Screencap of an Ao3 Comment box. "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"

Screencap of Ao3 comment box. "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"

#TMNT2003 kick butts & take names in this no-holds barred adventure. Feels like a 3-parter from the show! #Leo, #Don, #Mikey, & #Raph destroy a drug dealing gang's lab in a fireball seen for miles. Donnie is MVP. ;)
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"

#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.
Congrats on your job and apartment! Sounds exhausting but also, very exciting. Enjoy and have fun!
I totally would if I could afford it

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. Thank you so much for sharing it with us. --Kya <3"

I am seriously hooked on this series. Never been as interested in Shredder as I am right now. He's not really an anti-hero or anti-villain - not sure what he is, and he doesn't seem to know either. #tmnt #tmntshredder @danpgwatters.bsky.social

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"

Screencap of Ao3 Comment box. "Comment as Kyabetsu: I can't believe there's no comments here. HOW are there no comments here?! I bookmarked this fic aeons ago. I left a kudos. You'll have to forgive me for my own delay commenting. My health wasn't great back then. 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! The Rations were a brilliant touch. And Donatello--glorious genius Donatello. No one could give more to his family than that. All of them did everything they could. This was incredibly bitter-sweet and so potent. Thank you for posting it here for us. --Kya <3"

screencap of ao3 comment box. "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. YES, please with the blankets, clean sheets, and gag gifts. Bros deserve all the ponies. :) Thanks for sharing this with us! --Kya <3"

Reads like a #TMNT comic book! Separated in battle, #Donatello is on his own to rescue #Raphael, trapped beneath pilings as the high November tide comes in. The freezing water is dark and deep. Time is running out.
