What are some of your personal favorite fics? Whether they're on the list already or no!

Oh gosh, I've read a lot of really wonderful fanfics!! For me personally, my favorite fanfics are always the ones that have elicited a strong response out of myself. I'll go ahead and list a few that I've really enjoyed! Note, they aren't in any particular order of favoritism. I like them all!! If they're already in my list, the link supplied is the one leading to the appraised version listed on my Fanfic List Masterpost! If its not in my list, then I simply supplied the direct link to the fic on Ao3 ^^ I hope you give some of these a try!! I wholeheartedly recommend them all!!

When I Was Younger by @sketchiefoxie & @inkypawprint (Rottmnt Fanfic) Summary: It’s a month after the invasion, and the Mad Dogs believe they’ve left the worst behind themselves. Though their whole world is shook when none other than their future selves, not Casey’s future versions, but themselves come back to the past. Something big is coming; something involving the Krang and the Foot clan, and it isn’t good.

The Lemonade Leak by @turtleinsoup (Rottmnt Fanfic) Summary: "Leo can not sleep, because there is a thing in Donnie's lab, pretending to be his twin. Or: It turns out that being created as a biological super soldier comes with a few... modifications. Some of those, more dangerous than others."

firefight by @remedyturtles (Rottmnt Fanfic) Summary: Donnie collided with Leo in a tangle of limbs. There was an instinctive cling in return from his twin, before the realization sunk in. "No." Leo breathed in his ear, immediately shattered. "No, no, no, no, no!” Every muscle in Donnie's body was shaking like an earthquake from the amount of effort he'd just expended. The explosion caught up to them, sending the twins spiralling away into space and debris. For one singular moment, Donnie allowed himself a burst of victory. His heart was still thudding a thousand miles an hour in his chest, having been absolutely terrified he wasn't going to make it in time. But he did. And he held onto Leo, his prize. Then they hit the ground, the sudden tumble bursting them apart. Donnie felt the world spin, rapid and disorientating, before he slammed into something rock and cracking under his impact. or: donnie doesn’t let leo go to hell alone

My Life, Their Story by @azucar-skull (Rottmnt Fanfic) (You'll) Get Through It (MLTS Part 1) Summary: After saving the world from the Kraang, (Leo included), Mikey suffers from severe nerve damage in his arms. This disability takes over his entire life, causing a lot of chaos. Right Now Is Real (MLTS Part 2) Summary: Raph grew up with nightmare disorder, something that he was born with that gradually got worse over time due to PTSD, especially after the Kraang incident. This leads to Raph becoming a danger to himself and others as everyone tries to help him seek out help. The Show Must Go On (MLTS Part 3) Summary: Leo deals with severe depression and PTSD after the events of the movie as he strives to be a better brother. Freak Of Nature (MLTS Part 4) Summary: After Donnie thought he lost everything, he ended up losing even more. Including his mind. Or; Donnie has a gun--

Down With The Stockholm by @devotedtosadpoetry (Rottmnt Fanfic) Summary: Leonardo is captured and experimented on until he is turned exactly into what they want him to be. Some things cannot be undone. Meanwhile, mutants and yokai are in hiding, fearful of this powerful entity.

Revelations Timeline AU by @idk-im-just-here-now (Rottmnt Fanfic) Song of a Sunny Day (fading into dusk) Part 1 Summary: It's been a month after the Kraang invasion. The lair has been filled with nothing but the sounds of a heart monitor and quiet. It's too quiet for Mikey, so he goes on a solo run of the city. He finds a violin case on the ground and decides to take it home. After all, what could go wrong with learning an instrument? As it turns out, quite a lot. Memories of a Tyrant (locked in a prison) Part 2 Summary: After the events of the Kraang invasion, Donnie has thrown himself fully back into his work. This time though, he has a new companion, who keeps reminding him of events too close to be called the past and slithering through his head... The Ghosts That Wander (and the monsters who follow) Part 3 Summary: Being in a coma is not fun, but somehow, neither is not being in a coma. As Leo finally comes to after the invasion, things around the Lair look very different - and not in any kind of way that Leo likes. The Call Of A Parasite (hunting the hivemind) Part 4 Summary: Its been one week since the invasion, and everything is still in a near critical state. Overwhelmed by it all, and the fear of becoming a monster once more, Raph takes to the ruined streets of New York But barely a week has passed, meaning open ground is still crawling with the remnants of the Kraang. And Raph begins to learn.

Adagio in Green: Panacea by @boxfullaturtles (Rottmnt Fanfic) Summary: They stopped the apocalypse, but it's left them in bad shape. Leo's shell is in pieces. Mikey won't wake up. Donnie can hardly move. Raph's barely holding himself together. They're going to need all the help they can get to survive in the wake of the invasion. It’s a good thing they’re not alone. --------- A post-movie story about processing grief and trauma, and how the road to recovery isn't always a straight line.

