Sonic missed two years of his life, and Shadow takes him into his home. One way or another, his mind forces him to cope in unimaginable ways. (this story includes age regression eventually, it's not centric but this story is mainly about recovery) 

Or, Eggman's war ended.Two years lost in a coma,Sonic wakes to find his friends have moved on, his body patched together, and his speed forbidden. Shadow offers him a place to stay-not out of kindness, but something harder to name. Between medical checkups, quiet mornings, and questions he doesn't want to answer, Sonic has to relearn how to live in a world that doesn't need its hero anymore.

Forbidden by sshadowslove

When Shadow gets injured from one of his and Sonic's infamous fights and is left bed bound, Sonic feels pure guilt and goes to apologise to him. Sonic just can't help but stay away from Shadow and visits become more regular, their bond gets closer and feelings become more clear between the two... ⚠️ i wrote this story when i was a new fan of the Sonic franchise, story doesn't really make sense as Shadow should be able to heal but lets just ignore that🥰

ECLIPSE : The False One (2) (A Sonic Fanfic) by Roamerdan

Second book of the series ECLIPSE. If you haven't, go read the first one While peace reigns over the HQ and old enemies turn into allies, a shadow lingers in silence. Deep within his reconstructed frame, Metal Aeon awakens a hidden directive-a final protocol left from the past. Embedded in his core: a USB key, holding a digital echo of Eggman's former self, untouched by guilt or redemption. His mission? Break Eggman. Resurrect the old mind. Unleash the legacy of war. Redemption was only the beginning. Now comes the real test- of forgiveness. Of identity. Of legacy. And for Aether and Aeon... of what it truly means to face the ultimate soldier. I don't own any of the Sega characters and Sonic franchise. For the cover.

The Light In The Dark by psycho_tails

This is a Sonadow AU where Shadow is an alien from a different universe. He finds Mobius and tries to become the most powerful... but without anyone noticing him. He is trying to become one of them. Over time, he figures out that Sonic is the quote on quote "ultimate lifeform" on Mobius. He tries to become acquaintances with Sonic so he can learn their culture... as things take a turn. (These characters are seen as young adults. The only child depicted in this story is Tails. So, for whoever may be thinking, I am sexualizing minors. You're wrong. I also will say that this book is heavily emotional and has very graphic scenes. So I advise whoever reads this as well to be very open-minded and aware of the triggers I've listened down.) Trigger Warnings: -Self-Harm -Mental illness -Self Sacrificing -Murder -Graphic scenes (Blood/Gore) -Rape -Foul Language -Suicide - Loss of friends/family -Depression [Updated book cover: March 28th, 2025]

Amy's health struggle by sweetcarolina244

After a series of intense battles, Amy begins to quietly suffer the effects of burnout, stress, and overexertion mentally and physically. Her usual spark starts to dim as she secretly pushes herself too hard, eating less, sleeping less, and distancing herself from her friends. Though she insists she's fine, her declining health becomes impossible to hide. The team begins to worry especially Sonic, who notices every crack she tries to cover. This doesn't really have much plot like my other stories I just wanted to write my own experiences through my favourite characters and mostly just explore the relationships with Amy and the rest of the gang Based on true events Art is not mine! All characters belong to SEGA

Trails of Ice & Shadows [Shadonic] FROZEN AU ❄️ by KakiPotatoes

In an alternate universe, Sonic is the blue hero with supersonic speed and icy powers. He doesn't just run fast: he freezes, creates ice bridges as he passes, and fights to protect his kingdom and keep the elements in balance. Shadow is a spirit who lives in the Enchanted Forest where Sonic has recently settled. He is a solitary immortal being, shrouded in mystery, who watches Sonic from afar. Shadow is attracted to that mix of power and vulnerability, because in Sonic he sees a part of himself: the weight of responsibility, the doubt of being more of a weapon than a hero. Their meeting is inevitable. Both are loners, both carry on their shoulders the weight of a power that isolates them from the world. Can two such opposite forces - Sonic's fast light and Shadow's cold shadow - find a balance? And when the battle is over, will they choose love over loneliness? . . . . . . . Warnings ⚠️ - Shadonic/Sonadow type love story. - Explicit and sexual content between characters. - There will be chapters not suitable for minors, I will put a warning at the beginning of the chapter and emojis 🔞🌶️ in the title to indicate it. For those who are not comfortable with this type of content, please skip the chapter. This will not compromise the plot of the story. - Story with OMEGAVERSE content.

Dark Legacy by notreallyafan15

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 :)

The Death of Sonic The Hedgehog by OwlCookiesB3

Sonic died. Shadow watched him die. It felt so real, so why did Shadow wake up in his room a month before the battle that ended it all? Why is he alive? Why was sonic still smiling like nothing happened? Why does Shadow deserve a second chance?
