    This is my home for Pixlriffs-centric one shots that I’m just throwing out there as short form projects. Unconnected to each other unless otherwise stated, and can all be read stand alone.

    Summary

    Quirrel does not particularly want to be in this hot spring. He doesn't particularly want to be anywhere, as exhausted as he is.

    There is, however, something he needs to attend to. An injustice, a hurt, he desperately wants to soothe.

    He did not mean to react the way he did. He is, evidently, far from the first. This cannot stand.

    Summary

    Once, Xero the Bold was renowned as one of the Five Great Knights of Hallownest. Once, he was something more than an epitaph reading nothing more than the words, Cursed are those who turn against the King. Once, he had friends, and was proud to serve his king.

    And then, once, he met a moth at the edge of the world, where the ash falls and secrets will kill to be kept.

    Summary

    Things… change.

    Ghost supposes that many would probably say that they get better. They do get better, don’t they? Yes, they do. Things change, and they are better. The Infection is gone, and Hollow is safe, and Hornet is happy, and so Ghost is fine. Perhaps they are selfish, and they mourn a dying world that they can never return to, and they are more alone than ever before, but they’ll get over it.

    …And it’s not as if anyone will notice if they don’t.

    -
    Ghost goes back in time, kills the Radiance, and sets everything right. They tell no one, and do it on their own. It is only after their family is happy, and the kingdom is safe, and the Abyss is soothed to sleep, that they realize just how lonely it is as the last remaining piece of a future never to be.
