What would happen if the Radiance and the Pale King actually... got along?
Almost anything can happen in Hallownest, but even this isn't possible... is it?

The Fall of Hallownest by LuckyLuke318

This novel depicts the full story of Hollow Knight in the perspectives of 5 different characters, which are represented in 5 long chapters. Many things in the Hollow Knight lore are very unclear, so we had to fictionalize some things. Please dont get mad because some events appear that are not 100% confirmed to be accurate. Im not Team Cherry. I dont have the lore bible. I dont work at ICE anymore. This isn't your typical fan fiction where everyone... ya know... does the nasty. This is a (mostly) lore accurate depiction of the Hollow Knight story (I hope. Could be dead-ass wrong tho). Like I said, we had to implement some of our own theories because many things aren't clear. Have fun reading and stuff. Also this should be obvious but Spoilers for the game Hollow Knight

"Not Quite Determined" Sans x Human/Monster Reader [COMPLETED] by FloweyTheGrouch

You've lived your life without ever knowing your parents. Despite that you dream big because you don't have much; aiming to become a famous singer and prove anyone who has doubted you wrong. Monsters have been freed from the surface. Of course, you happen to meet a certain Skeleton and his joyful brother as well. But will their past continue to haunt them and will it 'hunt' you as well? Will crossing paths with the monsters lead to self discovery? And what happened to the timeline?! You'll just have to read it to find out. (Contains Smut!) This story is based on Toby Fox's game "Undertale". So I don't own anything from this.

Irredeemable by muttboy30

Twelve. That was their name, or at least the closest thing they would ever receive. With the escape of every single vessel in the battle of the abyss, the Pale King had developed a plan to eliminate the survivors. He created dozens of "hunters" meant only to track down and kill their fellow vessels. Twelve was one of them. A few years after Hallownest fell to the infection, Twelve was able to break free of the white palace. In a world they were never intended to see, they must find their way, and learn how to survive all over again. As if it weren't enough, most vessels were never truly hollow. Twelve was no different, and now grapples with the horrible misdeeds of their time as a hunter. One thing is certain for them. They are not a hero. They may not be the villain anymore, but they are beyond redemption. And as always, this story is exclusive to Wattpad, and if it is seen on any other site, such as NovelHD for example, I didn't put it there.

My Post Infection AU [Hollow Knight] by StarwingSgazer955

A betrayed Vessel was pushed down the fountain as a sacrifice to the Pale King in hopes he would return. Killing her fueled the Radiance's anger and the Infection began to spread faster, and take more violent control over it's hosts' bodies. This continued until the little knight arrived and put an end to the "Light that Plagued their Dreams." But when the hero died something much more unexpected happened, a wyrm of void and god appeared in the Ancient Basin, with the knowledge of things that had happened before, claiming to be the Vessel the old king's followers pushed down the fountain. I just wanted to write this.... Technically this is finished. But I've left it marked "Ongoing" just in case I decide to add joke chapters to it.

When he first reached the top of that dark Abyss, he was cast aside by the being that shone like a beacon in the darkness, his father, because he was not hollow.
