthday Comedy

It's @fluffystevefest day 4 - Happy birthday Steve! The theme for Thursday is Birthday, but, like yesterday, you're getting something completely different—comedy!

Please enjoy this not at all birthday-themed list of some of my favorite funny fluffy fics.

Son or Dog? by SucculentHyena (@succulent-hyena) (Stucky, General Audiences, 2,518 words)

Summary: Nobody can stop talking about Steve Rogers, the newest employee in the office. He’s nice, he’s handsome, and he adores Charlie. There’s only one thing they can’t figure out: is Charlie his son? Or his dog? Bucky’s going to try his best to find out.

How to Train Your Superheroes by StuckySituation (Gen, Teen And Up Audiences, 3,150 words)

Summary: “But of course, no matter how much we practice on schedule, we will need to learn constant vigilance and manage to get our reaction times down to the minimum,” Steve continues and takes the last burger beef from the grill and puts it onto the table next to him. Natasha has a brief millisecond to frown and think “Constant vigilance?”, before Steve kicks the grill so hard that the coals rain on top of the flammable carpet feets away. “What the hell-!?” “STEVE!?” Steve is already sprinting towards the ledge. “First training session started! Wanda, Sam, Tony - someone CATCH ME!” Then he jumps off the Tower.

Check One by JenTheSweetie (@jenthesweetie) (Stony, Teen And Up Audiences, 4,263 words)

Summary: The important thing to know - and I mean really, the actually important thing - is that no matter what Bucky said, Steve was not flirting with Tony Stark. (“Yes you were, you son of a - ”) Steve has an annoying best friend. Tony has an elaborate plan. Sam has allergies. Bucky has no idea what's about to hit him.

Blind Date by @aggressivewhenstartled, quietnight (@quietnighty) (Teen And Up Audiences, 8,294 words, No Archive Warnings Apply)

Summary: “I just had the best idea I have ever had in my life,” Bucky said, punching straight through a doombot with his metal hand and clutching the napkin with Steve’s phone number in the other. The formerly (somewhat) dark and peaceful corner of Central Park was now lit up with energy beams, flashing robotic lights, and panicked astronomy buffs running for cover. Oh well, it wasn't like they'd been going to see many stars what with all the Christmas shit everywhere. “The bar you are setting for that is not high,” Natasha told him over the coms. Also available as a podfic read by quietnight (@quietnighty)

Situation: Normal by redcigar (Mature, 3,155 words, Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings)

Summary: AU wherein Bucky Barnes and Steve Rogers never met, Steve somehow manages to rescue the Winter Soldier anyway, and Avengers Tower ends up with the world’s angriest duckling and a whole new brand of entertainment. - (“He was dragging him out of the river,” Natasha argues later. “Nat, be honest, he was going for the Full Monty.” Says Clint. “I’m pretty sure we interrupted him in the middle of giving ‘emergency CPR’,” Tony agrees, “Or the stage after emergency CPR. Emergency Dick? Is that a thing?” “That’s not a thing,” Natasha and Clint reply.) Also available as a podfic read by quietnight (@quietnighty)

How Steve Rogers Singlehandedly Lost the Cold War by redcigar (Mature, 3,880 words, Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings)

Summary: AU wherein Steve Rogers and Bucky Barnes never met, but the Winter Soldier takes an interest in Captain America anyway, and has an odd way of showing it. -- (On the helicarrier, hurrying to reach the central hub of the third aircraft in time, the chip clenched in his gloved fist, Steve turns to find a ghost blocking his path, and is abruptly reminded on what the road to hell is paved with.) Also available as a podfic read by quietnight (@quietnighty)

The God of Solid Life Advice by kehinki (Stony, Teen And Up Audiences, 1,583 words)

Summary: It's 2012. Steve is just informed by Loki that Bucky's alive. Loki also tells him some other things.

Bait and Switch by @galwednesday (Teen And Up Audiences, 2,650 words, No Archive Warnings Apply)

Summary: "Post-action tacos?” Tony suggested. “I’m thinking that place by Fordham. BattleBot, you in?” “Can’t,” the Soldier said, typing something into his phone. “I have a date.” Tony stopped talking for an entire three seconds. “You. Have a date.” The Soldier looked up and blinked, clearly nonplussed to find Sam and Tony both staring at him. “Yes.” “With who?” “My boyfriend.” “You have a boyfriend. You have a boyfriend?” Tony looked like he’d just walked into a lamppost, and then the lamppost had handed him a birthday present. Also available as a podfic read by Nendian

when danger greets you with a smile - Smallishwood during Secret Life Session 6

https://archiveofourown.org/works/63173971

Rating: Teen

Relationship: M/M, Gen

Archive Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply

Status: Completed Oneshot

Word Count: 2,759

Summary:

All the Reds started to drop like flies, one after another, leaving Martyn the last Red alive. And, well, Joel'd be damned if he let another person he cared about die on his watch without doing his best to prevent it.

Full fanfic underneath the cut! Please reblog, leave kudos on the AO3 fic slash notes/likes here on Tumblr, comment either place, and etc if you enjoy the story :D

All around Joel was chaos, something he would normally thrive off of.

Not this time, though.

Not when those he loved were being ripped away from him. The first Red had already perished, and– fuck! No time to think, just move!

The Wither flew around by their heads, tormating them as it flew in the open air.

Holes were blown into the ground with exploding wither skulls.

Players screamed out in a poor attempt to coordinate.

Swords sliced through the air as they failed to damage much of anything.

Arrows swooshed by their heads in an attempt to hit the damn thing.

Players were dodging and weaving and avoiding potholes for their lives.

Joel’s chest tightened with grief. Not everyone was going to make it out of this disaster alive.

He had already lost Lizzie to the void, and he knew that was his own fault. He had been the one to send her after Scott. He should have known better than to risk her life like that, even for his task–

Granted, it was her own foolish idea to use the blummin’ End Dimension. It wasn’t totally his fault. She should have known better.

