    Summary

    It became one of those background facts in her life. The sky was blue. The grass was green. Amy Rose could heal from the worst of things, so long as she believed in Sonic.

    That's why it was suddenly so shocking to her when, one random day, it started to glitch out.

    Summary

    "Aww, c'mon, I know how much you love talking when you can! I remember when you were trying to kill us, talking about your robot kingdom…" She left out the parts she remembered the most- the madness, the anger hiding despair, him admitting to his own fear. Those were things he didn't want them to see, even though she was pretty sure even Cream could pick up on it.

    This seemed to produce a response- the third thing she'd found that made him so much as twitch, after the television and the one time she'd talked to him about her Bat Mitzvah when she had no idea what else to even bring up. His movements were delayed (from the damage to his body or remaining reluctance, she couldn't say) and his hands jerky, but he propped himself up and grabbed the notebook and pen so hard she feared he might break them.

    Slowly, he wrote a reply, pressing the pen down harshly enough it bled into the pages beneath it. When he held it out, the words were in shaky block caps, and Amy got the sense he'd never written something without a keyboard in his life. "MY HAPPINESS IS IRRELEVANT. I SERVE MY PURPOSE."

    Or, Amy Rose tries to help a “friend” only to find that she’s in way out of her depth.

    Summary

    Your body is not your own.

     

    That's the first thing you learned, before you'd even understood the hate written into every line of your code and the fear that shouldn’t have been there but was anyway. You'd awoke half finished, your optical screen still not properly attached to your chassis and a drill to your hip. Your code threw error message after error message at the intrusion, and every instinct you'd had programmed told you to run, run, run.

    ~~

    Or, a little something on Metal Sonic and bodily autonomy.

    Summary

    Torn apart under the most dramatic of circumstances, The Diamond Cutters were no more - each member unable to find it in themselves to forgive one another.

    Now ten years on, they've gone their separate ways; fighting for a scrap of what they believe in. A disillusioned Tangle becomes a violent vigilante, a resigned Whisper kills for a living, and a tired Lanolin struggles within a rotten justice system and an equally rotten partner. Never have they felt so alone.

    When an unknown criminal organisation stake their claim on the streets, their paths will unexpectedly cross again. Can they overcome the hurt and reunite, or does the betrayal run too deep, dooming them to forever be enemies?
