Summary
You, a male in his late 30s, get struck by lightning. 1 in 15,300, allegedly.
Instead of being condemned to death like any normal person after getting hit by a 50,000F (27,760C) spear of pure energy, you're transported into the body of the Pale King, a notable antagonist in a game you've been obsessed with for quite some time: Hollow Knight.
What will you do when learning that you are far too late to remedy this male's actions? That you now have to live with the overwhelming shame in his place? -

Summary
Hornet decides it'd be a good idea to spar her ally Shakra to keep her instincts sharp.
It's a bad idea.
Not only is she not at full strength, but she also keeps getting mid-flashbacks about all of the vessels she's killed.
Some had thought her as company, or a safe space, before she'd betrayed them.
Fighting her friend felt just like fighting her family, and it tore her apart.
At least the dice can keep her together.
Man, she really needs to stop relying on them. -

Summary
The pale lady had forgotten when she last felt such feelings... because back then it had only brought
her grief. Despite her silence around the tall warrior, Princess of the Hallownest would never reveal
her secret, even to such a wonderful friend. Her pride and honour would never allow her to admit that,
deep down, she secretly wished to be with someone for the rest of her life.

Summary
She blinks away the spotting in her vision, looking around at the horrid predicament she’s found herself in. Surrounding her are tangles of roots, composed from the same matter as Greyroot. But these have no life pulsing through them. The bark is dry, brittle entirely. She uses this weakness to her advantage, throwing her weight around as much as she is able until the wood breaks, sending her careening to the ground. Her movement seems to startle whatever was shoved into her as its movements quicken and her pain increases. She spends many moments curled around herself on the ground, choking back expletives and sobs. The creature pushes out against her shell, she can feel its tendrils wrapped around her organs, squeezing them, destroying them. She gags. Nothing comes out.
Or: Hornet has gotten herself cursed and must find a way to survive it, cure it, and live in the aftermath.

Summary
Hornet's travels through Pharloom have led her to many of the kingdom's realms, but her blatant neglect for her own shell has led to her fur being knotted and tangled. She can hardly walk without yelping in pain, but luckily for her, Shakra takes notice and comes to her aid.

To Bind Our Echoes That We May Be Whole [Comic] by fireflysummers_ao3

Summary
The apocalypse has come and gone, and against all odds, Pharloom remains standing. The time has come for Hornet to return to Hallownest, accompanied by friends and allies: Shakra hopes to explore the mythical land beyond the wastes, and properly lay to rest a member of her own tribe; Lace fears unraveling without the aid of a Weaver, while contending with the immensity of a future free of her mother’s threads; and the Green Prince lives only only to spite the Citadel, passively seeking a more honorable end than might be found in the rubble of his homeland.
Meanwhile, Hornet returns from Pharloom with magic and knowledge that might aid in the slow recovery of Hallownest and Deepnest–and perhaps offer the chance to call home the sibling she once thought lost to her forever.