So, I guess... we all have issues by SpectrumWriting on Ao3 (TMNT 2012 Fanfic) Summary: Mikey wasn't insane. He knew he wasn't. He really did have three brothers and a father, no matter what his paperwork said. Also, none of his family was human, and neither was he. That was the truth about him, no matter what anyone else thought. (Sticking by that truth got him thrown into an asylum. What a surprise.) **Winner of FIRST PLACE in the Universal TMNT Mature Fanfic Competition 2016 for MOST COMPELLING AU, and winner of SECOND PLACE for MOST SPOT ON PORTRAYAL OF MICHELANGELO.**

Thank you for the ask!! I really enjoyed answering this one, and I hope you enjoy some of the fics I listed!! Any of them that aren't in my list, will be added eventually. Have a wonderful day! ^^

I made concept art for the DonBot from chapter 14 of When I was Younger

yes, I did take inspiration from the 2012 DonBot, and yes, it’s more of a mech suit than it is a new body.

Quick update for When I Was Younger!!

Chapter 18 and 19 are both going to be written by @inkypawprint as it’s only going to be her designated POV’s. The chapters are going to be a bit shorter than our average (15k or more lol) sized chapters, so hopefully they should be out a little faster. Thank you all for reading, and following along with the story!! I seriously can’t tell you all how much I appreciate each comment!! Even if it takes me a while to respond lol. Anyways, I’m thinking, for arc 1 it might end up being around 45 chapters long, give or take. Don’t quote me on this tho lol, I’m not sure yet. More delicious content for you all to eat up XD

When I Was Younger Chapter 14

Whooo!! Chapter 14 is finally out!! This chapter was so fun to write!! @inkypawprint did some artwork for the design of the DonBot which does in fact take inspiration from the 2012 design as we both adored the antennae so much!!

[sketchiefoxie]

Ohmigosh!!! @inkypawprint and I are so close to releasing the next chapter of WIWY!! All the POVs are done, and all thats left is the final spell check!! Very excited to get it out!! The support you all show means the absolute world to me!!

Say whaaaaaat? Another status update?? Yup yup, another status update, and I’ve got good news and bad news. Bad new first, cause I feel like it. I won’t be posting any WIPs for chapter 14 of WIWY this time. But, there is a good reason!! There’s no need to post a WIP cause the chapter is almost done, and should be out sometime this week!! Whoo!! Can you believe it?! Anyways, I’m super thrilled for y’all to read this chapter, cause it’s very comedy based. Then next comes chapter 15, the chapter where the drama happens!!! Mwah ha ha ha!!!!

[sketchiefoxie]

Started working on chapter 14 of WIWY, and lemme tell you, this chapter is a fun one! @inkypawprint and I will be doing this chapter joint like what we do for all the others (even though it was fun to edit a chapter all on my own, gosh does it take longer.)

It’s gonna have about 4 POV’s, three short ones done by me, and one long one done by Inky ^^ and, fun little bit; it’s going to have a few 2012 (or 2k12 if that’s what you prefer) references!!

As for a quick update on TMayNT, I promise I’m working on it. My brain gets overwhelmed and I have a hard time sticking to stuff. But I promise I’ll follow through and finish up the prompt list!!

When I Was Younger Chapter 13#

”April hasn’t seen her brothers in a month, and was assuming that they still needed their distance to recover. Though she is presently surprised when she receives a text from Donnie, asking her and Casey to meet them up on the rooftops for a surprise, and what a surprise it ends up being!”

Whoo! First April POV!!

When I Was Younger Chapter 12#

How Tello looks when hearing his brothers compliment his tech.

How Tello feels when hearing his brothers compliment his tech.

Donnie receiving any form of parent-aged-adult praise. (Dies of happiness lol)

Nardo losing his mind because he’s so proud of Donnie and he can’t help but praise him every few seconds lol.

When I Was Younger Update!

Wow it’s been a hot minute since I’ve done a WIWY stat update lol. First lemme hit you all up with the haps.

I’ve been working on chapter 13, and will hopefully have it done quite soon! Like, next week soon! This chapter is being fully edited and all of that by myself, and @inkypawprint is being so lovely and patient XD. Also, the entire chapter is going to be from a new POV! I’m not gonna give out any WIPs this time, but I will tell y’all the chapter title.

Long Time, No See

take what you will off that little tidbit! The chapter is a pretty decent length of about 12k-13k words. I don’t have much left to write, then all that’ll be left is the proof reading and spell checking. Anyways, so excited to get the next chapter out!!

We’re so close to chapter 15, which I literally can’t stand because something HUGE is happening in that chapter!! I’m so excited!!!

What Doesn’t Kill Me, Makes Me Stronger, Right?

Mikey's consistent schedule of fear and control in the Nexus is interrupted when out of the blue, Big Mama brings him back his hands, and some arts supplies, saying she needs art for a "special project." Meanwhile, back at the lair, Donnie is gifted a handcrafted wheelchair, custom built by Tello. The wheelchair is great and all, but... Donnie just wishes he could stop questioning his existence, and Leo's constant state of anxiety isn't helping.
