To Amy - Is Shadow uncomfortable to cuddle with? He looks pretty spiky.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Amy: I mean, we're all kinda spiky (⁀ᗢ⁀) But you are right, Shadow is a bit... extra-spiky. Shadow:(ᓀ ᓀ) Amy: You just have to be careful about how you do it! Watch! Shadow: (•_•)? [Amy holds her side of the blanket in her teeth, then shuffles around Shadow. She makes a point to smooth down their back quills with one hand while lifting the others out of the way so she can place her chin on their shoulder. Then, she takes the blanket from her mouth, grabs the other corner, and wraps both ends in front of them, keeping them low so Rosie can still see the television.] Amy: See? Shadow:(⁄⁄౦⁄‸⁄౦⁄⁄) Amy: Ah-?(//▽//)! I- I'm so sorry! Chaos, Blaze is right. I really have no sense of boundaries. I'm really sorry. I didn't even think about it- I- [Amy goes to shuffle back. Shadow grabs her wrist.] Amy: You... don't mind? [There's a pause. Then, Shadow shakes their head.] Amy: O-oh! Okay! [Amy settles in, slowly snuggling close.] Amy: You're always so warm... [She wraps her arms tighter around Shadow, who she cannot see looks like they are about to combust.]

If anyone wants to ask me any questions about my Sonic aus or anything please feel free. I might not answer all of them bc ✨ spoilers ✨
But I would love questions about like world-building and stuff! And characters!
Here are my Sonic AUs!
Hedgehogs and Privateers - A pirate-centered high fantasy au that focuses on Sonshadamy as its main ship
The Heart of the Ark - An AU where instead of being a bioengineered life-form, Shadow is a highly advanced AI on the Space Colony Ark. Very slow burn Shadamy
To Catch a Hedgehog - A cyberpunk AU centered around Sonadow
Fire and Ice - A no-powers AU where Sonic and Blaze are competitive figure skaters, with a slow-burn romance between the two
Beauty in Rot - A Greek gods AU with Shadow and Amy as Hades and Persephone
Plus whatever AUs I've made up for one-shots that I hope to poke at more later at some point, feel free to ask about those too!

my take on shadamy is that they don't take an interest in each other till they're young adults and it's not rly angsty but neither of them understands their interest in each other so its a lot of: *wheezes* why did he/she look at me??? and excessive heart palpitations for shadow
amy catches on p quickly what's happening but is in denial for a bit bc omgg how could it be?? shadow the mf hedgehog taking an interest in her??? she sees his appeal but is surprised at his interest in her at first. but tbh she just accepts it p early on and goes w the flow until she eventually confronts him to address what's going on. they're good friends by this point
and then she receives the most romantic confession of her life
i also hc that shadow is also a bit of hopeless romantic and does corny shit like throw pebbles at her window. he doesn't mind some grand gestures altho he prefers to be the one doing the gesturing
and all in all their relationship is v fun and chaotic and a feel-good romance + amazing friendship

Submission #96
Ordinarily, Shadow prefers watching action movies. However, he’s also begun enjoying romance and romantic comedies because Amy invited him to watch those with her, and he enjoys when she wraps an arm around him during those movies. Much to his surprise, she also got into the same action movies that he enjoys.
((Completely agree with you about Shadamy and romantic comedies. I’ve got a silly headcanon about it. And I can absolutely imagine her making the first move for cuddling. Just picture Shadow doing the hover hand for the first ten minutes, like, Is this too far? Is it too soon? Can I– and she’s mentally like, Fine! I’ll do it myself! and wraps an arm around him. Adorable.))

The Fanfictioner Ch.4: Script
Tumblr media
Thank you @redsunlight again for the beautiful cover!
For better quality of reading:
Ao3: https://archiveofourown.org/works/23815324/chapters/57221092
Wattpad: https://www.wattpad.com/story/229947691-the-fanfictioner
THANK YOU FOR READING!
.
.
.
.
"This has to be a fucking joke," Sonic slams the script against the table and looks up to his friends. "I am not doing this, I am not getting paid enough."
Today is 'reading script day' Sonic Boom cast is given two weeks to memorize their script before starting to film. At this meeting, the main actors gather in a big room to read the script and get pointers on what the director wants.
"I am so excited!" Knuckles did a small twirl as he sits on his chair and happily starts reading the script again. "This is a dream come true!"
"I am not acting on this fanfic thing!" Sonic says and then looks over at Tails. "Tails, what are my possibilities for getting out of this one?"
"You are on contract Sonic, you can't afford a lawsuit."
"I would be against this but this is the best writing I've seen from this show," Sticks also takes her to sit with a cup of tea in her hand. "It's like the writers actually put effort."
"I have to agree with Sticks, it's cheesy and a bit cringy but it's kinda interesting."
Amy is not speaking. This is probably the first time in which she would have so much screen on an episode. She is barely on half of the script and all of it is bonkers. It read like fanfiction with the usual SonAmyShad tropes. The script starts with Amy running in the forest after she sees Sonic kissing some random girl. Then she bumps into Shadow and then blah blah boring stuff.
Suddenly the conference room slams open, revealing no other than Shadow the Hedgehog himself. Wearing shades and a black leather jacket. Amy wonders how many of those he must have. She still needs to return the one he lent her.
"I am not doing this shit," Shadow says as she sits on his chair and crosses his legs. Slamming the script against the table and almost breaking it in half.
"Great," defeated Sonic sits next to Amy who is still not speaking her mind. "The script is shit and now I am agreeing with Shadow too."
"Do not misunderstand me, I am fine acting on anything as long as the writing is good."
The pink hedgehog is between the two and her mind brings her memories of Shadow acting in 'Forest of Dreams' which is still one of her favorite movies. Amy knows for a fact Shadow can act in a romance film. After all, he is known to be a 'dreamy' actor and even likes a 'prince' ... At least that's what his fangirls say about him.
"But look at this! If they want a good ShadAmy story then they should just read First Im-"
Shadow stops and by this time Amy is looking at him. She could swear she saw a little bit of red on Shadow's cheeks but she concludes that it must be her mind playing tricks since she slept really late yesterday.
"First what?" Amy asks as Shadow thanks Chaos she could not see through his shades because otherwise, she would see the panic in his eyes.
