Thank you for sharing this masterpiece with us. The characterizations were spot on and I love April and Raph together. This was a unique take on it and I really enjoyed it. Bravo!

Okay, it's kinda annoying that everyone seems to be in love with April. Honestly, you shoulda kinda backed off on the overdoing it praising of her and suffering of everyone else because of her. I see her as the bad one in this. There was a lot more things that could've replaced those continual gut spilling, agonizing, crying over her, and never getting over it.

Isn't it supposed to be bros before ho's?

Sorry, Raph and April gain no sympathy from me...

I really hate April in this. I have so many horrific words storming in my mind against her right now. Uuuhhhhh...

A well-written and amazing story! Thank you for giving us such wonderful characters with emotional depth. It was a pleasure to see them grow throughout the story.

I thought the "drugged out whore" comment was a bit out of character for Raph, since he is the most familiar with people from all walks of life and is the least judgmental of the older brothers. I don't think he would respect sex workers less than anyone else, because he recognizes that people make different choices and at the end of the day people are people.

Golly...

How can a chapter manage to make me laugh and cry uncontrollably? Don's interaction with Mikey on the phone and once he reached LH's lair was PRICELESS. I am still stuck on "feminine wiles" and "cookies". Don's reaction to April telling him her side of the story as well as him realizing that it was something about him personally that she wasn't attracted to was so tragic. I could see his pain dripping off this chapter.

Great work!

Wow!

This chapter was AMAZING and I really enjoy your writing style. The way you write Don is incredibly interesting and I can't wait to see what will happen as the story progresses.

I must admit, I admire how you described the feeling of Don losing control. It was creative, and I could feel all of the emotions.

Till next time,

Interesting story. I don't like the RaphXApril couple (I'm defiantly more of a DonnyXApril fan). However, I loved your writing, dialogue and portrayal of Donnie soo much. That is what really kept me reading! I wanted to constantly find out how Raph and Don would figure things out and how all the family members thought about the situation. Really a good read so thank you!

Very soap opera-ish... I mean literally felt like I was watching some TeleNovela show. Very much full of drama... and emotions. Woah!

That being said the whole thing was nice. Kept me hooked till 5am in the morning. Had to sleep though. Anyway, the grammar was good, spelling mistakes were few. Flow of the story pretty darn good.

Cheers.

Wow!
I know you wrote this like, a lifetime ago, but I just found it and enjoyed an amazing binge read! I absolutely loved your take on the fallout from a Raph/ April relationship! I think you got everyone's reactions and personalities spot on! I know there's more stories in this universe and I'm stoked to check them out. There's certainly so much more to be explored here!

Really wonderful, talented work and beautiful writing! Thanks for sharing your talent!

Here I am a year later re-reading this fic because it is so darn good! The angst, oh the angst!

Brilliant..your story is just brilliant! I've read the entire fic and it was really well done and the charcterization are really spot on..however honestly aprilxraph is seriously not my cup of tea heck april x anyone besides casey i just find it unacceptable..well thats just me..so aside from the whole raph x april side of story (which i honestly can't find in myself to read) everything was perfect till you make raph choose between his brother and april..well the only thing that i can see raph doing is whatever happens family will always come first..so the only scenario i can see is that raph chooses don and break up with april cause he just can't stand the thought of breaking his bond with his brother and tells don that and don being the most gentlest, considerate and kind turtle he is give his blessings cause he too want to see his brother happy or another scenario is that raph begs don..cause seriously for raph to just outright say he chooses april over don is not a scenario that i can really imagine and honestly it dissapoints me a bit cause i really find your story truely remarkable

I really like the storyline and how you ended the story!

Hi, first of all I gotta say that your grammar was really superb...its hard to see fanfics with good grammars..anyways this fanfic really have the potential and I can see you've done a very good job on the plot however there are certain things that are really not boding well with me..first thing first I'm really not a fan of any pairings in TMNT cause I can only see the quality that really strikes TMNT the most is their strong bond as a family...well I've only watched (and liked) TMNT 2003 version so I don't really know about the other vers so I can't say about others but for TMNT 2003 its strongly emphasized on the bonds between the four turtles and Splinter...well I'll just get to the point...the reason I've only reviewed this chapter so far is because of the chapter itself really intrigues me to write a review...when I read this chapter and when it mention that the time has come for Donnie and Raph to confront and possibly reconcile I was really excited on how on earth are your going to do it...well in the end I had to rate is as a so-so...a bit disappointing actually..the best part of this chapter is when Donnie came to realise on how Raph was deeply in love with April and he's finally able to let go of his feelings for April..its a very well character development on Donnie's part and I think you nailed it...but what infuriates me is the line when Raph says he will CHOOSE April over his OWN Family which is a very BIG NO NO...because the Raph that I know from the 2003 version will always and I mean it ALWAYS choose his family over ANYTHING...so yeah that parts a bit disappointing...well personally I really don't like it when situations where family bonds or friendship or best friends are jeopardized just because of a single girl its seriously not my cup of tea..sorry for being a bit emo but I just can't seem to picture Raph choosing a girl over his own family as a real thingy...well but thats just what Fanfictions are all about...Overall your writing skills are brilliant and your characteristics are very IC especially how you portrayed Leo (although Raph, April and Don are a bit slacking). I'll be looking forward for more fics from you in the future. _
