    Summary

    "We’re meant to be measuring ocean acidity, you know,” Shadow said, taking his feet off the desk. He planted his thick, reinforced work boots firm upon the steel floor. “G.U.N. didn’t send us out here to rescue an octopus.”

    An environmental research mission.

    A wily octopus.

    A handsome stranger.

    And a marine biologist who's thrust into a world of angered gods, and is willing to do anything to get back home.

    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

    “Easy, kid. We’re not here to hurt you,” one of the agents said, though the firmness of his grip betrayed his words.

    Sonic’s eyes darted around, looking for an escape route, desperate to keep his silent promise to Longclaw; but there was none. They lifted him effortlessly, carrying him towards a large, armored vehicle. The back doors swung open, revealing a sterile, metallic interior. Sonic’s mind raced with fear and uncertainty as they placed him inside and secured him with restraints.

    The vehicle roared to life, its engine a deep, menacing growl. As they sped away, Sonic’s thoughts were a whirlwind of despair. Longclaw’s sacrifice, the loss of his home, and now, being captured by these unknown forces—his world had been turned upside down.

     

    or: what if G.U.N. got an energy signal when Sonic first "landed" on Earth and was immediately brought to a G.U.N. facility, where he meets Shadow.

    Summary

    Sonic can remember all of his alternate lives. He can also remember that in every single one, he’s been murdered just shy of his twentieth birthday by Shadow, a supernatural being linked to his soul who follows him through every life.

    The problem is that he’s quite fond of the life he’s in now, and his little brother Tails needs him in order to stay alive. If Sonic wants to save his brother, he’ll have to find the omniscient devil who has hunted him in every other timeline before he finds him first. This time, Sonic is determined to figure out why he’s being hunted and finally break their curse, and try not to fall in love… again.

    Summary

    Maybe he's not meant to touch. It's the newest excuse he thought of in hopes that he could prolong the game a little more; a careful ruse to enjoy the bittersweet torture of seeing the days pass them by, while he pretends he doesn't seek azure blue whenever he's restless. At first, all he wanted to do was watch: but now the desire to touch, to have, to affect is at a point where he's not sure whether reaching for Sonic would truly be fruitless.

    He wonders that especially when Sonic's eyes light up upon seeing him. When he corners Shadow, when he invades his space and he touches and takes and then excuses it by calling it a fight. Shadow truly wonders then: if only he was brave enough to reach out, what would his grip find? Loose stars or a battle-worn body?

    Standing up, he glances at Sonic again, whose eyes have now met his own. There's something heavy in the eye contact, something Shadow doesn't dare name. Neither of them say anything, and yet Sonic's eyes move away from him again, like they did.

    Shadow warps away, hiding from the stars once more.
