Everytime a Sonic fan, non Sonic fan or even a sonamy/shadamy/blazamy/sonadow fan refers to Amy as a "stalker" or says she had a "stalker behaviour" a fairy dies đ§
Undercurrent is a sci-fi, mystery, surfing interactive fiction story that dives into the deepest parts of our minds. The game is rated 17+ for mature content.
You return to the Cove after six years, older, quieter, and carrying a special kind of grief. Once a competitive surf prodigy, you vanished after the death of someone close to you, someone who died in these waters.
But the ocean hasnât forgotten you. Neither has the Cove.
Now, in this small town, teetering between real and tech, strange phenomena ripple through the waters. Surfboards pulse with forgotten data. Tides shift too suddenly. Whispers drift through the mist. And your old boardâsilent for yearsâbegins humming with signals that shouldnât exist.
As you retrace old steps, youâll uncover hidden secrets, rekindle, or avoid fractured relationships, and confront the truth of what happened the night everything changed. Someoneâor somethingâknows youâre back. And the waves are calling for you.
Will you pursue the mystery beneath the sea, even if it means unraveling yourself?
Will you ride the tide toward truth, or let it pull you under?
Will you reconnect with the person you once lovedâbefore they became someone else?
Because in the Cove, nothing stays buried forever. Not love. Not guilt. Not the dead.
Customize your Surfer's gender, sexuality, and more!
Romance one of four characters! Or romance the one that never made it out of the Cove.
Hone your surfing skills! Do you prefer the natural way, or will you let tech help you?
Uncover the mystery that is under the Cove.
Dynamic environment and choices!
Multiple endings!
Wren always seemed a little too aware of things no one else noticed.
You remember Wren barefoot on the cliffâs edge, the salt spray catching in her hair, her eyes blazing with something fierce, something breakable all at once. She turned toward you, grinning like she knew a secret you hadn't earned yet, and said in a jovial voice: "One day, weâll go so far out the waves canât find us. Promise me youâll come too." You never answered. You thought you had forever. "You used to be my anchor. Now you're the mystery pulling me under."
Runs a small surf repair and outfitting shop that's struggling to survive under the corporate tech expansions. Ashâs hands were steady even when the world wasnât. You remember them pressing a hand over yours, guiding you to fix a cracked fin on your first board. "Itâs not broken. Just needs someone who wonât give up on it." You didnât realize until later that they weren't talking about the board at all. "You left. I stayed. Donât expect it to be easy between us."
Kye came to the Cove, riding the strange waves without fear â and might know more about the ocean's changing patterns than they admit. You remember Kye laughing, reckless and wild, as they dove straight into a rip current like they could outrun death itself. "If youâre not scared, itâs not worth it." You stood frozen on the sand that day â and Kye never looked back. "You think you can keep secrets from the ocean? You're adorable."
A researcher specializing in tech-oceanic anomalies. The first time you saw Imani, she was kneeling on the rocks, studying a tide pool like it was a portal to another world. She didnât notice you watching until she said, softly: "Everything leaves traces if you know where to look." When your eyes met, you felt like you were the one being studied. "You make me want to believe in things I shouldn't."
Act like nothing matters, but every scar says otherwise. Cass stood alone by the firepit, one foot grinding lazy circles into the sand, a cigarette burning low between two fingers. He stared up at the stars â half the constellations smothered by the haze of the city beyond the cliffs â and let out a hollow laugh. "Doesnât matter how good it feels out here. Everything good still finds a way to leave." He said it like a joke, but he didnât smile. Neither did you. "Iâm not here to be your hero. Iâm barely here to save myself."

"As the universe settled, amongst the creations yet unknown, the faintest pulse of life stirred in the cosmos: one called Time."
Since the beginning of time, time entities have structured the rules of the universe, events, eras, rises and falls of empires, all at the delicate hand of those who can weave it. Yet, there will always be oddities, miscalculations and curveballs thrown at even the simplest of plans. Heroes where none should be had, humanity where tyranny should prevail, despair in times of hope.
You are such an oddity, you brought the risk of humanity evolving leaps before its time, risked bringing peace in the eras of destruction, a voice of reason in the time of fools. You, simply being, risked the structure of time.
Linear Flux is an IF (interactive fiction) where you, the reader, find yourself taken by a time bureau as to prevent your actions from having brought a catastrophic change to your time. It is rated 18+ for violence, time relevant bigotry, sexual themes.
