Fics like Shut Up and Dance With Me

His family would understand if he told them he was having trouble coping—that the nightmares were becoming too much and that he spent most of the day trying to mentally prepare for the horrors that bedtime would bring him—that he didn’t know how to forgive himself, for being the worst teammate, the worst brother, the worst son, the worst hero. But even just admitting that out loud felt like admitting defeat in some messed up way. He was Sonic the Hedgehog. He responded to stress with humor and to anxiety was sass. That was who he was! That was who he was supposed to be! That’s who he wanted to be again. Ultimately, Sonic’s strategy was to fake it until he was back to normal. If he just pretended he was Sonic, then eventually he would feel like Sonic again. Admittedly, it wasn’t one of his best plans, as it hinged on his family not bringing up his weird behavior (which they had tried to do several times) and that the nightmares would eventually go away like the last ones had (which they weren’t). He knew it wasn’t a great plan, but a hedgehog could live in hope, right? Or After the destruction of the Eclipse Cannon, Sonic isn’t coping well. His thoughts all come back to a certain ebony hedgehog.
