Sonic/Shadow, also known as Sonadow, is a Slash pairing between Sonic the Hedgehog and Shadow the Hedgehog in the Sonic fandom.
Canon
Fandom
The fandom sprung up quickly after the Shadow's debut in Sonic Adventure 2, establishing itself on fanfic sites such as FanFiction.Net, FanDomination.Net, and AdultFanFiction.Net, as well as art sites like DeviantArt. As none of these sites at the time implemented pairing filters, the name Sonadow became the default tag used to identify the ship, beating out the less-popular Shadsonic.
It is presently considered the most popular Sonic ship, with the most entries of any pairing on Archive of Our Own.[1]
As the ship runs counter to Amy's canonical interest in Sonic, Sonadow is often positioned against Sonamy, and it is not unusual for Amy to appear as an antagonist or love rival in Sonadow fics.
