Summary
A knight without a kingdom, bereft of duty, without her monarchs, is no knight at all.
Dryya wakes in the Queen's Gardens months after her death, confused and alone. The White Lady is gone. There are no more infected mantises polluting her Lady's realm, just a scattered collection of mutated wild animals. She has stood valiantly at her post for three centuries. Without her Queen, what is she to do?
Without purpose for the first time in almost a millennia, Dryya must forge herself a new one: she will reassemble her lost knights and do what she can to put the broken remnants of her King's realm back together. But much time has passed since her quasi-exile in the Gardens, and much that once was is now lost. Despite her long centuries as a warrior of unparalleled might, Dryya will learn that the toughest battles are those that come when there are no enemies left to fight.
Disclaimer: This is an intensive character study and an extremely long-form fic, covering the events of Dryya's very long life from the birth of Hallownest to long after its fall. Slow burn. Extremely extensive flashbacks which start early on. Read the tags.

Summary
What does one do when even their most violent struggles fail them time and time again?
Well they give up something to go further back of course.
Afterall what better way is there to avert the future than to go back to a point in time in which you might be able to change it all, where strength long lost can be maintained and brought to bare against a new foe.
This would be the last time they'd return, and even if they were but an echo of who they once were, they would be giving it their all. One last time.

Summary
"That light foreseen has turned cold upon this kingdom.
The seeds of war have been sown, we do not invite it now.
May Its sacrifice bless our Hallownest Eternal."What if everyone in Hollow Knight lived during the golden days of the Pale King's rule?
This story follows the adventures of Hornet, Tiso, and the palace ghost, as they travel Hallownest in pursuit of their own goals. Hornet: a princess who wishes nothing more than to live a rugged life outside of her duties as the kingdom's heir, Tiso: an immigrant both looking to make a name for himself as a soldier and integrate into Hallownest's unfamiliar culture, and the knight: one of the Pale King's seven "impure vessels" who's seeking to find purpose in his life after not being chosen as the Hollow Knight.
As they interact, their goals eventually begin to intertwine into one singular mission: protecting Eternal from the wrath of the Radiance.(Bonus details: Quirrel is a scholar/espionage artist, the Pale Court knights are the king's law enforcement, nearly all of the Spirit's Glade spirits are alive/repurposed as extra characters throughout the story, and the Colosseum of Fools/The Grimm Troupe are criminal organizations.)

Summary
The Pale King was accustomed to receiving gifts. He in the early days of Hallownest was given many offerings regularly, though he amended the system later on so he did not get an overflow of small junk, no matter how well-intentioned it might be. The nobles of Hallownest still gave gifts, or at least tried to. He did not want for much, especially in terms of material goods, so they had little to offer him. There had been a few occasions with nobles where he suspected they had attempted to “subtly” bribe him. There were more than a few occasions actually. Perhaps he should get loyal Lurien to investigate for him.
Anyhaps, foreign gifts were rarer. The mantises were quite fine crafters with fungus stalks, managing to make weapon handles and structures as well as personalized trinkets, but the only thing he ever received from them was the monthly summons “to prove his worth” in combat he had been ignoring for centuries at this point. The Hive and Deepnest only gave “gifts” when they were not-so subtly hinting that they wanted something in return. Or they were just bugged.
Unn however, had never saw fit to gift him something(which he was fine with)
Until now.
Unn was gifting him a PERSON.

Summary
Finally, the first light of civilisation any of the marching bugs had seen in months was visible just over the horizon. The ringing of the bells halted, as the group’s leader stopped. A sign infront of them had only one character they understood, and even then it was written in a foreign style. But the character revealed that they had finally reached their destination: The Kingdom of the White Wyrm.
The veiled bugs picked up the runed cage again, and the bell chimes continued in rhythm to their march.
