#turtleshoes is actually just an excuse to be horrifically mean to Leo

DONNIENOES

(I mean I would ask about Shoes for Turtles but you already gave a lot on that, but feel free to waffle more about it anyway)

(it occurs to me that you did not actually tag me in that post, you just left it open to whoever and I considered myself tagged. there. I have edited my post.)

“Leo’s still up there,” Raph said in the Rise movie, to Donnie, the one brother who can FLY. who, in canon, was probably too injured and weak to conjure a means to fly, yadda yadda. Donnienoes, a series titled Dominoes on Ao3, is me deciding nahhhhh let’s have him try to save Leo. Thus was born Drifting.

the repercussions of Drifting are supposed to be addressed in a sequel called Landing, and that is why Donnienoes is still in the WIP folder. but it has been FIGHTING me. I do not know what to do with it. neither threats of angst nor promises of fluff have worked to get it off the ground. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

SHOES FOR TURTLES IS MY DARLING AND I WILL TALK ABOUT IT ANYTIME. It is my love letter to every iteration for making TMNT writ large so reiterable. It is my first exploration of shuffling the sibling dynamics. It is a desperate scrabbling to find plot buried in a really cool sandbox. It is many things. It intimidates me🙃
