Summary
I have this story idea with elemental magical girls where the villainess dates the main character’s mum. Then I decided to make an hlvrai au because I’m a self-indulgent little shit.
Might be interesting to people who want to see different character dynamics, such as: Eldritch sisters trying to hide their inhumanity, a mother-daughter duo trying to survive, and the Tommy equivalent knowing what her dad does and being Very Concerned.

Summary
Taking place directly after the Embrace The Void ending from Godmaster, the Hollow Knight is finally freed, so they decide to travel around Hallownest. Meanwhile, the Shade Lord escapes into the real world.
(I mainly wanted the Hollow Knight to go on their own little road trip but also I have ideas about what happened after the cliffhanger)

Summary
Sometime during their unstoppable descent into the realm of the damned, it became apparent to V1 that they are merely a chess piece, moving at the hands of an unseen player; one that is swiftly closing in on the other for a resounding checkmate. At the very end of Hell, Gabriel loses his final match with the machine that unwittingly broke the shackles he had noticed far too late.
Rather than putting an end to his existence, V1 instead takes the opportunity to shatter the board and stop the game.
In the aftermath, both machine and archangel are left standing in the settling dust of the collapsed echelons of creative order. But a scorched earth isn't always the end. Something will eventually grow from the ashes of utter destruction, if given the chance.

Summary
The nightmare always starts the same.
The Tornado idling on a field, red metal gleaming in the sun, an excited Tails flying circles around one of the wings.
Last minute adjustments, he shouts.
Take your time, Sonic shouts back.
He is balancing on top of a low ledge, not even looking up. He hasn't looked up once ever since arriving here, ever since noticing the plane and the bags and hearing the engine purr relentlessly. Out of the corner of his eyes he can see his little brother zipping back and forth, can hear his excited chatter, low and muffled as if reaching him through glass. He concentrates on his shoes and on the thin ledge he is pacing on.
Up and down. Up and down.
I'm done, Tails calls.
Great, Sonic calls back.
*************************
After the events of Sonic Frontiers Tails has left for his own adventure and Sonic is happy for his little brother. Everything is fine. Great even.
Now if his mind would just stop playing tricks on him...

Sonic dealing with events post-Frontiers… poorly. Neat character study

Summary
Shadow was on him in a split-second, poised above Sonic in a flash of crackling red energy, one paw raised in a clawed threat, teeth bared. He was the picture-perfect example of battle ready, even if he was panting a little more than the last time they’d gone head-to-head. And Sonic just laughed, grinning wildly. It visibly threw Shadow off, burning red eyes flicking from Sonic to his own claws and back to Sonic, his mouth slowly going slack from its previous twisted expression.
“What are you- are you laughing?” Shadow blinked.“Kinda fun just to, you know, blow some steam off without the threat of world destruction or fifty years of vengeance making things all…” Sonic shuddered, dramatically waving both paws at Shadow. “Complicated.”
Or: the rehabilitation of one Shadow the Hedgehog whether or not he asked for it.

Another post-Sonic 3 fic I really like. 10/10. It’s mostly fluff, but the feelings get me good, especially near the end. The character writing, along with their dynamics, are amazing. Maddie gets a lot of focus, too, which I appreciated.

Summary
“I will never let you die,” Sonic vows. Where once he smiled and grinned he is now only dead-serious steel. “I will keep saving you again and again, if that’s what it takes. If this Black Doom character tries to mess with your mind and tear you apart, I will destroy him.” He’s still clinging onto Shadow. “I will."

Bookmarker's Notes
Fic where Sonic and Shadow fail to save the world at the end of SA2. Very sweet and somber at the same time. I was clinging to that “angst with a happy ending” tag like a lifeline.