"First, just first," Shadow quickly corrects himself. "They should learn how to read first!"
"What if all say no?" Sonic speaks up, trying to get Amy's attention since she looks to be too busy looking at Shadow. "Hey can't force us to do this if we all say no?"
"But I do want to do this!"
"Knuckles!"
Before everyone could get angrier at Knuckles, Mr. Johnson the Rabbit, the director walks into the meeting room. Following from behind are the show writers and Mia the Hedgehog, Shadow's tiny manager.
The air could be cut with a knife. Shadow is already throwing daggers at everyone with his eyes. They all quietly take their seats and after a few seconds of deadly staring, the director finally speaks up.
"Alright, how much for your to participate in this?"
"No amount of money is gonna make me act on that," Shadow crosses his arms in front of his chest, looking directly at Mr. Johnson. "Besides my contract ends every season ... I won't renew my contract unless you change the horrendous writing."
Everyone wanted to interrupt. Why did everyone's contract be valid until the entire series ends but Shadow's contract was per season? Still, they just let the actor speak his mind.
"Look, ShadAmy is the most popular ship of the moment. If we do this right, do you know what it means?" Mr. Johnson makes a pause. "Your first Ammy award. You have never been nominated for this award, right?"
Shadow rolls his eyes, the thought alone is stupid to him.
"Do you really think I can get nominated? Not with that shitty story."
"It's what the people like! Full of drama!"
"They kiss on the first episode!"
"And we will have a pregnancy trope too!"
Shadow facepalms so hard that he leaves a red mark on his forehead. He doesn't say anything else. He did not want to be disrespectful and he is at the point in which if he continues, he will definitely end up cursing at the old man.
Seeing his frustration, Mia, Shadow's manager, decided to speak for him.
"My client won't accept this role unless the writing changes."
"We have four writers on this, isn't it enough?" Mr. Johnson points at the writers who just waived awkwardly at Mia and Shadow who were bashing their writing.
"No offense to your writers but even Knuckles can write a better love story," Mia says and everyone turns to look at Knuckles who crosses his arms in front of his chest and just shrugs.
"I can, actually."
"I think our biggest problem is the radical change in genre. We are an adventure show, not a romance one," Tails, as always, tries to be the middle man. Looking at both perspectives, it wouldn't be bad to add romance to the show since it will bring more reception but the writers can barely write decent action scenes. He knew that writing romance ... good romance at that, will end in failure.
"I think it's better if we keep the adventure and just throw romantic elements from time to time."
"Shut up Tails, I actually want to see them kiss," Sticks has a devil smile on her face as she looks at Amy from the other side of the room. "Besides, you love dramas as much as I do."
Sticks did have a point. Besides this could help him get Sonic and Amy together if he plays his cards right.
"Mmm, I do love dramas."
"We still haven't heard Amy's opinion," Sonic interrupts and looks at the pink one. He just knew that Amy would be against it, but still wants to hear her opinion. "Amy ... Do you want to kiss Shadow?"
Was that even a question? Amy looks at Shadow who has his stoic, usual face. Although he did not look disgusted at hearing that, Amy just knew that he is thinking the same thing she is.
"Absolutely not. I hate it. I hate ShadAmy and all of it. It's so stressful and I won't act on this unless the writing gets better," Amy feels a heavy weight being lifted off her shoulders. She is not a picky actress, but she would also appreciate not being forced to do scenes she does not want to do. "Just get a better writer, please."
Now it is all up to the director, Mr. Johnson. Of course, it's not like he had much of an option after hearing everyone's opinion.
"Fine," he sighs heavily, taking off his glasses and lying back on his chair. "There goes our deadline."
.
.
.
"They ain't going to meet their deadline. Can they even find a good writer in just two weeks?"
"Whether they do or not, it's not our problem anymore. If they don't, we can just go back to the normal adventure stuff," Sonic says. "Besides we have two extra weeks to relax and chill."
Their meeting ended quickly and the group headed to Meh Burger. Except for Shadow who left in another direction as soon as everyone else exited the building. No one really cared where he went and left him be as always.
It was dead silence, and no one is in the mood to discuss the show further. Whatever would be, it will be.
"Anyways, Tails, how's Shadow's robot friend? Are you done repairing him?" Sonic asks as he takes a sip of his soda. He just wants to move on from the situation and stop hearing 'ShadAmy' this and 'ShadAmy' that. It got annoying.
"It's coming along. Shadow and Amy were able to find the piece I was looking for here. And Shadow went to Star Island to find the other metal I was looking for," Tails makes a short pause and this caught everyone's attention as Tails face began to express concern.
"It's going well but ..."
"But?"
Tails feels everyone's eyes on him. He did not feel sure about telling them the information he knows but the peer pressure started to kick in.
"While working on Omega, I find out some interesting insight about Shadow."
"Which is?" Sticks asks this time. She could care less about Shadow but Tails' nervousness made her believe that the secret Tails is keeping must be worth knowing.
Feeling like he had no other option and that at the end of the day, Shadow was doing nothing wrong, Tails decides to speak up.
"Well, turns out, Shadow actually likes to-"
"Fox hunt."
Tails did not even feel the goosebumps, he knows he is dead. The mere fact that he is still breathing is a miracle. That miracle was that if Shadow wanted to murder him, he would have to do it in front of witnesses.
"Especially foxes who can't keep their mouths shut."
"I- Um-" The fox wanted to apologize but no words would come out of his mouth. Would his friends step in to help him? Why are they so quiet?
"I need to talk to you ... In private," Shadow says, his voice has softened now and is no longer having a threatening aura. However, Tails knew that all of his mannerisms were to lure him into a trap.
"If Tails does not feel comfortable, he does not have to go with you Shadow," Amy interrupts the moment and at the sound of her voice, Shadow rolls his eyes.
"I need to talk to him about Omega and I don't want to do it here because, after those stupid rumors of us dating, I don't want any more paparazzi to take pictures of us interacting."
Tails take a few seconds to relax. He has to think clearly before a fight breaks out. For a fact, Shadow won't hurt him. He knows that would clearly affect his career and second, he has the upper hand. After all, Shadow had ... an interesting hobby. And Tails could blackmail him with that if anything.
