[luuxxart]

i’m not saying there’s pepsi in miyu’s eggnog recipe. but like. i’m not not saying it

[feligayzed]

a wip that i more or less abandoned ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

the thought was sonic is a social smoker at most, and he has a habit of catching shadow during his breaks. who knew he'd end up preferring the chitchat over his own brooding silence sometimes

[sorbetlli]

It would not be far fetched of me to think movie Sonic has never had a crush before and has to navigate these new feelings about Shadow. He goes to Tom and Maddie like “my heart keeps racing when I think of Shadow does this mean I’m going to die” “I think my face has been set on fire it keeps going red”

Despite my usual stuff, this isnt sonadow. I mean i guess it could be, like pre-sonadow i guess. Take it how you will.

Shadow didn't deign to give Sonic a glance. He kept his gaze glued to the horizon. In this rare moment of peace and silence between them, neither said a word. That was until Sonic decided the silence needed to be broken.

"What's got you all thoughtful?" He asked, turning his head to Shadow.

Shadow graced him with a look, then averted his gaze to something more interesting. "That is none of your concern."

"Oh come on now, we're friends right?"

"Are we?"

"Well I guess not really, but we know each other enough, don't we? Now tell me what you're thinkin' about." Sonic leaned into Shadows personal space, and Shadow felt his quills involuntarily bristle in discomfort.

"Do we?" He pressed further.

"Ugh.." Yeah Sonic was just lying. "Well.. if you're not gonna tell me then I'll make conversation." Sonic held his chin between his thumb and index finger, tapping his foot as he thought with his left hand on his hip.

"Please don't.." Shadow groaned, rolling his eyes at the incessant tap, tap, tap, tap, tap...

"Hey actually," Sonics head snapped to Shadow. "How did you feel after our first race!?" Sonic pointed at him. Suddenly he grinned. "Y'know, when I beat you for the first time."

Shadow remembered that, how Sonic laughed as Shadow passed the finish line a hair behind him. Shadows wave of despair, desperation and complete fury.

"I wanted to kill you." Shadow stated matter a factly, and Sonic laughed out loud. "I was going to aswell." He clarified, Sonic laughter slowly settled.

"Wait seriously?" He asked incredulously.

"Yes," Shadow sighed, "I had it planned and everything. The method, time, place and how I would get you there and vulnerable. I was so furious that I was beaten." He fondly remembered, a smile almost dusted his face.

"What made you uh.. y'know, not do it?" Sonic asked, clearly alive, breathing and, somewhat, well.

Shadow looked at him finally, a smirk pulling at his face. "I realised that if I killed you, I wouldn't be able to prove that I'm better than you. I wouldn't be able to beat you into the ground, or watch that annoyingly persistent optimism drain from your face as I crushed you with my heel." His eyes wide he made unbreaking eye contact with Sonic. Almost telling he was waiting for the time where he could redo his attempt, without hesitation this time.

Sonic grinned widely. "Well I'll be looking forward to it, Faker." He pressed even farther into Shadow's personal bubble.

"I was made before you, you know." Shadow grumbled.

"Yeah and you're still my fake. How does that feel?" Sonic chuckled.

"Like killing you."

Sonic laughed heartily.

Ok now that thats out of my system :3

I can procrastinate studying again :∆

Hope u liked it, sorry if it was bad (⁠-⁠_⁠-⁠;⁠)

Farewell and safe travels :D

Edit - the end was kinda rushed, i didnt have anything else to say other than a general idea of "Shadow admitting he was going to kill Sonic, but decided against it because how would he prove he's the ultimate lifeform and therefore better than Sonic."

