Some Sewer Donnie thoughts about the @tmntaucompetition and @rottmnt-au-summit
Consider this my own little bit of personal propaganda to kick this off with a bang! I’m having fun messing around with this stuff XD
Sewer AU and the Foot Leo AU belong to me
Red Rover AU belongs to @red-rover-au (it’s just a mention, sorry about tagging you buddy!)
Disarmed Neon aka Neon belongs to @phoenixdeleted
Subnautica Leo aka Sub belongs to @havendoesthings
Ghost Leo belongs to @wandering-ghost
And here’s your little context note: Sewer Raph doesn’t have his name yet and is simply referred to as the ‘Big Guy’.
Donnie tapped away at their holoscreen, face carefully blank as they stared at the matchups. This preliminary round was against a worthy opponent, a universe alteration of their counterparts in dimension 12 where there were five turtles instead of four. Donnie watched as the meter slowly ticked downwards toward a loss and sighed, hand flicking it to the next image. The matchups for the other competition they would be competing in. Almost all those AUs, Donnie knew, both personally and from their many hours of multidimensional research.
Their family didn’t need to know that Donnie wanted to know if things would’ve been better if they made a different choice- if it was them instead of their two brothers.
Their results were… inconclusive.
They sighed again, smiling down at the lineup. Donnie knew they would not survive, not against the Red Rover universe, possibly quite literally. Out of their entire family, only the Big Guy could potentially hold his own against trained super soldiers and even he wouldn’t last long.
Draxum would never let them live this down.
Donnie scoffed, announcing it to the world as they skimmed through the lineup, admiring all the universes that would be brought together. They wondered how the Big Guy would react to seeing the little ghost Leo (which was not disturbing at all to think about, their brother dead at only a few years old, something that Donnie knew was almost reality in their world), Sub and Neon again. Last time they had crossed paths, it was as enemies, fighting their way out of the death trap known as the Hunger Games.
And no, Donnie did not keep a closer eye on Neon because they were longing for a parent-aged adult figure in their life. They would never.
Their hand flicked the screen to the next page, a set of images showing up. Just for research, Donnie swore to themself, ignoring how the corners of their mouth curled up as they flicked between the images. Shenanigans between all these alternate versions of them and their family, random fires, T-Posing, strawberry jam everywhere.
They stopped on an image of the Big Guy, frowning at the camera, arms crossed as Neon wrapped an arm around his neck, pulling him close. The other arm was a prosthetic, curled around a strange version of Leo, Sub, who apparently came from an alien planet, with teeth attached to the metal. Neon was grinning despite himself, clearly holding the kid close with no problems, as another Leo sat on his shoulders, dressed in traditional Foot garments, the child had claimed.
Donnie didn’t know how to feel at the fact they had assumed this version of their brother had simply adapted to the Hamato Way.
It was a good photo, a happy photo.
These competitions were here for fun, nothing at stake as they could let loose and show off themselves, what made them unique and Donnie was loving every second of it. The adrenaline screaming through their veins, the overwhelming competitive desire to create, the constant interactions that made sense.
It was clear what everyone’s motive was.
They leaned back, shell hitting their Mikey’s side, allowing their younger sister to wrap and arm around them as she scritched at the Big Guy’s head, enjoying the comforting weight of their largest member. The Big Guy’s purring made Donnie want to fall asleep then and there, to nap the competitions away in the company of loved ones, but the nearby chittering changed their mind. Donnie looked up and met the eyes of their blue-clad brother that was refusing to settle on his older brother’s shell. The small slider kept walking around the spiked shell, talking the rest of the family’s ears and tympana off with those sounds.
It was honestly like watching a turtle kneed at a surface, unsatisfied with the quality of the product gifted to them.
As the turtle settled finally, draping himself over his brother’s shell and under Mikey’s hand still scritching away, allowing Donnie unlimited access to his head. The softshell huffed out a breath of air that was not a poorly disguised laugh thank you very much, lowering one arm from tapping away at the holoscreen to the more pressing matter at hand, their brother’s desire for scritches. Their other hand moved to clutch at Mikey’s arm wrapped around them and they couldn’t withhold the smile they had been hiding for so long.
This competition was an excuse to show off and bring people together, so right now, Donnie was going to show off their family and enjoy this, until they needed to be up and fighting again.
Leo cooed, melting under the touch as the family chuckled, delivering scritches to those that deserved them.
All of them deserved them.

Tentative Devotee AU (TBC Soon)
Leonardo is a Foot trainee, raised and trained by Lieutenant and Brute since he was 9. Life before then is fuzzy at best. — In the past several months, he's been going on his first proper missions, quickly aware of a persistent threat against the Foot Clan: 3 mutant turtles and a human who've foiled them time and time again.
What he wasn't aware of was that they were 4 siblings who never gave up on finding their missing brother.
CONTENT WARNING! This AU will explore: Mourning of family / Mourning of a child (who isn't actually dead, but believed to be). Violence is canon-typical up to the standards of the movie— That is also a reference point for the tone of this AU. There will be cult themes and dips into the topic of cult trauma, alongside family issues.

I didn't intend for this AU to be that big, but I realized I did want to give this a go and make at least something. It's my goal to finish this project eventually.
The AU will be told in segments, comics of various points of the story.
Bonus! Miscellaneous info that doesn't play big into this AU but matters enough to me:
Leonardo is transmasculine, uses he/they/xe pronouns and is referred to with primarily masculine terms.
A version of Stan Sakai's Usagi Yojimbo comics exists and it's Leo's second favorite comic series in this AU.
'Tentative Devotee' is the name of the fanfic I was originally going to write. It was just gonna be a 2-shot fic and a way to navigate some feelings as someone who was born and raised in, and eventually left, a cult.
The initial tone/direction of this AU was much different, Leo ending up in the Foot Clan under different circumstance (i.e. direct kidnapping from Lieutenant and Brute). I found this didn't quite work for me.