"It's alright," Tails says as he stands up from his seat, his burger left untouched. "I'll go talk to Shadow."
.
.
.
"You tell anyone about my search history and I'll tear off one of your tails."
This came out better than Tails had expected. He thought that Shadow might have killed him off by now but instead, he invited him over to his home and gave him a cup of tea. Yes, Shadow is being awfully extreme with his words but he did it in such a manner that Tails did not feel threatened... that much anyways.
"Don't worry, your secret is safe with me," Tails says."I promise I won't ever tell anyone that you are crazy about fanfiction."
Tails see Shadow get bashful at the word 'Fanfiction' and if he was being honest, he is not all innocent. He has had his fair share of reading fanfiction. Nonetheless, he is not as obsessed as Shadow is.
There were still many questions. Why did Omega have information on Shadow's web history? But he assumed that Omega, being the curious robot that he is, was just interested in Shadow's pastime and hacked into the wifi's server. Omega might be a smart robot but he is still not capable to understand 'privacy' May be he should do a few upgrades on the robot once he goes back to his lab.
"I am not crazy about fanfiction, I just-" Shadow makes a pause and thinks for a second. Yes, there is no saving on this one. "Well, maybe just a little."
"There is nothing wrong with that. I am just surprised. You seem to be the type to well ... Make fun of people who read fanfics, like Knuckles."
It's strange to be inside the home of his idol. Well, not really an idol, more like someone he deeply admires. Shadow has been acting since a young age but the reason why he started acting is still a mystery. However, one thing was clear. The reason why he chose to be in 'Sonic Boom' is simply that he is a fan of the show. At least, that's what Tails concluded.
"It's not just that I like fanfics ... Is that ... Well, they help me cope with some stuff and -"
"Hey, you don't have to tell me things that you are not ready to say," seeing his evident discomfort, Tails makes him stop. If Shadow did not want to talk about his past, then he shouldn't be forced to.
 "I am not shaming you for reading fanfics, I am just curious."
"Curios? About what?"
Now Tails is getting to the juicy stuff. He just hopes Shadow did not take offense to his question.
"Since when do you like Amy?"
Shadow immediately shows disgust as he hears 'like' and 'Amy' in the same sentence. That alone told Tails two things. Either he is genuinely disgusted and hates Amy. Or he hates the fact that he likes her and he is lying to himself.
"I don't like the pink hedgehog. I like Amy from the show. Your Amy is annoying," Shadow quickly responds, almost spilling the dark coffee he is drinking.
"You even requested ShadAmy fanfiction."
"And? I think Boom Shadow and Amy have potential. Imagine all the scenarios."
Tails did not see it. But then again, he is not the most romantic-sensitive fox there is. Maybe Shadow, like Knuckles, can see love where he can't. Maybe it's not about the facts ... it's about the potential.
"Anyways, why are you so scared of people finding out that you like to read fanfics?" Tails move on to his next question. "I thought you were the type not to care."
On the other hand, Shadow is about to take a leap of faith. He just hopes it's the right one. He could have thought of anything. Some stupid excuse or dumb lie. But the fox boy is not stupid, he could see right through him. And all Shadow could do is pray to Chaos - Even if he does not believe in it- that Tails is a trustworthy fox, unlike that blue rat he has as his best friend.
"Well ... To be honest ... There is someone ..."
.
.
.
Tails keeps working on Omega. Finally, he is giving him the final touches and by that, he means an update on his lie detector. He is a fascinating robot but his hard drive definitely needed an update. Tails wondered just for how long Omega went around malfunctioning.
"How do you feel Omega? It's been a few long weeks since reparations started," Tails puts his goggles on top of his head as he looks for the wrench in his tool bag. "You must be feeling exhausted."
"I am a robot, I am unable to feel exhaustion."
"Well, then I am sure you are tired of being in my lab all day."
"On the contrary, I feel like I am in a robot spa."
Tails appreciated Omega's nice sense of humor. In a sense, he reminds me of Orbot and Cubot but is more advanced and can actually kill you. He is more of a war robot than an assistant and Tails could tell due to all the weapons and artillery in his inventory.
"Anyways, Omega ... So tell me a bit more about Shadow," Tails says as he uses the wrench to tighten Omega's loose screws. "Unless of course, you don't want to share anything-"
"He eats coffee beans and likes to read funny stories on the web. He something looks up pictures of-"
Knock Knock
"Anyone home?" Amy peaks her head onto Tail's lab. Although Tails' strength is mechanics, he also plays around with chemicals from time to time. Especially after Amy started to bring him precious and rare stones that helped him create better equipment for the team.
"Sally Acorn."
"Oh?"
Tails knew that he had told Amy to come by his lab to give insight on the metal rocks used on Omega, but for her to enter this exact moment ... She is going to start jumping to conclusions.
At first, Amy did not think too much about it. But then she saw all the signs. Tails starts to move his tails, his small ears are twitching. Omega is obnoxious as if he talking about an everyday thing. Thanks to her writing abilities and her way of shipping everything she sees, she can conclude that Tails likes the famous actress, Sally Acorn. It wouldn't be strange, however ... it's his nervousness that makes it strange. Tails wouldn't be so nervous, even more, when it's just a celebrity crush.
It had to be a celebrity crush because from what Amy knows, Tails still likes Zoe.
Now analyzing Omega. Why would Omega say the name Sally Acorn? What were they talking about that correlated to her?
"Think Amy ... Think. What do Tails and Omega have in common that made them say Sally's name? ... Things in common ... Mechanics? No, doesn't make sense Omega would say Sally's name .... Shadow? They must be talking about Shadow. What else would they be talking about? After all, it's Shadow who asked Tails to help him out ... Wait-
"What were you both talking about?" Amy asks as she walks closer to them.
"NOTHING!" Tails screams.
"Shadow likes to look at pictures of Sally Acorn."
After Omega said that so nonchalantly, Tails just looks at him and then back at Amy and her expression let Tails know that he better be preparing for his funeral.
It's going to take a few seconds before Amy could process the information and make conclusions about-
"SHADOW LIKES SALLY ACORN?!!!" Amy screams and Tails prays to Chaos no one else is around to hear her. "THE SALLY ACORN?"
