Summary
The Pale King made many mistakes in dealing with the infection. A pacifistic Wiccan who died grieving in the cold is given a second shot at life in his place, as well as an answer to the question:
"What would you do differently if you were the Pale King?"
How can one person who knows they aren't strong enough face down the heart of the infection? A witch will just have to be a good deity to the land or die trying.
This is a standalone fic; you do not have to read part 1. Consider this as a Luigi to GC's Mario. Similar stories, but with very different protagonists.

Summary
Instead of my old, pale, acne-ridden, bespectacled visage, a pristine, bone-white Vessel head stares back, with a pair of dorsal fin-shaped horns situated on each side of the head, the tips flaring up and out like wings. If they could, my eyes would’ve widened as I recognized the face and realized my situation.
I’ve just been reincarnated as the Greenpath Vessel, or Mothwing Vessel after the very cloak that the Knight picks up off of my future corpse.
“[Unamused realization] Ahh…fuck. (Already-done-with-this, this-is-gonna-suck)”
“[Query] What’s a ‘fuck’? (curious)”

Summary
Can Hallownest truly be helped? In the form of the Pale King, a child has no choice but to try, if only to avert the tragedy that would take place if it didn't. Plus, it sucks at pretending to be the Pale King anyways.

A Not-So-Hallowed Nest by 20percent, FreakOfYourNature, growingCataclysm, selachimorphicBibliophile, The_Chronomancer
Fandom: Hollow Knight (Video Games)
25 Dec 2024
Summary
Two vessels, two timelines, two chances.
In one universe, the Pale King's foresight shows him the past. In another, it shows him the future. This difference causes a butterfly effect no one could have predicted. In one universe, a Vessel lives, and everything proceeds as it has been: completely FUBAR. In another, a Vessel is killed, another is born, and the situation is still completely FUBAR, but for a completely different set of reasons.
EDIT: FOYN (AKA Fyn) here to clarify, both our stories share a root universe and a lot of their lore, but things do diverge, with growingCataclysm's story taking place in my AU. So, NSBV is an AU of an AU essentially. growingCataclysm's story starts somewhere during NSHK 20th chapter, but events began to diverge in the background of NSBV before then. Not all lore elements are the same, though they are similar.
Our stories do not interact with each other otherwise, and though NSHK does not strictly need to be read in order to understand NSBV, it does provide a lot of the background details and some context. NSHK is completely independent from NSBV and will not be interacting with the plotline of NSBV, aside from maybe an easter-egg or cameo Stan-Lee-style.

Summary
What would you do, in the Pale King's robes? How would you make things right? How would you deal with Radiance and the infection? Could you change the fate of Hallownest? Two very different protagonists give it a try.
The stories are written as companion stories; they can be read separately or in any order. Consider it a Mario and Luigi situation.

Summary
Three brush strokes to the right. Two to the left. A hand smoothing over his forehead, sweeping his bangs aside.
Shadow Milk knows the pattern well. His hair is always brushed the same way, in movements that seem almost robotic in how perfectly they’ve mastered the repetition. The bristles of the brush always skim over his closed eyes with such care, nimbly avoiding anywhere they might prick or poke. It always ends with a few final touches, tucking any stray wisps back into place before the brush is set back down on the dresser before him.
Pure Vanilla’s hands smooth through Shadow Milk’s hair, coming to rest gently on his shoulders.
“There. Ready for the day?”
Shadow Milk does not answer.
Shadow Milk has not answered in a long, long time.

Summary
The Gang goes on tour with the Grateful Dead - hijinks ensue. You don't have to listen to any of the music linked in this fic, or like the Grateful Dead, or even know who they are. But I do hope that at one point as you're reading, you listen to just one song, and you shift your eyes to the side a little bit, stare blankly at the wall across from you in whatever room you're in. Forget the lyrics, pay attention to the music. Push away all the other noises in the room, in your head, and listen.

Summary
You pass away abruptly, and you manage to lose everything.
Then you're thrusted into another body, into another life.
You become Sans, yet something is wrong. It isn't fun, thrilling nor what you dreamed of. It is war torn, violent, unforgiving and everything goes wrong. Papyrus hates you.Then from war you end up in a basement face to face with better alternates. Your memory is hazy and LV high, how will you deal with papyrus ignoring you, and the weight of your sins? How will you control yourself?
You won't be able to hide from your alternates for long, and they're strangely pushy. Life seems to hate you, doesn't it?-
HAITUS due to life issues, possible rewrite when I can pinky promise

I suck at naming things.
Hello hello!
This is VERY MUCH ANGST for an event called Touma Tuesday on Tumblr!
I suggest checking that out, since it's so so fun. https://no-psi-nan.tumblr.com/post/672467455676923904/touma-tuesday
Saikechi, but more in the platonic sort, though it could be interpreted as a crush? But yeah, this takes place when they're kids, so no actual romance, hehehe...
Thank you for reading!
☺
