your car starts making a concerning sound and you tell katsuki about it off-hand, a lil frowny about having to take it into the shop, and you come home from work the next day to him and his dad covered in grease and trying to fix it in the garage

Thinking again about the mastery of Silco's "Don't cry—you're perfect," because it is both Don't cry for the likes of me and In my eyes, you are perfection, as you have always been—
But it is also both Now is not the time to cry; reserve this pain, this anger, for when it is needed and You are perfect, for all your flaws; never let them tell you otherwise—
And it's If the Kindreds will grant me any final wish, let it be not to see you in pain and Hear me now, please hear me, if you have never heard me before: that there is nothing wrong with you—
And it's even I will never forsake you, even in this and Your future is still paved for you, child; still worthy of you, if you will only take it.
But above all, it's I am here. I am here with you. And I see you—as I have always seen you. Do not let your light fade in vain, not now. If there is any soul you wish to avenge, child, do it not for my sake—my lovely girl, avenge all they've denied from you; all they've taken from us. And never—never—let them take it from us, again.
And yet, at its simplest, it is the smallest reassurance he can give.
You're alright. Don't cry, and You are not the monster they've made of you. You're perfect.

Imagine Second Chance AU:
Shadow's gone back too far in time, and now is the sole guardian of apparently an orphaned baby blue hoglet that's somehow destined to become the Hero of Mobius.
Petrified that remaining too long in the wrong time period will step on too many butterflies, Shadow resolves to gather the Chaos Emeralds and travel to the correct time, back to the future and save Sonic.
But what to do with the baby? He can't just abandon him, he'll die and then the future will still be in jeopardy, but who can he leave him with? None of the future Hero's friends are around or able to care for a kid yet...so Shadow does the only thing he can: take the babe with him until he can find him a good home.
Collecting the Chaos Emeralds proves to be an easier feat.
Shadow is NOT a parent by any stretch, but finds himself the only able caretaker for baby Sonic on this journey. At first, he's just trying to keep the kid alive and well, but slowly, Sonic worms his way into Shadow's heart. And by the time Shadow has learned the location of the seventh Emerald, he's found a home for Sonic.
It's a good home with good people that will take good care of the baby, Shadow knows this. He did his due diligence, and now he can complete the mission he set out to do: Save Sonic. But when he turns to leave Sonic's new home, a little voice cries out: "DADA!!!"
Shadow freezes. He can't believe his ears. And then he hears it again. That same little voice that has been nonsensically babbling his ear off and costing him a decent night's rest and slowing him down and giving him cardiac arrest after cardiac arrest: "DADA!!!!"
And Shadow knows right then and there that his previous mission is over. It had been for a long time, but he was too stubborn to see it.
He's got a new mission now.
(Or that one AU where Shadow goes back in time to save Sonic's life but instead adopts him as a baby and irrevocably changes history as a result.)

Whatever you do don’t think about Copia as a dad singing a soft lullaby to his baby while he gently rocks them, and when the baby smiles his heart feels like it could burst and he grows weak with emotion because he knows that his precious little bundle will be safe and loved and cared for forever
