    Summary

    Pomni was feeling increasingly desperate and found herself debating the merits of trying to seduce the AI god of the circus. She could suffer in a sexless purgatory for eternity or find something enjoyable to do. Specifically Caine. No, wait that was a terrible idea. Unless?

    Caine was entirely too exhausted when he found himself developing feelings he knew he shouldn't be having, but he'd found a thread of connection, and damn the consequences he'd take it-

    Oh dear. That was quite a few more errors than he expected.

    tldr; Caine can have an ounce of self awareness (to his detriment) and Pomni is just happy to get laid while she clings to sanity (and makes mistakes)

    Summary

    The circus members had started to notice that something was different with Caine. Sure, he always acted unpredictable and in unusual ways, but that was just it— he was starting to become predictable! Predictable, in the sense, that whenever the circus's newest addition (a certain jester) offhandedly mentioned something, it was almost immediately in their next adventure! And that's not to mention all the glances, comments, glitches, and buffering that Caine had been experiencing. No, Caine wasn't being subtle about it. At least, not to the rest of them. But to Pomni? To himself? It would be a miracle if the thought even formed in their heads.

    Or, I wanted an excuse to write some Showtime, because it's my crackship of the month. So here's a reimagining of TADC where Caine meets Pomni, and something inside his code shifts, and even if he doesn't understand it, it seems the others do. Mostly lighthearted fluff and hurt/comfort, because after that last episode we need it

    Summary

    The absence of Caine, unfortunately, makes way for something worse. Out of pure desperation, the gang rescues him from deletion in hopes he can save them from being deleted too.

    Caine gets another chance to prove himself, though he's not sure he wants to, and he still doesn’t understand how it all went so wrong in the first place.

    Nobody really wants to die here. Nobody really has much of a choice on how to make that happen. And certainly, nobody is really happy with their former tormentor(s).

    But…any port in a storm, right? And maybe with a little patience and effort and compassion, they can all learn to just...live.

    Summary

    No one noticed the infection before it was too late, not even Caine.

    Driving mad by the corruption, the Ringmaster adapted a monstrous form to hunt down anything that moves... unable to tell the difference between a malicious virus, or his beloved players. The humans are forced to hide to survive, stuck in endless game of cat and mouse that's been going on for years. Now they wait for the end, but what will get them first? The Viruses? Caine? Or will they simply succumb to abstraction?

     

    Until one day a certain jester joins the Circus, causing Caine to reboot.
