Summary
.
.
.
.Eggman’s war ended, but Sonic didn’t. Two years lost in a coma, he wakes to find his friends have moved on, his body patched together, and his speed forbidden. Shadow offers him a place to stay—not out of kindness, but something harder to name. Between medical checkups, quiet mornings, and questions he doesn’t want to answer, Sonic has to relearn how to live in a world that doesn’t need its hero anymore.
Or, Sonic missed two years of his life, and Shadow takes him into his home. One way or another, his mind forces him to cope in unimaginable ways. (this story includes age regression eventually, not centric though! Its more so recovery focused.)

Summary
“Thanks for getting here so quick Shadow- To be honest, I wasn’t sure if you were going to come at all-"
“Rouge.”
“Right. Okay.” Rouge broke off for a moment, taking a breath before resuming. “So. The tapes we found are… not quite what we thought they were.”
"I thought we agreed to hand them over to GUN to take care of."
"I know, but... I got curious," Rouge admitted, and Shadow scoffed, unsurprised, though growing more tense when he noted the unease in his friend's expression, her posture.
He followed Rouge into their living room. Sat on top of their end table was the box Shadow recognised, spotting the tapes they had recovered in the Eggman base poking out through the opened slit.
“Okay.” Shadow said, voice his usual deadpan drawl as he returned his attention to the bat. “What was it that was so important you needed me here?”
“I’ll just show you.”Or
Shadow and Rouge find a box of tape recordings in an abandoned Eggman facility with one clue on it; a piece of tape labeled 'SONIC'. When they finally watch the tapes to figure out what's hiding on them, they realize Sonic has been hiding a lot from everyone, and they may have just signed up for more than they bargained for.

Summary
After Sonic's friends head out on their own solo-journeys and Dr. Eggman decides to retire, Sonic struggles to find a new purpose in his life during these times of peace and loneliness. Desperate for distractions, he starts seeking out thrill and getting into one mess after another until he eventually ends up back on Starfall Islands while stalking a shady group of "treasure hunters". Due to a series of unforseen events, the whole group gets involved in a major explosion, with Sonic becoming it's sole survivor.
The hero once again has to deal with being injected with Dark Gaia - while the last time it happened, the evil energy was unable to breach his mental defenses - but a fragile state of mind and years worth of unresolved issues which have all built up ever since then make this an entirely different case.
The weight of the past will eventually catch up even to the fastest thing alive.

Summary
Sonic recently came back from the Starfall Islands. With all his friends gone on their own adventures, he has to learn how to grow on his own. The memories from past adventures have accumulated, scaring not only his body but his mind. He slowly starts deteriorating, will he ask for help? Or will he suffer alone?
OR
"He clutched his leg, trying to massage the cramp out for a few seconds, and then finally looked down. Instead of just seeing his leg, on his calf, he saw red and black crawling up his leg. The colors flickered and pixelated his leg, his breath catching at the sight of it. He blinked, and it was gone. Had he just imagined that, or was that really there? Was the corruption back? Had he truly not gotten rid of it all?"

There, amid the chaos of battle, Sonic finds the creature he was sent to defeat… and someone else. Shadow. Alive, changed, and carrying a surprise that will rewrite everything Sonic thought he knew about their night together—and their future.

Summary
much like my ultrakill work of the same vein, this fic consists of every sonic the hedgehog related fanfiction i haven't finished at the time of posting this. they probably won't ever BE finished, unless something autistic happens to me, and in that case i will remove the chapter(s) that fic has in this work and post it fully on its own.
it's mostly sonadow, sorry. some movie, some games, some in-between. goes in order of fondness, with the best for last. WHO Cares about good first impressions! please understand, a lot of these are cliffhangers, unintentionally. sorry.
(a couple of these chapters have, within them, multiple chapters. i'll try to make it easy to read.)Series
