#anyone have any good fic recs?

[god-of-fandoms]

rewatched NPMD

do you think richie and ruth’s souls moved on after their deaths? or are they still there, in the town they lived and died in, watching over their best friend as he grows up and moves on?

rough sketch sorry abt that. i kind of think it looks better like this than if i had tried to clean it up, though

have a lovely day!

-lee :)

Hi I saw in your pinned post that you've read over 1,000 TMNT fics. Do you have a few really good ones you would recommend?

(don't feel any pressure to respond if you don't want to)

Oh boy this is...quite an ask. Especially bc fanfic recs are so personal? What I think is a good fic will be vastly different from other people. I have a really high angst tolerance, so please double check tags with these. Also keep in mind that I mainly read donnie-centric fics.

Here are my personal favorites! My hand slipped and I have more than just a few to recommend...what can I say there are so many good fics.

CRACK BUT READS LIKE CANON

Back To School by Em_H | 10,965 [FINISHED]

Donnie enrolls in April’s school and tries to juggle his packed schedule. A shrek play is included. Do I need to say more?

☆ In Volvunt: a RotTMNT Fanfiction ☆ by kittylittersmoothie | 27,082 [FINISHED]

In which the rest of the bros continuously try and fail to rick roll donnie. A war is started, alliances are made, betrayals occur, this is a hilarious feel good fic. It’s very in line with the show tonal wise and the dialogue is very rise

Mikey's Jam-Packed, Guaranteed to Get Donnie's Memory Back, Friendship Tour! By Eyse | 92,972 [ON-GOING]

Donnie wakes up with no memory of anyone including himself. Que his brothers trying to find ways to get his memory back. Has some of the most wacky adventures and scenarios I’ve ever encountered in a rise fic. Feels like you’re reading the actual show

YOU WILL BE EMOTIONALLY DESTROYED

Quiet Your Mind by daedelweiss | 18,081 [FINISHED]

Fusion Au with the disaster twins set in the bad future timeline. I don’t cry. This one made me cry. Bittersweet ending.

Telepathy (of a Twin Variety) by vosian_nightmare | 24,423 [FINISHED] 

My personal favorite twin telepathy fic. Character study on the disaster twins.

Something Borrowed, Something Blue by Cass_Phoenix | 31,963 [FINISHED]

A Donnie from an alternate reality kidnaps Leo. Or is he bringing him home? This one will fuck with your mind. One of my bookmark notes is “Reality existentialism” 

Firefight by remrose | 94,480 [ON-GOING]

What if donnie gets trapped in the prison dimension with leo? I’m usually not a fan of changing plot points in the rise movie or suicidal leo, but this fic is the exception. It is VERY well written and has some of the best exchanges between the disaster twins. You WILL be scared for the characters and your heart WILL be crushed. Proud to say I was here for this fic since chapter 1 bc that NEVER happens with me

THE CROSSOVERS

Familiar Places, Foreign Faces by Petra4President | 36,434 [ON-GOING]

Rise/2012 Crossover Fic. The Rise Donnie & 2012 Raph fic I didn’t ask for (I read this before watching 2012) but didn’t realize I NEEDED. Donnie gets sent to the 2012 universe and must find a way home. 

A Tale of Spirits by unorthodoxx | 168,344 [ON-GOING]

Rise/Avatar the Last Airbender AU. This one is pretty popular so I won't say anything else except its really good.

I WOULD BOOK BIND THESE

All I have to say about these fics is that they’re REALLY good and BOOK WORTHY

Monsters Among Us by DanzinoraSwitch | 86,136 [FINISHED]

Violet Hues and Holy Blue by SibillaScribbles08 | 115,752 [FINISHED]

I May Be Invisible, but I Still Look Good by Dandy | 124,862 [FINISHED]

MY PERSONAL COMFORT FICS

Things will never be the same (but that's okay) by Petra4President | 14,493 [FINISHED]

Post movie aftermath fic that focuses on the changes created by the events of the movie. Idk what specifically has me rereading this occasionally, but its really well written and a little different than most aftermath fics I've read.

Corrupted Upgrade by Dandy | 25,898 [FINISHED]

Donnie Villain AU with a twist. He really gives off megamind vibes. DO NOT BE FOOLED. THERE’S A REASON EVERYONE IS OUT OF CHARACTER IN THE BEGINNING. I almost slept on this fic and it became one of my favorites. It’s the type of fic that I can read over and over and over.

