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.

Fic links below the cut
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)
ok wait also. the famous bobby chasing john off the property with a shotgun line IS explained in the Supernatural: Bobby Singer’s Guide to Hunting book. Somewhere around the mid 90’s john drops Sam and Dean off with Bobby to go on a hunt in Montana and then essentially drops off the face of the earth. he’s gone for so long that Bobby eventually decides to tell Sam and Dean that he must have died. sam apparently takes awhile to process this and goes very quiet and dean gets really angry. bobby says this is the biggest fight he and dean ever had. then dean disappears into the night and returns hours later with john in tow. dean’d tried to hitchhike to montana on his own to find john and accidentally caught his dad, totally unharmed and completely fine (capable of answering bobby’s phone calls, bobby takes care to mention john did own a cellphone at this point), on the way back. john packs the boys into the impala and tells them they’re going to stay with somebody who “actually cares about them” and bobby becomes so enraged that he pulls out the shotgun and starts firing.
When you sneak out to watch the new sci-fi movie in theaters but your nerdy brother incidentally had the same idea:
Donnie and Leo would individually make intricate plans to sneak out to see “Project Hail Mary,” but somehow end up in the same theater. Incidentally, busting each other.
An old thing I did where I challenged myself to create my own semi realistic designs of as many naruto characters as I could. Choosing unique features for each character was reaaly fun.
the goal was for me to get better at drawing faces at the side but maybe the real challenge was trying to figure out what anime bangs look in this angle
