Two voices. One song. A bartender and a musician, both chasing for something more, hoping to find common ground. One had faced backlash, trauma, and pain for trying to protect the personal song of someone he loved. The other kept writing lyrics, hoping for recognition, even if most of them ended up crumpled in the trash. One night, Sonic heard the city's grumpiest, loneliest bartender, Shadow, sing, and it sparked something in him. Hope, inspiration, and a new dream. Shadow agreed to help Sonic write music, even if it meant confronting his old past, and the very reason he moved to the city and changed himself in the first place. Will Sonic be the one to help Shadow confront his hardships and overcome the weight of it all so they can reignite the passion they both truly love?

As the two form an unlikely duo, Sonic soon discovers a horrifying secret beneath all that beauty; a fanged hedgehog thirsting for crimson nectar.

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.
