Summary
TIME is a finicky thing.
To some, time was just another number to keep track of. And while that may be the case for most people, it certainly didn’t apply to all. To that minority of beings, time was endless. Time was as useless as a jar of dirt to them.
And to Agent Stone, time was just a tool to get what he wanted back.
Sonic’s heart thrummed in his chest as his emerald green eyes flickered helplessly around the dark cave. Agent Stone stood defensively in front of the trio, gun pointblank at his forehead. The agent’s thumb trembled as he placed it on the trigger.
Think, Sonic. There’s a heartbroken agent in front of you with a time reversing gun pointed at you and your brothers.
“You…you don’t know what it’s like,” Agent Stone said, his voice trembling. His tongue flicked outside his lips, his dark eyes glazed over, and pupils blew out. Sonic swallowed thickly and slowly raised his hands up.
“Maybe…I don’t know what it’s like,” Sonic started, talking slowly and clearly. “But I never wanted him dead-,”
“Just shut UP!” Stone shouted.
Aka Sonic got sent back in time fifty years ago and finds the Shadow before Maria died and the two fall in a 70’s love story.

Summary
After Sonic's friends head out on their own solo-journeys and Dr. Eggman decides to retire, Sonic struggles to find a new purpose in his life during these times of peace and loneliness. Desperate for distractions, he starts seeking out thrill and getting into one mess after another until he eventually ends up back on Starfall Islands while stalking a shady group of "treasure hunters". Due to a series of unforseen events, the whole group gets involved in a major explosion, with Sonic becoming it's sole survivor.
The hero once again has to deal with being injected with Dark Gaia - while the last time it happened, the evil energy was unable to breach his mental defenses - but a fragile state of mind and years worth of unresolved issues which have all built up ever since then make this an entirely different case.
The weight of the past will eventually catch up even to the fastest thing alive.

Summary
Shadow's standing there. Like, presumed-exploded-in-space-and-extremely-dead Shadow. The one Sonic hasn’t stopped thinking about for over three weeks. He's standing there, in all his black-and-red glory– a bit scuffed up but alive. Sonic can't do anything but gape, frozen in place.
Shadow looks similarly shocked, his eyes wider than Sonic has ever seen them. "It's you," he says, distant surprise coloring his tone.or, Shadow survives the Eclipse Cannon explosion. Sonic couldn't be happier. Shadow himself isn't so thrilled.

Summary
After resolving the troubles of the past, Silver returns to his own time, where the vibrant green grass and the gentle touch of sun and wind beckon him. Finally free from the constant burden of preventing apocalyptic disasters, he should be able to find solace. Yet, the peace he envisioned is shattered by the persistent presence of his old nemesis, Eggman, who continues to sow chaos and destruction. As if that weren't enough, Silver's sudden appearance as a psychic Mobian in this time creates unforeseen complications. Rather than being hailed as a savior, he becomes a source of confusion and mistrust, his powers and origins viewed with suspicion. In this unfamiliar future, Silver must navigate a world where he is both an anomaly and a target, struggling to find his place and purpose amidst the challenges that his mere presence has brought about. If this is the future he fought so fiercely to protect, why does it seem to hold even greater obstacles and uncertainties than before?

Summary
Shadow staggered to his feet; Sonic caught him at the shoulder before he fell over. “Hey,” Sonic murmured, “I meant it, you know. About being your friend.”
“I meant it too. You don’t know what you’re asking for.”
A different message than just a straight no, Shadow realized too late. He observed the sharp perk of Sonic’s ears while the grip that shifted to his bicep gave a squeeze. “Tell me. Tell me what I’m not getting.” A cough had Sonic wipe his mouth with the back of his glove. “I want to learn what it takes to be your friend.”
-
It started with the chao. Then, strange energy signatures. It was easy work; the everyday run-of-the-mill adventure. Sonic’s friends would make space for him, always- but when he isn’t around, they’re still living their lives without him. He’s starting to feel the impact.
At least he can count on Shadow to stay the same.
The pair of hedgehogs work together to solve a new threat, learn just how far family extended beyond the ARK, and challenge each other to let go of the things too heavy to hold while honoring what is meant to be remembered.

Summary
Shadow's life has been full of mistakes, some worse than others, but admitting his unrequited feelings to Sonic tops the list. He's spent the better part of a decade ruminating on his regret and hiding from feelings he couldn't bear to face. He never thought he'd see Sonic again, and he told himself that was for the best.
Until now.
At the bequest of his former rival, and in an attempt to finally get closure, Shadow has returned to Central City. The reason?
Sonic the Hedgehog is marrying Amy Rose.
And Shadow is invited.
