Summary
It’s really a surprise to Shadow that he still works at this little shop.
The pay’s not that great, the hours aren’t either.
They could easily make their ‘night shifts’ their entire career. It’s not like he’s struggling with money from them either.
Yet, despite his frequent doubts…“I’ll name her Princess Maria!”
… There’s always something that pulls him back.

Summary
Shadow awakens to a version of his world where the sky is permanently dark, and light really is running low. The outlook seems bleak, but as ever, Sonic appears, this time wielding a lightbulb big enough to show a way through this new, dark world. They’ve got each other, they’ve got more allies all around the world, and Sonic is holding the key to restoring hope to everyone.
There’s just a few issues… The world around them is decaying, reality is breaking, and the lightbulb is fragile. They’ve only got one shot.

Summary
One strange morning, Metal Sonic(?) awakes only to find something has gone wrong… His files, database access, and more are gone, replaced by fleeting memories of what was, most of which aren’t his. It doesn’t take long before he realizes he is a real hedgehog now, a being of flesh, blood and bone rather than the cold, unfeeling robot he used to be. Soon, though, he will come to realize that’s not the only thing that’s changed, with an Eggman plan having gone awry leading to his consciousness sharing a space with a certain hated rival. Though, begrudgingly, he may not be so hated anymore…
This fic is inspired by CatDragron's Brain Buddies AU!

Summary
When Shadow—alongside everyone else—was invited to Angel Island, he didn't expect to accidentally stumble across the Master Emerald. He also definitely didn't expect to be transported to another time and place, or that he would meet an Echidna who wasn't Knuckles. But, most importantly, he didn't expect said Echidna would try to talk to him about his feelings.
Or, as my friend called it: "4,000 year old Mesoamerican ghost girl explaining gender to someone from the 50s"

Summary
“Why?” Scarlet eyes held distrust, a bone-deep weariness, as his gruff voice echoed like harmony in the cobalt’s ears.
“Because you’re my friend,” Sonic shot back, as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. "And I’m not leaving you to die."
Doubt and confusion played inside those gorgeous rubies. “But why? Why risk everything for someone you don’t know?”
Sonic’s beating heart stopped, froze, the sound of helicopter blades echoing in his ears. His emerald gaze locked onto the ruby one of his mate.
Sonic shook his head, away from dangerous thoughts, his gaze softening, his voice quieter. "Because... I couldn't live with myself if I didn't. I don't know what it is about you, Shadow, but you're important to me. I’ve always known that. You're not someone GUN can use to their will. GUN should never have done any of that to you.”

Summary
(Tags will be added as the story continues)
"Shadow looked back to his teammate, seeing him in person for the first time in over a year. He hadn't changed a bit. The same goofy smirk painted his muzzle that never seemed to shut, cerulean quills and fur lined the same lean body that never lost a race, and emerald green eyes looked back at him the same cocky way they always did. Another detail that stayed consistent were the two chestnut brown scars that divided his torso midway down his ribcage. Sonic had those marks for as long as Shadow had known him, but he'd never found out where the other had gotten them from. He'd simply never asked."
AKA trans Sonic opens Shadow's eyes, who might not be as cis as they'd all been led to believe.
