#TurtleComMo Day 19 SILENT SOLDIERS by speakingofalice archiveofourown.org/works/3557402 #TMNT captured! THIS IS A #WHUMP FIC. #Leonardo and #Raphael, imprisoned. No talking. No eating. No exit. No escape. Torture slowly distorts their grip on reality. NOT a death!fic, but more hurt than comfort.

Screencap of an Ao3 comment box.
"Comment as Kyabetsu: Oh, speakingofalice! This is the most WHUMP-TACULAR WHUMP I've ever seen BEWHUMPED on a turtle! I appreciate how you kept our focus locked tight (like our turtles) on what Leo and Raph could see and understand. There's room on this earth for all kinds of POVs, but because of the limits you set on the reader, the fear and the helpless confusion that the turtles feel is shared by your audience! Bravo! Excellent technique.

And the torture? Horrifyingly sadistic! One can't speak? The other can't eat? There's no way out? There's no demands? No one to punch? Nothing to exploit? The absolute loss of agency! The lack of sanitation! The use of each other as hostages against one another! GLORIOUS. (But sweet geebus, I hope you never get a proper super-villain budget.) I could barely handle the emotions from just *reading* about your trap! You put the boys through so, so much--and my eyes were wet by the time the rescue arrived. Thank you so much for letting their family save them. Now I can imagine their long recovery. :D --Kya <3"

"Comment as Kyabetsu: Oh, Hummerhouse! You are a unique challenge here on Ao3. With more than 330 TMNT fics--where do I even start commenting?! I love them all! Your 2003!TMNT boys' voices are so crystal clear, I honestly suspect you used to write for the 2003 TV show. ;) I decided the best way to tackle commenting was to start at the beginning. Maybe not the first TMNT fic you wrote, but the first of yours that I read and bookmarked.

VERSATILITY holds a special place in my heart-brain. It clued me into your mega-library of turtle adventures! (THANK YOU!) Reading it is like watching a 3-part episode behind my eyelids! The seamless teamwork, the guys' classic ninja moves, the baddies who are tougher than we thought, the crazy prison setting that's absolutely a real part of NYC history?! Look, if Fox kids could have shown Donatello setting up a time-delay explosion using sacks of cocaine, they could have paid you for this script. (And the spotlight being on Big D? Hahaha, I <3 DONATELLO STORIES! You write him brilliantly!) --Kya <3"

"Comment as Kyabetsu: GoblinCatKC, I love this fic so so so so much. I come back to it multiple times a year and scare myself stupid over it.

Ghosts and spirits are one of my favorite horror baddies, if only because there's so few defenses against them! They appear when then want. They're intangible when they want. They communicate when they want. There are rules, but you don't know them. They're hungry, angry, evil, desperate, unknowable, implacable, unpunchable forces! And you write them so deliciously well.

From the incredible atmosphere--the wet and the rust and the silence and the dark--to the suspense!! With the ink-bleeding talismans and the failing lights and the wet foot prints beyond the salt ring??? Oh lord, i'm spooked just remembering the tension you built! AND THE JUMP SCARES!! How did you *write* jump scares?! That's crazy!! Holy shit, my heart explodes re-reading Leo in that cramped room. I bite through my nails when Mikey gets dragged into the dark. I'm screaming and screaming and I adore you for it. Thank you so much for posting this whole series. --Kya <3"

#TurtleComMo Day 16 BONDAGE by skandron archiveofourown.org/works/1239823 [Mature] #TMNT Feudal-Japan-Inspired #Fantasy AU. #Raphael, #Samurai #General, rescues #Donatello, an enslaved Terrapin citizen. #Don discovers freedom & danger in Lord #Leonardo's court. (technically not #tcest but close)

Screencap of Ao3 Comment box:
"Comment as Kyabetsu: It's been years since I last commented, but your fic still has me in its thrall. I absolutely revisit, reread, and recommend it whenever possible. Even if there's never another update on it, it's hands down one of my top 5 favorites of all time. I cannot begin to cover all the ways that Donatello's journey from terrified slave to determined bonded man eases something inside my soul.

