    Summary

    "No, but really, man. We can call it quits whenever. I don't wanna, like, make this a thing if you just wanted to kinda one 'n done it."

    He stares at the tiny specks of light in the green-blue haze. The next line is shaky, unsure. The star comes out uneven and he swipes at it. He covers it with his palm. He breathes in sharper than he means to and Sonic takes up the roof of his mouth, musk-warm, sharp, sharp, shar—

    "It's fine."

    Summary

    As Shadow continues to isolate himself, Sonic can’t help but grow worried about his rival/buddy/FWB/whatever-the-hell-they-are.
    Soon enough he realizes that the problem plaguing Shadow is much bigger than Sonic expected — and it has eleven tentacles.

    Summary

    "You're—strong." The word comes out strained, like Shadow has trouble paying him a compliment even while he's out of it. "They wanted it to be you."

    Sonic's eyebrows rise incredulously—but before he can even begin to ask who they are, Shadow continues.

    "You're the only one who can make me whole again."

    What. The. Fuck.

    or: Turns out Shadow losing his connection to the Black Arms hive mind has some pretty big drawbacks—or upsides, depending on who you ask.

    Summary

    Shadow stands abruptly. Even though his meal is only half finished, he opens the sack of coins hanging from his belt and tosses a few onto the table. "You're coming with us."

    "Are—" Sonic visibly brightens, only to immediately attempt to hide that he did. "I mean, are you sure? I meant it when I said I can't pay for passage."

    "That's fine," Shadow says as he reties the string of his coin pouch. That done, he takes his flintlock pistol from its holster, thumbs back the hammer, and aims it squarely at Sonic's head. "I'm sure we can find somebody else to pay for you."

    or: Captain Shadow takes a hostage—one with his own reasons for being at sea.

    Summary

    An alert flashes in the corner of Metal's vision: liquid is seeping into the seams between his metal plating.

    He studies Sonic in thermal vision again, then flips over to his normal camera. Looks at where Sonic is sitting atop him. Zooms in.

    ...Oh. Not a fever, then—at least, not a normal one.

    Sonic grinds himself downwards, smearing a mess of slick over Metal's thigh. "You know—" He laughs, the sound more than a little hysterical. "I was on my way to Tails so he could find an antidote, but—"

    Belatedly, Metal's instincts kick back in. He bucks upwards, trying to get Sonic off him—but all it gets him is a moan and Sonic grinding down against him once more.

    Sonic huffs and leans forward so they're eye to eye. "Since you're so fucking happy to get physical," he says, "I guess I'll just take care of this the old fashioned way."
