    Summary

    With Dr. Robotnik defeated and the Earth saved from complete annihilation, Sonic expects to enjoy the rest of his days getting into all sorts of mischief with his friends and family, content to relax until the next catastrophe strikes.

    However, there is just one loose end for him to tie up, and that is the unlikely survival of Shadow the Hedgehog…

    …because against his better judgment, his blooming companionship with Shadow becomes Sonic’s best-kept secret.

    Summary

    As a child, Lancelot du Lac vies to cement himself. Spurred by his mother, he travels far for an unimaginable chance. However, instead of glory and reverence, Lancelot finds another boy, one who will surely change his fate in a way he cannot yet comprehend.

    Many years later, in a vastly different time, Sonic the Hedgehog is caught with a whisper of nagging familiarity for something he's never experienced. All of his questions only lead to more confusion about a past he may or may not be connected to, and to a possible complex destiny he's not keen on carrying. But more importantly, he's not the only one curious, and going in too deep could unknowingly help or hinder the strange feelings he senses are also tied to his so-called rival, Shadow the Hedgehog.

    Summary

    Maybe he's not meant to touch. It's the newest excuse he thought of in hopes that he could prolong the game a little more; a careful ruse to enjoy the bittersweet torture of seeing the days pass them by, while he pretends he doesn't seek azure blue whenever he's restless. At first, all he wanted to do was watch: but now the desire to touch, to have, to affect is at a point where he's not sure whether reaching for Sonic would truly be fruitless.

    He wonders that especially when Sonic's eyes light up upon seeing him. When he corners Shadow, when he invades his space and he touches and takes and then excuses it by calling it a fight. Shadow truly wonders then: if only he was brave enough to reach out, what would his grip find? Loose stars or a battle-worn body?

    Standing up, he glances at Sonic again, whose eyes have now met his own. There's something heavy in the eye contact, something Shadow doesn't dare name. Neither of them say anything, and yet Sonic's eyes move away from him again, like they did.

    Shadow warps away, hiding from the stars once more.

    Summary

    Shadow gives him a flat stare. "Are we planning on starting this race?"

    "Yeah, yeah, someone's impatient. What if we add a little bet this time?"

    He quirks an eyebrow at his offer.

    "If I win, you give me that hoodie."

    Shadow narrows his eyes, moreso is suspicious than anything else. "What could you possibly need it for?"

    Sonic shrugs. "Looks comfortable."

    "Then buy your own."

    Sonic's casual demeanour changes to a smirk. "That wouldn't be as fun, then. C'mon, just one race. I'll betcha I'll even look better in it."

    Well, if that's what he wants, it's a bet he won't let Sonic win.

    -

    Or, a collection of moments that begin when Sonic goes after a certain hoodie, and continues until nothing in Shadow's closet is his own.

    Summary

    Working in delivery, Sonic jumped from town to town, never staying in one place for too long. There was much to be afraid of in this world. Of mobians who feared his kind and would kill them if discovered; hunters that sought his kind to make a profit off of in the guild; and his own kind, who fought each other over territory and prey.

    As a nightwalker, Sonic lived his life in fear. That is until he is brought to a refuge for nightwalkers of all types to coexist peacefully, owned by a peculiar hedgehog he finds himself indebted to.
