Summary
Shadow the Hedgehog is 1000 years old and is still haunted by the memory of Sonic the Hedgehog. Mainly in the form of how he is used in the religion, Chaostisism. Shadow in his advanced age is more through with life than ever before, but life isn’t done with him.
Silver is on old man babysitting duty. Shadow doesn’t know the value of his own soul, but that’s information for Silver to know and Shadow to find out.
The new hero, Ze is about to get caught up in these two’s shenanigans and have his whole world view rocked.
Note: Changed dialogue for Tay in chapter 4. Instead of droughts they have been worried about dangerous storms.

Summary
He needs to take his rings off. This will only be possible if he uses all of his power. This is necessary for his decision. This is indispensable. This IS the right decision. Then with all his might he starts pushing.
"More. More. Come on. Move, you stupid machine!" Thank Chaos it works. But he was not done.
Not. At. All.
This was not enough and he was running out of time. Slowly he felt the metal getting hotter under his hands. "Just a little bit more" Then it was done. The distance should be enough but Shadow decided only his death can stop him from pushing Hell away from earth.And then it happened. Shadow closed his eyes and thought about Maria. How happy he was with her. She taught him so much. He never doubted his decision.
This is the right thing to do.
For Earth.
For him.
For Maria.
The last thing he heard was a big boom. After that his vision went black. Finally. Reunited with her. But...wait...there is something wrong. Why...can he feel something? Is this...dirt? Warmth? He tried to...open his eyes and he could. The stars appeared in front of him. "Maria?" A sharp pain on his side."Why am I...alive?"

Summary
Sonic shows up at Shadow's door during a thunderstorm... again. Burned out, too quiet, not quite himself. Shadow lets him in, but when Sonic asks to kiss him after an open-hearted conversation, Shadow laughs. Because, of course, Sonic is joking. He has to be.
...
Or, Sonic is tired, Shadow is guarded, and things get messy.

Practice Makes Imperfect by Arkturmists

Summary
Practice, precision, and poise. That was how Shadow was taught. That was the ballet dancer’s world. There was no room for error, no slip-ups or mistakes in his performances. He’s performed on world-renowned stages, been in competitions around the world for his entire life. Ballet was Shadow’s passion, and there was only room for one thing: absolute perfection. But recently, he’s found himself stumbling across his studio’s floor, unable to finish his warm-ups, let alone his routine.
Enter Sonic, a famous ice dancer that has been tasked with helping Shadow get back on track, and to finish his routine before his next performance in three months. Sonic is eager to accept the challenge, but Shadow is reluctant to accept the help. Perhaps Sonic was the breath of fresh air Shadow never knew he needed.

Trigger Warning: Bullying (insults/violence), lightly implied parental neglect and/or abuse, heavily implied mental manipulation (Gerald has manipulated Shadow's memories which is why he's so angry and vengeful)
AU by imbasicallyblue1 on Tumblr (I don't think the AU has a name yet, but it's basically if Shadow had found Tails instead of Sonic) -

Summary
Tom picked up his plate and made his way to the living room, the sandwich in his mouth just long enough to take a bite before he let it drop back onto the plate.
“Hey, Ozzy, you ready for some Holiday Wars?” he grinned, rounding the corner and…
And Ozzy was sitting on the floor, nosing a limp, dark lump on the couch. A dark lump lying on his stomach with black quills, red highlights, and charred metal shoes. Shadow shifted, turning his head just enough to stare Tom in the face with a piercingly red eye.
Tom was frozen. He couldn’t breathe. Couldn’t move. Couldn’t look away.
Then Shadow shifted again, tucking his face down into the couch cushion.----
Or, Shadow shows up unannounced, and everybody has to deal with it. Heaven knows they can’t turn him over to GUN. So they’ll just have to make do. -

Summary
Gerald Robotnik is the one who discovered the husk. He named it Sonic after it proved useful to Project Shadow. He sent it to Earth to buy himself more time, only to lose Sonic in the end.
Maria Robotnik knew she was going to be close friends with Sonic from the moment they first met. This closeness caused her sickness to flare when Sonic died. Gerald saved her by erasing her memories, and she only remembers Sonic when her dying breath leaves her.
Maria is the person Shadow was made for. She is his sister, and he loves her dearly. He also loves Sonic. He loves them both so much that Gerald is forced to erase his memory, too, when Maria's illness and Sonic's death nearly causes him to go berserk.
Abraham has never been fond of the aliens on the ARK, but he was friends with Sonic, mainly because the hedgehog never quit trying. Abraham is also the only one permitted to keep his memories of Sonic, driving yet another wedge between him and the others.
Sonic wakes up on Christmas Island with the company of the chao and no memories to guide him.

Summary
Shadow podría decir que alguna vez poseyó un sentido de moralidad poco tambaleante, pero no lo suficientemente fuerte. Él no era un santo. Era un demonio. Muchos se habían encargado de recordárselo día y noche.
Por ello, solo bastó un beso para pecar.

O las pasiones de Shadow se desbordan cuando Sonic está herido.

Summary
“I’m right here!” His hand released to keep the tension, gloved finger coming up to pound on his chest, right above where the golden hedgehog clenched it in his shaking fist.
Shadow tapped, to show him exactly where his own heart pounded, simply begging for it to be torn out, cast away.****
Or it's the moon scene from Sonic 3 with a deep dive into Shadow's Character, because I watched it and realized Shadow tells Sonic exactly how he wants to die.
