FAQs below!

Poster by @ellieskellyartwork! What is Reciprocity about?

Shortly after their acceptance by the human world, Leo is forcibly taken by an unknown entity. A terrible revelation from Leo's captor leads everyone to believe Leo is dead...everyone, except for Raph.

Raph can't explain the strange dreams he never seems to remember, either, or why he's started having panic attacks. And Raph definitely can't explain why this new Jones guy at school seems to be the only person who doesn't think he's crazy. Casey seems a little crazy himself, but with Raph still picking up the pieces of his family's shattered life, he'll take whatever help he can get on his mission to find Leo.

Wait...is Leo actually dead?

No! Leo is still alive! I personally can't handle fics where any of the turtles are dead because it's too sad for me lol! Leo is alive, but presumed dead by everyone but Raph.

What are the tags?

Is the fic finished?

The story is still a WIP. There are currently 22 chapters, and this masterpost will be updated with every new chapter release.

Will it have a happy ending?

YES!!! I promise that this story will have a happy ending!

How long will the fic be?

There will be 3 arcs in total. The first arc is just about to conclude in Chapter 23. I don't have an exact chapter count or estimate, sorry!

The last update was [X amount of time] ago. Is this fic abandoned?

I will not abandon this fic. However, I'm an adult in my mid-30s with a very time consuming job. Sometimes I work from home, and other times I'm on site. I also travel a lot, both for work and fun. I work on the fic when I can, and do not have a regular posting schedule. I'm sorry!

If you want to see more frequent updates about new chapter status, I am way more active over on Twitter!

Character info below (WIP)ˏˋ°•*⁀➷

001/Freckle as a Turtle Tot 🧡🐢

☆ they/them (it/its later added due to lore)

☆ takes a lot of the abuse due to its smaller size and considered a 'runt'

☆ blind in one eye

☆ they don't really talk (due to throat truama + lore)

☆ they grew up a lot more like a 'doll', or someone without really any themselves, if that makes sense, idrk the word rn (something like that I'm not sure yet)

☆ grew up obedient, fearful, and quiet

☆ 'Shredder's dog' + the medic

☆ this is just my excuse to torture Mikey lol

☆ more later...

002/Leader also as a turtle tot 💙🐢

☆ they/he (it/its not later added but is said)

☆ takes the lesser abuse due to Shredder seeing potential as a leader and not wanting it to be weak

☆ trained to be a leader (semi sucess)

☆ chubby child but baby fat does away when hes older

☆ grew up desperate for any affection and making people happy due to neglect

☆ more later...

The 'Sh'

☆ used the most on 001 due to it giving the role as pet/quiet medic

☆ used during blood draws, experiments, 'training', etc

☆ has a small Keychain of a dog since this is usually used for dogs

☆ painful due to 001/002 snouts being different from dogs (I think thats true but I still need to research a lot)

***Note(s)...***

♡ Happy Pride Month gang!!

♡ both 'creatures' discover themselves (their true selves, not just Shredder's dolls) behind Shredder's back and behind closed doors

♡ they also both rename themselves

♡ memories of their brothers/dad are blurry due to being taken at a young age (planning to set this when Splinter first took them up and Mikey almost dies)

♡ Shredder may be coming soon, but hints of her will appear in some drawings (such as the drawing of the hand and 001)

♡ designs will prob change in every post as creator is still trying out how everything will look like :3 (+creator really needs to do their research still lol)

If you saw what was here before...no you didn't shut u p

Who the f u c k is the bat on my pfp??? (I'm making a separate post of just exactly what kind of bat he is)

It’s about time I finally post my sona(??). This is Yoru. Just your average grumpy transmasc punk that Donnie is secretly trying to figure out. All while falling for him in the process. He's a struggling artist that rarely goes outside and loves space. Saturn is his favorite planet.

He ran away to New York at 13, ends up adopted by two dads, a cat named Plush by his side, and a new friend, April. She drags him into the sewers one day, since she feels like Yoru needs more friends. That's when he meets the turtles.

Mikey thinks he's the best artist he's ever seen and they are the art duo

Raph is happy that someone else is calmer than his brothers

Leo makes him a new victim of his one-liners

But Donnie...Donnie finds him fascinating. He feels that there's more to this bat yokai that he leads on. Yoru is on lock and key, Donnie is making it his mission to unlock him.
