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.

Silent City by Vaarion

Death isn't permanent. History repeats itself. Ancient Enemies return. Relationships fade. Old Rivalries surface and boil over. The five unwavering truths of Hallownest. The eternal kingdom. 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.

Never by TheSquawkInTheNight

The mantis are strong, cold, ruthless and above all, they never fall in love. This is how a mantis should be, but above all. Only perdition awaits those who dare to break the rules and Orchid knows it very well. So she hates that knight with penetrating gaze and silent presence. She will never forgive him for stealing a victory and her heart. In this AU, although the vessels do not have gender, they usually feel identified with one gender or another (There are some who never manage to decide whether they want to be male or female). The Knight feels identified with the male gender and the other insects also identify him as a male because of his body language. The knight in this story is named Hollow The Hollow knight is called Big There are Five kingdoms: Hallownest Hearth (This include City of Tears, Crystal Peak, Resting Lands, Ancient basin and Forgotten Crossroads) ruled by Big. The Hive ruled by Vespa's daughter Deepnest ruled by Hornet Green lands (This include Queen's gardens, Green Path and Fog Canyon) Ruled by Clare, White Lady's daughter Fungal Wastes ruled by Mantis Lords. Nobody cares about Dirtmouth. Full credit to Whisper9

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

Will of the Void(Hollow Knight x Male!Vessel) by KilliosKorosu

No mind to think. No will to break. No voice to cry suffering. Born of God and Void. Over and over this words were repeated in the abyss. All for the purpose of finding the perfect manifestation of it, But what happens if the exact opposite happens? Will Hallownest still be brought to utter ruination? Or the opposite will happen? Read more to find out 10-28-25 Published at : 11-01-25 COMPLETED: 11-21-25 Hollow Knight is owned by Team Cherry. This is a fanfic I made for I'm a big fan of the game.

The Bastard Child by EyeOfTruth75

This story takes place partly before the infection was present , partly after the infection first started, and lastly after the infection was cured, and all things seemed to have returned to normal, except... Father chose to forbid his name from being spoken, almost lost to time does he arrive again. „Under Palest court and coldest nightmare does he find way to the light" „For one who brings peace let those bring heat to coldest days" „Only then will the name be brought, and flame reunited with the one thought gone" -poem from the lost guide

Path of the Blade by ThinkingB4Sinking

As Cornifer met a warrior inside of the caverns, she changed the way he viewed his life as a whole. Later, in a more propitious moment in their lives, they meet again and decide to learn to know each other and share precious moments together. But caverns became more and more dangerous, as kingdoms were collapsing on themselves and the mindless bugs were escaping in the wilderness. They will have to be more cautious than ever if they want to keep living ; perhaps, even, team up with unknown and exciting wanderers such as warriors, hunters, pilgrims and cartographers to get their way out of the danger lurking in the dark. The characters Cornifer and Iselda (and the one appearing in the eleventh chapter) belong to Team Cherry and are from the game : Hollow Knight. The character "Shakra" belongs to the (non yet existant) game : Hollow Knight Silksong by Team Cherry, as well. The rest are originals and are not appearing in the original products. !! Play Hollow Knight !!

Tales of Hallownest: Light Knight - Part I by JosephASReis

Amidst the silence of the howls of lamentation and storm, a naive effigy opposes the unknown in search of its roots, facing the secrets that submerge a kingdom in ruins. Tales of Hallownest is a collection of stories created and based on the 2017 platformer Hollow Knight, developed by Team Cherry, that expands and develops the discontinued stories of Hallownest's past, present, and future, bringing a wider comprehension of the universe around the kingdom. In Light Knight's first installment, we take on the role of a small masked wanderer awakened by an unknown distant call, roaming through a desolate kingdom in search of a new purpose to follow as he uncovers more about his past and origins to confront a familiar face. The first part is still being developed and can suffer adaptations and updates throughout its writing. I count on the help of public feedback to bring the best version of it, as I plan to make the other 2 parts, as well as the many follow-ups that begin from this one. Art is mine. Do not use it without my permission.
