Here's a play-by-play of her experience, as well as the lasting trauma it causes :) -

Summary
You, an outcast from the Mantis tribe -once considered a warrior and now a traveler- meet Hornet. You immediately hit it off with her and become fast friends. After a few travels, you discover that there is a world: a kingdom above ground.
Follow as you and Hornet learn of your unmistakable lineage in a journey of self-acceptance and discovery.This does not follow the story line of Hollow Knight, even though it takes place in a time during the infection. This is before the Knight escapes the pit and after the sealing of the Hollow Knight.
(Hopefully, that isn't offensive to any that have actually finished the game lol) -

Summary
An In stars and time AU that takes a different turn from the original- Loop doesn't change into a star, or at least, not yet. Siffrin still meets Loop after the very first death, in which he learns that there is another failed version of himself trapped under the Favor Tree within that timeline. This version -the prototype of themself- is aggressive, brash, and cruel (with an unexplored/unexpected soft side). Watch from beginning to end as the two grow close between the loops and see what happens once Loop disappears.

Summary
Sunny has always had the specific skill that allowed him to be more empathetic. How could he not, when he could tell exactly what everyone's feeling and why? This inhuman ability enhanced since getting out of the hospital, after telling the truth. Now, he's going into the minds of his friends to try and alleviate their grief once and for all.
Basil knew it was selfish. He hadn't been able to help himself at the time, merely wanting an object of comfort. A lock of hair. Mari's hair. The only living memory of the horrible act he'd committed. In his own twisted way, he didn't regret what he'd done. At the same time, it can be connected to her death. A clear, obvious sign; and now the authorities are onto him.
"Don't worry Sunny. I won't ever let them hurt you! Now, and forevermore!" -

Summary
Lace's understanding of the common bug, or really any bug, was not perfect. But she knew a few things, a few basics that she had picked up over the many years. Bugs needed to eat.
How fortunate, then, Lace had a little spider to study.- Language:

Summary
You knew Hallownest was dangerous. You knew Deepnest was even more so.
You, ah... didn't expect to run into Nosk.
AKA: I wanted to write eventually-friendly Nosk. A bit OOC on Nosk's part, obviously, but I desperately wanted to see someone befriend the local fauna.
