The Decade We Missed by sad_badger

Summary
It's been 10 years since Sonic last saw Shadow, and in that decade, life had not been kind. He's stumbling through adulthood with no sense of direction or purpose, crumbling under the existential dread of aging, and to top it off, is suffering through an exhausting divorce process. Just as his whole world seems to be collapsing around him, however, an old friend returns... And might just be the lifeline he didn't realise he needed.
Now Sonic is having to navigate adulthood, heartbreak, grief and whatever these new (or maybe old) feelings are for his ex-rival. The strangest part is that Shadow seems to be the stable, emotionally competent one. What he doesn't know is that shadow is hiding a secret of his own- Ten years of feelings that he thought he'd let go of threatening to return.
This is a future-set Sonadow slow -burn where Sonic and Shadow reconnect after a decade of no contact. A mix of hurt/comfort, slice-of-life, humour, drama, fluff and spice (eventually). Themes include grief, romance, friendship, aging panic, unconditional love/care, and a flipped dynamic- Sonic is the one falling apart, and Shadow is the one who’s already healed.

Summary
There were two big rules at Chaos Security. Don't fight or fuck your clients.
Shadow had been in the line of work for years now and while he had a few incidents with the first, the latter was something he would never consider to be an issue.
That is until an upcoming pop star came along. Sonic was annoying, smug and the complete opposite to his newly assigned bodyguard.
But you know what they say... opposites attract don't they?

Words In The Halls - Inspired Sonadow by blahlablash

Summary
New start. Last Chance. Shadow would rather keep his head low, drown out the hallucinations, and blend in. But when a certain someone refuses to stay out of the picture, hiding begins to feel less like survival, and more like a mistake.
---
This story is purely inspired by the book "Words on Bathroom Walls" by Julia Walton. Specifically the movie. Scenes are re-written to be similar to the movie, just make it Sonadow. Meaning that everyone in the story will not have their powers and such. No fantasy.
Anyway, you should read/watch it whenever you get the chance. (my favorite book/movie ever for some reasons, idk I love it.)

Summary
After a tragic accident, Sonic, only 6 years old, was left to wander the wrecked streets of what was once his home. He was found by Dr. Eggman, who took him in. Although Sonic never really viewed him as a father, they were still family in a way.
Growing up, Sonic would often run away from home and cause trouble in the city, giving him a bad reputation and causing G.U.N. to start hunting him down.Shadow was 8 when G.U.N. invaded the ARK and killed everyone involved with Project Shadow. Maria sent him down to Earth before she was killed, and Shadow was taken in soon after, the commander deciding it a waste to kill him in the end. Shadow’s memories of the event were fuzzy, so over time, he eventually gave up trying to remember, instead focusing on his training alongside Rouge.
Shadow has now been tasked with taking Sonic down and bringing him in for containment. Though, it isn’t as simple as he had thought. Sonic’s speed and strength rival his own, and his actions are erratic, unpredictable.
At first, Sonic seems like nothing more than a complete adrenaline junkie. But as Shadow digs deeper, he starts to see there’s more to Sonic than just reckless energy—layers of complexity he hadn’t expected.
