    Summary

    The feeling of being lost is an odd sensation.

    It doesn't really matter if it stems from lack of purpose, lack of individuality, lack of understanding, or simply not knowing where the flippin' heck you are.

    Variants of said feeling can be caused by boredom, betrayal, puzzles, love, existential crises, video games, etcetera.

    Anyway, I bring this up because in this story, MANY of the culprits of that feeling all come together to screw one specific person over, and that's exactly how our narrative will begin.

    Disclaimer! This story may or may not use characters, species, locations, and concepts that belong to the following games. I do not own them, I just like them, hence why I am making them a story.

    Hollow Knight,
    Ori,
    Bug Fables,

    You may receive spoilers for these games in the process, most specifically later in the story.

    There Will be OCs. I will mention if a character is an OC at the end of each chapter, if there are any new ones introduced.

    (Please do not sue me deciding to publicly share the bigger space I gave my thoughts, Thanks)

    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.

    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

    Zasp isn’t a man. That’s an objective truth. So he’s been told, anyway. He shouldn’t even be thinking otherwise. Thankfully for him, he was talked out of thinking such awful things, and those feelings have gone away.
    Right?
    They were supposed to.
    But sometimes, he feels like he’s about to boil over and do something drastic.
    [renamed from “THIS WASP IS TRANS AS HELL” bc that was just a filler title until I thought of something else lmao]

      (review written - 1 september 2025)

      Super good fic about trans zasp! I think the main reason I like it so much is because of just how human the struggle is written here. Even if you aren't trans/gone through those sort of feelings before the author does a really good job of making you empathize with Zasp and the shit he be going through: there's that endless fight between what you think you have to be and who you really are under it all that's gotten across super well. Probably one of the few fics that's made me at least that lil bit emotional for it, and I think that's a #feat. Also really like the ending, it's really sweet and despite it not being all the way good for him yet zasp still knows it's good now and I will always fw that kinda shit. A bit of a long one-shot (i think it took me like an hour? but I was on my phone in my car with no bionic reader) so you might wanna set aside an hour or spend a few days taking your time with it. 100% worthwhile tho this fic is Kino!!

    Summary

    In Kur, Team Snakemouth was killed and Hoaxe ruled Bugaria with iron hands of tyranny, all eight chapters showing the hopeless despair from the dictator.

    But what if, Team Snakemouth was still alive? What if Kabbu was left alone to die in the final fight? What if Kabbu survived? How different the story will be compared to Kur with the flames of rebellion in the horizon with his spark?

    I bid you welcome to Dilmun, an alteration of 'Kur' when one small differences changes the entire outcome of Kur, creating a new tale.
