yay another apocalypse fic <33
this time from s2e3 (i think, i'll fact check when i finish the fic lmao) of twdg ✌️
“Hey, do you think you could fly over those walls?” Tails shushed the girl. That wasn’t something they could discuss right now. “What? Is that not–” “What’s this about flying?” The gray wolf asked, stomping over to the two kids. The fox rolled his eyes. “None of your business.” He said, glaring at the older. The wolf’s own eyes narrowed at the kit, his left paw tightening on his rifle as his right reached for a walkie talkie strapped to his belt. “Tell Tracy to clear up his office. He’s getting a guest.” “Excuse me?” Tails stepped away from the wolf, nudging Mariana back as well. His eyes were trained on the other’s movements, trying to anticipate his next move. “C’mon. You need to pay big man a visit.” The teen said, reaching to grab the fox’s arm. “He’s not going anywhere with you.” Knuckles decided, paws curled into a fist as he moved to stomp over. Ryan stopped him with a hand on his shoulder. “It’ll be worse for him if you fight against it.” He mumbled, looking over to the kit. “Just go, kid. He won’t do anything to someone your age.” “You just said it’d be worse for me.” Tails grumbled, but sighed and stepped towards the wolf. “Just get it over with.” “Tails–” “I’ll be fine, Knuckles.”

𝐅𝐑𝐀𝐆𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐒 𝐎𝐅 𝐓𝐎𝐌𝐎𝐑𝐑𝐎𝐖.
DAY NINE OF HAUNTED HOEDOWN
prompt: zombie apocalypse au + "every moment might be our last, let's make the most of it."
pairing: tasm!peter parker x f!reader
genre: explicit smut, minors dni, angst with happy-ish ending
summary: After a massive ecological disaster, the world is overrun by mutated flora and fauna, along with infected humans that sprout vines and flowers. Nature itself has turned against humanity, and you thought Peter would be by your side. That Spider-Man would protect you and those close to you—you never thought you'd be wrong in both aspects. But now he's back, and you don't know how to react.
word count: 1.8k
warnings: arguing, death/grief, brief mention of readers little sister dying, angst, peter is still spiderman in this, emotional sex, piv
a/n: to be completely honest I don't actually think peter would just leave you to fend for yourself in this situation but I really wanted some angsty arguing and this is all I could come up with fgbgfb
Tumblr media
The word had gone to shit. You lost everything while seeking refuge. Your friends, your family—everyone. Nature had claimed what was hers violently, poisoning those who came close and changing them as she saw fit. It was beautiful, yet horrifying. Petals sprouted from skin like daisies, eyes replaced by fuzzy pistils as the skull slowly bloomed into beautiful large petals. These were called bloomspawns and they walked aimlessly, looking for their next target to rid the world of humans once and for all. 
New York had quickly became a mess. Planes crashing and humans running over each other to get away. You were amongst them, hand in hand with your sister, trying to find safety. 
Peter was with you then, which meant Spider-man was with you and you felt safe. 
But then he left. Soon after, you lost everyone one by one, your sister’s death hurting you the most. You couldn’t protect her, and she was still young, muscles not strong enough to outrun a bloomspawn. You had to put a bullet in her before she turned and saw nightmares still. He’d said he had to help and that it was happening all around the world. You knew Peter was smart, which meant he needed both his brains and his brawn. 
Some part of you believed there was another reason for his sudden departure, you saw fear in his eyes the day before when you were almost killed—it was the fear of history repeating itself, that you would die too, taking another part of his heart. 
Now, you’re alone. Not a person or any other being in sight as you walk through the ruins of the city you once called home. The chill of the night slowly settles as the sun sinks into the horizon. You’re looking for shelter, any place that can be safe enough for you to spend the night. A soft sigh parts your lips. You’re not even sure why you’re trying to be completely honest, the apocalypse wouldn’t be ending anytime soon. 
Deep in thought, you don’t hear someone moving with haste above the rubble of concrete. 
It all happens in a flash. A covered hand clamps over your mouth, halting the scream that threatens to bubble from your throat, you thrash within the solid embrace of the stranger, attempting to kick him but his legs always seemingly out of reach. You can’t reach your gun or your knife and this time you’re certain death is near—
“Shhh it’s me—it’s me. Peter.”
