#i think the last time we got a sonic ear flick was in sonic unleashed

[sonicfrontiers]

man sometimes i wish sega would lean into the fact that sonic and co. are animals more, yknow? like wiggling their ears when they hear things or baring their teeth when they’re angry or wagging their tails when they’re happy and stuff like that. i mean i get that it’s not supposed to be realistic, obviously foxes and rabbits can’t fly and all, but i think it’s a neat thing about the sonic characters that is both super integral to em but also kind of underutilized? i dunno. cause it’s not like it goes ignored; espio can camouflage cause he’s a chameleon and tangle has her long tail as a lemur and whisper did once wag her tail when she was excited but i guess i just don’t see it as often as i want to. mostly i just want to see them use their ears more. like have them turn towards sound and flick and stuff. i think that would be nice to see more of

Fanfic WIPs Post

Oh god. Here we go:

Advent of Equinox Fandom: Sonic Pairing: Sonic/Shadow Summary: Post-unleashed. The ‘Shadow with wings!’ fic that no one asked for. Excerpt: Shadow and Tails had chased him away from the bike, intent of some last-minute adjustments before the race began. He had tried to help, but Shadow had growled, “It’s bad enough I have to let you ride it, Faker. Don’t try and pretend you know anything about being a mechanic, too. Go be ‘friendly’ with people. That is what you do, isn’t it?”Hmm. Weirdly, that last bit had almost been complimentary. Maybe Shadow was warming up at last – slowly, of course. Like a melting glacier. Chances of New Chapter Soon: High

Beyond Prophecy Fandom: Sonic Pairing: Sonic/Shadow Summary: What if Shadow was in the Sonic Underground universe? Excerpt: Sonic looked straight at him, "We think... we're actually pretty sure... that's he's found out about you." Shadow felt himself go cold all over. All of the queen's careful plans, all of the times he had kept his distance, maintaining his position of silent protector, all out the window now. Shadow cursed his carelessness, his weakness in allowing himself to stay with them and not vanish into the shadows that were his namesake. He should really leave right now, before things got any worse. And yet... and yet... when he looked into Sonic's dark eyes he couldn't bring his feet to move so much as a single inch. He cursed himself again. Chances of New Chapter Soon: Medium

Hold On Fandom: Sonic Pairing: Sonic/Shadow (noticing a theme?) Summary: Messed-up Chaos Control lands Shadow in the Sonic SatAM universe. Excerpt: They moved, dashing between cover, quick as lightning and quiet as a whisper. Sonic's eyes were intent, flicking around to check for danger, his ears swivelling to catch the slightest trace of an unwelcome sound. Despite this hyper vigilance, there was a confidence to every move the blue hedgehog made, the sight of which did odd things to Shadow's insides, to the point he was scolding himself to pay attention to the environment, not Sonic's behind. Chaos, one (really very good and very hot) kiss and he was acting like a swooning teenage girl from a lousy teen novel. Chances of New Chapter Soon: Medium/High

Running The Blade’s Edge Fandom: Sonic Pairing: Sonic/Shadow/Lancelot (Ha!) Summary: Fusion with Bleach. Hollows are hunting Sonic after his adventure in SatBK Excerpt: "We need to get out of here," Shadow said when he had regained his breath, his voice low and urgent, "I can't keep this up much longer." "What do you suggest?"  Lancelot growled, casting a glare at his double, "There is no avenue of escape. I am too weary even to Flash Step, and you have all but admitted that you feel the same weariness as I." Shadow scowled, knowing the knight was correct. He turned to the blue hedgehog, something close to desperation in his garnet eyes. Sonic's chaos powers were not as strong as his own...but perhaps together they could contrive enough power and focus to escape. "Sonic?" Sonic failed to reply. His eyes were closed, he seemed almost asleep, save for standing up. Shadow bared his teeth, gripping his arm and shaking him violently. “Sonic!” The blue hedgehog still didn't respond. 

Unnamed Djinn Fic Fandom: Sonic Pairing: Sonic/Shadow Summary: Unnamed fic where Sonic is a Djinn and Shadow is an exiled prince. That is all. Excerpt: Shadow sucked in a shocked breath as the sight before him penetrated his exhausted, heat-addled brain. It could only be a djinn - fur as blue as the deepest, purest oasis water, eyes that burned with green fire, appearing from nowhere in a puff of smoke. Who else but the spirits of smokeless fire could do such things? The djinn stared at him, not looking at all like the creatures from the storybooks he had seen long ago, who were all subservient or crafty by turns. This one looked almost bored... but there was something behind that affected apathetic expression, something that stalked behind the emerald eyes like a wild cheetah that had been caged. "Well?" the djinn asked sharply, tapping its foot impatiently, "C'mon, I ain't got all day." "What...?" Shadow asked, shocked, uncertain and exhausted his brain could produce nothing more helpful. "Three wishes. C'mon stripes, lets go. What do you want?"

Unnamed Alternate Universe Story Fandom: Sonic Pairing: Not decided Summary: Alternate universe where Shadow is raised by the Black Arms Excerpt: Shadow looked up and spat a mouthful of blood on the hem of Black Doom's robes, "I said, don't call me that!" He snarled like a wild animal, "You are NOT my father," the sudden surge of rage-borne strength seemed to seep out of him again and he slumped back into the guard's grasp, "I... I know the truth, now." Black Doom glared in disgust at the blood on his robe - mostly from the colour, which was an insipid red colour, rather than the deep purplish-black of true Black Arms blood. He focussed back on Shadow, "And what does this so-called truth benefit you, Shadow?" he asked darkly, "I brought you into this Universe to serve the Black Arms. How is irrelevant.  You exist as my warrior and weapon - that is the only truth that has any meaning." 

Lavender Dreams Fandom: ReBoot Pairings: Canon only Summary: In which I try and fix the messed-up ending of Season 4 Excerpt: They were no where near as prominent as they had been before Glitch had given him his code back from Megabyte, there was just a faint glitter of them on his forehead and down the side of his face, but they were undoubtedly there. Trying to keep a grip on the panic that was slowly trying to swallow his processor, he checked the rest of his appearance. His hair remained short and pristine; his clothes still in good condition, and his keytool sat quietly in its customary place, in perfect repair and exactly as it should be. Well, that was something to be thankful for, anyway. "I'm sorry," Glitch whistled suddenly. Bob glanced down at his partner. "For what, Glitch?" Bob asked, "I thought the patch I gave you would fully restore and repair your code, but it looks like the registry problems couldn't be fixed after all,"
