Finally here's Leo dressed as Arthur Morgan. You absolute degenerents!/aff
Don't forget to vote for Sorry I'm late for the @tmntaucompetition
This was really fun to do and he turned out surprisingly well. I may do more RDR fan work if y'all want it!
I’ve been wanting to draw @gemini-forest ‘sorry I’m late’ Leo for ages now. AND NOW I HAVE!
I think this might be the best future Leo I’ve ever drawn. Jayden is one lucky bunny 💕
Sorry I'm Stockholm - An AU Crossover
Like the title? hehehehe~
Very grateful I’m able to take part in the @tmntaucompetition and I have the honor to be matched up with @gemini-forest, whose art style and characters I adore <3 While my writing is normally grim and takes a serious note, I wanted to write a more silly setting where all characters have fun (in their own way) ((plus I was researching what other writers have done for crossovers and all of them fall on the silly side and I agree silly is def the best route to take for this))
Now, the theme is any time period before 1920s, and I couldn’t help but think what could be more sillier than them facing off in the colosseum GLADIATOR STYLE:
(tw for mentioning of Stockholm syndrome, showing of a feral traumatized Leo, bad jokes ((I’m trying guys, really)), fourth wall breaks, and sweet gushy moments between lovers that may be overloading on cuteness so mentally prepare yourself)
————————————
Screams for a fight, blood, a win, and a loss closed in around Donatello, his hands hovered to his headphones, eye twitching. “If I was real I would blow Poet up with uranium for this.”
Mikey jumped up and down over the ledge, looking over the colosseum with a giddiness only the youngest sibling could hold. “I’m not worried about it. It’s a break from the storyline, right? Maybe Leo will have fun too.”
“By fighting in the colosseum?” Raph said. “Yeah. As if he can’t get enough of fighting. Thanks a lot POET!”
*The author ignores Raphael’s comment and urges Michelangelo to speak*
“Oh!” Mikey said. “Do we know who he’s going against?”
Donnie lowered his goggles and zoomed in at the group directly on the opposite end, waving flags and cheering. Their version of Splinter and Casey Jr and April and an older Mikey and Raph and Donnie was there, and… “I don’t recognize some of those—”
“Yoink!” Mikey snapped off his goggles and put them on. “Oh, I spoke with them earlier! That’s Francis, Raph’s partner. And that’s Aiden, Michelangelo’s husband.”
Raph whirled Mikey around simultaneously as Donnie snatched his goggles back. “You’re gay?”
Mikey raised his hands in surrender. “This is the first I’ve heard of it!” He hesitated, then tapped his chin. “Maybe?”
“Maybe?” Raph howled.
Mikey shrugged. “I don’t know! I’ve been busy!”
“They’re holding signs up for Leo,” Donnie said. “I don’t think they’re cheering for ours, though.”
Mikey melted in his seat. “Awww. Wish we made signs. I think that would’ve cheered Leo up a little.”
The roars of the crowds filled the silence between them, Donnie winced. “This crowd definitely won’t be overstimulating and overwhelming for Leo to the point where he’ll go on a killing rampage, right?”
Sweat ran down all of their necks as the announcer called for everyone’s attention. Screaming louder than before made even Raph flinch. “First into the ring, all the way from Stockholm, Spain is Leonardo!”
Donnie gritted his teeth. “One, Stockholm is in Sweden, not Spain. How do you mix that up? And second, he isn’t from Stockholm he has Stockholm Syndrome does this announcer even—”
Raph pulled him back down to his seat—he didn’t realize he stood up. “Donnie! Calm down, everyone will probably forget about this in a couple minutes anyways. It looks like the crowd is too drunk to even hear the announcer.”
Nearby, a rabbit yokai Donnie recognized as Yuichi from another alternate universe toppled face first, still pulling out a thumbs up.
As the gate lifted, metal rattling and clanging against metal, Leo crawled out on all fours, whining and shaking his head at the sounds. He frothed at the mouth, looked around either for something familiar, or a fight to pick.
***
Jayden tightened the last leather strap and smirked at their handy work. “There,” they said. “You look good.”
