    Summary

    "When Shadow saw Sonic standing all bedraggled and barefoot in the kitchen, package of pasta in his hands, struggling to read the instructions, he couldn’t help but sigh fondly, another part of the tightness in his chest loosening (the shower had helped a small amount with that, but it hadn’t worked as well as just seeing Sonic again).

    Shadow didn’t have the bandwidth for words right now, or for making much eye contact, but Sonic hadn’t seemed to mind (he never seemed to mind). And then Sonic had told him he loved him..."

    OR

    Sonic is tired after a long day of fighting badniks, and when he gets home, he finds out Shadow is tired from a long day, too, having been out on a solo GUN mission. They do their best to comfort each other, and help each other deal with the aftermath of their bad day, so they can finally get some rest and have a good night.

    (In other words, Sonic and Shadow fight angst with the power of love and being sickeningly soft with each other)

    Summary

    Sonic fears Shadow only values him for adrenaline, while Rouge holds a deeper bond. A misunderstanding after a race sends Sonic spiraling, leading to lies and avoidance that confuse and hurt Shadow. Both hedgehogs grapple with unspoken feelings – Sonic with jealousy and self-doubt, Shadow with genuine concern and a desperate need to understand – their fragile connection strains.

    Summary

    Shadow's been on high alert ever since he fought Neo Devil Doom in White Space. Even if it was a time anomaly, there was always a chance the Black Arms would return.

    Rouge notices.

    And she takes Team Dark out for some self-care. (Read: Beating up criminals.)

    Although the world has been saved, Shadow finds no relief. He's racked with grief - weighed down by the reminder that he's going to outlive everyone he cares for. The world seems determined to take away everything he loves, leaving Shadow to wonder if life is really worth living in the first place.

    ...

    But Sonic refuses to let Shadow face the darkness alone.