"Shhh, I promised I wouldn't say anything!" The fox quickly runs and hits a button on the wall that makes his lab to completely shut down all the doors. He did not want to take any risks.
"Sorry, I got excited. Sally is a princess!
Amy makes a small twirl as there are hearts in her eyes. So many possibilities ... So many fanfics ideas.
"Poor guy, maybe that's why he is angry all the time."
Tails sees this, Amy's glowing eyes. Full of good intentions that will probably run it Shadow's chance to actually talk to Sally.
"Amy ... don't even think about it."
But it was too late.
"If I help Shadow get with Sally, this can be an excuse to spend more time with him and I can see him how he is in a romantic setting! I can learn so much for my fanfic!"
"Amy!"
Tails' voice interrupted Amy's thoughts, reminding her that she has to act normal.
"Sorry, what?"
"You can't say a word," Tails pleads to her and Amy lightly feels bad for making Tails feel in distress but sometimes she can't help it.
"Please. Only Omega and I know."
"It's fine," she sighs, taking control of her feelings for a second. "I promise I won't say anything. It's just that I am surprised Shadow is capable of ... feelings."
Now the two look at Omega who is the only one who could have answers about the mysterious actor, Shadow the hedgehog. Even the robot finds it a bit amusing that these two were too interested in Shadow's personal life.
"Shadow usually has one-time encounters or dates with other actresses on a secret ... But he has never had romantic feelings for anyone but Sally Acorn."
As Omega says that Amy's mind went completely crazy. This is good for her fanfic. A bad boy who has to try to love other people but fails only for him to fall in love with the person he can't have.
"AAAA THIS IS SO GOOD FOR MY FANFIC! AH! I NEED TO GO HOME AND WRITE!!!!!" Amy's thoughts were going crazy even when she was keeping a 'normal' face.
"Omega," Tails points at Omega, raising his voice a little. "You need to be more secretive about Shadow's life. Shadow trusts you not to say private things about him to others."
There are few beeping sounds, Omega is processing the information. After a few seconds, he speaks.
"My apologies. I do not talk to other beings often. When I do get ... overwhelmed with excitement and happiness."
Both Tails and Amy look at each other and then back at Omega. Not knowing how to feel, they just smile at the robot.
"It's ok buddy, you can come to talk to us whenever you want!"
.
.
.
Sonic swore to never read fanfiction again. Not after he read a smut fanfiction of him that included Tails and Knuckles. There were no tags and no content warning. And it just took a few sentences for him to run to the restroom and throw up in the toilet what he had for lunch and the day before too.
Not wanting to go throw the same pain again, he distanced himself from the fanfic world and his fandom overall. He would just post pictures of himself and food on his social media even though when would want to repost some fanart of him from time to time.
But ever since that fanfic weirdo posted "First Impressions" and now everyone is talking about it. And if he is being honest he is ... a bit curious about it.
Everyone is talking about it. From what he has heard from Knuckles, the story has currently 4 million views. It may not be big numbers but their Island does not even reach the 1 million population. Meaning that everyone on the Island has read First Impressions. Not only that but also other nearby or far away islands.
It's tempting. It really is. Especially after all the 'ShadAmy' merchandise that started to pop out. Unofficial of course. It is no wonder that everyone at the production of Sonic Boom wanted to push the ShadAmy agenda. After all, they could be making bank if they started to sell ShadAmy merch as well.
"I just don't get it," Sonic mutters to himself. "ShadAmy is so bad compared to SonAmy."
It has been a long day and he wants nothing but to sleep. It's been a busy week. He should be resting, next week the shooting of Sonic Boom will start and he is not ready. Physically that is because all this week he has been saving and helping some folks around the island. Sonic is not one to complain, this is his job as a hero but sometimes he just wishes he could sleep for an entire month. He was free time and suddenly Eggman starts to attack. Strangely enough, he never attacks during shooting time, maybe he is low-key a fan of the show himself. Even when a random dude in a costume is playing his part on the show.
Now all of this ShadAmy stuff ... he really needs a break.
When he finally arrives home, he goes to his mailbox to see if anything has arrived. He has recently participated in a casting for a movie and hopes to receive an answer soon.
The blue blur quickly opens his mailbox just to find fan letters and some bills. As he looks at them one by one, he walks inside his hut, closing the door behind him. He is going to throw all of the letters on his table so he could read them in the morning once he wakes up but he noticed a letter that caught his attention.
A black envelope, golden letters, and a wax stamp with a symbol of a crown with an emerald on the center. The symbol of the Acorn family.
To: The hero of the Seven Islands, Sonic the Hedgehog.
From: Sally Acorn, Princess of Acorn Island.
.
.
.
Amy did not know what to do with such juicy information. All she wants to do is go to Shadow and ask him all about it. When did he get feelings? When did he realize he had fallen in love? Does he personally know Princess Acorn?
Type Type Type
The keys on her laptop were used up. Almost impossible to see the letters. It does not matter too much since she has memorized all the keys.
She is almost done with her new chapter of "First Impressions" she just hopes it's good. This chapter did not have much romance. However, this chapter will work as a stepping stone to what's to come. She writes about Shadow and about how he is in love with a faraway princess and Amy, still has feelings for the blue bur.
The pink hedgehog stops for a minute. Was this too personal? Would people suspect? Nah. It should not be a problem. People tend to ship SonAmy and the only one who knows that Shadow likes Sally is her, Tails, and Omega and they don't read fanfiction.
Besides everything can be a coincidence. Right?
Right?
Amy falls into her sofa and puts her laptop on her face out of frustration. This is a good chapter. One that she is proud of but tragically, she feels like she is giving away too much information. Was this right? Trying to be kind to Shadow just to see what kind of information she can use for her fanfic?
She did not know what to do but she knew someone who could help.
Putting the laptop on the table and picking up her phone, she opens the app Xiscord and looks through her contacts. It's not like she has many friends. Mostly she is in SonAmy and now ShadAmy groups, although she doesn't talk much. She just enjoys reading other people's fics and fanarts. There she finds him.
ARoseWithoutThorns#0923: Hey, are u awake?"
Not even a minute passed and he answers immediately.
TheFanfictioner#: "Yeah just watching Breaking Evil and you?"
