Dewi's Adventures in Hollow Knight: Dewi is a Bug Now oops by CarbFics
Fandoms: Hollow Knight (Video Games)
06 Jan 2026
Tags
Summary
Hallownest is a breathtaking long-ruined Bug Kingdom, sprawling with ancient lore, treacherous landscapes, and dangerous foes. The very place oozes with mystery and myth.
It just so happens this magical fantastical domain is right in the backyard of some Human kid named Dewi. And through some crazy and nonsensical adventure (i.e the comic), he's come to find out about the kingdom of said bugs. With Hallownest's Ghost and Hornet, he somehow defeated the Radiance only a week ago!
Things were looking up, except for his constant sneeze and sniffy nose... but his Dad said it's tree allergies. So it's probably fine!Dewi's happy to think that...until he ends up waking up in the body of a bug and shoved splat in the middle of the Hallownest Kingdom. Unsure, scared, and very confused, Dewi sets out to find his bug friends and reverse whatever curse has been laid on him, while making some new friends in the process.

Summary
After losing her battle with Hornet in the Cradle, Lace wanted nothing more than to lie down and wallow in her own despair. Now, in a changed Pharloom where everything is either in pieces or falling apart, and a new Queen who may be worse than the one they've just gotten rid of begins to stir, Lace finds that the world and something inside of herself won't give in so easily.
Hurting on both the inside and the outside, and accompanied by a very annoying pilgrim who keeps trying to be her friend, Lace finds herself at the forefront of a battle which will change not only the course of Pharloom, but the trajectory of her life forever.

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
What it says on the tin, basically! Oro adopts Lost Kin. Includes: fights to eat food, trying to sit still, writing lessons, nail lessons, bubbles, gambling (Oro literally teaches Lost Kin to gamble), honey, and lots of cuddles and hugs. This is a parent-raising-a-child story, and everything in this story is gen. It's about familial relationships and love, so all intimacy is familial and platonic in nature.
I PROMISE that, while there is sadness and tragedy, there WILL be a happy ending! I couldn't emotionally handle it myself, so while I love writing hurt, there will always be comfort and fluff to follow. :)
(I recommend obtaining the Dream No More ending before reading this in order to avoid any unwanted spoilers. Chapter one does have an on-screen suicide, but you can skip that by jumping to the end of the Hollow Knight poem.)
Misc Notes:
*Lost Kin is the main character, but they do not have a name for its majority. Most, if not all 'they/thems' refer to, well, them. :)
*The watchful one is Ghost/The Knight, who we play as in game
*The gentle one is the Greenpath VesselSeries

Summary
“Hey, I thought I might see you before the big launch,” you call out as they approach you. “Nerves getting the better of you?”
They don't reply, just... look at you for a while. They slowly scan over your clothes, your hands, your face, lingering at your scarred eye.
You arch a brow at them. “Need something, hatchling?”
Eventually, they settle within themself, square their shoulders, and look at you. “Think you can give me a hand with something for a minute?”
or - a series of goodbyes that didn't stick.

Summary
Iridium blinked awake in their ship, staring out over - it was not the solar system they were used to.
It wasn't a solar system at all. They couldn't see a sun, only a collection of spaceships and a Dark Bramble, all lit by each other's lights and the light of a sky more full of stars than they'd ever seen before.
(or - after the Eye of the Universe, the inhabitants of the Outer Wilds System find themself in a universe quite a bit like ours. There's an adjustment period.)

Summary
The light of the exploding singularity is brighter than anything Obsidian has ever imagined. Breathtaking as a spark of hope when they thought everything was lost. Obsidian would know, they'd worn that feeling like a second skin, loop, after loop, after loop. The feeling still holds them even as pure light, pure possibility, consumes them. Then, nothing.
Obsidian wakes up…

Summary
It is the end. The curtains are going to close just as they've been destined to. You've said it. Feldspar will be back on Timber Hearth no matter what they say and the sun will burn red one final time and Gabbro will be launched into orbit via cyclones for the last time. Like the sole decider for when the universe should die, with a swirling behemoth of grief maybe-maybe not come to peace yet.
And yet it doesn't. And somehow the one of the only constance Gabbro had during the loops is gone so suddenly.
They're not sure they really prefer this outcome.—
Hatchling goes missing, at the end of it all.

Summary
Five Pebbles was pretty sure his story was coming to an end, alone in the snow, covered by his collapsed superstructure with no way out.
The world, however, gave him a second chance in the form of a weird green thing that seemed to...
...Throw him back in time?
Now with memories of freezing cold and information on how to not only fix the rot, but also fix Moon as well, he promised himself he would do whatever he could to never have to relive this awful cold all alone.
The isolation, cold, pain, and hundreds of thousands of cycles worth of thinking made him dead set on never going through that ever again. Even if that meant ripping off his umbilical before that could ever happen.In the meantime... The rest of the local group is confused. After all, the Pebbles they knew was a pretensious jerk who killed Moon then cut all communications, but the one that came back to them was a paranoid mess who seemed to space out every few minutes.
...How odd.Series

Summary
Five Pebbles is being consumed by his past mistakes. His can festers away, each cycle spreading the malignant Rot inside, and struggle as he may, there is no escape. But a single pearl, stumbled upon by his last citizen, Artificer, in a stroke of pure luck, shows him a way out. A way to free himself from his can, escape the Rot, and maybe find a way to redeem himself for his past. It's as simple as cutting a puppet's strings.
The outside world is dangerous, but with determination and fierce companionship, Pebbles and his group of strange slugcat companions can not only survive, but find a place for themselves in the world, where the new civilizations of slugcat and scavenger rise from the ashes of the ancients. The ghosts of the past can be overcome, and a new future found, but it will require no shortage of bravery, insight, and determination.
Breaking free is just the first step. The real challenge begins after.

Summary
I think I know too much. I think… I think I’ve been here before. I think I remember being here before.
“I’ll see you soon.”
The words slip unbidden from your mouth, almost involuntarily. You open your eyes to see the princess nod and raise the knife.
“Hey. I love you.”
Then, all too clearly, you have a terrible realization. For this to work, you have to believe that she can make you forget. And you don’t, if your bleeding memory is any indication. You don’t believe anymore.
But you don’t have time to contemplate the consequences of that realization. There’s an agonizingly familiar, piercing pain in your chest; then everything goes dark, and you die.
