    Summary

    ‘You were there when she collapsed. I remember your faces when I carried her to her room, how terrible it was. Holding Mary in my arms, looking down at her, she was so fragile and – ’ Suddenly, Tom took off his spectacles and wiped his hand furiously across his eyes. ‘Forgive me.’ More quietly, he repeated in an altered tone. ‘Forgive me, please.’

    There had been times in the past two months when Tom’s inexplicable disappearance had disappointed her. But her heart ached for him now, for all he had said and what he had not, the suffering which was so palpable and the diffidence which had been so grotesquely exploited.

    Summary

    After the events of the Metal Virus, it should’ve gotten better. And it does, briefly — with a party celebrating its extinction, they have their world back, their livelihood back, and more importantly, Sonic. But as Amy’s come to learn, it’s never as easy as it seems with him.

    As the dust settles at Restoration HQ, the cracks begin to show. When she starts to pick up on the lasting effects of constantly burning off the virus, Amy offers to help care for Sonic’s quills and nurse them back to health. After all he’s done for them, it’s the least she can do. The role reversal is a change of pace, but one she takes to heart. And as they gather in her kitchen, as she tends to his sick quills, little does he know, it’s the most she’s ever felt in his shoes.

    My favourite part of the movies is seeing this different portrayal of Sonic as an absolute daddy's boy little baby and this fic itches in just the right place!
