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
'With the room quiet, it was easy to hear the soft sniffles as Donnie failed to hold back his tears. Casey thumbed his cheeks, watching the shimmer of red roll down the vampire’s face. One reason Donnie hated crying was because his body was made almost entirely of blood, and when he wept the vital liquid also poured from his eyes. Casey thought it was fucking awesome.'
After a long day of training, vampire hunter Casey Jones just wants to sleep. But he has a change in schedule when his vampire boyfriend Donatello returns from his trip to Japan. The two share a night together full of confessions, kisses, and trying new things. That being, Donnie drinking Casey's blood for the first time.
A vampire Donnie X vampire hunter Casey Jones au one-shot. Contains enough fluff to stuff a pillow, lore-dumps, vampiric tendencies, good-natured humor, and gay boys being gay.

After 300 years spent asleep under the ice, Jack Frost awakes as a Frost Giant. He loves his winter magic but doesn't love that humans think he's an evil monster and want him dead. He spends his days talking to the wind and moon, but longs for answers about his past and someone to call a friend.
One day he goes to Berk and saves a half-dragon, half-human boy from being killed by the Chief. The boy is hurt so Jack helps him get back on his feet (literally). In the process, they both learn a lot about the big, mystical land they live in. Now it's the two of them, and the last remaining Night Fury, against the world.
A story of families new and old, magic and myths, war and peace, and most importantly, love.

Summary
“Wild, stop!”
“Huh?” The teen looked over at Sky, who bowed in reverence at the train. Sparkles of awe shined in his eyes at the machine, so Wind hoped he won’t hafta worry about the airlubber.
“This might be the guardian spirit of this land. So we shouldn’t be attacking it carelessly.”
Take it back. Sky may be just as bad as Wild. “Uh, I said it’s a train. You’ve never seen one either? A vehicle for transportation. Man, you’re sheltered.”