At least, well… that’s what he told himself in an attempt to self-soothe. Joel wished it was more comforting than it proved to be.

His heart beat furiously in his ears, blood and adrenaline rushing to his limbs so swiftly it made him dizzy. Still, he had to keep moving, keep running! Joel knew better than to stop, for once he stopped, he wasn’t sure he would be able to get back up.

Thunder cracked as lightning struck the ground where a Player once stood, a Player who just lost their final life.

Breath caught in Joel’s throat as he glanced at the communicator built into his wristband, looking for a death message. Which Red had met their demise now?

“Jimmy!” His voice cracked with grief. “Jimmy, no–!”

He had only lasted, what, ten minutes longer than Lizzie? Joel wasn’t sure, but it still felt that new, that fresh…

A broken wail escaped the confines of his throat.

Oh, for goodness sake, Jimmy!

How has he died again? Why did he die again, die so soon?

Jimmy had only just broken the canary curse, and for what? To only last a few minutes longer? To be the first to die in The Overworld?

Had he even broken it? Joel couldn’t help but wonder, biting down hard on his tongue. His death is still symbolic of a canary in a coalmine. Shortly after his death, everything goes to shit–

Everything was already going to shit.

Everything was currently going to shit.

Lightning cracked down from the sky behind him, and Joel spun around mid run to see which Red had left them now.

He didn’t have to wonder for long, for Grian cried out for Mumbo in anguish.

“Mumbo!” Joel echoed a moment after as he blinked tears from his eyes. Not one of his Mounders! First Lizzie, then Jimmy, now Mumbo–

Anger simmered in his gut as he turned to Grian, the man who was once one of his Bad Boys. Joel tugged Grian sharply toward him by his collar, trembling with a tsunami of emotions. “Grian, you’re killing– Grian, is this your doing?”

Grian didn’t fight him back, knowing he probably deserved it. His eyes were wide and a bit wild, though grief also stricken his features.

“This is not the plan!” Grian promised frantically before promptly pulling himself from Joel’s grasp and stumbling backward. He turned as he stumbled, leaving Joel in favor of Joel’s soulbound from Double Life. “Etho, this is not the plan!”

What sort of maniacal plan had those two fuckers come up with this time?

His attention was too scattered to dwell on it any longer.

Joel combed his fingers through his green-streaked brown hair as he assessed the damage to the landscape around him, his other hand gripped tightly on his water bucket. A sword or bow would do nothing for him if he fell into a pothole or got blasted up into the blummin’ sky. He could try to save at least some of his non-regenerating hearts by bucket clutching, not that he was consistent with that.

He winced at the remembrance of his legs breaking on impact, but he forced the memory from his mind. There were more pressing matters at hand.

“Why are all the Reds dying?” Joel muttered to himself, tucking the water bucket back into his inventory and pulling open the list of Players to check their life counts. Who was left–?

His blood ran cold.

Martyn.

Joel frantically looked around, trying to spot his lover amongst the crowd. His efforts brought up nothing, leaving Joel to plead, “Someone tell Martyn to hide!”

I can’t– no! His thoughts spun in his brain, distraught, panic-stricken, and hard to catch. I can’t lose Martyn too! Someone needs to hide Martyn– protect Martyn– I need to find Martyn!

The universe had different plans as Scott chased behind Joel, the blummin’ Wither on his ass.

“Joel!” Scott called for him, sounding out of breath and a little annoyed.

Joel couldn’t blame him, especially as he’s sent most of the session plotting his demise. It was his task to assassinate Scott in any way he could, after all, but Scott was also too blummin’ good at these things that it pissed Joel off sometimes. Fine, most of the time, but like, Scott had already won; he didn’t need to outrank Joel again! Joel felt justified in his one-sided rivalry, thank you very much.

Scott didn’t understand or perhaps he simply didn’t care that Joel really didn’t want to deal with this right now, for he continued, “Are you thinking about helping me at any point?”

“No, Scott!” Joel snapped back honestly, fighting the Wither being the last thing on his mind. He needed to find Martyn. “Just stop following me, lad, please!”

Joel hoped Scott would read his intentions– as near-impossible as him being able to interpret something so complex through body language accurately was– and leave him alone. He was trying to protect Martyn, someone Joel knew Scott cared about too. They had teamed together in Limited Life, even if Martyn had stabbed him in the back to win.

Unfortunately though, he and Scott weren’t on that sort of wave length. “Well, it would be nice to have some help.”

Just go, Scott! Joel was starting to resent Scott even more staying on his heels. Hadn’t he learned by now that they weren’t allies? Friends, maybe, but during these Games, Joel was rooting for his death. Joel was known for being overly competitive, after all, and Scott was too large of a competitor to not loathe even if just a little bit. “I can’t do much to help!”

Scott seemed to finally take the blaring red flags that Joel was not going to aid him, which freed Joel up to search for the Red he was looking for.

He eventually spotted Martyn’s shade of blonde in the distance, sighing in relief as he noticed he was playing it smart and staying by the sidelines. Still though, Joel darted over to him, barely giving his lover any time to process as he took his head and started running.

Martyn stumbled after him, but didn’t let go, picking up his pace so he could run in stride with Joel. “Where are we goin’?”

“Away from here,” Joel answered, eyes darting around as he looked for a good place to lay low. “Anywhere away from The Wither and Warden. I refuse to let another Red die, not today.” Martyn’s mouth opened to say something, but he promptly shut it, before opening it again. He didn’t seem to find the words until their run turned more into a jog as they slowed, approaching the entrance to BigB’s blummin’ cobblestone backroom tunnel maze thingy.

Joel ushered Martyn inside, not giving him a choice but to go first, before following in right after. He shut the door behind them, took Martyn’s hand once more and dragged him down until they couldn’t hear the chaos that reigned above them any longer.

“This is oddly sweet of you,” Martyn commented, albeit suspicious. “You aren’t planning to kill me yourself, are you?”

“Not so loud!” Joel hissed through his clenched teeth, shoving Martyn against the wall and putting his hand over his mouth.