ARoseWithoutThorns: "I need help with something, like advice."
TheFanfictioner#0619: "Oh, well, I think I can help. What's up?"
With a big sigh, Amy starts typing on her laptop. She hopes that The Fanfictioner can give her some good advice. He may be a little bit dumb but he always knows what to say ... most of the time.
ARoseWithoutThorns#0619: "You see, I have a co-worker and I kinda dislike him. A LOT. But I am trying to get close to him because he reminds me of Shadow and I get inspired to write. I learned something personal and well ... I kinda want to use that for my fic."
After a few seconds, Amy sees that The Fanfictioner was taking a while a reply. The Xiscord only says "Typing" and that made her anxious for some reason.
TheFanfictioner#0619: "So, you are using the guy to write your fic?
ARoseWithoutThorns#0913: "Well ... yes. Is it wrong?"
More time passes between answers. Amy now knew for a fact that The Fanfictioner is most likely saying how she is a bad person and that she shouldn't be taking advantage of people like that. There is a small 'ring' sound on her laptop and she quickly changes tabs to see the message from The Fanfictioner.
TheFanfictioner#0619: "I don't think so? It's not like you doing anything wrong to him. You need personal experiences to write. I think that's something normal writers do. Besides it's not like he is going to know you are using him as an inspiration for Shadow."
Now it's a big relief. Besides its not like she is pretending to be Shadow's friend to get more information. Amy is sure that she has told Shadow multiple times that she hates him. If she is clear with him then there should not be a problem.
ARoseWithoutThorns#0913: "Yeah, you are right. I just overthink everything. Thank you."
TheFanfictioner#0619: "No problem Rose."
ARoseWithoutThorns#0913:"Rose?"
TheFanfictioner#0619: "You are ARoseWithoutThorns, right? I don't want to type all of that everything I refer to you. So Rose for short is better."
Amy did not mind nicknames. Actually, she is fond of them, like when Sonic calls her 'Ames' it is cute but someone using her last name as a nickname is not that appealing to her. Nonetheless, she does not mind as long as The Fanfictioner says it.
Before logging into her fanxfiction.com account to read the new comments on her new chapter, she replied to her online friend.
ARoseWithoutThorns#0913: "You are the one who is "The Fanfictioner", what I am supposed to call you? Fanfic? That's dumb."
TheFanfictioner#0619: "Come on, "The Fanfictioner" sounds cool af."
ARoseWithoutThorns#0913: "Yeah, for an edgy teen. I thought you were 23."
It has been weeks since they started chatting and they got to know a few things about each other. The Fanfictioner is a year older than her, he enjoys writing but mostly reading and reviewing fanfics. His job, where he lives, and all of those things were still unknown. And Amy did not care. Their friendship was based on pure admiration of one another and sharing the same interests. She wouldn't change it for anything.
TheFanfictioner#0619: "DON'T. YOU. DARE. DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT."
ARoseWithoutThorns#0913: "From now on I'll call you ... Mr. Edge Lord"
TheFanfictioner#0619: "I regret meeting you. Goodbye."
ARoseWithoutThorns#0913: "DRAMA KING!!!"
After a few giggles and a little more talk, Amy is finally ready to post her new chapter. She just hopes she won't disappoint her readers. And before going to sleep, Amy logins into her writing account and clicks 'Publish' on fanxfiction.com.
.
.
.
Finally, the day to meet with the writers has arrived. Amy's phone is bombarded with notifications but she keeps it on silent. Everyone is in the meeting room. Tails, Knuckles, Sticks, Shadow, Mr. Jonhson, and the three writers. The only one missing is Sonic.
"It's not like Sonic to be late."
Actually, it is very like him to get late. At least for a few seconds. Due to his speed, he always tends to do things last minute because 'he can get anywhere in a few seconds.'
"We can't waste any time. We need to start recording right away," Mr. Johnson, the director, cues his writers and they start passing out the scripts for this new upcoming episode.
"Fine, but first let's see the script," Shadow says as Amy notices that his manager is not there with him. How strange. He is wearing sunglasses inside the room, very usual of him. However, Amy did not know if Shadow wears them because he sleeps late and he does not want anyone to see the dark circles under his eyes ... or just because he thinks he looks cool with them.
Probably the second option.
"Here it is."
All scripts were given to the actors and after a few minutes of reading, there started to be some concerns looks and questioning. They start to look at each other, trying to see if they were reading the same thing or if this is a prank.
" ... This is ..." Sticks is the first one to say something but before she could finish her sentence, Knuckles interrupts her.
"THIS IS FIRST IMPRESSIONS! THIS IS A FANFIC!"
If Amy could jump off a window right this moment she would. But they were on the first floor and there are no windows in this room. Maybe she is dreaming. Having a terrible, terrible nightmare.
"Yes!" Mr. Jonhson exclaims, smiling from ear to ear. "You said to get a better writer and we are! There is no better ShadAmy writer than the one who started the ShadAmy lore!"
"You got ARoseWithoutThorns to be a writer for Sonic Boom?" Tails asks.
Amy did not know how to feel. Should she feel happy that Tails knows about her fanfic? Or maybe vomit on the ground and pretend to die so they would cancel Sonic Boom forever.
"No, but we are!"
"Wait, wait ... You did not get the writer yet?" Shadow takes off his shades and puts them on the table. There is a different aura around him. Threatening, confident and demanding. "How do you plan to record this fanfic without the writer's permission?"
"That is the best part we don't have to!" the director stands up from his seat and starts to walk around the room. Almost twirling in circles as he explains his plan.
"Look, it's simple. We own all characters, stories and concepts of Sonic Boom. Technically, all fanarts and fanfictions are illegal ... If we wanted we could sue this person for writing with characters that they don't own."
"But they don't profit from their writing," Tails gives his five cents of knowledge about copyright claims. Is not his field of interest, but definitely knew that if the Sonic Boom show wanted, they could totally sue.
"But the website where they post does! So ... if we really wanted we could sue. Even if we don't win that is ok. Do you really think some fanfic writer could afford a lawsuit?"
Amy's mind starts to go crazy. It's probably melting right now and no one is realizing it because they are more concerned about acting for a fanfic story. Fanfic that she wrote. Some fanfic that she had no idea would become 'popular'. Now she is facing the consequences.
