Evil Twin by lost-katana

Mikey is convinced that two of his brothers are evil twins and records all three of their actions for a week to find out who. But when he only finds one, it leads to a very important lesson on good and evil. A chibi tale. Rated: K

Reader Note: It's a chibi-turtle fic. This type of fic I blame solely on the 2003 series which actually has the occasional random episode of the boys as little kids. It's sweet with a lesson learned at the end. Little Mikey reads enough comics to know that there's always an Evil Twin and since he and his brothers are essentially two sets of twins that means that two of his brothers have to be Evil, right? And he's determined to figure out which ones...

Santatello by Cynlee

Reader Note: A chibi-turtle story that’s extremely sweet, but also increased my respect for Master Splinter. Hell, a lot of the chibi-turtle fics increase my respect for him because they tend to bring home the fact that he's essentially a homeless man doomed to remain homeless for his entire life and yet he's still determined to properly raise four little boys on his own. This particular story delves into one of his sons realizing that fact as well.
