Summary
Shadow may have moved on from the events of Space Colony ARK, but now he has to learn how to live beneath the haunting spectre of White Space.
Still reeling from the recent loss of Maria and Gerald, Shadow finds himself back in Central City, resuming his work as a G.U.N. agent to distract himself from his grief. But G.U.N. is suffering from a public image crisis, and their actions force Shadow to reckon with his past once again. In their desperation, G.U.N. asks him to work alongside the Central City Children’s Hospital to help sick children.
This PR stunt was obviously designed to exploit Shadow's past and invoke Maria's memory, and Shadow knows it. But despite his anger and misgivings, he realises that the hospital program would finally give him a second chance to fulfil his intended purpose as a cure. He can't ignore the risk that his efforts might help G.U.N. whitewash their past actions ... but this opportunity could also help him find a new way to fight for the world that Maria loved.

More than 50 years later, Shadow has become one of their top operatives, taking on the most dangerous 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
The United Federation has collapsed. Machines roam the streets. And the Guardian Units of Nations no longer exist. But when a human girl risks entering one of GUN's abandoned facilities in a last-ditch effort to find tech that could save her life, she finds a menacing stranger ... one who knows far more about the defunct paramilitary organisation than anyone else left alive in this world.

Summary
“Were you in one of your moods again?” she asked.
Shadow didn’t reply, which was as much of a yes as Rouge ever got from him. She let out a heavy sigh.
“Shadow, this is getting serious,” she said. “I thought getting you a place out of the way from everyone would give you time to think and I know that's what you said you wanted but ... this doesn’t seem to be helping. You need to be around people.”
Shadow groaned, shook his head, and started past her.
“Don’t walk away from me!” she shouted.
“Fine. I felt like running anyway,” he said.
“Oh don’t be that way!”
--------
[After a fateful call from Eggman, Shadow's depression reaches its lowest point. Not willing to let him fall further, Rouge and Sonic arrange a plan to pull him out of it ... by forcing him to interact with all the friends he ignored for so long. Shadow may be perpetually grumpy and antisocial but really, what's the worst that could happen?A comedy/dramedy staring Shadow interacting with other Sonic characters. Takes place in a divergent, hodgepodge continuity taking elements and characters from different Sonic games, comics, shows, etc.]

Shadow has been grappling with the realization that he maybe doesn’t remember Maria as well as he thinks he does.
Luckily— or unfortunately, maybe— there’s one other person alive who knew her.
