    Summary

    Aging is tough, especially for someone as active as Sonic. Even if he wants to run around and adventure to his heart's desire, his body just can't keep up with him anymore. And with his recent field-related injury, he's been feeling pretty under the weather.

    Good thing Shadow's there to drag him out of his depression den.

    Summary

    Something brushes his muzzle.

    “Mmf…” He wrinkles his snout, ear twitching. “What're you—” He scrunches his face up and cracks an eye open to see Shadow staring at him, knuckles softly brushing the side of his muzzle.

    Right. It's not uncommon for them to share a bed these days. Whatever they had decades ago was always some kind of unspoken thing anyway. Why put a label on it, really?

    Sure, they messed around a lot back then, and pretty much after every sparring match it'd turn into them hashing things out in a whole different way. But even that petered off at some point. Ten years. Twenty. Then thirty. They never did anything more than occasionally whip through each other's orbits and slingshot out the other side to tear off in search of somewhere else. Him with adventure in mind, Shadow with his next mission.

    Summary

    Desperation fills his being as the sounds get louder, indicating that GUN is drawing closer. He can pick out human voices, detached and monotonous commands, ordering a thorough search of the area. He needs to leave now.

    So Shadow reaches within himself, reaching for the remnants of his energy, trying to find somewhere, anywhere, to go. He tries to think of some place safe, something he knows.

    A vivid image pops into his mind. One with deep blue quills, green eyes and the most hopeful smile he has seen in a long time. Shadow reaches for it, for him, and allows himself to be pulled away. The air crackles around him, and he can feel the world twisting, turning, and the greenery disappears with a snap.

    Sonic, he thinks, and moves across the world, tethered by the only thing he still knows.

    Sonic.

    - - -

    Having survived the explosion of the Eclipse Cannon, Shadow struggles to find his place in the world. But as determined as Sonic is to help him, GUN seems equally determined to take it all away...

    Summary

    Sonic wasn’t sure what woke him from a dead sleep on a guys' camping trip. The one thing he is sure of? He didn't pack a tent.

    And now he's got one anyway.

    Summary

    Ah, Spring. Spring is the time for hedgehogs. Ancient instincts reemerge and senses are ignited. Your fur begins to itch, your spines to prickle. Now is the time when a hedgehog's mind turns to love.

    Except Sonic the Hedgehog was raised by humans. Worse, Shadow was raised by ROBOTNIK humans. Which means the the perpetual rivals have absolutely no idea what they are feeling, and even less of an idea what they are doing. Circling, chasing, fighting, teasing, every day more intense.

    Spring is here, and old, forgotten instincts are on the rise.

    Summary

    If you do not have a significant other or regular sexual partner at the time of the exposure event, to whom do you grant consent to have sex with you, should circumstances require it?

     

    Shadow blinked slowly. He read that last sentence again.

    "Rouge," Shadow hissed, elbowing his teammate. "Form 7A whatever-the-hell," he whispered. "Are they serious? They can't be serious."

    Summary

    “You know, you should smile more.”

    Whipping around, Shadow suppressed the vicious urge to snarl. Those words, that insult, had mocked him from the very day he started working in the café. It was usually reserved for more older folk, that were as Rouge had claimed, probably just trying to joke around with him. Shadow did not find it amusing.

    The voice’s owner stood in front of the counter, a hint of amusement glinting behind bright green eyes and a toothy grin which matched his cheeky expression. Biting his tongue to resist cursing out a customer, Shadow just curled his lip up, baring his sharp teeth in a malicious sneer.

    “Better?”

    The vibrant blue hedgehog was not dissuaded, instead, his cheeks puffed out as he spluttered with laughter. Shadow relented into a deep frowned.

    “Man, you really need to work on your ‘smiling’.” He held his hands up to use air quotes on the last word, meeting the red stare again with gleaming green eyes.

    Shadow decided he didn’t like this mobian.

    Summary

    “I kinda”—Sonic shrugs, laughing—“don't really remember a lot about last night.”

    “Why?”

    “Cause I was drunk.”

    Shadow makes a disapproving sound. “Typical.”

    “Hey, man, just 'cause you don't know how to let loose and have fun doesn't mean the rest of us can't.”

    Shadow's fingers prod at the bite mark on his shoulder. “Is this your idea of having fun then? Someone chewing on you like you're some kind of toy?”

    [Sonic deals with everything that happened on the Death Egg by not dealing with it. At all.

    Honestly, what could possibly go wrong with that?]

    Summary

    Thanks to his job as an underpaid stagehand, Sonic is among the lucky few to meet his celebrity crush: the reclusive lead singer-songwriter of internationally famous rock band, Dark.

    Shadow, on the last stop of their latest international tour, meets a handsome, friendly, extroverted stagehand who happens to be a talented hobby keyboardist.

    Both secretly fall in love, and Shadow finds himself obsessed as they grow closer through music, but their budding relationship might be doomed if Shadow can't overcome the fear and emotional scars of his past. Fortunately, Sonic isn't the type to give up on anyone (even at their lowest).

    Will they fit together or fall apart?

    "What do you want, Faker? Why are you here at-" Shadow squinted at the clock- "three in the fucking morning?"

    "Well?"

    "I can't sleep."

     

    Unpleasant memories are keeping Sonic awake at night, so he seeks comfort from the one person who might be able to understand.

    Summary

    “I just… don’t know what to do,” Shadow says, the words slipping from his mouth. He thinks about the empty, soulless room he inhabits every night at Stone's house. It’s a far cry from Sonic’s own room, an attic repurposed into a place dripping with life, undoubtedly inhabited by him and his brothers, their signature carved into every corner. “I know nothing about anything. I don’t even know where to start.”

    And the words he’d mentioned to Maria come to the forefront of his mind, doubts resurfacing despite all the efforts he’d put into coming into his own. “I don’t know what I am,” he whispers.

    Sonic looks at him. “Well, that’s easy!” he says, though the enthusiasm in his voice isn’t reflected in his expression, which seems much more tender. Somehow, that is more overwhelming than his exuberance. “You’re Shadow the Hedgehog.”

    - - -

    Shadow learns how to live.
