The whole thing started the last day we spent in jail for the hologram heist. The front door woke us up; I yawned and stretched, but Myles grumbled and rolled over. Deputy Barney greeted us, then got us our breakfast. The food there is usually pretty good; it's definitely better than Myles' cooking. He doesn't think so, though; Myles liked to say you wouldn't feed it to a dog. And of course, since the town's only fireman got bitten by a dog on call, he'd taken to saying you wouldn't feed it to Kade. I didn't mind the food, except the egg and cheese sandwiches. I was just about to scrape the tangy cheese off mine when I heard the front door a

Author's Note Thank you for looking at this piece! This is a reimagining of Shadow the Hedgehog, the 2005 Sonic platformer/shooter. It's being told with a framing tale of Sonic recounting the events to another character from Sonic Unleashed. As a result, the following Sonic games will be spoiled: Sonic Adventure 2 (major) Sonic Heroes (major) Shadow the Hedgehog (major) Sonic Unleashed (minor) This story is going to contain violence comparable to that in the game itself, which had earned an E10 rating, but possibly far more disturbing in context. There is also mild sexually suggestive content in the form of Rouge the Bat and Amy Rose,

Author's Note This is a Sonic the Hedgehog fanfic, set in the game universe. Sonic belongs to Sega, obviously, and so do most of the people in here. This contains spoilers for most of the Sonic games, but especially Sonic and the Secret Rings and Sonic Unleashed/Sonic World Adventure. This story will also contain: * moderate comic violence * Non-violent, accidental injury * Swearing * A frank discussion of drug use's effect on society * A frank discussion of domestic violence. Hetero and yaoi pairings are mentioned, but no shipping is actually present * Horrible customer service * Pink Socks * Fan characters in supporting roles If any of

Look to the flames, they say, as if it explains everything. Look around you. Look at how horrible it is, at the way things are. Look at the monsters everywhere, the flames of disaster consuming everything, as if that were an explanation, a reason. They treat it like cause, and it’s an effect. I see that now, for all the good it does.   What caused the flames in the first place? Well, the Iblis Trigger, he said. True enough, I guess. Sonic was the Iblis Trigger. Sonic was the Iblis Trigger because killing him triggered Iblis. Duh. Blaze always was right to look down her nose at me the way she did. I should have seen that for what it was

It also contains spoilers for the main plot of Omega Ruby, and an OC trainer inspired by the author's choices in her copy of the game. Deal with it or get out. Convection seared her, eyes burning, and she screamed as the heat engulfed her. The molten mess gave way to faint rocky brown walls and a blur of orange moving toward her scale model of Castelia. The burning pain remained a moment as reality set in. “Emyr! It's ok! No one's here, unless you heard the doorbell!” It turned its head to look at Carly, torso still leaned forward,

 Like many revelations about his marriage, it was quiet on the outside. In this case, Charlie stared into the fridge, looking at the damage Kade's dopplegangers had done to the groceries. It wasn't catastrophic; Charlie was frugal and kept a decent backup fund. Still, it brought to mind old hurts and worries, old concerns. He could almost hear her behind him, grousing about how expensive it was to feed three teenagers and two adults... He closed the fridge and made for the door. It didn't do to think about such things. It didn't do to dwell on the past. Lately, lately he'd almost gotten away from wondering what she might say, what she might

“Are we there yet?” “Babygirl, does it look like we’re there yet?”   David Rossi leaned on the door and sighed.   To his left, Derek Morgan peered up into the rearview mirror, teeth ever so slightly bared. Immediately behind him, Penelope Garcia chattered incessantly, every statement rising in pitch like a question, whether it was or not. “Given the low population density even in so-called cities this far north, the unobservant could fail to recognize landmarks indicating that we’ve arrived,” Spencer Reid piped up from the rear of the car, his voice almost as squeaky as Penelope’s. &ld

The sea of people seemed to part for him, though no one really saw his face. He was used to that, somewhat. Somehow, despite all the fame and fortune, all the press, he still blended into a crowd. It helped that no one here actually knew him, and likewise, he knew none of them. He thought, once or twice, that he saw someone younger with Peggy's eyes in the sea of solemn black, but they passed over him without recognition. He stepped up to the casket.
