After falling for Jet the Hawk, Sonic thought he'd found someone who truly cared. But love quickly twisted into manipulation, isolation, and abuse. Convinced his friends abandoned him, Sonic disappears-only to be found months later, broken, brainwashed, and addicted. As his new friends Nyx and Rafa try to help, and Shadow refuses to give up on him, Sonic is faced with a terrifying question: Can he escape the trauma Jet carved into him? Or is he too far gone to heal? ⚠️ TW: abuse (physical, emotional, sexual), self-harm, drug use, PTSD, eating disorder, manipulation, trauma recovery Idea from @SonicLoverUwU (Through The Darkness)

Previously Suffering in silence Sonic the Hedgehog has always been seen as unstoppable - the fast-talking hero, the one who never quits. But when the battles go quiet and the world stops needing saving, Sonic is left alone with the one enemy he can't outrun: his own mind. With thirty days left on a silent countdown he keeps to himself, Sonic begins drifting further into darkness - until a cold, familiar presence starts pulling him back. Shadow the Hedgehog, haunted by his own ghosts, sees through Sonic's smile and steps in when no one else does. As the days tick by, Shadow and Sonic grow closer, building something real between the pain and healing. But love isn't a magic fix, and healing isn't a straight line. And when the countdown reaches zero, everything changes. Title and cover change This is a slow-burn, emotional journey through trauma, survival, love, and what it means to be truly seen. It's about scars - the ones you carry on your body and the ones you hide in your heart - and how connection, though fragile, can be the strongest thing in the world. TW: Depression, self-harm, suicide ideation. Hopeful ending.

His friends, his life, his story. Might all be in danger. A Sonadow story with much tension and hard work put into it, there is smut, lemon, gore and more. Please do not read if you get triggered by just these sorts of topics.

Two experiments were conducted to serve Maria Robotnik, but their stay on the ark was far from good. Both wanted to escape Earth along with Maria. G.U.N saw these experiments as a threat and raided the Ark and shut this down. They forgot about each other and met with no recollection of who they are. But, shadow somehow has strong feelings for Sonic and doesn't know how to express this. Will he restore his past with Sonic and remember their time at the Ark? Tw: Gore, language, and other mature stuff Side note: my writing from the beginning may be very immature and childish but I swear I got better as it goes on, just trust the process guys and don't give up reading TvT ♡Ranking I have received♡ #1 sonicxshadow

"You either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain," these words fall out as he smirked. ------ It has been years ever since Mephiles disappeared and never showed up again. People thought he was gone for good, yet a fragment that reeks energy of that familiar sphere was found and lies in G.U.N. headquarters for now. Shadow, of course, was summoned for the purpose of getting things straight. But Shadow himself as a contributor of Mephiles' escape, could not help much either, as he had no relevant information. After weeks of futile mission to find reasons for the appearance of what seems to be Mephiles's possessions, G.U.N. decided to seek reinforcement from Tails. As the evaluation is in progress, Shadow was sent to collect the shattered pieces of the Scepter of Darkness. However, this time is different, which came to his surprise that G.U.N. approved Sonic's volunteer to join the classified mission. Companions, friends, perhaps frenemies, Shadow couldn't describe their relationship. It felt weird to have someone once again, shine their way into his life like... what Maria used to. Personally, he thinks its delightful. Unconsciously, he cherished Sonic's charisma. Earnestly, he protected Sonic's bright character. He will not once again lost what he had lost. But somehow, it seems that what he wanted to protect has already long gone. ----- "Looks like you're the naïve one," Sonic gave a small throw of the scepter and catched it midair, "to think I would really care about anything, anyone," he looked downwards at the dark hedgehog that looked at him unbelievably, "awww boohoo, I used to haha, really I do," He tilted up Shadow's chin with the scepter, gave a cold stare at the blood-covered hedgehog with half-closed eyelids, "but now I don't give a shit anymore, everyone could just go and fuck themselves." Attention: slow story, might make you feel bad (someone says they feel not really good after reading on AO3).