I do still intend to leave an in-depth review on every chapter. Please forgive me for keeping my comment brief this time. Just know that I love everything about this AU fantasy world you have built. The Terrapin clans, the different races, Leonardo as Lord of Turtles, Raphael as his dangerous general, Michelangelo as his brilliant consort, and Donatello... who is healing and discovering his own sense of self. Truly, this whole work is a gift.

"Comment as Kyabetsu: I love your story! The way you have juggled the clear voices of both shows' ensemble cast is just mind-blowing! I can absolutely see all these characters in my mind's eye delivering your dialogue. Brilliant work!

And the way you've woven the TMNT cast into the official ATLA plot leaves me bouncing for joy. Crucial plot beats are still there, but morphed by the introduction of new characters and influences in a way that keeps the whole thing feeling fresh without dragging the plot off its tracks. That takes mad skills!

I saw your note about your health issues. I'm sorry you're going through so much. It's been a few years now, so hopefully that pain is under management and you're well into your recovery. I've also lost some years to disability and my heart goes out to you. No matter what happens with this story, I'm grateful for everything you've shared. Thank you! --Kya<3"

"Comment as Kyabetsu: Your turtles are so high-energy! hahaha! Leo's half asleep and Don just wants help passing a video game level, but you write their thoughts & their dialogue like their brains zip-zap everywhere! 10,000% hyper kids! Perfect! I adore them!

The inner monologues! The weird metaphors! The Donatello(tm) turns of phrase! The Leonardo(tm) Sass! I feel like I just read an episode script. I'm howling. This is complete delight. Donnie rambles about bricklayers and necromancy and the history of video games, while poor Leonardo, knowing his brother's habits, keeps nudging him back on topic. They bounce off each other so well! You make them so comfortably familiar with each other, yet antagonistic without being mean, while being just the right amount of brotherly-annoying. You're so talented. I could read chapters and chapters of the guys in your voice and stay thrilled with every tap of the down arrow.

Screencap of ao3 comment box.
"Comment as Kyabetsu: I adore this fic! It warms me every time I re-read it. Your Raphael's voice is so very, very clear. His brash confidence, his deep frustration, his gruff protective nature, and his self-recriminations are all on display in your fic. He's glorious.

And how you write his family understanding him! Just as surely as Raphael knows that Leo is beating himself up for not being perfect, Leo knows that when Raph kicks him and calls him an asshole, he's just worried. Leo and Donnie know he won't be completely honest about his wounds. All three of his brothers know he'll fight them about endangering themselves to rescue him. And even Casey! His whole crew knows that while he might not say 'thank you' for the rescue or 'i love you guys' on the way home, when he lets them fuss over him, when he lets them chide him, when he lets them decide what's best without putting up a fight, that's practically the same thing in Raph language. I love how you wrote them all there for him. Thank you for sharing this! --Kya <3"

"Comment as Kyabetsu: T33la, I've bookmarked a number of your fics specifically so I remember to go back and comment on all of them! I love your version(s) of the Turtles so much!

This fic reads like the *best* kind of TMNT comic. I can practically see the page layouts: gutters and spot blacks and glistening white foam on the incoming choppy water. The first time I read this fic it was still in progress, and it felt like I was holding my breath along with Raphael. OMG. I still get chills re-reading it! Chills from the suspense, of course, but also from the cold rain and the November tides. (Also from the wet rats. UGH! Nobody wants wet rats. And that close to the water front, those were probably big-ass wharf rats, too. aaaaaa.) That the rest of the clan shows up and saves the day is such a relief.

"Comment as Kyabetsu: Oh my stars, this comment is overdue! I have lost track of the number of times i've recommended this fic to friends, but every time I have, I've re-read all the posted chapters with a huge smile on my face.

