A Breath of Sunshine by tarotaron

Relationships: Sonic/Shadow, background Knuckles/Rouge

Extra Info: Sonic Prime Sonadow, Sonic has some trauma, Shadow helps with said trauma, cute confessions, figuring out feelings

Super Basic Summary: After the events of Sonic Prime, Sonic is having trouble dealing with everything that has transpired, especially when he doesn’t know if his shatterverse friends are truly safe or not. A panic attack later, Shadow somehow ends up being a source of comfort. They both grow to realize unusual feelings.

My opinion: IT WAS SUPER CUTE. Idk if I’m just emotional but I was sobbing a whole bunch throughout this fic. The depictions after trauma felt realistic and the comforting was super cute. Their realizations were as well. Definitley a great fic and super well written too :’)

The Long Haul by Jujus_Island

Relationships: Sonic/Shadow

Extra Info: Secret Relationship, trying to be inconspicuous but failing miserably, cute interactions between all characters!

Super basic summary!!: Sonic and Shadow have been dating for a bit, yet they haven’t told anyone. Sonic and friends have a yearly camping trip, and this year Sonic invites his boyfriend so that he can begin connecting with his closest friends.

My opinion: SO CUTE This story was so well written and the moments between Sonic and Shadow were very sweet. It was a shorter fic but the author managed to fit in cute scenes between the different characters, not just Sonic and Shadow, so that the connections all felt more realistic! Really good overall
