Ao3 comment box screencap "Comment as Kyabetsu: On the umpteen-billionth re-read of this delightful apocalyptic romp, I realized I'd never left a comment! I ADORE this fic. It's such a bright future, even with the world falling apart around the 2012!crew. It's full of hope. It's brief, but potent. It's wistful, but silly. It's sassy, quippy, and intelligent--a perfect match for Donatello's cynical but earnest POV. And the couple! Apritello told in peeks through a keyhole. Tiny vignettes of reasons for them to fall in love with each other, over and over again. The bee, the moview, the personalized gun, the trauma-bonding, the choosing each other and choosing hope every time. It makes me fall in love with them, too. (Plus, Raph and Casey are perfect.) --Kya <3
