    Summary

    “Do you ever feel like your body is changing against your will? Turning you into something you’re not?”

    Sonic’s eyes stared at Shadow as he kept his own gaze on the ocean. “No matter what your body does or how out of control you may feel within it, you can and will regain control. You will still be Sonic. You always will be.”

    “Huh.” Sonic snorted and then laid back down. “I guess you’re right. I’ll always be Sonic.”

    Summary

    "At the facility, it smelled like antiseptic and gasoline," Shadow murmurs into the blanket. "Maria's room smelled like popcorn. They didn't let me stay there very often."

    "And here?" Stone asks, before he can stop himself.

    "Coffee beans and laundry," Shadow replies just as fast. He pauses. "It's nice."

    or: sometimes a family is a grieving ex-henchman and an alien hedgehog child.

    Summary

    The first few nights after “the Moon incident” were unsettling to say the least. The wreckage rising over the horizon instead of the whole, beautiful Moon felt like a metaphor for the onslaught of bad news in recent days. A bombing in Tokyo, unsanctioned military testing in Russia, an attack on a government facility in London, and a secret superweapon stolen, primed, and nearly fired onto the planet sounded like the plot of an action flick too many sequels into its premise.

    Despite it all, the world kept turning. Mail needed to be fetched, tea needed to be brewed, and tomorrow morning, fences needed to be mended. On a ranch house in the middle of bumfuck nowhere, a woman reclined in her patio chair, nursing a glass of tea after a hard day. Flyaway hairs from her bun stuck to her slightly sweaty face, just enough to be annoying but not enough to fix it. Taking in a deep breath, Olivia enjoyed the last few minutes of the sunset. Another peaceful day on the peaceful planet.

    BANG.
