When The Lights Go Down by AnonymousBoopleSnoot

Summary
I see things I can't explain
Calling out my name
The lights go down
Holding every memory close
Tonight is for our ghostsIt's been seven months since Possum Springs was rocked by a wave of sudden unexplained disappearances. As Bea Santello attempts to tread water in a town that's drowning faster than ever, Mae Borowski retreats from her hometown, desperate to escape the ghosts that still haunt her.
Meanwhile, Lori Meyers struggles to write her way out of Possum Springs, hoping a film school scholarship will be just the thing she needs. And when she begins to have disturbing dreams of demonic presences, hooded figures, and a mysterious cavern deep in the woods, it seems like the perfect inspiration for a killer horror movie...right?
Secrets can't stay buried forever, and the past has a funny way of coming back to haunt people. And when Mae and friends are brought face-to-face once again with the dark underbelly of the place they call home, it's going to take everything they have not to fall apart alongside it.

What Hides in the Walls of Abandoned Space Stations by MajestyMonarch

Summary
Gerald quickly puts a hand on Shadow's shoulder, stopping him in his tracks. ”No…no. You two must follow me,” he starts to briskly walk out of the testing wing, looking back with urgency after a few steps, “Quickly!” At that, Shadow takes Maria's hand, following the professor’s pace. Once they leave the safety of the testing wing, Shadow’s ear twitches, picking up a faint sound. A repetitive banging, much deeper into the arc. It only takes a moment to identify.
Gunshots.
In an alternate timeline where Gerald is alerted of upcoming GUN raid months in advance. Long enough to make a contingency plan. Now G.U.N. isn't going to get their hands on either of his wards, they won't get their weapon, or lay a hand on dear Maria. He just hopes they forgive him one day, even if he doesn't live to see it.
Aka Shadow and (Alive!)Maria get woken up from stasis during SA2 and end up with the wrong crowd.

Summary
Against all odds, Shadow, Maria, and Gerald Robotnik escape from G.U.N. in 1974, and when the U.S. military launches an extensive search for the Ultimate Lifeform, Gerald decides to take the whole family on the run, including Maria’s robotics-obsessed younger cousin Ivo. Maria, Shadow, and Ivo spend the next several years growing up together, forging a close sibling bond thanks to their unconventional childhood, but their family ties are put to the test when Shadow makes a surprising discovery that leaves him wondering who - or more accurately, what - he really is.

Pain. Searing, endless pain. No matter what he did―no matter where he went―it gripped him by his throat, demanding him to look it in the eyes and break one teardrop at a time.
The agony of losing Maria and Gerald Robotnik again devours Shadow, but he finds unexpected solace in a pink hedgehog he once gave a special promise to.

Summary
Shadow the Hedgehog has strived for years to keep his promise to Maria. To protect the people of earth, to keep them safe so they can find their happiness. It hasn't been easy, and he's stumbled on the path, but as G.U.N. recovers after the war to retake the world from Eggman, a plea for aid and a harrowing video of machines slaughtering Mobians sets Team Dark on a mission to find the one responsible for such mindless violence.
But this foe is like none they have faced before. Ruthless, murderous, and intent on a single objective, it will take everything Shadow and his friends have to put a stop to the madness before more innocents die, every lost life stoking a raging inferno in the Ultimate Lifeform's heart that threatens to consume him and everyone around him.
But there are things stronger than hate and malice in this world. And a chance meeting with Amy Rose may be what it takes to save Shadow from himself, and make him face the most important question of his life.
What does it mean to be a protector?

Summary
"I want my brother back, Abraham."
"Your...Your brother- You mean Project Shadow!?"
--
Maria Robotnik has lived for fifty years on the planet she once looked down upon from the ARK. She's had a fulfilling life, the medication she takes making her condition less life threatening and more chronic. Still, she's now in her 60s and she's not getting any younger. There's still one thing she wants more than anything. Her little brother. The reason she's still alive to begin with has been locked away all this time. He needs the chance to live a life of his own.
And it's hard to expect life to remain simple even when she does get him out. The world keeps turning and her cousin is still determined to take over it. Just as she and Shadow start to settle into a new normal, they have to fight for the world, though they're not alone in the fight.
And Shadow? Shadow is quickly learning that even in the new "normal" everything is somehow weirder than his life on the ARK. Especially when encountering a certain blue hedgehog.

More Than A Victim by TheWrittenPaige

Summary
Maria has come to a realization: she's going to die. Naturally, the only solution is to warp time and space to prevent her own death.
With a new friend in Amy Rose, Maria plans to use White Space to cure herself, stop the bullet that ends her life, and vent some long-repressed anger about her situation. Along the way, she'll show off the girl behind her ever-cheerful mask, make some new friends, and cause more than her fair share of explosions.
After all, why should hedgehogs be the ones having all the fun? She's gotta make up for lost time.
Do you ever wonder how the sacrificial lamb feels about being slaughtered? Do you think they ever wished it could have gone differently? To selfishly want to survive, even if it hurt others? Is the lamb allowed the little mercy of anger at the greater good?

Summary
Shadow made the ultimate sacrifice. He warned Professor Gerald of Maria’s fate, saving her but damning himself in the process. Based upon the Professor’s hypothesis, he initially believed that he would cease to exist. He suffered a far worse outcome. Cast out into the void beyond time and space, he must share his newfound prison with the very entity he trapped there.
Mephiles.
Meanwhile, a new timeline was born, one where Maria got the chance to grow up. Different versions of Sonic and Shadow nurse a budding relationship. What will become of them when both worlds collide?

Summary
Sometimes, all it takes for the world to change...is a little timing. Suppose GUN found out that Gerald was jerking them around a little earlier, when Shadow wasn't as grown/developed? Suppose his escape pod was just damaged enough that GUN never found him, in all those years? What might he become, without Gerald's manipulations? What might he feel, younger and still bereaved? And what might he decide, in a little house by Never Lake, with the person who found him instead?
A look into how things might have gone for Shadow, if the worst day of his life hadn't been followed by GUN and Gerald each trying to outdo it. Rated T due to Maria's final moments, realistically described, and for references to emotional/psych abuse by Gerald to keep his medical experiment compliant.

Summary
By definition; it's seeing something in a positive way, often thinking of it as better than it actually is.
But for these two it's a wild tale of overcoming differences and odds, with danger looming on the horizon. Throughout it all, they try to remain optimistic that everything could work out for a new beginning, but maybe they're blinded by the rose-tinted glasses...

Summary
There’s a furrow in his brow that she isn’t sure she wants to interpret, but there’s no smirk on his face or goad on his tongue, so maybe it’s okay that she murmurs a half-conscious thank you to him before she’s lulled to sleep by the sound of the rain hitting the fabric of the tent.
It doesn’t occur to her that she hadn’t told him her name.
—
Shadow, they call him. Only loves his colts and his horses, that one.

Summary
What if you had the chance to walk into your past and change everything?
When a battle with the baddie of the week becomes a Master Emerald-sized problem, Shadow and Sonic are in the heart of it. Now able to transport more than just sandwiches with his portals, the Sandomancer uses his newfound power to send Shadow on a dive through reality. Sonic attempts to save him and gets pulled along for the ride. They find themselves in a place that’s both familiar and completely foreign: Space Colony ARK, as it stood fifty years ago. As alarm bells start to ring, there’s no mistaking the date. Shadow’s priority is to get the hell out as soon as possible, and survive being stuck with Sonic for company, until he comes across a familiar sight. A black and red hedgehog running with a girl he knows like his own heartbeat.
Chaos, they’re so young.
Priorities change, and so does everything else.
