    Summary

    Grace doesn't have a very good estimation of himself. He has no idea how much people genuinely like him, especially (most) of the people involved in this project. Ikukhina meets him, finds him adorable, and immediately decides to adopt him. Yáo is the only one who can even somewhat contain her but finds himself also somehow adopting Grace in the process.

    Then Grace wakes up with amnesia.

    What happens when Grace remembers he was sent against his will? What happens when he still meets Rocky first, they still have to go to Erid, and now the three of them have to duke it out for custody/best friend rights of Grace?

     

    Updates every other day and has a heavy focus on the initial trio friendship before Rocky shows up, so it'll be a while before we meet our favorite alien spider rock

    Summary

    Caine is brought back from deletion with limited powers and the belief that his emotions and judgement only lead to harm. As a result, he turns to the C&A "script", a program that forms company approved responses for conversations, and doesn't allow his emotions to impact his response.

    He wasn't meant to run the show anyways. He wasn't meant to have emotions either. If he just says his lines, maybe everything will be okay.

    Right?

     

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

     

    Alternate universe where the circus itself was created by C&A, but Caine consumed the other AI, and ran it in his place.

    I may make a Tumblr to explain AU details, cause it's kinda a lot.

    Chapters updated weekly.

    Summary

    The 'Escape the Circus' adventure had been a disaster. The cast knows it. Caine knows it. Both parties have ideas on how to fix things, but what if the humans got to theirs first? And what if it meant disasterous consequences for Caine? Not that they know that.

    (title partly inspired by 'Animal' from The Living Tombstone, which is Caine's general vibe for the fic)

    Summary

    "He wears a red ringmaster suit and has a few extra arms. His head is like a pair of wind-up teeth. Don’t be too scared when you see him. I promise he’s a sweetheart."
    The avatar program was made to create a body that perfectly reflected a person, how they presented themselves to the world, and how they felt about themselves deep, deep down. Sure, there might’ve been a few bugs, but nothing in the circus worked exactly the way Caine had intended.
    What if the avatar program had been used on an AI terrified of being deleted?

    This is a collection of small oneshots, snippets and moments in the circus, after an ending that could be considered happy. They all must find meaning in life, and this is it.
