XD *glomps story* I’m so glad your stories are around whenever I get back into the mood for some TMNT (even more so when I find the story pile got bigger in my absence). This last chapter just made me want to hug Raph and squish the sad out of him (and I totally had a face splitting grin when Tiger chose Raph over Mikey). Off to the next story in the series with me

Really great story. I loved how it was short, got to the point, and it was a good mini sequel to "bonds"!

I really enjoyed the final chapter where Raph finally opens up to and names "tiger". I found it a very emotional moment because we see him finally open up and let his feelings run rampid. Again, what i loved from "bonds" and that you continue here is that we see Raph in sucha vulnerable state where at any moment he'll just break down and cry. I love how he bonds with her in the end and i am excited to see how their relationship progresses in the future. I honestly did not know i would care so much for Tiger in tnis story! Great job!.

Plus i love the relationship Mikey has with Tiger, it's honestly just adorable. Mikeys honestly hilarous and you've nailed his humour in this story!

I cried on my cat once. She got all wet. But she put up with it until I was done.

I love the way that some animals seem to sense who needs them most at the time. It's incredible. I can especially relate to what Raph is going through, and I love that Tiger could help him out. :) Wonderful chapter as usual!

Jeez, Raph is so stubborn. It's nice to see his walls come down though, even for a little bit. And Tiger claiming him, I'm not that surprised. He sure has a way with animals.

Fantastic job as always, looking forward to your next story!

:( It's so sad having to deal with knowing that stuff is going to happen, whether you want it to or not. Such a horrible helpless situation to be in. YOU made me cry! You need to stop that! I feel bad for all of them, but I have a special place in my heart for Raph ...AND I HATE seeing him go through this. Tiger is a special kitty. My chickies and my cat have been there for me in times of need. Animals are so intuitive and they sense our emotions with a deep understanding. Raph needed someone to be there for him and tiger was. Such a shame this story is already over, but it was a great one, so thank you so much for sharing it with us. Love you girl!

Lol do you really think getting a new computer could save you from the Black List? HA. I'm... erm... he's watching you.
And I totally didn't hijack Mikell's account.

Whatever. We're watching you. :-/

(heheh, I couldn't resist.)

On a personal note... I don't know if you knew- my Pumpkin was meant to be a gift for my dear friend Laura upon the loss of her second 21-yo cat, but she moved to the City soon after Pumpkin's rescue from Craigslist, and we became sort of her foster family- Laura would come to visit when she was in town, and Pumpkin would sleep with her, and when she left, revert back to my bed.
She has remained with me since Laura's passing, a little reminder of my friend and her endless love and laughter and hope.

This resonated, as your work often does. You're an amazing writer, Lady. I hope you'll share more of your talent with the world soon. 3

LOL Now that Leo told him he doesn't "have" to like the cat, he's bound to fall in love. XD
They're never more adorable than when interacting with children and pets- just like any very-strong person.
(And, if you let it slip to Leo that i called him adorable, I swear I'll make a copy of that voicemail off April's machine and give it to Mikey and tell him you did it.) ;)

Love you!
Mary

Despite the more serious understands, I loved Leo's bonding with Tiger. Very fun!

I've always loved the relationship between Leo and Raph the most. Theres always been a sort of "soft tone" when they do behave themselves and you can't help but feel like they WILL always have each other's backs. It's quite reassuring actually. These little moments of talking about what's the next move going to be is the first step for feeling better. It's so important and it definitely keeps you from crumbling. You don't feel as alone as you might have and sharing problems can lighten the load for you to carry. RIGHT ON THE MONEY SARAH! Great job!

Great chapter! I love the banter between Leo and Raph, it's always entertaining. And you threw in some of Leo's bad cooking too, yay!

All in all, a fantastic chapter like always, looking forward to more!

MY GOD MIKEY! AHAHAHA! You are being WAY too extra right now. The goofball can't miss out on the hazing for one second huh? And look at Luke going into his typical Doctor mode every second of every day...don't you get tired of playing doctor?! You have to be getting tired...oh, wait. (realizes I've read all the other stories that follow after this) yeah, no he doesn't. LEO BEING CUTE! Yes! And he likes being called it too! Even the responsible fearless ninja gets a little flustered! This is the best! ...Raphs the cutest though, just saying.

I LOVE THIS FAMILY! All the teasing and jokes...I love how the turtles can't really hide behind what they say and how they feel. The true intention reveals itself one way or another and because they are a super knitted family, it doesn't take much for them to notice each others behaviour is off. It all eventually comes out. Poor sweet innocent babies wear there hearts on there sleeves...if mutant turtles even have sleeves

great story, interesting oc's

Yay for April to see what the men miss XD. Love Leo's awkward message and the playful bickering that it spawned.
