    Summary

    The thing is that Sonic’s…interactions with Shadow have been characterised by nothing but contradictions. And Shadow hasn’t yet learned how to not be frustrated by it.

    Their first meeting. Sonic looking up at him with fear and hostility, but also curiosity and wide-eyed sincerity. Sharing the emeralds with him and trusting him enough to destroy the Ark even when every other moment before that was laced with uncertainty and hesitance. Reaching for Shadow before he fell to Earth - gold and blue flickering across his fur like static - even though Shadow had treated him with nothing but aggression and disdain to that point.

    Calling Shadow his rival, complaining about his meanness and dark scowl, but still turning up at his door to challenge him to a race and pushing at Shadow’s shoulder in a way that can’t be described in any other way than friendly.

     

    --

    Shadow struggles with nightmares, memories, feelings, and the mortifying ordeal of being known. Sonic makes it harder. But also makes it easier.

    Summary

    From secret surprise gifts to the world's weirdest first date, how could things possibly get stranger? How about adding that the two lovebirds in question were rivals, even enemies, to begin with. Oh, and that one is a biologically engineered being. And the other is a world-famous hero... who also has some trust issues and anxiety problems. Go figure.

    Buckle up for anxiety-riddled situations as two hedgehogs awkwardly stumble their way through... love? Is this love? Who knows. But in the words of Shadow the hedgehog: "I don't mind seeing where this goes."

    ...

    A series of short stories following a developing relationship between Sonic and Shadow.

    Summary

    The idea of Shadow getting injured wasn't new to Sonic. But the possibility of him dying certainly was.

    Summary

    “Idiot,” Shadow snapped and Sonic found himself suddenly unable to move, face beet-red and mouth agape because what the fuck what the fuck Shadow was holding him up-

    “Didn’t take you for the hand-holding type,” he coughed as Shadow pulled him up, internally cursing himself and trying and failing to push away the embarrassment welling in his throat. Real smooth, Sonic. Chaos. 

    or: now, sonic understands why they call first love an addiction.

    Summary

    “No.”

    “Wh- huh!? Seriously? You won’t even try!?

    “Absolutely not.”

    “Let me get this straight… You would rather… Risk the outcome of the battle- and the fate of the entire Shatterverse- Instead of holding my hand for a few seconds!?”

    “...Yes.”

    AKA

    Sonic has the idea that holding hands might allow Shadow to pass through the Shatterverse portal. Shadow has his doubts, and his reservations.
