It is both my pleasure and privilege to finally introduce my fic for the 2025 @sthbigbang, arrow! This fic—featuring Sonic-as-Arthur, the Knights of the Round Table, and a surprise character as Guinevere—has been in the making for a literal year, and I’m so happy to finally share it!

I am beyond grateful to my artists, @thefakehedgehogaroundhere and @kogarashi-art, who went absolutely above and beyond anything I could have ever dreamed for this fic. I also can’t thank my beta reader, @kisatamao, enough, and especially for helping me with that ending.

And now that we’re here, I’ve waited long enough. So without further ado…

Ao3 Link: arrow

Kogarashi’s piece: the garden + header + Guinevere collab

Faker’s piece: the blacksmith + Guinevere collab

Enjoy!

Sneak peek:

If it wasn’t for the year he had spent here, upon the throne of Camelot, Sonic didn’t think he would be able to hold in his fury. Even then, he kept sparing glances at the armor of the closest knight, trying to ensure that the rage he felt in his heart didn’t translate a bit onto his face.

Because the chipmunk girl bowing in front of him didn’t deserve that.

(Every last one of his advisors did, though. Privately, he vowed he would save this rage for them. He wondered if his knights would join him.)

With the training of being king, though, he was able to compose himself, and size up the young noblewoman with a keen eye.

She was pretty enough, he supposed. Dark brown fur that highlighted her blue eyes, and red curls all pinned to the top of her head. She wore a dress in bright, baby blue, and it draped onto the floor in a flowy way, like it was meant to catch the breeze. Objectively, it looked absolutely stunning on her, but he started wondering about the meaning behind it. Blue, for her eyes or to match his fur? A dress that could catch the wind, for the one who called himself its knight?

"Rise," he prompted, and the Camelot accent took even greater effort than usual. He had a suspicion, and he needed it confirmed. "No need for formalities. Will you tell me your name again?"

She nodded. "Guinevere, Your Majesty, daughter of Leodegrance."

Suspicion wasn’t enough to prepare him for how his heart dropped like a stone.

>>>———>

Two hours later, he was sitting at a desk in his darkened study, writing out a missive with an ink quill, when Percival walked in. He watched the light of her candle dance, and felt her eyes on him as she sized him up. It was distracting, but a part of him was grateful she didn’t speak.

Finally, though, she gave up, and asked outright, "How did it go?"

He tensed so much the quill in his hand snapped.

Percival cringed. "Oh, dear. That bad?"

"Whose fault was this, anyway?" he groaned.

"Gawain's."

He scoffed. His loyal knight, his closest friend in two worlds, and yet. "Remind me to kill him once this is over."

"Twilight Garden" and "Arrow"

(And a bonus collab with my fellow artist)

I participated in the Sonic the Hedgehog Big Bang (@sthbigbang) this year, and was on two stories. Here's the art for one of them, "Arrow" by Jade (@jadeandroses). I ended up doing two pieces because I finished with my main piece early enough and tried digitally doodling a second that turned out pretty nice. I also did a small collaboration with my fellow artist to draw Guinevere's knight armor from later in the story; I drew the lines and suggested the colors, and Faker added shading.

You can find the fic here.

And my fellow artist Faker's (@thefakehedgehogaroundhere) work here.

(Also shout-out to the fic's beta Tama (@kisatamao), who was awesome to have in the thread for feedback as well!)

I did all my painting using some of the presets in Jazza's digital brushes, which I cannot recommend enough. "Twilight Garden" was done mostly with the gritty paint preset, and "Arrow" sketched with one of the sketching pencil presets.

Because April Fool's happened during the event (and the mods played a prank of having Dr. Eggman take over the event), I did this to share with my thread:

My complete pieces for the Sonic Big Bang!

The fic was arrow, written by @jadeandroses and beta read by @kisatamao. The first image is my independent work, and the second is a collaboration with the incredible @kogarashi-art, who also made these fantastic pieces. I had such a blast working with everyone, and I'm so excited to see what they make going forward!
