Summary
The pale light above disappeared in a sudden rush of darkness, flooding the already pitch cavern in blackness like the void itself. A wave of unnerving silence swept over the abyss.
They could still see. They could still see how their siblings still climbed, how they still fell and broke their fragile frames on the sharp spikes and rocks below. Useless motions now that the light was gone, only filling the floor with the bodies of thousands of dead newly born lives.
Stop! The light is gone! STOP!
The others didn’t listen. They still climbed.

A little bug wanders, all alone in the world, with only the voice inside their mind to guide them through the dark. They search for what they do not know, and what they do not have.
And maybe, just maybe, along the way, they will find the family they lost in the beginning of it all.

Summary
Death was not the end. For the Wyrm, it was ascension. For you, it was a cruel rebirth into a dying world - unchanged and laid bare.
Hallownest stands at the height of its splendor, yet a rot stirs beneath its polished surface. A mind-eroding plague spreads in silence, and in this rising sickness, the humanity that should have damned you instead gives you value.
To deny the desperate bugs is to shatter their hope. To accept is to invite a disaster born of faith. How do you survive a kingdom that admires the mediocrity you curse, and whose belief might just make their delusion real?

Summary
A human exploration salvager and their compact drone robot wander the ashlands in their arachnid warwalker. Their exploration takes a massive turn when the cliff gives way and the retrofitted war machine falls in a heap, broken and partially unresponsive. With nothing more than the supplies and equipment inside the warwalker, the duo must explore to repair their craft and get help.
Little did they know, their entrance would kick off a brand new alternate path forward in containing the dream infection within Hallownest. The Pale King, one who has regretted and in desperation created the hollow knight to contain the Radiance's disease, still wonders if there is a path without this much sacrifice.
Can the two newcomers survive, blend in and make themselves obscure, or will the human's skill in creating hollow and emotionless engines make him too enticing for the King to ignore?
(Heavily inspired by BubbleBtch's Hoops, String, and Other Placebos, Hallownest Eternal by Chrystarii, and Moth from the Wastes by MumblestheMoth)

Summary
There’s a person crouched in the trees above him.
Shaggy, short white hair drifts in lazy waves against porcelain pale skin, and the red marks that slash across his sharp cheekbones are punctuated by the impossibility of soft, fuzzy white and gray furred ears that adorn the sides of his face. His pupils- framed by white lashes that match his hair- are the same shade as the marks, as Madara’s still active sharingan that he's staring down without hesitation.
He's beautiful, and Madara is absolutely, undoubtedly in love.
And he is also dripping lake water like a bedraggled house cat while pathetically gaping at the most beautiful person he’s ever seen.
Damn.
