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
When the first try leads to the death and destruction of everything and one you knew, what would be the next best thing to do?
Why, to travel back in time of course!
Again and again and again, until the perfect ending is found.

Summary
There's one thing that everyone agrees on. The little Knight, also known as the Ghost of Hallownest, the Vessel born of God and Void, the Lord of Shades and the Holder of The Eternal Cycles, is strange.
How strange? Well, they always seem to be in places they aren't supposed to be. They can tell you the history of that one particular bench in great detail in one moment, and run straight into a wall they swore didn't exist the next.
Every step they take is calculated, dancing through the broken kingdom as if they owned it. Every breath they take is measured, their back hunched, as if carrying a great weight.
Their movement sharp, yet "words" soft. Always willing to bring you to safety, but will not hesitate to cut you down, should you ever stand in their way.
…
You know, you aren't supposed to refer them by that last title.
In fact.
You're not supposed to be even reading this.
A time loop/regression fic that asks two questions;
What does it take to get a perfect ending, and what constitutes as "perfect"?Series
- Part 6 of Exchange shenanigans
- Part 1 of no cost too great (are you sure it's all worth it?)

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.- Language:

Summary
“Lies and truths are nothing compared to the weight of sincerity.”
That’s what her grandmother used to say—long before the scandal.Cifera, better known as Cipher, is the famed demigoddess of trickery, heir to the power of Zagreus. Often dismissed as just a petty cat thief, she remains a mystery to all who cross her path.
But is it really that simple?
Or, to put it plainly:
The story of Cipher—before, during, and after the canon—told from her own perspective.
