If you haven't beaten at least one of the hollow knight endings (preferably the "true ending"/dream no more ending) there will be spoilers. I do not own hollow knight, that belongs to team cherry. This is just something I did because I was bored. And major spoilers ahead so if you haven't already played hollow knight GO DO THAT RIGHT NOW AND ONLY COME BACK AFTER YOU BEAT RADIANCE. Done? Alright now we can get context.
P.S: this story is inspired by 'silent city' by vaarion. That story is infinitely better than this one, so go read it.
This story takes place years after the events of the hollow knight "true ending" where the knight defeats the radiance. I wants make everything more human because I'm lazy, so I just used the "its been a few hundred years so yah they are different" excuse. Also this is technically about zombies, just not quite normally. The radiance has been sealed away for as long as it takes between the events of hollow knight, and this story. But now the radiance is starting to infect people's minds, but not through their dreams. This time one zombie kicks off an outbreak, and yah, they spread by biting people. But the radiance isn't the only one who shows up. The knight and the hollow knight reappear magically to deal with this threat. Also a few unexpected other characters appear. And can't forget the government research institute that has taken quite an interest in the void and hallownest though the giant crack that appeared. May be very cringe in the beginning, but bear with me. It does get better. I hope.

Uneasy Comfort.
So um this story may be on hold as I have lost interest and have no idea how to continue the story... . (Disclaimer, there is NO smut/inappropriate things, just cute and wholesome~♡ but warning, there may be some dark themes throughout.) . . This story is basically a sonic the hedghog fanfic. It's set in a dystopian reality. im still figuring out everyone's stories even the main plot. But I just go along as my mind pleases. The main 'object' that stirs this story is a plant, named the agony night floret, that infects living things. It was created accidentally in a facility by money hungry mobian scientists and main boss, scarlett the fox. she is the main 'villian', surprsingly not eggman lol. the agony night floret infects mobians, putting them in these stages. first a purple blue rash, then disconfiguration then having the chance to rott and turn into creepy lifeless zombie ish creatures, not hostile but really contagious. They roam around isolated areas. Or, they have the small chance by transforming into these cannibalistic 'flesh-gorgers', coming in different types, 3-4 times bigger than hosts/Mobians size. sonic and his friends travel firstly through the thick, white, winter forests, named 'Nobelwoods' in Nahada, trying to find the facility of where it all happened, while unexpectedly coming across a familiar haze of a huge mossy concrete structure of shadows old-old home. Burnt. It will be told why in the story. I have posted drawings of the characters/unfamiliar characters to understand better of what their appearances looks. thankz for reading this far if u have :) (I'm rambling abt the lore lol) . . . . Cover art drawn by myself :)

Far after the events of A Hat in Time, Hat Kid is back to her normal time traveler duties and ends up lost in the ruined kingdom of Hallownest, Hat Kid; who is now 283years old (relatively 17 in human years) must adapt to the mad world she has gotten stuck in. Hat Kid meets familiar faces from Hollow Knight who help and/or hinder her in her quest to find timepieces. She must either leave Hallownest or help save it from the infection that plagues it, which is kind of the responsibility of time travelers, but this kingdom is no ordinary world by time traveler standards. Hat Kid try's not to go literally insane from all the chaos around her. Gaining new awareness, skills and gear from the world of Hollow Knight, she may just make it out. She will do what needs to be done in order to survive this psychotic world. (There is a bit of blood (Possibly not highly detailed gore) in some of the action scenes which is about as graphic as it will get... kind of, but it's not "human" blood so it's fine right?) Hat Kid belongs to (A Hat In Time) By Gears for Breakfeast Most of the characters that show up and are not mentioned by Hat Kid belong to Team Cherry's (Hollow Knight)Complete

Hollow Knight Fanfic - The White King's Return
"You can devour the light with your darkness, but you will never extinguish its brightness. You can create the perfect vessel, a container of absolute darkness, but there is something you can never create. A container empty. Well, everything that crawls, flies or walks will always... always have a soul. And every soul can be corrupted." Last words of Monomon, the teacher, to the White King before falling into her deep sleep. The Hollow Knight has been replaced. The Radiance that swept through the channels of so much of the kingdom, now it's just a nightmare of days of the past. The knight, after his long journey, took his place as the new Hollow Knight, and now he rests in his eternal litigation to contain the rot that lives in his inside. Along. Inside the Temple of the Black Egg. An eternal condemnation from which he could never escape. But if one thing is certain, it is that, unlike meat, light can never be devoured. Now. For those of you who have already finished the game and were drawn by the poetic introduction, there are a few things I want to clarify so that you can understand this story. 1 - This story takes place between the events of the original game and the Hornet prequel. 2 - This story was made before the release of the prequel, so I apologize in advance if something doesn't match the lore in the future. 3 - The ending chosen was in which the knight is sealed with the Radiance inside the temple of the Black Egg and Hornet survives. What the fans call ending #1. 4 - The events of the Soul of Steel mode do not apply 5 - The seeker of gods was never found 6 - Zote was not rescued and died at the start of the game. (I know this seems silly, but believe me when I say that this will be the first link in the butterfly effect that will develop this entire plot) With everything clarified given the large number of possible endings, we begin with the story.Complete
Vessel
This is a hollow knight self insert. I'm doing my best to make it as accurate as possible, and there are MAJOR spoilers. If you don't like self inserts, or haven't finished Hollow Knight yet, this story isn't for you. Otherwise, it's a bit comedic, so I hope you enjoy! (For obvious reasons, this story is not canon, I am in no way affiliated with team cherry, and they own all rights to hollow knight and everything in it. I just wanted to write a story. Should a request appear for this story to be taken down, it will be.) Also, I'm only posting this story on Wattpad, so if you see it somewhere else, I didn't put it there, they did, without so much as asking me.Complete
