To Whoever Sent This, I Opened It Christmas Morning Expecting The Usual Nonsensical Spam Ask And Instead

Hello everyone!

I am so excited to share my first work in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fandom with you! While I am a huge fan of the 2003 iteration, I have chosen to set this story in the 2012 iteration, as it fits best with the storyline I have envisioned. But do not worry—if you enjoy this, I will be posting a story set in the 2003 universe later on, so stay tuned!

This story is a loose adaptation of the City Fall arc from the IDW comics, tailored to fit the 2012 cartoon's setting. Here is the link and summary:

Title: Little Dark Age

Summary: After a devastating defeat by the Shredder during the Kraang invasion, Leonardo is captured and subjected to the dark machinations of the witch Kitsune. Bewitched and scarred, Leonardo is made to believe that the Hamato Clan is the architect of his suffering, convinced they are responsible for years of psychological and physical abuse. When Raphael, Donatello, and Michelangelo return to New York, they are horrified to find their presumed-dead brother now a vengeful and far more powerful adversary as the chunin of the Foot Clan.

What is the context here? 💀 Also, I can’t get enough of Leonardo doing the Christian Bale Batman voice.

They're so extra

Here is the fifth chapter. Oopsie daisy! Looks like the muses had their say, and it turns out that the evil 2012 iteration of Leonardo is basically just the Rise version:

In-ho: So, you like cats?

Gi-hun: Yeah.

In-ho: [Maintains intense eye contact and deliberately nudges a glass toward the edge of the table.]

[The glass wobbles, teeters, then slowly tumbles off, shattering on the floor.]

In-ho: [Deadpan, barely blinking.] Meow.

Here is the second chapter, which I had to repost due to an error:

Love this idea, but picture this: what if it all happens right after the failed rebellion, but before Jung-bae gets killed? So, In-ho, in full Front Man mode, is in the middle of his grand, dramatic speech. He’s all like, “Did you enjoy playing the hero, Player 456?” when—splash—suddenly, both of them look down and realize Gi-hun’s breeches are completely soaked.

Cue the awkward silence.

Gi-hun, clearly in pain, is trying to figure out how he’s suddenly in this situation. Meanwhile, Jung-bae, who is totally baffled by what just happened, looks at Gi-hun and just deadpans, “Are you... pregnant???”

Gi-hun, looking utterly done with everything at this point, glares at him and snaps, “No, I’m too old for that shit.”

In-ho, under his mask, is having a full-on meltdown, breathing erratically like he’s about to faint. He’s trying to stay composed, but this? This is beyond him.

Jung-bae, still processing, is just like, “Bro, you’re obviously pregnant! And in labor now!” Meanwhile, Gi-hun’s holding his stomach like he might die, and In-ho's mentally just spiraling.

Finally, In-ho snaps at the guards to escort Jung-bae back to the dormitory and to bring the doctor for Gi-hun, who, despite now being in active labor, still thinks the idea of him being pregnant is preposterous and will continue to do so until he is holding his newborn son.

So I've seen a number of anons bring up potential Gi-hun pregnant during the second games scenarios, but I think for maximum comedy he should have zero idea he is pregnant and randomly go into labor either during or in between one of the games.

Gi-hun, during the search for the Frontman, slept with "Young-il" nine months before, who claimed he was grieving the death of his wife and unborn child. Really, In-ho wanted to see Gi-hun, and one thing led to another. So when they "run into each other" at the second games, it seems like a massive coincidence.

Gi-hun has been displaying some strange symptoms like nausea and stomach pains and the occasional odd food craving that he has dismissed because of his stubbornness and determination to stop the games. Plus, the thought that he is pregnant just never even occurs to him because he is not showing because he has not eaten much or rested and simply because he believes he is far too old to worry about such things anymore. So when his waters break at the second games, it is a big "what the f*ck" moment for all parties.

I would love to imagine how In-ho reacts, but I have already taken up a lot of space 😂

this is soo gihun 😭😭😭😭 this would definitely happen to him vnienkgv

sometimes he feels some fluttering in his stomach but he just thinks it's something bad he ate, neverming that he never actually eats anything 🙄

i'm trying to think of the funniest moment he could go into labor and it's either as he is about to vote on the games or when they are playing mingle or the pentathlon.

let's say it's during mingle.

they have just crammed ten of themselves into the room and the shaman is yelling like a maniac and inho is staring creepily at gihun and gihun is bent over, clutching his stomach and watching the remaining players be gunned down outside.

his abdomen is cramping and his hips and lower back ache really back but he thinks it's the physical stress of the game and the result of not eating anything while being nauseous all the time. again, pregnancy flies right over his head because he. is. old.

the labour is one of those that is super quick!

gihun is still watching through the door slit when he feels something wet down his legs and he looks down to find his pants are wet.... daeho of course, would ask if he is okay and jungbae would chuckle that he peed his pants but gihun is just horrified and geumja is like "that doens't look like pee 🤨"

and gihun curls up in pain, holding his abdomen and inho is like "are u pregnant? 😟" and gihun says no, that's impossible... except that they had sex nine months. his contractions are worse and everyone is freaking out and the door won't open!!!! and inho feels like he is about to pass out bc what do u mean he's having another kid????

gihun has the baby right in that room, there isn't even time to get anyone out. junhee has a lovely preview of herself within the following month and daeho can't look gihun in the eye bc he's seen ALL of him. jungbae immediately claims to be the baby's fav uncle and geumja is admonishing gihun for not noticing that he is pregnant. of course, hyunju, our queen, held gihun's hand through the whole thing and let him yell at anyone he wanted, particularly inho 🥰

OR - he has the baby during the night while everyone is in the dormitory asleep

Stawwwwppppp 🤣 Not Usagi hitting the Family Guy Death Pose lol

I love this so much!

Incorrect Canon 2003 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Quotes

Donatello: Oh, look! Leonardo and Usagi are standing under the mistletoe.

Michelangelo: [Eyes widen in panic.] Oh no!

Donatello: [Rolls his eyes and crosses his arms.] Come on, Mikey. Grow up. It’s about time Leo—

Michelangelo: [Frantically waves his hands, interrupting Donatello.] Not that! Raph told Leo that it’s tradition in Usagi’s dimension, when you stand under the mistletoe—

[Leonardo abruptly snap kicks Usagi in the face mid-lean, knocking him back. Then he turns to his brothers, giving them a thumbs-up like he just nailed the perfect kata.]

Michelangelo: [Facepalms.] —you fight them.

Raphael: [Leaning against the wall, snickering.] I call it ‘mistlefoe’.

[Leonardo, oblivious to the chaos, glances up at the mistletoe again, prepared to defend his honor from any other "attackers."]

Front Man | In-ho: Join me, Gi-hun! You feel it too—I know you do!

Gi-hun: Never! My heart belongs to Young-il, and you murdered him in cold blood!

Front Man | In-ho [dramatically collapsing onto a velvet couch in his office]: I GOT REJECTED… BECAUSE OF MY OWN ALTER EGO.

Masked Officer: [awkwardly patting his shoulder] There, there…

the waist™ 👀 i'm sick of him 🙄😤

Gnawing on the bars of my enclosure and foaming at the mouth because SAME. The grip that early 2000s dark-side Leonardo fics had on my soul is still unreal.

This AU has everything I crave. Venom Leonardo in the 2003 series would eat (pun intended) with all that delicious angst.

Somebody needs to write this. Immediately. Or I will.
