''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/19271464 Veritas Dolor]]'' by [=CousinGreek=] is a ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'' one-shot themed around Shadow. The story is darker than canon, including mature themes such as torture and sexual abuse.
The story is an angst piece about Shadow's past and how it's troubled him. Shadow has a lot of repressed memories that are probably better left repressed.

!!This fanfic provides examples of:
* AdaptationalAngstUpgrade: Shadow's backstory is even worse than in canon. He doesn't handle it stoically.
* AppropriateAnimalAttire: Shadow normally wears nothing but his shoes and socks, however he wears a G.U.N. uniform for ceremonies.
* BittersweetEnding: Shadow is talked out of his suicide, but Rouge knows that it'll happen again sometime in the future. She just hopes he'll be able to stop himself if she's not around for him someday.
* DarkFic: It's a Shadow fic where he is DrivenToSuicide due to his DarkAndTroubledPast.
* PatchworkFic: ''Veritas Dolor'' is game-based but FunnyAnimal characters are called "Mobians".
* RapeAsBackstory: A good chunk of Shadow's trauma comes from being assaulted by G.U.N. members while he was partially sedated.
* ShellShockedVeteran: Shadow works as a G.U.N. agent. It doesn't help his PTSD seeing his comrades killed in action.
* ShoutOut: Though not a SongFic, the fic does contain the lyrics to Music/NatKingCole's "When I Fall In Love" as a mood setter.
* TalkingDownTheSuicidal: The climax revolves around Rogue talking down Shadow on the anniversary of the ARK massacre.