The both stayed silent, listening for any possible signs of the threats looming closer. Several long moments passed before Joel was pulled from his hypervigilance with a wetness coating of his palm. He wrinkled his nose in disgust as he fumbled away from the wall and off of Martyn, wiping his licked hand against his trouser leg. “Gross, Martyn! Did you really lick me–?”

Before Joel could finish scolding him, Martyn twirled him around, using the fact Joel was already off balance to pin him against the wall instead. Joel gawked at him with wide eyes, the hand licking already forgotten as red eyes peered into his yellow ones.

He could feel Martyn’s breath on his face, each exhale heating Joel’s cheeks. His gaze dropped to Martyn’s parted lips, the fearful anxiety from before morphing into anxious anticipation. “Blummin’ hell, I– I know I look good, but don’t just stare there gawking at my majesty. If you’re gonna kiss me, do it already, coward.”

“Maybe I will, maybe I won’t,” Martyn teased, leaning closer to brush his lips against Joel’s for only a moment. Instead of committing to it like Joel desperately wanted him to, he diverted the action, peppering kisses up his jawline until he reached his ear. Once there, Martyn nipped the cartilage before breathing out, “Do you think you can stay quiet if I kiss you till you run out of air?”

“I’d like to see you try,” Joel challenged, voice wavering at the thought, not that he’d admit that even if Martyn pointed it out. Not that Martyn needed to, not with that stupidly self-satisfied smirk Joel wanted to kiss off his face. Fuck, he’s hot, and he’s so close, and if he doesn’t kiss me in two seconds, I’ll–

Joel decided to take matters into his own hands, not wanting to let Martyn keep the high ground just to fuck with him. He had already lost so many, and he wanted– nay, he needed assurance that Martyn wasn’t leaving him just yet. He needed proof that Martyn was actually here with him, needing to know that blood was still pumping through Martyn’s veins instead of being used as a fine wine by Them.

His hands wandered Martyn’s body, slipping under his shirt to grab onto the love handles just above his hips. He used his grip to tug Martyn toward him until Martyn’s hips were flush with Joel’s. Martyn lost his cool suave as Joel took control, the deep pink that flushed his cheeks worth every antagonizing moment they’ve spent apart.

Martyn’s pupils were dilated, but he wasn’t sure if it was because of the dimly lit ambience of the caves, or from admiration, or both. He wondered idly if he had a similar expression, though he didn’t dwell on the idea as he discovered he truly didn’t care as their lips collided in a hungry kiss.

Their give and take was anything but serene, bloodthirsty and passionate as they practically consumed one another. It was evident that Martyn needed to be as close to Joel as Joel needed to be with him.

Martyn’s tongue slipped through Joel’s parted lips, entering the cavern of his mouth. He traced the outline of Joel’s canines as his hands canvassed Joel’s body, taking his time to explore every part of his lover with agonisingly caring consideration. Joel moaned softly as he arched his back, skin sensitive to Martyn’s contrasting gentle fingers.

Their chests heaved as their lungs contracted violently as they finally came up for air, seeking the oxygen their suffocating appreciation of one another neglected them. Joel cupped Martyn’s cheek and Martyn raised his hand to join his. He leaned into Joel’s hold, eyelashes fluttering close as Joel brushed his thumb against the very lips he nipped raw, the skin there now a furious red.

He couldn’t help but feel proud of the sign Joel had been there, the passive possessiveness stroking Joel’s inner desires. His temptations and desires and recklessness didn’t usually get to him this intensely as a Yellow, but he had already lost so much… he couldn't lose Martyn too. He couldn’t! He wouldn’t. Not if he had anything to say about it.

At least, not today.

Joel wasn’t sure his heart could handle anything else.

Martyn turned his head to press his bitten raw lips against Joel’s palm– something Joel was sure he mirrored based solely on how they felt– as Martyn’s red irises glinted with hazardous bloodlust. If Joel was smart, he should have taken it as a threat, but he couldn’t. The way Martyn looked at him was utterly addicting. “You know, it isn’t wise to be this close to a Red. Most would say it’s downright dangerous, especially given how long I've been Red this time around.”

“Well,” Joel clicked his tongue, flashing a smirk full of performative confidence in Martyn’s direction, “I’ve always been known to chase danger.”

Which is probably why half of those I care about are all dead right now.

He averted his gaze, his expression saddening uncontrollably. He didn’t want to think about that right now. He wanted to focus on the man before him. He didn’t want to be sad, to feel that distress, though he knew it was foolish to try.

Joel tightened his grip on Martyn, desperate and longing. Martyn softened from their flirtatious banter, gathering Joel in his arms much more tranquil than the ever consuming hunger from before. He pressed a kiss against Joel’s fled ruffled brown hair as Joel melted into Martyn’s chest, yellow eyes going glassy.

They stayed like that for several moments, left in silence besides their breathings and Joel’s pathetic whimpering echoing off the tunnel walls. He sniffed in sharply, glancing at his wristband communicator before shifting just enough to peer up and meet Martyn’s red gaze. “We should go back up. The Wither is almost dead, and people will be wondering where we are.” “Okay,” Martyn agreed, but he didn’t let go of Joel just yet, and Joel found himself grateful for it. He rested his forehead against Martyn’s shoulder and Martyn rubbed circles on his back.

Joel’s heart ached, and he hated himself for it– he wasn’t the one who was Red! He wasn’t the one who needed comfort, needed saving… Joel had come here to protect Martyn, to get him to hide, to make sure he lasted another session.

And well, he supposed he had done just that. He had completed his own personal task, not that the Secret Keeper would give him anything for his efforts.

Joel couldn’t stay like this with Martyn forever, and they both knew it. What they had was stolen time, each moment sacred and fragile, but Joel didn’t mind this bit of thievery. Martyn was worth any possible punishment he would have to endure for their crimes, not that he thought anyone would know.

“I’ll go up first,” Joel broke the silence, voice so quiet yet so loud this deep underground. “I’ll see if I can make anything useful with the end of The Wither’s health. You can come up a bit after me and watch from the outskirts for the end of the fight.”

