Undercover (Just Don't Do That, Like, Ever REWRITE) by beans_o_plenty for maskerat

Summary
Tiso had a very clear mission: get into Gladiator’s Square, quietly pay a blacksmith to repair his shield, pass over some hush money to keep his identity secret, and get out.
Simple, but not easy, since he was supposed to be dead…
All of this, though, was made even more complicated by the fact that, through some demented chain of events, he had allowed that damned little dungling, the squib, to tag along.
Why, again, did he even agree to this? Dear gods…
———————————————————————————————————————————————
TL;DR: Tiso accidentally drags Ghost into a street fight in Kingdom’s Edge, and both come out injured. They pick up more than a few of his bad habits. Hornet is not happy about any of this…
Content warning for fighting and violence.

Summary
Pharloom is instantly unkind to the foreign spiderling, starting with shattering her mind, sense of safety, and her leg.

What if Hornet's injuries from the fall down into Moss Grotto were much more severe and lasting?

Summary
Quirrel rapped his fingers against the railing of the cold, ornate bench, humming a strangely familiar tune. He turned to the sound of the elevator’s chain clinking, curious to see what other travelers might be wandering this ancient Kingdom.
A sopping wet, tiny figure hopped off the metal box.
OR
A short drabble about Quirrel meeting Ghost in the City of Tears while they're in rough shape, sparking memories of his past.

Summary
Collection of Hollow Knight works based on prompts from the Maylancholy 2025 list. This series is best read in order because the prompts are pretty interconnected and there is somewhat of an overarching plot.
You can find the full prompt list here:
https://www.tumblr.com/may-lancholy/779538893224787968/please-check-out-the-rules-before-beginning-to?source=share)I started this knowing full well I wouldn't be able to write every day, so I just picked some prompts I liked and finished them in my own time. I originally chose 7 prompts, but I only finished the 5 you see below. The last two were rather stale and, honestly, they've been done to death.
Prompts I chose from the list:
1: “Don’t Leave Me Here.” - COMPLETED
5: “I Can’t Feel My Hands.” - COMPLETED
18 & 21: Possessed + Stabbed in the Back - COMPLETED
12 & 17: Dragged Back + Left Behind - COMPLETED
27: Forced Into Silence - COMPLETED- Words:

Orange Soda by coastmodern

Summary
The intruder enters the kitchen slowly, limbs held low to the ground. Their carapace tilts from side to side as they draw near, fixing their auricles on me.
The xenosuit they have on looks cobbled together, almost experimental. It’s not see-through like my team’s suits are. It wasn’t designed with my light detectors in mind. Instead, it’s dark and opaque, and not at all helping to dispel the impression of a masked burglar in my home.
I’ve never seen that body language in person before, but I understand it on an instinctual level. Eridians are the apex predators of their planet. It’s a hunting stance, and I am the prey.
or: Grace experiences a home invasion on Erid.

Summary
“What is a ‘field trip’?”
The unexpected question makes me stop in my tracks. I stumble over my own two feet and almost bite my own tongue which is a new low, even for me. If I keep going like this I am never going to beat the clumsy human allegations. At least Rocky is not here. If he’d witnessed my latest embarrassing blunder he would have found ways to tease me about it for a week straight. It’s unfortunate that my class has to see me like this but they are a lot more forgiving and understanding of their ungraceful teacher than my best friend. A fact I like to hold over his head from time to time.
Not that he cares. He maintains that he’s earned the right to mock me as much as he likes after having to watch me stumble and fall repeatedly over the same threshold for four years.
And maybe he’s not wrong.
Don’t ever tell him I said that.
********
There is no way Grace can take the pebbles on a field trip. At least not without help.

Summary
Very gently, Rocky turns himself so his injured arm is right up against the xenonite. He keeps it in his brace constantly, tucked under his carapace, so I've barely seen it at all. Looking at it now, the discolouration has spread a lot and part of it's just…gone. Like when acid eats away at metal. I kind of want to throw up.

Summary
When Rocky wakes up after Adrian, he's relieved they're both alive, but immediately knows that something is off with Grace. He's having trouble breathing, sleeping a lot, and spiking fevers. As much as Grace wants to blame it on lung irritation from the ammonia in Rocky's atmosphere, Rocky knows he's downplaying it, and it's not going to work.
However, before he can actually do anything about it, the ship's power goes out. Taumoeba have gotten into the fuel and eaten all the astrophage, leaving them with no choice but to steal from the beetles.
Which are on the outside of the ship.
Which means two EVAs and a lot of lab work for Grace, all while his condition declines from what's quickly turning into a serious health problem. All Rocky can do is make sure he has what he needs and try to take care of him as best he can from afar, hoping they can get to safety before Grace's health is too fragile to recover. -
