    Summary

    Tails would likely insist that’s really not how it should work, and that his personality has nothing to do with the speed of his … uh. Puberty, according to—whatever. Not going there.

    (or: a little guy becomes a slightly longer, lankier little guy. thinking about it. classic sonic centric)

    Summary

    Sonic has been alone dealing with the aftermath of Starfall Islands for a few weeks. He isn’t doing too good, but he refuses to reach out to anyone about the problems he won’t even address himself.

    Sonic gets an opportunity to further distance himself from these problems when GUN requests his help with a mission. Although it takes some convincing from the commander himself, Sonic joins…

    … as the Phantom Rider. No one other than the commander knows who’s underneath the helmet. Not even Team Dark— who Sonic is assigned to work with on this case— knows.

    As they solve the mission together, can Team Dark figure out who they’re working with? Can Sonic keep his identity hidden?

    Can Sonic finally face his problems head on?


    Or, Sonic as Phantom Rider does a mission with Team Dark, shenanigans and angst ensue

    Summary

    Rhea Island takes its toll on Sonic as he accepts he's probably not making it off this archipelago alive.

    Shadow has things to say about this.

    Summary

    "Was being in love something that could kill you?"

    or in other words

    Shadow the hedgehog realizes he's very much in love with Sonic and acts very normally. Huh, that's not right, ah, here it is! Shadow the hedgehog realizes he's in love with Sonic and tries to tell him without ever saying the words. It goes well and Sonic understands immediately. Why is it 36k words? Because I hate them and they make me sick and I'm apparently incapable of being normal about the things I like.

    Summary

    There used to be a single fundamental truth in Shadow's life that he has never expected to be proven to actually be an incorrect hypothesis. But then again 'impossible' has never been a legitimate word in Sonic's vocabulary.
