Summary
All's well that sleeps well in Dream Land. But peace never lasts long here. When a strange meteorite crashes in the Jam Jungle and rumours of a frightening bird monster follow, the locals ask Dream Land for help. To honour the new alliance, King Dedede volunteers Meta Knight to help them get to the heart of the matter. As the complications pile up he realises he may be dealing with a threat of Galactic proportions. Did he bite off more than he can chew?
Back in Dream Land, Galacta Knight grows agitated. He cannot keep hiding forever, can he? His aching body, his growing restlessness, his ruinous memories and unanswered questions...this cannot last! It must come to a head! But before he can vent his frustration he must sate his gnawing hunger.
Meanwhile, Kirby stands in as a delivery driver, bringing pastries to a weirdly shy customer. Someone who knows him, and says he's not allowed to tell anyone about them. But, uh-oh, he lets something slip to Meta Knight! Will they be okay?
Now the stage is set and the collision seems unavoidable. But that's just the start of act one. Can they pick up the pieces and build something new? Improvise a better ending this time? Or is the script of fate set in stone?

Summary
With the Day of Love fast approaching, Meta Knight has to wrestle with the reality romance is not his strong suit. But it turns out he's not the only one who's struggling with self-doubt and questions about the nebulous concept of loving and being loved. After all, King Dedede's party may be lavish, but is it loud enough to drown out the creeping dread that's settled in his gut? Can they come to a better understanding and figure out what they are to each other?
Fortunately, relationship rules are just constructs and love comes in many forms. Unfortunately, a little pink someone is playing Cupid today. And when this Cupid draws his bow, there is only one thing his friends can do. Duck!

Summary
Being snowed in and stuck in a cabin would be annoying under any circumstance. Thankfully King Dedede and Meta Knight stocked up on supplies for their trip this time, so they won't have to worry about food. And yet, hunger gnaws at Meta Knight. But not the physical kind of hunger. No, the craving he feels is of a different, far more terrible kind. One that, if not kept in check, could lead him to do irreparable damage.
Life-force. That's what he craves. Normally he would use Galaxia to harvest small bites from his defeated opponents, no more than they can recover from. But everything has been peaceful and now his soul HUNGERS. The scent calls to him. Oh, if only he could have a single bite! But he's too far gone already. He wouldn't be able to hold back and he absolutely doesn't want to cause Dedede permanent harm!
Isn't there anything else he can feed on? How about a nice dream? Would sure be convenient if somebody deliberately took a nap right about now, wouldn't it?

Summary
It's a lovely morning in Dream Land and Kirby's feeling great! Now just to get himself some breakfast at the bakery. Uh-oh, his wallet's empty! But no need to worry, the bakers have a proposal: their Delivery Dee is sick, so if Kirby's willing to stand in for them today, he can pick out any pastry he wants, even that new flavour of cheesecake!
He should be able to get it done in a snap on his Warp Star. He's a friendly little guy, so dealing with hungry customers should be a piece of cake too. Even if some of them are a little agitated and people-shy. Besides, those storm clouds in the distance are still far away, right?
Meanwhile, Meta Knight has been volunteered to help Dream Land's rattled new ally investigate and track a mysterious winged creature spotted in the jungle after a meteorite struck near their community. Can he get to the heart of the matter? Or rather, should he?

De Metafysische Nachtmerrie (Do Starry Knights Dream of Eternal Sleep?) [Nederlandse Vertaling] by PinkestMenace
Fandoms: Kirby (Video Games)
11 Sep 2023

Summary
Dankzij de Droomfontein is Dromenland vrij van nachtmerries. Het zou een toevluchtsoord moeten zijn voor Meta Knight, die zijn eerste levensjaren doorbracht in de koude greep van de ene nachtmerrie na de andere. Een plek voor hem om in het reine te komen met zichzelf en zijn verleden achter zich te laten. En toch komt elk jaar tegen het eind van de herfst dezelfde ijzingwekkende nachtmerrie weer terug, die hem herinnert aan zijn duistere afkomst.
Dit jaar is het nog erger dan anders. Waarom kan hij niet opwarmen? Waarom wordt hij nog steeds gekweld door die noodlottige dag dat Nightmare in de Droombron verscheen? Hoezo zijn zijn vrienden bezig een feestje voor hem te organiseren? Hoe zit het met de vreemde gelijkenis tussen hem en Kirby?
Om zijn verleden onder ogen te zien en zijn eigen toekomst vorm te geven moet hij het moeilijkste doen wat hij ooit heeft gedaan: leren om te vertrouwen en vertrouwd te worden.

Summary
After receiving a mysterious letter describin' the location of a treasure, King Dedede sets out on a li'l treasure hunt. Dark caves, strange crystals, competitors for the prize...he can handle it all! What's a li'l facin' yer fears to a king? Just a challenge, that's what! Surely nothin' will go wrong this time, right?
Heh. He should've known not to tempt fate. Now his competitor's Kirby, the treasure's a bust 'n' that cave's a whole lot deeper, darker 'n' more oppressive than it was when they went in. Darn it! If only they'd told someone where they'd gone! At least the rock-solid rivals still have each other.
All is not lost, though: the determined duo of Meta Knight and Bandee are on their way! Will they turn the tide, overcome the darkness of the cave and find them in time to have the most awkward recovery sleepover ever? Or will the cave give them all their eternal sleep instead?
But seriously: what in the world is up with this cave? Why do the locals shun this place like the plague? What if the real threat was the existential dread we picked up along the way?

Summary
Een warmwaterbron zou een plek moeten zijn waar je kan ontspannen en loskomen. Ridders horen loyaal, professioneel en beheerst te blijven, zeker in het bijzijn van hun koning. Als deze twee waarheden botsen voorspelt dat weinig goeds.
Helaas bevindt Meta Knight zich één benauwend warmwaterbronincident later wel in deze benarde positie. Zal zijn zelfrespect ooit herstellen? Telt het als verraad als het een misverstand was? Wat is dat toch met Koning Dedede? Kunnen ze hun band als koning en ridder herstellen? En het belangrijkste van dit alles: kunnen ze deze nieuwe dynamiek verborgen houden voor Kirby als ze zelf nog half in het duister tasten?

Summary
Meta Knight verveelt zich. Niet dat hij niet blij is dat Dream Land veilig is, maar nu alles vredig is bestaat elke dag uit dezelfde zieltergende routine: eten, trainen, patrouilleren, slapen, enzovoort. Hij heeft zelfs niets om in zijn dagboek— pardon, logboek te schrijven. Tenminste, totdat een zeker roze ongeleid projectiel langskomt met een uitnodiging. Zou het genoeg zijn om zijn verlangen naar uitdaging te vervullen?

But what if your body itself is a weapon? If its properties are out of this world? What to do if your sparring partner takes 'bouncing back' very literally?

Summary
Thanks to the Fountain of Dreams, Dreamland is safe from nightmares. It should be a place of refuge for Meta Knight, who spent his early life in the cold grip of one nightmare after another. A place for him to come to terms with himself and his past and move on. And yet, every year in late autumn the same chilling nightmare pops up to remind him of his murky origins.
It's worse than ever this year. Why can't he warm up? Why is he still haunted by that fateful day when Nightmare showed up at the Dream Spring? What was that about his friends organising a party for him? What about the uncanny resemblance between him and Kirby?
To face his past and forge his own future, he must do the most difficult thing he's ever done: learn how to trust and be trusted.
