Summary
Sonic the Hedgehog has been missing for over a month now. All his friends and family are out looking for him, but every lead comes to a dead end. Then Shadow finds a strange new badnik. So similar to both Metal Sonic and the real Sonic, the robot 'Zip' seems to be the key to finding Eggman and saving Sonic.
What nobody knows is the mysterious new badnik is Sonic the Hedgehog himself. His whole body has been transformed into that of a robot, no thanks to egghead and a failed variant of the metal virus. But with his mind still in tact, Sonic communicates through sign language in order to team up with Shadow and the rest of his friends.
But is there a way to turn Sonic back into the hedgehog he once was? How will the others react when they find out the truth? Is 'Zip' all that Sonic is now? And what are these feelings Sonic gets when he's around Shadow in this new body? Follow our heroes and watch this story of mystery, determination, and love unravel.

Summary
The turtles had seen plenty of unfortunate, painful mutations over the years. They just never thought they would have one of their own go through the same experience. But when Donnie saves Casey from a mutated fate, the genius is reborn anew as a turtle-alligator hybrid. Controlled by instincts and uncertainty, it will be a long and hard journey to return Donnie back to normal. But as time goes on, is that even a possibility? How much is Donnie willing to sacrifice to fix himself? Thank goodness he has his family and friends (and maybe more than friend Casey Jones) there with him.
A 2012 "bimutated Donnie" au inspired by the "Good Genes" episodes of the 2003 cartoon, with Karai and Splinter being good family members, a friendship between Leatherhead and Donnie similar to the 03 show, and some endgame Jonatello.

Summary
"I guess I had one pretty shitty parent and one totally awesome parent, but you had both in Splinter."
Casey Jones has been experiencing the struggles that come with being part of the Hamato Clan for years. Now, it's Donnie's turn to join the drama and trauma of the Jones family. After a frightful encounter leaves them both physically and emotionally scarred, Casey and Donnie need to find a way to convince Casey's father to accept their relationship if they're going to work out. And once that's done, the Jones family has a lot to do in order to get the Hamatos and co. on good terms. Eventually bringing the two families together is the dream. But it will take a lot of change to become a reality.
A story that starts off with a bang and shows how Donnie and his family grow to become part of the Jones' household over time. With heavy angst but eventual fluff and lots of feels.

Summary
Caine takes their suggestions for ‘calmer’ adventures a little too far, and now Pomni is stuck playing house with Jax for the next seven days.
An exceedingly normal house in an exceedingly normal town with the exceedingly normal understanding that she and Jax are now the neighbourhood’s blushing newlyweds.
Neither of which knows exactly what to do with that, especially after the fight that revealed parts of themselves they’d both rather keep out of sight. It’s awkward at best, and it only spirals from there.

Summary
Watching him do it—popping the liners in the cupcake tin, scooping the batter with an ice cream scoop because he insists those are the secret tip to get the perfect amount of batter in each piece—she realizes she might be witnessing something she's probably not entitled to.
This big purple rabbit had a soft spot for baking.

Summary
After tireless tuning, Jax has perfected his sneering mask. The cost? Endless thinking, day in and day out, determining how to perform, when to push someone's buttons, and who to throw in front of moving trucks. The calculation is near-constant, but his fortress? Impenetrable.
Until Pomni quite literally (and accidentally) brings him to his knees.
After experimenting with her silly cartoon body, Pomni discovers she can do something pretty neat with her eyes that can stop Jax in his tracks, and he cannot stop thinking about how to make her do it again. What follows are shenanigans, a ridiculous situationship, and about a thousand excuses for why Jax definitely needs Pomni to do the spinny thing with her eyes one more time.
---
This is a multi-chapter romantic comedy revision of my one-shot "The Soft Parts," which takes place after where Pomni discovers she has a secret hypnosis power and Jax discovers he really likes being controlled.
