    Summary

    sonic trying and somehow successfully wooing the barista at his nearby starbucks. shadow hates that he doesn't hate him.

     

    “Morning, Shadow! You look like someone who spent all night brooding and listening to Linkin Park. Y’know, in a hot way.”

    Shadow didn’t look up from the register. “You’ve used that one before.”

    “Dang. Thought I could sneak it in.” Sonic leaned forward with his usual grin. “How ‘bout I get a caramel macchiato and a shot of your most tragic backstory?”

    “Still not on the menu.”

    “Worth a try.”

    Summary

    He's is in the water before he can even process the need to dive after Sonic. While the hybrid’s eyes have better darkvision than a regular hedgehog, the burn of saltwater as he scans for Sonic is starting to make the effort seem futile before he’s even really begun. Shadow starts to spiral downward, his heart sinking as fast as he is in the dark waters, the strong current, the crashing waves above him.

    No. He can’t be gone already, can he? Did he really do all of this to fail? Failure wasn’t an option. It isn’t an option. He closes his eyes to ground himself. When suddenly, the space around him lacks the crushing pressure of the ocean. The cold of the water.

    When he opens his eyes, he’s standing in the surf shop again.

    OR

    The prompt: "an angsty fic where one of them dies and the other travels back in time to save them or prevent it (kind of a timeloop scenerio) ((especially love it when they become a little insane over time because the day keeps repeating)). The ending can be left open, sad or happy!"

    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.

    Summary

    “Hey, Knux?” Wade asked while looking into the weapon’s chamber, his voice confused. This was unsurprising, Wade was often confused. “Your quills are all red, right?”

    “Correct,” Knuckles affirmed.

    “And Sonic’s are all blue?”

    “I am relieved to learn your eyes are fully functional. The hedgehog is, indeed, blue. Is there a purpose to this line of questioning?”

    “Yeah, so, my question is… whose quill is this?”

    Summary

    It was just his luck, to crash back to Earth within the proximity of the most annoying creature he’s ever met. Shadow wasn't sure if he would call it a mercy. Irony, maybe. The universe playing some big joke on him by forcing him back into the hands of the very family he nearly wiped out.

    |||

    Or, Shadow thinks he can tough out life alone. Sonic just wants to make sure he's okay.
