Summary
“Oh my gods,” you mutter [...] as your eyes wander back to the statue. “It's all my fault. I'm the reason that Hallownest fell.”
“What could possibly urge you to think that way?” Quirrel asks.
[...] “It's because I corrupted the Hollow Knight,” you say plainly, even though the words leaving your own mouth still astound you.
[...] “I was the Hollow Knight's lover.”Years on the outside beyond the Wastes have aged you and forged you into much more of a jaded wanderer, yet you find yourself pulled to the ruins of a kingdom called Hallownest, only to uncover that this is not your first time being here. A love from long ago had called you here, and you'll do anything to earn them back.

Summary
Dirtmouth had seen such a decline lately that going outside his house only meant for Elderbug to look at the vast nothingness ahead and think of everything that had slowly disappeared without a trace.
This routine suddenly changed in the most uncommon manner possible.
It happened in a flash, quite literally so.
Or: the story of Hollow Knight, through the eyes of Elderbug.

Summary
You and coincidence were never on the same page. A choice encounter with the so-called 'Protector of Hallownest' leaves you doubting what you know about this world. Though, you may not have to brave it alone?
An experimental story.

Summary
Hesitantly, she reaches out. Her hand stays there in a liminal space, unsure of what it wants to be. A peace offering? A middle ground? What for, she could not say. Yet there are sins that she knows she wants to atone for.
Hollow's hand clings onto hers and they search her face for reassurance. Hornet squeezes their hand tenderly in a way that she hopes gives them that.
They leap—down into the Abyss. Together.

Summary
After the demise of the Radiance, Hornet and the Pure Vessel have no destiny to work towards anymore. The Knight desires their own death, despite Hornet's best efforts, but everything gets even more complicated after the Ghost inexplicably comes back from the dead. With Dirtmouth's choice to join the Grimm Troupe, the three siblings pick a direction and start walking... only discover a new city full of intrigue and danger, with all the politicking that Hornet had wanted to leave behind - politicking the Pure Vessel was all too familiar with. As for the ghost, it merely enjoyed its stint in the land of the living, and wants to experience more of it.

Summary
Again, they feel their emptiness try to shrink and that jittery-ness in their mind activate, and before they could even register anything, the charm that's stuck on them senses the horror of its bearer and lashes out at the world around them with no target other than the general vicinity around the Knight. The unfortunate thing is, the peace-loving bug that was just walking and unintentionally triggered the ordeal happened to be in that vicinity.
Elderbug is struck by the thorns.

Summary
Desperate for freedom, the Radiance turns to her last resort: reaching out to other universes for a champion. Unfortunately, she made the wrong choice - after all, the Roaring Knight is far more likely to side with the Void.
After being caught in the Titan's fountain, the Knight finds herself in another world with most of her powers sealed. She's understandably pretty mad about this.
Ramb and (most of) the secret bosses are there too, for some reason.

Summary
The place they sit down at is eerily quiet. The cold, smooth bench is placed right where the light shines from above, the beautiful work of metal sitting abandoned in the grass.
Perhaps there were bugs and monsters, birds and prey, who sat upon this bench at some point since its creation, though it's now hard to imagine. Partly because fellow bugs know not to wander down under these parts, and also because the monsters have no mind for rest. Hornet suspects the other half– almost the greater half, it seems– is because of her companion.
The little ghost sits on the other side of the bench, unmoving. Their very presence seems to deter life.
Hm.
