    Age Swap AU where one change leads to many others.

    This starts at the Garrison, goes all the way to Kerberos, and on to, hopefully, form the universe's greatest defender. We'll just have to see if they make it that far.

    Summary

    Six months ago Shadow the Hedgehog died. Maddie hadn’t known much about this other hedgehog besides his allegiance to the Robotniks and his assault on Tom, so she was a little hesitant when Sonic insisted on having a symbolic funeral for him. Her son, almost to tears, explained Shadow’s history, his friend Maria, his change of heart, and his eventual sacrifice to save Earth. Maddie realized, much like her own sons, that Shadow was a kid who hurt a lot. But unlike her boys, he had no proper guidance, no place to call home, and no one to love him unconditionally. They held the funeral in their background and Sonic performed the eulogy, even though he only learned about the word ten minutes before. Maddie was proud of her sons’ empathy and maturity—even Knuckles refrained from punching anything unnecessarily.

    Five months ago gifts began showing up on their doorstep.

    Summary

    When Shadow woke, he was still alive, agonizingly alive, and he was falling.

    His first thought was of Maria, of warmth and music and stars. It always was.

    His second, though, was of Blue, of kindness and laughter and souls singing in harmony, until one was just gone.

    -

    Shadow doesn't know Sonic's name, but feels obligated to find his family and apologize to them for letting him die. Shadow is unaware that Sonic is very much not dead. It takes far too long to figure this out.

    Summary

    Splinter could not say he had ever taken the time to consider what it might have been like to meet another version of himself—one who had lived a similar life but had made different choices. He almost did not recognize himself at all in the fussy, short-tempered mutant sitting beside him.

    From the way Lou was acting, it was as if he was any ordinary parent whose ordinary children had been taken in the night.

    Summary

    Nine fishes Shadow out of that trench and finds a better use for him. Sonic seems to care for him, he reasons, so who better to use as bait?

    Unable to fight back directly, Shadow has to take a different approach, and hope that Nine's plan never comes to fruition.