Peter? 
The grip around you loosens a bit when your struggle slows and becomes nonexistent. You’re breathing heavily, shoulders still tense and untrusting. “Peter Parker,” he clarifies, clearing his throat. “Don’t know why I just said Peter, as if there’s not a million of us.” 
His hand finally falls away from your mouth but he’s still holding you flush against his body, your back pressed firmly against his chest. 
“Peter?” you say, almost brokenly. “You’re. . . here?” 
You part away to turn around and he lets you. He doesn’t have the mask on but is wearing the red and blue suit. Your heart somersaults, body caught between a deep yearning and violent anger. He smiles as your gaze meets his but the expression quickly flickers and disappears. The sky above you transitions into twilight, painting the horizon with a mesmerizing palette of deep purples and shades of dark blue. You wrap your arms around yourself, tearing your gaze away from him. 
“Where the fuck have you been?” you ask, voice soft and silent despite the words. “I needed you with me, Peter.” 
Peter attempts to take a step forward and stops when he sees your arms tightening around yourself, “You know why,” he says, knowing well it’s a weak excuse. “They needed me. We’re so close to a cure.” 
You almost want to laugh, what good is a cure when you’ve lost everything. 
“Everyone’s dead, Peter,” you finally look at him, challenging the comfort he came to offer after abandoning you. Venom drips from every word. “She’s fucking DEAD, Peter!” 
You do walk up to him then. Full of rage and bloodlust. You push him away but he barely moves, his eyes gradually moving between your face and your balled fists. “It’s your fault!” you shout again, side-fists hitting his chest. You know he doesn’t feel it. That you’re not strong enough to hurt him—and you don’t want to hurt him, but you’re just so mad. “Sarah’s dead because of you! B—Because of me.” 
You break down and your knees give way, you manage to remain upright just in time for Peter to hold you, wrapping strong arms around you as you begin to sob into his chest. 
You’re shaking, nose stuffed, and throat raw. No matter how many times you blame Peter, it was your fault too, you had to share the blame. He holds you tight, biceps tensing every time you dare to move away from him. He cradles the back of your head, lips touching your forehead. 
“It’s not your fault,” he mutters. “If you want to blame someone blame me. I’m the asshole who left. I was the one afraid and bolted the first chance I got. You’re a survivor, unlike me—I’m truly sorry. I never meant for this to happen.” 
“She really liked you, you know?” you answer, ignoring all that he said. Your voice bounces off of his chest. “She believed you would come for us. That there was no way you would just leave and if you did, it had to be for something great.” 
Peter doesn’t answer and you continue, “If you found a cure, I guess she was right.” 
“I should have never left you or her,” he says, tilting your head up from your chin. A soft gasp parts your lips. Your anger melts away, leaving yearning and want to fill the void it left behind. The whites of his eyes are stained with red, glimmering with unshed tears. You hold his face between your hands and pull him close until your lips brushes upon his. You almost smile as you hear Peter’s breath hitch, a sound that you’ve missed so dearly. 
His lips meet yours halfway. His kiss is a lifeline in a world that's fallen apart, a fragile connection to a time when things were simpler, when your sister's laughter filled the air, and the bloomspawns were nothing more than weeds underneath your feet. The taste of his lips is just like you remember. Sweet, tender. You want to give every part of yourself to him. Every inch, every scar, every wound. 
You pull him closer, fingers tangled in the tattered remnants of his suit, as if trying to hold onto the past, to the world that once was where Spider-man was enough to save the day. 
Peter responds in kind, his kiss deepening with the tilt of his head. You feel his tongue tracing the seam of your lips and you part for him with a soft whimper. He licks himself into your mouth, tongues moving in unison, your body rapidly grows hot. Arousal pools between your legs and he swallows all the tiny noises that you make, his hands deftly moving over your body. 
Everything happens so quickly. You two find a small room that is solid enough to keep you safe for the night, not that you’re worried when Peter is around, he strips your quickly, kissing every patch of exposed skin as he lays you upon the old dusty bed. Your hand moves down between his legs, feeling the heft of him through the thin fabric while he sucks on your neck with an insatiable hunger. Peter groans into your skin and ruts into your palm. 