"I am surprised Sonic Boom can afford one."
"What are you trying to get with this?" Sticks speaks up as she looks at Knuckles who is already absorbed in the script, reading it in silence.
"Well, the writer has two options. Either they come to write for the Sonic Boom show or ... They can see us at court."
Shadow slams his fists onto the table. The sound makes everyone look at him, even Knuckles. He removes his sunglasses, revealing the dark circle under his eyes. Vermillion's eyes are terrifying and mesmerizing to look at.
"That is fucking evil," Shadow says as he points at the director and the writers who were looking pathetically afraid of the dark hedgehog.
"Look, I don't think you understand. The reason why this story is popular is that someone is writing this out of passion itself with no profit. The moment you start doing something because of money then all that passion goes away. It's not a hobby you do out of love but instead, it's a job you are forced to do."
Amy's heart begins to beat a little bit faster. He looks so confident and strong. He sounds genuine, it's not just something that offends him. It is something he ... Shadow is passionate about. Something he is willing to fight for.
"Also, I fucking hate it when big companies try to profit from individuals that are not harming anyone with the content they create," seeing how scared everyone is of him, he falls back into his chair. He should not be too concerned as long as he is clear that he won't act on this farse.
"I won't act on it unless I know for sure that the writer is ok with writing on the Sonic Boom show."
"Shadow..." Amy could only think of him now. Surprised to see this different ... and very kind side of him. It made her admire him just a tiny little bit more. Maybe he is not so bad after all.
There is a loud BAM coming from the entrance of the room. It is no other than the blue bur. Giving everyone a smile and entering like he owns the place. He has a thing for perfect timing and Amy feels like she is saved again by her hero.
"Well, that's going to have to wait," Sonic says as he walks around the large table. Shadow rolls his eyes in annoyance, to him Sonic has bad timing.
"Pack up everyone we are going on a trip!" He stands behind Amy and places his hands on her shoulders, gaining a small blush from the pink hedgehog. Shadow just huffs in silence without anyone noticing.
"You can't! We have to start recording!" The director screams at Sonic who quickly runs and stands in front of him.
"Section 4, page 26 of our contract says 'All Sonic Boom actors are renowned heroes and therefore, their hero duties come first. All show productivity will come to a pause whenever the heroes are called for duty."
The blue bur reaches behind his quills and pulls a black envelope. Tails want to question his actions but he thought that would be better for another time.
"And yesterday I received a letter from the one and only princess Sally Acorn," he places the letter on the table. From afar, Shadow immediately recognizes Sally's signature. It is her handwriting. For a moment he stops breathing.
"She wants us to escort and serve as bodyguards for an important diplomatic event."
"Does that mean-" Sticks could not even finish her sentence as she is happy at the possibility of exploring a new island.
"Yes," Sonic says. "We are all going to Acorn Island!"
There is another loud sound. This time is coming from Knuckles who slammed his heavy script against the table. His phone is in his hand, and he seems to be extremely worried about what is on it.
"Would everyone shut up? I am trying to read First Impressions' new chapter!
For now, Amy does not have to worry about becoming a writer for the Sonic Boom show.
But she takes a quick look at Shadow. He is good at hiding them. His feelings that is. But he is nervous. He silently taps the floor with his right foot. His arms are crossed and his nose wrinkles every few seconds.
"He is totally in love," Amy thought. "He is in love ... and I can totally use this for my fanfic!"

Tomorrow’s Yesterday
"You know you're going to have to stop this one day, Shadow."
"Maybe... but today is not that day."
His voice came out strained, and his hand squeezed hers tightly as he held it. Amy turned her head to look at his face through the pillars of grass separating them as they lay in the middle of a green hill. He looked just as he did any other day, but she knew this wasn't her Shadow. Her Shadow didn't stare at her with desperate eyes, and sad lines etched in his face. Her Shadow didn't profess his love for her any chance he got, her Shadow didn't have to leave.
"It's dangerous... you can't meet yourself. You could ruin the timeline."
"I know my Rose... just please... can we lay here just for a little while longer?"
Amy moved her vision back and forth between his ruby irises. She hated seeing this Shadow, this broken version of him that tore her heart to shreds. And yet she always gave into his pleading, she could not say no. She knew that even though this was not her current Shadow, it was him in the future. This was his future. So she turned her head and stared at the sky, allowing him this brief moment of peace. One she knew he wanted to last an eternity.
"Chaos... you're beautiful."
She immediately grew hot, and jerked her hand, trying to remove it from his grip. But he held firmly on, his steady red eyes burning into the side of her head. She wanted to escape the intensity of his gaze, the strength of his desire. She wondered for the hundredth time why he chose her. Why did he love her?
"Shadow, please..."
"Don't. Call me like you used to..."
Amy looked over at him, her peridot eyes searching his. She hated when he did this. When he asked her to be someone she wasn’t… or rather wasn’t yet.
"As I told you before... I don't call you this..."
"Maybe not now, but you will."
"My love."
Amy swallowed the large lump that had started to grow in the pit of her throat from the moment he’d looked at her. She didn't know if her inability to say no to him had come from her current Shadow, or the one that seemed to appear whenever she was alone. It had started the day after their first date. She’d seen him watching her from a distance, and whenever she had confronted him about it, he had - in her mind - played dumb. He acted like he wasn’t there, watching her from just out of sight at any chance. She'd started to feel crazy. Or at least she’d thought he was messing with her. Finally, the breakthrough had happened when they’d been eating ice cream in a park. He had slipped up. She caught Shadow trying to shoo away a barking dog, and yet he was also sitting beside her, staring with displeasure at the melting cream in his hand.
She’d made an excuse to go to the bathroom, and had approached the second Shadow, who upon seeing her had quickly disappeared in a flash of yellow. The next time, she'd set a trap, and when he'd been caught, she'd forced it out of him. This Shadow was from the future... from a time where she was no more… a time where she had left him alone.
