General Fics
Stories focused on the family and the friendly relationships of the cast. Plot-focused stories or light day-in-the-life stories. Pretty much anything that isn't focused on romance.
- Recommended by: Ironic Mouse
- Synopsis: When the boys are transported to the Real World, our world, they find themselves separated, alone and confused. A chance meeting will bring them together again, to face a danger none of them could have guessed at, from an unexpected source. Can four teenage heroes help heal the hearts of a teenage boy and his mother? Can two families, one from each dimension, be saved? What does it take to be a real hero?
- Comments: Something of note in this story. A lot of people have played the "characters find out about their fandom" for laughs, but Mikell is the first I've seen to play it for drama. After all, how would you feel if you found people had written Slash Fics about you and your brothers?
Shipping Fics
Stories focused on the romantic relationships between the cast.
- Recommended by: Ironic Mouse
- Synopsis: 20-year-old Michelangelo believes he has found his soul mate. Convinced she's "the one," Mikey buys a ring, but she refuses to meet his family. What dark secret is she hiding? Will Mike's true love be the one to destroy the Hamato clan?
- Pairing(s): Mikey/OC
- Comments: There is a Heel Face Turn in this story that is handled incredibly well. The character who has switched sides has to work to be accepted by the Turtles, and some are less willing than that the others to trust.
- Recommended by: Ironic Mouse
- Synopsis: Sequel to Mikey In Love. Raph helps a blind woman and makes an unlikely friend. Why are the local punks stealing dogs? What sinister secrets does Anitech Labs hide? How will they afford the meds Don needs? Will a love born in darkness survive the light?
- Pairing(s): Mikey/OC, Raph/OC
- Comments: Raph's romance is handled very well in this story, and it's incredibly adorable to see the rough-and-tumble Turtle fall for someone just as temperamental as him.
- Recommended by: Ironic Mouse
- Synopsis: Sequel to Raph And Ann. Don sets off alone from the farmhouse. He didn't count on running into trouble. When Beverly finds him in her brother's barn he's too injured and weak to escape on his own. She's afraid of her brother, but there's just something about this turtle.
- Pairing(s): Mikey/OC, Raph/OC, Don/OC
- Tags: Mood Whiplash (major Mood Whiplash)
- Comments: This fic has one of the most well-written, and yet utterly disturbing and depraved villains I've ever read. I can honestly say I've never been happier to see a villain get his comeuppance.
- Recommended by: Ironic Mouse
- Synopsis: Sequel to Donatello Lost. Leonardo's always been the protector, the defender, the Leader. When Raph is injured, why does the woman helping his brother have such a strange effect on him? Can he learn to forgive himself, embrace hope, and believe in love?
- Pairing(s): Mikey/OC, Raph/OC, Don/OC, Leo/OC
- Comments: This is one of the only Fan Fics I've ever read that manages to include explicit Christianity without feeling forced or preachy. A seriously good read.
