History Fanfic / HowDoIAdmitImFallingApart

* PatchworkFic: The work is predominantly based in the games, but the planet is named "Mobius" like in the 1990's non-Japanese media, and Sonic's species is "Mobian".

* AdaptationalGenderIdentity: Instead of a cis man, Sonic was born as a girl and transitions after the events of ''Sonic CD''. The kick off to his realization comes from Wave coming out as a trans woman.

Sonic realizes that she's become more self-conscious lately but doesn't understand why, chalking it up to teenage insecurity until she sees news coverage that famous Extreme Gear rider Wade the Swallow now goes by "Wave the Swallow". Everything suddenly clicks in his head after that.

* AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul: Sonic is on friendlier terms with Amy than in canon. They're close friends and [[PromotedToLoveInterest Amy's crush is mutual]].

* {{Elective Mute}}: Sonic has Selective Mutism for unknown reasons which probably pertain to his backstory in future chapters. This is shown by him reverting to sign language when he is too fearful or stressed to speak. Also counts as a {{Truth in Television}}, as people with Selective Mutism cannot control when they go silent because it's a severe anxiety disorder that stems from trauma. Double counts as the writers have {{Shown Their Work}} when writing the disorder in Sonic.

* {{Transgender}}:
** Wave is a transgender woman. Her coming out helps Sonic realize that he's a boy.
** Sonic is a trans boy.

* AbortedArc: The upload on Archive of our Own is part of a series and the tags mention later chapters, but nothing ever came of it. Update 11/4/2020: There are other chapters planned according to the authors' Tumblrs. They are just busy with schoolwork and other projects.
