Summary
What it says on the tin, basically! Oro adopts Lost Kin. Includes: fights to eat food, trying to sit still, writing lessons, nail lessons, bubbles, gambling (Oro literally teaches Lost Kin to gamble), honey, and lots of cuddles and hugs. This is a parent-raising-a-child story, and everything in this story is gen. It's about familial relationships and love, so all intimacy is familial and platonic in nature.
I PROMISE that, while there is sadness and tragedy, there WILL be a happy ending! I couldn't emotionally handle it myself, so while I love writing hurt, there will always be comfort and fluff to follow. :)
(I recommend obtaining the Dream No More ending before reading this in order to avoid any unwanted spoilers. Chapter one does have an on-screen suicide, but you can skip that by jumping to the end of the Hollow Knight poem.)
Misc Notes:
*Lost Kin is the main character, but they do not have a name for its majority. Most, if not all 'they/thems' refer to, well, them. :)
*The watchful one is Ghost/The Knight, who we play as in game
*The gentle one is the Greenpath VesselSeries

Summary
If Hythlodaeus were in charge of writing the First’s history books, he would have started with the Flood’s end.
He’d spend the first chapter detailing the incredible, awful process of Light sickness, and how it corrupted frail soul shards into pure unidentifiable energy. He would’ve given a nod to Mitron and Loghrif for messing up so badly that the First’s inhabitants were nearly lost to eternity.
After that, he would list out the fifteen best songs native to the First, and note which ones he was personally good or bad at performing.
( In which Hythlodaeus is a reformed Ascian, allegedly; and the Exarch learns to live with that, maybe. )

Summary
It isn’t the Sundering that breaks them.
It isn’t Zodiark’s summoning, the Convocation voting for sacrifice upon sacrifice, using their people as fuel for a god to save them. It isn’t even their failure, time and again, to protect their people and do their duty and stop the Final Days. No, in the end, what breaks them is something- so much smaller, in the grand scheme of things, it almost feels like an insult. Just one more casualty to the calamity their lives have all become.
It isn’t supposed to happen.
Azem's descent into grief begins during the Final Days with the loss of two of the three people they love most on the star. Thirteen thousand years of empty despair follow.