“Been so long,” he whispers, pulling back to look at you. “I’ve missed you, I don’t deserve you.” 
You kiss him again, long and deep and before you know it he’s pulling away. He shreds himself from his suit and climbs between your already spread legs with his cock in his hand, “Why?” he chokes out. 
"Every moment might be our last,” you smile despite yourself, your grief momentarly forgotten thanks to him. “Let's make the most of it."
You swear you see his pupils dilate. He strokes and spreads the beading precome all over his length. He lines himself up with you, the head of his cock teasing your entrance. 
“I really need to be inside you right now,” he murmurs against your lips. “Is that okay?” 
“Yes,” you gasp, back arching. “Peter, please—” 
Your plea is enough for him to press forward, burying himself wholly with one smooth thrust. Your cheeks heat up at how wet you are and how easy your body made it for him. Experimentally, Peter pulls back and sinks into the tight fist of your heat again, wet sounds echoing from where you two connect. 
“Holy shit, baby,” he groans, eyelids fluttering. “Are you this wet for me?” 
He doesn’t wait for your answer and fucks himseld deeper into you. Peter’s movements are sloppy and full of need, an ache you’ve been feeling all this time when you were apart from him. Your breathing is labored and your chest heaves with the effort of his thrusts. But his rhythm is perfect, hitting all the right spots within you, as if he'd memorized the map of your body after all the times before. Your body trembles against him as pleasure builds within. 
He nibbles your neck and teases your skin with his fingers and kisses, pushing you that much further. He rocks his hips forward, making the bed move along with you, your body dripping for him. 
Your fingers curl against his skin and your eyes close in delight. You sense Peter straining. You nearly wrap your legs around his waist wanting to feel him in your deepest parts but he pulls out. He presses his sweaty forehead against yours, his chest eheaving as he fucks his fists. He shudders on top of you, thick ropes of come dripping down his fingers and onto your stomach. A shiver crawls up your spine. You arch your back, letting out a moan of your own as he continues to stain your skin. 
When he’s done, you expect him to wrap his arms around you, but you’re pelasantly surprised as Peter moves down your body, lifting both your legs above his shoulder. His warm breath tickles your soaked pussy, forcing the clench of muscle. 
“Did you think I would leave you hanging?” he asks, tone playful. “Fuck, I’ve missed your taste so bad.” 
Your eyes roll back as his tongue licks between your folds. In that moment, nothing else matters. Jut him and you, in this room, hoping that this broken world would soon heal.
No matter what the future brings, you know you are safe in the arms of your Spider-Man.

Crimson’s hand tapped against his thigh rhythmically as he took a deep breath. He wouldn’t say that he was unhappy being here, watching this competition, but it was even harder than it usually was for him to forget his situation.
There were so many versions of himself and his family here, exact versions. Don- Cerulean said they were from “bifurcated time branches”. Whatever that meant. Most were younger, but some were closer to the family he knew. The one he left behind.
Smack!
His head shot up, eyes landing directly on a smiling Cerulean. He looked to where he was smacked at the top of his plastron and found a sticker that said ‘VOTE FOR GHOST’. He heaved another sigh. Well, the relative peace was nice while it lasted, he supposed.
“What is this?” He pointed to the sticker.
“That, my dear brother, is a sticker promoting one of the competitors. Turns out that ‘Ghost’ is a temporal variant of our young Donatello. As such, Mike and I entered us into the cul-… I mean.. club dedicated to this turtle and his kids.”
Crimson gave him the ‘Big Brother Look’, “Donnie… It’s not really a club, is it?”
Donnie made that guilty face that he always did when he was caught doing something he wasn’t supposed to. To his credit, though, he didn’t start sweating this time. Donnie opened his beak to defend himself, but was cut short by the newly-familiar voice of Don.
“Hey guys!”
The younger turtle was walking towards them, flanked by his brothers and wearing a cloak. He noticed Mike had a mischievous smile on his face. Oh boy. Were they sure he wasn't secretly a Leo?
When Don reached them, he flipped the hood up and flared the cloak. He was grinning almost ear to ear. “Guess who I am?”
Now that Crimson thought about it, he looked almost exactly like the turtle from all the posters. He chuckled and rubbed Don’s head affectionately.
