Love Like Sin, Vice Like Virtue by Coming_from_the_forest
Fandoms: Hollow Knight (Video Games)
28 Nov 2025

Summary
Sometimes, man has to play god to keep the world from ending. The hubris cannot hurt you if the monster you created won't let it.
And if falling in love with said monster was not in the original plan... well. Quirrel could certainly be swayed.

Summary
Quirrel is succesfully out of his bad relationship, thanks to Ghosts help, and they're both slowly learning to deal with the fall-out. Unfortunately, though, the problem of "Her" isn't over quite yet, and that is not even counting in Ghosts troublesome feelings towards their best friend...
some chapters are more connected than others, but there is an overarching story <3

Summary
Attending court parties can become a dangerous activity when you really, really, really hate one of the crown princes of the kingdom (which also makes you unfortunately very fucking horny), and said prince is starting to get really tired of your incessant bitching

Summary
Even though Ghost has found their footing again and gained control over the Abyss, and even if they can now call Quirrel their boyfriend, They still need to find a new oracle, and Quirrel still needs to finish his thesis, and The Pale King needs to become a better person, and Monomon is seeking for more chaos, and someone should probably go and check up on Unn already...
This is the second part to We are But Dust and Shadows. Mostly will not make sense without reading that one, but I can't tell you what to do, so go ahead.

Summary
The Archives conservatory is undoubtedly haunted. Things don't stay in their designated places, electrical components behave oddly, shadows bend wrong at the corners: there are eyes in the darkness and reflections in the glass that shouldn't be there. Very few bugs, faculty or students, are willing to go there alone during daytime, and even less so when night engulfs the quiet hallways.
Quirrel though? Well he's not a pussy, and he has work to do, whether there are ghosts or not.

Summary
I deconstructed Heterochromia_Mars's Discord skin and reconstructed a new one that should work slightly better on screens of all sizes, especially mobile screens.
Note: Please check Chapter 3 for CSS code whenever the skin updates!

Summary
Explains:
● how to make a work skin;
● how to view fics' work skin rules;
● how to colorize text and circle words and highlight backgrounds (examples in head-note), and change and resize your fonts;
● how to turn all links blue-underscore automatically;
● the CSS code for diacritics to render properly, e.g.: “ầ” & “ồ” (with diacritics not superimposed), or “ị” (with underdot directly beneath, not kerned to the left), without breaking words such as “gầu” or “vịt” (using a monotype font for these letters would create gaps to each side of the ầ or the ị). Head-note has corrected examples;
● Site Skin addenda to block / shrink tags, and block authors / works;
● even a quick way (code included) to simply make a Site Skin so that you can read everything in your font of preference!Full code is included.
I read, appreciate, and reply to all of your comments — they're always welcome!
