    Summary

    The Hollow Knight was created as the Vessel for a god. To restrain Her, against all odds. To keep Her light from Infecting the country.

    The Hollow Knight failed.

    Though it lives still, it is feeble and weakened, stripped of a purpose, of the very thing that it was created to do. In absence of its siblings, it guards Hallownest, a glorified boundary marker until the day something may strike it down.

    Or, perhaps, until something gives it a new path to follow.

    Summary

    Astotheles figured that if he extended an olive branch to the Ant Kingdom and helped them out with their mission, they might pay the favor back and help his people.

    Mothiva needed to spring back after her blowup with Zasp, and if she could nab one of the artifacts, it'd secure her position in the Explorer's Association and the fame that comes with it.

    Hoaxe found himself fighting for survival, exiled from the only home he had ever been accepted in after a plan to improve his life and get the respect of his peers went awry.

    And the Ant Kingdom shuddered as it realized that its best hope of finding the Everlasting Sapling lay in the hands of a bandit, a diva, and a sneaky little mimic.

    "I said I would change. I promised myself and him. But...I just don't know if I can change the kind of person I am when it's all I ever was."

    After two long years, Mothiva finds herself at a crossroads. Between keeping herself isolated or returning to the Ant Kingdom and helping Bugaria from the chaos she left behind, she fears her toxic nature may once again appear when faced with conflict. But with the idol scene she left behind in her explosive retirement, she feels obligated to join the fray and sort the mess the cutthroat culture has produced.

    But, who is she now? Will she wear the mask, or face Bugaria with who she really is?

    Summary

    Zasp heads to Team Snakemouth’s home in order to apologize for some of the things he did on the quest for the sapling. Unfortunately it seems most of the team is away at the moment, but Leif seems happy to have him over nonetheless. Surely spending some time alone with the (admittedly rather handsome) moth whose life he saved less than a moon ago, won’t have ANY unforeseen consequences… right?

    Summary

    “I heard a story,” Mothiva suddenly said, drawing everyone’s attention once again. She pointed a dainty claw at Vi while her hips rocked to one side, “about you, Vi. When I went on tour to the Bee Kingdom, I noticed the bees seemed to know your name.”

    Vi froze.

    “A famously exiled bee?” Mothiva seemed to have sensed she had found a sensitive nerve within the other bug. “It makes me wonder what you might’ve done to end up hiding away in the Ant Kingdom.”

    “I heard from a guardsdrone…” she smiled, every ounce of genuine malice and guile dripping from her voice like spoiled honey. “That you had a sister.”

    And Vi snapped.

     

    ||Or, a darker Bug Fables AU where the bee kingdom is not what it seems.||

    Summary

    Team Snakemouth may have found all the artifacts, may have braved through the Deadlands, and may have won the Wasp King in their second encounter until he dirtily threw a grenade at them and rushed to the Everlasting Sapling.

    Yet when the Wasp King opened its container and saw the Sapling's luxuriant, majestous visage, and in front of their eyes consumed several of its leaves, and burnt it down before they could even think about using its power, all three of them could feel none of their previous feats would mean anything compared to this.
