    Summary

    “The food on the ARK is okay, but I really miss the cooking on Earth. Before I got sick, I went with my family to Spagonia. The food there was amazing! Have you found a favourite food? All I’ve ever seen you have is coffee.”
    - Maria Robotnik to Shadow, Sonic X Shadow Generations

    During quieter times, Shadow makes plans to visit Spagonia, wishing to experience the cooking Maria swore by when he met her in White Space in an attempt to get to know her life on Earth better. (Un-)Fortunately, Sonic has the time show him around the place, which turns out to be a bigger help than Shadow would've ever thought. Now if only that didn't also make it harder for the hybrid to keep up his prickly walls that he's set up ever since that one fateful encounter with Sonic on the lily field...

    Perhaps Sonic has been right all along and he should be more honest with himself.

    As Shadow struggles, he quickly discovers that Sonic is hiding some secrets of his own.

    Summary

    There’s a hand on his shoulder, barely making contact. A red gauntlet glows around the wrist.

    Sonic blinks, the pain having evaporated so fast he feels almost weightless. “Shadow?”

    Shadow’s breathing heavily. “Problem.”

    The retrieval of the ancient tech Shadow (and Sonic, in tow) has been sent to uncover takes a turn for the worst. In this case, the “worst” means… becoming physically and inextricably linked to each other. For the foreseeable future.

    OR: Metaphysical handcuffs, and general gay buffoonery.

    Summary

    Sonic has been alone dealing with the aftermath of Starfall Islands for a few weeks. He isn’t doing too good, but he refuses to reach out to anyone about the problems he won’t even address himself.

    Sonic gets an opportunity to further distance himself from these problems when GUN requests his help with a mission. Although it takes some convincing from the commander himself, Sonic joins…

    … as the Phantom Rider. No one other than the commander knows who’s underneath the helmet. Not even Team Dark— who Sonic is assigned to work with on this case— knows.

    As they solve the mission together, can Team Dark figure out who they’re working with? Can Sonic keep his identity hidden?

    Can Sonic finally face his problems head on?

    —
    Or, Sonic as Phantom Rider does a mission with Team Dark, shenanigans and angst ensue
    —
    Post-Frontiers, Issue #74 of IDW comics (but no further than that)
    Trigger Warnings: Self-harm, lack of self-care, vomiting, talk about suicidal intentions/tendencies, (more to be added)

    Summary

    Again, it was almost a comfort. Shadow still rolled his eyes, “You’d be surprised.”

    Sonic got his breathing a little more under control, “I remember that I’m fast. Kinda my whole deal, I’m pretty sure.”

    “You just can’t remember all the times I’ve beaten you,” in and out, Shadow continued breathing, if only for Sonic's sake.

    “And I’m sure I never will,” the hero joked. And for what it’s worth, for a split second, his smile seemed genuine. Shadow would never know how he did it.

     

    OR:
    After the events of Sonic Frontiers, Sonic stays with Rouge and Shadow while he recovers from the damage done to his memories. He tries to hide it, but that can only last for so long.