So she shut her eyes, her willpower to say no dying a bit more every time they met. Every time he said her name. Her lips parted, and she whispered his desire,
His whole body relaxed, and his ruby eyes trembled before closing. They were shut so tight she knew he was holding back tears, something that she was not used to seeing Shadow do. Amy turned and fell on top of him. He let out a gruff groan of surprise, but it didn't take long for his arms to wrap around her. She wanted to hold him, wanted to remove the pain that so obviously lived in his heart. More than one time she had considered breaking up with him in the present... because if they weren't a couple then he wouldn't become this sad. She buried her head in his shoulder. She never could... no she was never brave enough. She wasn't strong enough. Her Shadow was so naïve when it came to love, he had never even said it to her. He still blushed anytime she went to grab his hand, still gruffly pushed her aside in front of their friends. His scowl was more frequent than his smile. But she didn’t mind any of that because when she was with him, she felt complete. She didn't know how to leave him.
"This is unfair... It's cruel." She didn't dare to look at his face as she mumbled the words, knowing that it hurt him just as much as it hurt her.
"I know Rose, believe me... I know."
Amy felt tears steam unabated from her eyes, soaking her cheeks and his fur beneath his jaw. His arms tightened around her, his lifeline, his love... his rose. Oh how it hurt to hold her, the thorns of time and death prickled him. But even if he bled, even if he was scared and even if the thorns pierced through his heart, he would hold her for as long as she allowed. It was cruel, but it was all he had.
"When you do this... I don't know how to face you... you know, the you from this time."
"I'm sorry, I just lov -"
"Don't say it!" She practically screamed, her body tensing and trembling in his arms.
"Not when you have yet to say it now."
She felt him jerk beneath her, she knew she'd hurt him but this time she didn't care.
"That's one of my regrets... I wish I had said it sooner, had married you sooner, had been with you-"
Amy thrust her hands down, and broke through his arms. She glared down at him, diamonds falling and shattering upon his cheeks, salty to his lips. But her eyes were on fire, bright with rage.
"Don't you say that! Don't you regret your life! I may not know the future like you do, I may not have to live life without you like you do, but I know the you from now.
"You are kind without knowing, you stumble through our dates like a puppy with large paws, everything we do is new to you. And I love that about you. I don't care if it takes you a hundred years to say you love me back, I will wait... but I don't want to hear it from you! It won't feel earned, it won't feel special! So. Don’t. You. Dare. Take that away from us… from him."
Amy was breathing heavier now, and her eyes were now shut, she didn't want to see the pain that she knew was in his eyes. But surprisingly, after a few moments of silence, a deep rumble like the rolling of mountain springs rippled through the air. Her eyes snapped open to locate the source, and she nearly cried.
Impossibly, she saw that he was laughing. At first she was frozen in shock, she had never seen Shadow smile so brightly before - not her Shadow nor this one - let alone openly laugh before, and she found the sound contagious and intoxicating. Soon she felt her gut clench, and her lungs hitch, and suddenly she had rolled over next to him once more, her laugh wracking through her body as tears continued to stream down her face.
"Why... are you... laughing?" She accused through her own laugh.
Shadow began to slow his chuckling and he looked over at her, his ruby eyes sparkling with mischief.
"I was just reminded of your strength. You always knew how to roughly knock the sense right back into my head... I always wondered if your choice of weapon was more than just a coincidence."
Amy pouted at his words, and her arms folded across her chest as she looked to the sky once more.
"And you always know how to get under my quills."
Shadow chuckled again at her comment, he wouldn't tell her, but that phrase had been said more than once in their life together. He allowed himself a few more minutes to stare at her face, before he stood and brushed the grass from his fur.
"As always, Rose, I can not win against you. I'll try to stop coming so often."
It was the words she wanted him to say, but once they had been uttered, she felt a frantic worry develop in her heart. And somehow she didn't want to let him go...
"Wait... I know what I said, but I also don't want you to leave and wallow in grief forever… isn't there something I can do?"
He looked down at her, at her young and bright face, the concern that shone in her peridot pools, and the way her quills fell onto her shoulders as she sat up straight in her worry for him. He wanted to steal her away, take her to his time, lock her up and never let her go, find some way to ruin her, some way to make her last forever. However, a rose  will always wilt, it was a fragile existence... but wasn't that what made them so beautiful in the first place?
"What's wrong? You gonna miss me?"
Her eyes narrowed at his teasing tone, and she looked to the ground, her pointed ear folding back in embarrassment.
"No... I'm worried that you will... I hate the thought of you being alone..."
It's because I hate the thought of you being left alone, Shads. I love you and want you to have someone to love after I'm gone.
The words she’d said so long ago - or was it the words she had yet to say - echoed through his ears. He had forgotten about it after all this time. That argument a few years into their relationship. The argument about starting a family. He’d been against it... not confident in his ability to be a father, not wanting to share his time with Amy with another. But she had said those words after hours of yelling, and they had come forth in a broken whisper. And so he had relented, not understanding the meaning behind those words until now. That's right... she would never be completely gone... she lived through their children.
He looked down at her, tears brimming in her eyes as she thought about his perpetual loneliness, and he bent down, one hand landing on her shoulder, the other curling behind his back. His lips touched her forehead, and she flinched, but held still as he kissed her gently. He wanted to kiss her lips, to hold her to him. But he wouldn't, because he already had.
He stood straight once more, and looked down at her with a smile, one she had never seen before, but hoped she would see again.
"Whoever said you left me alone."
The words were heavy with unspoken promises, and she opened her lips to ask, but then she heard a shout behind her.
"Rose!"
Her head turned, and she saw Shadow at the bottom of the hill, his arms crossed, and his brow hardened with youth. His expression would have come across as aggressive to anyone else but her. She saw the softness in his crimson eyes, and the small happy twitch in the corner of his mouth as he looked at her. She smiled back, but then remembered, and turned away to look at where he had been, but he was gone.
"What are you looking at? "
Her head turned towards his voice, gruffer than the one who had just left, but it was the voice she knew, the voice that stirred her heart and made her feel safe. But as her eyes met his, his face suddenly morphed from curiosity to panic. She wondered why for a second, but then a breeze blew past them, and she felt a cold wetness on her cheeks. She was crying, large tears rolling down her muzzle.
Shadow's hands jerked forward than backward, and his brow furrowed further as he nervously tried to figure out what to do. He hadn't seen her cry like this before, and it unnerved him. She watched as his fingers twitched and his mouth frowned, and she felt an unbearable adoration for him bloom in her chest. That's right, he wasn't gone. She grabbed his hand and pulled him down to the ground with her, their bodies tangling into a heap.
