    Summary

    Shadow the Hedgehog was known for many things — stoic silence, brooding glances, swift precision in battle — and none of them included “cuddly.” So naturally, Sonic couldn’t help the smug grin pulling at his lips as Shadow let out the softest of sighs and nuzzled into his chest for the third time that afternoon.

     

    AKA Shadow who just can't resist Sonic's chest — with Sonic being his usual amused and affectionate self.

    Summary

    Shadow survived the fall after the ARK explosion, and is now alone in the middle of nowhere. Or, so he thinks - he quickly encounters a tiny purple mouse called Kaia, merely only 8cm tall, similar to himself and Sonic, who withstood some of the impact from his crash into the Earth. Racked with feelings of guilt, Shadow checks to see if the tiny mouse is fine, only to discover that she is incredibly chatty and insists on travelling with him for protection, much to his dismay.

    Along the way, Shadow uncovers more about himself, with the help of his newfound tiny friend. Events/elements of the Shadow the Hedgehog game and Sonic X Shadow Generations will be loosely incorporated throughout the fic.

    Summary

    Sonic had missed their weekly race, AGAIN. As Shadow ran to the brother's shared home and workshop, he wondered what the excuse would be this time. 'I forgot!', 'I slept in!'. He was beyond pissed, and fueled that rage to rocket across the hills faster. He was SO beating the shit out of that damned hedgehog.

    Shadow stopped in front of the workshop door and knocked twice, but no one came. He huffed in irritation, and opened the door to let himself in. He was expecting Tails to be running back in forth, from project to project with loud music in the background, but to his surprise, that wasn't the case.

    Sonic's upper body was out of view, inside the tornado engine. He seemed to be in deep concentration, with his tail wagging to the beat of his whistling and wrench in hand. His blue fur was now a sickly, pale blue because of the oil and grease.

    Oh my.

     

    Or: 5 times Shadow witnesses Sonic working with tools and not realizing that Tails got his genius from him, and the one time he does.

    Summary

    Shadow was a tattoo artist whose business is the oldest on the block. He’s had a successful career with a band of trusted staff and loyal patrons, but his life had grown stagnant. Well, that was until a new shop opened up across from his own; colors bright and plants galore. His life was about to get interesting, especially when he meets one of the owners: a light grey hedgehog with sparkling honey eyes and a smile like the stars.

    Summary

    Sonic has always lived on the island of Soleanna, surrounded by his three best friends** and Princess Elise—until the day she was kidnapped.

    No one knows who took her or how it happened, and despite all his efforts, no one seems willing to do anything about it. It’s as if they can’t.

    Sonic refuses to sit back and wait while she’s out there somewhere, needing help. The castle has given him the chance to step up and assist in ruling, but all he wants is to set out and find her himself.

    But there’s one big problem.

    Sonic can’t swim.

    And worse than that? He’s terrified of the open sea. He can stand near it, feel the salty breeze, but the idea of being surrounded by endless water sends a chill through him.

    Just when he thinks he’s stuck, a mysterious stranger arrives on the island. Someone different. Someone who, for the first time in his life, makes Sonic’s heart race in a way he’s never felt before.

    For once, he’s the one feeling butterflies.

    And suddenly, he finds himself wanting more.

    Summary

    “Hey, Knux?” Wade asked while looking into the weapon’s chamber, his voice confused. This was unsurprising, Wade was often confused. “Your quills are all red, right?”

    “Correct,” Knuckles affirmed.

    “And Sonic’s are all blue?”

    “I am relieved to learn your eyes are fully functional. The hedgehog is, indeed, blue. Is there a purpose to this line of questioning?”

    “Yeah, so, my question is… whose quill is this?”

    -

    'Knuckles' series canon divergence. A discovery at the IceCap Ski Resort leads Knuckles to Prison Island, and he brings its occupant home.
