Summary
"A cloak to match what you have now?"
She thinks it is clothing? Possibly, many do, not realizing it is connected. Most cannot see, taller than them, where the roots connect under the shell, around their neck.

Summary
Grimm moves his hand that was holding their leg until now, and goes on to press his arm against their lower stomach. Firmly. Trying to force their coremata out.
And in doing so, almost causing an accident.Series

Summary
It cannot see well what exactly it is, at first. All black, something of sheer fabric and lace. Initially, Grimm seems to be simply moving it aside without much thought, but he must have caught onto some reaction from it that it failed to conceal.
He glances at it, and turns to face it, arranging the piece in his hands to display it better.
"Seeing something you like?" he asks, when it keeps staring.Series

Summary
A long time before it finds the red one again, and this time, it doesn't run away.
It doesn't think the red one likes it. Keeps saying strange things, almost… accusing, it doesn't know why, it just wanted to know who the new bug was.
(It sees another, near the red one. Another like it. Unmoving.)Series

Summary
"The only thing better would be to defile their graves, but I am not callous enough to kill.”
Grimm, however, had no such reservations.

Summary
Grimm centric AU of connected fics.
Main story consists of Beacon, Apparition, and hand-me-down memories. Other parts provide additional context and/or character/world exploration. Embrace the Void ending.Most work as stand-alones, and can be read in whichever order; I try to note down where you might want to read something in a specific order when relevant. For a rough reading order, follow series ordering.
If you want a detailed recommended reading order for the entire AU, here you go.

Summary
Its dance partner takes the child easily. This time it contains itself within a charm─this kingdom’s way of preserving old, strong magic, Grimm can only assume. He’s seen it before, a long time ago, but these things have a way of changing.
In turn, in time, as it always goes.

Summary
This space was theirs, to play, to celebrate, to grieve, to act out fantasies of power given and taken.
He would ask her, later, why she’d chosen this tonight. Sometimes there was no particular reason. This did not feel like one of those times.
Grimm's quiet evening is transformed by a visitor. Hornet has less-than-clear intentions.

Summary
“Bold.”
“Honest,” he choked out. The Nightmare King loosened his fingers only slightly – only enough to allow him the illusion of breath.
“I can make this stay much less enjoyable for you.”
“Not for much longer.”

Summary
(I made that choice when I left them behind. I am selfish. I was willing to climb out of the Abyss over the corpses of my siblings, no matter the cost. And I was willing to sacrifice it all—
Hallownest. Myself. The lives of thousands of bugs.
I wanted his acknowledgment. I wanted to be seen.
I wanted to succeed—)
