Summary
She remembers waking up, getting breakfast, and waiting for the day to start. She does not remember falling asleep, but she does remember waking up again. Only this time, it's cold, her body is wrong (yet somehow right), and she's suspended in what feels like egg whites. Oh, and her egg-mate? Yeah, that's Ghost. The Knight. Protagonist of hit indie video game Hollow Knight. And she... appears to be in the title role. Yippee.
Alright, comprehensive plan is this:
1. don't die
2. don't let Ghost die
3. fix everythingThis'll be fun. (And by fun, well, let's just say... mental breakdown.)
Heavily inspired by FreakOfYourNature's A Not-So-Hollow Knight (self insert dies painfully and for some reason reincarnates as the Hollow Knight, then proceeds to obliterate any sense of coherence Hallownest had left), but with two key differences: One, said self insert is infinitely less aggressive, and Two, the Pale King is actually a decent person. And maybe... maybe he could even become a decent father.

Summary
When a mysterious voice begins to haunt Hornet and the still recovering Hollow Knight in their dreams, they go to the Abyss searching truth.
The good news: little Ghost survived after all and even became a god.
The bad news: somehow the Pale King is back from the dead.
The even worse news: the voice comes back to haunt them and tells them to travel beyond the borders of Hallownest to seek the Locusts - a nomadic tribe of ill repute. Since the voice refuses to leave them alone, they pack their bags and go on that perilous journey.
But how will they make it there all the way through ruins and deserts?
How will they find a tribe constantly on the move?
What will await them there?
And will the Pale Children be able to reconcile with their father?
And most importantly, who the fuck is that mysterious voice, that keeps speaking to them in their dreams? -

Summary
The first age of Hallownest has passed. The second age, rising from the ashes of the shattered infection, is only just beginning.
Ghost has lived their entire life within the walls of The White Palace, raised mainly by their mother, The White Lady. For almost as long as they can remember, they’ve had a strange connection to another young bug named Hope, who seems to live in The City of Tears with their younger sister. When an opportunity arises for them to finally see each other, it only raises a thousand new questions for both. As they begin to try and find those answers, their separate worlds start to crumble around them.

Summary
What does one do when even their most violent struggles fail them time and time again?
Well they give up something to go further back of course.
Afterall what better way is there to avert the future than to go back to a point in time in which you might be able to change it all, where strength long lost can be maintained and brought to bare against a new foe.
This would be the last time they'd return, and even if they were but an echo of who they once were, they would be giving it their all. One last time.

Summary
“Hornet? Like, from Silksong?” she said, eyes widened. There was no way this was real. “I’m in Pharloom?”
Silver laughed, the pain in her side momentarily forgotten. “This is amazing! Wait, no. This is, uh, pretty bad actually.” Her voice lowered into a mumble. “All of the endings are super dangerous and… the Void… Grand Mother Silk… ooh, this is bad, isn’t it?”
She glanced around with the look of someone who knew it wasn’t going to end well. “This is, like, really bad. Pharloom ends up getting wrecked no matter what you do.”
OR
A human girl falls into the world of Silksong, as per the title.
The thing is, she's read the wiki, watched the playthroughs and knows how it all ends.
But Hornet doesn't know that.CURRENTLY AT: Act 1
UPDATES: inconsistently; but currently I'm on a roll with this so maybe... once every few days(?)

Summary
Updates every other Saturday unless it doesn't.
(Spoilers for "Vessel for the Radiance" ahead)
The sealing has ended. The sun rose once more. Now it’s time to face the broken world left behind.
Hollow hadn't thought they would survive this. They had bargained with everything: with the story of their creation they were never supposed to share, with the life they were never supposed to have, with the love they were never supposed to feel... And lost.
The fact that they lived through it seems the cruelest fate of them all. But they will try to bear it. For their sister. For their love.Noon is trying to piece together his fractured reality. He knows the truth about the infection now, just like everyone in Dawnbreak. He had faced his mother, his creator, his god for that truth, and there is no going back. Nothing will make the world right again.
But he can’t fall apart now. His land needs him… Hollow needs him.Hornet just wants to go home. Even if she doesn't know where home is. Even if her father is missing and her mother... She won't think about her mother.
It doesn't matter. She had gotten this far. She will finally bring her sibling home, and she will fix all of this.Series

Summary
Things… change.
Ghost supposes that many would probably say that they get better. They do get better, don’t they? Yes, they do. Things change, and they are better. The Infection is gone, and Hollow is safe, and Hornet is happy, and so Ghost is fine. Perhaps they are selfish, and they mourn a dying world that they can never return to, and they are more alone than ever before, but they’ll get over it.
…And it’s not as if anyone will notice if they don’t.
Ghost goes back in time, kills the Radiance, and sets everything right. They tell no one, and do it on their own. It is only after their family is happy, and the kingdom is safe, and the Abyss is soothed to sleep, that they realize just how lonely it is as the last remaining piece of a future never to be.

Summary
A Castle with Darkness at its core, a lost power over shadows.
Not much was known about Prince Ghost. Only people in the palace knew what he looked like and even his name he was The Prince or The Knight to most common folk. He had made no relevant change nor participated in the army or anything like that but he was known for one thing, his shadow magic, there are rumors he has even summoned a shade though no one has seen it, not even the king.
