Hollow Knight (Video Games)
Paper Crafted Onion Pets
by CantarellaChan
Isma the Kind, knight of the Pale King, is entrusted with care of an odd, papery child called only a Vessel, with the explicit instructions to not show it any love or affection. Of course she dotes on it; she *is* Isma the Kind, after all. Meanwhile, her found sister Ze’mer is head-over-heels for the heiress of the xenophobic Mantis tribe, Saoirse. The forbidden romance only grows when Saoirse’s aunts attempt to bar her from seeing the knight in question. However, at the same time, the Mantis Lords are beginning to question if what they thought they knew was right, especially as the middleborn lord grapples with her growing empathy for the nightclub singer Marissa, currently trapped in an abusive relationship with the Hive Queen Vespa.