“Hmm. Are you… that Emperor Palpatine guy?”
Mike and Raphie laughed while Lee tried to hide a giggle behind his hand. Don scowled and crossed his arms, but there was very little weight behind it. “Ha ha. Hilarious.”
Crimson gave him a pat on the shell, “You know I’m just messin’ with you, big guy. That is a pretty cool Ghost cosplay.”
“Also, those shorts are a nice touch, I must say. The foam must be very comfortable.” Cerulean added from beside him, sporting a slight smirk.
“Yeah. They are comfortable, act-… Foam?”
Don turned to the side and looked down, moving the cloak out of the way. Lo and behold, he was wearing a pair of purple shorts that had a foam butt. The words ‘GHOST CULT’ were printed on the backside.
Don stared flabbergasted for a moment before turning to Mike.
“When the shell did you give me ass shorts?!”
Mike bursted out cackling. Raphie gave Don an awkward and confused look.
“Donny. Bro. Did you seriously not notice?”
“No?!”
Mike tried to shuffle away, but Don caught him by the shell and started dragging him away. “You’re not getting away that easy, Mikey. Let’s see what kind of ridiculous clothes we can put you into.”
“Nooo… Don! It was a joke, come on!”
——————————————
Since this au (Brains & Brawn 2^) was inspired by @amevello-blue’s Ghost in the Shell, I figured it’d make sense to make the boys part of the Ghost Cult.
The main gist of Brains & Brawn 2^ is that instead of dying in the apocalypse, Rise future Raph (Crimson) and future Donnie (Cerulean) got sent to the 03 dimension instead. Over time they become the big bros/uncles to their younger counterparts.
Anyways vote for Ghost in the Shell in the @tmntaucompetition!

What's your favorite au and duo
Hmmm Rottmnt Au… well Cass Apocalypse Au is a classic imo a happy ending for all the boys but there’s some really fun au’s out there like @tizeline separated Au, @chessman-protocol ‘s Covert au and @cokoweee’s dragon turtle aka Kendratello Au all of which I’ve been keeping a close eye on for updates haha.
As for favourite Duo that one’s a hard one, I think I’m gonna go with Brains and Brawn. Something about Raph trying to be a good older brother and protect everyone and Donnie’s “who needs protection if there’s nothing left to protect us from!?” Vibes… it’s just a good time all around. True chaotic fun.
Pb and J are a close second though. <3

4402's zombie au notes and commentary
so obviously i started thinking about this au for this request but let me tell u! when it comes to big aus like these one of the best starting points for me is to think about the worldbuilding. which i guess always happens with me, but the thoughts i had on how the characters translate to an apocalypse setting plus not abiding by other media rules on zombies was simply too much to think about that couldn't get covered in that fic! so here u go! free brainrot material! obvious spoilers for that fic btw
i didn't want to tie myself down with the mechanics of zombies, esp ones we already know from other media like the walking dead or whatever. so a lot of the terminology here is vague. the "outbreak" can refer to an illness just as well as an infection or mutation or even an invasive species, but the important part is that it's highly contagious, kills, and then regenerates the body FAST once it comes in contact with blood
on that note. it is confirmed topical/parenteral contact with the zombie spreads the condition, but when reader tastes the blood on their face in the final scene, uh, bad news for them, oral administration/digestion would not end well
every character has a role in their party. shu is the brains (and was a lot more of a support than leader before the events of the fic), while luca is the brawn. vox and ike are doers- vox is an active presence and throws himself into danger, while ike stays behind and makes sure the little details run smoothly. mysta was the moral compass that made sure everyone's spirits were high enough to avoid conflict. and reader is an observer. they usually intake information faster than the rest of the crew, and know how to perceive when things aren't adding up
every character has a weapon, and i wanted these to be more unconventional ones to really hone in the apocalypse theme. i almost gave vox a machete but i figured that's only something rural homeowners would have on hand (i wanted everyone's origins to be vague so this fic is more relatable) and also, it's a little too on the nose, no? besides, using a rebar ripped from a broken building? that's metal as fuck
when i started the fic shu was entirely an improvised weapon guy. lots of disposable things. the molotov was a reference to his fire sorcery, and millwall bricks are made entirely from newspaper. as i continued i realized he needed something consistent, so he got a fire poker as another reference to his lore
luca is the only person with two weapons, a shotgun and a spiked bat. he's the muscle after all! i tried to veer away from lore bc obviously some luxiem would have a huge advantage if they had, say, demonology or curses available. but i will say it's probs canon he's been around the block at least, no comment on if he was actually a mafioso or not. either way. he's the only one there that really understands firearms and how to stay calm until you really need it, and the spiked bat is his default. it's brutal and easy to use
