    Summary

    “Time?” Mikey asked.

    Leo had stolen a watch off a Krangified human a couple months back. After a thorough wash with clean water (Donnie insisted), he’d been permitted to strap it to his wrist. “Almost four. Gonna have to wait out the rain, so we might as well have Meal Three while we’re here.”

    “I wish you’d call it dinner,” Mikey sighed.

    “I will not,” Leo replied. “It’s the apocalypse. I’m taking every opportunity to define the slang of the era.”

    “Sue me for wanting a little normalcy, Leon.”

    “If our meal times were normal…” Donnie began.

    “Yeah, yeah.” Mikey dropped his bag off his shoulder and dug through it. “How’s everyone feel about a nice tomato and oregano dinner?”

    “Chef’s choice,” Raph rumbled exhaustedly.

    The world just ended?!?! Oh no! Three months into the Krang Apocalypse, the battered Hamato brothers pick their way through the desolate, ravaged remains of New York, scavenging for food and supplies as they try to stay alive long enough to beat the Krang. Spoiler: they definitely won’t beat the Krang.

    Or: the shitty lives of the Bad Future bros BEFORE their Future got Bad. The Shmedium-Bad Future, if you will.

    Summary

    “I’m very busy today, so I can’t be looking after you!” Snork said, bustling about with blueprints bundled in his arms. “I will need the whole house for this stage of my invention! I can’t be tripping over you and your silly toys. Go outside and play.”

    It would be a waste of breath to tell him that she was much too old to ‘go outside and play’, so muttering many rude things to herself, Snorkmaiden went out for the day.

    It was a lovely spring afternoon, but with Snork being such a fink, she could hardly enjoy it. Perhaps she would see if Moomintroll wanted to do something – he was sort of supposed to be her boyfriend, after all. Although it was sometimes hard to tell how much of it was playing pretend and how much of it was real. On days like this, when she felt down and grumpy and Snork had been cruel to her, she rather suspected it was the former.

    No, she didn’t want to go to Moominhouse today. It was no good, going to your boyfriend when you were upset. Boyfriends were no help at all.

    Snorkmaiden has the day to herself, and something to prove.

    Summary

    Part of him knows Dutch and Hosea are getting frustrated about the lack of progress on finding the Braithwaite’s gold or the Gray’s treasure or whatever the hell it is. Part of him knows everyone is getting nervous about being in one place for so long. Part of him knows that Dutch is stressed and tired, that he’s probably just taking out his frustrations, that he probably doesn’t really mean what he’s saying…

    But another, much bigger part of Arthur is stunned and indignant and hurt. And, like a wounded animal, the hurt quickly turns to rage.

    “Well how ‘bout you go make us some money, Dutch?”

    “…Excuse me?”

     

    (Or: Arthur leaves.)

    Summary

    Stanley Pines would not describe his life as 'tragic'. That required a certain level of dignity that the universe refused to allow him. So really, this was par for the course. The least he can do is laugh about the whole thing. It’s a shame nobody else seems to agree with him.

    Summary

    Donnie chuckled under his breath.

    “What?” Raph asked.

    “Nothing. I thought that squirrel seemed a little nutty.” Donnie paused, eyebrows raised, but Raph did not give him the satisfaction of a laugh. “Uh, nevermind. The fridge works fine. It’s just the lightbulb that’s out.”

    “Oh, great,” Raph said. “Give it a twist and let’s get the hell out of here.”

    “Mikey would’ve laughed.”

    “I’m not Mikey.”

    “No,” Donnie sighed. “You’re not.”

    Raph wished he remembered enough about his youngest brother to understand all the nuanced layers of meaning in Donnie’s statement. But since he didn’t, Raph let it pass.

    ------

    The M-Bomb has detonated over New York City. Having lost his family and his memory, Raph wanders through an apocalypse with nothing to tie him to his past except his brother, Donatello.

    Will they survive?!?!?! (probably not)
