Summary
The footage is convincing.
The grief is real.
Some mistakes can’t be undone, only answered. -

Summary
Shadow died saving the world.
At least that’s what Sonic keeps telling himself.
It’s easier not to think about the silence he left behind, easier to laugh, to run, to move on.
But grief has a way of waiting.
And sometimes, it comes back with a pulse.OR: Another shameless Shadow-whump fic, because author can't get enough of it.

Summary
Sonic exercised a skill few knew he had, patience. He waited quietly until the sobs eased and Rouge could finally get some words out. Once she started, she couldn’t stop, so Sonic listened, tried not to react and handed over a box of tissues while she spilled everything she had been holding on to.
The self neglect.
The self harm.
The attempts.
Rouge needs a break from looking after Shadow, so she calls in the one person he can't get away from.

Summary
Shadow braced one hand against the pillar and took a deep breath. He felt dizzy, and he could barely concentrate. His body’s internal clock began to accelerate, and an ominous ticking filled his ears. He’d done this many times before. His wounds would begin to close, and his body would begin to burn. He would ‘heal’ from his injuries, defying death itself... but not this time. An electrical charge surged through his bones, and his head felt like it was going to split open. He froze, and the ticking sound abruptly ceased.
GUN originally funded Project Shadow because they wanted an undying soldier... and they got their wish. More than 50 years later, Shadow has become one of their top operatives, taking on high-risk missions alongside the other members of Team Dark. But when a bomb defusal mission goes horribly wrong, Shadow finds himself out of action, forcing him to reckon with his intended purposes as a weapon and a cure.

Summary
“What’s going to happen to me?” He found himself asking. Why’d he ask that? Right, because of what he’d done.
There was a slight pause. Just a fraction of a second, but for a creature as sensitive to speed as Sonic, it was noticeable. And it hurt for some reason. It felt like a betrayal. “I don’t know.” Shadow answered.
“That bad, huh? So bad you’ve got to lie to me?”

Summary
The Professor does not need Shadow to power the Eclipse Cannon. He's found a new energy source, he says.
“Oh, how the mighty fall!” Ivo Robotnik crows when they see it. The energy source keeps its head down. It has green eyes, and cobalt fur, and quills that flicker with the same blue Chaos Energy flowing through the Cannon's systems.
Oh, Shadow thinks. The energy source looks like him.