[mysticruinedme]

for the next sonic twt takeover i just ask one thing. could everyone at least ask ONE normal question instead of spamming about sonadow cuz istg this is gonna drive me crazy

[asterdeer]

this is the kind of all consuming comfort character love and fixation that would lead me to write 100k words and counting of mostly h/c fanfiction but unfortunately i can only do that for minor characters with an easily compilable amount of airtime because otherwise the fear that i'm getting missing something or getting a timeline or widely held/beloved fanon wrong is simply too much to handle

[hall0wedwyrm]

Okay, so this was just supposed to be part of a different AU (which i still might include something like this in there??? but idk) and then it was supposed to be just a one off... but guys i think this could literally be an au. I think it would be called the Reunion AU? not sure but yeah

AU Summary (so far): Shadow reunites with some faces that cause an unpleasant surprise. As people start to learn about the return, Shadow assures them that they have this undercontrol, but will they do the right thing?

Consider this... Chapter 1?? I suppose?? Enjoy!!

(also side note Shadow is he/they here just incase theres any confusion lol)

There was never really a reason to worry about Shadow. They were naturally unpredictable, but they had their morals in check and that's really what mattered. Rouge knew it wasn’t a huge issue... but she was growing more worried. 

Lately, Shadow had been acting out of character. They seemed generally more anxious, and alert of everything happening around them. They would jump out of their skin at the slightest abrupt movement, even scaring Rouge at some points. 

Rouge was waiting for him to show up and was fully prepared to scold him for disappearing for seemingly no reason. It had been at least since the early hours, and it was now going into the afternoon. The only reason Rouge knew this was through Sonic telling her. When he woke up that morning, Shadow was nowhere to be found, and he assumed that they were with her… and Rouge thought that they were with him. This prompted immediate fear and panic, worrying if something had happened to them. Rouge’s thoughts went straight to G.U.N finding a reason to put them away again, and Sonic thought of them potentially being part of Eggman’s newest plan. They both promised to stay in contact with each other and dashed their separate ways. 

Rouge hoped he would have appeared by now, for many reasons. The main one being her genuine concern, but also that there was an imminent meeting with the Commander, who she guaranteed had picked up on his weird behaviour and probably wouldn’t hesitate to confront him. And if he did... she wouldn't know what to even say to defend them.

She sat in her quiet office space at the G.U.N headquarters. Impatiently waiting for anything about Shadow to appear in front of her. She hoped he would just appear in her office, apologising for vanishing and she could cancel this dumb meeting and go comfort them in any way she could. Even if it was just a glass of water and making sure he was safely at her apartment. 

As she stood up to leave for the meeting, her phone unexpectedly buzzed in her pocket. She swiftly pulled it out and held it firmly. 

It was Shadow. 

‘Meet outside. In the alley. Be quick.’ 

Short, sweet and to the point, but she didn’t care at all. Her next move was to begin swiftly leaving the building and pull up Sonic’s messages. She had to alert him; it was the least she could do right now. 

‘Shadow’s just messaged me. I’m going to figure out what’s going on with them. Update soon, hon x’ 

Rouge rushed down the building, sped through the reception and darted into the alleyway. She stood for a moment, before seeing a vague silhouette at the end. Their quills gave them away, and the slight bit of light glimmered on their inhibitor rings. 

“Oh my stars,” Rouge sighed, approaching them slowly, “Where the hell have you been!? We were so worried about you…” 

She tried hard to not raise her voice, she didn’t want to sound mad at them at all, but she was slightly frustrated at the no contact situation. She saw Shadow open their mouth to speak, before hesitating a little bit. 

“Sorry. I didn’t mean to scare any of you.” He kept his voice low, nearly a whisper, “But it was urgent.” 

“What?” She raised her eyebrow, “What was so urgent that didn’t give you time to leave a note? or a message?” 

Shadow looked away, closing their eyes. They clenched their fists tightly and squeezed their eyes shut. 

“I…” He tried to start, but his voice got caught in his throat, “I can’t.”  

There was a deafening silence. The air thickened quickly as the tension swelled with it. 

“What…. what do you mean?” She was astounded, and that was easily conveyed by the way she barely had to try and speak. 

“Because of-” Shadow paused and opened their eyes wide. 

Rouge, realising she potentially caught him, jumped in quickly, “because of what? What’s so bad that you can’t tell me? if you’re worried, I’m going to say anything to anyone, you know I would never.” 