“Sounds like a plan,” Martyn agreed, matching Joel’s low tone. They stared into each other’s souls for several heartbeats before Joel tore himself away.

“I’ll see you on the other side.” Joel headed toward the exit, refusing to look back at his lover. If he did, he wasn’t sure he could find it in him to leave. He placed his hand on the door, though he hesitated when it came time to open it. Joel turned back toward Martyn only to find him watching as he made his leave. “Stay safe.”

“No promises,” Martyn chirped back with bravo and false pleasantries, punctuating his comment with a two-fingered salute.

Joel snorted at the faux cheer, rolling his eyes as he flipped his lover off. No other words were uttered between them as Joel took the plunge, stepping out on the surface in the middle of a mob fight. Well, this was going to be fun.

https://olderthannetfic.tumblr.com/post/731506695576109056/i-recently-came-across-an-anti-ao3-blog-and-the#notes

I used to be one of those people who believed that age-gap ships groom people, because I'd been in the fandom for one where I saw 20-something adults using it to convince teens that romantic and sexual relationships with them were normal, and other people following those blogs responding with "aww there's nothing wrong with this 23-yro 'dating' a 13-yro age is just a number!" and it grossed me out and turned me against that ship. The vast majority of people into that ship weren't like that, but there was enough in one particular community that concerned me about how a ship like that could be used for something like that.

What convinced me otherwise was staying in fandom and seeing that - sadly - grooming occurs in all corners. It occurs in fandoms for ships that have nothing "concerning" about them. It occurs in gen fic fandom. It occurs in corners of fandom that have nothing to do with fanfiction - in fact, IME, that's where it tends to happen the most, as those are the corners of fandoms with the most cis dudes who seem to do the most grooming. Groomers are opportunistic. Sure, if you're both into a ship where it fits the narrative they want to sell about adult/teen romance being "normal," they'll use it, but if it's not that, it's something else. Simply being into an adult/teen relationship in fiction is in no way "enabling grooming" any more than any other fandom activity is, if you do the right thing and when you see a real 23-yro trying to have a "romance" with a real 13-yro, you call that shit out, alert authorities if you know enough to do so, rather than excuse it with "age is just a number."

I'm not sure there's really anything in fandom that "enables grooming" other than that fandom is a community where it's not considered unusual for teens to be friends with adults. I'm not sure how to "fix that" given that I know a lot of people have had positive experiences of those inter-generational friendships, as the adults they talked to were not creepy or boundary-pushing. Perhaps for fandom circles to do more to educate younger people about what kinds of behaviors in adults are inappropriate, and also to self-police, call out when you see adults becoming inappropriately close to teens, making inappropriate requests of them, etc.? I do have to say that as someone in my early 30s, I am fine sharing general spaces with teens but can't really see wanting to become close friends with someone I feel like I have so little in common with as far as life experience goes. It kind of weirds me out if anyone my age is becoming besties with a 16-yro and would automatically raise my red-flag radar.

But even then.... a few years ago, one of my fandom friend groups had to kick out a guy in his late 20s who turned out to be sexually assaulting people and grooming teens. And we had no idea about it, because he kept that friend circle where he was doing that completely separate from the friend circle I was in where we were all closer to his age or older and where he played the role of a good male feminist who supports rape and abuse victims because he was one too (his "rapist/abuser" turned out to be one of his victims that he was using DARVO against). Of course, he used his friendship with our group (which included a lot of BNFs and professionals in the industry) to make the young people in the other group feel like they wouldn't be supported if they spoke up. Thankfully, a few of them didn't listen, since he was wrong. But without someone having done that.... we would've had no way of knowing about what this guy was up to. He was talking to these people on different Internet spaces, at different cons, etc. On the one hand I was proud of my group for all kicking him out when we found out, but I also felt kind of powerless, how long we might've not known if a few of his victims hadn't decided to ignore his threats and speak up anyway.

Christmas was always a big deal—even in the colonies—perhaps all the more so following the Eve Wars. This year’s holiday was especially important for their little family, however: Sousuke was going to be an angel.

It was remarkable how many people assumed that being from L5 made him deaf. Possibly it was the security badge that gave them that impression, or maybe they just thought that allowing Treize to nail him meant he was on their side.

Overall, it was pretty stupid. No one paid attention to him lingering with a cup of coffee, they just went about their day and spoke where they normally would. He wondered if being able to fade into the background might be some form of magical camouflage. He supposed that was a realistic option, and there was no reason for them to expect otherwise. Not really. They didn't know him. So he was free to wander and listen and just exist for a while before he went up to the secured swipe card room to try to get a little rest and personal time.

Pleased to Meet You, Hope You Guess My Name https://archiveofourown.org/works/52675717

Explicit, Graphic Depictions Of Violence, Meet-Cute, Assassination Attempt(s), The combination meet-cute and assassination attempt, Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence

A third shot rang out, and then footsteps, and he wasn't trying to get away, no, not at all. He was coming closer.

Hell yes. It was a shame the guy was working for L1 or whoever had hired him because he would've been amazing back home. "Hey, hey! Don't fucking shoot! I wanna talk!"

That felt like a purely audible pause, followed by a nasal voice that was more a statement than a question. "About what." Like they had the time to have a discussion here. Somebody would have heard the shots by now.

End of Year Fic Recs

Thanks @polutrope for tagging me 😁!

Recommend up to 5 series or multi-chapter fics from 2023 that everyone should read (multi-year WIPs count, if the last update was in 2023)

Recommend up to 5 single fics/one-shots (long or short) from 2023 that everyone should read.

