Rottmnt Possessed AU

So… It all started with this art of Ghost Leo that I drew quite some time ago.

And then I had an idea.

Do you remember how Gram-Gram died, did the Hamato glowy thing, turned into light and possessed April at the end of season 2?

Well-

What if?

I present to you The Disaster Twins who refused to be separated by such dumdum thing as death.

actually i dont have the capacity to be normal about this. Akutagawa wasnt born violent. It didnt come naturally to him. He protected people once. He had to be violent to survive. He learned it. It was never his natural state. He is still at his core someone who protects people, which is exactly what he died trying to do

finally a person active to ramble about brian moser. his death is a pure tragedy. brian just accepted the fact that he got betrayed by his precious sibling after years of longing for him as a fond memory while desiring to get rid of this "foster bullshit" because adoption's not like true family, it's a gut-wrenching hoax that brian endured for years in isolation, trapped between walls with no possibility to reconnect with his only "salvation" alias dexter &. willing to embrace his younger brother's lack of humanity out of pure unconditional love. brian's peak fraternity &. dexter ended up throwing away his hope by eliminating brian due to his obssession with limbs &. "code"... well, controversial hot take but i wished that brian quickly got rid of dexter after the impromptu stunt or that brian secretly annihilated debra without leaving any trace before using manipulation skills to coax dexter to go back to old times with the promise of accepting all his ugly parts that he kept cancealing.

Believe me, I so wished for Brian to survive and take care of Deb on his own somehow. Not Dexter. He could never harm his baby brother not even if his life depended on it.

Also, I'm sure that he could've been, if not molded to the code, accepting of Dexter's own free will to follow it if Dexter had simply set him down and explained it. Nobody can't convince me of the contrary cause Brian obsessed over reuniting with Dex for like 31 full years and people still think that he simply would've thrown away all that simply cause Dexter didn't wanna abandon the code? Oh gimme a break. He would've accepted anything if Dexter had been capable of expressing his own worries and problems.

His death still has such a grip on me this many years later cause that "Am I one of your victims now?" broke me then and it still breaks me now.

And Dexter going like "you need to be put down" and Brian "Why? Because of your code?" and Dex "And the safety of my sister" TF YOU MEAN THE SAFETY OF YOUR SISTER?? HE'S YOUR GODDAMN BLOOD BROTHER AND YOU'RE WILLING TO OFF HIM TO SAVE HER?

This is one of those rants where quoting the books comes in handy too btw cause in Darkly Dreaming Dexter he quite literally realized that Harry had lied to him all along and after that, as he looked down at Debra's body bound to the table in plastic, his internal monologue stated, and I quote: "And more to the immediate point, what did I owe this squirming lump of animal flesh quivering beneath me, this creature masquerading as my sibling? What could I possiby owe her in comparison to my bond with Brian, my own flesh, my brother, a living replication of my selfsame precious DNA?"

Like, how did we go from that kind of devotion to "I have to kill him to save her"?

Brian's devotion and love were blind but there and strong, unrelenting and deep.

Dexter's devotion was misplaced since he himself regretted having killed Brian later on in the seasons, especially when Deb found out about his little hobby and tried to kill both of them by drowning them in the car.
