Figured I should make a nice pinned post now that I have more than just the one fic LOL. You can call me Claira! She/her. Currently SUPER into TMNT, but you'll probably see Trigun, FMA, and Naruto fairly often lol, among other things. Mainly a 2012 fan, but I like all of them!
ALWAYS happy to talk about any of my fics, or TMNT in general! Feel free to tag me whenever, or to use the "puppet tightly strung fic" tag yourself.

Long fics
Puppet Tightly Strung (2012) - My main fic! Canon divergence of Clash of the Mutanimals, where Raph was brainwormed longer, bc WTF that was such an underutilized concept (completed - 60k)
Noose Loosely Wound (2012) - Sequel to PTS! Picks up after The Deadly Venom and continues in that universe, with more focus on the aftermath of PTS as well as Karai :) (ongoing)
Oneshots
Aegis (2012) - Whumptober one-shot about Raph's position on the team (1.8k)
Lone Rat, No Cubs (2012) - Whumptober one-shot about Splinter, immediately after the S2 finale (645 words, very short lol)
blood of the covenant (2012) - One of my favorite fics I've done fshadklg. Character study of Splinter as the boys age, specifically focused around his relationship with Saki (3.1k)
Annihilation: Hamato (2012) - AU of the PTS AU, where Annihilation: Earth! still happened, but Raph was still under Shredder's control. Mildly gory and very angsty :P TW for Major Character Death, but if you've seen the S3 finale you already have an idea (3.3k)
brother (noun) (2012) - Short fic about Splinter and Saki, again :P Prompted by the fact that, when rewatching S1, I noticed that Splinter didn't call Saki his brother, just his 'friend,' and that put me in angst mode (2.2k)
father/daughter (2012) - A snippet from Karai's childhood, about the first time she made Shredder mad. I just think their relationship has the potential for SO much depth.... and also I'm crazy about Saki again bbffjgsyjfsugs (2.4k)
immutable (2012) - Splinter appreciation week one-shot! Just a little fic of the boys meeting Yoshi during Tale of the Yokai, bc omg I wish they had.... Just IMAGINE... (3.0k)
I am my father's daughter (2012) - Just a bunch of snippets through time, like blood of the covenant, from Karai's perspective. Mostly on her relationship with her father and herself (3.8k)
Blame (Lies) (2012) - My version of when Saki learns he's an Oroku, and the fight with Yoshi that ensues :) (2.5k)
[ID: Two digital drawings of Orym and Dorian Storm from Critical Role. On the left is a drawing of just Orym, smiling and looking pleased and flustered. He's poking the tips of his index fingers together. The drawing on the right is of Orym and Dorian together, kissing. Text above their heads reads "+3 hope". End description.]
The full illustration I did for @taplingzines "We've Always Been Here"
The zine depicts queer couples throughout cultures and history and I had the honours of portraying a Japanese lesbian couple in an underground bar during the 80s✨
"There, looming over Leo, one foot still jammed into his head, was himself. Blue powder drew a thin line under his nose. His body was covered in cuts and bruises, and one arm had an axe sticking out of it. Raphael was laughing quietly, shoulders shaking as his wild blue eyes stared back at the other Raph"
OMG HIIIII JDDJDJKD
I made this drawing inspired by Raph's nightmare in "It's not so bad in No Man's Land" from the great writer @theheadlesshorseman13 !
I wanted to depict the scene as it was, but I ended up changing some details completely unintentionally. I'm sorry!
my soft spot is literally just… it’s red guys. Without fail it’s the character with a red motif. If they have anger management issues that’s just even better
