    Summary

    When Sonic messages, it's usually one of two things. Either he's bored and deciding to make it Shadow's problem, or he's updating the other on an Eggman attack, as if Shadow doesn't already know the instant the Doctor decides to make an appearance. So when his phone starts incessantly beeping with message notifications, Shadow lets out a long-suffering groan, digging it out of his quills and bookmarking the page of the novel he had been so happily reading.
    ---------------------------------------

    or
    When Tails falls ill, Shadow must reacquaint himself with being a caretaker. While taking care of the sick fox, he ends up trying to work through his confusing emotions regarding his place in their group and his relationship with Sonic.

    Summary

    After gifting Shadow his den so he has somewhere safe to stay while on the run, Sonic promises to keep Shadow’s fugitive identity and their growing friendship a secret in order to protect him.

    Meanwhile, the Wachowski's under strict orders from G.U.N. to report any sightings of Shadow's whereabouts, and are clueless to Sonic’s escapades with their enemy. But, his plan to keep both sides of his life separate were dashed when Tails found out about Shadow and Sonic's relationship by himself, and now it’s only a matter of time before the rest of the family catch on, too.

    Sonic is caught between his loyalty to Shadow and his duty to protect the family who saved him. He’s faced with the decision to betray Shadow's trust by revealing that his secret is compromised and lose what they have forever, or jeopardise Tom and Maddie’s safety by staying silent and intentionally deceiving G.U.N., risking everything they've built.

    All Sonic has to do is maintain the balance without tipping the scales over the other, which shouldn't be an issue so long as he can keep his (probably, maybe, definitely romantic) feelings for Shadow under wraps.

    What's the worst that can happen?

    [now with an epilogue!]

    Summary

    "What are you thinking about?" Jon asks, making that concentrated face that means he's being careful not to thread the needle of compulsion through his words.

    Martin bends over him again, kissing his shoulder through his soft cotton shirt. He feels Jon's head turn; feels his soft little sigh against his temple. He wants to feel it again.

    "You," he whispers, pressing another kiss to his shoulder. "This." He tilts his face to Jon's neck, tonguing at his skin. "Always this."

    or: Sweet Caroline, sourdough, and a dance in two parts.

This year, he’s nearly resigned himself to the worst trip he’s ever been on, surrounded by people he couldn’t care less about.

    Then he meets Yugi, and decides to make his own fun.
