    Summary

    As the crowds disperse in the twilight and the trucks drive away, Thomas watches Safe Haven’s massive front gates begin to close on the outside world with a huge dull groan. The sound of it settles deep inside his chest. "C'mon Tommy," Newt calls easily from the huddle of their friends, sunset lighting them up in a way that makes Thomas's heart squeeze, nothing more noticeable than the gold in Newt's eyes. Thomas turns, but can’t resist a final glance over his shoulder at the forests beyond the gates. He freezes.

    Because this is what Thomas knows.

    She’s not there, not really.

     

    or; there is no such thing as utopia, because utopia cannot be

    Summary

    “hamartia (noun): a fatal flaw leading to the downfall of a tragic hero or heroine.”

    Donatello was irreplaceable. He knew that for a fact - he had built his own worth up so high, there was no way anyone could fill his seat at the table. There was one thing that Donatello would never be; that he would never LET himself be. He would never be a liability.

    -

    Or: Donnie loves himself, but he doesn’t like himself, and it takes him being critically injured for anyone to notice the difference.

    Summary

    "We're not actually twins." Donnie heard himself say, feeling out of control, like he wasn't in the driver's seat of his body anymore.

    "Yeah." Leo said, slowly. "We're literally different breeds of turtle. I don't need to be a genius to know that. But we've been twins for like, a decade. So that counts for something."

    "Does it?"

     

    or: if being a twin is a choice, donnie struggles with why leo would choose him

    Summary

    He stared at the little clip and listened to what was apparently his own heart beating. It was a very weird moment to realize that while he knew what the rhythm of his own heart was, he did not know his own name, where he was, or what happened to him.

     

    or: donnie forgets a couple things.
