Summary
Hesitantly, she reaches out. Her hand stays there in a liminal space, unsure of what it wants to be. A peace offering? A middle ground? What for, she could not say. Yet there are sins that she knows she wants to atone for.
Hollow's hand clings onto hers and they search her face for reassurance. Hornet squeezes their hand tenderly in a way that she hopes gives them that.
They leap—down into the Abyss. Together.

Summary
Emotions left unspoken never go away. They just swirl inside of us, taking darker, heavier forms until they are finally expressed.
The Pure Vessel and Pale King have always hid any emotions they've felt for one another. But as the Pure Vessel reaches their prime form, both fear the emotions raging inside of them may be too much to control.
As they're about to learn, they are.

Summary
Due to Hornet's nature, she can push herself much further and faster than any normal bug could... but even she has to rest sometimes, or risk it happening when she least expects or wishes for it to. There are relatively few places that hold even an illusion of safety in the kingdom of Pharloom, but perhaps she can risk relying on one of the few allies she has found that can, indisputably, take care of themself.

Summary
Following the disappearance of the Infection from Hallownest, a routine patrol brings Hornet to Hallownest's Crown — where she is assailed by a trio of unknown bugs with sinister intentions. Kidnapped and brought far above the tunnels of Hallownest, she soon finds herself stranded in a world of perpetual light and open sky, far from the dark and subterranean home she has always known.
Meanwhile, the kingdoms of Bugaria grow restless, with reports of a powerful cult becoming active on their borders. As Kabbu, Leif, and Vi set out to investigate, they find themselves wrapped in a conflict that may threaten the hard-fought peace of all the four kingdoms. And who is this strange masked bug, who wields silk and needle deadlier than any sword?

Memories jeer at it, like undaunted foes.
There is no Midwife, there. There is an emaciated husk, who snaps and snarls forth, at nothing, and no one, senselessly. The husk is undeterred by her.

Summary
It defies Death. It defies Time. Void has potential without any limit. The Lord of Shades rises in Godhome after ending the plague. But really, all Ghost wants to do is to go home. They did not kill the source of the infection for not going back to Hallownest. Shade Lord or not. They would give them all a happy ending. After all, what was the point in ending the infection if not to save everyone?
Or
Ghost kills the Radiance in Godhome and becomes the Lord of Shades, never entering the Black Egg or killed the Dreamers. Now, Ghost, along with Hornet and the newly-freed Hollow Knight takes it upon themselves to help everyone recover and perhaps give this forgotten kingdom the future it deserves.

Summary
Hornet watched all who entered the old kingdom.
She tested those that might try to break its painful equilibrium.
She found one that met her strength with strength at last.
It came from two voids. It surpassed every obstacle. It was enough.
It should have been.

Hornet watched all those who entered the old kingdom. Had she only fought it twice and observed it no more than that, perhaps she would have been content.
But instead, it grew harder and harder to hope the little ghost of Hallownest was any emptier than their birth-cursed kin had been.
So how was she meant to hope it could supplant the vessel? -

Summary
After several lifetimes of stasis, somethings happened within hallownest. Visitors are appearing in greater number at the cliff outside the kingdom, and the ancient pestilence has return in full force. Hornet, daughter of hallownest, has quite a few problems on her hands; Why has a man carrying a dreamer mask challenged her at the gates of the kingdom, and what are these black creatures appearing everywhere?
An experiment of how hornet may act and perceive the world given her childhood and life circumstances, she had some fucked up role models yo. Setup for a future story about cosmic horror and futility, but that’s for much later ;p
