Summary
“Time?” Mikey asked.
Leo had stolen a watch off a Krangified human a couple months back. After a thorough wash with clean water (Donnie insisted), he’d been permitted to strap it to his wrist. “Almost four. Gonna have to wait out the rain, so we might as well have Meal Three while we’re here.”
“I wish you’d call it dinner,” Mikey sighed.
“I will not,” Leo replied. “It’s the apocalypse. I’m taking every opportunity to define the slang of the era.”
“Sue me for wanting a little normalcy, Leon.”
“If our meal times were normal…” Donnie began.
“Yeah, yeah.” Mikey dropped his bag off his shoulder and dug through it. “How’s everyone feel about a nice tomato and oregano dinner?”
“Chef’s choice,” Raph rumbled exhaustedly.

The world just ended?!?! Oh no! Three months into the Krang Apocalypse, the battered Hamato brothers pick their way through the desolate, ravaged remains of New York, scavenging for food and supplies as they try to stay alive long enough to beat the Krang. Spoiler: they definitely won’t beat the Krang.
Or: the shitty lives of the Bad Future bros BEFORE their Future got Bad. The Shmedium-Bad Future, if you will.

Summary
Donnie chuckled under his breath.
“What?” Raph asked.
“Nothing. I thought that squirrel seemed a little nutty.” Donnie paused, eyebrows raised, but Raph did not give him the satisfaction of a laugh. “Uh, nevermind. The fridge works fine. It’s just the lightbulb that’s out.”
“Oh, great,” Raph said. “Give it a twist and let’s get the hell out of here.”
“Mikey would’ve laughed.”
“I’m not Mikey.”
“No,” Donnie sighed. “You’re not.”
Raph wished he remembered enough about his youngest brother to understand all the nuanced layers of meaning in Donnie’s statement. But since he didn’t, Raph let it pass.
------
The M-Bomb has detonated over New York City. Having lost his family and his memory, Raph wanders through an apocalypse with nothing to tie him to his past except his brother, Donatello.
Will they survive?!?!?! (probably not)

Summary
“You got mugged?” James asked. “A muggle mugging? Merlin, you had a wand, didn’t you? Should’ve used it.”
“Couldn’t. Obliviate is my weakest spell. Can’t bring myself to do it right, I think.”
Lily finally spoke up. “What’s your name?”
“Remus,” the stranger answered quietly. He had a soft, careful sort of voice. He didn’t turn to face Lily, but he did catch her eye in the rear-view mirror. His eyes were soft too, the color of chocolate.
James laughed. “Yeah. You’re a wizard, alright. Where to, Remus?”
“I’m not sure actually,” Remus said gently. He glanced back at Harry’s carrier, and though he couldn’t see the baby inside it, frowned. “I’m looking for someone, heard he lives in this neighborhood. His name’s Sirius Black.”
------
One too many close calls lead James and Lily to cut ties with the Order of the Phoenix during the First Wizarding War, taking their infant son with them. Several months later, the Potters come across a bloody, disheveled man lying on the side of the road. A man they've never met before.

Summary
Reality hasn’t quite sunk in yet, he thinks.
It’s not until he takes a step back, not until his foot crunches on something hard and triangular, that the sheer weight of what’s happened crashes down on him. His body is trembling, his stomach churning, and there’s a hot stinging pain behind his eyes as he lifts his leg to get a look at what he just stepped on.
It’s no bigger than a bottle cap. Could be some bit of debris, but no, it’s caked in blood and patterned with an unmistakable texture. The little piece of shell is like a knife—it even drew a bit of blood from the bottom of his toe. And dammit, it’s not the only piece. He’s standing in a minefield of shattered turtle shell.
Raphael thinks he might puke.

IDW Raphael reflects on his relationship with his genius brother, whose facial expressions leave something to be desired.

Summary
Being pressed against his chest is as thrilling as it is worrisome. He’s put on a thin shirt (when she first woke up, he was bare-chested) through which his warmth seeps so wonderfully against the exposed skin of her back. What’s worrisome is that his chest is moving rapidly, heavily. He seems to be fighting for breath. At first she thought it was the adrenaline. Surely the fight with Ganondorf was fast-paced and arduous. It’s been long enough, though, that he ought to have caught his breath by now.
She turns her head slightly so he can see part of her face. At this angle, Zelda can only glimpse the very tip of his ear. He’s wearing amber earrings, not the blue hoops she’s used to seeing.
“Are you alright?” she murmurs.

Summary
“Right,” Mikey snorts, and then gestures down towards his setup, all but beaming with pride. “So we’ll ease into it! Instead of tryin’ to like, skydive right to the meat of the, uh, bare bones-“
“Mixing metaphors. Cross-contamination,” Donnie says. He is actually factually correct, and also actually factually ignored.
“-I’ll draw you a picture! You get a little distance, Leo doesn‘t get mad at me ‘cause I let you watch the giant monster Don video, and also I get to show off a bit, which. Never hurt a guy, y’know?”

Summary
When Donatello makes a bizarre and chilling discovery, he and his brothers have to decide together what is worth risking.
-----------------------------------------
In the fullness of the headlamp’s glow, the concentric patterns of dark and light emerged, turning each scute into its own kind of topographic map. Donatello knew his brothers’ scutes intimately, but he’d never seen his own quite like this.
How could this be? How could this be here?