"Amy! What the hell -"
"Shhh, when a girl cries, you're supposed to hug her."
There was a brief silence and she swore she could hear him think about her words. But then his arms awkwardly held her. There was no confident strength like the other Shadow, no desperate clinging that set her blood on fire, no passionate grasp. There was time for that later, he would learn... for now this was her favorite hug.
"I know you won't understand this right now, but listen to me," She implored him, voice trembling and arms clenching onto him tightly causing a loud huff to escape his lungs.
"Chaos... what is it?"
"Don't love me too much, okay?"
He pulled slightly away from her, and his crimson eyes looked shocked and belligerent.
"I - I don't -"
"Yeah, yeah. I forgot that love is too large of a concept for you right now. Just... just promise me that you will remember this... please?"
The seriousness in her tone must've worried him enough, because he nodded, and pulled her back to his chest.
"Okay Rose... I promise."
She sighed in relief, her head further nuzzling into the small curve of his neck. And as he held her, and as she clasped onto him, she looked at that patch of grass just a few feet away. The patch that was flattened by a hedgehog who didn't belong in her time, but would always weigh in her heart. One day he would know the meaning behind her words, and she prayed that maybe he would find peace.
The words she had said did save him, but it was not the words she had just forced upon him now. Rather it’d been the ones she’d said in frustration for his future, that had brought color back into his world. Words that she did not realize she will spend a lifetime to bring to fruition, just for the final piece to be laid in their past.
I hate the thought of you being alone.

Shadamy drabble
Enjoy this short piece of writing that I found in one of my 'notes to self'. I swear I will use this later, with context and everything, but for now: enjoy a little wip <3 Read more below cut.
“Amidst all the hatred, all the grief, the pain, the revenge I was seeking, my scary glares, my harsh attitude, and all the bottled up fury inside me, you found something in me. Something worth believing in. It changed everything. I know Sonic and I are always given most of the credit for saving the day, but maybe that’s not fair. Without you, there’d be no way I would have dragged my ass out there and gave it my very all to save us. You rewrote history, Amy.”
--
“Ugh… Still, sometimes I wish I were a little less impulsive.”
“You know, that’s actually what I like about you.”
“Why?”
“Because it means that you’re capable of caring deeply and unexpectedly. That’s just how passionate you are. And… you act on it, sometimes without thinking things through.”
Amy blushes shyly, breaking eye contact quickly when she sees how serious he looks. She grabs a water bottle from her backpack and cleanses one of his deeper wounds, then carefully wraps a bandage around it. 
“You see something good in everyone, even when they don’t deserve it,” Shadow continues.
“Stop it, Shadow. I feel like you’re just flattering me,” Amy says, and pulls her knees up to wrap her arms around them. When her eyes meet his, she’s a little unnerved by the intensity of his deadpan expression. Shadow has a talent for looking extremely serious, monotone even at times. 
“You’re joking, right? I don’t flatter others. Ever.” 
“...Alright.”
“I’m serious. The moment earth was about to be partially destroyed, and we were all going to perish and die, you saw something in me.” 
The mysterious crimson in his eyes, highlighted by the contrast of the green light of the emergency exit sign, shakes something in Amy. They represent an ocean of sparkling ruby, and if she’s honest with herself, she could drown in them. 
But right now, it seems to her that it’s maybe Shadow who’s almost drowning himself.
“Amidst all the hatred, all the grief, the pain, the revenge I was seeking, my scary glares, my harsh attitude, and all the bottled up fury inside me, you found something in me. Something worth believing in. It changed everything. I know Sonic and I are always given most of the credit for saving the day, but maybe that’s not fair. Without you, there’d be no way I would have dragged my ass out there and gave it my very all to save us. You rewrote history, Amy.”
“Shadow…” 
He gently rubs his thumb over the back of her hand. It’s such a simple gesture, and yet she feels as connected to him as she did when they shared that passionate kiss earlier tonight. 
“We did, together. All of us.”
Shadow nods, and it’s the first time he feels okay with being added to a team that doesn’t only include Rouge and Omega. If they can bear with him at his worst, then how bad can it really be - especially if one of their members is as cute as Amy Rose? 
He regards her, and he finds it hard to breathe when he sees how happy she looks. It’s endearing and reminds him of a jolly chao. He’s caught by the brightness of her turquoise tinted irises. It’s intriguing to watch the light play with, and change their shade continuously, and it’s tempting to stare into them a little too long.

👀 for the ask thing... shadamy?
Ship It
What made you ship it? Playing Sonic Adventure 2. Like, really, that's it, honestly. Amy saved the world by being her sweet, nice self, and I think she and Shadow would get along well if SEGA would (a) write Shadow competently again and (b) just let them interact more. Once they both mature a little more, I think they'd just compliment each others' personalities well. Also the fic Only Yesterday by my old friend Ardil the Traveller - it's quite an old fic at this point (Ardil was still writing it when we met twenty-odd years ago and I helped beta some of the later chapters), and is about a hell of a lot more than Shadow/Amy, but my memories of how they're written in that fic are foundational. Ardil and I always tend to end up RPing slow-burn Shadamy in the background when we're writing for Sonic, in any case (we tend to write more adventure stories than romances).
What are your favorite things about the ship? The way I like seeing them, Shadow really needs someone who treats him as, first and foremost, a person instead of a colleague or science experiment. Amy's willingness to do so on the ARK is, again, what saved the world in SA2, and I'd like to see them have more of those kind of interactions. Amy taking him to cheesy movies that Shadow privately thinks Maria might've liked. Shadow taking Amy to the space museum and reminiscing. Like, in general they have an interesting dynamic of "quiet guy and energetic girl," and I think they just compliment each other well.
Is there an unpopular opinion you have on your ship? Self-care is blocking all the pretentious asshats clutching their pearls over Official Ages that SEGA pulled out of their asses for marketing purposes. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I write them as young adults and have very little patience for purity policing in general. If a picture of them together whines that I shouldn't tag as ship, I just don't reblog at all, and more violent whining gets the banhammer from my blog.