He didn’t even turn to look at her,  

In a swift and unconscious move, she swiftly gripped Shadow’s arm. He turned around in response, looking at her with large eyes. It’s like even he couldn’t believe what she just did. She pulled him so that he would look at her. 

“Tell me. Please.” She begged, staring into their eyes. 

A flash of fear was on their face for a moment, and they tried to say something again, before the pit in Rouge’s stomach forced her to speak first 

“What...” She took a breath, “What did you do?”  

Shadow looked stunned. He fumbled to grab her shoulders, holding her closer to him. He was right in her face. 

“I didn’t do anything. I swear to you, Rouge.” He took a deep breath, “If I do tell you... please just... keep it to yourself for a while. I don’t know what to do about it.” 

Rouge blinked in bewilderment. She was kind of afraid to even ask what he meant by that, but she was in this deep she had to know.  

“About...” She paused, feeling the pit in her stomach deepen, “About what...?”  

The words out of Shadow’s mouth were the last things she wanted to ever hear him say. 

Releasing their grip on her, they kept their voice to a bit louder than a whisper, paranoid about even muttering it themself. 

“Black Doom... he’s alive.”  

“Pardon!?” She couldn’t help but yell out at him. 

“Keep your voice down.” They hissed through their teeth, looking behind her to see if anyone had heard them. He took a harsh breath through his nose, before speaking. 

“He’s been speaking to me. Trying to get me to go and see him. He was watching me this whole time, waiting for his moment to strike.” He tried to look at her, but he could barely make eye contact before looking away, “I gave in today, and went to go and hunt for him. He somehow knew I was coming for him and told me exactly where to go. He told me that he had been on this planet since I had destroyed the original Black Comet, and that he was silently brewing his revenge.”  

Rouge stared at him, mouth agape, for at least a minute. She was trying to process that this was even real. That this was all happening again.  

“We... we have to do something.” She stammered, “We can’t let him do what he did last time.” 

“Stop.” Shadow said harshly, “He’s not doing anything right now.” 

Rouge scoffed, “And you believe that? Really?”  

Shadow nodded a little bit, turning his head to look back up at her. “He’s essentially powerless here. He doesn’t have the power of the Black Arms army behind him.”  

“Are you actually being serious right now?” She snapped, “After everything he put you through- After everything he did to you? You’re... giving him a second chance?”  

He didn’t respond. He didn’t even move.  

“Seriously? Are you hearing yourself right now?! You swore that if any Black Arms ever even came close to this planet's atmosphere, you’d destroy them immediately. Why is this any different?” 

“...Eclipse was there.” 

“You’re kidding me.” Rouge squeezed the arch of her nose. She couldn’t believe a word she was hearing. 

“Please. Hear me out,” Shadow pleaded, and Rouge reluctantly looked at him. 

“They were genuinely happy to see me. The way they talked to me about what they and Black Doom had been up to in the time since I saw them last... they were delighted. Eclipse said Black Doom had found them shortly after their ship crashed, and they had been planning together ever since. Eclipse was so excited to show me what they had been working on.” 

Rouge’s only response was to sigh. Heavily. 

“I didn’t intend to stay long, I swear. I just wanted to hear what they had to say... to see what they were doing.”  

“I just... can’t believe all of this is happening again.” Rouge folded her arms tightly, “Are you really sure you have this all under control...?” 

“Yes.” Shadow said confidently, “I’m going to follow along with Black Doom, try and keep them both out of trouble for a while until I can figure out what to do.”  

Rouge had a bad feeling about... all of this. If Shadow began to trust them, who knows what would happen? 

“Fine. I trust your judgement.” Rouge reluctantly said, “But if you go running off again without telling me, I will hunt you down, got it?” 

Shadow let out a small chuckle, “I’ll make sure, I swear.” 

Rouge finally felt some kind of relief. While she didn’t completely see how this would be a good situation, but if Shadow had it under control... 

She didn’t have any other reason not to trust them.
