Description
[Image ID: A Hollow Knight comic. The Pale King, with a marked crack over his face, offers a maraca to the Knight. “Here you are, little one,” he says. “This is a maraca.” The Knight takes the maraca and looks down at it in their hands. The Pale King continues, “It’s hollow inside, but it has some delightful little noise-makers inside of it. Give it a little shake.” The Knight gives the maraca a shake, making a ‘shaka’ sound all around them. In the next picture, the Knight delightedly shakes the maraca, many ‘shaka’ sounds coming as a result. Pale King and Hornet watch from a distance, Hornet’s eyes narrowed. Hornet turns her head to address the Pale King and asks, “Why would you do this, Wyrm? Now they’re never going to stop that racket.” The racket continues. End ID.]
AU where the Pale King wakes up after the Embrace the Void ending but instead of trying to start shit or being incredibly sad about himself and his life, he instead goes out of his way to actually be a good parent and enter retirement. And only be sad sometimes. Turns out, he's a pretty chill dude.

Also turns out, I'm writing a little fanfic inspired by Refuge and Regret and Say It on ArchiveOfOurOwn. It's called Mellow In Softness --check it out, if you're interested!
