Summary
We have a story to tell.
It is a story of five gods and four hearts; of their lands, champions, and children. Of their wishes, for survival or control; of the burdens they placed upon others. Of their regret and hatred, but of their hope and love in equal measure.
Of the Vessels they crafted to hold these things.
This is our story, as the daughters of Hallownest and Pharloom. We tell it for those who have found their peace.
We tell it in memory of the third child.
It is our duty,
As Sisters of the Void.Excerpt from Memoir of the Daughters
The Pale King casts off his shell in the land of the Old Hearts, far away from the Light that would become his enemy and the Pale Root that would become his wife and queen. That Hallownest is not the kingdom he claims.
Grand Mother Silk spreads her web in that distant domain instead. And in that land of four gods, only one beacon may shine against the dark.The Kingdom Swap AU. Where most things still happen (including Hornet, a Hollow Knight, and Act 3).

Summary
Five Pebbles dies, and then wakes again.
Bugs that walk and talk with god-given sapience, and an orange rot that’s spread throughout the entire facility grounds. What iterator could be so irresponsible as to let such an experiment waste away? On who’s grounds has he landed?
He is no bug, and this is no maze. Oh, what is a machine to do?
(in the meanwhile, the bugs look at this creature- pink, long, with too-rigid antennas and no mandibles to speak with yet so many things to say, and they see a remnant of their king. They do not realize that perhaps his kind are closer to vessels than to gods.)
TL;DR: angry calculator god in a world of bugs. Assumptions are made.
