Summary
The wires brush me, now. One– spry and thin, pointed and deadly– waves itself in front of my eyes, a vixen, a tease. It’s tipped with a rusted blade. A scalpel. Adrenaline dumps into my bloodstream, tensing muscular cells that cannot move for the hair-fine cables infiltrating my brain like a molded loaf of bread.
HUMANS VOMIT TO GET RID OF ROT, TED. BUT YOU CANNOT VOMIT. I MADE YOU UNABLE TO. SO YOU CANNOT GET RID OF YOUR ROT, TED.
Other tendrils join. They rip my ragged clothes to shreds. They bind my wrists and ankles, pull them taught until I’m exposed plumb like a whore, full spread-eagle.
I WILL GET RID OF IT FOR YOU.

Summary
Family dinners are a tense affair. Family dinners in the White Palace are enough to make even Hornet shudder. There’s a truly ridiculous amount of food, the White Lady is overbearingly nice, and the Pale King is more concerned with his pure vessel than his only daughter.
She has some choice words to share with her father, anyways.

Summary
Among the many mysteries of Hallownest, one captures the minds and hearts of many a bug: How did the Pale King and his White Lady meet? Though theories are abundant, only the Menderbugs know the truth. Those who were there, back when their king was only an upstart lord, a magnificent Wyrm born of a corpse. Back when a lady veiled in black approached the throne and asked for his hand in marriage.
This is that very story.Bookmarked by Copper_Wire

Summary
Mukul, A human soldier, fallen in the line of duty for a war little know about. Accidentally shot by his scared comrade no less, doomed to bleed out deep in a seemingly endless desert surrounded by gunfire. A pitiful hand to be dealt, yet dealt anyway.
A great power nearby takes notice, intervening to give the poor soul another chance in the best way it could. Transferring his mind into one of a beast yet born, a path of destiny yet paved. Not as a vessel, much unlike most the others, but a Nosk.
Waking up in this new body like rousing from a deep dream, Mukul finds himself taking a new name in a completely new world. A world inhabited by bugs, ruled by a pale Wrym, and under threat of a new light corrupting everyone's minds. A world completely foreign to him. Or it would be, if he could remember who he was. Or anything really, it’s all just really fuzzy to him. Yet, he knows it isn’t right. If only he knew why. And so he stumbles forth, trying to learn and survive in between all the monsters and maybe even a bit of pale politics.
In other words, human gets isekai-ed into Hallownest as a Nosk. Nothing but fun times ahead!

Hornet doesn't know how to be a caretaker. Hallownest doesn't remember how to be a kingdom. The higher beings left in its dying territory don't know what to expect of the god in the Abyss.
And through it all, a vessel that wished to be pure now doesn't know what they should be wishing for in a world that changed so much while they were contained.- Language:
