Summary
Noel knows he is going to die one day. Except, when he walks into what he is sure would be certain death, he survives, somehow, as always, crawling to another day. Tossed to the side before he can even take a dying breath, Noel finds himself thrown from the Order of the Fallen Star back to the one place he’d sworn to never see again: the Dreamlands.
Yellow knows he is going to be King one day. But just before he could grab ahold of the power he deserves, the only power he had ever even had the chance to take for himself, Yellow wakes up in an unknown land with a dying Larson at his side— and in his own body.
Together, Noel and Yellow know that they're fucked.
Both are trapped in a land that one calls Hell, and the other home, and neither can agree on. A strange power keeps them bound together and unable to part ways, and so without a choice, they must find a path forward, even if they cannot agree upon which path that is. No matter where they head or what challenges they face, they’ll have to find out whether they will drag each other to the depths and suffocate, or if they can manage to lift each other’s heads above the water and swim to shore.

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
The Lernaean Hydra (Ancient Greek: Λερναῖα ὕδρα, romanized: Lernaîa Húdrā), more often known simply as the Hydra, is a serpentine monster in Greek and Roman mythology. The Hydra possessed many heads, the exact number of which varies according to the source. Later versions of the Hydra story add a regeneration feature to the monster: for every head chopped off, the Hydra would regrow two heads. To prevent this, as Heracles severed each mortal head, Iolaus was set to the task of cauterizing the fresh wounds so that no new heads would emerge.
Or, alternatively: A peek into the moment when Harriet begins seeing Jeanne less like a monster, and more like the neighbor she never properly got to know.
