Summary
In the aftermath of Pharloom's functional collapse, a few remnants of the old kingdom linger. Some more hostile than others.
Hornet learns the hard way that the one responsible for her arrival in Pharloom was not the only one with a distinct interest in her, and that, though she has seen the breadth and depths of this kingdom's cruelty, having witnessed the remnants of that cruelty inflicted on others does not make her more resistant to its attention turning directly upon her.
Fortunately, she isn't alone in Pharloom. Unfortunately, her allies can do very little for her when they have no idea where she is, and being found by one does not necessarily mean being found by all- nor does one ally's presence make her escape complete.

Summary
With their preferred source of assistance temporarily away, Pharloom's final Architect goes looking for anyone with some basic competence. Fortunately, they do find someone.
The someone should perhaps have thought this over just slightly more.

Drained of Light (Into the Welcoming Darkness) by BSplendens
Fandoms: Hollow Knight (Video Games)
28 Oct 2025

Summary
Freeing the Hollow Knight from a mad god’s clutches is one thing; freeing them from their own self-imposed chains is entirely another. Particularly when they understand their rescue as no rescue at all, but simply another god taking those chains in hand.
Ghost did not request any of that.
Hornet, having spent the past few centuries desperately believing that all her siblings died in their eggshells, has learned the truth just in time to struggle with how to help a sibling who firmly believes that their own existence as a living thing is the most heinous of crimes.
Oro is not remotely pleased at having been pulled from his perfectly fine hut to help, and is most definitely not unusually invested here, thank you. No attachment whatsoever to someone who, despite being half-dead, still tries to make of themself a living shield. None at all.
(He’s also a bad liar.)
Friends and allies can only get you so far when someone’s greatest battle is against their own mind, and many things in this crumbling ruin of a kingdom are inclined to interfere in the matter. Not all that is dead is willing to stay dead, and the past is not content to remain in the past.
Nor are these the only Void-kin still alive.Series

Summary
Hornet finds herself with a little shadow. Not one she would have expected to see again, and not one she can bring herself to simply walk away from.
A good thing there's a convenient pool of warm water nearby. The little shadow is in dire need of a bath.

Summary
Hornet encounters a friend with a problem they can't entirely seem to solve on their own, and offers to help. If they can tolerate what she'll need to do in the process.
It's possible she misjudges how much tolerance will be strictly required.
(She does realize eventually.)

Summary
[From Tumblr]: Good cop bad cop but Jim Gordon (the good cop) is passed out from blood loss and exhaustion and Batman (the obvious bad cop) bundles everyone involved (including his kids) into a corner booth at a 24 hour diner and proceeds to interrogate the suspect over shitty diner coffee and the sounds of his kids force feeding Commissioner Gordon apple pie and french fries.
It's the most intimidating interrogation that has ever taken place in Gotham.
(or, the one where May’s Diner has seen everything Gotham has to offer at night. almost everything, at least)

Summary
In one world, Ishigami Byakuya has a son, who he showers with love and support as unending as the thousand skies that make up the boy’s name.
In another world, Byakuya has a daughter, who is just as precious and beloved to him, the same two characters present in her name.
In this world however, things are a little different.
A spin-off of my Dr. Stone genderbending longfic Etymologically Identical, starring Senku and Sora (my take on a girl version of Senku) as twins. Reading the longfic isn’t necessary to enjoy this one, but it does put a lot of my decisions regarding Sora into more context.
