    Summary

    After the events of Sonic Prime, Shadow is the only one who knows where the Paradox Prism is hidden—and naturally, Eggman wants it. When a botched ambush lands Sonic and Shadow in captivity together, close proximity becomes a problem. Or perhaps it’s the solution neither of them saw coming.

    But escaping is only the beginning. With Eggman closing in, the battle for the Prism forces them to confront more than just an enemy. As the line between rivalry and something deeper begins to blur, they’re left facing the truth they’ve been avoiding all along.

    By the time they realise what they truly mean to one another, will the moment to act have already slipped away?

    Or—this fic was once a oneshot of "the classic Sonic and Shadow trapped in a box. Again!" Before it then spiraled into an entire plotline.

    Completed!

    Summary

    Shadow the Hedgehog never wanted much. All he wanted, really, was to spend his life with his grandfather and his sister, and make art he never planned to exhibit. But when Maria falls too ill to go to the summer solstice masquerade, she bids Shadow go in her stead. And when a handsome, masked stranger sweeps him off his feet, he is wholly unprepared for the fall.

    And fall, he does.

    I have a lot of largely negative opinions about Taylor Swift, but I felt the metaphor to be prudent. The original title was inspired by a Taylor Swift lyric, so this too will be a reference to her. Just like how Taylor took back what’s hers, I’m taking back what I feel never quite belonged to me.

    This is Wonderstruck (Gecko’s Version).

    Summary

    After a tragic accident, Sonic, only 6 years old, was left to wander the wrecked streets of what was once his home. He was found by Dr. Eggman, who took him in. Although Sonic never really viewed him as a father, they were still family in a way.
    Growing up, Sonic would often run away from home and cause trouble in the city, giving him a bad reputation and causing G.U.N. to start hunting him down.

    Shadow was 8 when G.U.N. invaded the ARK and killed everyone involved with Project Shadow. Maria sent him down to Earth before she was killed, and Shadow was taken in soon after, the commander deciding it a waste to kill him in the end. Shadow’s memories of the event were fuzzy, so over time, he eventually gave up trying to remember, instead focusing on his training alongside Rouge.

    Shadow has now been tasked with taking Sonic down and bringing him in for containment. Though, it isn’t as simple as he had thought. Sonic’s speed and strength rival his own, and his actions are erratic, unpredictable.
    At first, Sonic seems like nothing more than a complete adrenaline junkie. But as Shadow digs deeper, he starts to see there’s more to Sonic than just reckless energy—layers of complexity he hadn’t expected.

    Summary

    With Tails leaving for college and Amy making big moves to move in, Sonic realizes he needs a roommate, and fast, if he wants to preserve his fast and furious bachelor lifestyle. So when he finds out Shadow needs a chaperone for some dodgy memory-recovery experiment, moving in seems like a no-brainer.

    But as the treatments deepen, so does their interest in each other — and actions, unfortunately, have consequences.

    ----

    A story that is first, foremost, and endgame a romantic-comedy.

    Dual POV Sonic & Shadow set in Green Hill and Central City, featuring doomed Stobotnik. Sonic is in his thirties because it is the headspace I can most accurately share, as an adult writing for adults.
