Summary
Understanding the language of Legend is an art, not a science; it’s made up of contradictions and careful redirection, hidden behind bitter scowls and year-old layered walls. There are no rules to it, unlike any other dialect, and grasping the meanings of such subtle changes in posture and attitude is a process. A long one at that.
But it’s a language that so obviously wants to be learned, even if it acts the opposite. So it’s a good thing Warriors has extra time on his hands.

Summary
The turtles investigate a mysterious series of earthquakes under the city, only to find a cunning mutant at their heart. When things don't go to plan, the weight of the world rests on the shell of one turtle.
_______________________________You know those episode-starters with character voice-overs that open the first five seasons of the 2003 cartoon? Ammo_Writes suggested a trade of openings--Ammo writes one, I write one, and then we swap to complete the other person's story. Ammo wrote the teaser-opening for this fic, and I filled in the rest of the story. ❤️ (And for their fic, vice-versa!)

Tags
Summary
"Leo!? Leo!"
Mikey was screaming, and he flinched at how scared his little brother sounded. The innate need to comfort him kicked in, and Leo stepped forward, holding out his arms to him invitingly, smiling to let him know everything was alright.
“Hey, Mikey, what’s wrong-”
Mikey didn’t open his arms to hug him back.
Mikey ran through him.
Leo is cursed by a mystic whatever thingy. But don't worry guys, he's totally got this! Getting back into his body? Easy peasy.
(He hopes it will be easy peasy.)

Summary
They waited a while for Tails' handheld to pull its data from the telescope. All of a sudden the fox tensed up, furiously typing away. Overhead a second radar dish swiveled to match the first one they'd set up.
"Oh that can't be good." Rouge pulled her legs back from the roof's edge and moved to hover over Tails's shoulder.
"It's a distress signal," he breathed. "It's really weak- I don't think anyone would have noticed if we weren't already looking at the ARK."
"Wait the signal's coming from the ARK?" Amy gasped. "But- but there's nothing up there! Last time we went we cleared out most of the artificial Chaos, and that Biolizard guy's been gone for years! What up there could possibly be sending off a beacon?"
Rouge picked at her nails. "There might be something... actually."
Tails and Amy decide to go stargazing in the Mystic Ruins and make an accidental discovery that leads them back to the Space Colony: ARK. What they uncover could change everything they know about Shadow.

"Uh... hi?" Donnie attempted to sit up, but he found it difficult to move.
The man in front scowled at Donnie as he struggled. The brim of his ballcap cast a deep shadow over his face. "Mutant." He spat the word out like it tasted bitter.

The Last ARK by aisla229
Fandoms: Sonic the Hedgehog - All Media Types, Sonic the Hedgehog (Video Games)
21 May 2023
Tags
Summary
A freak accident involving a destroyed power generator in an Egg City spats Sonic far out of his own timeline. That's okay. Everything's okay. Sonic's dealt with time travel more times than... well, more than anyone should ever deal with really. So obviously he's going to get out of this before anyone can say “Sonic, you'll be the end of us!” again.
Doesn't matter that the ARK is back. Or that his blood changed color somehow. Or that the world is ending (ENDED, actually, if anyone cared to notice).
At least he still has his friends– some of his friends– okay, so maybe like two of his friends at his side... if you stretched the definition of friends a little. And also they don't remember him. And his memories might be fake. And everyone else wants him dead.
... Maybe this won't be so easy after all.

Summary
“I don’t think I’m ever gonna stop dreaming about it,” Mikey continues, after a long pause.
Leo doesn’t bother to ask what it is, because it’s something different for each of them. He doesn’t ask, because he doesn’t have to.

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.

Before Loki Odinson came his namesake: Loki Laufeyson, blood brother of Odin, locked away in a prison suspended in the void for his part in Baldr's death.
At least, until a means to escape his confinement falls in after him.
Thor keeps missing the subtle emphasis when Loki insists he isn't his brother.
Or: the one where Hela isn't the only family member that Odin banished and buried, the original Loki is back for revenge, and the Loki we all know has to team up with the Guardians of the Galaxy to stop him.

The Legend of Zelda: The Triforce Awakens by sillylildude

Summary
A knight destined to spend his entire life locked away in a tower, guarding his Kingdom's most precious relic. A Princess forbidden from practicing magic for fear of her overwhelming power. A sorcerer who once held high esteem in the Hyrulean court, scheming to take back that which he believes rightfully belongs to him. The fate of Hyrule rests in the hands of these three, entangled by the desire for power, the eternal fight between good and evil, and the bonds of a mysterious, divine power.
Alternate summary: I got inspired to write my own take on the 1989 Zelda cartoon.

“You can’t just call me bambino and not tell me what it means!” Wind protests, his energy renewed with vigor in light of Legend’s teasing.
“Who’s gonna stop me? You?” Legend ruffles his hair in good nature, grinning when Wind yelps and slaps his hand away. His pout grows as he attempts to fix the unruly mess of hair into just a mess of hair. “I don’t think so.”Bookmarked by beetlebugdotexe

Summary
“Welcome home, my sons, and—” Splinter's whiskers perk forward abruptly as two more purple-masked heads emerge from the water. “—my sons?”
“Long story,” Donnie says, shaking some of the water from his boots. “Short version goes something like this: mysterious bad guys, creepy abandoned warehouse, experiments with alien technology, portals to other dimensions, encounters with alternate selves, alternate selves in mortal peril, yada yada yada, alternate selves pulled into home dimension in Hail Mary pass to keep matrix of known multiverse from collapsing, unfortunate twist of circumstance trapping said alternate selves here for the time being.”
“Plus,” Mikey adds, “these dudes were getting the short end of the ninja stick from our douchebag alternate selves, and we really, really thought they’d be better off with us.”

Summary
In the years following their brothers' deaths, Leo and Mikey are accidentally transported to a dimension mirroring their own, except here Raph and Donnie survived the apocalypse.
Or
Before future Mikey became the one we see in ROTTMNT the movie, he tried to hone his skills and accidentally got Leo and him stuck in 2012's universe, where Donnie and Raph both survived the Mutant Bomb and now wanders the wasteland trying to survive. Seeing alternate versions of your dead brothers certainly is weird, right?

Summary
Raphael has ALL his brothers, just not in the same place. In a wrenching tragedy, Raphael’s world is ripped into two pieces. Pulled back and forth between two different realities, one with Leo and Donnie and another with Mikey and Donnie, can he keep his grip on each?
****************************************
And then Raph was in the air, and he had—he had—timed it right. He was reaching for Leo and Mikey, and they were reaching for him, arm in arm. Their hands stretched up to where he now flew above them, their eyes trusting—even in this pepto-bismol colored nightmare. They had this just like they had always had each other. Just like they had never, never failed. Not when it mattered. Not in these moments. He would use his momentum and pull them to safety. It would be a hard landing, he knew. A crash landing. It would hurt. But they’d be hurt together, and then laugh about it and groan and complain and go home.All he had to do was grab their hands.
