Summary
A knight without a kingdom, bereft of duty, without her monarchs, is no knight at all.
Dryya wakes in the Queen's Gardens months after her death, confused and alone. The White Lady is gone. There are no more infected mantises polluting her Lady's realm, just a scattered collection of mutated wild animals. She has stood valiantly at her post for three centuries. Without her Queen, what is she to do?
Without purpose for the first time in almost a millennia, Dryya must forge herself a new one: she will reassemble her lost knights and do what she can to put the broken remnants of her King's realm back together. But much time has passed since her quasi-exile in the Gardens, and much that once was is now lost. Despite her long centuries as a warrior of unparalleled might, Dryya will learn that the toughest battles are those that come when there are no enemies left to fight.

Summary
Before Hallownest's fall, almost the birth of The Infection and the wrath of The Radiance, The Old Light. Undeniably (no matter how much they may resist), a rather.. fierce? Fiesty? Let's go with that. A rather fiesty ant, runaway and scarily (un)determined, and a reserved, inquisitive - too much so - pillbug manage to cross paths full of wailing rain. Both full of life, which waits patiently to be drained of purpose.

Summary
What would you do if there was a bug right in front of you ? "Kill it!" I might hear you say, You psychopath. Now, now, this one isn't infected in any way. It is an intelligent one. A rare specimen to find within the depth of such caverns.
And so, you decide to take it under one's wing. And perhaps, you would decide to team up, visit beautiful or devasted kingdoms, survive a tribe of cannibalist ants, escape an army of warriors ready to slay you in half with their shiny swords, and actually settle in a town somewhere together... Or maybe not. Who knows ?(For better clarification, this is a fanfiction about how Cornifer and Iselda met. There is nothing canon about it, just enjoy.
The characters and universe belong to Team Cherry from the Video Game Hollow Knight. (just in case)) -

Summary
"... The Pale King stood there in his dim workshop staring into the pit of ash and charcoal. His mind searched for words to conjure a response that the nightmarish creature could not hear, but came up empty. Perhaps the stress of his visit had finally caught up to him. He brought his hand to rub his temple and, slowly, his gaze drifted to the silver apparatus on the table next to him. The first part of the plan was complete. But as tired as he was, there was still much left to do and he was determined. A low, deep sigh escaped from deep in his chest as a thought echoed annoyedly in his mind; ‘Gods.’ "
What if the Pale King had taken a different route in snuffing out the infection? What if the Radiance fell, but persisted in a weakened form? Will she grow content with her predicament? Will she have her revenge on the wyrm or will she find her herself getting used into the life of an ordinary bug in Hallownest? And most of all, is she the same being she used to be?
Only time and trials will tell. -

Summary
Eggman’s Unobtanium scanners find a large cave system under the island. The natives are the most unfriendly people he’s ever had the displeasure of meeting.
Hornet, Hollow, Ghost, and the other residents of Dirtmouth are just trying to recover and live their lives after the Infection. When the male researcher of eggs and his automatons arrive in the pass, no one is going to take this lying down. The Grimm Troupe is being frustratingly uncooperative about the whole thing, with Grimm insisting his spawn needs time to reach it’s full power by harvesting nightmare essence itself. Luckily the Shade Lord, new god of dreams, can call for help from the surface.
(Aka ghost calls sonic up via dreams to tell him to get his ass down here. He has work to do)
