Summary
A snow white deer haunts the plains. Legend says that she is fast as the wind, fickle as the rain, and bright as a star. Though many have tried, no one has ever managed to capture her.
What the legends don't mention, however, is that pack deer tend to go missing in her wake.- Language:

Summary
The journey of a vessel who escapes the slaughter of their kin and makes it out into the wider world beyond Hallownest; the trauma of the events and a stubborn denial making them promptly forget their past and their siblings.
An unknown force calls them back to the kingdom of their creation, and they’re torn between investigating the strangely familiar visions and sights that plague them, and burying it deep in the recesses of their memory yet again; all the while meeting people on the way and trying to navigate the unsteady waves of friendship.

Summary
Hornet woke in the Black Egg Temple to the sight of her sibling's fractured mask. For the walk from the temple's central chamber to its exit, she thought herself truly alone in the world once more.
When Hollow followed her out, she realized that wasn't so. But now she has to try and take care of her older sibling as they recuperate and learn to live in a world where they do not have to be pure, figure out what to do about what Little Ghost left of a body, and try to piece together two kingdoms which fell long ago.
Life keeps throwing her surprises, too, which does not help.
(Post-Dream No More ending, though it's fudged and mixed with the Godseeker endings some. Characters and tags will be updated as more chapters are posted.)

Summary
Runt hatched the last of Huntress's brood: small, weak, and destined to die in the harsh wilds of Pharloom without the support of the brood. That's just how the world works, nature red in tooth and claw. But sometimes, a completely different world reaches out a helping claw. A foreign stranger introduces the little hunter to another way to live, where "I" is not weak without "us," and people have more to offer than the strength of their shell alone.
*****
Decades after the defeat of the Radiance, the Abyss is at peace and the rebuilding of Hallownest has ushered in a new era of stability, one free of divine machinations. Until Hornet is taken. The Hollow Knight mounts a rescue only to find their efforts unnecessary and not entirely welcome. They just want to go home. But first, they have to deal with a pesky little apocalypse.
