Separated AU where Leo stays with Draxum, except Draxum is actually an ok dad.
Insert an LFLS joke here
If serious, I know people like to demonize him a bit, but I think Draxum would be a pretty decent dad if one or even all of the turtles stayed with him. He's a big softie, u can tell that by how he's interacting with Hugging and Munnin and how quickly he warmed up to humans, and even by the fact that he didn't even want to destroy the humans, he wanted to turn them into Yokai instead even tho destruction would clearly be easier to achieve.
If Leo stayed with him, he'd definitely try to raise him as a weapon but fail miserably cuz Leo's his baby and he'd not be as harsh on him as he thinks is needed.
Started a new comic, this one is going to be kind of big so i'm keeping it simple and the scope small but... I really like this story we made so. let's fuckin goooo
LIKE FATHER LIKE SON! (but mutant mayhem (tottmnt) version... >:)
The original LFLS is by @eternalglitch , all credit to the story goes to them. You can read LFLS on ao3!
If you don't know what "Like father like son" is, it's an AU of rottmnt where Leo gets kidnapped by draxum and becomes his fighter, how he keeps Leo in line is with the shock collar Donnie made in a previous episode. I don't want to spoil to much but to summarize he gets put in thr battle nexus and is forced to fight (that's where he is whens his brothers save him, the fic isn't finished though so the ending is unknown.
IVE BEEN SO FREAKING EXCITED TO SHARE THIS YOU HAVE NO IDEA! I came up with this at like 3 am a week ago and I've been at it ever since. I even have the story! (It's the same as lslf but with some character and minor plot switches to fit with the MM universe)
Feel free to send asks, or questions on leo! Tbh I would love to get questions on his lore or anything in general!
LORE + MORE INFO UNDER CUT (waring: Electric shocks/torture/violence/sever injuries)
(The lore isn't much diffrent than the original lfls lore but there are some changed that I want to address)
MAIN STORY:
In the main story of LFLS Leon (what I will call rise tmnt leo for now) was picking up pizza for him and his brothers, but was stopped by draxum and kidnapped (not a great summary but the best I can do right now). In the MM version, Leo was trying to convince his brothers to check out some sketchy activitie with him, but they all wanted to stay home, treating it like it was nothing. Leo freaked out, saying it was there job to protect the city, and they didn't care for the world they worked so hard to fight for. He left by himself, and after about an hour of patrolling he found a member of the purple dragons, specifically angel. She was just standing in an alley, doing what? Nothing. That's what weirded Leo out the most. He stalked her until he got close enough, once he was about to speak she whipped her head around and yelled at hun to "Do It now!" The next thing he knew a brick was smashed down onto the back of his head, knocking him to the floor.
Once he won't up, he was on the floor, his ankles chained down. There was enough give for him to move about 2 feet in each direction. When he looked up, it was all of the purple dragons, looking down at him like he was either treasure or garbage waiting to be tossed away. Kitsune was at the forefront, clapping like she was praising someone. His ears were still ringing, but he could hear enough to slightly process what she said. He got bits and pieces, but the main point was that he was captured by them, and was going to be kitsunes knew protection, and employee. Of course he denied, he tried to say no, say that he would rather die than work for her. That's when she laughed. And pulled a remote out of behind her back. She wiggled it for a moment before pressing the green button.
He screamed, immediately bring his hands up to his neck. He couldn't even process what was happening. He teared up, clawing at his neck, no, a collar, while shocks went through his upper body. He heard someone yell (hun), and fast footsteps. But they were cut off when kitsune put her hand up. Leo fell to the floor, trying to figure out what was on his neck and how to take it off. He sobbed, looking up to see hun right behind kitsune, eyes a big wide but knowing. Hun gulped and looked away. He begged, begged for his brothers, his dad, april, at some point he think he asked god for help. After a minute it was turned off, he was huffing. His mouth was dry, like he had cotton mouth. He barely could keep his eyes open was kitsune turned around, she muttered somthing to hun, and gave a hard look to angel before she left with the rest of the group.
After, angel stayed in the back of the room while Hun helped tend to Leo's injuries. He said that Leo shouldn't talk since it will aggravate his throat more. He helped clean the burn wounds and wrapped Leo's neck In Gauze. He was still in shock at the situation. Not even 4 hours ago he was home with his brother, eating pizza and watching footloose. He looked at hun. And asked for him to help, to help Leo leave. But Hun didn't respond, he looked looked away, and ran a hand down his face. After a minute he and angel left. And for at least a year, that's how it stayed. He got armor (a helmet) And a new sword (his katanas were hidden from him). He gave up on talking after the first 4 months, no one listened but Hun (if he was lucky, angel), and all it did was irritate his neck, and avtivate the collar on his neck if he said the wrong thing. Hun still would say stuff to him often, telling him if he saw his brothers, and how they were doing. That's the only thing that get Leo going. Knowing his brothers were looking for him. Hun had explained why he couldn't do anything, said that he would only be punished severely, and they would just sell Leo off to get rid of evidence.
After 5 months kitsune had decided he would be a good fit for her battle nexus, the same place they escaped from not even 6 months prior. Hun explained the rules, and said he's been sent to fight a couple times. Leosucked at first, getting shocked every other second for not doing the right move, or showing to much "emotion" at the pain. Bur after a long while he got thr hang of it, going from opening shows to main events. After 3 more months (9 months total), Hun and angel informed him they were gonna help him escape, get out. Apparently the both agreeddidn't sign up to prolonged torture when he joined a local gang. But after a failed escape, he was punished but getting his eye scratched open. He was never there for when Hun got punished, but he remembered seeing him with wraps all on his back when he talked to Leo next (no he was not whipped or anything crazy like that, kitsune just had some of the gang whoop his ass, and his back god kicked like a lot). From what he heard angel was able to lie her way put of it.
After 12 months total, Hun and told Raphael everything, of course raph screamed, and called Hun things he wouldn't even mention near his mother. Raph might of hated him, but he knew this was his only chance to get Leo out. After informing his brothers (and father) (hun got sucker punched st least 3 times that day), they planned (angel helped.) They raided the nexus mid fight and was able to get Leo, when they finally had to go against kitsune (without her gang they whooped her ass, she definitely wouldnt be able to move for at least 4 months), they had broken the remote control in the process, making thr collar auto stay on. Leo had passed out before they got it off.
And ever since he's been "recovering". If you could even call it that. He still god weirded out when. People called him Leo, and not Lee. Or when people genuinely tried to converse with him. You should've seen his face when he realized he could breath without being as quiet as possible. What weirded him out the most was when his brothers said "I love you." He knew it was true, but it disgusted him. After 6 months he wasn't back to normal, but he had definitely grown better. He was able to talk (even if at a low level), and he wasn't entirely upset when people called him Leo. Or Leonardo.
He would never be the same again, that's for sure. But he is getting better every day. And as long as he stays with his brothers, nothing will ever keep him from doing that.
"Will you draw more of him?" Honestly. No idea! I plan to, but I also have like 3 other AUs and at least 4 fanfictions I need to finish.
But that's all for now! Peace out and please don't Kill Me in my sleep for this!
