Summary
In the aftermath of Pharloom's functional collapse, a few remnants of the old kingdom linger. Some more hostile than others.
Hornet learns the hard way that the one responsible for her arrival in Pharloom was not the only one with a distinct interest in her, and that, though she has seen the breadth and depths of this kingdom's cruelty, having witnessed the remnants of that cruelty inflicted on others does not make her more resistant to its attention turning directly upon her.
Fortunately, she isn't alone in Pharloom. Unfortunately, her allies can do very little for her when they have no idea where she is, and being found by one does not necessarily mean being found by all- nor does one ally's presence make her escape complete.

Summary
Freeing the Hollow Knight from a mad god’s clutches is one thing; freeing them from their own self-imposed chains is entirely another. Particularly when they understand their rescue as no rescue at all, but simply another god taking those chains in hand.
Ghost did not request any of that.
Hornet, having spent the past few centuries desperately believing that all her siblings died in their eggshells, has learned the truth just in time to struggle with how to help a sibling who firmly believes that their own existence as a living thing is the most heinous of crimes.
Oro is not remotely pleased at having been pulled from his perfectly fine hut to help, and is most definitely not unusually invested here, thank you. No attachment whatsoever to someone who, despite being half-dead, still tries to make of themself a living shield. None at all.
(He’s also a bad liar.)
Friends and allies can only get you so far when someone’s greatest battle is against their own mind, and many things in this crumbling ruin of a kingdom are inclined to interfere in the matter. Not all that is dead is willing to stay dead, and the past is not content to remain in the past.
Nor are these the only Void-kin still alive.Series

Summary

The someone should perhaps have thought this over just slightly more.

Summary
Hornet finds herself with a little shadow. Not one she would have expected to see again, and not one she can bring herself to simply walk away from.
A good thing there's a convenient pool of warm water nearby. The little shadow is in dire need of a bath.

Summary
...someday it will kill you.
When Fox deserts the GAR on a reckless quest to save another clone, Quinlan is tasked with finding him before the Separatists can. But the reasons behind Fox's actions aren't nearly as clear-cut as they seem, and the only way to figure out the truth before it gets them both killed is for Quinlan to get far closer to Fox than he intended.

Summary
Swerve was just a normal dude. Sure, his ability to talk pretty much non-stop had earned him a career as a streamer. And his ability to be in the right place at the right time had also earned him a career as a mecha pilot. So maybe his life wasn't very normal after all. But that never changed him. Despite everything, Swerve was still somehow a normal dude.
However, after one horrible accident and some exposure to untested tech from R&D, that will forever change.

Summary
When Dooku takes Savage as his apprentice, there's already another occupant of his keep, a prisoner keeping secrets Dooku needs. The witches' spell means Savage only sees him in fragmented moments, unpredictably, but that might still be just enough to save them both.