Leo stood in full gladiator armor, complete with a helmet that had a red tail swinging from it. It looked good with his red markings. He swished the tail from the helmet back. “I still like my cowboy outfit better.” Smirking, he pulled Jayden in for a kiss. They leaned into it, sighing against him. They rubbed their belly in thought, and Leo leaned down. “You’re not worried for me?”
Jayden smiled back. “Well—”
The gate across from them opened, and out came a creature—no—it was a younger version of Leo. He walked on all fours and behaved like a…like a feral animal. It was hard to watch. He was thin and covered in scars—he looked frail and in need of help. He shouldn’t be fighting. Jayden turned to Leo, who watched with wide eyes. “That…that’s not what I was expecting…”
Jayden looked back at the young, tormented Leo. This wasn’t right.
Determination filled them, body and soul, and they faced their Blueberry with an open palm. “Give me your helmet.”
Leo stepped back. “Jayd, don’t think you’re going out there. You’re pregnant.”
Jayden slammed their foot down. “You’re not fighting yourself, now give me your helmet!” Then they smiled. The smile that Leo fell for, the smile he always longed to see. “I have a plan, Blueberry.”
He looked doubtful, looking back to the snarling version of himself, then sighed, handing the helmet over. “I don’t know what your plan is, but…I trust you.”
They took the heavy helmet with a grateful grin. Leo leaned down for one last kiss as their own metal gate pulled up. The announcer’s booming voice said, “Coming from Sorry I’m Late is Leo—”
Jayden stepped out, pregnant belly on full display, but they were proud in their helmet. They stepped into the sunlight and placed their hands on their hips, ever confident and sure of themselves.
“—nardo—what’s this? It’s Leo’s partner, Jayden!”
“Whoo!”
Jayden looked behind and waved to the family, Casey Jr clapped and yelled, “Go, Bapa!”
The signs they held up for Leo flipped around and said Jayden’s name, as though they foresaw this happening. The young Leo, apparently from Stockholm (he didn’t look Swedish?) saw them and flinched, pupils thinning. He hissed, sharp teeth flashing, and Jayden raised their hands. “You don’t know me,” they murmured. Leo circled them, claws digging into the dirt. When they took a step forward, they snarled, clicking in distress. Jayden smiled. “But I… kind of know you.” Jayden bent down on their knees, arms wide. “And… I know you don’t want this.”
He looked surprised, hesitant, and sniffed the air. He crept towards them, flinching at the slightest twitch of their fingers and hissing, but then came creeping back. His skittish behavior went on for minutes, but they were patient. He made it all the way to the tip of their fingers. He sniffed them, he looked at their eyes. His pupils were so thin, the scarring around his eyes were so wrong, and they recognized markings around his limbs were remnants of krang tentacles. Shivering, Jayden dared to brush their fingers against his cheek. Leo flinched, a warning growl in his throat. “It’s okay,” they murmured. They let him come on his own time, and when sniffing and stepping forward again, he brushed his face against their hand. They rested both hands against his cheeks. Laughing, they opened their arms to see if Leo wanted a hug. “See? Not so bad, huh?”
Leo suddenly flopped down onto their legs and sprawled, churring and nestling his head against their stomach, feeling the small kick of little Annie inside. The announcer suddenly said, “And the winner is Jayden!”
Jayden’s ear twitched. “Huh? But I didn’t…” They looked back at their own Leo, their beloved Blueberry, who stood behind the gate with crossed arms, but smiling. He had tears in his eyes. Smiling back, Jayden looked back down at the small and fragile Leo, just a teenager, and rested their hand on his head. “Ah…it’s fine.”

You decide which Yuichi it was who got too drunk lol. Also I knew putting Jayden in a gladiator helmet was the correct move to make they would look so cute with it on ;0; They're such a wholesome character, I knew Stockholm Leo would fall at their feet and worship them the moment they met. I hope your characters were accurate enough @gemini-forest, I did a bunch of research before going into it <3
@skullandfeathers gave me an idea, and it is very much them
“WH?”
“Mm?”
“We’ll always have each other, right?
“Yes, always.”
I love these two istg
Friends
Leo loves his daughter but he worries sometimes.
