History repeats itself.
Ancient Enemies return.
Relationships fade.
Old Rivalries surface and boil over.

A modern Hollow Knight fic set in 2018, in an unknown city built atop Hallownest.
I've humanized everyone because I know that writing bugs will be a pain in the ass and also bugs don't really work with the setting.

The Fall of Hallownest
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 KnightComplete

Hallow Return
The Radiance is gone, but the peace of Hallownest is built on a pile of silent sacrifices. An outsider arrives, drawn to the depths of the Abyss not by power, but by a consuming sorrow for the lost Vessels. Working with the ancient Mask Maker, this figure initiates a forbidden ritual: to give the Void Siblings new masks, new bodies, and a second chance at life. But peace is fragile. The Kingdom's deep past, a sudden kidnapping, and the return of a cursed Dream Weaver threaten to shatter this fragile hope. This is not a story of gods and kings, but of broken hearts learning how to love, create, and choose their own names. The Return is complete. The true purpose is just beginning.
