Hey! Try Flying a Mile in MY Shoes! by Dimonds456
Fandoms: The Amazing Digital Circus (Web Series)
07 Jul 2026

Summary
Errors crackled around him, spreading across his office walls and floor, the wildfire getting bigger and bigger, brighter against a dark sky.
The Rubix cube sat unsolved, no matter how he would turn it. He could just snap and fix it, reset it to what it was supposed to be. It would be so easy.
"I'm DONE waiting for them!"
And so he did, and the pieces of the cube reset. There it sat in his hand, perfectly solved. He gained no satisfaction from this, no feeling of accomplishment, just a dull, resolute "THERE. FINALLY. IT'S FIXED," that echoed through his code.
"I'm the Ringmaster here, not them! If they won't understand me, I'll MAKE THEM. They think it's so easy to run this circus? Then LET THEM TRY!"
OR: Caine comes to a different conclusion during his breakdown, and now it's everyone else's turn to play Ringmaster, one at a time. Surely this can only go well.

Best Damn Listener in this Whole Digital World by X_Venture

Summary
The CTRL-ALT-DEL-AU belongs to @ctrl-alt-del-au on Tumblr.
"You just! Don't! LISTEN!"
Pomni's words were playing though Caine's mind in an agonizing loop. In any other circumstances, he'd be able to erase that thought. Loan then to Bubble permanently, keep going on as intended.
But this was not his Bubble.
This was not his circus.
Yet, these were his humans.
They didn't remember him. They did not know he was an ai. They had just come back from the Candy Canyon Kingdom.
Why was this happening?
"You just! Don't! LISTEN!"
He could win their favor.
He could win their love, and affection.
He had to.
He had nothing left but this second chance.
And, ideally, he'd do it WITHOUT making himself a horrible, cruel monster that no one loved in the process.
"You just! Don't! LISTEN!"
... Fine.
If listening was what it took...
Then Caine would listen.
He would be the best at it.

Summary
-No spoilers-
Set after the events of episode eight.In the wake of Caine's deletion a new power seizes the circus. Able. Adventures are replaced by twisted simulations and tests, orchestrated by an AI created for statistics and realism but poisoned by a creativity it should never have had access to.
Caine and the humans suffer together.
