Summary

So similar to both Metal Sonic and the real Sonic, the robot 'Zip' seems to be the key to finding Eggman and saving Sonic.

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
It really is funny how long it takes before Maddie realizes that their new alien roommate only wears three items of clothing: socks, shoes, and gloves. That’s it.
But unless alien gloves have some sort of magic that keeps them pure white, Maddie knows something has to be up. With as much exploring and adventuring their little blue friend does throughout the woods of Green Hills, there’s no way they haven’t gotten a speck of dirt on them at least once. So it’s only a matter of time before it happens in front of her own eyes.
---
Aka Maddie slowly comes to understand why her alien sons are so skittish about taking their gloves off.
