    Summary

    Between Grace's scant first aid and the nanny bot they managed to get the man mostly stable, tucked into Grace's bed and completely dead to the world for the past few days.

    It's the same man currently trying to kill him.
     

    or, the Eridians find a man covered in blood and Grace hasn't been able to care for something in far too long.

    Summary

    One day, while Shadow attempts to have a peaceful evening, Sonic suddenly crash lands near his home. When he tries to argue with him, he finds out something much more pressing as the other hedgehog does not recognizes him.

    Sonic has lost his memories.

    Shadow, upon realizing he is the only one who can help him, embarks with him on a quest to recover his rivals memories, begrudgingly having to allocate more of his time and thoughts to the blue blur.

    //

    Sonic is stuck in an unfamiliar world, surrounded by people and places that feel so familiar but do not connect to any pieces in his mind. Can he discover who he is? And, can this strange dark hedgehog who seems to dislike him truly help him find himself?

    (This story happens during the events of Sonic Frontiers)

    Summary

    Sonic would only need to hibernate for three months.

    That’s what he had to keep reminding himself as Sonic went kicking into hibernation.
 His only other comfort, besides a cozy burrow hidden away from the prying world, was the favor he’d asked of his long-time rival, Shadow.
 With hybrid genetics and Chaos in his veins, Shadow wouldn’t need to bed down for the winter storm of the century.

    Just three months without the blue hedgehog. That was it.

    Shadow only managed two weeks before he went to check on him.

    Summary

    After a drunk night out, Sonic wakes up the next morning with something unexpected adorning his finger, concealed just under the fabric of his glove.

    A wedding band.

    With no recollection of the night prior and how such a thing could have possibly gotten there, Sonic takes it upon himself to discover who his mysterious and elusive partner is, all without divulging the secret of his newfound marital status to anyone. Starting with a list of potential names, things only escalate from there.

    Summary

    It's been 10 years since Sonic last saw Shadow, and in that decade, life had not been kind. He's stumbling through adulthood with no sense of direction or purpose, crumbling under the existential dread of aging, and to top it off, is suffering through an exhausting divorce process. Just as his whole world seems to be collapsing around him, however, an old friend returns... And might just be the lifeline he didn't realise he needed.

    Now Sonic is having to navigate adulthood, heartbreak, grief and whatever these new (or maybe old) feelings are for his ex-rival. The strangest part is that Shadow seems to be the stable, emotionally competent one. What he doesn't know is that shadow is hiding a secret of his own- Ten years of feelings that he thought he'd let go of threatening to return.

    This is a future-set Sonadow slow -burn where Sonic and Shadow reconnect after a decade of no contact. A mix of hurt/comfort, slice-of-life, humour, drama, fluff and spice (eventually). Themes include grief, romance, friendship, aging panic, unconditional love/care, and a flipped dynamic- Sonic is the one falling apart, and Shadow is the one who’s already healed.
