Sick of Sonic constantly inspiring the world, Eggman injects him with a serum intended to make the hero less... charismatic. Instead, it disrupts the delicate balance of Chaos Energy within Sonic's heart. Unable to hide his darkest emotions, Sonic grows violent and demanding.
Shadow believes he can cure him, but the Ultimate Lifeform's presence causes twisted changes in Sonic's persona, frightening their friends... and Shadow himself. However, Shadow also has parts of himself that he keeps hidden, parts that the corrupted hero would want nothing more than to expose.

And Other Fun Free Time Activities: A Memoir by Dirk Strider
The game's over. Universe created, quest completed, mortal vessel resoundingly sublimated—time to figure out what to do with the rest of his life. Get his shit together and start making smart, rational decisions? Hopefully. Maybe. If he really puts his heart and soul into it.
Oh, who is he kidding. He's a fucking disaster.
(Or, the one in which Dirk and John fall in love and nobody is straight, ever.)

Dirk Strider is a mystery wrapped in an enigma.
Dirk Strider is all he thinks about anymore.

Summary
Dirk would rather not share, but how can you lay claim to something that isn't even yours? Or, in his case, to someone he's sure he has no chances with.
John in the meantime is just confused by his own feelings, the nature of which might either fix or make things worse, but you'll never know which it is if you never try. -

Summary
"And then there's a customized copy of PONY PALS, a gift to you on your 14th birthday from the slippery Mr. Strider. Each page contains lovingly hand-written commentary on the deeds of this intrepid young horse. Later, about halfway through the book, rather than see the gag through to the bitter end, Strider began pasting over entire pages of original text with his own completely rewritten version of the story, while keeping all the chapter titles. His revision is a tough, emotionally draining read. But it's cathartic, in all the worst ways possible.
He tends to get carried away with his projects."Note: this work is an altered book, and it plays on the physical relationship between the original pages and the edited text. As such, it's presented as a series of images. Reading the images is the only way to get the full experience, but I'm aware that some people can't/don't want to read it that way. So if that's the case, you can skip to chapter 13, which is a text-only version of the story, including rough descriptions of the most important illustrations.

Summary
On the very edges of Paradox Space, at the border of unreality at the shattered remnants of a dead-end timeline, where The Void has settled in comfortably, a not-quite dreamer and a not-quite ghost meet. Surprisingly, they get along.
Alternatively: Google, how do you tell someone that you might be falling in love with them because you keep accidentally (and now not so accidentally) meeting up with their only-sometimes-alternate/splinter self that's stranded in the Void?

Summary
“Why didn’t you ask for presentation? On the application for the apartment.”
He gives you a squinty, side-eyed look, like he’s trying to figure out whether you’ve asked him a trick question or not. “Becaaaauuuuse it’s none of my business?”
***
Dirk is a puzzle box of repressed emotion and touch-aversion, and he's got a huge secret that makes romance impossible. John, however, doesn't care much for rules. Or personal boundaries.

Summary
John is revived on Theseus about a year into the trip, and he’s come back both ascended and depressed. He disassociates often, which for him is a lot more literal than most. Dirk brings out a side of sadism John didn’t realise he had in him and John brings out sadomasochism that Dirk was well aware he had in him. It’s kind of romantic.

Summary
John and Dirk are spare wheels as far as their very coupled off friends are concerned. They get paired off as the only single ones in the group and get close. And then they get married, as a joke, as a fuck you to their friends who want them to settle down and as a way to solidify their beautiful bromance. It's the biggest game of gay chicken you've ever seen. It ends happily ever after.

Summary
Two omniscient bros with debilitating depression, sitting between realities, five feet apart because we haven't reached that part of the narrative yet. Keep a tight grip on the bridles of your metaphorical horses. I'm working up to it.
(Dirk is tired. Haven't you ever wanted to let someone make the tough choices for you?)
