⚠️Story contains disturbing parts ⚠️ This story was inspired by Mid Sommar. Shadow a black-furred hedgehog was washed up from the shore after a fight with the demons at bay, defeated by Black Doom's army. He was found surely after by the locals in the near by area. Awoken inside a tent, discovering bandages wrapped on his body. He'd realize he landed on small island. A cult with a biocentrism belief; claiming their life and soul involved around the natures of the earth. The leader told Shadow to repay their act of service by joining and marrying one of the members, in which Shadow heavily denied. The leader then offered that he can only stay for the cult's 7 Day festival. As the days begun, one particular hedgehog caught his eye.

On his first day of college, Shadow reluctantly attends a party with Rouge and finds himself captivated by Sonic, a carefree blue hedgehog. As Shadow grapples with his growing feelings, he must confront his attraction and decide whether to embrace love or retreat into his tough exterior. Notice: This story has some characters that I've created, and is TOTALLY fictional. NOT canon! Please also keep note that I will use a lot of references. It will also include a lot of timeskips, as this story is supposed to represent a lifetime of love. Please do ask me questions if you're a bit confused with the plot. Thumbnail art is not mine❕

the amount of times i have redone this description is insane. - After years of being apart, Sonic- a lesser known boxer trying to make a name for himself- re-crosses paths with none other than his old rival, Shadow. Only now, the ebony hedgehog isn't just any rival anymore-he's an international idol, beloved by many fans across the globe. Despite their natural hatred between one and another, buried feelings begin to blur the line between rivalry and something much more complicated. or: Shadow is an idol, Sonic is a boxer. - all art creds belong to @shipslucia on X.

After the two hedgehogs finally reunited, they experience the journey of self discovery and love while trying to keep their relationship together from personal difficulties and dealing others in the way. (This story is in the process of being rewritten)
