    Summary

    Climbing out of the Abyss, Hornet and Lace are both exhausted and battered, physically and emotionally. The two of them struggle with their own internal conflicts. Hornet for the first time in a very long time is not alone. She doesn't know what to do when she is faced with feelings she hasn’t let herself feel in so long, courtesy of her new silken companion Lace. She is also reeling from seeing her sibling Ghost, while also processing everything she has been through since reaching Pharloom. Lace has gotten her wish and is finally free from her mother's grasp. Now she has a chance to be herself, but ages spent under her mother's control have left her grappling with her own nature. A nature that she feels her mother has cursed her with. She now has to deal with her past, while spending time with the Spider she loathed, but is finding herself enjoying the company of. The two bugs must grow from their past and forge a new future together in their practically infinite lifespan.

    Summary

    Small, oh so small, a blaze of warmth in cold, white walls.
    If only you knew, little one, the love I shouldn't hold for you.
    My sister, I'm so sorry, for the martyr time has made you.
    Yet I love all your rough edges, and I know you love mine too.

    OR

    Hollow wants to make up for all the lost time and little Hornet's many requests that had been ignored, but she's not exactly the same bug her big sibling remembers from all those years ago...

    Summary

    What do you do when you're suddenly given freedom, if you've never learned to be free?

    Lace laughs. Because the only alternative would be to cry.

    After being dragged out of the Void by Hornet, whether she wanted or not, Lace finds herself free for the first time ...and bereft of any purpose. With nowhere else to go, the woven child joins Hornet as she ventures all across Pharloom to help rebuild it from ruin, along the way learning to accept her existence, and eventually become more than her mother's daughter.

    My take on Lace's character and her future after the Sister of the Void ending. Expect spoilers for the entire game. Chapters will contain more specific content warnings if required. More tags to be added.

    Summary

    Wanderlust drove the Watcher to reach too far through the realms. They thought little of bringing back a couple corpses and one body with a seemingly broken hibernation cycle from a brief stop in an unfamiliar cave. On the other hand, three siblings awoke to a stunning light from above, a stolen weapon, and the particular surprise of not being dead.
