To Bind Our Echoes That We May Be Whole [Comic] by fireflysummers_ao3
Fandoms: Hollow Knight (Video Games)
24 Jun 2026
Tags
Summary
The apocalypse has come and gone, and against all odds, Pharloom remains standing. The time has come for Hornet to return to Hallownest, accompanied by friends and allies: Shakra hopes to explore the mythical land beyond the wastes, and properly lay to rest a member of her own tribe; Lace fears unraveling without the aid of a Weaver, while contending with the immensity of a future free of her mother’s threads; and the Green Prince lives only only to spite the Citadel, passively seeking a more honorable end than might be found in the rubble of his homeland.
Meanwhile, Hornet returns from Pharloom with magic and knowledge that might aid in the slow recovery of Hallownest and Deepnest–and perhaps offer the chance to call home the sibling she once thought lost to her forever.

Summary
Hornet, desiring nothing more than to relax amidst the still corpse of her kingdom, is pursued by a tribe foreign to Hallownest's borders. Further from home than she has ever been, she must learn to fend for herself amidst a civilization of wasps. As soon as she finds a way, she will flee from this village with haste... What reason would she ever have to stay in a place such as this?

Summary
The journey of a vessel who escapes the slaughter of their kin and makes it out into the wider world beyond Hallownest; the trauma of the events and a stubborn denial making them promptly forget their past and their siblings.
An unknown force calls them back to the kingdom of their creation, and they’re torn between investigating the strangely familiar visions and sights that plague them, and burying it deep in the recesses of their memory yet again; all the while meeting people on the way and trying to navigate the unsteady waves of friendship.

A Quality of Mercy by Shirley_Exception
Fandoms: Hollow Knight (Video Games), Hollow Knight: Silksong

Summary
Runt hatched the last of Huntress's brood: small, weak, and destined to die in the harsh wilds of Pharloom without the support of the brood. That's just how the world works, nature red in tooth and claw. But sometimes, a completely different world reaches out a helping claw. A foreign stranger introduces the little hunter to another way to live, where "I" is not weak without "us," and people have more to offer than the strength of their shell alone.
*****
Decades after the defeat of the Radiance, the Abyss is at peace and the rebuilding of Hallownest has ushered in a new era of stability, one free of divine machinations. Until Hornet is taken. The Hollow Knight mounts a rescue only to find their efforts unnecessary and not entirely welcome. They just want to go home. Too bad there's a pesky little apocalypse standing in their way, and a wild Pharloom bug intent on treating them like some sort of... role model.

Summary
One month after @hawks_unofficial's initial viral post, the blog titled "Quirk Analysis Blog for the Future", otherwise known as "Q. A. B.", has gone from an average of 10 views per post to an average of 20,000 views per post.
Midoriya Izuku does not know how to view the impressions analysis for his suddenly popular blog, and only notices that sometimes, people actually comment on his posts now. He does not google himself or his moniker and thus does not see the rise in online articles and speculation.
He is unaware that the "kyuu-ei-bee" he begins to hear about in passing refers to his own blog. He does not have a Twitter account.
At the time, Midoriya Izuku is 15 years old.
Izuku (accidentally) starts a cult.

He Says He Is An Experimental Theologian by ErinPtah
Fandoms: Welcome to Night Vale, His Dark Materials - Philip Pullman
05 Feb 2021
Tags
Summary
Ever since Carlos was little, he and his daemon have been fans of Dr. Lyra Belacqua. Both as the most groundbreaking experimental theologian of the 20th century, and as the heroine of dozens of fantasy-adventure children's stories (based very loosely on her own mysterious childhood).
But Lyra's true legacy is still bigger than Carlos ever imagined...until he took a team of scholars to study Rusakov particles in the most theologically interesting community in Hispania Nova. Now his own day-to-day life is full of things like angels, witches, hooded spectres, portals between worlds, vague yet menacing branches of the Magisterium, and a man who walks around without his daemon and can read an alethiometer as easily as a stop sign.

Summary
(machine translation) The skyscraper overhead seemed endless. The morning sun was hidden somewhere behind it, leaving me in the shadow of this industrial grandeur. Or maybe it was just vanity. I always wondered why it was so prestigious to work in a giant glass box among other glass boxes in the heart of the city.