Turning Purple by Lizardstuff | 48,123 [ON-GOING]

Donnie slowly gets more and more sick post rise movie and the rest of the characters must find out what’s wrong and find a cure. THIS ONE’S FOR YOU, MEDICAL NERDS. Author has done research and any inaccuracies have gone over this EMT’s head. I reread this one every chapter update and every time I’m haunted by “the blueberry french toast paragraph” No I will not explain further, go read it.

MY TOP FIC RECOMMENDATION

Spider's Web with Strings Attached by CurlySwirly | 125,661 [ON-GOING]

Donnie and Leo get kidnapped and are forced to fight in the battle nexus. This is my pick for the most well written fanfic and most in canon characterization with ALL the characters. You will HEAR the characters not just through the dialogue but also through the writing itself. As the reader, you will be beaten down and have your heart crushed mercilessly which makes the pay off the most rewarding, satisfying experience that I've personally ever felt with a fanfic. This fic lives in my head rent free and I think about it at least once a day. It is my all time favorite rise fic and I highly recommend it.

[supernatural-bias]

i think getting called 'bub' by him would fix me, actually, sent tweet

[tethered-heartstrings]

i am not on any other social medias besides tumblr, but a mutual showed me a screenshot of someone on tiktok asking for hannibal fic recs and someone replied not with just one of my fics but recommended all of my work and i am at a loss for words and trying not to melt into a slobbering pile of goo. whoever you are, THANK YOU SO MUCH <333 AHHH

[yoihino]

Honestly gotta love fandoms with specific character tags on ao3 that are just 'x character is traumatized'

[erstwhilesparrow]

every day* i go "wow i love making fic rec lists i should make another fic rec list" and then i find myself elbow deep in the process with like fifty tabs open and no idea how to tell you about this next one except guys it's really really good please just believe me and i curse my younger more foolish self

[mischiefbuckley]

I wanna see a buck and eddie roommate era for the beginning of season 8 because ain’t no way my man buck is leaving eddie alone after christopher left and especially after THAT goodbye like please

[reinedeslys-central]

when it's been so long since you've read a fic that you forget about it and you find it in the search tags and start reading it again

and it's great, if a little familiar, but you've read a lot of these sorts of fics bc you like this tag a lot, so you assume it's nothing

but then the deja vu starts adding up and you start to wonder

and then moments before the great big Plot Twist Reveal happens you're suddenly like ah hell this is the bloody sundial fic again isn't it

smh this has to be the fourth time yet

[tenacious-minds]

I hate when I’m in the mood for something very specific in which searching tags is basically useless.

[inioranackatori]

I’m rewatching Transformers the original animated movie because Reasons (TF:One ate my brain), and wow. Daniel gets tossed around more than a hot potato.

First Hot Rod yeets him out of the air and into safety. Then Hot Rod yeets him out of danger again during the siege on Autobot City. Then Arcee gets her turn to yet Daniel during the escape from Autobot City. Then Springer yeets Daniel into the shuttle. And that’s just the first act of the movie.

Daniel has so much in common with a house cat. He gets under foot pede. His preference is high places, with excellent climbing skills to get there. He will find all the interesting and dangerous stuff. Do not frag with him because he does have claws access to weapons. And he is in a constant state of yeet by his owners staff friends.

Daniel’s life growing up must have been wild…

[bewitchedfeathers]

HOMG this was in a vanilla fic da/bi ha/wks fanfic 😍🔥🥵

"

Keigo's other hand came up to brush over the matching studs in each nostril and his eyes dropped to look at the labret sitting below Touya’s bottom lip.

Touya tried to stay still, he did. But Keigo’s thumb was still rubbing one of his nose studs and the bar inside was starting to twist around and tickle…

He sneezed. Bringing his arm up to protect Keigo from it, because hell if he was sneezing in someone's face.

Keigo squawked in surprise, wings puffing up and their quiet moment ruined by Touya’s ticklish nose.

“Sorry,” he said, nose still buried in the crook of his elbow, “my nose stud was moving,” he explained.

Lloyd and Jay Headcanons:

NOT A SHIP !!!!!

Inspired by @sharksandjays, @taddymaeson and @kunshokunsho’s comics

Lloyd learns speedy fighting techniques from Jay

Jay taught Lloyd how to skate during tournament of elements

Jay (trans) helped Lloyd with his transition and was really excited and proud in SOG when he heard Lloyd’s voice change

Bonded over Starfarer till Jay random stopped liking the series (post skybound) which broke Lloyd’s heart

Jay lent Lloyd Mr. Cuddlywump when he was younger and used to have nightmares

Jay always shows Lloyd cheat codes and gaming hacks to beat Kai with

Jay gets lowkey invested when Lloyd shows romantic interests (he’s a hopeless romantic and thinks it cute)

Bond over ugly haircut trauma with Nya
