Masks a Boom Omegaverse fic by @nottheweirdest | 18.9 k ongoing

Summary:

Sonic has been taking a heat suppressant and secondary gender blocker to conceal his omega identity since he was 17 and it's worked well. The world, and even his friends, believe he's a beta. When his heat strikes early at the start of a mission and the suppressant fails to work, he turns to the one person he never expected to help him conceal his condition. Shadow.

If I Were Easy To Kill, You Would Have Done It Already a movie fic by TrenchcoatGecko | 28.4 k

Summary:

Sonic Movie 3 Spoilers! Sonic is struck with grief in the wake of Shadow's sacrifice. Shadow, in his truest form—his pain, his honor, the good in his heart—is Sonic's little secret. The world isn't ready. Nobody would understand, not even his own family. Sonic is more than ready to shoulder the burden. But Shadow's not dead. It doesn't take long for he and Sonic to fall into their awkward little tango. Midnights spent sneaking into the Wachowski household lends well to forming a strong, indestructible bond, and it's only natural that, over the course of it all, two hedgehogs fall in love.

say i reckon (i love you, for a millisecond) a fic by red_lettering (redamancyy) | 30.2 k

Summary:

There’s a hand on his shoulder, barely making contact. A red gauntlet glows around the wrist. Sonic blinks, the pain having evaporated so fast he feels almost weightless. “Shadow?” Shadow’s breathing heavily. “Problem.” The retrieval of the ancient tech Shadow (and Sonic, in tow) has been sent to uncover takes a turn for the worst. In this case, the “worst” means… becoming physically and inextricably linked to each other. For the foreseeable future. OR: Metaphysical handcuffs, and general gay buffoonery.

-> This is also a personal favorite of mine, since it was my first ever Sonadow fic and honestly, it's written just so incredibly well!!👌

Fics above 50 k ❤

Silly Hats and Party Favors a 5+1 fic by @nebrasska-alasska | 58.3 k

Summary:

The deal with Rouge was simple. All Shadow had to do was go with her to five parties, and she would purchase him a brand-new motorcycle to replace the one he had wrecked on a mission. Somehow finding himself trapped alone with Sonic at all five of these parties, however, was never a part of the plan. [AKA, five times Shadow wound up alone with Sonic at a party, and the one time they wound up alone with no party.]

One sided beef in every universe

He’ll figure it out eventually, once he decides to stop being difficult xD

Next up, shadow tries on a cutesy dress :>