reader uses two climbing picks. i'm not totally sure why, but for the past few months i've been enamored with climbing picks as a weapon. watching the new puss and boots last month didn't help either. they're like sickles, but less difficult to use since they aren't as curved. and they're practical outside of a fight too! this is the important part about why reader uses them. they're observant. sure, there's more conventional weapons in the party, but the picks are multiuse, and can get you out of a pinch, like how you and vox scaled the townhouse to escape. total bummer you were trapped underground, though
ike... okay. i'm not immune to eki. and it's just that he pairs so well with knives, no matter how hard i tried i always came back to them! more specifically how he has a set, not just one. the others don't come into play but he has a full set of kitchen knives- the others, he meticulously cleans and uses when preparing food or shelter. the largest chef's knife is dedicated for zombie slaying, and the cleaver can cut through bone. you have to use force to use a cleaver correctly. it's impractical for when a zomb's in your face, but give him the time and he can confirm none of them rise again. one of the may ways he stays in the background and makes sure everything is going to plan even when his assistance isn't really flashy
i never wrote him using it but mysta had a woodcutter's hatchet. he also chose his weapon for practicality like reader and ike. however, if you know anything about realistic axe fighting, it's that woodcutter axes are wildly different from fighting axes. the former is extremely heavy while the other is light. once you swing with a woodcutter's hatchet you can't stop. he was looking for a lighter alternative before the townhouse incident, like a proper weapon or a fireman's hatchet, but. well. um
mysta himself is more of a concept than a character in this fic. he definitely had a presence in the party before the events but there's a reason he never had any dialogue. he represents the morale of the party just as much as he does the unreachable sun. "because mysta died" is an unspoken motivation for just about everything the characters do in this fic, and his name becomes synonymous with a peaceful afterlife after hell on earth. when the characters can't even utter his name, it's because that peace is so far away they can't possibly fathom it
the luxiem + reader dynamic was way more lighthearted before mysta's death. it wasn't all joy, because hello, zompocalypse! but it was enough. his death is what kickstarts the animosity, as well as the trauma responses of the rest of the guys. ike's is mentioned by reader a few times and shu's grief is a source of tension but the rest of luxiem wasn't as focused on
vox is characterized with this heroic, "it's up to me to make things right" type of savior complex. mysta's death is the first time things have gone so horribly wrong, and the way that he sees it is like, "i watched him get swarmed, and if i could watch him then i could've ran and fought. my inaction is the reason why he died". even the way he breaks the news to shu and the gang is presentational because he detaches himself from reality for this whole hero thing, even though he doesn't recognize it himself. he's very dramatic. but he also deflects emotion in pursuit of action, like telling shu to set the townhouse on fire, and ignoring reader's concern over him. his last action is attempting to save reader and ike even when he knows there's nothing he can do, and all he has to show for it is his hand getting crushed by a piece of rubble that falls on it
i am VERY PROUD of how i wrote luca. which is to say i didn't write him at all. his characterization is invisible and that's what makes me so happy about it! i feel awful for him them most out of anyone here! vox witnessed mysta get swallowed up by the horde but luca was there with mysta the entire time, and when mysta sacrificed himself so luca can live, luca froze in shock and fear. he never gets over that moment. and luxiem doesn't mean to exclude him, but they're so worried over shu's meltdown and what to do next and this and that to read how mixed all his feelings are on it. vox is fixated on protecting him, and when he's in shock ike hides luca's vision so he's the only one that doesn't see mysta's silhouette in the townhouse before it goes up in flames. i... don't want to give away the answer, i'm sure rereading will identify it, but there's this one line of dialogue that sums up everything he's going through perfectly, and even reader the observer doesn't notice it like how he wants it to be noticed. my heart bleeds for him. when the ceiling collapses reader is struck by how he freezes, and it's a reprise of mysta's death for him. he's not getting over that either. after all he's the muscle but what good is muscle if it can't move?
