Summary
Silksong, as we know, was pretty damn hyped right up until its release. And on the day of September 4th, counting down to that release date, I could not wait to get my hands on that sweet new game. Woke up, biked to school as usual, and - as fate would have it - ended up dying in a ditch when some jerk on a motorcycle crashed into me.
Fortunately, I was still able to play Silksong.
Unfortunately, I was now in Silksong.
So in addition to having to figure out where the hell I was and what the hell my next course of action was, it was now apparently up to me to be Hornet, kick ass and save Pharloom. No pressure.

Summary
The Pale King suspects no Vessel is truly hollow, that his plan was flawed from the start. Even the purest Vessel chosen will be unable to contain the Old Light for more than a few decades - but time is still time, and time is precious, and the King has thousands upon thousands of Vessels on his hands.
For safety, each Knight is discarded after a year. Vessels are pulled from the Abyss, trained and grown at reckless speeds, then sealed away with the Dreamers to keep the Infection contained. Hallownest prospers, reclaiming its former glory while perched high on the broken shells of its rulers’ dead children.
The King’s revised plan works perfectly. Until it doesn’t.
(An AU in which PK keeps replacing the Vessel in the Black Egg with a fresh one, with Hallownest none the wiser. Until he picks Hollow, who has a plan to break the cycle and get their siblings out of the Abyss. Unfortunately for all of Hallownest, disastrous plans run in the family.)

Summary
Iterators are built to last. They experiment for hundreds upon thousands of cycles, building off previous tests, learning from previous iterations, taking miniscule steps towards the elusive Solution - who's to say whether they're even heading in the right direction? Regardless, they try, and try, and try, until they are too burdened down by the weight of their inevitable failures to try anymore.
Even then, they remain, semi-eternal. The mind remains until the can collapses.
FSA's mind does not.
Which is arguably very, very bad for the local group, because this far north, it's a little difficult to deal with an Iterator that specializes in wrecking shit in various interesting ways. Especially when he hasn't got a clue who they are.

Summary
"What if I help you?" Grace blurts out desperately, sweating even in the coolness of his house as his words finally manage to stop Adrian from storming out.
"What?" Adrian says after a tense moment.
"I can prove it to everyone," Grace says, his heart in his throat. "I'll - I'll make you and Rocky the most celebrated couple on Erid. I promise."
"Stupid human," Adrian hisses. "You would give up your chance for him just like that?"
"Yes," Grace says hoarsely.
"Anything for him."
***
Adrian does not like Grace.
Which sucks, really, since Grace loves Adrian's husband and all.

A comic re-posted from my Tumblr
There's no reason Simon would wake up on the Hail Mary and act rationally after dying in a blood ocean.
So, he doesn't
Good luck to Grace and Rocky
