    Summary

    After gifting Shadow his den so he has somewhere safe to stay while on the run, Sonic promises to keep his fugitive identity and their growing friendship a secret so he can protect him. Meanwhile, the Wachowski's are under strict orders from G.U.N. to report any sightings of Shadow's whereabouts and are totally clueless to the stowaway hiding in their back garden.

    However, Sonic’s plans to keep both sides of his life from colliding are dashed when Tails finds out he’s been sheltering Shadow, and now it’s only a matter of time before the rest of the family catch on, too.

    Sonic is faced with the option to come clean and betray Shadow’s trust by admitting everything to his family, or jeopardising Maddie and Tom’s livelihoods by staying silent and deceiving G.U.N.

    Unless, or course he just maintains a perfect balance without letting his two lives overlap. That should be fine so long as he can keep his (probably, maybe, definitely romantic) feelings for Shadow under wraps.

    What's the worst that can happen?

    [now with an epilogue!]

    Summary

    “The food on the ARK is okay, but I really miss the cooking on Earth. Before I got sick, I went with my family to Spagonia. The food there was amazing! Have you found a favourite food? All I’ve ever seen you have is coffee.”
    - Maria Robotnik to Shadow, Sonic X Shadow Generations

    During quieter times, Shadow makes plans to visit Spagonia, wishing to experience the cooking Maria swore by when he met her in White Space in an attempt to get to know her life on Earth better. (Un-)Fortunately, Sonic has the time show him around the place, which turns out to be a bigger help than Shadow would've ever thought. Now if only that didn't also make it harder for the hybrid to keep up his prickly walls that he's set up ever since that one fateful encounter with Sonic on the lily field...

    Perhaps Sonic has been right all along and he should be more honest with himself.

    As Shadow struggles, he quickly discovers that Sonic is hiding some secrets of his own.

    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

    The thing is that Sonic’s…interactions with Shadow have been characterised by nothing but contradictions. And Shadow hasn’t yet learned how to not be frustrated by it.

    Their first meeting. Sonic looking up at him with fear and hostility, but also curiosity and wide-eyed sincerity. Sharing the emeralds with him and trusting him enough to destroy the Ark even when every other moment before that was laced with uncertainty and hesitance. Reaching for Shadow before he fell to Earth - gold and blue flickering across his fur like static - even though Shadow had treated him with nothing but aggression and disdain to that point.

    Calling Shadow his rival, complaining about his meanness and dark scowl, but still turning up at his door to challenge him to a race and pushing at Shadow’s shoulder in a way that can’t be described in any other way than friendly.

     

    --

    Shadow struggles with nightmares, memories, feelings, and the mortifying ordeal of being known. Sonic makes it harder. But also makes it easier.
