In a world where people with special abilities are no longer free, the new President has turned them into weapons. Camps strip away their identities and train them like soldiers for battles that don't belong to them. Y/N has lived in secrecy, hiding her powers until the day she gets caught by Shadow the Hedgehog. She is drugged and imprisoned in a training facility, where she must show her strength to survive. With ease, she rises in rank and attracts the attention of Shadow. To Y/N, Shadow represents the chains that hold her down, a weapon under strict control, a man who supports the oppressive regime. However, Shadow is not what he seems; he is waiting for the right moment to dismantle the cruel system. To do this, he needs her powers. Despite the risks of trusting him, their lives become connected as the line between enemy and ally starts to blur. Together, they might become a powerful force for change in a world that desperately needs freedom.

Y/N thought she had left her past behind. After barely surviving her final mission with A.E.G.I.S (Advanced Enforcement Group for Interspecies Security) she walked away from the life of combat and secrecy, trading it for the quiet comfort of a coffee shop and newfound friends who knew nothing of the horrors she once faced. But when an otherworldly threat emerges- one only she has the knowledge to fight- her past is dragged into the light. As she struggles with the choice between protecting her new life and returning to the battlefield, she finds unexpected solace in Shadow the Hedgehog, whose own grief is stirred by her presence. She reminds him of someone he lost. With the fate of Mobius hanging in the balance, Y/n must face old ghosts, rekindle lost skills, and make an impossible choice: live in the future she dreamed of or fight for a tomorrow that may never come.

Today society is spilt into two groups. Mobian's and Vampires. Most fear vampires and most vampires hate Mobians. But your past constantly keeps you struggling as to whether deciding which group is 'good' and which group is 'bad'. However a certain black figure has always lurked in your mind, giving you hope that these two groups may one day interact and be seen as one. (This is a Shadow x Reader)

Y/N is a new transfer agent from S.H.I.E.L.D., reassigned to G.U.N. after years of working solo. Her record was nearly spotless-until the day she lost control. In a moment of desperation, she used a forbidden form of water manipulation: controlling the blood in someone else's body, bending it to her will. It was a line that should never have been crossed. Given one last chance to redeem herself, Y/N is sent to G.U.N. and assigned a partner-a shock in itself. An even bigger shock? Her partner is the base's top operative: Shadow the Hedgehog. Thrown into a tightly knit, high-pressure system, Y/N must learn to trust, adapt, and master her powers before they consume her. But as missions grow riskier and tensions rise, one question looms: will she forge a bond with Shadow and keep her promise never to cross the line again... or will the lure of chaos pull her back into the darkness, leaving everyone running for their lives? This story draws inspiration from 'love like war' by @maispam, the ATLA/LOK franchise and the Zodiac Academy book series. I don't own anything im just having fun. we need more shadow x oc/reader fanfics. also I imply Y/N as human but if that irks you be creative and make Y/N a hedgehog. I don't really go into the human anatomy in this story lol so it should be easy enough to use your wild imagination :)

You had spark. A fire, roaring and crackling and untameable. Passion. A love for all things science and nerdy, freakishly good at coding and technology from a young age. You went through a lot of different phases, like most kids; wanting to be a video game designer to computer engineer to software architect. You're most ambitious dream was to become a high ranking cybersecurity specialist. Maybe work for the government one day, make a difference. Change the world. Leave a mark, a good one. Your mark. Oh, how sweet and naïve you were. That spark was crushed and stomped into a capitalist-shaped curb, pushed aside until what was left was a perfect little cog to fit into a machine. You work at a grocery store, the customer service industry a cruelty that destroys all hope for humanity, at least it did for you. Years of misuse, abuse from customers and staff alike colding your once warm, beating heart. You took the brunt of whatever crap corporate wanted dealt with, cleaned up whatever mess your incompetent co-workers left behind; be it calling out "sick" last minute to doing stock take incorrectly. It all fell onto you, the managers far to busy to help their supervisor. You were crushed, utterly and completely, and it was only a matter of time until you gave out. "Soo, come here often?" It's awkward. It's clumsy. But at least it's something. Shadow stares back, ruby eyes unblinking and boring into your own. His muzzle pulls back, scrunching at the bridge of his nose as he regards the absurdity of what you just asked.