Recommend up to 5 fics NOT from 2023 that everyone should read (oldies but goodies)

Recommend up to 5 of your own fics (completed or WIP) from 2023 that everyone should read. (oooohhhh damn. I'm gonna SO fail at this, because I actually read so little myself- I tend to re-read the same stories over and over and over again, but I'll see what I can do)

Multi-Chapter

'Tis the Season (To Be Tea-la-la-lally) by polutropos (Teen And Up, WIP, AU) I'm not one for modern AUs normally, not at all, and I honestly didn't want to read it at the start, but then I did (here on Tumblr) and got sucked in LOL. It's just great, and I love the Holiday Spirit! (I won't tag you here again, as you're tagged in the entire post anyway 😄 brilliant story)

Rising as if Weightless by StarSpray (Gen) The story of Elwing suddenly becoming the big sister/foster mom of her older brothers. This is so tender and beautiful and has so much character growth and so many bitter-sweet reunions, and above all so much depth.

A Pair of Stars by Magicfeather205 (Teen And Up) Pre-historic Elves, and the birth of future kings. That was honestly the most interesting story I read this year, with wonderful and very accurate world-building and a beautiful story (and thank you, author, I now can't get the 'Elwë and Olwë were indeed the first set of twin-boys in that family' out of my head where it fights a raging battle with my own headcanon) Also, I want this fic to be read by every single midwife (and, more importantly, other obstetrician). THAT is how you treat a birthing mom. That's how you handle unforeseen events. I loved this so so so much. It would have felt perfectly natural to have Trixie and Nurse Crane walk in there- sorry about that fandom-mixup)

As Flowers From the Sky by Beleriand Death Trip (E) Fingolfin/Elu Thingol... this is honestly a ship I would never ever have thought of myself, or seen a way in which this could work, but this story DOES work within canon, and beautifully so. It has it all, from very interesting world-building ideas to mild- (and VERY funny) horror-elements, and from foreshadowing and tensions to being wonderfully wholesome. You'll feel better after reading this, I promise!

The Unforsaken by @ceescedasticity (M, WIP) Last but definitely not least. I'll again link the first part of the series in the before-2023-part, and probably say more about it there. But yeah, absolutely a must-read! Go! Go, destroy the Orc-bank! (But don't blow yourselves up!)

One-Shots

Bloodied by ohboromir (Gen) Just a little First-Battle-story. I love to see Elu and Beleg and Mablung together so so so much (who would have thought, ey?).

Unstoppable Winds by LadyBrooke (Teen And Up) The destruction of Númenor as viewed by a few of their ancestors. I really loved this because I have never actually seen a story about the Fall of Númenor written from that POV and it did (or rather does) inspire me quite a lot in my own WIP. (I have to apologise here for not having more, I read so many great one-shots here on Tumblr that I just failed to save in some way. I may add to this list if I find the time to scroll through my timeline and see which of those I reblogged)

Before 2023

elves, once (M) by @ceescedasticity The part one of the series The Unforsaken belongs to as well. And for me the most recommendable story there is (though I would guess most who see this post will know the story already). The name says it all, really, as it is the story of all those canon-characters who ended up as Orcs. This is the sort of fic I really enjoy because it actually gives an answer to a question canon rises. The Orc-bank has since so much passed into my own headcanon that I sometimes forget that it is not actually canon (which leads to very awkward situations sometimes at our monthly discussing-Tolkien-gatherings, I tell you that)

across so wide a sea (Gen, WIP) by Adwen Unfinished, but one of the most hilarious stories I've ever read. I hope so much that author continues writing it one day, but even if they don't, it's a great laugh to read what is written, and ah, the possibilities!

The Carriage held but just Ourselves (Teen and Up) by StarSpray The story of how Melian and her descendants deal with death when they finally come to face it. I don't know when I last cried so much when reading a fic. It's not just that it's so so so sad (because yeah, go kill us all even in the one chapter that should be somewhat 'happy' 😭), but also incredibly beautiful and written perfectly in-character. It's looking into those women's minds. One of my bed-time-stories. (hmpf. All the others are multi-chapters form this year. ah well...)

My own

Yet Were Its Making Good, For This (not rated, but mature:ish; WIP) Ah, my problematic WIP. I wanted that story so so so so so badly written that I forced it, and it cost me MANY nerves. Mablung of Doriath/Elu Thingol. (How is it that nobody ever wrote that ship before?????????????) Works within canon if one squints one's eyes a bit. I'm currently working on the Epilogue ind Valinor, which might, MIGHT, for once give one of my stories a truly happy ending.

Into Oblivion (M) The smut-part of Yet Were Its Making Good, For This. Elwë/Mablung/Beleg. (Well, what do you all think they got up to during the journey?) Doesn't interfere with later canon.

Why, It Asks (Gen) It's a very short read, but one that is super dear to me for some reason. Elmo's thoughts as he stands by and watches his brother's grave being dug.

Moving On-series (Gen) Is this cheating, now? As it's really three one-shots? If it is, pick the last one to read. I'm just so fond of what my imagination spat out there world-building-wise LOL. It's the story of the time Elwë was missing to his and Melian's coronation, as mostly told from Elmo's POV.

Eyes In The Dark (Gen) I just had to put it here, as it's quite sweet to read, but given the hardly-mentioned-in-canon-characters it's hardly read by anyone. Give it a try, though. I bet you like it. Little Denethor is frightened by eyes in the dark, and runs for Lenwë for help. And Lenwë is being just about the best Dad ever.

And now we come to the bit I always dread. I suck at tagging people, because I always forget who enjoys such things and who doesn't, and because everyone's probably been already tagged. So let's do this differently, then- all writers who read this and want to share their recs, please do! (Cheating again, I know)

Fic in Review 2023

This looks fun, thanks to @writer-and-thrasher for the tag

Total Number of Completed Stories: 16, which is great because my goal was 12 (one a month, which didn't happen, but oh well)

Total Word Count: 77,440! Again, I had a goal and surpassed it (getting to 300k on my account) and it feels really good.

Fandoms Written In: So much Ted Lasso, which I discovered after Sunflowers came out and was trending. I saw canon gay characters and went sign me up even if I don't normally like comedy stuff. I'm super glad I did because I've not written so much for a fandom so fast since my Shadowhunters hyperfixation years ago. Other than those 12, I did some PJO, Supernatural, and Batman, and Teen Wolf.

