Summary
Tom and Maddie had talked about having kids the way many comfortably married couples did: vaguely, with the idea of 'someday' and 'it would be nice, but–'
Then Sonic broke into the garage and accidentally adopted himself into their family.
And then Tails.
Then Knuckles.
And now... Shadow.

Summary
────୨ৎ────
No quería hacerlo, no podía. Aunque era consciente de que no importaría su decisión.
Ya no había manera de cambiarlo.
Y, para él, se hizo tarde antes de siquiera notarlo.
Así que, antes de que pudiera arrepentirse, junto al malestar revuelto en su estómago, las palabras salieron sin pensarlo.
«Te ayudaré, Sonic».
[...]
San Valentín está a la vuelta de la esquina y el erizo azul más veloz que existe tendrá que reunir valor para ese día.
¿Por qué?, se preguntarán.
Bueno... para descubrirlo, primero Sonic tendrá que afrontar su rechazo al compromiso y las discusiones que tiene consigo mismo.
No obstante, la espera solo provocaba que la inquietud en él creciera sin control.
Por su parte, Shadow, quien estaba al límite más estrecho de la negación, tenía que resolver el gran aprieto en el que metió a su pobre corazón.
¿Llegará a expresar lo que siente? ¿O se lo tragará su conocido orgullo imperturbable?
Ambos erizos eran ajenos a que, probablemente, sus problemas están en igualdad de condiciones.

Summary
Shadow’s subconscious begged him to retreat, knowing that what he was about to say was not what he truly wanted. His heart could not, would not, let the words escape. Yet…
He knew it no longer mattered what he chose.
It was already too late.
So before he could regret it, with turmoil twisting in his stomach, the words spilled out unbidden.
“I’ll help you, Sonic.”
...Valentine’s Day is drawing near, and the fastest blue hedgehog must face his fear.
Why, you may ask.
Well... to find out, Sonic will first have to face his aversion to commitment and the arguments he has with himself.
Yet waiting only made it worse, his anxious thoughts a growing curse.
For his part, Shadow, who was on the verge of denial, had to resolve the predicament he had put his poor heart in.
Will he confess what lies inside, or let his pride keep love denied?
Both hedgehogs were unaware that their struggles unified.
────୨ৎ──
so Shadow hiding his feelings from Sonic and bunch of angst. I don't know how else to summarize it without it being a spoiler...

Between the time and love by NotYourHeroine

Summary
When Sonic falls to a weapon capable of harming even the ultimate lifeform, the universe seems to split in silence. Shadow watches his death unfold like something that was never meant to happen, an echo that follows him for… far too long. Long enough to wear down even what shouldn’t break.
And in that stretched-out emptiness, a desire takes shape. A wish never spoken aloud, yet somehow heard.
Suddenly, Shadow wakes up in a past that shouldn’t exist. A past where nothing has happened yet. A past where something might still be saved.
Or maybe it’s just a late reflection of everything he lost.
No one knows if this is a miracle, a temporal glitch, an inevitable collapse… or simply the last dream of someone who refused to accept his own grief.
All Shadow knows is this: this time, he won’t let the story repeat. -

Summary
When Team Sonic is sent to Tokyo by GUN to capture a dangerous alien threat, they discover a traumatized child instead. Rather than completing their mission, they bring Shadow home to Green Hills, where the Watchowski family attempts to create safety for a child who has only known experimentation and pain.
(AKA Shadow is 4 years old and the whole story goes sideways)

Summary
Sonic is so caught up in his thoughts he doesn’t react to the hand grabbing his muzzle— gently too— with said alien hedgehog inspecting him with childish curiosity. It’s not a gentility he was expecting in such sharp talons, not to mention from someone who basically amounts to an enemy.
******
Basically Shadow got yoinked by Black Arms a bit earlier than expected.
READ THE TAGS (They get updated if I forgot to add something), most characters here are aged up for a reason. My first fic, yay? -

Summary
Thanks to his job as an underpaid stagehand, Sonic is among the lucky few to meet his celebrity crush: the reclusive lead singer-songwriter of internationally famous rock band, Dark.
Shadow, on the last stop of their latest international tour, meets a handsome, friendly, extroverted stagehand who happens to be a talented hobby keyboardist.
Both secretly fall in love, and Shadow finds himself obsessed as they grow closer through music, but their budding relationship might be doomed if Shadow can't overcome the fear and emotional scars of his past. Fortunately, Sonic isn't the type to give up on anyone (even at their lowest).
Will they fit together or fall apart?

Summary
Shadow the hedgehog hasn't slept in a very long time. He has been haunted by memories he can't fully recall and he is burdened by a purpose he no longer understands. He started having dreams again and that's the problem.
The quiet is beginning to crack. Nightmares are beginning to bleed into reality and something is watching from the dark.
In the silence of darkness, Shadow is unraveling— and even the unbreakable can come undone. -

Shadows of the Heart (Shadow the Hedgehog x Female OC) by thvnkunextx
Fandoms: Sonic the Hedgehog (Live Action Universe)

Summary
Shadow the Hedgehog was never meant to survive the fall. Yet somehow, he did-broken, nameless, slipping in and out of half-memories that burn like ghosts under his skin. Tom and Maddie Wachowski take him in, offering safety he isn't sure he deserves, while Sonic struggles with the fear of losing him all over again.
And then there's Mavis--Sonic's fiercely loyal sister--whose unexpected connection to Shadow begins quietly, secretly, and far more deeply than either of them intend. As winter settles over Green Hills, buried memories start to rise, panic attacks grow sharper, and the truth of what happened during the G.U.N. raid draws closer with every heartbeat.
This is a story about healing, fear, found family, quiet love, and the moment a shattered past finally breaks open.
I do not own Sonic the Hedgehog or any of its characters. The only character I own is Mavis.
