Irreplaceable by Donny's Boy (PG)
Fandom: TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES
Pairing: None
Length: 10,430 words
Author's LJ: Author on Youtube
Author's Webpage: Author on FF.Net
Why this must be read:
The CGI movie came out in March 2007 and spawned a whole new batch of fanfic. The movie was rather awesome and made many fans very, very happy, but there was just enough NOT covered to give writers incentive to write.
Early in the movie we see that Raph and Donatello aren't exactly getting along these days (Raph's being a jerk, Don's being condescending). By the end of the movie we're left to assume that all is well - but the two of them really never interact at all for the rest of the movie. So what went wrong, exactly, that had them at each other's throats in the first place? And was it really resolved that easily?
Irreplaceable is one of the many fics that tackled this subject and Donny's Boy worked his own story into there as well. Recent oddities in Donatello's behavior have caused Raphael to take another look at his brother and re-evaluate the way they treat each other. It's a nice change from the plethora of fluffy epilogue fics that have Raph and Don just magically deciding they aren't mad at each other anymore. After all - anyone who has a sibling knows it's never that easy, right?
Though Raph enjoyed being right - and enjoyed its corollary: Leo being wrong - he couldn’t completely ignore the twinge of discomfort in the pit of his stomach.
Don had covered for him, and Raph didn’t know why. It’s not like he’d done anything lately to get into Don’s good graces. Quite the opposite, actually, and Don sure hadn’t endeared himself to Raph. And this was a bit worrying, because Donatello always had a very careful, very meticulously-considered reason for everything he did.
Always.
