Summary
"I'm not mad," whispers his hero. "You know that, right?"
Of course Sonic isn't mad. He's not just the fastest runner alive, he's quick to forgive, too. That's part of the pang in Silver's chest. He knows that Sonic is the exception. Sonic will forgive him no matter what.
Don't lie to me, Silver thinks. Please don't lie to me.
But Sonic does. He says, "Shadow just needs some time. He'll come back."

The Decade We Missed by sad_badger
Fandoms: Sonic the Hedgehog - All Media Types, Sonic the Hedgehog (IDW Comics), Sonic the Hedgehog (Video Games)

Summary
It's been 10 years since Sonic last saw Shadow, and in that decade, life had not been kind. He's stumbling through adulthood with no sense of direction or purpose, crumbling under the existential dread of aging, and to top it off, is suffering through an exhausting divorce process. Just as his whole world seems to be collapsing around him, however, an old friend returns... And might just be the lifeline he didn't realise he needed.
Now Sonic is having to navigate adulthood, heartbreak, grief and whatever these new (or maybe old) feelings are for his ex-rival. The strangest part is that Shadow seems to be the stable, emotionally competent one. What he doesn't know is that shadow is hiding a secret of his own- Ten years of feelings that he thought he'd let go of threatening to return.
This is a future-set Sonadow slow -burn where Sonic and Shadow reconnect after a decade of no contact. A mix of hurt/comfort, slice-of-life, humour, drama, fluff and spice (eventually). Themes include grief, romance, friendship, aging panic, unconditional love/care, and a flipped dynamic- Sonic is the one falling apart, and Shadow is the one who’s already healed.

Summary
Shadow's life has been full of mistakes, some worse than others, but admitting his unrequited feelings to Sonic tops the list. He's spent the better part of a decade ruminating on his regret and hiding from feelings he couldn't bear to face. He never thought he'd see Sonic again, and he told himself that was for the best.
Until now.
At the bequest of his former rival, and in an attempt to finally get closure, Shadow has returned to Central City. The reason?
Sonic the Hedgehog is marrying Amy Rose.
And Shadow is invited.

Namely, by being cuffed at the wrist to none other than Shadow the Hedgehog.

When Killua's eyes look like this, it’s impossible for Gon not to feel like same sense of home he feels when he stares at the ocean surrounding Whale Island. Oddly enough, it’s started to make him feel the same sense of longing, too. He finds this confusing, because Whale Island is far away, which is why he misses it. But he can see Killua right in front of him. And for some reason, it’s not enough.

There's Got To Be Something Better Than In The Middle by glintchi
Fandoms: Hunter X Hunter
01 Jul 2020

Summary
It’s been eight years since Killua and Gon parted ways at the World Tree. Now, both accomplished hunters and roommates, it’s as if they had never said goodbye. Killua is convinced that nothing could disturb their almost-perfect life, until Gon takes a job without his knowledge.
Istapo is a famous island resort with picture perfect beaches, crystal-clear waters, and a lush jungle with romantic waterfall destinations carefully marked on manicured paths. On this island, hidden deep within the middle of the jungle blooms an extremely rare and pricey flower, and that is the target of Killua and Gon’s hunt. The only problem is that Istapo maintains one very strict rule: Only married couples are allowed to step foot on the island. Gon knows this very well, and comes up with what he thinks is the obvious solution, a marriage license.
Will Killua be able to survive the ordeal, surrounded by couples and maintaining the pretense of Gon as his husband, with feelings he’s hidden deep down throughout the years threatening to bubble up? Or will it all come crashing down around his ears, giving life to his worst fears that Gon will eventually leave him again?

Summary
Then Gon said, “Do you want to come with me?”
Yes, Killua thought immediately and fervently. Yes, I want to go with you, and hang out with you, and have fun with you, and sleep in the same room as you, and it can be like it used to, when everything was easy —
(there was another part of him that thought, if you let him in too close again you might get hurt just like before — )
“Yeah,” Killua said, and smiled at him. “Okay.”
After three years apart, Gon asks Killua to come with him as he investigates a possible way to get back his Nen. Killua agrees, despite everything that remains unsaid between them. And everything goes great.Until it doesn't.

Summary
"They run. Killua doesn’t know where, but it doesn’t matter. Alluka is calling after them, but it doesn’t matter. His lungs are raw and breathless, his feet are still bare from when he left his shoes by Mito-san’s front door, his knees still hurt from where they had collided with the hard wooden pier not too long ago -
It doesn’t matter. All that matters is Gon’s fingers hot and tight around Killua’s wrist. Gon’s ragged breath, matching Killua’s own. Gon’s shoulders, with mossy mountains and vast seas cradled between them, shifting while he runs and Killua runs after him."
(In which Killua learns how to trust again and Gon learns how to earn it back.)