Looking back did you expect to write more fic than you thought you would this year, less, or about what you’d expect: so much less! Ted Lasso brainworms truly won this year

What’s your own favorite story of the year, personally?: I'm super proud of myself for finishing Past and Present Now Embrace, one of my few non Ted Lasso fics. Bianca was a very interesting character and the Percy Jackson universe it a great sandbox to play in.

Did you take any writing risks this year?: I think my trend towards gen stuff, because obviously romantic stuff gets more hits a lot of the time so I've trained myself to sprinkle it in even when it doesn't really need to be there. But with Ted Lasso I really felt like I could embrace the platonic stuff and when I did write romance it was because I wanted to.

Do you have any fanfic goals for the New Year?: I want to write a multichapter, and I'm hoping that multichapter will be either Stranger Ranger or Guard Your Heart. I've also been watching to rework the second and third parts of SSA Sam Singer.

Best story of the year: personally I'm really proud of the Fundamentals of Love and Lying, which is so self indulgent

Most popular story of the year: Get It Off Your Chest for sure, and I think that's all to do with the blurb I used in the summary

Most personal story of the year: Oh for sure it's a rather touching notion which is also probably the one I wrote the quickest. An aroace character figuring out who they are, feeling outside of so many social interactions because they lack romantic and sexual attraction? Pure projection. Also The A Team because yay autism.

Funniest story of the year: While the summary for Get it Off Your Chest is funny, Colin's reasons for picking up lesbians is deeply sad so I can't really say that. Eliza's exasperation with Jamie in Flowers for Dani is pretty funny though.

Story of mine most under-appreciated by the universe, in my opinion: Fundamentals took a lot of work but it's also a rarepair I invented the tag for and narrated by a character that is basically an OC, so I understand why it's not everyone's cup of tea.

Most fun story to write: Holy Novelty Socks Batman is pure fluffy crack and made me smile a lot

Story with the sexiest moment: none of them really. Fundamentals and some of the other TL fics have some sex allusion though.

Sweetest story of the year: I'll say Shake It Out, a teen wolf fic from early this year that I'd completely forgotten about. What's sweeter than breaking into your school at night for a date?

“Holy crap that’s wrong even for you!” story: dito on not doing scandalous, but for angst then maybe this fic where I give Dani my caffeine sickness

Hardest story to write: Past and Present Now Embrace, for sure took the longest, with me working on it for over a year. I wanted to get it up before the Sun and the Star came out but that didn't happen.

Biggest disappointment: Not any published fic in particular but I have a lot of drafts I wish had been able to see the light of day this year

Biggest surprise: the community I feel like I've found this year, especially within Ted Lasso. Doing these tag games, trading asks and ideas with other writers, is something I've never gotten to do before and I feel so lucky and grateful for my mutuals.

Speaking of... @orbitalpirate @mearpsdyke @manwholovescabins sorry if any of you have already been tagged

The King’s Chambers - March 2023 Recs

Hello,

With spring almost upon us, it’s time for another of our monthly rec lists of fanworks recommended by some of our members!

All of the recs are top/dom!Arthur with bottom/sub!Merlin unless stated otherwise.

Fic

Promise of a New Day | sffan | Explicit | 5,986w

Summary: It starts off like any other day, but in a twenty-four hour period, everything changes.

Hey little sister, what have you done? | MyKingdomComeUndone | Explicit | 1,495w

Summary: “There is no other option,” Uther Pendragon, Duke of Camelot, told his children, his face giving away none of his feelings. “Morgana will marry the Earl of Orkney.”

