Summary
This was inspired by watching some incredible Fury of the Fallen/Steel Soul fights on Youtube. It got me thinking: What kind of Vessel would choose that path?
In this version of events, all the vessels share a connection through their Void nature and can feel what is happening to each other to some extent. This vessel is not Ghost… but it might be the vessel that answers the call after all the heroic Ghosts have failed.

Summary
Equipped with his wayward compass and a kiss from his wife, Cornifer is ready to set out on another mapping expedition into the ruins of Hallownest. What will he find--and who will he meet--along the way?
This fic started as me wondering "How exactly did Cornifer get to all the weird corners of the map you find him in game?" and evolved into an excuse to indulge in all the environmental details and underappreciated side characters packed into the game.

Quirrel assists Ghost in the fight against Uumuu, but when things take a tragic turn Quirrel finds himself trapped in the Teacher's Archives with what he can only describe as the ghost of a Ghost.
Or, my attempt to narrativize the shade/death mechanic in Hollow Knight, and a character exploration of how Quirrel would deal with it.
