Doppelgänger: A Tale of Two Hedgehogs² by queerwolf79

Summary
Sonic attempts to return to his normal life after the whole Shatterverse fiasco, but his reality flips out in a different way. An alternate dimension Sonic and Shadow wind up in Green Hill, after their villain uses their own version of a Paradox Prism to banish the two hedgehogs.
What is even more strange, besides having another Sonic and Shadow around, is just how different they are. Bizarro Shadow is a cocky and optimistic hedgehog with super speed, and Bizarro Sonic is a grouch and their universe’s Ultimate Lifeform. Just to make things all the more complicated and confusing, their Bizarro twins are apparently a couple.
After Sonic convinces Shadow to retrieve the Prism to help their doppelgängers return home, while Tails is about to test out his newly invented dimension portal device, an argument causes Sonic and Shadow to end up in their doppelgängers’ universe. Now Sonic and Shadow are stuck together in an unfamiliar world with an unhinged villain, and no way to get back home.
And what’s worse? Neither Sonic nor Shadow can get the fact their doppelgängers are dating out of their heads. Who would have thought traversing the Shatterverse was the less confusing situation?

Summary
A figure slowly arising from the depths with a confident smile, crossing their arms and opening their mouth to speak. Their voice was slightly rough, almost as if they hadn’t used it in years. ‘’I’m the world’s ultimate lifeform, since you were so kind to release me, my master…’’ They began, making Sonic’s head snap right towards them. ‘’I will grant you-’’ Suddenly, the figure seemed to falter. And Sonic finally got a good look at them. Their fur was pitch black, quills slightly raised in a shape that resembled that of a star with red highlights adorning the edges. Rings clutching tightly onto their wrist. Sonic remained silent, hesitating for a few seconds before a nervous smile made its way into his face. ‘’Uh…’’ The figure cut him off. ‘’Why do you look like me?!’'
Or
Due to wonders of fate, Sonic is the one that frees shadow instead of eggman in the beginning of sa2. Shenanigans ensue.

Summary
Sonic and Shadow despise each other, obviously. But they both deeply love a piece of media called “In the Whispers.” There are two characters in it they deeply love: Maurice and Thimble–who have a lot of romantic tension. Amy and Rogue are tired of Sonic and Shadow talking about the series with them, and not with each other.
Amy finds out there is a Spirit Halloween open during the Summer, but only one, and it's across the country. This Spirit Halloween holds exclusive costumes of Maurice and Thimble, so Amy and Rogue devise a plan: get Sonic and Shadow to embark on a road trip to bond and obtain those costumes. -

Summary
"Yes, Sonic, a mere fever won't be enough to strike you down," he answered flatly as he approached the door, hand hovering over the doorhandle before he glanced back at the annoyed hedgehog, who had his arms crossed and eyes closed under his furrowed eyebrows. "But you can't deny that it'll make you weaker. Stay in bed; I'll get you water and some other things. Rest." Even so, as Sonic's ear twitched with the familiar sound of the door closing, he opened his eyes. An annoyed, bored groan left his lips as he tapped the tip of his finger on his arm repeatedly, eyes reluctantly trailing all around the room in a desperate attempt to entertain himself.
-----
Sonic the Hedgehog has a fever but is too hyperactive to stay in bed and rest. Going for a sneaky run, he finds a specific brooding hedgehog to annoy.

Summary
Eggman starts up his usual chaos around Bygone Island, but this time, he brings in an unexpected visitor to help him with his deeds. Let's just say that this "newcomer" sparks up an unflattering chaos amongst Team Sonic, especially the well-renowned cobalt speedster.
OR
"A deep, commanding voice cut through our bickering like a blade.
Wait…
Why does that voice sound… familiar?
I turned my head—and there he was.
Standing beside Eggman, calm, still, and radiating with power, is the black and red hedgehog I know all too well.
My entire body freezes. Stiff as a board. My mouth goes dry. My brain stops, yet somehow races with a thousand thoughts at once.
And when I finally manage to speak, my voice came out low, unsure, and shaken—like I was stepping into something far bigger than I was ready for.
'Shadow...?'"

Reading The Fine Print by Salt_6PO36

Summary
Sonic has never needed to have precise vision, as signs and words usually flew past him as he ran. But if a mission were to come down to it, Sonic really couldn't make out letters and numbers when they are too small. If his friends were to catch on, they'd surely think he was weak and useless, right? So what happens when a mission relies on Sonic's reading skills and the plan fails?
Shadow wasn't anyone's idea of the best person to provide support, and his support certainly isn't conventional at first, but after Sonic shows up more and more (and a couple of threats from Amy's hammer), they start to grow close.
Or, hedgehogs have notoriously poor vision, especially in the light. What if this applied to Sonic?

I'm sorry sonadow fans I just find them WAY more wholesome and cute as siblings, not every interaction between these 2 needs to be romantic, you know?
