    Summary

    Little Hornet hates the White Palace; all the lessons, the cold, white hallways, the utter silence— but what she does like is the food.

    Summary

    Hornet is showing divine traits and capabilities; ones that are far too similar to those of her estranged grandmother. Herrah takes it upon herself to return to Pharloom in hopes that Grand Mother Silk will aid her, only for things to go horribly awry.

    Skarrsinger Karmelita is sick and tired of the Citadel’s annoying denizens encroaching on her territory. An ambush to take out a group of soldiers quickly becomes much more complicated upon seeing their cargo.

    Summary

    The arrival of a giant Wyrm carcass disturbs the many tribes of Hallownest, causing the ground to shake throughout all of the caves. Every bug from the Mantises to the Bees is affected by his arrival. Take a peek behind the curtain into what Hallownest's story was like before the events of the game.

    This fic is just an exploration of what I think the story of Hallownest looked like prior to it being founded. I've tried to stay as lore accurate as possible (thank you Mossbag) but if I get something wrong, just know it's impossible to know everything. :)

    Summary

    The Pale King was not unfamiliar with his kind's biology. Lactation and milk may be a strange concept to the bugs he ruled over, but he understood it well enough. He simply did not expect that it would ever be something he had to handle.

    Summary

    The King had not been invited to Deepnest often. Only once before, if he recalled correctly, when the Beast accepted his offer to speak. There, they had agreed: a Dreamer for a child, and peace between their people.

    The child had arrived. It was time to meet it- rather, 'her', the Beast's letter communicated.

    OR

    Hornet is born, and the King must meet her.

    Summary

    It is the end of the year and all of Hallownest's peoples seem to have a celebration.
    The Gendered Child, born of two cultures, is faced with the task of choosing which to follow––her Mother's woven tradition or her Father's feast––and making it to the event in time.

    Summary

    “Do you have a name?”
    After a long moment, they shook their head again. Hornet plopped down onto the ground, crossing her legs and holding her chin in one of her hands. The nameless creature untensed even more now, slowly sitting down as well.
    “You need a name,” she said. “What about… uh…”
    A moss creep moved just barely into her peripheral vision, eyeing the two curiously. “I know!” Hornet suddenly yelled. The nameless creature jumped to their feet, before slowly sitting back down. “What about Mossy! Like the moss creeps!”

    Summary

    Hornet was climbing up the vessel’s leg again.
    They sat perfectly stock still, feeling her little clawed hands dig into their cloak and shell. It didn’t hurt, they didn’t feel pain, but it was odd and ticklish and if they could want, they almost wanted her to hold onto them tighter.

    Summary

    They did it. They reached the top. The light, the blindingly bright light that called them here, beckoned them forward. They obeyed, beginning to leave their dark birthplace behind. But something was missing. They looked back, searching for something, anything. And on the ledge hung a familiar bug. The bug reached out for them, begging for help. And they reached back.

    Summary

    It is the nature of life to consume, and especially that of Deepnest. Herrah is no exception.

    (AU where Herrah becomes Queen of Hallownest in a really raw and metal way)

    2025 update: marked as complete because my feelings on PK as a character and as part of the narrative have changed and were entangled with some stuff going on in my personal life at the time I wrote this
