Summary
April O'Neil was not lost.
She was not!
She was exploring the playground and the surrounding area, that was all!
…but was she supposed to take a right turn at Albearto's or a left?
Maybe she was a teensy bit lost after all.
(Or, apparently there are some tweets about how April presumably met the guys a good few years before the events of the series, but they didn't get the chance to elaborate on it since network mismanagement shot the show in the foot. However, the idea of teensy April with tiny tortles has been bouncing around my brain like a Windows screensaver ever since I saw those tweets.)
(Or, "piece of evidence #254 that i cannot for the LIFE of me control the hyperfixate")

The Big Damn Hero Speech by roseverdict

Summary
In the aftermath of the Krang's attempted invasion, Raph finds out that not everything Donnie records is morally gray or for dubious purposes. Then again, Donnie did say he recorded everything, so maybe he shouldn't have been surprised when his younger brother pulled up the rousing speech Leo gave while Raph was still under Krang control.
...wait, the what Leo what?!
(Or, I read this Tumblr post and immediately lost my dang mind for 48 hours straight.)
“Donnie records everything”
broke: Donnie listening to what happened in the prison dimension
woke: Donnie showing Raph Leo’s big damn hero speech since he wasn’t there the first time

Like a Photographer at an Erupting Volcano by roseverdict

Summary
The events of the battle against the Shredder took place in the Hidden City while the population of New York was trapped and mystically pacified in Big Mama's orb. Sure, nobody could deny that something had gone down- there was plenty of destruction left behind, after all- but nobody knew what the cause had been. At the very least, anybody who did know kept their mouths firmly shut.
The events of the Krang invasion occured in broad daylight in New York City, with all the terrified civilians and would-be archivists that entails.
Is it any wonder that at least one of them thought to film the final showdown against the extraterrestrial invaders? What other city could honestly say they had powerful, mysterious individuals protecting them?
(or, somebody filmed the final action sequence all the way to the end. nobody's face is revealed, but several things might just be set into motion anyway.)

And You May Ask Yourself, "How Did I Get Here?" by roseverdict
Fandoms: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (TV 2003)
19 Sep 2023
Tags
Summary
Mikey had been following up on a potential lead on what might have been an EPF bunker for several reasons- the EPF could be doing anything down there with no one the wiser, of course, but he'd also needed some time to himself while Leo and Raph argued, and there was always that tiny glimmer of hope that maybe he'd find-
But he hadn't.
He'd gotten about a mile from where the bunker was supposed to be before the entire thing had erupted in a massive mushroom cloud and the ground had started sinking.

Summary
"Donny, I think we're gonna need more pixels on that thing," Raph remarked. "It just looks like a ball."
"A ball with feet?" Donny countered. "I think all the pixels in the world couldn't change that."
(Or, through a freak fluctuation in the multiverse, Kirby and Bandana Dee land smack in the middle of the turtles' lair instead of Arrival Point or Waddle Dee Town. The turtles, who have already experienced a multiversal crisis, are loathe to let such innocent-looking puffballs go back to a dimension that set off Donny's sensors and comes up as incredibly dangerous… even if they can't quite find the source of that danger yet.)
(Or, stupid fear of being cringe! I'm freaking balling!)

Summary
All three faces were strained and exhausted, but Leo was the one who bit the bullet. "Remember how Donny was sick before Renet showed up? He, uh…he still had an injury from when we had to fight off all those mutants from Bishop's failed 'invasion.'"
The dinosaur had a shell.
The "dinosaur" had a shell.
April's eyes locked onto the spiky carapace as her arms slowly reached up to encircle as much of it as she could. "Oh, God, Donny."
(Or, Donny's infection hits sooner than expected. It's unclear whether this is worse than canon or an improvement. Donny doesn't really have the presence of mind to care one way or the other.)

Summary
Leo and his family are taking Mikey out for a night on the town to celebrate his 21st birthday.
It just kinda sucks that, for all his planning to make sure none of his family was someplace they couldn't get backup in case something went screwy, he forgot that he might be the one who wound up needing backup.
(or, i was sexually harassed a week or two ago so i'm making leo go through The Horrors so we can both get The Catharsis.)

The Turtle Titan and the Overarching Cross by roseverdict

Summary
In the year 2012, in a universe where adult mutant ninja turtles have an impressive world-saving resume dating back to when they were just teenagers, Mikey has a scheduled patrol as his part-time hero persona, the Turtle Titan.
In the year 2018, in a universe where magic is always plucking at the edges of the world and where a supernatural library serves as both a pillar of reality and a safe place for powerful magical artifacts, the staff of that very library all look forward to what will hopefully be an uneventful day with no danger of any kind.
It sure would be a shame if an old enemy from someplace adjacent to the turtles turned up alive, well, and ready to cause multidimensional trouble.
