    Summary

    The Hollow Knight was never intended to live.
    The Hollow Knight had never been given the chance to live.
    -
    Hornet doesn't know how to be a caretaker. Hallownest doesn't remember how to be a kingdom. The higher beings left in its dying territory don't know what to expect of the god in the Abyss.
    And through it all, a vessel that wished to be pure now doesn't know what they should be wishing for in a world that changed so much while they were contained.

    Summary

    Hornet never thought she could call the days of the infection ‘simple’, but her siblings so loved to complicate things, didn’t they? Of course, she’d never have it any other way. Even if it did mean she was a child again.

    (In a desperate attempt to escape defeat, the Radiance tries to flee through time itself. Ghost follows, taking Hornet along for the ride. But they can’t very well leave Hollow behind either now, can they?

    In which Hollow causes an international incident, Hornet wants to throttle someone, and Ghost discovers that punching the Pale King is way better when he’s actually alive.)

    Summary

    A knight without a kingdom, bereft of duty, without her monarchs, is no knight at all.

    Dryya wakes in the Queen's Gardens months after her death, confused and alone. The White Lady is gone. There are no more infected mantises polluting her Lady's realm, just a scattered collection of mutated wild animals. She has stood valiantly at her post for three centuries. Without her Queen, what is she to do?

    Without purpose for the first time in almost a millennia, Dryya must forge herself a new one: she will reassemble her lost knights and do what she can to put the broken remnants of her King's realm back together. But much time has passed since her quasi-exile in the Gardens, and much that once was is now lost. Despite her long centuries as a warrior of unparalleled might, Dryya will learn that the toughest battles are those that come when there are no enemies left to fight.

    Disclaimer: This is an intensive character study and an extremely long-form fic, covering the events of Dryya's very long life from the birth of Hallownest to long after its fall. Slow burn. Extensive flashbacks. Read the tags.
