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
With a gurgled scream he's tossed back into the ocean. The waters rush to embrace their stolen child, but now, instead of their enclosure being a comfort, it's suffocating.
He thrashes, desperate, trying to swim but... but he can't.
Panic and fear washes over him as he slowly starts to sink to the bottom of the ocean floor, a trail of blood flowing from the spots his fins were supposed to be.
He's a shark mer. He needs his fins to swim, but... but they're gone. Taken. Stolen. Sawed away by those monsters. His fins... are gone.
Dick lets out a terrified shrill as he sinks down, down, down.... drowning.
For years he's been told to stay clear of the monsters above the ocean. Been told how there were humans that wouldn't hesitate to tear his fins off his body. But never in his life had he expected for it to actually happen to him. Now Dick's drowning, unable to move, defenseless, and... No.
No, no, no, no—
There's a something big swimming right toward him.
(OR Bruce Wayne finds a dying, de-finned shark mer and he does what anyone sensible would do: he takes him in and looks after him, all the while wondering if 26 is a bit too young to adopt.)

Summary
Wild has been acting off ever since the chain approached the ruins of Deya Village. There's just something that isn't right about this place. Luckily, Warriors and Sky are keen observers, and notice that something isn't quite right with the champion. And through their shared surveillance over Wild, they realize that they aren't such different people either - they're both afraid.

Summary
Sky never cried. Never yelled. Never snapped. He was calm, polite—eerily steady. The others thought he was just emotionally controlled. But Sky wasn’t like them. He was the first. From a time before evolution trimmed instincts and stilled the body. His ears still moved with every feeling—twitching, perking, drooping—and no one noticed. Not until one night, when his ears sagged low and silent, and the Chain finally realized: he hadn’t been hiding his emotions. They just hadn’t known how to read them.
Or: Sky's ears are severely outdated in the Chains opinion.
