Summary
He didn't notice the dark look washing over Jet's angry face. Sonic tried calling out again, pleading- no begging for Jet to end whatever fight this was and to get out of the truck. It fell on deaf ears.
His boyfriend warned Sonic again, this time the truck rolling a couple of inches, front left tire touching the tip of a red shoe, before he hit the brakes.
"Sonic. Get, out, of, the, way!" Jet hissed over the loud engine.
"No!" He screeched back, tears spilling down his face. The green hawk's face relaxed, carefully blank for a few moments. After a long, pregnant pause, he slammed his foot on the gas.
The only thing Sonic could process was the hot white pain shooting up his leg. Sparks of red flew around him, and he screamed before everything went black.

Summary
After a charged and unforgettable night, Shadow disappears without a trace, leaving Sonic grappling with a quiet ache he can’t outrun. Months pass. The world keeps spinning, and Sonic throws himself into missions, trying to fill the space Shadow left behind. But nothing sticks—until a far-off assignment sends him deep into unknown territory. There, amid the chaos of battle, Sonic finds the creature he was sent to defeat… and someone else. Shadow. Alive, changed, and carrying a surprise that will rewrite everything Sonic thought he knew about their night together—and their future.
My first ever writing experience, hope I don’t mess this up ;p

Summary
“Why?” Scarlet eyes held distrust, a bone-deep weariness, as his gruff voice echoed like harmony in the cobalt’s ears.
“Because you’re my friend,” Sonic shot back, as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. "And I’m not leaving you to die."
Doubt and confusion played inside those gorgeous rubies. “But why? Why risk everything for someone you don’t know?”
Sonic’s beating heart stopped, froze, the sound of helicopter blades echoing in his ears. His emerald gaze locked onto the ruby one of his mate.
Sonic shook his head, away from dangerous thoughts, his gaze softening, his voice quieter. "Because... I couldn't live with myself if I didn't. I don't know what it is about you, Shadow, but you're important to me. I’ve always known that. You're not someone GUN can use to their will. GUN should never have done any of that to you.”

Summary
And even though there were days where he slipped backwards, for the most part, the unstable, depressing, energy-consuming span of time he called his life had improved since he'd gotten back to Earth. With each day he lived on this planet, with these…people, he was learning to not want to be dead either.
The Stone human had provided him a place to stay that had non-revenge guac and telenovelas available on a weekly basis.
The doctor had fallen into another funk with evil scheming, so that wasn't a problem at the moment.
And Shadow had...acquaintances that kept him relatively busy, when they decided to make plans to do things together.
Such as today.
Where they had plans.
That where supposed to have started–
(Shadow pulled out from his quills the cellular phone Stone had provided him to ensure good comms when away. 14:07)
–Seven minutes ago!
---------------------------------------------------
When Sonic is late to meet up, Shadow brainstorms all the possible medical emergencies that he would accept as excuses. It's all fun and games until he lands on the one that unsettles him most. Is it overthinking? Projection? Or could Sonic actually be in danger... -

Summary
As the duo departed the city limits and entered the bordering grassy hills between Station Square and the coastal seaside, the air started to clear. Shadow caught his first glimpse of the evening’s stars, an expanse of twinkling lights speckling the velvety sable horizon.
The clouds had almost completely dispersed, revealing the waxing gibbous moon. It illuminated the terrain with a hazy, surreal quality.
As they crested the hill, Shadow’s gaze briefly scanned the meadow below before settling on roguish green eyes. He froze. A familiar, knowing smirk greeted him.
"Hey, Shads!"

Shadow is forced to attend a gala, and Rouge insists he take dance lessons from an unexpected teacher.
