Rain Falls, Night Falls by love_killed_the_superstar

​

The majority of the resistance is still weak, still being trained by Leonardo and April, so it is Casey and Mikey who are running blind through the storm, rain beating against their faces, drumming on Mikey's plastron and weighing down Casey's clothes. It is violent and loud, it rips away the sound of their shouts, the howling wind carrying the sound away as the rain drowns it. They are drowned turtle and man, screaming the same name over and over. SAINW Rated: T

Not Our Problem by Kyn

​

None of them heard a goddamn thing, except for Leo. 'Course he did. Apparently being blind had given him echolocation or magic powers or something.

Set in a future in which the Foot took over the East Coast for over a decade. The three surviving turtles have finally killed Shredder, but remain bitter, jaded, scarred, and more than a little distrusting of humanity. Lots of hurt/comfort/psychology/fraternal love/infighting. Involves a baby. Rated: M
