    Summary

    Sonic is Blue. That's the worst part. 
    Everything blue is stained with Maria's blood.
    ☆☆☆
    How Shadow mourns his sister, Maria.
    OR, psychoanalyzing the absolute shit out of Shadow the Hedgehog.
    ☆☆☆
    Follows the Sonic 3 movie plot, but from the perspective of shadow. And with a few extra things thrown in.
    Also the hedgehogs may or may not be gay. (Movie sonadow is my favorite sonadow🥹)

    This was supposed to be a character study using the 5 Stages of Grief.
    When I rewatched the movie with my roommate, and the “Oh ivo, you're no Maria” scene happened,- this mf (who doesn't like sonic btw) turned to me and went:
    “There's no way this isn't implied grooming.”
    Safe to say this fic may have evolved way past its original blurb...
    (Will NOT contain depiction of sexual abuse. Grooming does not have to be sexual.)
    ☆☆☆
    Fic playlist!!! It is an ordered playlist, but shuffle works perfectly fine too:)

    Summary

    Shadow’s body has begun to change; modifying itself according to the Black Arms’ original designs for him. But this time, Black Doom isn’t pulling the strings. It’s his own DNA turning against him, forcing him to face the part of his heritage he’s spent years trying to bury.

    When Rouge starts noticing something off about him, she turns to the only person stubborn enough to get through to Shadow: Sonic. She knows that, somehow, the blue hedgehog has a way of breaking past his walls.

    And, as expected, it doesn’t take long before Sonic discovers Shadow’s new… additions. True to form, Sonic immediately decides he’s going to help (whether Shadow wants him to or not).

    Or

    Dumb idea I got where Shadow gets his wings (and other changes). Shadow has a hard time accepting and controlling these permanent changes to his life, and Sonic helps him because he’s gay

    Summary

    =

    Shadow’s legs move before he can stop them, barely closing the door behind him as he rushes over, kneeling in front of Sonic to be eye level with him.

    He can smell a change in Sonic’s normal heart rate. His heart is racing, even more so than it usually is.

    The change in scent sends signals to Shadow’s mind; old, instinctual ones. Ones he hasn’t had in a long time.

    HELP HIM! his mind screams. HE’S GOING TO FAINT! ALERT HIM!

    He shakes his head, mentally. Sonic doesn’t faint; at least, not that he’s seen.

    Sonic’s not Maria.

    And this isn’t a medical episode (to his knowledge); it’s a panic attack.

    Although, Maria had had a lot of those, too.

    =

     

    OR 3 times Shadow uses his old service animal training to help Sonic, and the 1 time Sonic is able to help Shadow.

    Summary

    Maria doesn’t mind Shadow being quiet.

    When people talk, he looks up: at faces, at indicators of a command, a direction, guidance. He waits to be told what to do. Run on the treadmill; give a blood sample, squeeze the dynamometer; do a spinal tap. He’s got a voice, a memory lauded with languages, all the means and reasons to ask the what and the why.

    They drain him, the researchers; yet, he doesn’t ask what for. Maybe somebody’s already told him. Or he overheard his purpose. He’s alive so she can stop dying too early, and that’s enough for a purpose for him, so he does as he’s told.

    She tries to give him opportunities to just be her little brother, just do fun things with her, things that don’t hurt him. He’s always clueless what to do then. Mobian hedgehogs are a social species, much in the same way humans are. Shadow’s not very social.

    She knows there’s a lot in his head that he won’t or can't say. It’s just how he is. She’s fine with that.

    Charmy was lonely.

    He didn't have many friends.

    It was difficult to make friends.

    It was difficult.
