[Now pick. Teenage, mutant, ninja, or turtle]

:mischief:

-Mournin'

Hiiiii!! I hope you are having a wonderful day!

This question is a tough one, but I'm gonna have to go turtle. But I kind of feel like that's the obvious answer, so maybe I should be more original and pick mutant lol.

Oh you know I'm gonna put my own Raph-centric fic recs

Blood Red - @veritas-dolos ~ Raph is thrown into an all-white room and left there. He's there too long. ~ This is probably my favorite fic ever. it actually made me cry and I've read it about 100 times.

Three Turtles Left - @veritas-dolos ~ Splinter died on the roof of the Wolf Hotel, and the Shredder was killed in the trash compactor by Casey Jones. Consumed by grief, Leo commits suicide. This is the aftermath, and Raph, Donnie, and Mikey are the three turtles left. ~ This fic also made me sobbbb. Its honestly so well written and so good.

Happy For You - veritas_dolos ~ Raph goes to Leo with some big news, but has a hard time believing Leo's reaction. ~ A really good hurt/comfort fic where Raph comes out to Leo.

The Road To Hell Is Paved With Good Intentions - veritas_dolos ~ He just wished his family would accept it and not shame him. He didn’t want to be turned away just because he had scars. They all had scars, but most of theirs were different from his. Or, Raph tells his family about his past self harm. Their reactions vary. ~ This is soooo good. I've read it a billion times.

When You Have Anger Issues - dudehowshouldiknow ~ Raph doesn't understand why they don't care. ~ This was one of the first tmnt fics I ever read. It really started my spiral into the tmnt fic obsession. It's less then 2000 words, so Its good for a quick read!

Raph and Stimming - burnt_milque_and_toast ~ It was no secret that Raphael was a very expressive turtle. He had a lot of emotion and energy to bottle up in such a small frame. Usually, though, it was much easier if he just… didn’t. ~ I really really liked this fic a whole lot. I read it in school, and I didn't stop thinking about it for the rest of the day. It's still lightly angsty, but more of a light read than the rest of the fics on here so far.

Under The Skin - Red Dragon (Red_Dragonn) ~ Bugs are bad enough when they're not trying to lay their eggs in your fucking flesh. Raphael has a run-in with a very nasty mutant. ~ I actually heard about this one here on tumblr, so I know It's been talked about on here before. But I can't recomend it enough. It's so good.

Traum - Empress_of_Weebs ~ After Raph gets into contact with an unknown gas, he becomes high. While in this state, he says some funny things to Leo. But he can't possibly mean them. Can he? ~ This is one of the only comfort fics I really really enjoy. It just really stuck a chord with me.

Fade Me Away - treluvd (thats me!) ~ After a battle with the Krang, Raph finds himself stuck between a large piece of debris and the wall, unable to free himself or to call for help. His brothers are racing against the clock to find him in time.

Now that he is home, his brothers do everything they can to nurse him back to health. ~ This is my current fic that I'm actually obsessed with right now. I'm about half way through, and I actually can't stop thinking about it. Give it a read pleaseeee.
