in the last part I mentioned I would go into their dynamic so here I go! so usually Sonic is the one who initiates their interactions because Shadow kinda avoids him and his friends. aannnd Sonic’s kind of a menace sooo… unsurprisingly a lot of their interactions end in a scuffle of some sort. after 2 years, though, they both know it’s fairly lighthearted so they’ll sometimes race each other for fun or occasionally team up against Eggman when things get a little too tough. also important to mention that their interactions are few and far between; they don’t see each other all that often

-

anyway, just a few important things: as I mentioned before, there’s a 2 year time jump and in that gap is where Shadow meets Rouge. she was able to get him out of his shell a little and get them to trust her. she eventually became something of an older sister-figure to Shadow (which he would never admit). naturally, when Rouge found out Shadow was living alone in a cave like some sort of animal, she was not bouta let them continue living like that (so in conclusion: roommates). oh yeah, Rouge has a house lmao which I didn’t draw smh. also Rouge didn’t have any big reason for moving to the village; just a jewel thief wanting someplace to call home

another short note: Shadow’s backstory is a bit different. since Boom (at least to my knowledge) doesn’t have any humans aside from Eggman, I’ve decided that the Ark stuff didn’t happen since this is a different universe. Shadow doesn’t really have as brooding of a backstory as before: just an extremely isolated teenager with some really good combat and survival skills. His backstory isn’t really relevant to the story (hence why it’s so vague), but feel free to theorize how he got these skills and ridiculously annoying inferiority complex. ALSO he’s mortal in this story, still has powers (which will be explained much later), and he doesn’t rely on inhibitors. so basically the rings are just a fashion choice in this universe

at this point you might be wondering what happened with team Sonic. so after their last confrontation, Shadow tries his best to avoid them because Sonic literally stunned him. like they deadass didn’t even know how to respond so they avoid confronting the issue. he still interacts with him though, but I’ll get into that more in the next part

as for how the gang feels about Rouge: she cool. they’re on pretty good terms and are grateful she kinda “brought Shadow to the light” a little bit. he’s still brooding, doesn’t quite get socials queues, and needlessly violent sometimes, but it’s certainly an improvement compared to how ruthless they were before

-

Quick rundown on what this AU is real quick: so basically this is set 2 years in the future after the end of season 2, Shadow eventually becomes a part of team Sonic, and Rouge and Blaze exist in this universe. it also might be important to mention there’s not really an overarching plot, just shenanigans

There are a few important events though, but I have more detailed explanations of those in the parts themselves

Oh yeah, did I forget to mention this is basically a sonadow fic? oops. so yeah if that’s not your cup of tea here’s your warning. also very much slow burn, pining, mutual pining, the works (honorable mention background blazamy)

-

This is kind of a comic but also not? Some are fully fledged comics with dialogue and panels, some are just drawings/sketchpages

So the parts just put them in chronological order, you don’t have to read them in any particular order if you don’t want to

Last thing: if y’all end up having any questions throughout, feel free to send it to me in my ask box! I’ll try to get to it as soon as I can!

All asks are under #AUasks btw
