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.”-

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?

Summary
"It's easy to forget where their body ends and the rest of the world begins, as if they don't quite fit in it yet. And it's deceivingly easy to forget where the edge of the bunk they share with Gwyn on the Infinity is and where the rest of the room starts and Zero remembers this only when they're falling, the pull of gravity much stronger than their still sluggish reflexes.
They fall, not on the hard floor between their bunk and Rok's, but landing on something soft instead. Something soft that groans and kicks them in the shin."

an exploration of Zero's brief corporeal existence in season 2 and of trying to find yourself
