T33la's Writing Masterpost 🐢
Hello, all! A friend encouraged me to make a pinned masterpost, which is, admittedly, past time. I'm a TMNT reader, writer, and appreciator-of-fanart with a lean towards 2003 and IDW, though I I've never met a version of our Turtles I didn't enjoy. I'm posting my fics here and will add on as I go with the most recent on top. All are finished unless otherwise indicated!
✨Cryostasis - 2003 - (In progress...) A 5-chapt canon-divergent AU in which Mikey is terribly injured in the explosion of The Shredder's spaceship at end of Exodus. Angst with a happyish ending.

Angst with a happy ending. (Won 1st place for "Best of 2012" and 2nd place for "Best of Raphael" in TMNT Readers Choice Awards.)
✨Turtle Econ 101 - 2003 - One-shot: Casey gets a lesson in how our un-banked Turtles use "ownership" of statues as currency between one another. Family fluff. (Won 2nd place for "cutest fluff" and 3rd place for "canon ally portrayal" in the TMNT Readers Choice Awards.)
