Summary
He’s been locked away for years and now that he’s free he doesn’t know if he’ll ever be able to stop running. Even when his legs shake, his chest hurts, he can’t stop. Not now, not ever. But why is he running? Why can’t he trust anyone?
What happened in that facility?

Summary
Shadow needs money for Maria’s medical bills. Under the alias Terios, he finds steady work at the club ‘Obscura’, selling his body and offering other well-paid services. He doesn’t care — as long as he gets paid, the details don’t matter.
It’s easy to fall into the routine of it.
He can almost pretend he doesn’t mind. He can almost pretend it’s not slowly killing him. He can almost pretend he’s fine.The routine is broken when the local library hires a new assistant.

Summary
“The food on the ARK is okay, but I really miss the cooking on Earth. Before I got sick, I went with my family to Spagonia. The food there was amazing! Have you found a favourite food? All I’ve ever seen you have is coffee.”
- Maria Robotnik to Shadow, Sonic X Shadow GenerationsDuring quieter times, Shadow makes plans to visit Spagonia, wishing to experience the cooking Maria swore by when he met her in White Space in an attempt to get to know her life on Earth better. (Un-)Fortunately, Sonic has the time show him around the place, which turns out to be a bigger help than Shadow would've ever thought. Now if only that didn't also make it harder for the hybrid to keep up his prickly walls that he's set up ever since that one fateful encounter with Sonic on the lily field...
Perhaps Sonic has been right all along and he should be more honest with himself.
As Shadow struggles, he quickly discovers that Sonic is hiding some secrets of his own.

Summary
Princess Sally Acorn is getting married! To celebrate the momentous occasion, all of Acorn's most famous former residents are headed home, including Amy Rose, Tails the Fox, Rouge the Bat, and Sonic the Hedgehog. Except Sonic is also bringing a date: his new boyfriend, Shadow the Hedgehog, who didn't know anything at all about the Kingdom of Acorn until last week.
Here in Sonic's former homeland, Shadow is forced to navigate countless trials, including introducing himself to his partner's parents, trying to make sense of Acorn's history, being framed for murder, relationship drama, attending his partner's ex's wedding, the ethics of robot hedgehogs (store-bought or homemade), having his mind partially consumed by some sort of eldritch horror no one else seems worried about, dinner parties, and more!
[This is a slightly crack AU premise where most of Archie lore is canon, except for Shadow, who has only experienced what has happened in the games. No prior knowledge of Archie is required, because Shadow hasn't read the comics either.]
