Summary
“Forgive me, Sonic – Your Majesty. The spell I summoned you with... It only works one-way.” Hanging her head in shame, Merlina grips the flower Sonic gave her more tightly. Her unspoken admission that she only intended to use Sonic to get Excalibur’s scabbard, without any thought put into where he remained afterward, is loud and clear in the words she doesn’t speak.
“It’s still Sonic,” Sonic corrects her gently. “And don’t sweat it, Merlina, I’m sure there are other ways for me to go back, right?”
~
Trapped in the world of Arthurian legends and named the true King Arthur, Sonic suddenly has to deal with everyone looking up to him as their new ruler.
Can Sonic return home? Is there any truth to what Merlina foresaw about the demise of the Round Table and her world? And, can Sonic learn to navigate through a court worth of people who unlearned to think for themselves, especially when one of them starts eliciting new, foreign feelings in him and is haunted by his own demons?
A story exploring what it means for Sonic to be a free-spirited, adventure-loving guy stuck in the role of a king.

Summary
“The food on the ARK is okay, but I really miss the cooking on Earth. Before I got sick, I went with my family to Spagonia. The food there was amazing! Have you found a favourite food? All I’ve ever seen you have is coffee.”
- Maria Robotnik to Shadow, Sonic X Shadow GenerationsDuring quieter times, Shadow makes plans to visit Spagonia, wishing to experience the cooking Maria swore by when he met her in White Space in an attempt to get to know her life on Earth better. (Un-)Fortunately, Sonic has the time show him around the place, which turns out to be a bigger help than Shadow would've ever thought. Now if only that didn't also make it harder for the hybrid to keep up his prickly walls that he's set up ever since that one fateful encounter with Sonic on the lily field...
Perhaps Sonic has been right all along and he should be more honest with himself.
As Shadow struggles, he quickly discovers that Sonic is hiding some secrets of his own.

Summary
"Whatever. As long as he's silent and pretends like he doesn't exist."
Rouge's lips pursed as she looked away, looking awfully guilty all of a sudden.
He narrowed his eyes in suspicion, "What?"
Rouge stretched her arms out on the table, tapping her fingers awkwardly, "Well... I don't think he's the silent type if I'm being honest."
"You got me a talkative bodyguard? Are you serious?"
~~~
In light of recent online threats, Rouge insists on getting Shadow a bodyguard.
Sonic is just happy to finally get a fresh start in life.

Summary
When you look someone in the eyes, you can see their soul, they say. This is not the case for Blank. She doesn't need to look at you to know exactly how you feel. And sometimes Blank wished this was where her ability ended.
She had been running. Running away, hiding, blending in perfectly. She could pretend to be normal. To be 'a person' as one says. But is this a life worth living? Meeting a blue Hedgehog offers her a different kind of life. But she has to be careful. Or history will repeat itself.

Summary
Shadow thought wishes were for children and blue idiots who didn't know when to give up. He never thought one would give him the opportunity to heal a decades old wound and maybe, just maybe, the courage to open his heart.

Summary
What does it take to bring down a hero? A single wrong step, apparently. What does it take to build one back up? That Shadow does not know, yet.
