Summary
Two children born entwined, apart
Two children marked to rule
They danced, they sang, proved blades beyond
But none forgot their birth
For lovers born on beat exact shall be forever cursedBut clockwork hearts don’t beat in sync
A curse that gears might circumvent
The tragedy of princes green
Is not a stagnant destiny
For life and souls and greener path
A clockwork Prince may find
A destiny of death and pain
Might princes green defy-Ode to the Lovers, addendum by an unknown source
When Hornet kills the first cogwork dancer, the other stops fighting, rather than finishing the dance. Instead, a newly-awoken Teal Prince flees the Core in a search for his lost lover

Summary
"Of all the places I imagined you had vanished to, I did not expect my master's tomb to be among them," Shakra comments mildly.
Hornet has not been seen for a week after the black threads' vanishing. When Shakra stumbles upon her, she cannot let her disappear again. Despite her hesitation, Hornet agrees to travel with Shakra for a while, going nowhere in particular.
Hornet can hardly explain herself if she doesn't understand her own reasoning, but Shakra is patient. Some questions—some experiences—just need a bit of breathing room.

If only we could have gone ourselves, they think, staring at the scar on their messenger’s breast, perhaps things would have turned out for the better.

Summary
The Void had been still for an amount of time unthinkable, the being able to unite it fallen so long ago.
Its stillness breaks when a small shade rejects its call, refuses to merge with it and lay to rest, instead pushing its resolve onto the sea.
Fix it. Save them, it demands, and something answers.
Something stirs deep within; something meant to be forgotten awakens; something powerful beyond anything Hallownest has known in its entire existence heeds the call, throwing the vessel and itself both into a time long lost.
Mere weeks before the Sealing, a wounded vessel staggers out of the Temple.

That Squirming Thing In Your Chest by an_awful_disaster
Fandoms: Hollow Knight (Video Games)
14 Nov 2025

Summary
She blinks away the spotting in her vision, looking around at the horrid predicament she’s found herself in. Surrounding her are tangles of roots, composed from the same matter as Greyroot. But these have no life pulsing through them. The bark is dry, brittle entirely. She uses this weakness to her advantage, throwing her weight around as much as she is able until the wood breaks, sending her careening to the ground. Her movement seems to startle whatever was shoved into her as its movements quicken and her pain increases. She spends many moments curled around herself on the ground, choking back expletives and sobs. The creature pushes out against her shell, she can feel its tendrils wrapped around her organs, squeezing them, destroying them. She gags. Nothing comes out.
Or: Hornet has gotten herself cursed and must find a way to survive it, cure it, and live in the aftermath.

Summary
O little pin how you dally and dance
Yet flashes of gold have you caught in a trance
Keep your heart in a cage and press your crusade
And maybe she might at last fall to your bladeThen p’rhaps once she falls and is bent on her knees
With heart in your hand you can do as you please
But child, O child, be you warned and beware
Once she touches your heart you’ll be caught in her snareBookmarked by TOG2

Summary
To illuminate the darkness one only needs a candle; to smother the sun, one needs a monster. To topple a god, one needs a primordial strength. So what does one need, if one is to try and find redemption?
As the dream plague known as The Infection spread across Hallownest, the Pale Court fought to save its bugs from the dangerous affliction. But one night, something changes. Dreams lie dark and still as a Sun falls near Dirtmouth. Its impact rattles more than the earth, it shakes Hallownest to its core. And what rises from the ashes could change everything, even moreso than its existence already has.
The question is, if it will make things better or worse. Or rather, if she will.
