Summary
It would be easy, she and I think, to convince my followers to go back to our once forsaken tribe. I’m sure many would accept our defeat, so that they would no longer fear another attack from the infected, or go hungry because we couldn’t find enough food for everyone, or to just go back to the ones they left behind during the split. She tells me of my sisters, how they miss me so much, and wish to be with their little brother again. “Your people would be a united tribe, forever protected by my light, never to suffer ever again,” she whispers to me every night.
Swap Au where the Traitor Lord is the one who refused the call of the Radiance and ran away with his followers to the Fungal Wastes.

Summary
The child, half-blind, had a few things in this world that were important to her. The spider silk hammock that cushioned her and her kin, crawling over one another, heavy on top, firm underneath her little limbs, shielding against the cool air of the caverns. The taste of sweet honey in her mouth, an occasional treat, that opened up her airways and helped her breathe when she was overcome with the need to cough. Caretakers, shifting, all like her yet so big. One of them always came back.
A prequel to "Is it the ridge between worlds that makes you feel alone?" (https://archiveofourown.org/works/37724380), can be read as a stand-alone fic as well.

Summary
"Do not underestimate the mantises," Monomon spoke. "They may not share our language or our culture, but they are just as, if not more sophisticated than the citizens of Hallownest. I think you might understand that better than most, dear Ze'mer."
And indeed, Ze'mer understood.
