    Summary

    Newly settled into Jackson City, you’re assigned to patrol duty with Joel Miller; a man of rough edges and a cold facade. What begins as forced proximity slowly shifts into something raw and all-consuming.

    But as the past creeps forward through old wounds and the ever-present threat of the world outside Jackson's walls, your feelings for one another become both a sanctuary and a liability.

    In a world already broken, where there is already so much to lose, can you let yourself love Joel Miller?

    Summary

    Rouge had been nagging him that he ought to find someone for years, even if it was just a fuck buddy. Getting that sort of urge out of his system would have done him good, but in what world would he ever entertain the concept of someone else handling him in the most intimate way one could? He liked his life alone–it was free of the headaches and annoyances that came with being around others. He didn’t need anyone.

    But he wanted someone.

    [We pick back up right after the events of Heat and the aftermath of Sonic and Shadow's inner turmoil now that they've formed a bond that can't easily be ignored]

    Summary

    Shadow returns to earth, missing his memories save for his name and a gruesome flashback of the death of someone named Maria. Sonic finds him, wandering a forest in New York, and in true Sonic fashion, brings Shadow home to help him recover his memories. That receives a mixed reception from his family, but ultimately, they all come to realize this could be the chance to give Shadow the life he never got to have since he landed on Earth over fifty years ago.

    Unfortunately, as usual, nothing could be that simple for the Wachowskis. A dark entity has been watching Shadow’s progress from afar, waiting for the perfect moment to strike. Will the darkness Shadow was born with outweigh what he feels for the light that is Sonic the Hedgehog?

    Can love save the day, and more importantly, the world?

    Summary

    On a beautiful, sunny morning—just perfect for a carefree hedgehog to go on a nice run!—Sonic finds out he's a father... technically.

    Does it still count if his son is created with his and his rival's DNA, without their discretion, for the sole purpose of being a super weapon of mass destruction?

    Summary

    After the events of Sonic Prime, Shadow is the only one who knows where the Paradox Prism is hidden—and naturally, Eggman wants it. When a botched ambush lands Sonic and Shadow in captivity together, close proximity becomes a problem. Or perhaps it’s the solution neither of them saw coming.

    But escaping is only the beginning. With Eggman closing in, the battle for the Prism forces them to confront more than just an enemy. As the line between rivalry and something deeper begins to blur, they’re left facing the truth they’ve been avoiding all along.

    By the time they realise what they truly mean to one another, will the moment to act have already slipped away?

    Or—this fic was once a oneshot of "the classic Sonic and Shadow trapped in a box. Again!" Before it then spiraled into an entire plotline.

    Completed!