You were a valuable asset, one too valuable to fully rid themselves off, and have now (with little say on your end) been brought in as a part of the Vanguard group, a group of individuals from different eras of time, all brought together to prevent time from imploding on itself, and for humanity to take its course.
This is a work of fiction and will therefor take grand leaps in its historical accuracy, so take everything with a grain of salt (but do let me know if I have in anyway misrepresented, misread or gotten something wrong when any historical thing is mentioned!) It is loosely based on our Earth and I've taken some major liberties with city names and made up events, character and places. Linear Flux is a romance based 18+ IF story due to its heavy themes, violence and sexual themes (optional when it comes to romance!) There will be a list of trigger warnings I heavily suggest you read before delving into this story, and they will all be referenced before each chapter (or possibly before the prologue.)
In Linear Flux you can play as the following: â”Non-binary, male, female, trans, cis. â”Gay, straight, bisexual, pansexual. â”Choose your origins: be the violent but bold warrior, the idealistic but kind poet, the clever but pragmatic inventor or the cruel but charming assassin.
Meet a varied cast of possible RO's (romance options)
-Scott/Sonya Leyton 32 [M/F] The Saboteur Possible Poly with H
S is a Southern gentlefolk, with a heavy accent fitting their robust frame well. Once out of their shell, their usual quietness is replaced with a open heart and kindness, their mama didn't raise no fool after all! But will their sorrow for leaving their family behind eventually catch up? And when it does, will you be there to help them stay in the saddle? S is from 1875, from the Wild West American frontier, where they were part of a gang. âąAs Scott, he is 6'3, Caucasian with sun kissed freckled skin, his hair is an unruly short crop in a copper colour, and his eyes are a deep welcoming blue, he is stocky and fairly hairy.

-Hakiem Nujum 29 [M] The Liberator Asexual/Possible Poly with S
Hakiem is a gentle soul, with a soft demeanour and fondness for freedom and baking, along with him comes the smell of freshly baked bread, thyme and a hint of Kyphi. He holds the essence of family tightly to his chest and is more than eager to let you become a part of it, but is he willing to let go of his past to fully embrace you?
Hakiem is from 237 BCE and from Egypt, where he worked as a scribe. âąHe has dark golden skin, being from a Persian-Egyptian lineage, his eyes are a golden amber and his hair a curly shoulder length dark brown which he has styled into a more modern haircut. He is 5'8 and has a lean and rather thin swimmers build, his skin is usually decorated with golden jewellery, such as his nose stud and lower lip stud, his body lightly dusted with hair.
-Elton/Edna Hawksford 41 [M/F] The Hound
E is unapproachable, a wall built high on the base of nobility, their heavy British accent harsh and cutting, leaving no room for building relationships. Though seen as the leader, their iron fist is softened by their apparent love for the team, and once you've earned your place in their eyes, maybe you will be able to get a glimpse behind that British façade, and see a more honest and broken veteran. But will their flaws be too much for you to handle, or will you show them that even those with a past are worthy of redemption?
E is Scottish but lived most of their life in England during 1765. âąAs Elton, he is 5'7, Caucasian, with a rosy pale complexion. Originally from Scotland he has trained away his accent from years playing the game of nobility. His hair is greying, hair wavy and in a slicked back style, though still peaking is his natural mousey brown. His eyes are a dull grey, cold and calculating. His body is one of a veteran, scarred and muscular, with a layer of fat over it, he is broad and holds himself like one much taller. On his back is a plethora of scars, with hints of past scraps and years of service to a 'greater good'. He is very hairy all over, except his back. âąAs Edna, she is 5'6, Caucasian, with a rosy pale complexion. Originally from Scotland she has trained away her accent from years of playing the game of nobility. Her hair is greying, a wavy style that's slicked back and reaching her shoulders, her natural brown hair still hinting through. Her eyes are an icy grey, cold and calculating. Her body is one of a veteran, scarred and muscular, with a layer of fat over it, she is broad but slightly curvy and she holds herself with elegance. On her back is a plethora of scars, hints of past battles and hidden trauma from living up to the eyes of nobility. She maintains a pristine body grooming ritual and only has a faint dusting of hair on her underarms.
