Summary
Hornet is intrigued by the gleaming knight patrolling the Citadel, but stopping to make friends goes against its directive. What would it take to free it from its programming? What life would it create for itself then?
or
“You are a sentinel of the Citadel–broken as it may be–but you also have a heart. I’ve seen it myself. There is no shame in this fact. It is an integral part of how you were designed.”

Summary
“Its noble valiance has not gone unnoticed by our fellow pilgrims, red maiden! Without its aid, many of them would not have survived the journey here,” Sherma continued, unperturbed by her pondering. “I and many others only wish to show thanks for ceaselessly protecting us with its golden blades, as you do with your needle. To return the blessing that this holy place has given us.”
Hornet stopped the rotation of her spools. “…You wish me to extend hospitality on your behalf- to invite it to this settlement?”
In which one simple wish strings together the paths of Hornet and the Second Sentinel across the Citadel.

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.

Summary
I stared down at myself. Red dress. Long black limbs. I reached up, expecting to feel hair, and my weirdly thin, spindly fingers touched two smooth curved horns.
“No freaking way.”
I was in the game.

So what do you do when you wake up in Silksong on the morning of release day?
Get right into saving Pharloom, of course.

Summary
When the Infection ended without explanation, the Dreamers arose from their slumber, and the land of Hallownest began to drag itself back to life, Hornet knew there would be troubles yet to come. With most resources scarce, many of the surviving bugs left disabled by the disease, and the vast majority of agricultural infrastructure devastated, Hallownest may yet be undone: not by a higher being, but the mortal logistics of hunger. When scouts from Pharloom arrive and attempt to capture a Weaverling, Hornet sees an opportunity to turn what could be another disaster into a chance for Hallownest to recover.
Pharloom is, as always, starved for Silk. When the Grand Mother's wayward daughters are located, under the protection of a Wyrm, forcibly reclaiming them would be dangerous. Fortunately, Hallownest is willing to offer up its Weaver princess for marriage in exchange for supplies that can easily be spared. Accompanied only by her silent knight, such a creature will surely be vulnerable to the manipulations of Pharloom's court.
One third political drama, one third weird sword lesbian situationship, one third Five Knights At Pharloom's Is At The Organ And Going To The Play Me.
