Shadow and Sonic or Shadow and Tails headcanons? 💞
Hell yeah, I am all over this ask. They are. My favorite guys ever. Here are some Shadow and Tails headcanons for youuuu
Tails and Shadow, my beloveds
No one expects Tails and Shadow to get close, but once they give it a bit of thought it actually makes a lot of sense
I mean they're both these mechanic loving introverts with somewhat mysterious pasts so it checks out
Definitely think Tails was afraid of Shadow in the beginning so it took a long time for them to actually become friends, but once they do they're inseparable
They're the type of friends to split off from the main friend group during group events and show up three hours later with no warning
I think Shadow treats Tails older than how Sonic treats him. I think Shadow would be more willing to leave Tails alone during missions, and it makes Tails feel like he's trusted. It takes so much of the burden of needing to prove himself off his shoulders
Sonic trusts Tails with his life ofc, and Tails knows that, but with Sonic being so.... Over protective it's hard to believe it sometimes. It's different with Shadow, he has an easier time showing trust in a way Tails understands
If Tails needs a second pair of eyes to look at an invention he's probably calling Shadow, one of the only easily accessible people he knows who likes machinery as much as him
You can pry Shadow being a Car Guy(tm) out of my cold dead hands
I think Shadow and Tails are more prone to arguing than Sonic and Tails, mostly because they're arguing about Sonic lol
Whether it's Shadow saying Sonic's annoying and Tails brother instincts kicking in to defend him, because nobody can make fun of his brother except him, or Shadow scolding Tails for his martyr tendencies that he very obviously got from his older brother
I can definitely imagine Shadow and Tails being close and seeing some of the trauma that Tails has been through, Shadow lashes out in this like... Protective anger and calling Sonic anywhere between a mediocre to a bad older brother and Tails just not having it
Otherwise, those two are best friendlies forever and ever. They just have a few differences in who they think is worth hanging around lol
Unfortunately for Tails it is just as hard to get a genuinely emotionally vulnerable conversation out of Shadow as it is with Sonic, fortunately though he's not willing to initiate them either, Shadow still frets when Tails gets hurt tho... Just in a much less hovering way and a more brooding "uncaring" way lol
If this keeps up nobody is ever going to teach that kid any emotional competence =(
Shadow encourages weapons of mass destruction but only if he gets to field test them, and if Tails please stops making all his inventions such garish colors
Everyone takes delight in watching one of the babies of the group try and imitate the brooding mess that is Shadow the Hedgehog. Fully believe if Tails has an emo phase it's entirely Shadows fault

Had You Returned To Me?
(SA2 AU where Shadow caught Tails on the cameras and realized how similar he was to Maria. First person POV.)
Things are starting to get into place, Maria will be avenged soon enough. I just have to check the cameras and...
Wait a second. Did I see that right?
Going to rewind the security footage and...
Yes. I did see that right. A fox in a mech very much similar to Eggman's own.
But this fox looks like Maria.
Why?
I'm going to check the files to see if there's anything on this fox.
(Some time later)
Miles 'Tails' Prower.
That's the fox's name.
Nothing on Tails' origin, despite my best searching.
But he has to be connected to Maria somehow. That's the only way to explain how similar they look.
No records on the ARK of a potential clone of Maria so that idea is out the window.
G.U.N creating a Maria clone to have someone with her intelligence on their side seems in their ballpark but G.U.N records had no trace of a project to clone Maria so that was out of the window as well.
If Tails wasn't a clone of Maria...
He must be her reincarnation.
While reincarnation has no scientific basis, it would make a lot of things about their similarities make sense.
Maria has finally returned to me in time to see the humans pay for her death.
I promise I will protect Tails like I wasn't able to protect Maria.