shu,,,,,, if there's anything that i can say it's that he's not trying to be the villain. he had to mercy kill his brother in one of the most brutal ways imaginable, and then had to speedrun the five stages of grief because someone needs to lead this team. vox tries to lead just as much as shu does, but luca makes a good point. i don't think shu hates them at all. he's a very mama-bear type of character. he has a clear vision in mind of what he wants the path to look like, and anything outside of his vision is uncertain and thus dangerous. but luca makes a good point, and how malicious it's intended to be, i can't say, but he shuts down vox and luca a lot. he would never admit it during the events of the fic but there is a very ugly, very cavernous part of his soul that wants to blame someone, plural
so reader and ike are dead right. those two were the most mentally healthy(?) of the group, or at least, the ones that could help the group manage stress the best. now all that's left is vox, who hates himself for failing to save his friends three times now; shu, who already wasn't taking mysta's death well and certainly isn't going to do any better with the latest casualties; and luca, who everyone wants to protect and no one wants to listen to, and can barely get a word in between shu and vox's fights, and knows he doesn't have the instinct to act when it matters. i wish i had the clarity of mind to see and write their travel together. two of them were already at each other's throats, and the third is about ready to snap. i wish i could tell you how they destroy one another
there were so many points in this fic where i had to ask myself, am i going too far? this happens often, especially with angst, especially with romantic x readers. sometimes i wish i could describe ugliness! snot from crying and screaming so hard you retch in chunks, contortion, all that noise! when i get an opportunity to describe gore i fuckin' take it because that's pretty grody but in a hot bloodshed way. lots of other nastiness isn't very attractive, though, and the point of romantic x readers is to be attractive. so these "should i take a step back" moments really come in through with shu's breakdown, which was written to be as visceral and scathing and uncomfortable as possible. in early-early planning mysta was originally intended to been bitten and turned as you would expect, but the fire was added to it promptly to continue the plot- and when i wrote it, i felt so awful, it was such a brutal way to go out. that's when i figured i just need to commit to the thought, make things feel raw and tangible instead of manicured, and that i'd just be generous with tags. i'm very glad i stayed committed. even though i had to take so many mini breaks in ike's final moments to just look up and mutter to myself "man i'm so fucked up for this one". i'm also very glad that i knew reader would've blacked out and repressed the memory of killing ike, because i did say earlier, cleavers cut through bone. i love a good bloodfest but i think i gotta draw the very-far-away line at ike's head split apart, hotdog not hamburger

Hi! My names Doctorqueue, but y’all can call me Que or Queue! I’m an illustrator (not professionally LOL), and have been drawing fanart pretty much my entire life. I have ocs too but I’m not sure if I’ll post them here or not~.
My most recent special interest has been Rottmnt/TMNT! (Go to Insta for The Bad Batch stuff :3). I have few au’s I’ve come up with, can’t promise I’ll make stuff for all of them I’ve set up tags n stuff for the one I’m most confident I’ll continue :).

[Babysitters Turtle Club]

Fandom specific tags and more info about my au below cut!
Info about au!!
[Babysitters Turtle Club]
Summary: 
Takes place in the ‘87 Universe in 1997, 6yrs after the show is finished (may be inaccurate to canon! Haven’t finished ‘87 yet). Both the Rise boys and ‘12 Boys come from 2009 in their respective universes. The Rise and ‘12 Kids are together for about a week b4 they are found by the ‘87’ Turtles, that week actually being spent in the 2012 universe. Lil Donnie was nearly finished on a device to communicate with Rise Splinter, before he and the rest of the kids ended up in the 1987 world. ‘12 Splinter gets it to work and keeps in contact with Rise Splinter, they’re worried sick but seen as the Rise boys where sent straight to ‘12 Splinter they are hoping that something similar happened with both of their kids. I want them to not know what’s going on at first but I also don’t want this au to be too angsty, hence the Splinters being able to communicate pretty much straight away. 1 1/2 months in The Donnie’s have found a way to commincate with the other Splinters! though they can’t send the kids back until some science-y thing is stable, which will be in 2 months. The whole thing lasts about 3 1/2 months. I think the 2012 Kraang will be responsible, which is why little 12yr old Donnie could make a communication device to the rise universe so quickly but 1987 Donnie couldn’t.
