The Rec Room was covered in decorations — confetti in every colour, balloons every corner. There was a large banner on the wall, the words obviously painted by hand in clumsy capital letters.

Kroos had made it to the sick bay, but even hiding the chocolates in her pocket, she couldn’t take another step forward. No matter how she thought about it, this seemed wrong — after what had happened today, there was no way she could hand Fang chocolates as if everything was fine. “Kroos? I know you’re there.” She stiffens. Then, preparing a sheepish smile on her face, she pulls back the curtain separating her from Fang’s hospital bed. “Eh? How did you know it was me?” Her friend smiles. “The curtain didn’t hide your shoes.” “Oh, right. I better make a complaint about that real fast. It’s compromising my pranks.”"sweetbitter" by vaguehope Summary: kroos had prepared chocolates for after the mission, but after fang's injury, it doesn't feel right anymore. day 13: chocolate of arktober 2026.

can you hear the cries of the dying stars?
(day 12: hourglass.)

🔖 #arknights #fics #arktober2026

Like falling dust following the tug of gravity, time flows inexorably forward. You watch from the ship as Priestess records the dying wails of the planet before you. Silhouetted against its great bulk, her insignificant figure makes it seem even more enormous. And yet, even that gigantic world, full of life and dreams just as yours was, is snuffed out in an instant. Priestess falls into darkness. Anxious, you wander back to the exit hatch — searching for her in the inky blackness. Your throat constricts. This was routine for the two of you, but you had begun to feel unnerved by the proximity of death. Her fascination with it. Sometimes, you wonder if she cares more about the beauty of the ending than averting it. If capturing the songs of the dying worlds was more valuable than saving them."there's beauty in demise" by vaguehope Summary: can you hear the cries of the dying stars? day 12: hourglass of arktober 2026. Notes: spoilers for chapter 14. linked somewhat dubiously to the theme by the theme of time running out, and the song hourglass by normandie, which inspired the title.

like any other night, ptilopsis dreams.
for the first time, someone else meets her there.

(day 11: originium.)

🔖 #arknights #fics #arktober2026

Ptilopsis no longer knows what it means to experience dreamless sleep. Ever since Device #9 was connected to her cerebellum, she has experienced these strange dreams, full of whispers and darkness and Originium dust. She has never once understood the words that were being said by that distant voice, one that spoke a language she didn’t recognise — not only that she did not speak, but that bore no resemblance to any of the languages spoken on Terra, to her knowledge. Her knowledge, from the day of Device #9’s installation, was greatly enhanced, the chip absorbing information as if it was hungry for it. If she didn’t know that language, than it must not exist. And yet… This time, she thinks she can make out the words.Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Archive Warning: No Archive Warnings Apply Category: Gen Fandom: 明日方舟 | Arknights (Video Game) Characters: Ptilopsis (Arknights), Priestess (Arknights) Additional Tags: Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence, Speculative, Emotional Manipulation, Psychological, Dreams, Spoilers for chapter 15, not quite angst but i'm back in my element if you get what i mean, ptilopsis lore makes me feel insane Language: English Series: Part 11 of arktober 2026 Stats: Published: 2026-10-12 Words: 2,220 Chapters: 1/1"the bird dreams in darkness" by vaguehope Summary: like any other night, ptilopsis dreams. for the first time, someone else meets her there. day 11: originium for arktober 2026.

amiya overexerts herself protecting the doctor. the doctor wants to make sure she'll never do it again. (day 9: suppressor.)

🔖 #arknights #fics #arktober2026

No matter how many times you tried to protect her, Amiya always ended up protecting you. It was not the first time, and it would not be the last — but it hurts just as much as it did at the beginning, as you rush to the medical bay. She looked so small, lying on the bed. She was a young woman now, but, to you, she was still a little girl, one that should never have had to face such nightmares. Her skin is pale, but as she sleeps, she looks peaceful. You remember the bullet that had been coming towards you, the cry of alarm that came too late. You remember the blast of black and white light as Amiya summoned a barrier to block it, before she dropped to the ground, sweat dripping down her face. You remember crying out her name. Amiya has pushed herself too much lately. You know that.

avitus is nothing but a humble anthropologist. however, even he has been forced to accept his work is not meaningless. (day 8: book.)

🔖 #arknights #fics #arktober2026

When I published my translation of “The Death of Life”, I did not expect it would receive any recognition. Compared to the other discoveries made by researchers in the mantle ruins that brought us new technologies and theoretical knowledge, it was an irrelevant text with no educational value. Furthermore, the subject matter was so devoid of hope that one had to pause before bringing it to the public’s attention: could a single person find worth in its pages? I believed it was a frivolous, meaningless project on my part. However, the response from the people was simply astounding."foreword of the new and expanded edition of "the death of life"" by vaguehope Summary: avitus is nothing but a humble anthropologist. however, as he admits in the foreword to the new edition of his translation, even he has been forced to accept his work is not meaningless. day 8: book of arktober 2026.

“Please, stay.” Perfumer clasps her hands to her chest. “The tea is almost ready. It would be such a good help if you could test it for us.” This silences Broca, who slumps back into his chair. He had taken advantage of the garden too many times when we was stuck for ideas — his pride didn't allow him to refuse Perfumer directly. Estelle, trying to appear as small as possible, eyes the delicate teacups. “Is this… really okay?” “Of course,” Podenco confirms. “We just hope you can enjoy yourselves and relax.” Nightmare smiles timidly. “Even the Doctor?” “Especially the Doctor,” declares Ceylon, as she places the steaming pot of tea on the table."a moment of peace" by vaguehope Summary: perfumer has a new innovation in aromatherapy to try, and it involves tea. some frequent visitors of the convalescent garden help her with testing. day 5: kettle of arktober 2026.

Ezell had sacrificed everything for her — his homeland, his job, everything that he knew — and this could very well be her fault. She cranes her neck over her back, where her shattered wings were, tears filling her eyes. Was her condition contagious? Perhaps he had spent too much time with her. Perhaps judgement had finally been passed on his desertion, and the Law that everyone so cherished had decided enough was enough. She had never experienced pain because of her condition, but looking at him now… “Mister Ezell… I’m sorry…” Her small shoulders wracked with sobs, she holds Ezell’s hand over the sheets, and — for the first time in her recent memory, perhaps in her life — begins to pray."i'll never leave your side" by vaguehope Summary: across terra, sankta lose their wings and halos. when ezell falls ill, cecelia tries to take care of him, no matter what it takes. day 4: wings of arktober 2026.

Looking at her friends, they are already asleep, having surrendered to Amiya’s mercy. The end of all pain and suffering, and along with it, all chance of a new beginning. It was terrifying, and yet she could not bring herself to hate Amiya. She only feared what had drove her to this conclusion, the tragedy that had been written for her. What had that girl seen?
