    Summary

    “Did you hear Sonic won this year’s most Eligible Bachelor again?”

    Black hedgehog ears flicker towards the giggling gossip, the gloved hand that was outreached to the determining factor of his future pausing.

    “He might as well win every year. That hedgehog is never settling down.”

    Both ears press back against his head, a grimace spread across his tan muzzle.

    “Well, his catchphrase is ‘Gotta Go Fast.’ I doubt there’s anyone who would be able to keep up with him.”

    Focus, his mind chides. Grab the test and get out of here.

    “Please. There are plenty. He needs someone who is worth slowing down for.”

    -

    In which Shadow the Hedgehog gets more than he bargained for when his future intertwines with Sonic in a way neither of them could have imagined.

    Too bad the media may have a problem with it.

    Summary

    And after he is out of breath, after his body aches for real, enough that he can focus on that pain rather than the one in his heart, Sonic goes to visit Shadow.

    Well, it’s not really Shadow. It’s more like his grave. A grave that only Sonic knows about, because he made it and didn’t tell anyone. A grave that only he visits, once the world is quiet and everyone is asleep. He fashions it out of a decently sized rock that he finds in the woods, and painstakingly carves the words “Shadow the Hedgehog,” onto it. There’s a picture frame leaning against the stone, the only picture he could ever find of Shadow, with his arm around Maria and a smile on his face.

    Sonic thinks that the picture is more Shadow than Shadow himself was, at least until the other hedgehog agreed to team up with him. That’s when Sonic saw the real Shadow; the lost, lonely soul who’d had everything taken from him, and still overcame his pain to sacrifice himself for the world. It’s only fair that someone should remember that, remember him.

    Sonic grieves Shadow.

    Summary

    Shadow was on him in a split-second, poised above Sonic in a flash of crackling red energy, one paw raised in a clawed threat, teeth bared. He was the picture-perfect example of battle ready, even if he was panting a little more than the last time they’d gone head-to-head. And Sonic just laughed, grinning wildly. It visibly threw Shadow off, burning red eyes flicking from Sonic to his own claws and back to Sonic, his mouth slowly going slack from its previous twisted expression.
     
    “What are you- are you laughing?” Shadow blinked.

    “Kinda fun just to, you know, blow some steam off without the threat of world destruction or fifty years of vengeance making things all…” Sonic shuddered, dramatically waving both paws at Shadow. “Complicated.”

     

    Or: the rehabilitation of one Shadow the Hedgehog whether or not he asked for it.

    Summary

    Sonic Movie 3 Spoilers!

     

     

    Sonic is struck with grief in the wake of Shadow's sacrifice. Shadow, in his truest form—his pain, his honor, the good in his heart—is Sonic's little secret. The world isn't ready. Nobody would understand, not even his own family. Sonic is more than ready to shoulder the burden.

    But Shadow's not dead.

    It doesn't take long for he and Sonic to fall into their awkward little tango. Midnights spent sneaking into the Wachowski household lends well to forming a strong, indestructible bond, and it's only natural that, over the course of it all, two hedgehogs fall in love.

    Title comes from the song Hunter by Paris Paloma, which played at the theater before my second viewing of Sonic 3, and now is a song I associate wholly with sonadow. Haha, whoops!
