    Summary

    Hermes may be a little too fast for the world, and he's fine with that. But receiving a genuine gift from the Underworld Ferryman makes the God of Swiftness feel appreciated in a way he never realized he could be.

    So he returns the favour.

    Summary

    Sometime during their unstoppable descent into the realm of the damned, it became apparent to V1 that they are merely a chess piece, moving at the hands of an unseen player; one that is swiftly closing in on the other for a resounding checkmate. At the very end of Hell, Gabriel loses his final match with the machine that unwittingly broke the shackles he had noticed far too late.

    Rather than putting an end to his existence, V1 instead takes the opportunity to shatter the board and stop the game.

    In the aftermath, both machine and archangel are left standing in the settling dust of the collapsed echelons of creative order. But a scorched earth isn't always the end. Something will eventually grow from the ashes of utter destruction, if given the chance.

    “O, Gabriel,” boomed Minos. “Now dawns thy reckoning, and thy gore shall glisten before the temples of man!”

    Summary

    The nightmare always starts the same.

    The Tornado idling on a field, red metal gleaming in the sun, an excited Tails flying circles around one of the wings.

    Last minute adjustments, he shouts.

    Take your time, Sonic shouts back.

    He is balancing on top of a low ledge, not even looking up. He hasn't looked up once ever since arriving here, ever since noticing the plane and the bags and hearing the engine purr relentlessly. Out of the corner of his eyes he can see his little brother zipping back and forth, can hear his excited chatter, low and muffled as if reaching him through glass. He concentrates on his shoes and on the thin ledge he is pacing on.

    Up and down. Up and down.

    I'm done, Tails calls.

    Great, Sonic calls back.

    *************************

    After the events of Sonic Frontiers Tails has left for his own adventure and Sonic is happy for his little brother. Everything is fine. Great even.

    Now if his mind would just stop playing tricks on him...

    Sonic dealing with events post-Frontiers… poorly. Neat character study