Love Me Not | ificouldwrite | Gen | 3,235w

Summary: Sometimes, Merlin wonders if he’s somehow harder to love than Gwen was.

~~~~~~

Where, after the magic reveal, Merlin and Arthur are in a relationship, but Arthur is repressed as always. He treats Merlin very differently than he had treated Gwen, and Merlin begins to wonder whether or not he's worth being loved in the same way. Whether Arthur even loves him at all.

(A 5+1 of Arthur being a prat and giving mixed signals, and then Arthur being a prat but giving Merlin a signal he can't miss) (no sex, kissing, established relationship)

The border of painful | Tossukka | Explicit | 3,690w

Summary: Arthur pulled the glove on, and Merlin felt his mouth go dry. (Warnings for background Arwen and therefore infidelity)

It’s quite a list | Fletcher | Mature | 13,129w

Summary: Merlin has a list of reasons why it’s a bad idea to have a crush on Arthur Pendragon. It’s a long list with very valid reasons.

Sadly, his heart doesn’t listen to reason.

Reborn from the Fires of the Scorned

by X_alaric_X (x0iHi0x)

Title is from the song "The Ringleader" by PARANOiD DJ

Natsu Dragneel, Salamander, E.N.D, whatever you address him by. One of Fairy Tail's S-Class wizards with a determination to find the family that had mysteriously vanished one day. Or was it he that vanished? Either way, he is now on the hunt for any leads on Zeref or Igneel as he traverses Fiore and deals with the inherent controlled chaos that is Fairy Tail. Maybe it gives him some kind of comfort as a subconscious reminder of his days with Tartaros. Who knows?

Now if only he could figure out how to cleanly combine both his demon and dragon slayer worlds everything would be perfect...

20 questions for fanfic writers tagged by @graham-cracker-guillotine I'm so sorry I missed this for like 2+ weeks XD. I forget I have a tumblr except for those few moments every few months when I spam reblog a bunch before crawling right back under my internet rock.

How many works do you have on AO3?

67! (Which is wild to think about, considering I've written all of them in the last two and a half years I think?)

What's your total AO3 word count?

I'm still a little astounded by this, but it's 203,676 as of December 15th 2023

What fandoms do you write for?

I largely write for DC at the moment, though I regularly write crossovers w/ Marvel, and I've got a not insignificant amount of Danny Phantom, White Collar, and Criminal Minds crossover fics too

What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

Falling Like Dominos (2363 kudos, Gen, a DPxDC crossover fic I wrote for DPDC week in 2022)

2. In the Pits (1914 kudos, Gen, again a fic I wrote for DPDC week 2022

3. Echoes of the Past (1755 kudos, Teen, More DPDC crossover stuff, but this time in 7 chapters)

4. Without a Compass, Without a Map (1452 kudos, my current longest fic, and main WIP, Teen, A Marvel/DC crossover, Tim Drake/Peter Parker)

5. Mass (1230 kudos, Gen, White Collar x DC crossover, Birdflash)

Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

I haven't really in a while. Not because I don't want to, but because I look at my inbox and I feel overwhelmed XD. I really just need to set aside an hour or two sometime and go through to respond to them all. University has been eating a lot of my time this year.

What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

I really don't end up writing a lot of angst, and when I do I really like making sure I know they're all going to be okay, but I think of my finished fics (because there's one I know the ending is going to be angsty as hell for, but that's yet to be written XD). But if I had to pick something from the limited selection I have, I think I'd choose Legislation, which is a White Collar x DC crossover fic, though I think you could argue it's bitter-sweet rather than angsty.

What is the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

Happy endings in a fic are hard for the opposite reason that angst was XD. I have so many. But right now I think if I had to pick a favorite I'd have to go with my most recent fic, Sunflower, just because I'm still really happy with how that one. It's Superbat, and just pure fluffy getting together.

Do you get hate on fics?

I've had one or two, but tbh those comments were so cartoonish they made me laugh before I deleted them. In general my readers are pretty great, and I'm really happy with where I am in writing and posting online.

Do you write smut?

Not normally, I have one smut fic posted, and another floating in my drafts, but it's not normally what I go for. I like tooth rotting fluff most of the time, and being ace-spec I always feel like the "how do you do, fellow kids" meme when I write smut XD.

Do you write crossovers?

So many XD. So so many. I mean, all my top fics are crossovers, I think that speaks for itself

Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not that I know of, but if anyone happens to see my stuff floating around outside of Ao3 please give me a heads up, I'm proud of the work I put in, and don't really want others just taking it and claiming it as their own.

Have you ever had a fic translated?

I haven't, mostly because it's not something I'm generally comfortable with. As someone who grew up bilingual, I'm keenly aware of how much meaning can get lost in translation, and while I'd be flattered if someone wanted to put in that tremendous amount of effort, I would struggle with not being able to check that the intent behind the words stayed the same.

Have you ever co-written a fic before?

I haven't, and tbh I don't think I'd be too great at it. I have pretty strong ideas in my own head for where I want something to go, and I'm not always the best team player XD.

What's your all-time favorite ship to write for?

There's too many fun ships to pick from, I really enjoy switching it up and trying different things. Such is the curse of a multi-shipper I fear.

What's A WIP that you want to finish, but doubt you ever will?

I- I'm not sure. I know I have so many ideas in my notes for my Marvel irondad fic series, and while I really do want to still execute all those (especially because it was those fics that got me to posting my work in the first place), my brain is too deep in the DC headspace to write anything purely Marvel at the moment.

What are your writing strengths?

I like to think that I'm pretty okay at setting up story lines, and hinting at/building up towards a finale. I see people try to guess where my plot is going to go later on in the fic, and it always makes me happy when people are able to guess accurately. Ideally I don't want a reader to read a decision I make at the end of any of my fics and be confused as to where the idea came from, I want there to be things readers can find when the go back and read for a second time that they missed before.

What are your writing weaknesses?

I get pretty wordy, especially in moments like this when I'm also doing a lot of academic writing (because I kind of need to be). I'd also like to work more on my dialogue, and I'd like to get better at planning/plotting my fics before hand and gauging how long they'll be before I start.

Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?

I think it's okay if it makes sense, and you can still understand the fic without knowing what the dialogue says. I've done it for Tony and Peter, and had them speak to each other in Italian, but I usually did that more-so to show familiarity and comfort, what they were saying wasn't particularly important (and it was also in part so I could practice my own Italian XD)

First fandom you wrote for?

I think it depends? First on Ao3 was Marvel. First in posted fanfic was years ago on Wattpad, and a PJO/HP crossover fic. And before that back when I was like 11 I wrote Harry Potter fanfic without knowing what fanfic was.

Favorite fic you've written?

Picking a favorite fic feels a little like being asked to pick a favorite child. I think I don't have a definitive favorite, and how much I like any of my fics really depends on the day, my mood, my headspace, and any number of other invisible and unknowable factors. But I think for the purposes of this, I'm going to go with either, Assuming Makes an Ass out of You and Me, which is a White Collar x DC crossover fic, Gen, with minor JayRoy, or Half a Secret which is a Criminal Minds x DC crossover, Teen, and was one of my longest ever writing projects when I posted it.

