✨It’s nearly time for the event! ✨ We hope to see you there!

There’s a tenrec wondering outside near Sticks’s bunker. That’s easily grounds for being chased around aggressively with Sticks’s boomerang or perhaps a large stick, but there’s just one issue: the tenrec is drop-dead gorgeous.

Basically, it's an AU where Surge and Kit replace Sonic and Tails from the beginning of canon. HOWEVER, they are still working for, and given their powers by Starline, who is a former understudy of Eggman, as part of his years-long master plan. It's basically Operation Remaster from canon, except he made them to manipulate a prophecy about Sonic and Tails saving the world, who Knuckles believes and Tikal eventually confirms Surge and Kit are not.

Naturally, canon diverges in places, until eventually during SA2 they find out the truth, seemingly stop Starline once and for all and become real heroes from then on out, either getting adopted by Vanilla or finding Surge's real family.

Then IDW rolls around and Starline returns, along with the Metal Virus which Surge and Kit are immune to, resulting in lots of angst. Starline is a loose cannon for that arc, taking pride in Surge and Kit's shock and grief, until he finally decides to stop trolling and come up with another plan. After that, Imposter Syndrome has Starline reveal he had Sonic and Tails in cold storage, and is basically getting them to be his minions by screaming "IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE YOU!" down their throats.

I also have ideas for a Boom and movie version of the AU, the former of course being the home of the crackship that is slowly consuming me: Surge x Sticks.

There is love, angst and drama.
