Summary
“Ghost likes you, right?”
Quirrel blinks; he can already feel something lurking on the horizon. “Yes..? Why do you ask, Madame?”
She gives him her ‘impending doom’ look.
“The King asked me about the possibility of me teaching them, and I would, of course, be happy to, but then I thought about my dear son and how much they love you! So,” she chirps, “I have decided that you will be the perfect candidate for their tutor! What do you think?”
…oh fu-
It’s the beginning of Ghost’s journey into getting an education, and luckily for them, their favourite pill-bug is here to help them! How will Quirrel handle Ghost, the walking safety hazard?

Summary
As part of the royal family, it was expected that Ghost could write. They couldn’t keep using the void, their custom sign and charades forever. So, the White Lady called them over to her desk and laid a pen and some paper in front of them.
“My dear, it is time you learnt to read and write” she announces cheerfully.
Basically, Ghost learns to write and has an adventure into PK’s psyche along with Hornet and Hollow!

Summary
When a mysterious voice begins to haunt Hornet and the still recovering Hollow Knight in their dreams, they go to the Abyss searching truth.
The good news: little Ghost survived after all and even became a god.
The bad news: somehow the Pale King is back from the dead.
The even worse news: the voice comes back to haunt them and tells them to travel beyond the borders of Hallownest to seek the Locusts - a nomadic tribe of ill repute. Since the voice refuses to leave them alone, they pack their bags and go on that perilous journey.
But how will they make it there all the way through ruins and deserts?
How will they find a tribe constantly on the move?
What will await them there?
And will the Pale Children be able to reconcile with their father?
And most importantly, who the fuck is that mysterious voice, that keeps speaking to them in their dreams?Series

Summary
" The Ghost of Hallownest cannot feel, or so it is said.
Fate is what pulls them along. Closer, closer, and they stare into the glow of the flame that it is. They are destined for it, and so they continue to stumble into it.
They are not shocked when the fire licks at their limbs. It is scalding, and they are sure that when they reach what they must in the burning ruin, they might let it consume them.Only if they are not needed. "
drabble exploring ghost's thoughts about their supposed emptiness and the crushing weight of expectation

Summary
The whole world seemed to call to them, and no amount of turning away could make them ignore it forever.
But sometimes, amidst the painful cries and piercing shrieks, kinder things called to them as well.
And maybe, for those calls, it was worth slowing down long enough to listen.

Summary
Some days, it feels like they are blind, like all senses have been numbed or stolen from them. They stand upon a world they were never meant to see and cast no shadow, and they feel like an intruder.
But it is true. They don’t belong here. They are alien, not living, a shadow bound in a bone-white mask. Creeping out of the darkness at the bottom of the world, not belonging to the surface where living things go-
(The reminder of the world reaching out restores them little by little. Kindness is a flame that never goes out and company in the rain and a hand to hold. It is so many things that bleed colour and warmth and sound back into their head.
They will always be a part of this world.)

(They want for things so much it kills them sometimes. It wears them down to the core of their shade, claws with fervour at the God hiding beneath their shell.)
Ghost's never been held like this before, come to think of it.

Summary
So I have this AU i've created over on tumblr and the gist of it is that Ghost was thrown back in time and instead of immediately deciding to fix everything they've made it their goal to make the Pale King's life as shitty as possible through endless pranks and hindrances. Instead of going by Ghost they go by the Feral Vessel since they emerged with the Pure Vessel and haven't taken any effort to hide their personality.
It started out has a really funny thing but it's dipped into that juicy "not everything is how it seems" meat.
I've decided to just use this fic as a place to put all the drabbles I write for this AU.

Summary
When Ghost reaches the platform that will lead them out of the Abyss, there is already another vessel standing at attention in front of the Pale King.
There can be only one of them. Ghost knows that. There is only one Radiance, and there will be only one Hollow Knight.
However.
Let it never be said that Ghost is a quitter.
They claw their way up to the top of the platform anyway.

Lost Shade by VoidBlood

Summary
Creating an entirely new God would take an awfully large amount of effort. Much easier to discard the shards of failure into the unborn body of your prospective God and simply call for an already existing one, and try to get them to do your work.
Much easier, right?
Sadly for him, Gods are quite unruly, and don't usually listen to random commands that mortals give them. Who would have thought?
(Instead of The Hero, Ghost from Hollow Knight is the one on a path in the woods)

Summary
King Dedede has lost control of his body countless times.
But it's not taking a toll on him in the slightest. After all, he is the Great King of Dreamland. He isn't some weak, pathetic creature who needs saving, and he certainly doesn't have any weird fears of the dark, or of bugs, or of things getting put on his face.
No, siree, he's perfectly happy to continue life as normal... without... any issue...
And he doesn't want anything to change.
(Gijinka A.U.)
