    Summary

    It started out as a normal day.
    Caine was having 1 of those days where he levitated objects around the Digital Circus while wacky music played. Behind her, Jax heard several people knock into each other & Gangle’s comedy mask breaking. She turned & saw something, or rather someone, had bumped into Kaufmo who knocked into Kinger who then made Gangle fall over. The 1 who started the chain of human dominos was a little jester girl.

    Summary

    Jax slammed the red button.

    After all, why wouldn't he? He's got no one out there for him, and the one person he's ever truly cared about - well, he's pretty sure they hate his guts.

    Except that one person happens to be an extremely stubborn young girl, determined to not give up on her missing older brother - even if that means venturing into the creepy abandoned building on the outskirts of town to find him…

    Summary

    The world where there wasn't a brain scan, where humans were dragged into a computer against their will... it's not a world with happy endings. And when the humans are ejected from the Circus, missing one of their own, they don't just get to go back to their lives. There's hospitals, and police, and desperately trying to be believed, followed by just as desperately trying to be left alone. But the one thing they have is each other. They have each other and that's never going to change.

    TADC AU – Non-SOMA, Escape the Circus. Everyone is insanely codependent and the way they got out was so traumatizing they can barely talk about it. Pomni tries her best to hold everyone together, while also getting re-used to a life outside, and wondering which world was actually better.

    MAY become Gangle/Zooble and/or Jax/Pomni if it goes on long enough, but most of the fic is focused on their platonic found family bond. MULTIPLE Trigger Warnings, both tagged and untagged; untagged will be labelled at the top of chapters. Viewer Discretion Advised.

    Summary

    9 years since Pomni arrived
    Since Caine was deleted
    Since Kinger became Ringmaster
    ….and then everything went back to normal
    Things continued to run par for the course:
    Adventures (admittedly much better ones)
    New Arrivals
    Abstractions
    Same old same old for the circus
    ………………Jaclyn (oh yeah, and she came out of the closet, so there’s that too) really expected that she would have Abstracted by now.
    I mean, c’mon! She’s…….her!
    She’s the one who had a dozen near-Abstractions in Pomni’s first month.
    She’s the one who nobody would’ve missed.
    She’s the one who deserved it the most.
    And yet? She’s still here.
    Most of the time Jaclyn’s happy about that
    But more than a few times, she hates herself for it, because after everything she had done, she really, really didn’t deserve to be the one who got a happy ending.
    Why did Pomni have to love her? Why did everyone have to care about her?
    It would’ve been easier to give up if they didn’t.
    And then Jaclyn keeps moving forward, because despite the guilt, she still doesn’t want to go
    So she’s still kicking when the newest character drops in.

    Summary

    What if the Digital Circus cast found TADC on the internet? What if they discovered their entire lives had been recorded and posted from the start for millions of people to see? Oh god, what if they find the ao3 fanfictions written about them?

    Additionally, it seemed their usually perky ex-ringmaster is hiding more from them than they first realized...

    TL;DR: They get access to the internet. Surely this will go extremely well.

    Summary

    From his mistake causing him to lose the first human, Caine had never been able to do anything about Abstraction. Once a human succumbed, they were beyond his ability or knowledge to fix. He could only put them away where they couldn't cause any further harm. He didn't know of any other solution. And with how much closer he was getting to the other humans, the more that he cared about them on a personal level, and the more the past failures taunted him...

    But they were learning more about Abstraction. The dark, the quiet, and the calm soothed them and made them safer to be around. Pomni managed to briefly connect with Jax's fading mind. He clearly didn't know as much as he believed about the phenomena.

    If he didn't have the information necessary to prevent or even reverse Abstraction, then perhaps someone else knew. It had been a very long time and humans were very clever. Someone out there could have an answer. He might be able to find a solution to help his humans if he could just learn more. And he'd recently found a new source of information after years cut off from any input.

    But abandoned computer systems don't get anti-malware updates. And the internet wasn't as safe as it seemed for an AI...

    Summary

    Daisy's third birthday culminates in a slightly tipsy Jax passing out in a pile of his own sick. Much to his and Pomni's surprise, it seems like the couple are expecting another child. However, memories of the past plague Jax and he questions if he's truly doing enough as a father and husband. Bowler (Kaufmo) catches onto this, sticking close to the bunny despite their past disagreements. But it all comes to a head when one adventure quickly causes a derailment of Ragatha and Gangle's relationship. Jax in the final stretches of his pregnancy learning that Ragatha's gotten herself pregnant as well brings interesting implications to something that had been previously claimed as a "fluke" by Caine. Perhaps digging into the past might unearth some traumas that the ringmaster hasn't been honest about so far.

    OR

    Jax and Ragatha both get pregnant and Caine hides secrets from Zooble

    Summary

    It's the start of an all new world for the Not Quite Amazing Yet Digital Circus.

    AI, NPC, and human alike are learning how to navigate this false reality that is the only truth they personally know. The only truth that matters right now after all they have lost and suffered through.

    A paradise awaits them if they can learn how to work together. Perhaps even a way to heal and recover what was damaged. Caine's apology is a fair start on his path to redemption... but how can you learn to trust those who have once hurt you so much? And is it still too late for those lost abstracted souls of the circus?
