[ROSE IN A FIELD OF INNOCENT TULIPS]

Summary:

Despite its appeal, the thorns of a rose make it look evil. Some people are able to see past it, some believe it is its "true nature". Shadow decides to make his own opinion, even if his hands get punctured in the process.

OR

Shadow falls in a figurative rabbit hole and can't decide whether to call for help or dive deeper.

Chapter 1: mini (huge) announcement

Chapter Text

heyyyy......... its been a while..........

There are many things I want to address, but I'll start with why I've been on hiatus . First and foremost, school (and the mental illnesses it worsens) ! I could talk about it for literal hours, but for the sake of my privacy and dignity, I'll keep it short . My mental and physical health have majorly declined over 2025, partly because of school, partly because of previous health issues, partly because of family, etc etc . This year school-wise is easily the hardest one I've had to face, and I've had to spend a LOT more of my time on it than I planned, which resulted in me not uploading chapters regularly .

On top of that, I lost interest in Sonic and Sonic.exe stuff little after posting the third chapter, so it was basically impossible for me to continue writing more . Luckily, I'm back into it now, so hopefully I'll atleast get 1 chapter out before falling out of it once again !

 

Now...... some of the people that were here when i posted the chapters 1-3 may have noticed something . "pur3, where have all the chapters gone ?" And to that I say, I'm rewriting the whole thing ! Not only did my first attempt at a fanfic happen to include a very cringy mid-chapter 3rd person POV switch to 1st person POV, but it had SO. MANY. PLOT HOLES . Since I have now developed the story further, all it takes is writing it without as many issues .

But before I can do such a thing, I need to confess . I may or may not have informed my teacher of this fanfic (BIGGEST MISTAKE I'VE DONE, BURN ME AT THE STAKE) . So if you're reading this dear teacher, hi ! Please leave and never open this work again ! Not only would I like to keep my dignity intact, but I would also like it if my parents didn't wake me up early because of a silly little fanfiction about 2 toxic hedgehogs . Thank you !

Now that that's over with, lemme go about the contents of this fanfic (and its warnings) . I was thinking about writing smut in it, but the knowledge of my teacher having access to this work haunts me too much . THEREFORE, the smut will be implied ! (Sorry .) Furthermore, there will be no non-con or underage sex in this fic, so don't worry about that . (NOT sorry !) I think that's all there is to say .

Again, sorry to have been gone for so long, though I can't promise anything when it comes to regular chapters because of reasons I previously mentioned. Thanks to all who have been patient !

Chapter 1 is in the works ;3
