Hope by @wtf-skittens / ffnet
A somewhat alternate ending to the 2k3 episode Same as it Never Was, because I found it kind of hard to believe that Don and April wouldn't have at least checked the others right after the fight…

sinking and sailing to swim by @wg12349876
“I’m gonna need you to keep him still,” he’s instructing him sternly. Bullets shower over the top of the ditch, landing wetly into the soft mud that surrounds them. Leo pretends not to flinch. “I’m going to cut below the elbow. If he moves and I miss my mark, I don’t want to have to amputate any further up. That’ll… that’ll be harder.” He swallows thickly, everything in his mouth tasting like blood, bile and ash.
I Would Have Said Goodbye by @whispering-about-the-tmnt
After Same As It Never Was, Donatello writes a letter that he hopes his family will never have to read.
Can you smell the smoke? by secreterces5
Many theorize that Donnie, the Donnie from that apocalyptic timeline, had been kidnapped, or accidentally crossed over to another dimension, or that he had died.
But what if his disappearance had been both much simpler and much more complicated than that?

Eventually he finds his way back to New York. The skyline is different, now, but there's enough that's still the same - the Empire State will never change, though Lady Liberty got blown up the day after the takeover.
