Shadow the Hedgehog has finally found a sense of peace, even if it's in a cheap, run-down apartment on the outskirts of Station Square. That peace is shattered when a teenage look-alike shows up at his door, claiming to be his clone from the future. Skeptical and unwilling to entertain the idea, Shadow dismisses the teen's story. But when an old enemy reemerges, Shadow starts to realize there might be some truth to the stranger's claims. Forced out of his isolation, Shadow reluctantly teams up with Sonic, Rouge, Silver, and-much to his annoyance-Blaze to confront this looming threat and protect their future. Along the way, Shadow begins to uncover startling truths about the so-called clone, revelations that turn his world completely upside down.

From weapon to warrior to reluctant hero, Shadow the Hedgehog thought he had finally outrun his demons. The Ultimate Lifeform who once grappled with cosmic threats and his own existence now faced a different kind of challenge: normalcy. Trading chaos emeralds for coffee dates, he built something he never thought possible - a future filled with love, laughter, and the promise of forever with the one who saw past his scars. But destiny has a cruel sense of humor. The very blood that makes him extraordinary now betrays him, as Black Doom's sinister return awakens the dormant alien DNA coursing through his veins. With each passing day, the carefully constructed walls of his peaceful life crack and splinter. The darkness he once conquered whispers seductive promises of power, threatening to drag him back to the solitary existence he knew before. Now Shadow stands at a crossroads, caught between the warmth of love and the cold embrace of his heritage. As the shadow of Black Doom looms ever larger, he must face his greatest fear: that the very power that makes him unique could destroy everything - and everyone - he has grown to cherish. Takes place a few years after the last chapter of "Crossfire" (not the epilogue). I would love it if you all read that first, but it is not needed to understand this story :)

A collection of short stories and one shots that will include (but aren't limited to) the OCs from Crossfire. The stories vary from small family moments to multi-chapter scenes (but trying to keep it no more than 3 chapters per short story). For the most part, stories will be limited to one chapter. If the story will have multiple chapters, I will let you know by marking it with Part 1/2 etc. Pairings/OCs in this book: - Shadow x Blaze - Sonic x Amy - Knuckles x Rouge - Silver x Whisper - Tails x Cosmo - Shade the Hedgehog (OC Shadow's Son) - Maria the Cat (OC Shadow's Daughter) - Comet the Hedgehog (OC Sonic's Son - not my OC) - Ruby Rose Hedgehog (OC Sonic's Daughter - not my OC) - Lord X (OC - not my OC) - Freedom Planet Characters
