    Summary

    Martin finds them eventually, tapered white wax, twenty or thirty of them beside a box of ancient (but dry) matches, and a little brass dish with a slot that just about fits the base of the candle. He feels like Scrooge, fitting the whole thing together, tucking a few more into his pocket before striking a match -

    Which immediately goes out.

    “Oh, fuck you,” Martin says into the murk.

    Again -

    And again, the fire vanishes. Quick and efficient as a breath. He shivers in the sudden cold.

    ***

    Martin Blackwood inherits an old country house, but there are more inhabitants than he first realises. When eventually the paranormal occurrences become too frequent and dangerous for him to ignore, he has to turn to a group of misfit ghost hunters for help.

    Summary

    Something is very wrong in Hallownest.

    The Hollow Knight wakes up outside the Temple of the Black Egg. Hornet feels a shift in the kingdom from all the way in Greenpath. Together, the two of them discover the sacrifices each has made—and the grief neither one of them was allowed to feel.

    Hollow survives the Hollow Knight ending, though severely wounded and close to death. Against her better judgement, Hornet takes them under her care. Along the way, Hollow begins to acknowledge their emotions, and Hornet slowly discovers she's been lied to about the true nature of Vessels.

    Summary

    Gerry didn't really expect to see his nameless Spiral not-friend again, but he's not about to complain about having his life saved by it. He'll even indulge it and wander through a stupid corn maze, if that's the price he has to pay.

    ... He just wishes it would learn a thing or two about clear communication.

    Summary

    Gerry never meant to tie himself to the Magnus Institute, alright? But he never thought he'd outlive Gertrude Robinson, either, and look how that worked out. It wasn't like working for the grumpy new Archivist was the worst thing in the world - he could still prevent the rituals this way, and try to keep his fellow archival assistants away from danger, even the ones who seemed pretty convinced he was a murderer.

    (In which the Head Archivist has four assistants, a rather recognisable book-burning goth tries to hide himself beneath the Eye, and Jon should really learn to read the news.)
