    Summary

    For as long as Tails can remember, Sonic's always made up a different story about how they first met. He's said he found Tails following him through the jungle, that he fell on him from out of a tree, that he caught him fixing his plane... It has become a constant just how inconsistent he can be with all these different versions of the same story. But Sonic's just having a bit of fun and exercising his right as his big brother to mess with him a little. Over the years it became their own silly tradition in a way.

    Until Tails realizes the real reason why Sonic doesn't tell it right.

    Time isn't a straight line, and the stitches holding their story together are a little uneven, but like Sonic says, the how isn't always what matters. That it happened at all is what does.

    Five times Sonic told Tails the story of how they first met, and one time Tails did.

    Summary

    "This is you," Sonic signed to him, then made the sign for "tails," smile proud and pleased with himself.

    Miles blinked at him, then down at the page they were reading, where all the mobian body parts were. "Tails?" Miles copied the sign, a little sloppily with the gloves being too big.

    "Your name is Tails." Sonic pointed at him. "Understand?"

    He understood, but that wasn't his name.

    A name can change a lot of things, but a young Sonic and Tails discover it doesn't necessarily have to change everything.

    Summary

    For as long as Tails could remember, it was the two of them against the world. Sonic and Tails, best friends and brothers by bond, if not by blood. There’d never been any doubt in his mind that they were on the same page. Nothing was ever going to come between them. It was a fact, and Tails had more than enough data to back it up.

    What he didn’t consider, however, were the conditions they lived in when he’d drawn that first conclusion. When it was just the two of them living on their own, constantly on the move. Of course they were each other’s best friends. They were all they had in the world aside from a few meager camping supplies and Sonic’s plane.

    But that wasn’t the case anymore. Stuck in one place, they had more opportunities to spend time with their friends and to make new ones. More than Tails could ever remember having at one time. Turns out learning to adapt to change is a guaranteed constant in life.

    Tails wished he’d been given the memo sooner; then maybe he’d have had more time to prepare.


    As their friend group expands to include both Cream and Charmy, Tails has to learn to share his big brother's attention with the younger kids. Spoiler alert: he isn't very good at it.