-Mateo/Matt 30 [M/F] The Defiant Possible Poly with Sigurd
M is analytical, and the very definition of stoic, very literal and to the point about most things, lacking social cues. They are an older model of a fashion android, now attempting to live a life for the first time in their existence. Now having a chosen name, identity and a choice to become more than what they once were. But living a life when one was never an option can break the strongest of humans, so what will it do to someone who isn't one?
M is from 2128 in a futuristic version of a collective union in Europe. âąAs Mateo, he is 6'4, he has deep dark umber skin with hints of bluish hues by his joints, his eyes are an electrical blue and inhuman, his hair long and white, completely straight, reaching down to his waist, if not lower, and he is ethereal in an eerie way. His body is tall and sleek, with a wider chest and almost sculpted look to him, as if a marble statue. âąAs Matt, she is 6'0, she has deep dark umber skin with hints of bluish hues by her joints, her eyes are an electrical blue and appear inhuman, her hair short and white, a choppy straight cut, the longest parts reaching her cheeks, and she harbours an ethereal essence. She is tall and sleek, with a very pronounced chest and an hourglass figure, soft and curved, as if a marble statuette.
-The Boss 200,000 [M/F/NB] The Boss Possible Poly with Sigurd
The Boss is a mystery in and of themselves, who they are, their origins and their purpose. Being one of the time entities, they are closer to man than any of their kind, holding it close to their proverbial heart, perhaps with a hint of something other than order dictates. When it all falls on their shoulders, will you be able to keep them steady?
âąAs a time entity their appearance will not vary much, the only difference between them being slight alterations in body type, The Boss will always be 6'2 regardless of chosen gender and rather plain in their appearance, the only striking factor being their skin in its close resemblance to concrete, slight cracks and corrosion hidden under a well-fitted suit. Their hair is almost shaved to the scalp, and a steel grey colour, similar to how their eyes also lack much contrast to the rest of them. Their body is chiselled, well structured and lacks much body hair, but they have in a way adopted the custom from humans.
-Sigurd GunnĂrsson/SednadottĂr 27 [M/F] The Lover Possible Poly route with M or The Boss.
Sigurd is a lover, through and through, and is defined by their lust for life. They are quick to love and even quicker to befriend, eager to take in all that time and life has to offer them. But is the bubbly and hopeful view of life an act? And who will wind up loving them, when even they can't seem to muster up enough love for themself?
Sigurd is Icelandic/Irish and is from 862 CE Ireland. âąAs GunnĂrsson, he is 5'10, Caucasian with Rosy porcelain skin covered in heavy layers of freckles. He has wavy locks of auburn hair, reaching down to his chest, with braids and beads interwoven out of wood and bone. He sports a thick well kept beard and has piercings in his ears, septum and nipples. He is heavily built with pudge, and his arms have tattoos from travels overseas and from home, the most prominent being the Gebo on his right hand. He is very hairy and takes pride in his appearance. âąAs SednadottĂr, she is 5'7, Caucasian with Rosy porcelain skin covered in heavy layers of freckles. She has wavy locks of auburn hair, shaved on the sides to create a mohawk with braids added and bone beads woven in. She has piercings in both ears, her septum and her nipples. She is heavily built with pudge, giving her a curvy figure, and her arms have tattoos from travels overseas and from home, the most prominent being the Gebo on her right hand.

Amy wanted to try the pose after seeing it and now they be posing like JoJo characters
Then Shadow got flustered asf
every single amy ship gets like 1000% better once you realise that the initial crush on sonic is like. her gateway into edgy losers. her entry into the I Can Fix Them subgenre.
cause sonic himself is not particurly edgy but he is like The Rebel Bad Boy who has Attitude and Spunk and hes frequently Rude To People In Authority. sonic is very much nelson muntz levels of edgy. his levels of darkness and evil bottom out at "one time i got angry and yelled at a bird and it horrified me to my very core".
but then amy meets shadow who is going through The Horrors and its like. ooooh this is a new flavour this is a new spice hi whats your deal? and metal sonic is just grooving with the whole "being crushed beneath the existential weight of my existence" vibe and thats just catnip to amy. and then blaze is just Tragically Distant and Morose and oh wow thats cute hey girl what you doing tonight? and then SURGE is just like. ten billion red flags and a flashing neon sign going YOU CANT FIX HER only for amy to take that as a challenge
and in the background sonic is just like. "ames theres like. you do know there are people out there who Arent Insane right."
