Blind Cataloging: Chains of Hallownest by CynderMoon
Fandoms: Waifu Catalog - SwiftRosenthal, Hollow Knight (Video Games), Chainsaw Man (Manga)
15 Dec 2025

Summary
Okay let me reassess:
1) I have been Isekai’d into Hollow Knight (lovely!)
2) I apparently chose this but sold my memory of this for extra cash(?) (great job past me…)
3) If I want to leave I have to “capture” things
4) silver lining: I am Makima
I'm so royally fucked.
Or: Shameless Waifu Catalog fic with a protag who sold her memory of the Company. That and an abnormal obsession with violence.
Spiced chapters have * in the title.

Summary
A mixture of interludes, omakes, and other odds and ends set in the same AU as the main fic: I was constricted for the sin of apostacy but now I've reincarnated into an otome game even though I don't know what that is!
Won't make much sense unless you're reading that.

Summary
Unlike the trend, she's not the villainess.
How will the First Sinner, Atla, fare as the nerdy side character? Or will she take center stage?

And most importantly, will she manage to pass her history exam and still have time to work on her gadgets?This is a college. Not a high school. All bugs are proper dating age.

Summary
What does one do when even their most violent struggles fail them time and time again?
Well they give up something to go further back of course.
Afterall what better way is there to avert the future than to go back to a point in time in which you might be able to change it all, where strength long lost can be maintained and brought to bare against a new foe.
This would be the last time they'd return, and even if they were but an echo of who they once were, they would be giving it their all. One last time.

Summary

Summary
To illuminate the darkness one only needs a candle; to smother the sun, one needs a monster. To topple a god, one needs a primordial strength. So what does one need, if one is to try and find redemption?
As the dream plague known as The Infection spread across Hallownest, the Pale Court fought to save its bugs from the dangerous affliction. But one night, something changes. Dreams lie dark and still as a Sun falls near Dirtmouth. Its impact rattles more than the earth, it shakes Hallownest to its core. And what rises from the ashes could change everything, even moreso than its existence already has.
The question is, if it will make things better or worse. Or rather, if she will.

Summary
"That light foreseen has turned cold upon this kingdom.
The seeds of war have been sown, we do not invite it now.
May Its sacrifice bless our Hallownest Eternal."What if everyone in Hollow Knight lived during the golden days of the Pale King's rule?
This story follows the adventures of Hornet, Tiso, and the palace ghost, as they travel Hallownest in pursuit of their own goals. Hornet: a princess who wishes nothing more than to live a rugged life outside of her duties as the kingdom's heir, Tiso: an immigrant both looking to make a name for himself as a soldier and integrate into Hallownest's unfamiliar culture, and the knight: one of the Pale King's seven "impure vessels" who's seeking to find purpose in his life after not being chosen as the Hollow Knight.
As they interact, their goals eventually begin to intertwine into one singular mission: protecting Eternal from the wrath of the Radiance.(Bonus details: Quirrel is a scholar/espionage artist, the Pale Court knights are the king's law enforcement, nearly all of the Spirit's Glade spirits are alive/repurposed as extra characters throughout the story, and the Colosseum of Fools/The Grimm Troupe are criminal organizations.)
