Summary
They say it is in a moth’s nature to be drawn to a flame. They say it is inevitable she will flit through the air in a light-struck daze, drawing ever-closer to the mesmeric dance of ember and spark, before the merciless tendrils of fire reach her delicate wings and scorch away her fur.
And in her gruesome end at the hands of her desired pyre, she will not scream, nor will she struggle; for her devotion is stronger than that of the pain, and her final moments will be blissful in its warm embrace.
…But they also say some may rebel against nature if they believe themselves superior to it. Some may say the moth may turn to fire herself, and the flame will sprout her wings. That the moth may coax the blaze, leading its destruction to wherever she dances.Such rebellion is typically punished.
But Monch is yet to suffer any such repercussions.
-
A series of encounters between the Monch and the Lamb, from the perspective of the former, wherein sinister intentions and a series of secrets may be spilled… That is, if the moth’s silver tongue can be put to rest for even a moment. -

Summary
Whilst traversing Anura's humid wilderness, you find a journal on the ground, half-buried in leaf litter and mushrooms. It reeks quite heavily of decay, but no body clings to it in their departure.
Curious, you pick it up, dust it off, and take a peek inside.
It is the story of an old mycologist, just on the brink of retirement, who chose to go on one last excursion for the purposes of furthering his research.
It was indeed his last. -

Summary
Hat Kid’s re-collection of all her missing timepieces had been going just splendidly. There had been a few bumps in the road, sure, but nothing she couldn’t handle. She was sure she could get back all of them without any major hassle or truly life-altering events.
Then a very angry jar showed up in her spacecraft.AKA,
Hat Kid’s multiple interactions with the former Mafia Boss, some begrudging interactions between him and others, and an unlikely redemption happening purely due to my dissatisfaction with the canon ending and my impulsive decisions to make reality whatever I want it to be. Featuring a whole lot of senseless banter.[[UNDER HIATUS - Likely won't be updated for a while!]]

Summary
Nosks are an intelligent species to a degree - as they're still rather feral in nature and incredibly territorial - and they have their own secret society in Deepnest. Given that they have proximity to the Pale King, it was inevitable for them to gain minds and sapience... but they still retain a hostile nature to them.
They morph and contort their bodies into makeshift lures, baiting unfortunate bugs into their traps and devouring them without a second thought. Before infection struck, they could even mimic voices.
Hunting is all that matters. Providing food is all that matters. Your territory is all that matters.One Nosk in particular, however, does not share in that sentiment.
While sure, attachments to others are unnecessary and strength is incredibly important in survival... why can't a Nosk be more than a ruthless animal? Why can't they gain honor outside of their kin? Why can't everyone know one Nosk's name?
Why can't a Nosk be a knight?Better yet... a knight of great renown?
Hmm. He likes the sound of that.Translation into Portuguese in progress!!!

Summary
[A direct continuation of "A Nagging In the Back of My Mind"]
When the new Shade Lord awakens in Dirtmouth, ready to embrace a peaceful life as a God - as much peace as they'll get with their new combined consciousness - they remember something quite important.
Their charms.
...Those are missing.Also... oh, boy! I don't remember the void being THIS loud! Where is that laughter and talk of grubs coming from?

Summary
Alright, hear me out.
The Shade Lord is the void united. In that case, it is safe to assume all former entities made of void – including all living vessels and/or their respective shades – congealed together to form said Shade Lord.
Let’s say that Ghost is at the head. They share the “mind” of the void with all other former vessels, kingsmoulds, wingmoulds, what have you.
Let’s also, for fun, go with the theory that Zote was a failed vessel.Oh, how unfortunate.

to sully a body with blackened tears by SqueakyClam

Summary
Never shall the light shine in one's eyes ever again.
An overexposure to void is fatal.
This is learned the hard way. -

Summary
The laughter that echoes throughout the City of Tears can be tracked down to a single source. A strange woman, keeping herself locked away, miraculously alive amongst the patrolling husks that fell to Infection.
Pauses in between the bouts of laughing are few and far between. If anyone were left alive to hear it, I'm sure they'd find it ghastly... especially with how unhinged and deranged it continues to get.It's a wonder how she became this way.
To put it simply, sometimes it only takes a destruction of faith to mutilate one's mind. -

"I suppose mere mortals like myself will never understand."
