    Summary

    With the day of Tails' departure for college impending, Sonic finds himself in a mad dash to secure a new roommate lest Amy finally chain him down. 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.

    ---
    In which Sonic hasn't ever considered why he just couldn't see himself with Amy, and a dark anti-hero untangling his memories may just be the key to discovering what love actually feels like.

    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.

    It isn't that unusual for Sonic to wake up in a bed that is not his, but he definitely wasn't expecting to ever wake up in this one.

In an attempt to move on from his past, he agrees to accompany Sonic as they travel across the world, reminiscing about previous adventures and trying to deal with the loneliness both were subjected to.

    Summary

    With his closest friends scattered to the four winds, Sonic struggles to come to terms with everything that happened to him on the Starfall Islands. One trauma brings up another, then another, until everything is spiraling out of control.

    The one person to pull him out of his spiral is, surprisingly, the last person he would ever expect help from: Shadow. Unlike Sonic, Shadow is not struggling with his mental health, and he has to wonder just how he came to be this way. When Shadow tells him, Sonic decides to try working through everything too.

    But it’s hard. So, so hard. Every day feels like he’s at a crossroads: sink or swim. The comfort of his unhealthy coping mechanisms versus the possibility that he can finally make peace with his past, just like Shadow has. He doesn't know if he's strong enough to make the right choice.

    Wherein I send Sonic to therapy because by god does he need it.
