Summary
He’d known about it well before Splinter kicked him out of his lab. How far back it went, he has no clear idea. Burnout is tricky. Sometimes he can tell the moment it starts to rear its head, and then he can go and decompress by skateboarding or playing video games, or by falling into the hole of a different hyper fixation until the feeling stops burning at his brain. Sometimes, though, it sneaks up on him and takes him by the throat, and the best he can do is just ride it out and hope he’ll crash before he melts.
“So a while, then?”
“…Maybe.”
______________________
Donnie may or may not be going through burnout. His family may or may not be worried. Who's to say, really?

Summary
“Then how about an extra challenge?” Leo finally says, and when he looks at him, he’s surprised at how serious he is. Leo is razor focused. Out of all of his brothers, Leo’s the most competitive. He should’ve expected how seriously he would take this.
“Name it,” Donnie says.
His mouth quirks upwards to the right. A smirk.
“We all gotta take off our hazmat suits.”

It's Rat Flu season, and Splinter Must Say Yes.

Summary
“Soooooo,” Leo drawls after a few minutes of silence, “What do you think the babies would look like?”
Donnie wants to murder him.
“Nardo,” Donnie replies, eyes narrowing, “Not funny.”
“I mean, kinda funny,” Leo replies, grin growing bigger. Donnie looks away from his twin as he tries his damnedest to refocus his attention on the escape pod upgrades and not on the idea of April.
He’s not very good at it.
______
There is a very slight, small, almost unnoticeable possibility that Donnie and April like each other. Unfortunately for them, it's only unnoticeable to them.

Summary
“Why’re you so worried about Donnie for, anyway?” Leo says with a pout, “You’re the one crying. Why won’t you tell us what’s wrong? You always make us tell you when something’s wrong. You’re not being fair, Raph.”
Raph does his best not to shrink in on himself.
“Sorry,” he mumbles, wrapping his arms around his knees and squeezing tight. He’s caused a problem. He didn’t want to cause a problem. He just… he just felt sad. He just wanted them to wish him happy birthday.
______________
It's a No Day in the Lair, and Raph just wants to get through it. His brothers makes it hard, though, but how can they help it? They're just little.
A Turtletots/Childhood story!
