Summary
"But he’s hiding something, still. Leo’s as good at seeing the hidden as he is at hiding himself, silent and unseen as a shadow, as he is at hiding what he doesn’t want to be seen, swallowed down and invisible. As ninja, the darkness is what keeps them safe. It’s hard to trust broad daylight, but sometimes that is still what they need to do."

Summary
“Ooh, like that guy in a horror movie!” he interjects, fully sitting up now. “When he wakes up from a nightmare and then bam! Spots the monster in the bathroom mirror or something, because he never woke up for real and he’s still in the nightmare.”
“Exactly!” Donnie beams and Mikey – despite how abso-super-lutely and straight up horrifying this theory is – gives himself a second to feel a little proud he figured it out.
“Great,” Raph groans. “So we’re the idiots in a horror movie. Just great.”-
when you can't be sure whether you're truly awake and the nightmares keep turning worse, it's up to mikey to save his brothers. but for that, he has to wake up first.
or, darkness within but with an extra serving of grief

Summary
" In Raph’s arms, Donnie stirs.
“What… what does he mean violent transformation?” he asks, in a voice so low Raph barely hears it. But he does. He kind of wishes he didn’t.
“Uhh… It’s a long story.” He carefully rubs his brother’s shell and it’s wrong. It’s wrong and rough and raw and Donnie’s scutes twist in unrecognizable patterns under his fingers. Raph keeps rubbing his shell comfortingly and rooting himself in the desperate hope that it’ll be back to normal with time and their next shedding. “Tell ya when we get home, okay?” "-
after his secondary mutation, donnie's recovering. everyone's unsteady and on edge, home is not home, and raph... he's handling it, okay?

“Dude, you have a lake?” asked Mikey with wide eyes last winter when they first came to the farmhouse.
“’S not a lake, just a duck pond,” Casey said with a shrug. “But it ain’t got no ducks.”-
it's a post-alien invasion, post-Mikey almost getting dissected, post-mind probe farmhouse vacation and Donnie has a lot on his mind

Summary
"The grey of evening is lit up with daylight-brightness, brief as a nuclear flash, and it brings change, a shifting in the world. The white-hot burns colors into Splinter's eyes and they don't go away when he blinks, blue just turns purple, bleeds into red, brightens to orange, and among flashes of colors, he sees dragons."

Summary
When Sam came home, there was a feather in Pippin’s cap, a horn on Merry’s hip. All Sam had was a box of dirt with one large, smooth seed tucked inside. Even in Mordor, Sam had only been fighting for the Shire. He spent the rest of his life helping things grow.
Let’s talk about Sam crying over rabbit stew, because a brace of coneys had been a spot of luck, once; because even then, even when he still had his pots and his pans, when Frodo had not yet snarled at him and told him to go– Mr. Frodo had still been gone too far by then to ever come back again.
Rosie, who did not cry easy, chopped onions so he would not be the only one with wet cheeks to scrub off. She asked him about herbs and spices, about stirring and cooking times, about what loaf would go best with it all. Sam said, “Rosemary, tarragon.” Part of him still rang against the greening metal of a copper pot dropped down a chasm and left somewhere on the edges of Mordor, but she saw him breathe deep and reach for thyme.
(a story for Rosie Cotton)

Summary
Their little band of conspirators was rich with loyalty and stout hearts, but Merry had been the one to make the preparations, to list out and discreetly purchase supplies and provisions; he was the one who had lain awake in his bed night after night in the months leading up to Frodo's departure from Bag End, making sure he hadn't forgotten anything that would be wanted.
All his meticulous planning was being dismantled piece by piece in front of him. There was a stranger in their company. And he could not scrub the feeling of evil hands from his skin.

Summary
“Gandalf is going to turn me into a weasel,” Pippin told Boromir. “I shall need a pocket to ride in. May I borrow yours?”
Boromir blinked. “Oh,” he said. “Ohh. Yes, certainly, so long as you are a weasel-sized weasel and not a hobbit-sized weasel.”
Pippin turned to Gandalf, caught by this new idea. “Can you make me into a hobbit-sized weasel?”
“For mercy's sake,” said Gandalf.
In which Pippin has approximately sixty uninterrupted leagues to find out everything that can be found out from Gandalf and gets approximately sixty times more than he bargained for.
