    Summary

    Shadow is livid when G.U.N. sends him on a trivial mission to oversee the delivery of a package across the country, viewing it as a waste of his time and talent. However, that isn’t even the worst part of it— Sonic of all people is the assigned driver for their little road trip.

    Though Shadow is determined to prevent things from getting too friendly, the more time they spend stuck together, the more obvious it becomes that Sonic is concealing something. He acts strangely when the sun goes down, hiding away and speaking in a husky, deep voice, and as Shadow’s curiosity grows, it is only a matter of time before he discovers Sonic’s midnight secret.

    Summary

    In the high-stakes races of the Crossworlds championships, Sonic's hidden burnout leads to a devastating fight where he crashes and burns in more ways than one. Shadow is left wishing to take back his final words and grapples with the guilt of wondering if it was all his fault.

    Note that there is character death but not graphic depictions of death or violence. This work strongly centers on the emotional side of burnout, grief, regret, and reflections from beyond death.

    Summary

    Sonic was a star, the brightest light that shone among many others. He was a constant in the night sky, always there to grant the world's truest wish. As the sun and moon rose and fell he worked hard to ensure everyone had their freedom. If this star pushed himself any further he'd soon burn out. He continued anyway, shining brighter

    Stars shine brighter before their death. Yet Sonic was already considered the brightest star by many, his light always able to vanquish the dark. But this time it wouldn't be enough. The End was here yet he refused to give up, not when he had others counting on him. Consumed by darkness, corruption bit at the edge of his mind and he knew what he had to do. Despite the warnings, he gave his light 'til no more was left to give. Shining brighter 'til a supernova occurred, the death of a star

    With the death of a star a new one may form, familiarity replaced by uncertainty. Sonic used to be a star, or so he's heard, so why does he find himself lost in the sky, unable to name a single star? He was no longer a bright shining star, but maybe someday he'd find himself among the stars of the sky once again

    (A star dies, a new one is born)

    Summary

    Back on Mobius, the rules are simple: if you are not truly loved, your longing for connection will lead to a fatal disease wherein flowers blossom in your lungs, petals coming out in every cough. And ten years is a long, long time to go without love.

    (or, Sonic is suffering from late-stage hanahaki when the government finds him. This complicates things.)
