List of Fanfic and Fanart that inspired me to write rpieav (Part 1)
I tried to list every possible influence on rpeiav that I could remember (but honestly I’ve read so many fanfics and fanart I think I forget what parts are fanon. Feel free to remind me)
(Also functions as a general fic rec/fanart rec list for similar themes or styles)
Major Inspiration/Influences
Fic: Butterfly Effect by Ashyr.
The four vessels and the Collector. Especially Swallowtail. I love their take on the vessels. (Before this fic, I didn’t give a second thought to the other vessels.) Also their Collector. I’m borrowing them for my au.
Fic: Hidden in Plain Sight by RedDitchWitch.
The Pale King training two vessels instead of one
Fic: The Shenanigans of a Blind Vessel by KC_R.
The light-hearted tone and baby vessel shenanigans. 
The Pale King and the White Lady
Art: Little God AU and My Husband AU by hawaiianbabidoll
For happy PK and a loving wyrmroot relationship
Art: catarium’s entire hollow knight tag
Wyrmroot and cute vessels
Family Dynamics
Fic: Purity is Fake by hydrangeamaiden
The Hollow Knight’s childhood and many family feels
Fic: Off Balance by MrsLittletall
The Pale King discovers the Hollow Knight is not hollow.
(Royal Tutor Quirrel in my AU is from this I think)
Art: Pale Court AU by pickles4nickles
Happy family and the four vessels are knights!
Sibling Dynamics
Fic: Wintertime Woes by DoobleBugs, Pinkrhin0
Big Sister Hornet!
(Anything by DoobleBugs and Pinkrhin0 really)
Art: Vessel duo au by scribbleshanks
Ghost and Hollow on an adventure in Hallownest!
Art: Idiot siblings au by thecornermushroom
Hollow, Hornet, and adult!Ghost and adult!Grimmchild being silly siblings
Fic: A Watcher's Duty by Nym_P_Seudo
Small Hornet and Hollow and Lurien
(Not strictly sibling dynamics, I just enjoy child Hornet more than baby Hornet. And I like Lurien in this)
Nailmasters (I have a special love for the nailmasters. I mean, they have grudges, relationships, and lives that aren’t directly related to the fall of Hallownest! It adds to the charm of the game (Also they’re friend-shaped))
Art: rondoel
Nailmasters!Nailmasters!Nailmasters!
Fic: These Are the Days That Bind Us by TheRechercheRambler
(There’s also a list of ‘inspired by’ in the first chapter for more Nailmasters & Vessels)
Fic: Lil' Nailmasters series by Pollyannam3
Dadsage Sly and little nailmasters! 
Fic: Tales of a Nailsage by an_awful_disaster
Dadsage Sly
Also, lots of baby Hornet (even though I prefer child Hornet over baby Hornet), and wyrmroot fanart (because they’re an odd couple and very difficult to write).
