Based on this post of mine, haha.
Leo finds The Last Unicorn. Core memories are made.
#rottmnt#rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles#rottmnt leo#rise leo#rottmnt headcanons#rise splinter#that movie is a rollercoaster#little Leo in his little British orphan boy pajamas should probably not be watching it essentially alone#Leo going through all stages of grief AND fear from this movie#his insomnia was NOT helped by this movie#‘you won’t let me leave right? I don’t wanna go’ flash forward to Leo trapping himself in the prison dimension#all while his father can only listen in horror

Had the idea that Splinter needed to wean Leo off needing Donnie to sleep cuz lil Donnie started needing his own space, but it was a struggle. Til Splinter discovered the secret dough rolling technique and on occasion adult Leo will wrap himself in a ball as a self-comforting method when he’s missing his family most.

Febuwhump Day 7: Alternate Timeline Self
“They were your brothers! Your brothers!” Don’s voice cracked with the ferocity of his scream, the same force carrying his fist into his own emotionless face.
His other self rocked with the blow, recovered after a few staggered steps, but otherwise nothing. No shudder, no blink, not a twitch.
“They were all you had! They were everything! How could you do that to them?” Desperate hands snagged his throat, squeezed and shook to rattle some response out of him. “How could you leave them?! Tell me how! Tell me why! Where were you when I had to watch them die?!”
#febuwhump2025#febuwhumpday7#alternate timeline self#answer: taxidermied apparently. but our don doesn't know that#teenage mutant ninja turtles#tmnt 2003#drabble#fanfiction#same as it never was#tmnt donatello#angst#grief

What if the tracker Donnie put in Leo worked the entire time Leo was bouncing around the universe?
Maybe Donnie ended up making a spaceship for them to go out into space and find Leo, constantly having to change course when they see his tracker spontaneously move somewhere else. It’s annoying that the tracker moves so often, but it’s also a relief, because if it ever stopped moving, or worse disappeared, then…
At any rate, space adventures for all of them as Donnie, Mikey, and Raph (+ others like April and maybe the Caseys) try to get Leo back and Leo keeps desperately trying to get back home, not knowing his family was coming for him.
#rise comic spoilers#tmnt 40th anniversary#rottmnt#rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles#rottmnt headcanons#rise didn’t have space adventures so this ends up working out nicely#also gives way for them to meet people like Renet and Mona and all that jazz#+meeting various alien bad guys#what if at one point the others actually catch up and ALMOST grab him but he teleports right before they can get to him#Donnie after working an entire months straight to distract himself from his grief and desperation: behold! a spaceship#Donnie after working an entire month straight to distract himself from grief and desperation: behold! a spaceship! let’s get going Now
