Summary
Like sleep, like death, Five Pebbles wakes again. Except- under mysterious circumstances, he finds himself impossibly thrown into the past to the day of his instantiation, at the very beginning of it all. Eons before the series of tragedies that ruined his and his sister-iterator's lives, he wakes again forced into the fulcrum of fate, his every action threatening to spiral out into unimaginable consequences. If he wants to save Moon and prevent the future from repeating itself, though, what other choice does he have?
However, he's not the only one who fell through time...

Summary
Ghost ends the Infection much earlier, leaving Hallownest with something of a society that must now pick up the pieces. Catastrophic resource shortages, an unstable political landscape, and a population scarred by plague leave every able body stretched thin. Still, Hornet is grateful for her mother's presence, something she never thought she would have. This is, of course, complicated when a chorus from Pharloom attempts to capture a weaverling. With the weavers as a whole too injured to run, and no longer able to hide, a new solution must be found: diplomacy.
Pharloom is starved for Silk, as it always has been. When a chorus returns, bearing news of Mother's wayward children, Lace expects things to stay the same. Unfortunately, these stray weavers are guarded by a Wyrm, and Mother is reluctant to challenge another higher being in her diminished state. However, she cannot simply let her children go. Diplomacy is the only option.

Summary
As their Generator malfunctions and fails, the city of Winterhome finds itself in dire straits. Alone in the Frostlands, and with nowhere to escape to, the death of the city is all but guaranteed.
However, a chance discovery by a scout team offers a new hope; a massive cavern, with breathable air, fresh water, and protection from the cold. Left with no other options, the city begins to evacuate, hoping that they have finally found their shelter from the storm.
Unfortunately for the survivors of Winterhome, their newfound refuge is far from the safe harbor they had prayed for. Trapped in an unfamiliar kingdom, and with temperatures on the surface plummeting, the Captain finds himself caught between the whims of Higher Beings and the encroaching Great Frost.

Summary
The day her mother went to sleep forever was a day of short lived celebration for Hallownest. Her mother and a sibling she never knew, sacrificed for a kingdom through the whims of her father. The worst day Hornet had ever been through.
Yet, her home was not saved. The sickness merely flickered with its creator’s entrapment before resuming its slow rampage.
Her guardians and fellow Weavers are left scrambling for a solution, leaving Hornet alone in her room to watch the beginning of the end. She wants to help, to help save Hallownest like her mother wanted to, but she is turned down again and again as they claim her too young to take such a mantle. Too small to even properly wield a needle.
But she is Queen of Deepnest, Daughter of Hallownest, child of Weaver and Wyrm! And she isn’t going to just watch her home crumble around her!
OR
(Everything goes to shit way sooner than in cannon. Its literally just Ghost and Hornet fucking around and finding out during the end of Hallownest while trying to save it. Like co-op Hollow Knight except played backwards essentially)

Summary
Updates every three weeks, unless it doesn't.
(Spoilers for "Vessel for the Radiance" ahead)
The sealing has ended. The sun rose once more. Now it’s time to face the broken world left behind.
Hollow hadn't thought they would survive this. They had bargained with everything: with the story of their creation they were never supposed to share, with the life they were never supposed to have, with the love they were never supposed to feel... And lost.
The fact that they lived through it seems the cruelest fate of them all. But they will try to bear it. For their sister. For their love.Noon is trying to piece together his fractured reality. He knows the truth about the infection now, just like everyone in Dawnbreak. He had faced his mother, his creator, his god for that truth, and there is no going back. Nothing will make the world right again.
But he can’t fall apart now. His land needs him… Hollow needs him.Hornet just wants to go home. Even if she doesn't know where home is. Even if her father is missing and her mother... She won't think about her mother.
It doesn't matter. She had gotten this far. She will finally bring her sibling home, and she will fix all of this.Series

Summary
Things… change.
Ghost supposes that many would probably say that they get better. They do get better, don’t they? Yes, they do. Things change, and they are better. The Infection is gone, and Hollow is safe, and Hornet is happy, and so Ghost is fine. Perhaps they are selfish, and they mourn a dying world that they can never return to, and they are more alone than ever before, but they’ll get over it.
…And it’s not as if anyone will notice if they don’t.
Ghost goes back in time, kills the Radiance, and sets everything right. They tell no one, and do it on their own. It is only after their family is happy, and the kingdom is safe, and the Abyss is soothed to sleep, that they realize just how lonely it is as the last remaining piece of a future never to be.

Summary
Five Pebbles was pretty sure his story was coming to an end, alone in the snow, covered by his collapsed superstructure with no way out.
The world, however, gave him a second chance in the form of a weird green thing that seemed to...
...Throw him back in time?
Now with memories of freezing cold and information on how to not only fix the rot, but also fix Moon as well, he promised himself he would do whatever he could to never have to relive this awful cold all alone.
The isolation, cold, pain, and hundreds of thousands of cycles worth of thinking made him dead set on never going through that ever again. Even if that meant ripping off his umbilical before that could ever happen.In the meantime... The rest of the local group is confused. After all, the Pebbles they knew was a pretensious jerk who killed Moon then cut all communications, but the one that came back to them was a paranoid mess who seemed to space out every few minutes.
...How odd.Series
