    Summary

    “We can be a family,” she offered shakily. Her vision blurred. “Right?”

    Michelangelo nuzzled against her palm and she took it as a yes, gathering them all in her arms.

    “I am your sister. Your family. I am Venus de Milo.” She held them tight and vowed, “I will always protect you.”

    Summary

    For most of Mikey's life, she grew up bearing masculinity and ruggedness as her only option—with her growing up beside three older brothers and them four being skilled, kick-butt ninjas.

    But she started to notice something throughout her only exposure to society being media consumption. Especially the older shows/comics—Mikey's favorite.

    Women were displayed as something angelic and pretty... modest but confident...

    And c'mon... Mikey was a muscular ninja turtle. She didn't see a sliver of that in her...

    But she wants to—more than anything. And she's willing to do anything to prove her feminity. But what does it mean to be feminine? Is there truly a correct path to follow or is the true feminine way fluid?

    Summary

    The brothers had changed over the nearly four years they had been estranged. Their broken shards shattered by grief shifted to make something else. Something more resembling someone whole. Though Michelangelo? While the others may have been broken, the years had been most unkind to him. Michelangelo left parts of himself behind mentally and physically. Parts in which he could never get back.

    The only question is, can the brothers help him build something new where he had chipped portions of his old self away?

    Would he even want to?

    Summary

    "He’s failing them.

    Failing his father.

    Yet despite the fact, despite the way it settles into his bone like a brand from a hot iron—he still can’t do anything. He can’t pick himself up off the dojo floor."

    Or: The brothers leave, one by one. Each of them have their own reasons, their own burdens to shoulder. Though despite all of their time spent away from one another, they always come back home...

    Here's what it takes for them to do so.

    Summary

    "Finally, they could try and regain their lost childhood, to be a family again.

    Except…

    His family didn’t feel like family anymore.

    Michelangelo knew that logically, friends often drifted apart—changed directions in their lives. Though he always expected family to stay. To have a bond stronger than the forces of nature, impossible to sever. They always came back in the end, didn’t they? No matter what happened.

    Turns out….he was wrong because his brothers left him too."

    Or: Michelangelo's brothers deal with their grief and trauma in different ways after the loss of Splinter finally settles in, eventually, they all leave in one way or another-- only he remains. It doesn't help that something is lurking in New York.

    What will it take to bring his brothers home?

    Bookmarker's Notes

    A journey that shows how Mikey gradually reaches a breaking point.

    This work is one of the best and is the closest thing to a last Ronin Mikey 2012

    It destroys you with every passing chapter!
