Summary
The Pure Vessel fully expects that it will die within the Black Egg Temple after its failure to contain the infection. It certainly does not expect a second chance at life. However, after a strange series of dreams of a familiar small specter, it wakes up within a much younger and spry body. It doesn't take long to realize that it has taken the specter's place within their shell.

Summary
A lone bee returns to hallownest right before the knight defeats the absolute radiance in godhome. Of course, the bee does not know this, his body weak from his travels across the wastes, and his minds sapience barely having returned to him. His memories are all but gone, and yet, he remembers this place, feeling a calling from his queen's essence. He finds exactly what you'd expect in the hive, but something else too.
Elsewhere, a red maiden returns from a land of silk and song after a treacherous adventure, only to find a homeland both in better shape than she ever expected, but still in mortal danger. Can she bring both kingdoms closer together? How will she fix her homeland?

Summary
All of us have seen Hollow Knight Time-travel fix-it fics. All of us have seen Hollow Knight Isekai fics. I now combine these two with something darker, something I’ll be keeping close to the chest, in the hopes I can make an actually cool reveal.
Jack was not hero material. He was more computer engineer material. So he’s not the best option to throw into the world of Hollow Knight. But he’s the one that fate - or something darker - chose. With nothing but his wits, the few items from his bedside table, and his knowledge of the game, he has no choice but to set on the journey he’s only ever seen through a screen… though it quickly becomes apparent that this isn’t the same story he’s played through. Something else is pulling on the strings…

Hornet x Lace: Silkbound by Yeliztli
Fandoms: Hollow Knight (Video Games), Silksong, Hollow Knight: Silksong (Video Game)

Summary
Everyone remembers that duel (stinger against needle) the battle where Lace, defeated, fled the scene, knowing it would not be their last. But what if something changed? What if, instead of escaping, Lace found herself at the mercy of Hornet's sting? What if, in an act of pity, Hornet let her live?
In this alternate universe, Lace does not walk away. Fascinated and obstinate, she decides to follow Hornet, trailing behind her with taunts and provocations, forcing the spider to accept a companionship she never sought. What began as a lapse in judgment soon becomes an unlikely bond, woven through combat, secrets, and the weight of Pharloom. Between duty and curiosity, between silk and sting, a new story entangles itself in the web of fate.

Summary
Todos recuerdan aquel duelo, aguijon contra alfiler, aquel combate donde Lace, derrotada, escapo del lugar pero sabiendo que no seria su ultima pelea. Sin embargo ¿Y si algo cambiara? ¿Y si, en lugar de huir, Lace quedara a merced del aguijón de Hornet? ¿Y si, en un acto de piedad, Hornet la dejara vivir?
En este universo alterno, Lace no se aparta. Fascinada, obstinada, decide caminar tras Hornet, entre burlas y provocaciones, obligándola a aceptar una compañía que jamás buscó. Lo que comenzó como un error de juicio pronto se convierte en un lazo improbable, tejido a través de combates, secretos y el peso de Pharloom. Entre el deber y la curiosidad, entre la seda y el aguijón, una nueva historia se enreda en la tela del destino.

Summary
*click* *scrap* Hornet was so forced on this new dilemma, she almost missed it.
In the silence it was a chilling sound, one that would send a lesser bug running for safety, Hornet was not a lesser bug, she was the daughter of Hollownest she didn’t scare easily.
*click* *scrap*
She turned to face the direction of the sound, only to be met with the dark entrance of the Blackegg Hornet was only able to listen as the sound grew closer and closer and closer.
*click* *scrap*
Hornet’s eyes fell upon The Hollow Knight.

Summary
Death. How much meaning there is in this word. How many fears, expectations, unanswered questions. People have always sought to peer beyond that boundary, to find out what it means in their life journey. To avoid it by any means at their disposal. And now, one person will have to face death head-on, see something that no one else will ever know about, and run away. But even so, will there be a place for her in this new life and world, so different from the one she knew before? How much pain will she have to endure, how much hope will she have to find and lose?
