Shadsticks

Shadsticks is the het ship between Shadow and Sticks from the Sonic Boom fandom.

Sonic Boom
Shadow and Sticks did not meet directly in Rise of Lyric or in the first season of the TV series.

Shattered Crystal
Sticks, Sonic, Tails and Knuckles were in Shadow Canyons when Shadow, wearing a mind control device, stood in the distance and ran off. Sticks and her friends followed him and, eventually, Sonic challenged the edgy black hedgehog to a race. After Sonic won, he kicked Shadow's mind control device. After a while, its wearer woke up in front of the group. As Shadow remembered his last conscious moments with Lyric, Sticks realized that he was "in cahoots with the rotten reptile". Shadow replied that he does not "work for anyone". After a brief communication with Lyric through the device, Shadow ran off again for revenge. Sticks and the trio followed him into the city for any "clues about Amy".

After Sonic defeated Lyric at his airship and released the rest of his friends from a glass ball, they met Shadow again, who disabled a laser cannon and kicked Lyric back. Sonic pulled a lever to open the airship's hatch, bringing the last Ancient down to his doom. Sticks then gave a speech in which she understood teamwork, calling it "beautiful". Shadow rated her speech as "pathetic" and left the newly-suggested Team Sonic alone "as [Sonic's] superior".

Cartoon
In "It Takes a Village to Defeat a Hedgehog", Sticks and Amy were busy fighting a Weasel Bandit, two stunt bears, and Dave the Intern when Shadow clashed with Sonic. Annoyed by an interfering Dr. Eggman, the black hedgehog teleported away after being defeated by the blue hedgehog, as Sticks and the rest of Team Sonic gave him fistbumps. It can be implied that Sticks might had have a glance at Shadow before he left.

In part one of "Eggman the Video Game", Sticks and Amy confronted Shadow after the latter beat down Knuckles and Tails. They charged the edgy black hedgehog, with Sticks jumping at him first. Shadow grabbed Sticks' staff, spinning it and its wielder, and throwing it back. After kicking Amy in the face, both girls surrounded the black hedgehog on opposite sides. When they charged at him again, Shadow teleported behind them at the last moment and grabbed both badger and Amy up into the sky, dropping them mid-air. He appeared before Sticks and the rest of Team Sonic again in part two after they shut down Metal Sonic, threatening to destroy the whole universe.

Main Sonic the Hedgehog series games
In Mario &amp; Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games, Sticks appears alongside the regular version of Shadow. They also both appear as Speed Type characters in the now-discontinued Sonic Runners mobile game.

Fanon
This pairing is fairly popular, but not as much as Sonicks or Shadamy. Some fans have made fan art of Sticks with Modern Shadow, rather than his Sonic Boom counterpart.

As of July 2021, Wattpad has about six stories across three different tags relating to this ship.
