    Summary

    "I want my brother back, Abraham."

    "Your...Your brother- You mean Project Shadow!?"

    --

    Maria Robotnik has lived for fifty years on the planet she once looked down upon from the ARK. She's had a fulfilling life, the medication she takes making her condition less life threatening and more chronic. Still, she's now in her 60s and she's not getting any younger. There's still one thing she wants more than anything. Her little brother. The reason she's still alive to begin with has been locked away all this time. He needs the chance to live a life of his own.

    And it's hard to expect life to remain simple even when she does get him out. The world keeps turning and her cousin is still determined to take over it. Just as she and Shadow start to settle into a new normal, they have to fight for the world, though they're not alone in the fight.

    And Shadow? Shadow is quickly learning that even in the new "normal" everything is somehow weirder than his life on the ARK. Especially when encountering a certain blue hedgehog.

    Summary

    Maria has come to a realization: she's going to die. Naturally, she takes this about as well as one could expect; after all, even she has her limits. Upon realizing that she's the sacrificial lamb that pushes Shadow towards his future, she can't help but be upset that she's the price of the world's survival.

    When she meets a new face in Amy Rose, the latter gets to see how the lamb feels about being led to the slaughter, and how much it hurts to be a supporting character in someone else's life. Amy isn't content to let Maria face this news alone; she'll do whatever it takes to help her through this time.

    Even if it means helping Maria find a way to change the past.

    Summary

    Shadow made the ultimate sacrifice. He warned Professor Gerald of Maria’s fate, saving her but damning himself in the process. Based upon the Professor’s hypothesis, he initially believed that he would cease to exist. He suffered a far worse outcome. Cast out into the void beyond time and space, he must share his newfound prison with the very entity he trapped there.

    Mephiles.

    Meanwhile, a new timeline was born, one where Maria got the chance to grow up. Different versions of Sonic and Shadow nurse a budding relationship. What will become of them when both worlds collide?

    Summary

    Sometimes, all it takes for the world to change...is a little timing. Suppose GUN found out that Gerald was jerking them around a little earlier, when Shadow wasn't as grown/developed? Suppose his escape pod was just damaged enough that GUN never found him, in all those years? What might he become, without Gerald's manipulations? What might he feel, younger and still bereaved? And what might he decide, in a little house by Never Lake, with the person who found him instead?

    A look into how things might have gone for Shadow, if the worst day of his life hadn't been followed by GUN and Gerald each trying to outdo it. Rated T due to Maria's final moments, realistically described, and for references to emotional/psych abuse by Gerald to keep his medical experiment compliant.

    By definition; it's seeing something in a positive way, often thinking of it as better than it actually is.

    But for these two it's a wild tale of overcoming differences and odds, with danger looming on the horizon. Throughout it all, they try to remain optimistic that everything could work out for a new beginning, but maybe they're blinded by the rose-tinted glasses...

    Shadow wakes up in an unfamiliar bed with amnesia and finds that a vaguely familiar pink hedgehog took him in, promising to take care of him until he remembers everything. He keeps a journal while he’s there so he can at least remember some things over time.

    Summary

    What if you had the chance to walk into your past and change everything?

    When a battle with the baddie of the week becomes a Master Emerald-sized problem, Shadow and Sonic are in the heart of it. Now able to transport more than just sandwiches with his portals, the Sandomancer uses his newfound power to send Shadow on a dive through reality. Sonic attempts to save him and gets pulled along for the ride. They find themselves in a place that’s both familiar and completely foreign: Space Colony ARK, as it stood fifty years ago. As alarm bells start to ring, there’s no mistaking the date. Shadow’s priority is to get the hell out as soon as possible, and survive being stuck with Sonic for company, until he comes across a familiar sight. A black and red hedgehog running with a girl he knows like his own heartbeat.

    Chaos, they’re so young.

    Priorities change, and so does everything else.

    They don’t really talk about the war, which is really ironic considering the roles they played during it and the state of their relationship.

    It had been six months. Too many restless nights. Dozens of promising leads with disappointing dead ends. No clues regarding the red wolf's whereabouts. Hell - a whole global war had even started during his absence. And now here Gadget stood - alive - just a few feet before him. Infinite took a step forward, mouth still agape in disbelief.

    Summary

    This is a one-shot series built as a sequel to Poppy Playtime ~ An Angel’s Bleeding Heart.

    Similar to Playtime’s Tragedy, however this contains the lovely moments and humorous misadventures of Gabriel and the toys of Playtime.co. Though there may still be the sting of past traumas, they become completely overshadowed by the bonds they share.

    That, and some tooth-rotting fluff for good measure…

    (PS, sometimes I get burned out writing the main story and just want to write some fluff because I want to see these characters happy already!)

    This fic had a different name, but I changed it because someone already taken it.
