Summary
Sonic's life had felt ordinary lately, but it began to change one holiday morning when someone he never expected knocked on his door.
His life changed since that day. After the change, he had to try to adjust to it, something that made him feel like he didn't belong at his house. Until, finally, he slowly came to accept the change and perhaps ultimately rejected it if that were taken away from him.[AKA What if Shadow suddenly befriended with Tails, and that makes Sonic terribly pissed, like his brother got snatched from him.]

Summary
While out on a run, Sonic finds Shadow badly injured and unconscious in a grass field. Overwhelmed by emotion, Sonic kisses Shadow while he sleeps, then runs home, ashamed and confused. For days, Sonic avoids Shadow, unsure how to face him after what he did. Eventually, Shadow finds him and confronts him about the kiss. Sonic denies it at first, but the truth hangs between them, unspoken but deeply felt.
Or
5 times Sonic tries to avoid Shadow after an unconscious kiss, and 1 time where Shadow makes him stop avoiding him due to the kiss.

Summary
It’d been a month or so since…everything happened—and Sonic’s nightmares had shown no sign of granting him mercy. Sometimes he would jerk awake in the middle of the night in a cold sweat, gasping for breath; other times, his eyes would snap open and he would be gripping his blankets with trembling hands, as if his body wanted to reach out and save Shadow.
Today, he woke up feeling completely numb all over, his muzzle drenched from fresh tears. The morning sun was just barely rising over the horizon, streaks of light peeking through the circular window on the ceiling and bathing the floorboards of the attic in warm orange.
How cruel was it that mornings were so beautiful when Shadow couldn’t be here to see it?
OR: Shadow isn’t dead. Sonic just doesn’t realize it until he catches Shadow on the Wachowski’s security camera, sneaking into the house night after night.

Summary
Eggman has known this kid for just over a year. Hardly knows him really. All he does know is this kid is a real pain in his side. And here he was, offering the hedgehog a place to stay over the cold winter months.
Was he going soft?
No. It's just temporary. It means nothing. The rodent is only to stay until the snow starts to melt. That's it. It. Means. Nothing.
So why did he offer to begin with?

Summary
Shadow's life has been full of mistakes, some worse than others, but admitting his unrequited feelings to Sonic tops the list. He's spent the better part of a decade ruminating on his regret and hiding from feelings he couldn't bear to face. He never thought he'd see Sonic again, and he told himself that was for the best.
Until now.
At the bequest of his former rival, and in an attempt to finally get closure, Shadow has returned to Central City. The reason?
Sonic the Hedgehog is marrying Amy Rose.
And Shadow is invited.

Summary
"Sonic doesn’t know why he did it…
It just sort of happened.
He couldn’t help it, the warm feeling in his chest and the fast beating of his heart was almost overwhelming, though a given at this point whenever he was around his rival. And he hadn’t truly noticed he was doing it until deep into the late afternoon.
It was only when Sonic’s feet stopped moving, that he finally realized he had been circling the other."
or basically: "Male hedgehogs circle other hedgehogs repeatedly as part of their courtship behavior." except Shadow is an alien and doesn't know any of this so he is as dense as a rock to it all.

Arrangements by Chronebome

Summary
Shadow was unaware of the agreement that all the fighting happening around the village was just to keep everyone occupied. And is understandably confused when Sonic explains why. He makes it clear he wants nothing to do with whatever the hell they’re doing, but Sonic tries to convince him to “get in” on the fun anyways. Shadow makes a counter offer, if it means that he’ll be left alone about the subject of arrangements and the doctor. The offer is for the two of them to meet up every week to race or spar, and of course Sonic agrees. Because that means he gets to see his favorite rival more. Maybe they spar more than race, maybe it’s because they like pinning each other to the ground. They’ll never tell, cause they won’t admit it to themselves !! At least not yet !!!
