It's not what you think. The story has nothing to do with Shadow the Hedgehog. He just shows up a few times. It takes place after Sonic X with some continuity issues, meaning that I will borrow characters and events from other Sonic the Hedgehog continuities such as the video games and comics. Tails has sunk into a deep depression following the death of Cosmo. Can the comfort of friends return the twin-tailed vulpine to his old self, or is one of his friends partially to blame? This fan fiction is rated M for its dark nature, foul language, and lemons, lots of lemons.
