(The gods are no longer at strife.
The Void need spread no plague to usurp the kingdom.
The people stare with blank, empty eyes, without thought, without memory, as the dark swallows the world.)

Bookmarker's Notes
Superb, sophisticated writing. Hollow POV, them + hornet going to convince the knight to do something about the void currently killing everyone after the radiance's death. Good ending to boot :)

Summary
For a single moment, as it lies on the ground, just hatched, it is truly as hollow as it is meant to be-–no thoughts, no feelings, no emotions.
And then that moment ends.

Summary
Vessels are not empty automatons. The Knight--Ghost--was the one Vessel to leave and return.
...Turns out there's a difference between knowing something factually and having evidence stuck directly in one's face.
(Or, the survivors of Hallownest get various glimpses into the lives Ghost lived in their time travelling the wastelands.)

Amazing amazing angst (on all sides: hornet + ghost + purl) with fluffy and emotional resolution. Beautiful writing with a perfect dosage of description, emotions and action, and dialogues are very natural. Wanna use this as a writing style reference

Summary
“Thank you,” He said, an air of finality finally settling over him. “Thank you for everything you have done. I’m sure life will treat you well.”
The knight looked at him, a slight tilt to the head.
Quirrel smiled.
He bolted up from the ground, and dove into the lake.

Summary
" The Ghost of Hallownest cannot feel, or so it is said.
Fate is what pulls them along. Closer, closer, and they stare into the glow of the flame that it is. They are destined for it, and so they continue to stumble into it.
They are not shocked when the fire licks at their limbs. It is scalding, and they are sure that when they reach what they must in the burning ruin, they might let it consume them.Only if they are not needed. "

In apology, they listen for the words that only they will hear as they bring about the end.
(We are sorry. We are sorry.
Discarded child, you did not ask for this.)

Dreamers kind of speaking to ghost and comforting them after they've been killed and absorbed into the dream nail (kind of). Angsty and delicious
