Summary
The story of an initially-nameless Soldier FA-model Nikke, built to be a footsoldier in an endless war, and her struggle to find a place for herself in a world that has taken everything from her, including her memories.
This is my homage to Nikke, and the incredibly dark, dystopian SF world in which it’s set. It’s not a happy setting, and this will not be a happy story: there will be lots of depression, introspection, misery, trauma, and pain. The main characters are all regular, mass-produced Nikkes, with no plot armour and no superpowers. I’ll try to keep it as lore-accurate as I can, but intersections with the main plot will be minimal (it’s mostly set before the events of chapter 1), and appearances from in-game characters will be few and far between. There will eventually be some F/F romance.
8/7/26 UPDATE: This story is now complete with chapter 91.

Summary
Mostly a retelling of the bond story from Snow White: Innocent Days, plus some bits from Ark Guardian, from the perspective of Snow White looking back from the present day after regaining her memories.
I take for granted here that Snow White has a (one-sided, unreciprocated) crush on Lilith. Why else pile on all that white lily symbolism?
A sister-story to Close as is the Scarlet to the Rose.

Summary
A short, experimental piece retelling the events of ‘New Year, New Sword’ from Scarlet’s perspective, and hence written entirely in an approximation of early modern English. It’s modernised a bit for ease of reading, but I’ve tried to get it closer than the game does!
It also pushes a bit at the question – given their memory wipes, how sure can we really be that Scarlet and Rose were actually sisters?
Their shared themes mean that this is a sort of sister-work to my (longer, ongoing) Nikke fic, 'Falcon, Ascending', so if you want even more sad amnesiac robot girls feel free to check it out!
