Summary
Death was not the end. For the Wyrm, it was ascension. For you, it was a cruel rebirth into a dying world - unchanged and laid bare.
Hallownest stands at the height of its splendor, yet a rot stirs beneath its polished surface. A mind-eroding plague spreads in silence, and in this rising sickness, the humanity that should have damned you instead gives you value.
To deny the desperate bugs is to shatter their hope. To accept is to invite a disaster born of faith. How do you survive a kingdom that admires the mediocrity you curse, and whose belief might just make their delusion real?

Summary
The Pure Vessel might be the worst possible bug for someone to reincarnate into.
At least their gender dysphoria is cured.
Now they just have to pretend to be hollow until they're strong enough to take on the Radiance.

Summary
Living as a Weaver among other Hallownestian bugs is difficult, to say the least. Doubly so if you're a reincarnated human in the body of said Weaver. Still, at least I'm able to live my life in peace. I hope.

Summary
She remembers waking up, getting breakfast, and waiting for the day to start. She does not remember falling asleep, but she does remember waking up again. Only this time, it's cold, her body is wrong (yet somehow right), and she's suspended in what feels like egg whites. Oh, and her egg-mate? Yeah, that's Ghost. The Knight. Protagonist of hit indie video game Hollow Knight. And she... appears to be in the title role. Yippee.
Alright, comprehensive plan is this:
1. don't die
2. don't let Ghost die
3. fix everythingThis'll be fun. (And by fun, well, let's just say... mental breakdown.)
Heavily inspired by FreakOfYourNature's A Not-So-Hollow Knight (self insert dies painfully and for some reason reincarnates as the Hollow Knight, then proceeds to obliterate any sense of coherence Hallownest had left), but with two key differences: One, said self insert is infinitely less aggressive, and Two, the Pale King is actually a decent person. And maybe... maybe he could even become a decent father.

A Song of Silk and Saplings by Zennistrad

Tags
Summary
Following the disappearance of the Infection from Hallownest, a routine patrol brings Hornet to Hallownest's Crown — where she is assailed by a trio of unknown bugs with sinister intentions. Kidnapped and brought far above the tunnels of Hallownest, she soon finds herself stranded in a world of perpetual light and open sky, far from the dark and subterranean home she has always known.
Meanwhile, the kingdoms of Bugaria grow restless, with reports of a powerful cult becoming active on their borders. As Kabbu, Leif, and Vi set out to investigate, they find themselves wrapped in a conflict that may threaten the hard-fought peace of all the four kingdoms. And who is this strange masked bug, who wields silk and needle deadlier than any sword?

Summary
Things… change.
Ghost supposes that many would probably say that they get better. They do get better, don’t they? Yes, they do. Things change, and they are better. The Infection is gone, and Hollow is safe, and Hornet is happy, and so Ghost is fine. Perhaps they are selfish, and they mourn a dying world that they can never return to, and they are more alone than ever before, but they’ll get over it.
…And it’s not as if anyone will notice if they don’t.
Ghost goes back in time, kills the Radiance, and sets everything right. They tell no one, and do it on their own. It is only after their family is happy, and the kingdom is safe, and the Abyss is soothed to sleep, that they realize just how lonely it is as the last remaining piece of a future never to be.

Summary
In the aftermath of his battle with Adam, Alastor sustained a wound that refused to heal. With each passing day, the wound grows. With each wretched act, the mark upon his chest makes itself known. Alastor was being judged, not by Heaven or Hell, but something else. Something without a name.
And so Charlie, in her infinite goodness and need to help, has put it upon herself to try and save Alastor’s soul while simultaneously running her hotel. But the mystery only deepens the further the duo dives. Questions of fate, uncertain feelings, and connections that neither expected, come to light as they grapple with ‘The Mark of Judgment.’

Summary
“Why don’t we dance until dawn? Just as the humans do.”
“Two more dances. Three if the songs are short.”
“I’ll tell them to drag every chord and sing like molasses.”
When the owner of Alastor’s soul sends him to Earth to collect souls as penance for his hubris, Charlie journeys to the mortal world to bring him home. She quickly discovers that the world above is cruel and beautiful in equal measure, and perhaps that is reason enough to linger.

How to Survive a Shounen by Dovahkean
Fandoms: 僕のヒーローアカデミア | Boku no Hero Academia | My Hero Academia (Anime & Manga)
27 Oct 2025
Tags
Summary
My Hero Academia, the shounen world where any problem, no matter how complex and morally debatable it is, can be solved with a Detroit Smash… except not really.
Defeating the bad guys doesn’t solve the issues that created them, and there’s no way hero society is truly recovering from the absolute mess it’s dug itself into over the last few centuries, so when a transmigrator is (forcefully) given the chance to enter U.A. High School alongside the main cast and help beat up, among many others, the League of Villains, Meta Liberation Army, Creature Rejection Clan, HPSC, Shie Hassaikai, Humarise, and the centuries-old demon lord LARPer himself, his response is simple and straight to the point.
“Are you nuts?! Screw that! I’ve got a few years tops until Quirk Singularity Doomsday wrecks the world and I’m preparing for it!”
