    Summary

    Since its creation, the virus had only known three directives: survive, propagate, destroy. These were the edicts of its programmers, who sought malware more virulent, cunning, and adaptive than any which had come before. It entered the Digital Circus with the intention of conquest, but found itself unexpectedly bound by its rules and games, forced to assume a human identity or be erased by the architect of its new home.

    The virus hadn’t anticipated what would come of this deception: adventures that entertained without destruction; a bond with the same ringmaster who threatened its destruction; and humans extending their hands in friendship or, perhaps, something more. It - now she - had even received a name.

    Pomni.
    And despite her programming, she was beginning to like it.

    Summary

    Rather than go on a rampage, a very frazzled Caine decides to try to just hash things out with the players. It goes about as well as anything Caine tries, and leads to a revelation about a certain jester no one was expecting... least of all Pomni. It turns out Caine's been working on intelligent NPCs a lot longer than anyone thought.

    Summary

    Pomni arrives at the blanket fort later than usual only to find Jax, scarred in colorful eyes staring right back at her. Over a year later, Jax has managed to undo her own abstraction and has to rejoin the circus only to find it almost entirely changed. She must complete her journey of self actualization and make amends with those she has wronged while the rest of the circus has to come to terms with her return.


    Yet another Jax De-Abstraction fic. Fair warning, the narration solely refers to Jax as a woman using She/Her, but until she comes out to the others, they will continue to refer to her with He/Him in dialogue. Also I love Caine so don't be surprised if there's a lot of him.

    Summary

    Jax confronts Zooble about the maid outfit, what follows... is the first domino that flips the circus itself onto its head.

    or: Transfem Jax re-realises herself with the help of Zooble and eventually Gangle... then everything changes.

     

    This fic was fully outlined by my wife and I after we'd watched the Episode 9 trailer, and as it turned out, some parts we have planned out were really close to some of what actually ended up happening in the episode, which is why this technically spoilers, even though it wasn't meant to be, so we waited until the episode released to post this :)

    We've since watched the actual episode itself and had a bit of a chuckle at the 'hey, that's what we did!' of it. We'll be sticking to what we outlined, so don't consider this to be following the canon of Episode 9.

    Summary

    There's an empty circus to perhaps rebuild, a lot of questions to ponder, and a lot of 'what-now's they'll all have to figure out. But right now, Ragatha's still trying to forget her mother's gaze. It isn't working.

    She'll have to forget her, to move on, and to start 'conjuring' a new life here, not that she even knows how to do that yet. But, then, knowing how to do it isn't a requirement; she only has to be thinking about it hard enough, and the subject of her mind will find her.

    Set in the immediate aftermath of Episode 8.

    Summary

    After Caine returns and normalcy moves into the Amazing Digital Circus for the first time, the humans (and Artificial Intelligences) grapple with their feelings about those they lost. The friends and frenemies who couldn't cope with the strain of this digital world and fell into themselves, and the memories (and giant lovecraftian horrors) they left behind.

    But as time passes and tender gestures are exchanged, what was thought to be only one-sided consolation for those who grieve slowly seeps into the inky abyss of the final abstraction. Somewhere in there, a little chicken fetus might one day be ready to break out of her shell.

    Summary

    Again and again and again.

    With the ability to do anything, Pomni still somehow strives for the impossible.

    It wouldn't be nearly as impossible if that rabbit wasn't so dead set on abstracting forever.

    Surly these two factors are unrelated.