I cannot begin to explain all the way these turtles' love & communication speaks to my soul. You write their depth of feeling for one another with such a profound purity, it borders on holy. That it's all tied to an exploration of self-acceptance as non-humans, the acknowledgement that mutants have to make their own rules, & the decoupling of sexuality from the drive for interconnectedness & care, is brilliant in ways that bring me back to this fiction again & again. Asexuality is rarely so intimately explored. AND This fic isn't all introspection! There's also the extreme contrast of the turtles' love for each other with the violence of the sex-trafficking rings. The clash between these two plots: one of comfort and one of battle is the energy that compels the reader eagerly through every chapter! Thank you so much for this. --Kya <3"

But just because my praise is delayed doesn't mean it isn't heartfelt! That this fic is from 1997!! A brilliant pre-cursor to stories like SAINW and The Last Ronin! You're visionary. Lemme tell you. I got such intense "1984" Orwellian vibes from this. Michelangelo, trapped in an office job as a drone worker. Michelangelo, smuggling contraband. Michelangelo, hunted by the state!

Leonardo, so lost and hurt and afraid, finds friends and healing. He's given time to adapt to his new disability, even if that time is full of frustrations and yearning to be normal and home with family again. Even that hard time is still time well-spent with its own rewards for the life it unlocks for him. And then he's HOME. HOME AND LOVED. I read and re-read and re-read those chapters. Reunion and relief! To be held, cherished, and surrounded by the people you love most in the world. To have the balm of being found at last after years of separation. Oh, goodness, my crops are watered, my skin is clear, my heart is singing. That his family has to adapt to him now? That he has to adapt to their adapting? Brilliant. Perfect.

"Comment as Kyabetsu: I've had this fic in my bookmarks for yonks, and every time I stumble over it again, I have to stop and re-read it. Bayverse characters rarely get this kind of close treatment. This is certainly the first time I've seen April's boss, Bernadette in a fic! You flesh out her inner life so completely. Learning that she's just as hard on herself as she is on her newsroom, I find myself forgiving her for her brusque treatment of April and her crazy-talk of turtles. Seeing her put her money where her mouth is--going right up to the edge of the platform of a runaway train?! She's brave! Seeing her keep her wits about her when she's trapped under 15 tons of station and 300lbs of mutant turtle? She's steady under pressure! Seeing her slowly trauma-bond with a heroic and genuine young man? I fall in love with her. Watching her mentally adopt Donatello???? My heart explodes! She comforts him. She supports him (with bricks). She reassures him with her (not-quite) last breath. And even when the dust has cleared... she guards the family he loves. Thank you for introducing her to me.

The 2007!TMNT struggle to overcome their force isolation and years of alienation hurting them all. Your brilliant insight? More than the 13 monsters or the Stone Generals, who are all tangible and punchable, the forces that keep the bros apart are pride, fear, and assumptions.

Fighting pride and fear involves the quiet efforts you've told here: gentle questions, honest stories, jokes in good humor, and single-minded, laser-focused event planning. I love your emotional savant Michelangelo. I ache for Leonardo the Over-Thinker. I'm proud of Donatello. Raph. Oh, Raph. Never change. !Viva Miguelita! --Kya <3"

"Comment as Kyabetsu: On the umpteen-billionth re-read of this delightful apocalyptic romp, I realized I'd never left a comment! I ADORE this fic. It's such a bright future, even with the world falling apart around the 2012!crew. It's full of hope. It's brief, but potent. It's wistful, but silly. It's sassy, quippy, and intelligent--a perfect match for Donatello's cynical but earnest POV. And the couple! Apritello told in peeks through a keyhole. Tiny vignettes of reasons for them to fall in love with each other, over and over again. The bee, the moview, the personalized gun, the trauma-bonding, the choosing each other and choosing hope every time. It makes me fall in love with them, too. (Plus, Raph and Casey are perfect.) --Kya <3

Some #TMNT collectibles are too weird, even for me.
