Summary
A mind to think.
A will that refused to break.
A voice that refused to cry suffering.
A kingdom that refused to die.
A family that might be there.(Tldr: what would happen after an Ending 5 run where the Knight ignored many things from the perspective of the Hollow Knight as he comes to terms with the world around him)

Summary
They’d be scarce to believe in an era of freedom from the infectious higher being, to find themselves freed of their burdens at last, yet alienated all the same.
When they awoke from their long slumber, they found themselves tended to in a quiet town. From there, they learned of what followed after the fall of the Radiance, the orchestrator of their father’s kingdom.
They learned of their sister’s disappearance.
A call, a cry from the Abyss far below, urged them to find her, to seek her, to save her.
And so, Hallownest watched as its last living survivor, the once-esteemed Hollow Knight, departed of their own accord, by their own will—
—To search for their sister.
Or: The Hollow Knight journeys into the world of Pharloom in search of their sister’s whereabouts, and in doing so, begins to learn what it truly means to be more than a Vessel.

Summary
There is an inherent flaw to tying fate to sapient beings, and when the scale of such a tie is multiversal, the consequences can quickly become dire. From the moment of his shattering at Fate’s hands, the Destroyer has been one half of the Balance meant to keep these consequences at bay – it is a vicious cycle, Creation’s ignorance begetting pain, suffering, and insanity, and with their mutual creator’s spiteful determination to keep the status quo, it’s only a matter of time before he breaks under the strain.
But while this god is resigned to his fate, one of the Powers that Be, one that watches over him, decides to take matters into her own hands. She will free him from Fate’s web, no matter the cost. Even if it means working under the nose of her more spiteful counterpart for centuries upon centuries. Even if it means striking a deal and giving her chosen to another higher being, something incomprehensible and terrifying that defies her understanding of the cosmos, with unknown plans in store for him.
It is fortunate, then, that this higher being understands the pain that comes of being chained to a Purpose, and refuses to inflict that same pain unto another so much like itself.

Summary
Finally, the first light of civilisation any of the marching bugs had seen in months was visible just over the horizon. The ringing of the bells halted, as the group’s leader stopped. A sign infront of them had only one character they understood, and even then it was written in a foreign style. But the character revealed that they had finally reached their destination: The Kingdom of the White Wyrm.
The veiled bugs picked up the runed cage again, and the bell chimes continued in rhythm to their march.

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.
Disclaimer: This is an intensive character study and an extremely long-form fic, covering the events of Dryya's very long life from the birth of Hallownest to long after its fall. Slow burn. Extensive flashbacks. Read the tags.

Summary
After five years of being stuck in a dream, a vessel named Ghost wakes up in an unfamiliar place with a strange talisman in their claws. They quickly get knocked out by a guard, but not before they see a flash of a memory that's not their own—and has the scent of a missing sibling. And that talisman activates when it comes in contact with the memory. Meanwhile, a princess named Hornet secretly watches a guard knock out an intruder who shares the scent of a lost sibling—and she can't stop herself from rescuing them.
Ghost's talisman has just activated a trail of memories that only four can see—Ghost, Hornet, a former knight named Senti, and an unwanted heir named Phantom. Each has been desperate to find a sibling (or siblings) who disappeared five years ago, and as it turns out, this memory trail was left by those very siblings. Following the memories, these four must work together to travel across the kingdoms of Hallownest and Pharloom and uncover the truth—and they will set off a chain of events that will shake this world to its core.
Or: I forced my current four favorite characters (Ghost, Hornet, Phantom, and Second Sentinel) to party up, then sent them on a quest to find their siblings

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)) -
