Xander Knuxouge 🖤🩶❤️

XANDER KNUXOUGE (my OC, aka Knuckles X Rouge fankid):

Father: Knuckles

Mother: Rouge

Other family: Nah not really, I mean they live on Angel Island, also known as the butt of nowhere.

Bio: Xander definitely has a deep-rooted sense of duty and dignity, thanks to Knuckles, but his personality mainly displays the characteristics of his mother. Xander is very clever, and can charm anyone with his smooth words. He can also manipulate almost any situation to his favor, Rouge having taught him the fine art of charisma. His mother once told him, “Charm can get you into any room. But smarts AND charm? That’ll keep you in the room.” He can get lonely up on Angel Island (though he’ll never admit it), but Rouge let him sneak along on some of her G.U.N. missions for the practice and to get him out into the real world.

Sonic Legacy Chapter 1

Brock stared expectantly at the door, barely containing himself. It was all he could do to keep himself from bouncing as he awaited the arrival of his cousin, aunt and uncle. Not only that, but once they arrived the entire party would set off for a reunion of his parents’ closest friends. Brock had heard so much about those heroes of his parents’ glory days and wanted to find out for himself how many of the incredible stories were true.

Perhaps all of them.

A soft, padding sound drew his attention, and his pale blue ears flicked towards the sound. He looked over to see that his father’s bright red shoe had begun to tap against the floor, swiftly and smoothly. A glance at Sonic the Hedgehog’s face revealed it to be impassive, however, so Brock knew this was an unconscious habit. He turned his gaze back to Sonic’s foot before looking at his own. He gingerly lifted his toe before letting it fall to the ground.

Tap.

Brock cocked his head, surprised at how much he liked the sound. He tried again.

Tap. Tap.

A goofy grin overtook his face as his ears twitched in pleasure. He sped it up, smile spreading.

Taptaptaptaptaptaptaptaptaptap.

Sonic’s head lifted as he heard the sound, face turning the direction his ears flicked. His father’s heart swelled with pride as he saw Brock fixated on his own tapping foot in obvious pleasure. He chuckled a bit at how his son was already seeking to imitate him—even his most casual habits.

A knock at the door made the heads of both father and son jolt up.

“They’re here!” Brock didn’t care at how his voice jumped up and octave with excitement. The waiting was finally over!

Sonic opened the door to reveal the Prower family smiling behind it, Maisie diving forward to embrace her cousin. “Brock! I’m so happy to see you!”

“Hey, Maisie!” Brock stumbled backward at the force of her hug but returned it when he was stable. He gave a vigorous wave to his other two guests. “Hi, Uncle Tails! Hi, Aunt Cream!”

“It’s good to see you, kid!” Tails came over and marked Brock’s height on his chest. “You’re getting bigger by the day!”

Brock puffed out his chest. “You really think so? Do you think I’ll be as tall as Dad?”

Tails chuckled. “I didn’t think it was possible. But at this rate I’d say you’ll pass him.”

“You’re getting so handsome, Brock!” Cream came over and pulled Brock into a hug.

“Thank you, Aunt Cream!” Brock nuzzled against her before hearing a very familiar call. He looked behind her to see two chao flying happily around the doorframe. “You brought Cheese and Iris!”

“Chao! Chao!” The creatures flew over to Brock and head-butted him happily.

“Couldn’t leave them behind, now could we?” Cream smiled at the chao.

“What about Chocola?” Brock’s eyes searched for the brown chao.

“She went with Grandma Vanilla and Grandpa Vector.” Maisie answered, “You’ll see them at the reunion.”

Cream turned to Sonic. “By the way, Sonic, where’s Amy?”

Sonic jerked a thumb behind him, “Give you one guess. Hey Ames! The Prowers are here!”

A frantic voice rang out, “What? Already? I’m almost done!”

“Are you sure…”

“Don’t you dare rush me, Sonic the Hedgehog!”

