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
Runt hatched the last of Huntress's brood: small, weak, and destined to die in the harsh wilds of Pharloom without the support of the brood. That's just how the world works, nature red in tooth and claw. But sometimes, a completely different world reaches out a helping claw. A foreign stranger introduces the little hunter to another way to live, where "I" is not weak without "us," and people have more to offer than the strength of their shell alone.
*****
Decades after the defeat of the Radiance, the Abyss is at peace and the rebuilding of Hallownest has ushered in a new era of stability, one free of divine machinations. Until Hornet is taken. The Hollow Knight mounts a rescue only to find their efforts unnecessary and not entirely welcome. They just want to go home. Too bad there's a pesky little apocalypse standing in their way, and a wild Pharloom bug intent on treating them like some sort of... role model.

It doesn't take long to realize that it has taken the specter's place within their shell.

Summary
" 'Many who had fallen comatose with the infection are waking up, seeming healthy and whole.'
The king dismissed the courier, and began the process of ordering further studies."
Some unknown force has resulted in the disappearance of the Radiance, just before the infection could reach its peak under the Pale King's rule. The mystery soon takes a back-burner to a rearranged custody agreement over Herrah's brood, some clumsy attempts to re-establish marital trust, and some long overdue re-evaluations of the Pure Vessel. The king will send his newly unusable creation to train under the Great Knights, and become their sixth.
Court intrigue, sibling bonding, goddess hunting, different brands of motherhood, and accidental arson are abound.
