Bugs That Lurk Underground, Your Strength Marks You Amongst Us by MaggicSorceress
Fandoms: Hollow Knight (Video Games), Bug Fables (Video Game)
27 May 2024

Summary
Both fables and legends alike speak of bug tribes that lurked deep below the surface, although any information about these bugs has since been lost to time.
Team Snakemouth knows much of fables and legends, and they know better than to completely disregard them.
However, they weren't expecting there to be more to the Forsaken Lands than the Termite Kingdom...
And the appearance of a stranger might cause them to rewrite all they knew of their world. -

Summary
Finding your way in the world with very few things to go off of can be quite confusing.
Luckily for Ghost, they have a set of family and friends to help them navigate all of its twists and turns, the good and the bad.
That doesn't make it any easier, but it sure helps. -

Summary
Ghost, Grimmchild, The Hollow Knight, Hornet and Quirrel are all sent back in time, back when the Kingdom was at its peak, back when peace wasn't foreign and where the people could live without looking over their shoulder for a predator they couldn't see.
But what to do when suddenly given a chance like this?
What can you do?
(Some major-ish changes done to Hornet in Chapter 1)

The Ghosts That We Knew Will Flicker from View by NurgleTWH

Summary
Ghost and Grimm have destroyed the concepts of space and time (at least on a local basis) and must now deal with the consequences of what it took to bring Dryya home.
Oh, and that whole Radiance situation still needs to be dealt with. Musn’t forget that. Or the Ritual. Perhaps some inner self-reflection.
(What else do you suppose they have forgotten!?)

You Saw My Pain Washed Out In the Rain by NurgleTWH

Summary
Two of the seals have been broken. A marriage has occurred. The Grimm Troupe has been summoned. The Radiance is angrier than ever.
Some of these facts are related.
Ghost and Quirrel – along with their ever-increasing circle of family and friends – forge ever onward as they try to rescue this disaster of a Kingdom that Ghost has become responsible for.
This is Part V of the ongoing series. I am nearly positive that you need to read at least Part IV for this to make sense.

Summary
A collection of small stories. Tags, warnings, and so on to be updated as needed. Please check chapter notes for specific warnings.
Chapter one: Ghost meets a couple of bounty hunters. This goes better than it usually does.
Chapter two: Ghost considers several unnerving things about their own biology.
Chapter three: Self-explanatory title.
Chapter four: Menderbug loves his job! It's gotten a little riskier lately, but he loves his job, and everything is exactly as it always has been and always will be. He's sure. Mostly.
Chapter five: Sheo has a visitor, and is very normal about this. As far as his visitor is concerned, this is the strangest possible response.Series

Summary
In one world, a ghost lingers.
It is dragged down by grief, by the weight of everyone that it has lost. It is a lonely god at the peak of the Pantheons, raining void down onto the golden glory of Godhome.
In this world, it has nothing left to do. A ghost without a purpose should not exist, and yet here it remains. It wishes for another way out of this limbo, this endless cycle of pain.
And so it gives up its godhood, dissolving into essence and broken dreams.
~~~
In another world, Ghost’s eyes open.
In this world, they’re only twelve, with a small fluff of dusty-blond hair and wide, midnight blue eyes dark as the deep Caribbeans.
They’re sitting in the backseat of an SUV, strapped in a seatbelt, eyes half lidded as they listen to their siblings bicker in the background. At their mother’s chiding tone, Hornet grumbles in complaint, jabbing a finger at the amused smirk on Hollow’s face.
It fills Ghost with a feeling of comfort and belonging they haven’t felt in… Forever, actually.
Ghost closes their eyes with a sleepy smile, content.
(But of course it can’t be that easy.)

Summary
You and Ghost are reminded that even within the Last City, you’re never completely free from danger.
Or; there are anti-Guardian civilians. Ghost kind of loses his shit.

Summary
The Pale Kings alternative way of getting rid of the Radiance fortunately works, but unfortunately (for him at least) it also brings a new God to the kingdom. As Ghost, the God of the void, tries to work out their life after ages worth of imprisonment, old trauma and new problems rear their ugly heads. Thank the heavens that Quirrel also lives in Hallownest.

Summary
Quirrel has amnesia. He can't remember anything beyond a certain point, and even from there to here, everything is fuzzy. Nevertheless, he keeps feeling like everything in the abandoned kingdom of Hallownest is too familiar, and that feeling follows him everywhere.
There's only one thing that doesn't give him that feeling: One odd little vessel, who will lead him through the darkness as he uncovers what he's forgotten about his past. This ghost who haunts this abandoned kingdom has a lot to hide. A lot to protect.
And what's worse is that Quirrel is about to fall in love with them.
He doesn't want to say goodbye ever again.

Summary
Quirrel and Ghost work together to figure out the riddle that is the Infection, the mystery that is Hallownest, and the unknown future they face together.
This is a continuation of Give Me Hope in the Darkeness. It will mostly make sense without reading the first one, but I (obviously) recommend reading the first one first!