“I wouldn’t dream of it, dear!” Sonic winked, a smile playing on his lips.

“I’ll go back to check on her. I could use a touch-up before we go, anyway!” Cream darted back towards the masters room before disappearing inside.

“Great. Now both of them have to get ready before we go.” Brock grumbled.

“Now, Brock! Your mother and aunt just want to look their best.” Sonic grinned, eyes adopting a dreamy look. “And honestly I can’t complain.”

“It’s fascinating how females consistently fail to allot the proper amount of time it takes to pamper themselves.” Tails shrugged. “I learned to just go with it. Learn from the expert, Maisie. Always start early.”

Maisie giggled. “Sure, dad.”

“Mom’s been waiting for so long to catch up with Mrs. Rouge and Mrs. Blaze, I’m sure she wants to make sure everything’s perfect.” Brock leaned closer to Maisie to whisper, “Do you think it’s true that Rouge was a treasure hunter AND a spy? Or that Blaze can control fire?”

“I heard that Blaze is a queen, and her husband Silver can move things WITH HIS MIND!” Maisie whispered loudly back, “And that Knuckle’s fists have actual spikes on them and that they’re HUGE!”

“I assure you that all of that is true.” Sonic cut in, and Maisie and Brock sheepishly looked up to realize that they hadn’t been as quiet as they thought. “However, as cool as all of that is, Maisie, you know your old uncle is the fastest thing alive!”

“But dad, isn’t Mr. Shadow just as fast as you?” Brock asked.

“He has air shoes. That’s cheating.” Sonic took a swipe at his nose. “Besides, I’m still faster!”

“Are you ready?” Amy’s singsong voice came from behind them, and the group looked up to see Amy and Cream standing in the master’s doorway.

Sonic whistled and slid over to his wife to swing her around. “You look absolutely stunning, Ames!”

Amy smirked. “Worth the wait?”

“Definitely!” Sonic gave her a quick kiss, and Brock looked away in disgust.

“Sissy stuff.” He huffed.

“I think it’s sweet!” Maisie defended them.

“You’ve got my looks, Brock!” Sonic called, “This will be you someday!”

“No way!” Brock crossed his arms.

“Beautiful as always, Cream!” Tails smiled as Cream walked up to him.

“And you’re always handsome.” Cream reached up to smooth Tails’ white muzzle-fur.

Brock watched them all with a strained smile. Be patient, be patient, be patient he thought to himself. Unconsciously, his foot began to tap.

“Well, team?” Sonic looked around at his crew. “Ready to go?”

“Yes!” Brock practically skipped over to his dad. “I was born ready!”

“Alrighty then!” Sonic ruffled his son’s fur affectionately. “Let’s roll!”

Xander straightened his jacket collar in the mirror, giving his reflection another examination. He smirked at himself and reached up to style his fur.

“Xander? Are you almost done?” Xander almost laughed at the impatience in his father’s voice.

“Almost!” He called back, picking up his bottle of styling gel.

“That’s what you said ten minutes ago!” Knuckles grumbled.

“Give him a minute, Knuckles.” He heard his mother croon.

“Don’t encourage him, Rouge. Punctuality shows respect, and we’re going to be late if he…”

“Done!” Xander opened the door and grinned at his parents.

“You look so handsome, Xander!” Rouge reached out to smooth down Xander’s sleeve.

“Just want to make a good impression.”

“That’s my boy!”

“I don’t see what all the fuss is about.” Knuckles cut in. “We are going to show respect to our fellow allies and nothing else.”

“Will there be any cute chicks there?” Xander drawled.

“How would I… THAT’S NOT THE POINT!” Knuckles growled. Behind him, Rouge grinned and gave Xander a wink and a thumbs up.

“Relax, Father. I’ll be sure to be on my best behavior.” Xander gestured to the door. “Speaking of being on our best behavior, I’m sure it would be best if we left now to ensure our punctuality.”

