    Summary

    The escape was fake. The hope wasn’t.

    Everyone’s paying for it.

    Even with his own mind fractured, Kinger is trying his best to hold the others together. Being a supportive presence is difficult when you’re barely present yourself, especially when certain people are showing all the signs of abstraction but refuse to say a word about it.

    Jax is trying to keep everyone at arm’s length, but they just won’t stop reaching and every hand feels like it’s closing around his throat.

    Pomni is still adjusting to her own digital existence as she tries to hang on to those she cares about, and Caine’s increasingly strange behavior isn’t really helping. She isn’t the only one starting to notice that their ringmaster AI has more beneath his perpetual showman’s smile than they’d ever thought to even look for.

    How do you even make an AI understand that you can’t love something into stability? That love is the very thing breaking it?

    Well, the humans are going to try anyway.

    Because what else is there?

    Summary

    Pomni had known they needed Caine. Even after everything he’d done, he was still the glue that held the circus together.

    They did need him.

    They had managed to find a gap in the void, a corner tucked away from what Pomni had seen the one time she’d managed to see the empty expanse of greys and alabaster. In that gap was the console Kinger had originally used to try and alter Caine’s code; he’d managed to salvage as much as he could before it’d been fully deleted, but Caine didn’t spawn where he’d been deleted like they’d expected. He was nowhere to be found in the circus proper.

    That only left the void.

    All they had to do was find him.

    One by one, the others got lost in the void. Pomni wasn’t sure how or why—she just had to believe that once she’d found Caine, everything would be okay.

    They’d all make it home together, with Caine.

    Whose brilliant idea was it to bring back all the Super Smash Bros. competitors AND invite 24 new fighters? It doesn't matter, because now these guys will have to live under the same roof for an entire year during the most chaotic tournament in Smash history. Nearly 90 people can live together safely under one roof... right?

    Summary

    Alicia and Beatrice meet under circumstances shaped by distance, expectation, and quiet defiance. Alicia, already carrying the weight of her family’s legacy and her own restless need for movement, encounters Beatrice not as a symbol of the Writers’ authority, but as a person who feels out of place within it. Beatrice, raised to endure rather than act, is drawn immediately to Alicia’s physical confidence, her directness, and the way she inhabits the world without apology.
    What begins as cautious curiosity deepens into trust, then into an intimacy neither of them was prepared for.
    Through shared nights, confessions, and acts of care, they come to see one another not as roles imposed by their families, but as selves still in the process of becoming. Their connection is defined less by grand declarations than by small, deliberate choices, staying, listening, holding, returning. By the time external forces move against them, Alicia and Beatrice are already bound, not by rebellion alone, but by the quiet certainty that they are more fully themselves together than they have ever been apart.

    Summary

    In a city bright with the progress of the Belle Époque, Verso lives in the shadows, grief-stricken by the 'written' fire that claimed his sister. He pours his anguish into his piano, hiding from a secret war between those who paint substance and those who write destiny.

    As a brilliant structural engineer, Gustave believes a beam fails because of stress, not sorcery. But when he begins to notice a pattern of architectural disasters plaguing Montmartre, his need to fix the flaws inadvertently threatens a powerful faction manipulating Paris from the shadows.

    Marked for death because he refuses to accept their narrative, Gustave is pulled into Verso’s dangerous world. The pragmatist and the artist forge a partnership: Gustave provides the logic to expose the lie, while Verso finds the courage to pick up his brush and shield the man who has become his tether to the world. Together, they must dismantle a conspiracy written in stone before the ink dries on Gustave’s final chapter.

    Summary

    When the Infection ended without explanation, the Dreamers arose from their slumber, and the land of Hallownest began to drag itself back to life, Hornet knew there would be troubles yet to come. With most resources scarce, many of the surviving bugs left disabled by the disease, and the vast majority of agricultural infrastructure devastated, Hallownest may yet be undone: not by a higher being, but the mortal logistics of hunger. When scouts from Pharloom arrive and attempt to capture a Weaverling, Hornet sees an opportunity to turn what could be another disaster into a chance for Hallownest to recover.

    Pharloom is, as always, starved for Silk. When the Grand Mother's wayward daughters are located, under the protection of a Wyrm, forcibly reclaiming them would be dangerous. Fortunately, Hallownest is willing to offer up its Weaver princess for marriage in exchange for supplies that can easily be spared. Accompanied only by her silent knight, such a creature will surely be vulnerable to the manipulations of Pharloom's court.

    One third political drama, one third weird sword lesbian situationship, one third Five Knights At Pharloom's Is At The Organ And Going To The Play Me.

    Summary

    When a mysterious voice begins to haunt Hornet and the still recovering Hollow Knight in their dreams, they go to the Abyss searching truth.
    The good news: little Ghost survived after all and even became a god.
    The bad news: somehow the Pale King is back from the dead.
    The even worse news: the voice comes back to haunt them and tells them to travel beyond the borders of Hallownest to seek the Locusts - a nomadic tribe of ill repute. Since the voice refuses to leave them alone, they pack their bags and go on that perilous journey.
    But how will they make it there all the way through ruins and deserts?
    How will they find a tribe constantly on the move?
    What will await them there?
    And will the Pale Children be able to reconcile with their father?
    And most importantly, who the fuck is that mysterious voice, that keeps speaking to them in their dreams?

    Summary

    “So, a little spider has managed to crawl her way through the Mist,” they speak, voice steady but with a slight roughness to it. Beneath the mask, the tiny specks of white that she'd seen before are no longer visible.

    She remains in her stance, ready to defend herself, but for a moment, she thinks that she can maybe avoid a battle this time. “So you are of sound mind,” she begins, staring directly at the silken bug. “We do not have to battle. Let us speak like reasonable bugs,”

    The figure before her laughs. “I think we both know there is nothing to talk about for the both of us,” they declare, grip on their longpin tightening. “I would expect a bug able to traverse my Mist to be more perceptive than that.”

    OR

    Hornet encounters Phantom in the Exhaust Organ, but their encounter goes... a bit differently than either of them had expected. As a bond blossoms between the two, the course of their story changes greatly.

    (ps: you can skip the porn if you want, ill add which lines to stop & start at in the notes for each chapter)

    Summary

    "Hope is like a poison, rotting the host from the inside out. Lifts you up high only to dash you against the rocks. My chum here knows all about that. Don't ya, chum?"

    The Caretaker wanted nothing more than to rot in peaceful silence within the First Shrine. But thanks to a meddlesome Bellringer, a greedy merchant, a boisterous knight, and—worst of all—a naive pilgrim named Sherma who refuses to stop singing, his solitude is thoroughly ruined.

    This is a journal of the end of days. A record of a shabby refugee camp called Songclave, of the fools who gathered there, and of a grumpy old Snail Shaman who learned, far too late, that he might actually care about them.

    Summary

    Despite his desperate attempts at a cure, The Pale King failed to resolve the atrocity of the scornful goddess.
    Desperation at the precipice of a cliff, only for guilt to constantly push him off the ledge as time passed.
    It would seem like The Radiance had won, until another entered the fray.

    A mere mortal human scientist, who finds himself in the world of Hallownest, created a cure that a god couldn't.
    An audacious being that dared to challenge the will of both higher beings and continues to be an enigma to both.
    Eluding their grasp like a shadow, unwilling to be shackled by higher powers again.

    Becoming a high-priority target to both factions.
