    Summary

    It was his small pupil who had convinced him to go visit Sheo. When they showed him the Great Slash they had learned, and he remarked that they must have met Sheo, they had tensed. He had asked what was wrong, and they made no attempt to answer. So he decided to seek out Sheo himself.

    (Mato finds Sheo's hut overgrown with orange vines and the Paintmaster himself infected, so he drags him up to the cliffs in an attempt to cure him. Nothing goes smoothly, and it gets worse before it gets better.)

    Summary

    What it says on the tin, basically! Oro adopts Lost Kin. Includes: fights to eat food, trying to sit still, writing lessons, nail lessons, bubbles, gambling (Oro literally teaches Lost Kin to gamble), honey, and lots of cuddles and hugs. This is a parent-raising-a-child story, and everything in this story is gen. It's about familial relationships and love, so all intimacy is familial and platonic in nature.

    I PROMISE that, while there is sadness and tragedy, there WILL be a happy ending! I couldn't emotionally handle it myself, so while I love writing hurt, there will always be comfort and fluff to follow. :)

    (I recommend obtaining the Dream No More ending before reading this in order to avoid any unwanted spoilers. Chapter one does have an on-screen suicide, but you can skip that by jumping to the end of the Hollow Knight poem.)

    Misc Notes:
    *Lost Kin is the main character, but they do not have a name for its majority. Most, if not all 'they/thems' refer to, well, them. :)
    *The watchful one is Ghost/The Knight, who we play as in game
    *The gentle one is the Greenpath Vessel

    Summary

    Bits and pieces after the Infection with everyone making it out alive.
    Just something to get back into fanfic writing (stir up creativity) without committing.
    No beta(s) edits after I write, just short scenarios I thought up on the spot.

    Summary

    Ghost's story, set in the same universe as Stay And Be Safe (Lost Kin & Oro). I of course wish to credit my inspiration to SqueakyClam's fabulous story Once More, With Feeling! (https://archiveofourown.org/works/25011907/chapters/60565351)

    Excerpt from first chapter:

    They pass a bug’s corpse and an archway of nails, but they are most surprised to find the bug who lives inside the cliff itself. They hadn’t thought anyone lived up here, or that anyone could.

    Passionately, the Nailmaster offers to train them; dispassionately, they agree. He calls them his child, and they don’t know how to respond. He invites them to visit anytime, and they nod respectfully, knowing they will never visit. They leave a little stronger, and they stay a little safer.

     

    Spoiler alert: they visit. :)
