    Summary

    “Lies that cannot be dispelled are lies believed. In the telling of it are we set free.”

    Following an age spent bound in service to the Beast God of Silk, Lace awakens. She awakens from slumber, inflicted by defeat, her silken body wounded and mended by a claw different from her Mothers; she awakens from her possession, haunted threads, which once filled her mind with her liege and Mother’s demands, now severed; she awakens into a new age, one drowning in spider webs: the age of the Weaver Queen. Above her, she finds the trembling shadow of her former rival and last hope, the Weaver’s body warped by claiming godhood. Below, she finds a Pharloom haunted by the consequences of her past actions, by survivors, and by a trail of riddles left by the red-cloaked warrior. Is Lace caught in another web?

    Newly mortal and spiraling out of control, Lace is unable to resist the lure of an order, especially one given by the most interesting thing ever to happen to her. What remains of Hornet will lead her on a quest spanning the breadth of her now dying kingdom, force her to face the lies she perpetuated, and show her that some paths cannot be taken alone.

    Summary

    A young aspiring Shielder who dreamt of being a defender of humanity, hailing from the land of Arlenford by the name of Roland, was ripped from his home when he underwent a mission with his mentor that had gone sideways, to the strange and unfamiliar lands of Pharloom

    In the same vein, Hornet, daughter of Hallownest, was too taken to the strange land. Uncertain of the intentions of her captors, she intended to unveil the mystery herself. Mainly, how the land seemed to be drawn to the weaver side of her heritage

    With the help of one another, perhaps Hornet could learn to rely on another besides herself, and Roland could live up to his dreams of being a protector. Despite his own lack of experience

    Summary

    After Monomon's call is answered and Hallownest falls into peaceful quiet, Quirrel decides it's time to let go and makes a decision at the Blue Lake-- Where he is ambushed by a group of unfamiliar bugs draped in white and used to lure a certain half-Weaver into a trap. Now, Hornet has been whisked away to Wyrm-knows where, Quirrel is left with nothing but a bell and a cranky Relic Seeker to guide him, and a new type of horrific infection is sprouting up at an alarming rate... Maybe he still has some adventuring left in him, after all. (Or Quirrel and Lemm become unexpected best friends while Hornet beats up silk-possessed bugs in a cogwork wonderland.)

    Summary

    "Aye, our Grand Mother had another child, yes. Not of her, mind you, not like the twisted thing you've fought twice before, miss. This one was broken, an orphan. A sad, tale that. Before he realized what he'd lost that...thing, was on him. She does still love them, I believe, her children, in her own warped way."

    ...

    "I see, thank you good sir, I now know the nature of that which hunts me. Though I fear I may need to kill him before he ends me. There are few in this kingdom that can match my skill, he appears to be one of them."

    "The sad truth is, a part of him would probably welcome it, lass."

    --

    A child was discovered by Grand Mother Silk, before Pharloom started to fall. How will this change the Song?

    Summary

    “Hornet? Like, from Silksong?” she said, eyes widened. There was no way this was real. “I’m in Pharloom?”

    Silver laughed, the pain in her side momentarily forgotten. “This is amazing! Wait, no. This is, uh, pretty bad actually.” Her voice lowered into a mumble. “All of the endings are super dangerous and… the Void… Grand Mother Silk… ooh, this is bad, isn’t it?”

    She glanced around with the look of someone who knew it wasn’t going to end well. “This is, like, really bad. Pharloom ends up getting wrecked no matter what you do.”

    OR

    A human girl falls into the world of Silksong, as per the title.
    The thing is, she's read the wiki, watched the playthroughs and knows how it all ends.
    But Hornet doesn't know that.

    UPDATES: inconsistently; but currently I'm on a roll with this so maybe... once every few days(?)

    Summary

    Dylan Murphy was just a regular nerd in the outback with a firearm fixation, but after volunteering to be a test subject for the newest in cryostasis technology, his whole life was turned on its head.

    Hornet was once a defender of her home, but now she's in unfamiliar territory, weakened, and alone.

    This is the tale of how two souls can find each other in even the most unlikely of circumstances, and how new experiences can bring out the best in all of us.

    Summary

    During her travels, Hornet finds a mysterious shackle meant to bind malfunctioning automatons for future disassembly. Such a discovery would be insignificant — except more and more similar shackles keep appearing around the choral chambers, as if hunting a certain prey.

    She's not the only one who has noticed. The Second Sentinel of Pharloom remembers such shackles from ages ago — and if their suspicion is correct, it is not just themselves who is in danger from an old hunter's obsession.

    It will take both of their combined strength to combat this unseen foe…

    (…and if that draws them closer together, well. That's just a bonus.)

    Summary

    I stared down at myself. Red dress. Long black limbs. I reached up, expecting to feel hair, and my weirdly thin, spindly fingers touched two smooth curved horns.

    “No freaking way.”

    I was in the game.

    ~~~

    So what do you do when you wake up in Silksong on the morning of release day?

    Get right into saving Pharloom, of course.