Now to pass this along (though feel no pressure to do this if you don't want to ofc) @cassandrasdreamworld @notherdeadrobin @marirah

burn the rain,

by harpaine

After being put into the foster system at a young age, Tommy has gotten used to hopping from house to house, never quite finding a home or family that'll ever accept him for who he is, at least, not for long, and never expecting to find one either. In fact, the only thing he expects is to end up aging out of the system and attempting to live a 'normal' life, even despite society's detestment towards his kind. After running away from yet another shit foster family, he's placed into the hands of Phil, who never thought he'd end up taking another emergency placement, but he never thought his family was missing anything until Tommy showed up.

average angst/fluff sbi foster family fic w/ hybrids! except I'm 3 years late to the trend

a little for me! Future leo x Teen!reader(14-16)

gen: Platonic ofc, Found family and fluff

Idea: you know those peepaw multiverse where future leo got throw back to the past? yeah lets change that where instead of the turtles finding him, a teen reader found him in their yard, pass out and the reader just standing there wide eyes cuz theres a big turtle in their yard, now i know what your wondering wheres the reader's family? one word ✨Vacation~✨ anddd thats where the reader begin dragging him to the house to tend his wounds.

(you can add more plot, I really just want father figure peepaw ~^~)

Welcome Home

Future!Leo + gn!reader

Warnings: angst, mention of blood and injuries, mentions of death, platonic fluff, swearing, found family if you squint

A/N: I honestly haven't read many F!Leo fics, if you could please recommend me some. :) I don't know if this feels rushed or not...

Previous | Next

Going back in time probably wasn't Leo's best idea, at first anyways. He wanted to see his family again. He knew it would hurt, but he wanted to know that Casey succeeded, to know that his family was still alive, still thriving, that Raph had beaten the pizza box record.

What he didn't expect was to end up in someone's backyard. A teenager came out of the house. Worrying and fussing, not caring that he was 6ft turtle man, that he had a prosthetic arm, or that it looks like he'd been through hell and back. No. All this kid cared about was if he was hurt.

"Who are you?" Leo hisses as you help him stand. You introduce yourself, in a way you reminded him of his family. You helped him inside and set him on your couch. "Where's your family?"

"Family?" You ask, going to the bathroom and grabbing the first aid kit.

"Parents, siblings?" He asks, holding his side, sitting up a little better.

"Vacation." You said it so nonchalantly, like it was something you answered every day.

"And they left you here? Alone?" Leo presses. You begin to clean his wounds.

"Is there something wrong with that?" You dab some of the excess away.

"Did they make sure you had food? Water? Heating?" He grunts as you apply pressure to one of the wounds that had reopened.

"How did you end up in my backyard?"

"Don't change the subject."

"The answer isn't important."

"Yes it is. You're... What 15?" Leo groans, leaning forward so you can wrap up his plastron. "I have 2 younger brothers. I'd never leave them like this."

"Where are they?"

"What?"

"Your brothers. Where are they?"

"Somewhere in the city. I was going to find them."

"Really?" He plopped back down against the soft cushion. You gave him a disapproving look. "Like this?"

"You'd be surprised."

"Uh huh..." You got up, taking the dirty things and threw them away. "I could call them... If you have their numbers. But then again... you are a turtle man."

"You think I don't have a cell phone because I'm a turtle?"

"No offense, but normal people would be terrified if a giant turtle man came in and asked about phone plans."

"I'll give you that..." Leo sighs, feeling comfortable around this odd teenager. "You said normal people... Are you not normal?"

"Normal is... in the eye of the beholder." You shrug.

"Are you a yo'kai?"

"A what?"

"A yo'kai. They're... Nevermind."

Leo dreamt of his time in the resistance. Of Mikey, specifically when he died, an orange bandana now gracing his katana.

You got him something to eat and drink, making sure he was comfortable and his wounds stayed closed. Soon you left the room and Leo drifted off to sleep.

꒦꒷⚔️꒷꒦

"It'll take everything I have."

He thought about Raph, dying in his arms.

"This isn't your fault."

Raph's last words. He had tried so hard to push them down. Leo felt guilty for the Kraang invasion.

He dreamt about Donnie passing in the medbay.

"The world wasn't meant to be on some 16 year old's shoulders."

How could Donatello, of all people, forgive him? Tell him it's not his fault, tell him that it was okay.

Now he was here, in a time period where they're still alive, 6 years after the Kraang. He wanted to see them one last time. Just once Leo wanted to look upon the face of his brothers, his father, his sister. He wanted to hold them one last time.

Greif. Suffering. Wanting to go back and replace them. They deserved better, yet, he was the one to survive. Why?

Only to wake to a 15 year old, watching him.

"You talk a lot in your sleep." You say. "Who are they? The people you were talking about?"

"My brothers." Leo pants, the dream still fresh.

"They... died, didn't they..." You spoke softer, like you were afraid of upsetting him.

"Yes..." He breathed.

"May I ask... Why are you looking for them?"

"I'm from a different time, the me in this time is 22."

"Yeah right."

"Remember that freak accident 6 years ago? Aliens?"

"Yeah..."

"In my time period we didn't stop them, they took over the world. My... My brothers died fighting them."

"And you came back in time, to a different time period, because you miss them?"

"I am nothing without them."

"Why didn't you say so sooner? Let's go find them!"

You got him a big cloak to cover his 'turtleness' as you called it. You followed him through allies until you got to a sewer hole. He pulled it up, with a little help from you and dropped down.

"No offense, but this doesn't seem very homey to me." You jest.

"Let's hope that even in my advanced age, Donnie's system will still recognize me." Leo nudges you. "You on the other hand will probably be arrested."

"Tell them I'm a friend!"

You 2 continue down the tunnel, Leo pushed the hood off as you approached a door. He pushed it open and alarm bells started ringing.

"Fuck." Leo huffed. "Stay behind me. Donnie has a tendency to attack and ask question later."

Luckily Donnie wasn't the one who came to the door. It was Raph.

"Leo?" Raph lowered his Sai and reached out to him.

"Alright, who tripped the alarm!?" Leo could hear Donnie storming to the entrance. "Leo if you tripped the fucking alarm again-"

"Donnie... Raph..." Leo finally said, tears coming to his eyes. They looked so much better, healthier than the ones he grew up with. He wanted to hug them.

"Tello? Raph? What's..." Mikey walked up behind them. Donnie dropped his bo, shaking his head.

Finally tears fell. Leo fell to his knees, revealing you. It didn't seem to matter though as the other 3 turtles' eyes were still on the old man before you. Mikey rushed forward, pulling Leo into a hug.

"I'm so sorry." Leo hiccupped. "For everything."

Raph knelt down and pulled the 2 into a hug, his head on top of Leo's. Leo continued to apologize, for everything.

"It wasn't your fault." Raphael said. Donnie finally joined to mutants on the floor.

"The world was never supposed to be on one person's shoulders, especially not some kid's."

The words spoken on their death beds now had a new meaning. A weight lifted of Leo's shoulders, he squeezed his brothers, trying to engrain this moment into his brain.

"Who the hell is this kid?" All of you froze, looking up to see a young version of the old man you patch up. "Oh. I ruined a moment, didn't I?"