Knuckles gave him a side-eye but nodded. “Erm… well… fine.” He turned abruptly, puffed out his chest and marched to the door, briefly halting to look back at them before exiting the room. Rouge smiled at Xander and leaned towards him to softly comment, “Don’t mind him, Xander. You know there’s a reason he lived alone on a rock before he met me.”

“I know, Mother.” One side of Xander’s lips jerked up in a cocky smirk.

“Remember that charm can get you into any room.” She flicked his chin, “But charm AND brains? That’ll keep you in the room. Now go charm the pants off them and do me proud!”

“Oh, but Mother,” Xander chuckled as they walked to the door. “You told me that most of them don’t even wear pants.”

“Slow down, Silver!” Blaze squeezed her eyes shut as Silver’s telekinesis whisked her through the air. “You know I don’t like heights!”

“Sorry, love. I’m just so excited to see everyone!” Silver slowed his pace a bit and smiled back at his wife and daughter. “And I’m excited for you to meet everyone, Amethyst.”

“As am I.” Amethyst flew faster so she could fly next to her dad. “Will there be anyone my age?”

“Well, I know Sonic has a son your age and a baby daughter.” Silver replied.

“Rouge has a son as well.” Blaze strained, eyes still tightly shut, “And Cream has a daughter.”

“There you have it!” Silver unconsciously started to speed up with excitement before a whimper from Blaze reminded him to slow down. “I’m sure you’ll all get along great!”

“I hope so, too.” Amethyst trained her golden eyes on the horizon.

“Hey, I know it can get pretty lonely in our dimension,” Silver nudged her shoulder. “But this is your chance! Good friends are hard to find, so when you do find them never take them for granted. They are your greatest strength! You will always be there for each other and in doing so will be unstoppable!”

“Good advice, Dad,” Amethyst looked down at the world going by under her, all the trees and lakes blurring together to become a pastel palette of green and blue. Life moved so fast, every second becoming a mere memory the second after it. “But I might not even see them again.”

“Oh, Amethyst!” She could hear the smile in her father’s voice. “Friendship… well… it goes beyond physical connection. There’s something truly special when you find a kindred spirit. It goes deep, knowing that wherever you are in the world or whatever you’re going through you will always have someone who understands you and cares about you. It got lonely in the future, too, but I always knew Sonic and the others would always have my back.”

“So…” Amethyst blinked, trying to wrap her mind around it. It sounded simple yet complex, and it was altogether something she had never experienced. “It’s like you can be alone… together? Is it imaginary?”

“No, its very real. But its more of a feeling and a comfort more than a familiarity. You could go for months or even years without seeing each other but when you return the feeling is just as wonderful as you remember. Even more so with the excitement of seeing them again.” Silver started to speed up again but checked himself. “I can’t wait to see Sonic and Shadow and everyone else!”

Amethyst let her eyelids flutter as she tried to think about what such a friendship could feel like. Someone who understands you? But can one ever truly understand another? There was a level of dignity and forbearance, surely, that would not be proper to cross. The princess of the Sol dimension was not one to lower herself to the level of whining to others. But perhaps there was an in-between. A time of counsel and comfort where both participants could leave the conversation feeling inspired and fulfilled.

Maybe.

Whelp, there it is! The first chapter of Sonic Legacy! One day when I was just skimming Pinterest for cute fankid photos I got the inspiration of an adventure revolving around them, so voila :D

Thanks for reading!

Like Mother, Like Son

Despite orders not to, Rouge would take Xander on some of her missions for GUN to teach him spy work. They even came up with a lie in case he got caught snooping—but he never did get caught.

Knuckles disapproved of their outings, thinking Xander’s duty was to inherit the role of the Guardian of the Master Emerald. However, Xander’s talents were too good for Rouge to pass up, so she took him anyway, and he was a quick-learner.

I hope you enjoy this drawing of Xander and Rouge! Let me know what you think in the comments, and don’t forget to check out the fanfic Sonic Legacy on AO3 :)
