Summary
Her mask, her fangs, her fur, her claws, and her silk; all undeniably a mark of Hornet’s Weaver heritage. All of it, she damned.
and
It had been a long time since her mother had entrusted her with such a task. This time, Lace would not fail.
Varlet Child Hornet; Weaver spawn yearning desperately for companionship in a world where her kind are infamous and feared.
Silk Hunter Lace; a silk-born construct carrying the burden of a long ago failure, fallen from her mother’s good graces and clinging to her fragile existence.-
(This is an AU fic for my AU, The Varlet Prince! Also known as the trans girl Hornet AU or the “What on earth happened to Lace??” AU. Hornet never stood sentinel over Hallownest, and Lace is no longer the golden child. Yippee!)

Summary
What it says on the tin, basically! Oro adopts Lost Kin. Includes: fights to eat food, trying to sit still, writing lessons, nail lessons, bubbles, gambling (Oro literally teaches Lost Kin to gamble), honey, and lots of cuddles and hugs. This is a parent-raising-a-child story, and everything in this story is gen. It's about familial relationships and love, so all intimacy is familial and platonic in nature.
I PROMISE that, while there is sadness and tragedy, there WILL be a happy ending! I couldn't emotionally handle it myself, so while I love writing hurt, there will always be comfort and fluff to follow. :)
(I recommend obtaining the Dream No More ending before reading this in order to avoid any unwanted spoilers. Chapter one does have an on-screen suicide, but you can skip that by jumping to the end of the Hollow Knight poem.)
Misc Notes:
*Lost Kin is the main character, but they do not have a name for its majority. Most, if not all 'they/thems' refer to, well, them. :)
*The watchful one is Ghost/The Knight, who we play as in game
*The gentle one is the Greenpath VesselSeries

Summary
Another "Oro adopts Lost" fic, yay! Not in same universe as Stay and Be Safe, but if you like that story you'll probably like this one, too. It's a lot more antagonistic and I'd say leans more on the comedic side of things.
I don't know how to summarize this fic other than, "I wrote it when I was angry/annoyed/upset and it shows" lol. Oro sees Lost being a menace to society and asks, "is anyone going to adopt this kid?" without waiting for a reply.

Summary
The battle and the events that happened shortly after it took everything out of Kris and Susie.
Almost everything.
Despite the blood red SOUL having control over their body, it never could pull all the strings. Some decisions they were still able to make, and this was going to be final decision with the SOUL inside. It was a risky bet, but they only had one chance, and this was it. It would be easier now, thanks to Dess.
Kris hoped that Susie remembered the plan they told her last night.
~~~
At the end of it all, the connection between the Light and Dark Worlds is severed after the last Dark Fountain has been sealed.
With hope crossed on her heart and Kris by her side, Susie will do anything to reform this connection.Bookmarked by rriffraft

Summary
After a long day of "studying" at the Librarby and goofing off around town, Susie walks Kris home. To no one's surprise, the human had completely neglected to mention that they had THREE younger siblings, and seeing them interact with the kids leads to her seeing a whole new side to her new best friend.