Character info:
(1987 Boys)
‘Leonardo’ 26yrs old
‘Donatello’ 25yrs old (SLIGHTLY older)
‘Rapheal’ 25yrs old (SLIGHTLY younger)
‘Michelangelo’ 24yrs old
‘87 Brains&Brawn are twins in anything I draw them in btw
(2012 boys)
‘Leo’ 12yrs old (oldest)
‘Raph’ 12yrs old (second oldest)
‘Donnie’ 12yrs old (second youngest)
‘Mikey’ 12yrs old (youngest)
(Rise Boys)
‘Red’ 6yrs old
‘Blue’ 5yrs old
‘Purple’ 5yrs old
‘Orange’ 4yrs old
I thiiiink I’m leaning towards Leo being the older twin, but they wouldn’t find out until Donnie double checks their ages with ✨science✨ when they’re a little older. So it isn’t super relevant to this au.
Additional tags: #Papaphael (I have a soft spot for little Purple and Dad Rapheal, I’m p sure the ‘hc all ur fav characters as being autistic’ compulsion is def rubbing off on ‘87 Raph hsfsbjsbheb)

So! I've talked about Donnie in the Unstoppable force vs immovable object AU.. how about I do Mikey next! This post probably won't be as long as the last for a few diff reasons but hopefully it provides some insight into Mikey in this AU. [Coming back after finishing this post.. Pretty sure it's longer lmao]
Leos death hits all of the brothers hard. For over a month Mikey loses his bubbly charm. For over a month, he stops constantly being optimistic. It's hard to do that when you're grieving. It takes him longer then that one month to process and accept Leo's death, but he's the first of the brothers to do so. It helps that he's more in tune with the mystic and knows Leo's still out there.
After that month he starts to notice how Donnie is drifting slightly. He's staying in his lab more, he's showing up less at meals, and god only knows how much sleep he's getting. Mikey knows why, of course. He understands. he puts a smile back on his face for his brothers. He keeps Donnie from drifting too far, making sure he knows that he is there for him. And he does his best to keep Raph from blaming himself. He's not the only thing keeping the favor together, but he's sure as hell strengthening those bonds as much as he can. He's not always happy, but he keeps smiling.
The apocalypse takes a toll on everyone. But it hits Mikey extra hard. He refuses to keep to his limits when it comes to his mystic powers, which takes a toll on his body. But he doesn't let it stop him. He juggles his responsibilities as a prominent figure in the rebellion with making sure his family is alright. Well, as alright as anyone can be given the situation. Despite the toll they take on his body, he constantly trains his mystic powers. He ends up by far the strongest of the trio in that aspect. Donnie may have brains, and Raph may have brawn, but neither can truly compare to Mikey's razzmatazz.
One day, as he's out on a rather routine patrol with Raph and Donnie, disaster strikes. While taking a path on the outskirts of their territory, they get ambushed. Krang emerge from their hiding places behind debris and in the shadows. Nothing they can't handle though, right? Just some minor krang minions. They had long since gotten used to shredding these things like paper. But then, in the middle of the fight, Mikey hears Raph shout. The old apartment building they happened to be fighting next to was crumbling. No. it was falling. In no doubt a deliberate move by the krang, the building was careening twords the ground. Twords the brothers. Raph tries to hold the building up using his ninpo. But it's too heavy. One arm fades, then another, then he's back on the ground at his regular size. Donnie was chasing off the remnants of the krang that had just attacked the trio. Mikey sees his opportunity. He knows what he has to do. In a fascinating display of power, he uses countless glowing orange chains to stop the building midair. He feels his arms light up with pain. He shouts for Donnie and Raph to run. Raph refuses to leave him there. But he insists. Raph knows what Mikey is doing. Mikey begs Donnie to take Raph and go. And he does. Donnie's battle shell sends them retreating through the air. And as they escape, the building falls behind them.
