Wow. This was great. Funny thing. I came across this story YEARS ago (and the Wikipedia hedgehods one, no idea you wrote both! XD). I think I made it to about chapter 27 ish before I stopped for whatever reason. Recently my Sonic Fan Mania came back full force and a few weeks ago I thought about this story. And you know, with everything going on and basically not leaving my home (for the most part), I figured, why not find and finish it? I'm so glad I did. It was amazing. I laughed, almost cried, I raged. So many emotions haha. I've even thought about making fanart, and I can't draw for shit lol. Anyways, just wanted to say how wonderful this was. Thanks for sharing your writing with the world. Can't wait to read more from ya. :)

I love the thought that you put into crafting this story!

I’ve been saving this review for the end, and I hope it makes your day: You have made an AMAZING story! One of the best I’ve ever read! Your writing style is captivating and engaging, and had me laughing at one moment, then crying at the next. You did a really good job of describing, and came up with good explanations for how everything worked out. It was a beautiful ending, and I think you did a really good job. You did AMAZING, and I can’t wait to check out other stories you have.

man i love this au

I'm sorry i couldn't read this chapter. at all.

Finally. Shadow being treated like a person. It just took saving everyone's lives and personally talking to some of the people who had been deliberately misinformed on the nature of the experiment's results.

Having read first class before this, i already know how this plays out

calm down you two, i thought you were hedgehogs, not spotlight-hogs.

Shadow just dashing off in the middle of his story to go brush his teeth

And that's why one is limited to ten animals/drives per garden trip.

Ah, who knew Shadow would be such a storyteller?

Right, the game's prologue OST is playing and that just adds to the suspense.

Im going to be listening to the Shadow the Hedgehog (2005) OST while I read this for the first time. I'll tell you how it goes.

Tails wasn't just a friend to Sonic, He was a brother

I like the background things where it has a break from the story like when he's like "you experiment lol xd" and "shampoo extra value lololol im hillarious"
