Summary
Hornet woke in the Black Egg Temple to the sight of her sibling's fractured mask. For the walk from the temple's central chamber to its exit, she thought herself truly alone in the world once more.
When Hollow followed her out, she realized that wasn't so. But now she has to try and take care of her older sibling as they recuperate and learn to live in a world where they do not have to be pure, figure out what to do about what Little Ghost left of a body, and try to piece together two kingdoms which fell long ago.
Life keeps throwing her surprises, too, which does not help.
(Post-Dream No More ending, though it's fudged and mixed with the Godseeker endings some. Characters and tags will be updated as more chapters are posted.)

Summary
Hornet was not born of mutual love. Neither was Hollow. Both hatched into duty, with responsibility looming over them.
Hollow's very purpose denied them anything but the most disguised and fleeting of affections.
Yet, as they watch their father negotiate with the final Dreamer, agreeing to bring their sibling into the world so they could be sealed away and the child could lose their mother, they know their sibling's life will be different. Born into Deepnest's shadows instead of the Abyss, with a mother and a caretaker and a family at the White Palace who did not have to ensure they grew up without personhood...
There are many steps before they can meet their sibling, though.
